UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1934 Price Three CentsThe GreeksHave a WordMORRISON-__By HARRYTAU DELTA PHIOne of the lesser lights of theJewish aggregations is the outfit wholive over in the dormitories and eatdormitory food. They have aneagle’s nest high up in Judson Courtand they really seem awfully happyabout the whole thing. It would killme to climb all those stairs everyday. The only consolation seems tobo that you can climb down thestairs, as well. This, I might say, isnot a characteristic of Judson stairs,but of all stairs, and I know becauseI’ve had a lot of experience withstairs, especially back ones.Now that the stairs have been tak¬en over the coals, let us proceed tothe Tau Delts. There are 13 activesin the fraternity. Of this numberthere ist one man on the Maroon, themanaging editor, there is a man onthe Senior Class Council'and mem¬ber of the Interfraternity Council.This seems like a fairly presentablelist but I almost forgot to mentionthat all this belongs to the .-^ame man,Willie Goodstein, and the present¬able activities of the fraternity endwith this list.There are a couple of men inBlackfriars and they have freshmenon the I>aw Review, and also a firstlieutenant in the R. 0.

Their athlete in the house isa member of the swimming and wa¬ter polo team. There is also a mem¬ber out for the varsity pitching staff.There is one good point I noticedthat should not be overlooked in siz¬ing up any fraternity. That was thecomparative abundance of LawSchool members. The conversationat the luncheon table consists almostentirely of whom to get and how toget the best, and sometimes easiestprofessors in the Law School. Thevisitor to the boards of Tau Deltcomes out with his ears ringing withcries of “nisi prius,” “stare decisis,”and “e pluribus unum.” And he alsomanages to pick up a little valuableinformation on how not to fiunk outof the iLaw School.Another bouquet of doubtful vint¬age to the Tau Delts for moving intothe dorms, a move that took rarecourage to do unless it was inducedby the w. k. wolf-at-the-door motiva¬tion. At any rate the Tau Delts saythat they have felt the new Univer¬sity atmosphere and also feel that ahouse is in many cases a drag on theproper fraternity atmosphere ratherthan a help in the unification of areal fraternal group. sors as a ‘great humanitarian, a pioneer in .social legislation.’Burt Against Horner Methods“His record after one year in of- jfice is the mo.st emphatic denial of jthe.se statements.

There is one chapter in Can¬ada. On the sheet they gave me con¬taining the material for this write¬up they practically insisted that “allour chapters are strong, due to avery strong and active national or¬ganization.” This is not to be con¬fused with some 22 other statementsof a like nature I have received dur¬ing the last few months.Goodstein says, “We’ve decided tolet the University do our financialworrying for us.” The assembledbrothers .said, “Hurrah.” And nowthey live in the dorms.

Professor William D. MacMil¬lan makes this computation on thebasis of the latest reseaf($ies of Dr.Edwin P. Hubble, astronomer at theMt. Wilson Observatory, California.Reporting results of th^most ex¬tensive survey so far made of theextra-galactic nebulae—the so-called“island universes” far fiung beyondthe bounds of our own Milky Way—Dr. Hubble finds that these nebulaeappear to^ be distributed fairly even¬ly over the sky and in depth.Dr. Hubble reports in the Januaryissue of the Astro-physical Journal,just published by the UniversityPress. His conclusions are drawnfrom counts of nebulae appearing on1,283 photogral»hs recently takenwith the 60-inch and 100-inch tele¬scopes at Mt. Wilson. These photo¬graphs, a sampling covering 2% ofthe three-quarters of the sky which is observable at Mt. Wilson, and ex¬posed down to the 20th photographicmagnitude, show approximately 44,-000 nebulae.Pi’ofessor MacMillan pointed outyesterday that, assuming even distri¬bution, the total number of nebulaewithin 20 photographic magnitudes,a sphere with a radius of about300,000,000 light years, would beabout 76,000,000. Each of these neb¬ulae is believed to be a star-systemsimilar to our local Milky Way,which in itself contains a billion-plusstars.Assuniing that Dr. ^ Hubble’s sam¬ple is representative,’ if every par¬ticle wew distributeid evenly therewould be one gram (the weight of acubic centimeter of water) for everycube of space 62,600 miles on edge,or one molecule for each 10,000,000cubic centimeters. Each moleculewould be about 86 inches from itsneighbor.Dr. Hubble was a student of Pro¬fessor MacMillan at the University.

However,there will be no set program of ac¬tivities.No Formal RushingThe Delts will not engage In form¬al rushing this year. Instead cart$fully selected men will be added tothe group from time to time whohold the same interests in Universityactivities as the original members.“We wish to relieve ourselves ofthe financial burden so that therewill be no pressure within the groupto include in membership any manwho will not be truly congenial withthe other members of the group,”Greenleaf said. “Tfhus we believethat the original goal of fraternitiesmay again be realized in a group ofmen that are held together wholelybecause of their common interests.”The only dues will be $2 a monthfor the national organization. Thisgroup, which includes 75 chapters, isbehind the move solidly.The Delts feel that the period oferecting luxurious houses in compe-ition with other fraternities is at anend.

Inaddition to his teaching, he findstime to give numerous lecturesthroughout the country. He is nowon an extended lecture tour. The enormous expansion rate ofsmall-loan operation during the pastfifteen years is not likely to recur,even with a return of prosperity, inthe opinion of Rolf Nugent of theRussell Sage Foundation, who has re¬cently completed a study.Writing in the current issue ofthe Journal of Business, publishedby the University, Mr. Nugent estim¬ates that the total amount of out¬standing debts owed to licensedsmall loan operators, under regula¬tory small loan statutes, was $258,-000,000 at the close of 1932. He es¬timates that 2,066,000 persons outof 9,371,000 potential customerswere borrowing from licensed lendi-ers at that time.“From 1915 to 1930 the averagerate of growth of this type of debtwas approximately 20 per cent ayear, compounded annually,” hesays. “From 1920 to 1930 the rateof growth approximated 25 per centcompounded annually. In 1931 the rate declined severely, and in 1932there was a decrease in the amountoutstanding for the year.“At the close of the third quarterof 1933, reporting loan companiesshowed further sizeable decreases inoutstanding loans. It is obvious, how¬ever, that small-loan debt shows notendency to be liquidated by depres¬sion at the rate that brokers’ loans,for instance, were liquidated withthe bursting of the ‘new era’ bubble.“Analysis of the curves of growththemselves suggests that the formerrate of growth will not recur. Inmany large cities the rate of growthhad begun to decline perceptibly by1927. It was the rapid extension ofsmall-loan service to still smallertowns which maintained the highrate of growth from 1927 to 1930.This form of expansion was similarto that resulting from the extensionof regulatory laws to additionalstates. It had definite practical lim¬its which were evidently reached in1931.”Page Two \THE daily/maroon, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30. 1934Satlg HarnotiFOUNDED IN 1901The Dftily Mvoon ia the official atudent newspaper of theUniversity of Cbicaro. publiiiied mornines except Saturday,Sunday, and Monday durinfc the autumn, winter, and aprinRquarters by The Daily Ms'-oon Company, S831 University avenue.Subscription rates: $2.60 a year; $4.00 by mail.

KeithNight Editor: Tom BartonAssistant: Curtis MelnickTuesday, January 30, 1934 should be easier to establish a connection in thestudent’s mind between experience and ideas thanbetween experience and the sort of facts that makeup most of the material taught in the four Sur¬vey Courses.Second, significant experiences owe fully asmuch to ideas as they do to facts. Two men, onea botanist and the other a poet, may observe thesame bed of flowers, but when the latter comesto describe his experience, he will write a poemto “The Daffodils," while the former will writea learned monograph on “Perianthal Variations inN. pseudo-narcissus.” Both experiences will startfrom the same sensory data, and both will begenuine experiences. But they will neverthelessbe as different as night and day. Why? Be¬cause the ideas and interests of the two observersare different. It argues a most unsophisticatedunderstanding of the nature of experience to treatit as synonymous with facts. Experience of the7ort that has any educative value for college stu¬dents presupposes not only the occurrence of rawacts but also the prior existence of ideas whichcan interpret those facts to the conscious mind. AN OPEN LETTER TOFRATERNITY MEN jHaving been called upon by the jFreshman Class to make a statement}on behalf of the fraternities concern- iing “Rushee Etiquette” we probably !should first confess that we know 'little more about the subject thanthe freshmen do.Etiquette, we understand from au¬thoritative sources, is the system ofconventional forms required to beobserved in official or private lifeand is the outgrowth of folkways,mores and customs developedthrough tradition. The system of de¬ferred rushing now in force at theUniversity is at best in a very form¬ative stage and as a result we havelittle or no tradition upon which to toward some limitation of the housesthat they are considering rather thanto accept all invitations without dis¬crimination according to individualtastes.To allow some opportunity forelimination, the institution of the“Open House” has been provided. Inthis case we urge that freshmen visit[ all the houses in which they are pos¬sibly or might be interested. “OpenHouse” is understood by the fratern¬ities as an opportunity in which anyfreshman may visit any house. It isunderstood that every fraternity hasinvited every freshman and thatevery freshman is entirely welcometo go wherever he may so desire.This we wish to emphasize becauseof the apparent misunderstanding onthe parts of many of the freshmenthat a particular invitation must begiven them by a particular house be¬fore they visit that house.We hope that this message has been of some value. The essence ofit is, as is the essence of any adviceon etiquette, the excersitation ofnormal individual judgment.Interfrat«rnity Committee,DREXEL theatreR.

J. K.FACTS ABOUTMAROON IDEASIt was the writer's good fortune to be presentlast Wednesday at the meeting of the Social Sci¬ence Parliament at which the educational theoriesof the Editor-in-Chief were under discussion.Amazement does not adequately describe hisopinion of the high intellectual level on whichthe controversy was conducted.If future sessions of this organization continueas brilliant and stimulating as the last, it seemsnot at all whimsical to predict that the time maycome, should the University ever become official¬ly aware how these keen-minded undergraduatesare stealing the professors' thunder, when allclasses on the campus will resolve themselves into“committees of the whole,” and go in at last forsome real education. It was one of the most en¬couraging signs this writer, at least, had seen ofwhat may be accomplished by the discussion-method of instruction.The intellectual tone of the discussion sufferedfrom only one controversial weakness, and that aweakness by no means rare in the parliaments ofmore learned controversialists. We refer to thetendency of one side—in this case, that of theopposition—to set up straw opponents for thesake of scoring an easy victory. Repeatedly, themain speaker had to insist that he did not ques¬tion the final dependence of "ideas” upon "facts,”and yet with the most disconcerting persistency theopposition speakers rushed back to the encounterwith the totally irrelevant objection that the ex¬istence of “ideas” must presuppose the existenceof “facts.’*Of course it must. That’s what the speakersaid. Why waste time arguing over and overagain for something that was never denied?1 he real point at issue in the discussion, if wemay be allowed to presume a somewhat clearergrasp of Mr. Barden s meaning than he seems tohave succeeded in conveying to many of his lis¬teners. concerns the comparative value of “facts ”and “ideas in the acquisition of a general edu¬cation. such as it is the declared purpose of theCollege to give under the present system.Now the objections to placing the emphasisupon facts may be summed up under twogeneral heads:First, the facts that are taught in the Intro¬ductory Survey Courses are, for the most part,no more derived from the individual student’sexperience than are the ideas which these samecourses have to offer. Indeed, who but a pedantwill deny that the ideas of justice, beauty, truthand goodness, to be learned from a study ofPlato are far more directly related to the averagestudent’s experience—and therefore more genu-inely educative—than any of the facts about Stel¬la- »nect-oscopy. for instance?

Five games were runaway af¬fairs while the other two were tight.All three contests in the Kappaleague were played with the Ma¬roons, Hoffer’s Reds, and the Bur¬ette and Balance outfit emerging vic¬torious. The Maroons featuring Ad-die Carr who sank ten baskets, de¬feated the Triple X’s, 34 to 20. Fauk-enberg was the losers’ mainstay,contributing 13 points to the TripleX’s tout TIn a well played tussle, Hoffer’sReds conquered the Optimists 20 to12. As both teams were undefeated,the game probably decided the cham¬pionship of the ’ Kappa division.Swanson was the winners’ high pointman, making 10 markers. The firsthalf of the game ended with the Op¬timists leading, 7 to 6. In the .secondperiod the teams kept the score closeuntil the Reds rallied to come out ontop.The Burette and Balance teamwithstood a late rally by the Ramb¬lers to win a close battle, 16 to 14.In the Sigma group, the Palateersforfeited to the Band, while boththe Chiselers and the U-High Panth¬ers vanquished their opponents easi¬ly. Displaying a strong attack, therhi.seler.'^, led by Peterson with 17points, walloped the Independents,10 to 14.

A. li. Price, polo coach, express¬ed himself as mo.st pleased with theWason-Icke.s-Benson trio, whichworked in the fourth chukker, buthas not definitely decided on thestarting lineup for the Iowa gamenext Saturday. With the exceptionof Tommy Wason, however, none ofthe players received much praisefrom the coach.The Blues started out with a bang,scoring three goals right off the bat,but the Maroons managed to creepup to within one of a tie at the endof the first chukker on markers byHepple and Ben.son. Then Ickes, whohad to play with a heavy nose guardclenched betw’een his teeth, whichprobably affected his vision, wasyanked in favor of Wason at No.1 position.Ickes Scores TwiceI The second chukker was all Blackj Horse Troop, Strauss and Hubert, counting twice, and Tommy Ander-i son once, while Hepple pushed in aI lone tally for the Maroons. This wasi partly nullified, however, when ahalf-point was deducted for Wason’sfoul.I Ickes went in again at the startof the third chukker. Wason movingback to No. 3, and Benson watchingthe contest from the box seats. Ickesj promptly scored two goals, Wasonand Hepple scoring one each, whileDoc Hubert counted twice and An- Gagers Drop Fourth BigTen Contest to MinnesotaBill Haarlow Injured inGopher 36-18VictoryBill Haarlow suffered a brok¬en toe in the preliminary warm¬up before the Minnesota gamelast night when he bumped intoa backboard platform. Afterplaying in the first few minutes,he was forced to leave thegame.Due mainly to the loss of the in¬jured Bill Haarlow’, the Marooncagers lost their fourth Big Tengame last night to the rejuvenatedGophers, 36 to 18. The defeat sentthe local boys into the Conferencecellar, while the Gophers attaineda .500 rating which was good enoughto elevate them to a fourth place tiewith Indiana.Despite the absence of the starsophomore the Maroons, in a greatstand, managed to hold the Gophersto a tie at the end of the first half.Four baskets by Chicago outscoredMinnesota’s total of three, but theGophers hooped three free throws tothe Maroons’ one, knotting the countat 9 markers apiece.An entirely new line-up in the second half put new life into theGopher representatives, who ran wildwith eleven buckets and five charitytosses, putting the game on ice. Thebest the Maroons could do in theconcluding half was to duplicate thefirst period’s total of four baskets inaddition to three free throws.High scoring honors for the gamewent to Norman, the Minnesota cen¬ter, with four baskets and a freethrow, and Svendsen, Gopher guard,who tied with two goals and 5 pen¬alty shots. As usual sharp-shootingBill Lang, scrappy Maroon guard,who has either been |igh point manor runner-up in nearly all of thegames played to date, gained the lo¬cal scoring honors with three bask¬ets and a free throw. Tom Flynn,i who took Haarlow’s place was run¬ner-up with four points on one J)uck-ets and 2 free shots. MAROON OYM TEAMWINS EVERY EVENTTO BEAT WILLIAMSChicago 34; Wheaton 23derson once for the Blues. Fouls byIckes and .Anderson erased a half¬point from each side.Then in the fourth chukker, Hep¬ple was given a rest, Wason movedto No, 1, Ickes back to 2, and BruceBenson went in again at 3. Ickescounted twice and Benson and Wa¬son once each, but two fouls by Ben¬son brought the total score down to9 for the game. The Blues also madefoui- goals, three by Hubert and oneby .Anderson, but Anderson fouledtwice and Dick Strauss once, to cuttheir total to 13. Chicago won a slow, sloppy bask¬etball game from Wheaton collegeSaturday at the fieldhouse, 34 to 23.The sharp shooting of Haarlow andLang plus the guarding of Oppen-heim were the only redeemable fea¬tures of the combat.The visitors employed a slow-breaking offense which was unsuc¬cessful in penetrating the Maroon de-[ fense. Three times, however, theI Chicago defense lapsed to allowj Wheatonites to take short shots un-i molested by a Maroon. The longI range shooting of Gray, Glover, andI Bass was the main factor in Whea-, ton’s offense.The Bills, AgainThe Maroons did not display muchteamwork and their pivot line play¬ing was not very effective. Leo Op-penheim guarded sensationally andin addition contributed seven points Exhibiting good form for an earlyseason meet, the Maroon gymnasticteam swamped the George Williamscollege squad in Saturday’s meet.Chicago landed the first three placesin every event, but the score, on thesystem which grades every contest¬ant from one to fifteen points was1142.5 to 748.75.Williams College was not rated asa set up for the Maroons. The squadhad most of their last year’s regularsback, and recently succeeded in out¬pointing Northwestern in a meet. Al¬though the Maroons were not per¬fect, they showed steadiness in mostevents, their weakest point being thehorizontal bars event. According toCoacH Dan Hoffer, they hope to over¬come this trouble through hard workand practice.The place winners, in respectiveorder, follow: Horizontal bars—Wrighte, Hanley, and Fair; sidehorse—Wrighte, Hanley, and Schnei¬der; flying rings—Adams, Wrighte,and Constantine; parallel bars—Wrighte, Murphy, and Constantine;tumbling—Nordhaus, Wrighte, andConstantine.All of the men are in good condi¬tion, except for Captain GeorgeWrighte, conference all around cham¬pion, who has been handicapped byan injured knee.to the Chicago score. As usual, thetwo Bills, Haarlow and Lang, werethe high point men. Haarlow madefour baskets and four free throws,while Lang sank four longs and afoul shot.Play in the first half was fairlyeven, Chicago leading at tJfe end ofthis period, 11 to 7. In the finalperiod, the Maroons drew away fromtheir opponents, and maintained acomfortable margin until the end ofthe game.THIRD YEAR STUDENTSPlease cooperate in filling out the Daily MaroonGrade Survey Questionnaire — if you have lostor misplaced your blank you can secure a newone by calling at the Maroon Office.Deadline Is Thursday NoonSEND ALL QUESTIONNAIRES TO THE DAILY MAROONFACULTY EXCHANGEOON.
