Tickets will be $1.25 each. Eachfoursome will play its own game andeach table will have a prize.The party is being held to aid thescholarship fund. Wyvern was thefirst of the women’s club to presentthe* University with a scholarship forwomen in need of financial assistance.Tickets may be secured from Dor¬othy McKinlay, Foster hall, or Vir¬ginia Hibbcn, Oakland 6684. Following the adoption of classtoques by the sophomores, the Juniorsand Seniors have chosen distinctivehead-gear for campsu wear.The move is made with the author¬ization of the Undergraduate council.The presidents of the two classes,John Thomas for the seniors and ElsaAllison for the juniors, proposed totheir class committees that the twoclasses assume toques, as their wear¬ing was entirely in line with DeanWilkin’s program for the promotionof class spirit and morale. Elsa Al¬lison gave the idea that the wholeJunior class was very much in favorof anything to promote class spirit,and that the class would back the ideawhole-heartedly.The proposed caps will be on saleat the University Book-store forninety cents, the same price thathas been charged for Freshman andSophomore toques. An innovationand improvement, according toThomas Mulroy, who is managingthe matter for the Undergraduate■council, is being made in the size ofthe caps. Complaints have been madeby the Sophomores that many of thecaps are too small, and that they donot cover the ears comfortably forthe cold weather. “Larger caps, andthicker materials will overcome thisdifficulty,” said Mulroy.Color styles will be different for thetwo classes. The suggested caps forthe Seniors are maroon with white tas¬sels, and for the Juniors, the coloischeme is to lx- reversed, white capswith red tassels.STUDENT CLUB FORSTUDY OF POLITICSFORMED BY CURWINWill Hold Mock Conventionsand Sessions ofCongressFor the purpose of promoting stu¬dent interest in politics, both local andnational, a club is now being organ¬ized.

This is the con¬clusion of “Doc” Bratfish, for manyyears head of the Reynolds club bar¬ber shop.“We are going to hire a manicurist,“Doc” said today. “It seems that thefellows demand it. And with |he hir¬ing of the female attendant it will benecessary for us to enlarge our quar¬ters in order to meet the increasedtrade which I expect as a result of at¬tractive addition to our staff."And “Doc” has also found out otherthings about the tonsorial demandsof the University man. In fact, heclaims that he has reduced his pro¬fession to an absolute science.“I”vc got a new haircut which Thave evolved as the result of my con¬tact with the men on campus.

Temperature on the Mid¬way on Saturday was lower thanthat recorded, which Mr. Johnson be¬lieves, was caused by the density ofsmoke generated by the suburbantrains.FOURTEEN COLLEGESTRY FOR HONORS INGLEE CLUB CONTESTMay Send Winning Songstersto New York inMarchThe second annual inter-collegiateglee club contest will be held on Mon-da ynight, Feb. 18, at 8:15, at Orches¬tra hall.

It isplanned to burrow’ under HutchisonCommons in order to obtain spacefor eight chairs. Dean Wilkins and JonesStudy Records OnFailingRecorder DismissesSixty-four StudentsThe office of the recorder an¬nounced yestterday that onlysLxay-tfour students were dis¬missed for failure to come up toscholastic requirements duringthe Autumn quarter, 1923, as com¬pared with eighty-nine at the endoff the same quarter in 1912.As the result of a thorough investi¬gation on the subject of re-admission oistudents who have “flunked” out beingmade by Dean Ernest Hatch Wilkins,it is now shown that students who aredropped the first quarter and are re¬admitted have twelve chances in 310 ofgraduating. A similar investigation byDean Wellington I). Jones is now beingconducted on the psychological side ofthe question of flunking.By compilation of the available rec¬ords on failing and dismissed studentsfor the last four years in the Schoolof Art, Literature and Science, DeanWilkins has found that out of 75 stu¬dents whose petitions for readmissionhave lx;en granted, 42 have repeatedtheir first program and been dismissedfor the second time, and only nine have,reached graduation.Draw Upp ChartDean Wilkins has drawn up a shartfrom the statistics at hand, and be¬lieves that these figures clearly showthat it very unwise to re-admit stu¬dents who drop out the first and sec¬ond quarters and that steps will be takento make such re-admissions much moredifficult to obtain. He also believes thatit is distinctly not worth while to havestudents in residence w’ho are strug-glin gagainst such odds, both from thepoint of view of the University and ofthq individual.Study Causes for Poor WorkThree reasons assigned by Dean Wil¬kins for the poor work shown by manyfreshmen are;1. Inattention to the purpose of schol¬astic endeavor.2. Overemphasis on school activitiesoutside the curriculum.3. Demands of outside work for self-support.Dean Jones intends to investigate thematter further and strive to obtain asmaller number of dismissals througha better understanding of the problemsof the matriculant. Improvement wasshown this year over the record of fail¬ures for the same quarter in 1922.ANNUAL DEBATE FORCHAMPIONSHIP WILLBE PUBLIC AFFAIRDeparting from the usual practice ofadmitting no outsiders to Universitydebates, the annual championship debateto be staged next Friday evening inMandel hall, between the University’saffirmative team and Northwestern’snegative, will be a public affair, and noadmission will be charged.The question of debate will be, “Re¬solved : That the British system of un¬employment insurance should he adopt¬ed by the United States.” Team cap¬tain, Maurice Kaminsky, Philip Wain,and Alrik Gustafson will represent theUniversity. Dean Ernest Hatch Wil¬kins wil act as chairman.The University’s affirmative team,consisting of Carroll Christinson, Rich¬ard Demeree, and Ted Ray, will meetMichigan’s negative the same eveningat Ann Arbor.Manicurest, New Haircut,Barber Bratfish PromisesPage Two(IIn' Datli| UJarmiuThe Student Newspaper of theL'uh’ersity of ChicagoU ■ -- , ’ .... t ■ =Pul>liHlie<l urn minim, eicept Saturday, Sun¬day and M outlay during the Autumn.Winter and Spring quarters by The DallyMaroon Company.Kntered u« aocond i*1h*» mail at the Cbl-enuo l’ostottlee, Chicago, Illinois, March13, V.mmI. under the act of March S, 1873Offices Ellis 1Telephones:Editorial Office Midway 0800Business Office Fairfax 5522Member ofThe Western Conference Press JvasoctatlonAROUND THE CIRCLE THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1924“Doc” Molander’s intramural sportprogram got its official start last nightwhen six fraternity teams battled inthe first round of the basketballtourney. We believe the time thatlie has spent in the study of intra¬mural sports at other universities hasbeen a genuine contribution to thewelfare of undergraduates. The Greekteams responded to the best of theirabilities; talk at the supper tables wasmostly devoted to discussion of pos¬sibilities of wins or losses. 1 he play¬ers were good sports; the games wereclean; the exercise was strenuous.Although we seem to be devotinga large amount of space, both in edi¬torial and news columns to the in¬tramural sports program, we think itwell worth while to push the programto the fullest extent. Some time ago,in forecasting the results of an intro¬duction of intramural athletics here,we ventured that undergraduateswould give their whole-hearted sup¬port to such a proposition.They did last night.Dean Wilkins, with his usual sin¬cere interest in beneficial undergrad¬uate activity, will act as chairman ofthe coming Chicago-Not thwesterndebate. That a Dean of the colleges,who has many—perhaps too many—other duties and responsibilities, shouldact in this capacity for undergraduates,is admirable. But this occasion onDean Wilkins’s part of only one ofmany. To the Editor:The inference of Mr. Shipman’sletter yesterday was that he was sur¬rendering his position on the Univer¬sity debating team and Ills scholar->hip because of his conscience. Why,then, should he wait until ten daysbefore the debate to resign? If therewas no more reason than that hewanted an investigation, could he nothave waited two weeks for it?The facts are that Shipman hadbeen warned by the coach that hiswork was not good enough to repre¬sent Chicago against Michigan. In¬stead of exercising his full preroga¬tive as coach and putting someone inhis place to fill the gap immediately,Mr. Hoyt gave him repeated warn¬ing and finally gave him along withthe rest of the squad, full chance tocompete with the alternates to showthat they .were the right men for theirplaces. That test was to come nextFriday. Shipman wouldn’t stand thetest and now he tries to be spectacu¬lar in resigning.Mr. Shipman certainly has rightsafter being selected for the squad atthe final tryout. But he also has anobligation to work hard in trainingand co-operate in building the strong¬est possible case for Chicago. Thecoach must be the absolute judge asto whether a man is doing his best.Would Mr. Stagg tie his hands byguaranteeing the line-up two monthsbefore the big game?Certainly there was every advan¬tage in keeping on the team the mententatively selected. Both coachesand men are now working feverishly—in the case of the alternates at thelast moment—to put out a winningteam against both Northwestern andMichigan. What kind of a Chicagoman have we here who will refuse togive his best and start knocking otithe eve of battle? How does Mr.Shipman think this will help?—N. A.

We trust that it is nota personal matter with them. TheUniversity has had too many grudgestaken out in printed material; “GreyTowers” and “The Goose Step” bothsay something—or attempt to saysomething about the University ofChicago. On the other hand thecriticism may be justifiable. We urgestudents to attend the debates, famili¬arize themselves with its organiza¬tion, and offer comments.Both sides should he heard, how¬ever. To the Editor;I have read the letter of my col¬league, David Shipman, in which hesuggests an investigation of debat¬ing conditions at Chicago. Since thethird member of our team, Mr. Bright,has been ill for some weeks, I cannotsay what his attitude is on the ques¬tion. But as for myself I am of thesame opinion as Mr. Shipman. I havefound that debating under the pres¬ent system is worth neither the timeand money expended by the Univer¬sity nor the efforts of those inter¬ested.For these reasons I also resign mymembership on the team.—RALPH J.

TheMaroons arc favored to win becauseof their victory over Yale and the factthat Northwestern bowed to the sonsof Eli last Saturday.The purple were handicapped bythe loss of one of their star playerswho will return to the lineup tonightand are expected to give their southside rivals a strong bid for the honors.Saturday’s upset by Purdue put adamper on the hopes of Maroon fanswho were looking forward to a con¬ference championship team, and un¬less the Maroons wake up and comeout on the long end of the score aboutevery game, the title will rest else¬where.Varsity Perfects DefenceFailure to stop the Boilermakerforwards was the cause of the down¬fall of the Norgrenites, and the Maroonmentor has been working toward aperfection of a defense in order tohold all opponents to as low a scoreas possible.The highly touted five-man defensedid not work out as well as expected,and the failure of the forwards tocome through at the proper time keptthe Chicago end of the score down.Smidl to Be At CenterPractically the same lineup thatstarted the Yale and Purdue gameswill compose the quintet tonight,Smidl will he the tip-off man. Barnesand Weiss will do the guarding, andAlyea and Duggan will start as fot-wards. Captain Campbell Dicksonwill probably enter the fray in thesecond half.Subs May See ActionIn the event that the Maroons runup a big enough score against thenorth siders, Barta. Abbott, BobHowell, and Frieda will probably begiven a chance, although if the samething happens as in the Yale game,this policy may prove disastrous.The M. roons are expected to rushthings at the start and run up a leadsufficient to hold the Purple, afterwhich a defensive game will result.Northwestern OptomisticAn entirely different outlook on to¬night’s game prevails on the Evans¬ton campus. Contrary to ttie generalopinion of the baskkctball fans on theMidway, Purple supporters expect tosee their quintet romp home the vic¬tors. The feeling on the North sideis that their institution is over due fora major championship and they ex¬pect Maury Kent to biing the North¬western basketeers into the first di¬vision this year.The optomistic Purple point to thefact that their athletes will he play¬ing on the home floor before a friend¬ly crowd who would rather sec North¬western trim Chicago than any otheropponent. Under these conditionsthey expect Kent’s men to arise tothe occasion.Comparative scores are consideredas no criteria by the Northerners hutthey emphasize that several of theirstars were missing in the Yale game;some of them being inclegiblc andlost to the squad for good while otherswill be on hand for tonight’s g;fmc.
