(The Dean’s office bannedit because one of its main attractionswa.' the gambling concessions, onwhich most of the money was made.)The ball will be held on Friday,May 5, in the Ida Noyes Cloister( lub from nine to one. Begun lastyear, the Ball is an annual affairgiven by the senior class, but it isoian to all..-\lthough lacking the gambling fa¬cilities. the new Fandango will in-(oiporate all the other carnival as¬pects of the original.The entire first floor of Ida Noyeswill be used for the dance, and thelarge gym, appropriately decoratedto create a “Fair” atmosphere, willbt ilevoted to booths.One of the main features of theevening, however, will be a campusfloor show with an entirely new anddifferent array of talent.

Theplans include a general campus meet¬ing next week, and the publication ofa report of the committee’s work.Members of the executive group havediscussed the changes with I)eansAaron J. Brumbaugh and George A.Works, Vice-President Emery T. Fil-bey and President Hutchins. Theirconclusions are that the plan was notdesigned specifically to raise money,but as a money-raising scheme cou¬pled with a method of restricted un-limite<l freedom of registration forcourses. The reasons behind theseconclusions that although there is noestimate released for publication ofthe amount of money which this spe¬cific j)lan must raise to fulfill the Uni¬versity’s budget requirements, all in¬dications are that it is a small figure.Since a small amount could moreeasily be raised by a slightly largerincrease in general fees than has al¬ready been projected, the committeefeels that there is another motive. Thisopinion was strengthened by Vice-President Filbey’s statement that theamount of money which the planwould raise was not the crucial point.Committee members object to the con-Over $3000 Collected toDate Toward $10,000Goal.!

Nye, Smith SpeakAt Pacifist StrikeBenes EndorsesASU CollectiveSecurity MeetingEduard Benes, in a letter to JudyForrester, former chairman of theAmerican Student Union, yesterdayexpressed his endorsement of theprogram of the peace strike meetingin Mandel Hall on Thursday. Thismeeting, taking the majority opinionof the Peace Conference as its pro¬gram, and directed hy members ofthe American Student Union, is or¬ganized arourd a modified collectivesecurity program.The letter follows:I regret that I cannot speak atyour demonstration at the Universityof Chicago on Thursday, April 20. Ishall be in New York that day addres¬sing a convention of the AmericanLeague of Women Voters, but I wantto say to your gathering that it hasmy enthusiastic support and interest.I understand that it is to be a greatdemonstration for peace and demo¬cracy. Those two words are closelytied together. Peace and democracycannot survive along side the totali¬tarian regimes—one or the other mustgo. And we know that democracy willsurvive, because it is right. It is onlythrough a strong stand of freedomloving peoples that the aggressorscan be held in check. Such a standis now being organized throughoutthe world. Freedom loving peoplesare uniting in a great effort to stopthe aggressors. I am convinced thatthis movement will be successful, andI urge the American Student Unionto give it every support.As I have frequently said, theworld is going into a great conflictof some sort between the Spirit andthe Sword. The Spirit w’ill be victor¬ious. I am hoping with all right think¬ing people that it may be possible toavoid war, but if war is necessary,I shall stand with all right thinkingpeople for the overthrow of evil andthe supremacy of good. The motto ofmy country is “Truth Conquers.”Truth will conquer now.

YCAW Holds Anti-WarStrike at 11 Today inMandel.The first of this year’s three strikesagainst w’ar gets under way at 11today in Mandel hall when Gerald P.Nye of the Senate Military AffairsCommittee and Tucker P. Smith, edu¬cational director of the United Auto¬mobile Workers, CIO, speak for theYouth Committee Against War.Three strikes are being held be¬cause of the fundamental disagree¬ment between the collective securityposition of the ASU and the PeaceConference, and the pacifist positionof the YCAW and the Trotskyitesponsored Anti-War Strike Commit¬tee. Neither of the latter two, al¬though their strike calls embody es¬sentially the same program, wouldaccept the conditions the other de¬manded in order that their two strikesmight be joined.The pacifist position advocatesstrengthening Neutrality legislation,and combating industrial mobiliza¬tion, the militarization of youth, andrecent war preparations; and sup¬ports the Oxford Oath, which pledgesthose who take it to refuse aid to thegovernment in any war it may under¬take.Collective securityites, on the otherhand, support the Roosevelt peacepolicy and believe that world peacemust rest on a coalition of the demo¬cratic nations against the Fascists.Genora Johnson, leader of theWomen’s Brigade of the sit-downstrikes last year, has been secured tospeak at the Trotskyite strike tomor¬row at 11 in Hutchinson court, w’hilein Mandel hall at the same time, theASU, cooperating wtih the majorityof the Peace Conference, demonstrate^for peace with a skit. The parts ofHitler, Mussolini, Goering and Cham¬berlain will be taken, respectively, byEdward Fizdale, Jerome Lettvin,James Peterson, and Britton Harris.A special strike issue of Soapbox,the magazine of the Socialist Club,Fourth International, will appear oncampus today and tomorrow.Campus BumsCome to TrialIn Moot CourtBy ERNEST LEISERand DAVID GOTTLIEBHear ye! Hear ye! (Or have youheard ?)This afternoon at 4 the trial of theyear will be brought into open court.Roger Nielsen, back end of Black-friars’ bull, has filed suit against PhilSchnering, Cap and Gown editor, anexample of the highly imperfect pa¬role system in Illinois, for assaultand battery with intent at assaultand battery. Newest turn in theevents yesterday was the joining ofBill Webbe, Student Social Commit¬tee head, and ex-inmate of St. CharlesSchool for Naughty Boys, as co-de¬fendant in the case.Presiding at the session will be Illi¬nois Superior Court Judge DonaldMcKinlay. To complicate the trial,Schnering has filed a counter claimagainst Nielsen, whom he is accus¬ing of slanderous, libelous defama¬tion of character.The sequence of events leading upto the trial is one of the outstandingnews-behind-the-news stories of theyear. Having been accused of sharpCap and Gown business practices byNielsen, 0 and S brother Schnei’ingwas incited to hand Roger a sharpleft on the nose. Webbe, accordingto reliable witnesses, tripped theplaintiff while he was falling.Since the Moot Court of the LawSchool yearly has a mock trial, Niel¬sen took the opportunity of bringinghis plaint before the flower of theBar Associations ingenues, and afterexchanging a series of preliminaryinsults W’ith Schnering, was restrainedby ten strong men from attackingPhil and Bill Webbe before the trial.Witnesses, some of whom haven’tdecided whether to testify for thr(Continued on page 3)THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1939Page TwoClie ^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSTb« Daily Mp.ioon Is ITie official 8tu4entnewspaper of the University of Chicago,published mornings except Saturday, Sun¬day and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 5831 University avenue.Telephones: Hyde Park 9221 and 9222.A'ter 6:30 phone in stories to ourprinters.

Robert Sedlak, Charles O’DonnellBUSINESS ASSOCIATESRichard Caple, Richard Glasser, RolandRichman, David Salzberg,Harry ToppingNight Editor: Charles O'DonnellReport From theTuition FrontThe student committee to pro¬test the tuition changes whichlevy a $20 assessment for extracourses has drawn three conclu¬sions out of the results of con¬ferences with University offi¬cials. The lmost important isthat this plan is not necessarilythe most advisable from a mon¬ey-making point of view. There¬fore the plan must have beenadopted with some educationalobjectives in mind, and the mostobvious one is the inhibition ofunlimited freedom to take cour¬ses.By now everybody knows thatthe University, like most otherAmerican institutions of learn¬ing, is growing poor because ofthe difficulty of finding goodlong-term investments with ahigh interest yield. Everybodyknows that the Universtiy hashad to dip into its capital tokeep running and has decidedthat some of the deficit must bemade up out of the pockets ofstudents. What everyone doesnot know is that University of¬ficials discussed two other plans,neither of which would end NewPlan encouragement of freedomof educational opportunities. Thealternatives were a small gener¬al increase in tuition, or a low¬ered tuition with the addition ofa sizable fee for comprehensiveexaminations. These two, bothsensible systems, were discardedin favor of a plan which keepsneedy students from taking theextra courses which they maybe intellectually qualified to car¬ry, and places a psychologicalbarrier in the way of all studentswishing to satisfy their intel-lectuaL curiosity.The reason is not that thechosen plan is a better money-raiser. It was mentioned to DeanWorks that if money were theobject; a general fee increase ofas little as $7 per quarter wouldraise $200,000. He said, “Wedon’t need that much.” It wasmentioned to Vice-President Fil-bey that students would stoptaking extra courses, and there¬fore very little money would bemade. He said that money wasnot the crucial point.It is conceivable that there issome truth to the contentionthat students should nay forservices rendered, and that stu¬dents who go through the Uni¬versity in half time should paymore than two years’ tuition.But this could just as well beregulated by the switch to alarge examination fee, a plan ofPresident Hutchins’ which wasrejected, a plan which would hit■'ijl students, quick as well asequally. It is conceivable that there is some value to regu¬lating the number of courses astudent may take. But this is apurely educational issue, andmoney should be left out of it.The plan that was chosen isthe poorest of those considered.Its adoption constitutes an un¬fair use of a money appeal tomask an educational issue. Stu¬dents are willing to help theUniversity out of a financialhole. They are not willing to helpit out by submitting to an in¬efficient money-raising schemewhich destroys one of the mostvaluable assets of the New Plan.TravellingBazaarFor the First Timein ages, a campus election has ac¬tually been conducted on the level.This “Coup D’Etat” was nothing lessthan the recent Blackfriar’s score girlcontest. Rumors ran wildly rife fora while saying maliciously that thewinner was pi’e-destined and a fore¬gone conclusion, as per usual.Truth of the matter was that TheBlackfriar’s was tempted, by a womanat that, but that they piously put thethought from them. A reputable wom¬an’s magazine told the boys that if itsSpecial Protegee and Future Em¬ployee were picked, both B-F and theyoung woman would come into aglorious heritage of pages of pub¬licity.But the Purity League of theBlackfriar’s Board said no — BobCrosby fairly and squarely pickedElisberg as the prettiest of the Bunch.The spurned Magazine Girl felt a lit¬tle disgruntled, but the Board nowvests easy of night, with consciencesassuaged and at peace with the cam¬pus.* * *In answer to Ann Orvis, w ho wrotea Shady Poem for Pulse.Love Comes to the CampusorI got the Labor—Who Got theCapitalYour appearance on the market withlively danger’s fraught,Love ain’t to be bartered, love is tobe bought.The Christmas book he gives you maybe of second hand—The tickets may be passes, the sweetsa cheaper brand,And you might never use the thingsthat he may choose to send—A cash and carry basis is better inthe end.But what you have to offer is notscarce on the exchange—There is much competition within thecampus’ range;Prices here are getting low, you willnot get your book,For such a present it now takes whatothers haven’t took;When an almond chocolate bar’s heresufficient restitution—How far can you, a new one, getwith high-class prostitution?And you may not be cognizant of gen¬tle tricks of trade—It may be one’s undoing when theother person’s made;Insist on perfect knowledge on thepart of your abusers—What you may think consumer’sgoods may also be producer’s.And so farewell with best of luck—Ihope you get your present—Abstention has its good points hutvenery is pleasant.J.

Merriam,head of the political science depart¬ment, said yesterday at the Univer¬sity.Professor Merriam spoke on “TheOrganization of Consent,” the thirdof four lectures on “Systematic Poli¬tics,” part of the spring lecture se¬ries of the University’s social sciencesdivision.“In many jurisdictions there is nota clear understanding as to what isto be given up in an emergency.Super-patriots may cheerfully sur¬render too mu''h. Malcontents, sub¬zero patriots, m)^y not be willing togive up enough. ^“Our Revolutiofaary War was al-most lost by the (reluctance of thestates to continue necessarv aid to the nation. On the other hand,aspiring leaders have often taken ad¬vantage of emergency powers to es¬tablish themselves in permanent con¬trol, as in the case of Germany andHitler.”Democratic Leaders OftenMisunderstoodThere is often misunderstanding ofthe actions of democratic leaders ina crisis, Professor Merriam said, be¬cause of the conflict between the de¬sire for extreme consent governmentand that for adequately meeting thecrisis.Popular control should be held overkey points in government, but notover the entire government, in orderto insure efficient government whichstill rules by consent of the governed,the speaker said. “We cannpt electpolicemen or officers in the^army.” Freeman Replaces MerriamOn Kelly-Linn Committee“We want people who have a con¬ception of the appropriate duties ofthe School Board, who have the en¬tile confidence of the community, andwho have enough experience to man¬age effectively a 50,000,000 dollar en¬terprise—the Chicago school system.”Frank N. Freeman, University profes¬sor of Educational Psychology, amember of the new School Board Ad¬visory Committee, thus defines thetype of person that the Committeewould recommend to Mayor EdwardJ. Kelly for apointment to the board.Professor Freeman fills the post whichCharles Merriam, pressed with otherduties, declined.“The difficulty with the presentSchool Board,” said Freeman in aninterview yi^terday, “is that it triesto take over the duties of the super¬intendent. It has been interfering inthe internal matters of school ojiera-tion—with the purchase of textbooks,certain appointments, and other mat¬ters ordinarily left to the superinten¬dent. The Board ought to delegateauthority to the superintendent,, re¬serving to it.self the right to pass up¬on his suggestions and action.”Committee Approves AppointmentsMayor Kelly, appointing this ad¬visory committee at the suggestionof James Weber Linn, UniversityEnglish professor'and state represen¬tative said that the Committee wouldhave the power to approve or di.sap-prove all appointments to the schoolboard, and to nominate men for ap¬pointments. The terms of two mem¬bers of the school board, Harry W.Solomon and Karel V. Janousky, ex¬pire at the end of the month and theCommittee is preparing data uponwhich to recommend two new mem¬bers for the eleven man board.Since the terms of two SchoolBoard members expire each year,only a few years must pass before aworking majority of the Board iscomposed of persons of the typewhich the Committee considers com-l)etent.The Advisory Committee derivesits authority from Mayor Kelly. Hehas sole power of appointing mem¬bers to the Board of Education. In aletter to members of the new com¬mittee Mayor Kelly promi.sed to taketheir advice, giving them the powerto approve or veto any appointment.The Committee, notes ProfessorFreeman, has no legal standing ex¬cept in an advi.sory capacity. “It isnot a ‘suiier School Board’.” If theSchool Board agrees, the Committeemight inquire into matters whichhave drawn criticism to the Chicagoschools system, as temporary ap¬pointments, the conduction, of exam¬inations, the appointment of princi¬pals,? curricula, vocational schools,and building programs.Committee Needs Business MenReturning to an exposition of qual-l.iln intramurals Phi Gamma Del¬ta defeated Kappa Sigma in softball.Incidentally, Phi Beta Delta has beenoff campus for some time.2.

V. Smith, professor of phil¬osophy and Congressman-at-1 a r g efrom Illinois, emphasizes in a revisededition of his book, “The DemocraticWay of Life.”“Documenting a more hesitatingoptimism” especially as to the roleand limit of democratic tolerance inthe world today. Professor Smithseeks through a new chapter on“Democratic Discipline,” which con¬stitutes more than a fourth of thebook, to state the theory and useful¬ness of discipline in democracy. Thenew study is published by the Uni¬versity Press, publishers of the orig¬inal volume in 1926.Though democracy seeks throughtoleration to create individualities, itcan afford to extend unlimited tolera¬ tion only to the tolerant. ProfessorSmith contends.“To apply to totalitarian bluffersand to their underlings, sneakingamong us, the medicine they wouldapply to us is to lay hands upon theirbodies but to lose our own souls. Andyet to tolerate without limit such ut¬terly intolerant ones is for us to loseour bodies to those who have alreadylost all that freemen call their souls.“Self-limiting, tAen, the doctrine oftolerance will appear to all save fa¬natics. We must treat tolerance asa matter of prudence rather than asa counsel of suicide. We hazard thenas principle this deviation from ourancient doctrine: ‘Unlimited tolerancethrough the practice of toleration—but only to the point of prudence sofar as totalitarians are concerned.”Introducing this chapter. Professor Smith says: “We are much fartherfrom some fair and secure renderingof the democratic way of life thanwe thought before the world war...“What totalitarian states cannotafford to do in fear of death, demo¬cratic states cannot afford not to doin hope of life. We must, by disci¬pline, strive to maximize, they tominimize, what is allowed of free¬dom to commen men.”Tennis Rackets$1.65 to $17.50Balls, Presses, and all accessoriesShorts, Sox, Shirts, Shoes, etc.Most complete stockWOODWORTH'S1311 E. 57th St. OPEN EVES.Near Kimbark Ave. DORchester 4800IS THERE A STRAINON YOUR FAMILY TIES?WHERE DOES HITLERGO FROM HERE?Nazi Bible, in the Ught of rarrentnews the author interprets its truer:intfortheworldin.en^^^^^for Americans in particular.Hequot^Hitler in support of his conclusions.Fc."asrn.pleto.oHitief»^-nd-ity, aims and purposes.Post this week to page 23 and readBlueprint for Hellby IRA lEWEU WIlUAMS, JR.2Di0^fANIC ft ft""'*** PGWxJehouseINVITES YOUh an hilarious six-week-party at(among others)Jrittek^mouiitfauialli^&lstktottFifth Earl of [ckenham''a man of brig|it enthusiasms and die fresh^unspoiledoutlook of a slighdy inebriated undeigraduate ”CDursHX [four visit Air Wpromises there willbe a^od deal ed utierly uonsensical fuss made over...THE OTTHAT EMINENT MEDAL-WINNING SOWre tllfofP Wil^”It was a nice trapMrs.Cheadle arranged forthe debs. “I thoughtAmericans could donnythirtA, shepurged. “Why dontvou join us in a fox-Lnt?”...ifyo“«-member what hap¬pened when Swingand Audrey“crashed” the Coro¬nation, don’t missthis!View Holloa"'Pronounced**Holler” byPAUL GALLICO Begin this new serialon page five of yourPOST this week.."l/ndeFralindieSpnnyme"WHY STALIN SHOT HIS GENERALS.Why were the leaders of the Red Armyexecuted?

Yesterday’s game with NotreDame was to have been the acid testof the Maroons’ ability on the dia¬mond, and it was thought that theresults of that game would probablygive a reliable index of the team’sBig Ten potentialities.Two practice tilts scheduled forlast week had to be called off indef¬initely because of the unsuitable play¬ing conditions. Although Coach KyleAnderson’s boys had met both Ar¬mour and Illinois Wesleyan previous¬ly, those two games were consideredof very great importance in gettingthe team into shape for the openingof the Conference season this Fridayand Saturday, when the Maroons takeon Purdue in a two game series atLafayette.Because of the field it is unlikelythat the team will be able to get inany kind of drill before the Confer¬ence opener. The last time they work¬ed out of doors was a week ago yes¬terday, when they trimmed Armourfour to one. Even that drill was rath¬er unsatisfactory because of the ex- |tremely cold wind and occasionalsnow flurries which hampered theplayers.In spite of their eleven day layoff,the players are not anticipating a de¬feat at the hands of the Boilermakersthis weekend—or at least, certainlynot two drubbings. Of course, as anyball fan knows, the games will de¬pend for the most part on the effec¬tiveness of the respective pitchers.Coach Anderson feels that his mound ' staff is vastly improved over lastyear; he has three hurlers in whomhe places great faith. Veteran BobReynolds, although he was less effec¬tive last year than in ’37, should beable to handle a good many of theConference pitching assignments, andSophomore Art Lopatka, a newcom¬er who has shown both brains andsteadiness in addition to plenty of“stuff,” is expected to turn in manycreditable performances for Chicago.Cliff Gramer, an outfielder by tra'de,has developed into quite an effectivepitcher over the winter; as Andersonput it the other day, “He has one ofthe fastest balls in the Conference.All he needs is a little more controland experience.”mini WinGym MeetWith the final results of the Na¬tional Collegiate Gym meet tabulated,Illinois, a team which had defeatedChicago twice during the regular BigTen season, dethroned the Maroonsfrom the championship which theywon last year at the first annual meet.Captain Erwin Beyer, who has beenthe star of the Midway team for sev¬eral years won all seven of his team’spoints, and took second place in theall-around championships. Illinois’Joe Galliombardo successfully de¬fended his all-around crown, when henosed out Beyer by a mere nine pointsin the event.The final team standings are asfollows;Illinois 21U. S.

Fighting for thevarious prizes are seventy five en¬trants.Unusual in Reynolds Club tourniesis the fact that a woman is partici¬pating in the contest. The femaleping-pong artist is Charlotte Ford, aformer winner in the women’s divi¬sion of a recent Chicago Americantournament. So far, no upsets havebeen encountered in the play.Incidental with the contest is theannouncement that a home and homearrangement has been made withNorthwestern University. The firstmatch is to be held here April 28.Playing for the Maroon table will bea squad selected by a recent roundrobin tourney. They are E. Wilkins,A. Green, I). Finn, H. Greenberg, andL. Dougherty.The ping-pong tables in the base¬ment of the Reynolds Club are in con¬stant use by the incumbents whopractice daily with an eye to the con¬solation prizes. jFour MaroonsMake All-Big-Ten SquadPlaying on the water polo squadthat garnered the Big Ten crown andthe runner-up position in the juniorN.C.A.A. tournament were four Ma¬roons who have just been picked forregular position on an all-conferencesquad. Holding down four of theseven spots offered on the team arePhil Schnering, captain of the squad,who played his third season with thenatators this year, and John VanDe-Water getting a guard position forthe second time. A1 DeGrazia re¬ceived the other guard award mainlybecause of his ability to take theball away from his opponent. Fourthman on the honor squad is Bill Macyholding down the difficult goalie posi¬tion.The four Chicago men and theother three players placed on theConference squad are picked by aone-man committee consisting of theMaroon mentor.
