THURSDAY, APRIL 19. 1934 Price Three Centssweetnessand lightbycharlet tyroler and harry kalvenfree, yellow, andTWENTY-ONEWe have always suspected thatfreedom of the press might perhapshave less existence in America thanin a rigid dictatorship such as Mus¬solini exercises in Italy. Recentlythrough a very authentic though an¬onymous source we heard the follow¬ing significant item about that greatliberalist, William Randolph Hearst.Mr. Hearst has the habit of sendingout instructions to his editors allover the country several times eachweek. Included in the last batch wasthe following advice: “In the futurewhen referring to the bills beforeCongres.c to raise the income and in¬heritance taxes, do not speak ofthem as ‘soak the rich’ legislation.Refer to them only as ‘soak thethrifty’ measures. The former termis liable to evoke some sympathy forthe measures from the reading pub¬lic.”THE PRESIDENT SAYS—.All of which reminds us that wehave an even more significant itemabout the local upholder of studentopinion. Mr. Barden. We have thisinformation from another anonym¬ous. though not quite so authentic,source. Mr. Hutchin.s too has thehabit of sending out instructions tohis editor several times each week.Included in the next batch is the fol¬lowing advice: “Mr. Barden: In allfuture discussions will you pleaserefrain from dogmatically .statingthat two and two equals four. Someof our readers, especially those con¬nected with the Social Science de¬partment have taken exception to sopositive a statement. After all, Mr.Schuman is a member of the faculty,too. Also, please be more discreetin your use of the proposition thatman is a rational animal; in the fu¬ture it would be wiser merely to saythat man is an animal. And final¬ly don’t use the word education inconnection with the word univer¬sity quite so often. People are liableto begin associating the two. May¬nard.”MAYBE THE WORST OF WARIS ITS LYRIC BEAUTYIn his recent sermon Dr. HarryEmerson Fosdick vigorously de¬nounced war of any sort. Mr. Fos-1dick was especially bitter about menlike Scott and Macaulay who stayedhome in armchairs and wrote of theglory of war. While we are heartily in sympathy with any attempt totienude war of the last bit of itsglamor, somehow we can’t quite sup¬press the feeling that the exampleDr. Fosdick gave of the lyric beautyof war was a bit unfortunate. Thelines are from Scott’s Marmion:“Chnr ge, Checter, charge. On,Stanley, on.”Were the last words of Marmion.We know it’s wicked of us, butwe feel that any soldier who becamearoused about the beauty of warfrom reading those lines is better offdead anyway.GREEKS AND IDEALSSome inter-greek group has cometo the fore with an idealistic pro-I>osal for the unification of fraterni¬ties and mutual co-operation within.Fraternity men are, as a group, al¬ready well acquainted with the plan.We have no fault to find with the^’tated aims and ideals of the planfrom the viewpoint of an impartialobserver; but we fail to see wherethe measures, particularly that ofspending five thousand dollars tomaintain an office and a full timesupervisor of fraternities, will be ofdirect benefit.Fraternity men have become oflate a very practical group. Theyhave been forced through the exi¬gencies of present day conditions, tospend their money purposefully.Therefore, we feel that fraternitiesare not justified in authorizing theexpenditure of money other than ina manner which will directly benefitthem in a practical way. We havebecome cynical enough of pan-hel-lenic associations to believe that eachfraternity will nevertheless and in¬evitably join the group with enoughof the natural spirit of competitionto defeat the “harmony” ideal aspir¬ed to by the plan. Pardon us ourPro-fratemity attitude when we saythat competition is the prod thatspurs fraternities and their members Ion to greater accomplishments. Kill,that and you kill fraternities! I TWO-DAY PEACEMEETING OPENSTOMORROW NIGHTBegin with Symposium;Hold DiscussionSaturdayThe program for the two-day con¬ference which will be sponsored bythe United Anti-war association thisweek-end in Mandel hall will be di¬vided into a symposium tomorrownight and discussion on four topicsSaturday.The conference will provide stu¬dents with an opportunity to hearpresentations of the anti-war atti¬tudes of .several noted speakers whowill represent various radical groups.Students will also have an opportun¬ity to offer their own view-points atthe Saturday discussion groups.At the symposium, Rosika Schwim-mer, noted pacifist who was refusedUnited States citizenship because ofher declared pacifist sympathies;Tucker Smith, socialist leader of theBrookwood labor college; HerbertNewton, communist; and TheodoreHume, internationalist, will speak.Divide Diccuttion Group*The discussion groups will be di¬vided into four .sections on: interna¬tional peace machinery; h’a.sci.sm andwar; methods of opposition to war;and world policies of the SovietUnion.One of the reasons which the Unit¬ed Anti-war Association cited forcallig the conference is that “stu¬dents must organize to make actualthe potential influence which theypo.ssess against war.” Students whowish to become delegates to the pi "-ley are asked to obtain a delegate’scredential blank at the informationdesk of the office of the Bursar.Present ResolutionsThe conference will be concludedwith the presentation of resolutionsfor adoption by the delegates. A per¬manent committee will then be elect¬ed to further anti-war activities onthe campus.I^ast week the United Anti-Warassociation sponsored a four-foldcampaign against war which includ¬ed a parade, a symposium, and a twoday conference, Robert M, Lovett,professor of English at the Univer¬sity, Louis Gottschalk, associate pro¬fessor of Hitory, and Quincy Wright,professor of International Relationsat the University presented theirviews in the public symposium.Such anti-war demonstration.s arecountry wide in their appearance.Vassar college and Oberlin college inOhio are two of those protesting warin demon.strations last week. Beware! D. A.Goes Gunningfor New PropsHave you a little ctfnnon in yourhome? Somewhere in your attic orspare room is there an old gun thatgrandpa tossed away when he cameback from the Civil War?Members of the Dramatic Associa¬tion production department are busi¬ly canvassing the neighborhood insearch of a brass field piece for usein the presentation of AugustusThomas’ “Alabama” April 25. Thusfar all they have been able to col¬lect is a broken down machine gunand two pieces from a French .75.The local R. O. T. C. has been triedbut despite opinion to the contrary,the equipment goes back only to theWorld War.The sad part of it all is that near¬ly every town in America has somesort of derelict gun in front of itscourt house that might be filched,except Chicago. Since “Alabama” isone of the realistic local color playsof the nineties to gain the best ef¬fects the scenery must be reproduc¬ed exactly.Anyone who has an old gun ofthe period is asked to get in touchwith Gifford Mast in the TowerRoom in Mitchell Tower any after¬noon this w'eek. The cannon neednot be in good condition as the playrequires a “dismantled brass fieldpiece.” Since the turning point of“Alabama” hinges on this old gun itsacquisition is vital to an accuratepresentation.

Hej prided himself, in fact, on beingI somewhat of an amateur of liter-I ature and music; and it should notbe forgotten that his father changedhis major interest from flute-playingto statesmanship only after a longand bitter contest of wills.Rewarded MusicianEven after he succeeded to thethrone Frederick’s interest in musicremained strong. Although never giv¬en to excessive gratitude of warm¬heartedness, he yet rewarded Joach¬im Quantz, the musician who hadtaught him to play the flute, with anhonorary position in his court, to¬gether with the unique privilege ofspeaking his mind to the king when¬ever he so desired—a privilege whichQuantz exploited to the utmost.The symphony which will beheard Sunday evening, as well assome 120 other compositions by theeccentric monatrch, was discoveredin manuscript in Berlin in 1835. It isin D major, and has three move¬ments. Like all of Frederick’s com¬positions, it is built around themeswhich came to mind during his reg¬ular promenades in and about thepalace at Potsdam, set down andelaborated at leisure in his study.As a whole, the symphony is an in¬teresting piece, and well worth hear¬ing. James W. YoungAppointed Chairmanof Indian CommitteeJames W. Young, professor ofBusines.s History and .Advertising,has been appointed chairman of com¬mittee on Indian arts and crafts byHarold L. Ickes, Secretary of theDepartment of Interior. ProfessorYoung is out of residence this quar¬ter so that he can give his full timeto this work.The committee on Indian arts andcrafts is a semi-governmental bodyof the Bureau of Indian Affairs whichis part of the Department of the In¬terior. The purpose of ProfessorYoung’s committee is to pi'omotepublic interest in Indian handicraft,develop outlets for their sale, andestablish market identification forgenuine articles of such handicraft.Professor Young has long been inter¬ested in this problem and is well ac¬quainted with many of the Indiansof the Southwest.Another member of the School ofBusiness faculty, Willard J. Graham,assistant professor of Accounting,has been engaged in activities whichcarry him outside the class room.He has written a book, “Valuationand Depreciation in Public UtilityRate Making,” which is being re¬leased soon by the University Press. Plans were made at a meeting ofa committee of the Jewish StudentsFoundation yesterday for a series ofinformal discussions on the worksand significance of Ludwig Lewisohn,outstanding Jewish writer, with theparticular view to his expression andcontribution to Jewish spirit.The group, led by Mr. Ernest Sam¬uels, former student at the Univer¬sity, intends to use as the focalpoints of discussion some of Mr.Lewisohn’s well known novels andcritical essays such as “Upstream,”“The Island Within,” and “The Cre¬ative Life.” Other of his outstand¬ing works will also be taken up. Thefirst half hour will be in the natureof an informal lecture by Mr. Sam¬uels, and the latter part of hour willbe conducted as an open forum.Anyone interested in these discus¬sions is invited by the Foundation tocome to the first meeting, which willbe held Wednesday, April 25, in So¬cial Science 106 at 4:30.

OGBURNIt is an old saying that a nationis no gp'eater than its mothers. Oldalso is the adage that the farmersare the backbone of the nation.There are no two more significantgroups for a people than its farmersand its women.Yet all is not well with the Amer¬ican farmer. The declining value ofhis farm land tells the story of dis¬appearing markets. With productionstimulated to feed a fighting world,the farmers were not able to curtailproduction when soldiers turnedfrom the gun to the plow and whentariff barriers and unstable moneybroke down foreign trade. The de¬pression for farmers has been onsince 1921. The problem is to adjustproduction to markets, which fac¬tories in cities do more easily.Power Age Spreads to FarmsThe great changes on the farmsare due, however, to the use of pow¬er driven machinery. What the trac¬tor and the motor driven combinehave done for wheat farming, the i gasoline com harvester and the cot¬ton picking machine will do for thecorn and cotton belts. The powerage has up until now been confinedto the cities; now it spreads to thefarms, because gas and electricityhave been added to steam. Onefarmer can now feed 18 persons;soon he will feed 25 or 30. Thenwhat will we do with the surplusfarmers?One half the people are female.But steam has taken most of their(Continued on page 3)SET DEADUNE FORBAR NOMINATIONSThe deadline for filing petitionsnominating candidates for offices ofthe Bar Association has been set at4 itomoprrow, accoO’ding to an an¬nouncement made yesterday by MissMuir, secretary to the Dean of theLaw school.

KeithMartin Gardiner Sidney Hyman Georg MannNight Editor: William W. WatsonThursday, April 19, 1934THESESIN THE RAW!“Community of scholars ’ is a glorified phraseused by complimentary people as a term of ex¬treme courtesy to describe certain universities inthis country. That it remains a term of flatteringpraise, not cold actuality, rests in the connotationof the word, “scholar .A real scholar is a person who has some knowl¬edge of the highest intellectual possibilities of man,which implies a breadth of understanding unsur¬passed by any other group of individuals.The University has, among other amalgamationsof interests, a small community of scholars. Onerequirement of this group of scholars is that eachshall make least one original contribution tothe knowledge of mankind.Without being too sanguine, one might sup¬pose that members of this small local communityat the University would avail themselves of thisopportunity to reveal breadth of understandingand completeness of knowledge.But insignificant details about inconsequentialsubjects were what we found in “Abstracts ofTheses, Humanistic Series”, published by the Uni¬versity Press, March, 1934.One truly illuminating discourse is entitled “AStudy of the Musical Talent of Chinese ChildrenAttending Public Schools in Chicago”, which con¬tributes an astounding conclusion that Chinesechildren possess the same kind of musical talentas non-Chinese children from the same environ¬ment.Another remarkable contribution to the field ofeducation describes in glowing terms, “Discrim¬ination Difficulties in the learning of Tense Formsof Irregular Verbs and the Case Forms of Pro¬nouns”.On the heels of this follows a stirring accountof another broad field of activity: “ExperimentalInvestigation of Eye Movements in Learning toSpell Words”.Then, of course, there was the inevitable “Ef¬fect of Weather and Price on the Production ofCorn and Potatoes.” Harmless and doubtlessuseful is that bit of practical information, veryfitting as a report of the United States Depart¬ment of A^culture, and very grotesque as acontribution to the knowledge of the world.The history department produced ”A Study ofSocial Regulations in England under James 1 andCharles 1: Drink and Tobacco”. We suspect thatuniversity reputations probably are not built onsuch contributions to thought. .Another thesis was called, “Use of GreekWords in Roman Satire”. We select with carea typical bit of information from this offering:Persius, Rornart' satirist, used one authentic Greekword to every seven and one seventh lines, bas¬ing this calculation on the total number of linesPersius ever wrote.We shudder to think of the bitter sting ofPersius satire, could he have lived to have sur¬veyed these researches upon his work! The Travelling BazaarBy MILT OLINFRED MILLETT ON MOTIVATIONNow get it straight: Fred Millett is our friend,and the only reason that crack about the fellow heflunked and later praised went into yesterday’sBazaar was just for fun, but Mr. Millettis a wee bit afraid that the person in¬volved in the story might have misinter¬preted the case, so, inasmuch as this is theMillett issue of the Daily Maroon, we feel thatthe public and the person involved are entitledto read the following statement to this depart¬ment from Mr. Millett:There was absolutely nothing devious in mymotivation in grading his examinations. The factsare perfectly simple, (1) His first examinationindicated with unquestionable clarity that heknew little or nothing about the course. (2) Hissecond examination indicated that he had a first-rate knowledge of the course. If any personalcomment is needed, I can only say that I regrethis earlier state of mind, and felicitate him on hislater state of mind."Imagine that puts the facts rather clearly andsimply, wouldn’t you say?

Wedo not propose to laugh such effort down, evenif we could.What we want to know are answers to thesequestions:Are such efforts the function of real scholars?Are these contributions really adding anythingbut confusion to knowledge?Are academic' reputations of universities builton such work?If your answer to these queries is “Yes”, wehope you are wrong.Education of scholars, we believe, is the train¬ing of intellectual leaders, permanent contributorsto the world’s thought, and far-visioned studenUwho can judge the possibilities of potentially ra¬tional mankind.Our contention is that even those who enterrealms of higher learning to achieve the purposeof scholars have little chance to aim at that pur¬pose while attending the University. >.Yet the University is not narrowing except inits separate departments. It is inconceivable thatanyone with six or eight years of experience herecan write minute theses on minute subjects with¬out realizing that such miniature contributions toknowledge are almost imperceptible.We can almost imagine the writers writing themwith tongue in cheek, chuckling in a very lowtone at a tradition of raw empiricism which de¬mands that they be so restricted.—J.

Although this type of thedance is by no means neglected intheir extensive repertoire, the danc¬ers are equally proficient and evenmore appealing in the exquisite buf¬foonery of such a piece as “LesMatelots” which had its Chicagopremiere Monday night.“Les Matelots” is the very e.s-sence of bubbling humor, but it is ahumor which is never obviou.s. Thenicest subtlety is maintained in thisand all the other ballets presented by ;the corps. Much is expressed, but ithere is still more to be guessed andimagined. It is fantastic, of course,but with a fantasy, like that of fairy jtales, wholly captivating and, for the (moment, not in the least incredible.As interpreted by the members of _the Ballet Russe, the dance takes itsplace without qualification among .the higher arts. Like a beautifulpainting, it has beauty of line andcolor; like a symphony it has gran¬deur and deep emotional appeal. Butit has something these forms of artcannot attain—the beauty of mo- Ition, swift, controlled, breathtakingmotion. Like the sure strokes of anartist, the movements of the dance ■build up by degrees the total im- ,pression—perfect in its complete- Iness, complete in its perfection. jThe dancing itself is a joy to see, !but the costume.s and novel settings jheighten its effectiveness, h^or ex- 'ample, the costumes in “Los Pres-age.s,” which is interpreted to themusic of Tschaikowsky’s magnificentFifth Symphony, are .startling and iwildly imaginative. There is no re- [gard for color harmonies, but the ef¬fect is not discordant but strangelypleasing. The vivid colors accentu¬ate the restless motion of the danceand bring out anew all of its wildfervor.One would have to see every per- ■formance of the Ballet Russe, notonce but many times, to feel that it !is completely understood. A singleperformance leaves one with an im¬pression like that of a dream. Itsbrilliant colors and exciting effect ic;innot be held, nor can all its fleet- 1ing beauty be retained.REVEAL RESULTSOF SURVEY OFFARM SITUATIONi(Continued from page 1)work away from them and put it inthe factory, office, and store. Soevery decskde more married womenare following their work out of thehome. Perhaps soon, one in everythree or four married women willbe employed outside the home. Withwhat effect on home life? Certainlya raised material standard of living.With shorter hours married womenmay see much of the home also.At the .same time the averagehousehold is getting smaller; now itis only four persons. Will the chil¬dren with few brothers and sistershave better personalities than tho.sewho grew up in large families?More women are going into publiclife also, though their numbers aresmall. Still there is a woman in thecabinet and a federal judge who is awoman.Divorces have been on the in¬crease, but during the past few yearsthey declined 25 per cent. This isextraordinary. Divorces declined in1921 and in other depressions. Forsome unknown reason . marriedcouples don’t get so many divorcesin hard times. Are they happier?Yet there are more homes thanever, despite divorces, women inpolitics, and employment outside thehomes. There are larger percentagesof the population married now thanat any time since we have kept rec- jords. IWomen and farmers are adjusting jthemselves to steam, gas and elec-tricity.

C. A. A. track andfield meet June 22, 23. Howeverthere are certain restrictions beforea track man can partake of this“gravy.” In order to eliminate sec-jond-rate athletes from the meet, cer¬tain standards have been set up withwhich entries must comply beforethey are eligible for expense money.Here are the necessary^ marks:100-yard dash—9.7 seconds.220-yard dash—21.3 seconds.440-yard dash—48.9 seconds.880-yard run—1:54.One mile run—4:22.Two mile run—9.40.High hurdles—15 seconds.Low hurdles—24 seconds.Broad jump—24 feet.High jump—6 fet 4 inches.Shot put>—48 feetDiscus—145 feet.Javelin—195 fajet.According to the above marks andtimes, the N. C. A. A. won’t be over¬burdened when passing out expensevouchers. For instance, there aren’ttoo many men who can do 24 feetin the broad jump, and that 48 feetin the discus won’t encourage verymany weight men to seek a piece ofthat 25 grand fund.s s sThere is nothing that has a tend¬ency to disappear more quickly fromathletic departments of a high schoolor a college than a sweat shirt—un¬less it is sweat socks. There are al¬ways indoor or touchball games tobe played and a nice outer coveringwith the name of the alma materemblazoned thereon is a good thingto play in. and is ideal to wear w'henwashing the car.Cornell college however resentsthe disappearance of certain sweatshirts during the past basketball sea¬son, and until these shirts are re¬turned no basketball aw’ards will bemade. None of the sweat shirts havebeen returned and no awards havebeen made. C’mon now, ’fess up.♦ * +Dan E.

May we again em¬phasize the fact that he was swim¬ming in the men’s events. Jay wasthird in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. Two medley relay teams madeup of freshmen took third and fourthin a special race. Continuing their batting practicefrom where they left off yesterday,the Marons unleased a barrage of15 assorted hits off the delivery ofSolly Solomon to hang up an 18 to3 victory at the expense of ChicagoNormal yesterday. Chicago scored inevery inning except the seventh toclinch their first intercollegiate winof the year.Con Laird, who started for theMaroons, allowed one hit in thefourth and another in the sixth, thelatter good for two unearned runs,before retiring to give the otherpitchers a little practice. Bus Yedorpermitted only one hit, an Alphonse-Gaston affair which dropped between jLevin and Haarlow, but he had to berescued by Bill Sherwin when hecompletely lost his control in thesixth.Two HomercDave Levin and Ralph Wenlingpaced the sluggers with three-for-four and four-for-six respectively.Levin and Comerford both contribut¬ed homers to the cause.The merry-go-round was set spin¬ning in the first inning when tw’omen, Berkson and Levin, successful¬ly circled the bases, Comerford’s hitbeing the potent factor. In the sec¬ond Offill singled and scored onCochran’s hit. In the third Wehlingknocked the first of his four hitsand was driven home by Levin, whocompleted the circuit by stealingtwo of the total of four bases he pil¬fered during the afternoon, and con¬tinuing home on an error.Merry-Go-Round jThe fourth saw the production of itwo more runs. Cochran coaxed the |first of his three walks, stole second, iand came in on Wehling’s hit. Ralph 'promptly scored on Marv Berkson’s jdouble. In the sixth frame the mer¬ry-go-round speeded up a little, four 'men taking a ride Haarlow aimed asingle between third and short and |came home ahead of Comerfordwhen the latter boosted the ball overthe left field fence. After the nexttwo men were out Cochran andLaird w’alked and came in on Wehl¬ing’s third hit.The boys paused to catch theirbreath in the “lucky” seventh, butresumed production in the eighthwith a final splurge of five runs. Le¬vin launched things with his homer.The next six men then reached basesafely, Thompson and Yedor con¬tributing hits. Berwanger Setto Go in FiretDecathlon TryChicago’s first decathlon prospectin many years. Jay Berwanger,makes his initial try in the all-aroundevent tomorrow aftemon at the Kan¬sas Relays at Lawrence, Kansas. Notexceptional in any one event, butgood in several, Berwanger appearsto have enough ability in nine of theten divisions to place him among theleaders. His main weakness lies inthe 1500-meter run, a distance event,partly because of the extra ti'ainingand endurance required and partlybecause it is the last event on thelong schedule, which is the weakspot of so many decathlon men.Seven Men EnteredClyde Coffman, University ofKansas Olympic performer, shouldprovide the most competition for thesix other all-around men and willprobably win the event by severalhundred points. The I'emaining fiveentries are Russell Pearson of Cen¬tral Missouri Teachers College,fourth in last year’s Kansas Relays,Ray Patterson of Iowa Wesleyan,university, and Dave Cook, co-cap¬tain of the Illinois track team andformer Big Ten shot put champion,Arnold Proheim of Yanktown Col¬lege, Lorenzo McLain of Wichita. NETMEN OVERWHELMNORTH CENTRAL FORSECOND VICTORY. 7-0The Maroon netmen overwhelmedi North Central College for their sec-I ond whitewash victory in a row. 7-0was the score of the match whichI was held last night in the fieldhouse.The local boys lost only 12 games! in seven matches, six in singles andthe same number in doubles.Captain Max Davidson, El Patter¬son, and Chuck Tyroler won theirsingles matches by 6-0, 6-1 scores.Davidson’s blistering serves and fore¬hand smashes were too much forDomm, North Central No. 1 man,while McCollum at No. 3 for the Na¬perville men conceded after hismatch that Patterson was “just tooaccurate.” Tyroler had an easy timewith Spiegler, who played his firstinter-collegiate match.Weiss blanked Neill, North Cen¬tral No. 2, 6-0, 6-0. Weiss time andagain passed his opponent at the netwith powerful forehand drives.George Factor, also playing his firstmatch with outside competition, out¬classed Woodward, 6-2, 6-1, in thelast singles match.The Naperville netsters seemedstronger in the doubles events, al¬though the scores of 6-0, 6-3 and 6-2,6-1 indicated that they were prettythoroughly beaten. Both of the Chi-i cago doubles teams took thingseasy, the Big Ten champs, DavidsonI and Weiss, wining by the former! record over Domm and McCollum,i while Patterson and Tyroler werei victorious over Neill and Spiegler by1 the second score.
