The preliminaryheats will be run off tonight and thefinals tomorrow night.Last year Minnesota carried off thehonors, their first title in swimmingfor some time. The year before thatthe Varsiety team copped the confer¬ence in the finals held at Northwest¬ern University.Purple Have Strong TeamThis season Northwestern boasts ofthe strongest team in years. The Pur¬ple have won seven straight confer¬ence victories so far and have notbeen defeated. Among their victimsis Minnesota, last year’s title-holders.It will be a close fight for first honorsbetween these two teams, with North¬western the favorite.Nearly every team in the meet, thisweek-end, will have a star in at leastone event. The team, however, withthe strongest free-style performerswill be the most likely to place high inthe point column.Breyer Star In DashesThe Purple possesses one of thefastest men in collegiate circles in theperson of Ralph Breyer. Breyer holdsconference records in the short dis¬tance free-style events and is followedclosely by Johnny Bennett of Wiscon¬sin. The latter is superior in the dis¬tance swim.It has been rumored that Ed Blinks,Maroon ace for the last two years, willbe able to compete. According to“Doc” White, this is doubtful, and ifBlinks swims it will be contrary to hisdoctor’s orders. His presence wouldmake the Varsity a factor in the re¬sults of the meet.Close Fight In Breast StrokeFaricy of Minnesota holds the con¬ference breast stroke record but willbe closely pressed by Czerwonky ofthe Cardinals, who has been doing better work this season. A tight race lapromised between the two in thisevent. Lyons of the Varsity will en¬deavor to place next to these stara.Capt. Taylor of the Illini is conced¬ed the plunge. He holds national rec¬ords in this event and his closest rivalis Hedeen of the Varsity, who hasbeen doing his best work this season.Bowen, also of the Illini, is expectedto cop the back-stroke.Lack Of (iood DiversThere has been no outstanding diverin the conference this season and forthat reason the competition should behot and close though not of the high¬est order. Dorf of the Maroons, Kochof the Badgers, and Wells of the Pur¬ple stand the highest in past perform¬ances.The preliminaries tonight will berun off differently from those of pre¬vious years. * Men entered in the freestyle events will not be forced to tirethemselves out in numerous trialheats as heretofore. Only the fastestin the respective heats will qualifyfor the finals.Cowles Lectures On PlantsDr. Cowles of the Botany depart¬ment will give an illustrated lectureon “Social Relations in Plant Com¬munities” before a meeting of theSociology club to be held this eveningat 8 in Classics TO.Economics Meeting Postponed . .The meeting of the Home Econo¬mics club which was scheduled for thisafternoon has been postponed untilthe spring quarter. By John F. McGuireMany Big Ten cage stars presentthemselves for consideration forplaces on all All-Conference basket¬ball team after one of the most inter¬esting races since the elevation of thefloor game to a major sport in theWestern Conference. Choices madeby The Daily Maroon are based uponthe work of the men throughout theseason, offensive and defensive play,basket shooting ability and spirit be¬ing the major qualities.The formidable Badger quintet,which finished its season in a tie withthe Hawkeyes for first place honors,leads with two men on the first team.They are Rollie Williams and GusTebell, two of the greatest guardsto grace the Big Ten floors since thedays of “Tony” Hinkle and “Fritz”Crisler. oBth of these men stood outprominently in all of the Badger con¬tests, and were two main reasons whythe Cardinals finished at the top ofthe heap. Both of these men havehad three years of Big Ten experi¬ence. during which time they haveshown their ability to dribble and passwith great precision, as well as tobreak up an opposing offensive.Chosen for Center PositionThe pivot position goes to Capt.(Continued on page 3)BIG VICE SPOTS NOTHIT IN POLICE RAIDSVIEW OF THRASHERPolitical Corruption ProtectsMany Of Worst Places,ClaimFrederic M. Thrasher of the De¬partment of Sociology, speaking yes¬terday on “The Sociology of Vice”before the Woman’s Club in the FineArts Building declared that modernvice in its serious form is a productof the natural forces of city life andthat, like organized crime and ganglife with which it is closely associ¬ated, it hides behind the curtain ofanonymity which the great city pro¬duces.Mr. Thrasher dealt with vice as anoutstanding problem in the moderncity and was followed by Judge DanielTrude, of the Morals Court, who spokeon the present situation In Chicago.The latter who has been prominentwith Judge McKinley and others inthe present vice investigation declaredthat organized vice in Chicago isworse now than ever, even before theabolition of the segregated districtin 1911. In spite of the recent ptsj’ceactivity he maintains that many ofthe leading places which have politi¬cal protection have not been molested.Says Graft Abets ViceMr. Thrasher, speaking from thetheoretical side, said, “Political cor¬ruption and police graft which are theresult of the failure of social controlsin the large group abet the viciousinterests that exploit the sex impulse.The restless spirit of the age in itsmad rush for excitement and pleasureis one of the underlying conations ofthe present disorganization of familylife and sex relationships. The rem¬edy lies in scientific study on whichmay be bnsed conscious control byorganized cooperation.”As a result of the lecture, Mr.Thrasher was appointed to the Chi¬cago Council for Social Hygiene madeup of agencies for combntting the viceevil, to help outline n procedure forimprovement of the situation.

The public¬ity, press, program, and box-office de-pa vUnents have already started work.It was announced that the chorusrehearsals would begin the first of thespring quarter. Phi Delta Theta defeated LambdaChi Alpha in one of the semi-finalgames of the Interfraternity Bowlingtournament rolled Tuesday night. Theother game, scheduled between PsiUpsilon and S. A. E., was not run offbecause of the protest filed by AlphaSigma Phi which would directly affectthe standing in League B and theLeague’s entrants in the semi-finals.Lambda Chi Alpha players lost bya margin of 107 pins after leadingtheir opponents in the first two gamesrolled. That they lost the series maybe attributed to the fact that they felldown badly in the last game. Quickand Barnett, anchor men on the PhiDelt’s and the Lambda Chi’s respec¬tively rolled the high games of thematch, each coming through with a200 score, though Barnett lead Quickon total score by one point, 492 to491.The finals cannot be played untilthe Interfraternity Council takes ac¬tion on the protested A. T. O. games.In case Alpha Sigma Phi’s protest isupheld they will meet Psi Upsilon inthe other game of the semi-finals;otherwise S. A. E. will roll the gamewith the Psi U.’s as it was originallyscheduled. Until the council gives itsopinion nothing will be done.Burton To Speak AtC. and A.

Reservations at$1.50 per plate may be made at thedesk in Cobb 6-B.Downstate University RulesDiscussed in Third ArticleV..This is the third of a series of articleson scholarship standards and eligibil¬ity rules at other universities.By Jack OppenheimContrary to the generally acceptednotion, scholarship standards at theUniversity of Illinois are not excep¬tionally low.The only basis on which the com¬mon assumption might be proved isby showing that faculty membersthere are more lenient in grading thanprofessors and instructors elsewhere—all of which is a matter of opinionand beyond scientific calculation.The significance of grades given atregular semester examinations is al¬most identical with that of course-book grades here. A is equivalentto excellent; B is good; C, fair; D,poor but passing; and E, failure.“Semester Hour” SystemCredit is recokoned in “semesterhours.” An “hour” is one class perioda week for one semester. Certaincourses carry a variable number ofhours, that is, according to the amountof work done in them by the individualstudent.Each student is required to pursuestudies aggregating not fewer thanfifteen nor more than eighteen hours.Exceptions to this rule are made inthe case of students who have receivedgrades of A in at least one-half of Itheir work of the preceding semester.In order to receive his bachelor’s jdegree a student must have secured jgrades of not less than C in subjectsaggregating three-fourths of thework required for the degree.Final examinations are required atthe end of each semester in all sub¬jects except those the character ofwhich renders them unnecessary orimpractical.The degrees of discipline at Illinoisare: expulsion, dismission, suspen¬sion, and reprimand. Expulsion ispermanent exclusion from the Uni¬versity; dismission, exclusion for n settime not to exceed two semesters;suspension, exclusion without a defi nite period, but not to exceed one se¬mester; reprimand, an admonitiongiven in acordance with the circum¬stances of the case. A student maybe expelled, dismissed or finallly suspended only by the Council Adminis-1tration.Probation rules are quite stringent.!Any student whose work falls belowC in more than one-fourth of the work; for which he is registered in any se-' mester or summer session may be' placed upon probation at the discre¬tion of the Council; and in case ineither of the next two sessions forwhich he is registered he fails to passthe required minimum number ofhours (eleven hours for a semester,six hours for a summer session), heis dropped from the college.A student in those colleges of theUniversity which admit directly fromthe high school, who fails to make apassing grade in a prescribed mini¬mum of work is automatically placedupon probation. He is dropped fromthe college if he fails to fulfill therequired minimum number of hours ineither one of his next two semestersof residence.During the period of their proba¬tion, students are not allowed to takepart in any athletic, musical, literary,dramatic or oratorical contest or ex¬hibition, or serve on the staff of anystudent publication, or hold or becomecandidates for any undergraduate of¬fice. 'No freshman may become a memberof any fraternity until the end of thefirst semester, and then not until hehas produced from the Dean of MenI a statement certifying that he has' successfully completed at least elevenhours of the work in which he wasregistered.Fraternities may not have lodgersin their chapter houses longer thanthe semester in which they arepledged.These regulations apply to initiationin sororities, except that the requiredstatements must be obtained from theDean of Women. Fire At Engravers DestroysCuts Of Mazagine AndAnnualCAP AND GOWN LOSES 50 CUTSPostponement of the March issueof The Circle until sometime in April,was announced yesterday by EditorLenox Grey, following confirmation ofrumors current earlier in the weekto the effeet that all cuts intendedfor the issue had been destroyed ina fire which broke out in the offices ofthe Standard Engraving company ear¬ly Monday morning.In the same fire between fifty andsixty cuts intended for the 1923 Capand Gown were destroyed, while sev¬eral hundred others were protected bythe tin roof, which fell on them andkept the flames away.Among the illustrations lost by TheCircle was the full page caricature ofProf. Robert Morse Lovett by Gonza¬les and a number of cuts illustratingan article by Jack Oppenheim on con¬temporary cartoonists. Not onlywere the cuts destroyed, but the copywas ruined by water, necessitatingthe remaking of the original sketches.Work on the new material is beingpushed and plans are . being made tosupplement the issue with a greatmany contributions which have comein since the magazine went to press.The result will be a bigger and bet¬ter publication than has ever beenpossible before. As finally issued,The Circle will practically representtwo issues in one.Most of the cuts lost by the Capand Gown were of the fraternitygroups. Fortunately, the Cap andGown has copies of all the pictureswhich were destroyed and resittingswill not be necessary. Work on theannual will have to be rushed, butthe publication of the book will notbe delayed.The fire which destroyed the workrooms of the Standard Engravingcompany on the top floor of the oldTimes Building, started early Mon¬day morning, from crossed wires onthe roof. Defective insulation isgiven as the cause of the conflagra¬tion, the third which has been suf¬fered by the firm in the last tenmonths.Destruction of all the material forthe Circle and the Cap and Gown wasaverted by the tin roof of the buildingfalling on the finished cuts, protect¬ing them from the direct action ofthe flames. All copy in the plant atthe time was ruined by water.Maroon Quoted InBook By SinclairIn Upton Sinclair’s new book, “TheGoose Step,” dealing with Americanuniversities, there is a chapter called“Little Halls for Radicals,” in whichSinclair tells of his experiences whenlecturing here before the Liberalclub.The review of his lecture in theDaily Maroon, which took a hostiletone to the well known writer, isquoted in part in this chapter. AMaroon editorial written in praise ofhis sportsmanship on the tennis courtin competition with Arthur Franken¬stein, last year’s tennis captain, isalso quoted.BASKETBALL HONORSIN TOURNAMENT GOTO JUNIOR COLLEGEAgain the Junior college has walkedaway with the honors in women’s in¬ter-college athletic meets.

Such an appeal reachesour ears today. In an intercollegiatereferendum the thinking students ofour country will be asked to registertheir views on a great issue. This isno light task, for the issue is wovenof threads that are psychological aswell as moral, economic as well aspolitical. It is the French occupa¬tion of the Ruhr.At the breach between France andEngland on January 4 of this year,due to their disagreement on the rep¬arations settlement, a crisis in post¬war history was reached. A weeklater French troops marched into theRuhr valley to collect by force themoney due from Germany.For three years the vision of thisevent had hung like a thundercloudover Europe. As each successive in¬ternational conference tottered to itscollapse, a threat of invasion byFrance sufficed to hold it together,until it proved “successful,” or wasadjourned to await another meeting.At the coming in of the year 1923the last inning of the great game wasplayed. By that time the world hadalmost come to think that the Ruhrbogey had never been more than a cryof “Wolf! Wolf!” It was mistaken.What is this Ruhr ? It is a littlevalley the size of Rhode Island, justbeyond the Rhine. In it there swarmsa densely packed hive of people,4,000,000 in all, of whom a large pro¬portion are laborers. The coal miners,who number two-thirds as many as allthe miners in the United States, pro¬duce eight percent of the total coaldug in Germany. In the huge steelworks of Essen and the neighboringcities seventy percent of the Germansteel is made. The other manufac¬tures of the region are little less valu¬able. Small wonder that PremierPoincare thinks that to tax this littleregion would be to hold what he calls“productive guarantees.”To lay heavy taxes on the outputof the mines and factories of the Ruhrwas the original purpose of the Frenchgovernment. But the resistance of theGerman authorities, industrial leaders,and workers has blocked that. Noweach nation is digging in for whatamounts to a prolonged trench war¬fare. The one that can hold out thelonger will win—or lose less than theother. For how can a death grapplelike this lead to any but disastrousresults? Far away as the conflict is,even we should carefully ponder that.—Yale NewsENUSPENCILStjht Urye't trllau) QiuUti/penat in tSc worldU( IR the student or prof., the■ superb VENl S out-rivalsall for perfect pencil work.17 black degrees—3 copying.American I .endPencil Co.220 1'ilth \ve.Nr«. >...k &\7 Today the International number ofthe Phoenix will be on sale.

Massachusetts Institute of TechnologySCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICEA graduate school offering a course of study leading to the degree ofMaster of Science, With field stations established at six different companieslocated in Bangor, Maine; Boston, Mass.; and Buffalo, N. Y. Thesecompanies produce sulphite and soda pulp, paper, caustic soda, chlorine,heav^ acids and salts, sugrfr, coke, gas, steel, ammonia, benzol, etc.The more important operations of Chemical Engineering, as typified bythe abcrJe processes, are studied systematically by means of tests and experi¬mental Work on full scale plant apparatus. One of the objects of this workis to fix in the mind of the student the principles of Chemical Engineer¬ing and to correlate these principles with practice.The Work is non-remunerative and is independent of control by theplant management, and therefore the whole attention of the student isdirected to the Study of Chemical Engineering.The total number admitted to the school is limited and the students,studying and experimenting in small groups, receive individual instruction.Before admission to the School of Chemical Engineering Practice, allstudents must have adequate preparation in chemistry and engineering.The able student can complete the requirements for the Master of Sciencedegree in one and one-half years.At the present time, thirty-one colleges and universities are representedamong the men attending the School of Chemical Engineering Practice andthese men comprise over one-half the enrollment.For further details address; R.

The Badgers played unbeat¬able ball in these final tilts and welldeserve their lofty position.The only upset in the last week ofthe season came when the lowly Goph¬ers turned around and trounced Indi¬ana, sole conquerors of the Hawk-eyes. This victory mars an otherwiseunbroken record of defeats and placesMinnesota in a tie with Ohio State.Maroons Spurt At EndTrie Maroons closed the season withfive straight wins, previous to theBadger defeat, and give promise ofhaving one of the strongest entries inthe 1924 race. Purdue aod Illinois havebeen on about the same plane with theVarsity, their standings hoveringaround the .500 mark.Northwestern has been a sad disap¬pointment to their followers, the team,after a brilliant start, falling awaybadly. Indiana has about the same rec¬ord, gaining most of their victories atthe expense of the tail-enders. Ohio State and Minnesota have beenthe weak sisters of the year, one vic¬tory and eleven defeats composingtheir final standing.Barnes of the Maroons, after a closefight with Funk of Iowa, won the in¬dividual scoring championship. TheHawkeye was second and Captain Ely,of the Wolverines, third. Miner ofOhio State, the early leader, was un¬able to locate the net in his latter at¬tempts and dropped to fourth place.TypewritersALL MAKESSold and RentedReasonable PricesSpecial Rental Rates to StudentsREMINGTON PORTABLESAmerican Writing MachineCompanyS29 S.
