WHAT of IT?jffiteQWge HOK6EN8HHHThe other night, in the course ofone of my fireside conversationswith one of the boys, the question ofthe true function of a college, andthe place of activities in the schemeof things, came up. It was the con¬tention of the fellow with whom Iwas talking that I and the rest ofthe crowd like me — the so-called“activity” men — were getting no¬where. “Of course,” he said, “I”(and fellows like ME) usually missgoing the right way in college a gooddeal farther than fellows who throwthemselves into the activity whirl.Whereas you, at least, have some¬thing to keep your hands busy and,consequently, the devil away fromyou, the rest of us collegians of leis¬ure do not We sit here ,in frontof the fire—reduced to so many pairsof pants on a sofa—and never getanything done. We are a lazy bunchof louts. We engage ourselves inheart games, guzzle weak beer, letthe books slide, yawn, and go tobed bored. I’m one of the crowd—I admit it I wish I could live thefull.life that a college ought to rep¬resent, but I (and about everyoneelse 1 know) do not. Sloth has creptinto my marrow, and my case ishopeless."* * * *. “And what,” I inquired, “wouldyou seek to do with your four yearsif you had the chance to start itall over?” Well,” he returned, “it’smy guess that we’re all making anawful muss of it. You write*thatcolumn of yours and do your otherthings, and they’re all right, butwhat do they represent in the wayof real achievement when you takea straight look at it? Some of usknock off the marks (not I, ofcourse, but some of us), and howdo we do it? If we’re gentlemen, wemanage it on our smoothness andglihness, if we’re not, we do it bygrinding. We get the little goldkey, and what’s the difference? Weget elected to things, we are givenour ‘ribbons to wear on our coats’,honor society badges to wear on ourvests, and what do they mean? Thoseof us who work for them, that is,get them. Most of us—I in the num¬ber—don’t get anything. We’re evenworse off than you activity andscholarship bugs.”* * * * tMy friend continued. “It seemsto me that those of us who set outto ‘accomplish something’ in collegeset up the wrong objectives. We goout to get a list of titles after ournames in the year book when wegraduate. We seek the superficialmedals of distinction to wear on ourcoats, like we did as children whenwe were given the Sunday Schoolattendance medal. What I’d like tosee in a college and in college men(how I’d like to see it in myself!) isa genuine intellectual curiosity. I’veseen it in older men, but rarely inthe crowd that’s in college thesedays. It seems to me that if youhave that curosity, you’ll get some¬thing real out of college. You’llread what you don’t have to read,you’ll look ?nto everything, you’llhnd that everything holds an ele¬ment of interest for you. The moreravenous this curiosity, the betterfor you.* * * *fhe activity ga£ and scholar¬ship for the little gold key’s sake,”he continued, “militate against a re¬alization of this ideal situation in thecollege and the student. Activitiesshould be thrown out—it’s (‘just fora handful of silver’ that we missgetting anywhere. Fraternities, ifwe So at the thing thoroughly,would have to go, too. I wish I couldget over to Oxford or somewhereand develop this intellectual cyrl-°sity. But I can’t,” he said hopeless¬ly. “I’m just a lazy clown in front ofa fire, and you and your crowd’—better far than I though you be—are just a pack of Boy Scouts outhunting merit badges for yoursleeves.” GRADUATE CLUBTO OPEN UNIQUEHOUSE, FEB. 23New Home Fills GreatCampus Need Is GradClaimAn opening reception for the newGraduate club house at 5727 Univer¬sity Avenue will be held February23, it was announced today by theGraduate Student Council.

WALKER JOURNALTO SWELL RANKSOF PUBLICATIONSPaleontology Stories ToMonopolize SpaceIn JournalAnother publication will soon beadded to the ranks of those being is¬sued by departments of the Uni¬versity. The newcomer will be titled“The Bulletin of Walker Museum.”It is to be devoted to articles relatingto paleontology, which will be con¬tributed largely by the staff ofWalker museum, by the members ofthe department of paleontology, andby students doing research work inpaleontology.This new publication will be acompanion to the present “Journalof Geology” in some respects, butwill be more limited in its scope atthe outset. To a certain degree, itwill supplement the work done bythat publication at the University.Plans for publishing this journalhave been under consideration forsome time, and they have been re¬cently approved by the President’soffice. /Finances ArrangedArrangements for the financing ofthe bulletin are now being made, andit will not definitely be known whenthe first number will appear untilthese negotiations have been com¬pleted. It is probable, from theplans that have been made, that thispublication will be handled by theUniversity Press on a basis similarto that on which the other depart¬mental journals are managed.There are already eleven journalsof a comparable nature published bythe Press, and they are to be joinedby the Social Service Review. Theexisting publications are: “TheBotanical Gazette,” “The Astrophy-sical Journal,” “The Journal of Geol¬ogy,” “The American Journal of So¬ciology,” “The Journal of PoliticalEconomy,” “The Journal of Reli¬gion,” “The American Journal ofSemitic Languages and Literature,”“Classical Philology,” “Modern Phil¬ology,” “The International Journalof Ethics,” and “The English Jour¬nal.”Art Dinner TicketSales Close TodayThe limited sale of tickets for theannual Art club dinner to. be heldtomorrow at 6 in the sun parlor ofIda Noyes hall will close today.Talks by faculty members of theArt department, who will be theevening's guests will follow the ban¬quet.Burton Club PlansQuarter’s ActivitieaPlans for social and athletic ac¬tivities for the quarter will be dis¬cussed by members of the Burtonclub at the mid-quarter meeting tobe held today from 3 to 5 in RoomA of the Reynolds club.

Do away with it and you do away with the activity for,in time, the “baton” passes into inferior hands; hands incapableof handling the situation. And since, with a small group in con¬trol, the “baton” is eventually dropped the race, for that activity,is run.Monopoly in a campus activity is unhealty. It keeps cap¬able men on the sidelines. It is with apprehension, therefore,that we run through the Basketball Interscholastic appointments—following those of Settlement Night.Of the six men in line for the major Inter scholastic appoint¬ment next Winter there are three Dekes, two Alpha Detls andone D. U. Of the juniors managing the meet there two AlphaDelts and one Deke—a total of eight men representing twofraternities, in twelve appointments.Of the four men eligible for Chairman of Settlement Nightthere are two Alpha Delts, one Deke and one Psi U.The major positions of two of the foremost campus activ¬ities must be filled, therefore, from four Dekes, four Alpha Delts,one D. U. and one Psi U. The figures would lead us to believethat all of the capable men are within two groups. A carefulstudy of the appointees leaves ample room for speculation.OPERATIONS OF THE REDS IN KANSAS CITY JUNIORCOLLEGEUT IN KANSAS CITY the faculty of the City Junior Collegehas expunged from its hundred-per-cent-American roster thename of one Fling, an undergraduate with some intelligence andmuch guts. The President of the College characterized youngFling’s sin as “part of a nation-wide movement of the reds towreck our educational institutions.”The sin was an old one and familiar. A student newspaper,The Collegian, proposed to print reviews of “The Silver Stallion,”‘ The Professor’s House” and “The Dybbuk”. The faculty sup¬pressed the issue which contained the reviews. Five student’s,led by Fling, flung down the free speech gauntlet and publishedthe material in a new magazine called “The Sacred Cow”, the“Cow”, of course, characterizing the faculty. Fling was ex¬pelled from the College as a menace to civilization.The Daily Maroon is glad that the University of Chicago en¬courages rather than suppresses the art of thinking. The Maroonis no believer in revolt for the mere sake of revolting. Neitheris it out of sympathy with the administraton. But it believesthat good universities should look with kindly eye on young criti¬cism. The bright red holocausts of criticism which the Flingsbuild around the things they know are only sparks in the wholeflashing world of thought but they are hopeful signs of life in thenew generation. In BriefBy Dexter W. MastersSamuel Insull and Robert Crowe,who saw fit to discharge one or twoquestions during their appearance be¬fore the senate campaigns fund com¬mittee last summer, will have the op¬portunity of making up the omissionnext Monday. They have been sum¬moned to appear before that commit¬tee concerning, as before, the Illinoisprimary investigation and will be re¬ferred to the senate for contempt ifthey still refuse to answer anyquestion thrust at them.The senate bases its power oftreating the men for contempt on theassumption that Frank L. Smith,recently refused admission to thesenate although the senator designatefrom Illinois, could not have beenelected without their help. That isa one-sided case as the senate is thechief proponent of those who accuseInsull and his organization of “put¬ting Smith across” while Smith and’his attorneys constitute the oppositefaction, and they have already beenoutlawed.The committee investigating thisslush affair is making a mistake inpostponing the hearing until Mon¬day. A week should be sufficient toformulate alibis and reasons entirelycapable of withstanding the wither¬ing attacks of the senate’s ableminds.* * ♦President Coolidge’s amicableproposition that the nation’s of theworld bring to an end their navalarmament plans and come to termson a more friendly basis, evidentlymet with only a slight degree offavor. Italy and Japan were out¬spoken in their unwillingness toadopt the idea and England admittedthat it was “receiving consideration.”Most of the powers, it is interest¬ing to note, accept the proposition inregard to its fundamental points butdemur when it comes to the personalapplications. Italy expressed her¬self as perfectly willing to adopt themeasures provided that the smallerMediterranean powers are includedalso; Japan declared that auxiliaryships were vitally essential to herprotection, and England, throughPremier Baldwin, gave no reasoneither for accepting the propositionoi? for disregarding it.The proposal is, of course, merelya restatement of the agreementreached at the Washington con¬ference of 1921, which never attainedany proportions more formidablethan an agreement. And whilePresident Co.olidge’s reiterationbrings it back to mind again, it’s hostile reception shows ratherstrongly that the powers that behaveno great tendency towards thebrotherly-love idea of world manage¬ment.• • tHarold J. Croarkin, the slayer ofWalter Schmith, a six-year old boy,yesterday got well on his way to¬wards entering the traditional pleaof insanity in his trial. The actionsof his attorneys in seeking delays,and cluttering up the normal orderof the trial with a cataloguing ofreasons and circumstances for allow¬ing them, aroused the anger of ChiefJustice Lindsay, but Croarkin waspermitted to be x-rayed in order todetermine his mentality.The trial, at this rather earlydate, has all the appearances of beinga little less of a farce than a greatmany of its contemporary cases,which may be because the crime wasmore outrageous, more a slap in theface of society. But an alienist ortwo, and a few well-placed lettersfrom the Detroit women’s club canchange the tone of the whole affair.Croarkin is far from convicted.* * * *China and Great Britain havebroken all relations, according todispatches received from Shanghailate yesterday afternoon. The reasongiven was that the feelings of thefeelings of the Chinese were hurt byBritish military movements.It seems that the Chinese viewtheir actions towards the foreignersin an entirely different light from theforeigners’ actions towards the Chi¬nese. And thus far, the British andthe Americans have gotten the poorerside of the dealings.Delta Kappa Epsilon announcesthe pledging of Bruce Parker, SanAntonio, Texas, and Frank Detweil-er of Chicago.AN OPPORTUNITYfor amtfitious man and womanto obtain free instruction instage dancing.

Under the auspicesof the Wild Flower Preservation As¬sociation, Miss George has been try¬ing to germinate these and manyother wild flowers artificialy.In her office in the Botany buildingMiss George has the seeds of onehundred species of flowers that shecollected from the estate of Mrs. C.L. Hutchinson at Lake Geneva whichwas recently given over to the stateof Wisconsin for the use of studentsof botany and nature.First these seeds are washed anddried. Then they are placed in asmall oven that is kept moist and atan even temperature. They are puton pieces of blotter or in small dishesin the trays of the oven.Often the seeds will grow underthese ordinary conditions, but if theydo not other more difficult tests areapplied.

Libel suits arepending against the last publication. By Fred HandschyLast year it was “Where Are WeGoing?”; this year it’s “Here WeAre”—the second title seems almostconclusive. However, be that as itmay, it was a good show, and what’smore a representative and a typicalshow.In any sort of spectacle, whetherit’s “The Shanghai Gesture,” or themore aethetic theme developed byDexter Masters, there are spots. Talkabout the leopard—the theater isfull of them. What one of us hadnot heard, or even said (we whoare still unsophisticated enough toblush must, when we admit)’ “Itwas awfully good in spots” or, “ithad its weak spots”—which, howeverindirect, is straight praise, becausespots are as essential to a good showas they are to good leopard.“Autumn Quarter Nigh”The highest spot of all, it se'em-ed to me, was the item called “AnAutumn Quater Night”.

J. SteihThe world won’t come to an endthis year anyway.After three years of laboratoryresearch, in which it was establish¬ed that spectra appearing in certaincomet’s tails are due to ionized car¬bon monoxide, Professor Harvey B.Lemon of the Physics department an-nounces that the stage is set forfinal tests at Yerkes observatory,next June, when the famous Pons-Winnecke comet will appear at therelatively near distance of four anda half million miles from the earth.Professor Lemon, in these obser¬vations, will be attempting to deter¬mine if these spectra of ionized car¬bon monoxide are present in the tailof this comet, the same as in theDaniels and Morehouse comets.Traces of this deadly gas in thetails of these two heavenly bodieshave already been found. Accordingto Mr. Lemon, however, the cometscontaining these spectra are excep¬tions rather than the general rule.When this comet was visible in1921 many people prepared for theend because of reports that gasesfrom the comet’s tail would wipeout all life on earth. There will beno danger this year, Mr. Lemon de¬clared, “In fact there never hasbeen. Since the pressure of gas isa thousand million times less thanthat in the highest vacuum obtain¬able by modern methods, the automo¬biles on Michigan Avenue make theair there more dangerous than anycomet could.”June has been picked as the timefor the tests since in this month thePons-Winnecke will make the clos*est approach to the earth ever re¬corded for a comet. There is no cer-tainity, however, if the pictures willbe a success or not. “It may turn outto be nothing more than a blur,”declared Professor Lemon. “But wehave great hopes that in the com¬parison of this photo with others,it will be clear enough to be able todiscover similar spectra in both theDaniels and the Pons-Winnecke.”Professor Lemon has been as¬sociated in part of the work by Mr.H. K. Bobrivnikoff, a fellow of theUniversity, who has been workingon general problems at Yerkes.

FAILURE OF COLLEGELIFE ATTRIBUTED BYMASON TO GREEKSMen Do Not Enjoy Dramaand Adventure ofEducationTARPONERS HARKENTarpon rfour has been changedfrom 12 until 1 on Friday to 4o’clock in the afternoon. Addressing the InterfraternityChicago Association last Friday nightPresident Max Mason declared thatthe fraternities were in part re¬sponsible for college men failing toenjoy the “adventure and drama ofeducation.”By stressing the seeming import¬ance of the undergraduates of“merely getting by in order that hemay be loyal to his fraternity in re¬maining in college,” Dr. Mason point¬ed out that the alumni of the frat¬ernities are preventing college stu¬dents from ever exceeding a pedes¬trian pace in the realm of knowl¬edge.”The fraternities, he added, breedstudents who are facile in the class¬room and are ready in emergencies.This sort of thinking is the vestigeof American pioneer traits, the at¬tributes of the rough and ready fel¬low. However, Mr. Mason went onto say, this sort of facility is not asubstitute for real scholarship, whichis not pedantry, recitation, or marksbut is the “curiosity for the dis¬covery of the facts of life and sci-j ence which can’t be kept down.”I “If a student should buy a bookin a course which he is not takingand should go back to the fraternityroom, read it and think about it, hewould be judged a queer fellow,” Dr.Mason surmised. “And he probablywould be,” he added. “Scholarshiptoday seems to be an affair for theshut-ins and queer fellows.” Green Phi DeltsBlue Over LockupThree silver loving cups from theUniversity of Chicago Phi DeltaTheta house and a lamp from theOrrington hotel, Evanston, weretraced to four Northwestern fresh¬men carrying out an initiation pro¬gram last Friday.The lamp was discovered by thedetective squad after they werenotified by the Orrington hotel man¬agement that four “desperadoes”had invaded the lobby and departedwith a $100 floor lamp. Strangelyenough the squad headed in the di¬rection of the fraternity section,where they discovered the lamp andcups in a car in front of the PhiDelta Theta house.After questioning the youths itwas discovered that the cups werepresented to the Northwestern chap¬ter for homecoming week by theChicago chapter.N.

And, fin¬ally having come to their decision,they said this deep and fundamentalsomething must be phenomenal fresh¬man or what not, and—since the bestteams really try not to have whatnot—it must be phenomenal Fresh¬man.The inquiring reporter soon heardof all this and being ,as he still is,an inquiring reporter and thereforewonderfully and persistently curioushe decided to look into these float¬ing, nascent rumors. He consideredthe past record of the gym team andfound it good—yea, even found itgreat—and so he thought—afterall it must be phenomenal Fresh¬men.Thus he found himself hieing him¬self thither to that nook in Bartlettwhere the gym team is said to workout. And he looked earnestly forphenomenal Freshmen—and not find¬ing any he mistrusted his inexpertgymnastic eye and sate down besidethe coach—-old D. L. Hoffer and puthis question to him. Nay, nay, saidthe doughty D. L., and again may,nary a phenomenal Freshman have Iseen. Rumors have I heard of apromising freshman on campus butthe little darling is keeping himselfin dark hiding. And so after onemore look around, the erring inquir¬ing reporter came back to his oldconviction and heartily said, yeaverily, must be the coach.

In the swimming meetTilden garnered 20 points, Lane 14,and Evanston 10 for first second andthird places respectively. The win¬ners would have had a bigger pointadvantage if they had not been dis¬qualified after taking first place inthe 160 yard relay. Tilden wasruled out for fouling, and Evanstonwas awarded first place.One new record for the meet wasestablished when Tucker of Oak Parkwon the 100 yard back stroke in 1:105-10. The old was 1:11 1-10. Inwinning the race Tucker was pressed by Stevens of Hyde Park, the winnerof the event last year and the cham¬pion 100 yard back stroke swimmerof the city league schools.The final scores for the threehighest teams entered in the seriesof three track meets were: HydePark 114 1-2, Oak Park 105 1-4, andTilden 46 5-6.

P. 21001121 E. 63rd St. To the Editor of the Maroon:Sir:The social, political, athletic andliterary leaders of the campus per¬sist in seeing in the recent rise intuition fees a nefarious plot on thepart of the President and the Boardof Trustees for the eventual aboli¬tion of the colleges. Fraternitieswith an initiation fee of a hundreddollars and more, and social lumin¬aries who fix the price of prom tic¬kets at $7.75, have all suddenlydiscovered that an additional tendollars each quarter will be a crush¬ing burden on the back of the self^supporting student whose welfare isso close to their charitable hearts.All of which is prima facie evidencethat the University is going to thedogs and, of course, the end of thecollege is in sight.Mr. Morgenstern has graciouslypointed out that the tuition fee atthe University of Illinois is only fif¬ty dollars, and that no other westernuniversity is so persistent in its at¬tempts to keep the poor studentsout by hook or crook and particular¬ly by raising the tuition fee, as the[University of Chicago.What nonsense. If the tuition feeat the University is higher than atstate universities it is not proof thatthe recent rise was unwarranted,—it is an argument against privatelyendowed universities. State univer¬sities have an important place in thefield of higher education, but they dorvot and cannot entirely fill the needfor thorough research and under¬graduate education. There is an ef¬ficient, dignified and scholarly wayof doing things and there is such athing as Legislators’ Day and fakereports of phenomenal discoveriesof new fuels.Talk of discrimination againstpoor students is unfair and untrue,and may do much harm. Talk of dis¬crimination against the colleges isnot based on fact. In the past yearthe University has for the first timebrought the outstanding scholars ofthe faculty in contact with the fresh¬man class.—M. B. ’27. CLASSIFIEDFOR SALE—Tuxedo. Size 38.Good condition.
