fWk Batlp illaroanVol. 40, No. 18 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1939 Price Three CentsInsideStory* * *RICHARD C. MASSELLPEARL C. RUBINSCampus publications are not ordi¬narily centers of intrigue, of doubledealings. But so far this year thesehave been the only activities whichPulse has sought.Few people realized, when they sawthe first issue, that the names of staffmembers inserted were largely fraud¬ulent. John H. Patrick, who waslisted as a member of the board ofPulse had resigned long before thefirst issue was planned. A poor car¬toonist, Patrick felt that an activitysuch as Pulse should serve as an es¬cape, and that in working on such apublication the relaxation therebyderived was as valuable as the crea¬tive work. Patrick found that Pulsestaff members made such relaxationimpossible: Pulse had become a po¬litical football for big boys who wereat the top, and couldn’t go further.Immediately after the announcementof this year’s staff, Patrick was ap¬proached by two old board members,each one trying to get Patrick’s votein order to oust Hirsch. It was at thistime that Patrick decided not to playball in the game for power. He re¬signed, feeling that the purposes ofsuch a publication were other thanpolitical maneuvering, different inaim than ward heeling.Also fraudulently presented to cam¬pus readers as Pulse staff memberswere wizened Harry Scholl, Missouritransfer whom Pulse expected to addto their staff but who really didn’twork much for them at all, andGeorge McElroy, former board mem¬ber who was scheduled to do a tearjerker about Teddy Linn, but who al¬so didn’t come through.On the business staff they listedbusy Pi Lam Jerry Abelson, whohasn’t been within ten feet of Pulsethis year, and C. Hahn, the lucklessCharless, who also had no connectionwith the magazine.The best fraud of all was the list¬ing of W. B. Bradbury as a businessstaff member. W. B. Bradbury is anational advertising agency.♦ ♦ ♦The double-dealing can be traced tosmoothie, little Ira Click, managingeditor of Pulse. Click is an artist inthe double cross, failed in his coupd’etat of the year. He offered DickHimmel the job of one of the featureeditors of Pulse if Himmel would at¬tempt to get him (Click) in Skull andCre.scent. That Bob Davis was featureeditor didn’t bother Click; Hirschwould get him out. Davis later deniedthe fact that there was friction onthe board, but that doesn’t alter thematter in the least. There was fric¬tion, not between editors, Click andfeature editor Davis, but betweenboard members Hirsch and Davis.DA IntroducesNew Stage EffectsIII ^Night Must FairI). A.’s Night Must Fall which willhe given Friday and Saturday nightsin Mandel hall will introduce, alongwith several newcomer stars, severalinnovations in stage effects.For the first time in years the Man-del hall stage will be covered witha ceiling. This innovation is madepossible by the fact that the play onlyrequires one set, that of the interiorof Mrs. Bramson’s cottage in ruralEngland. In addition to this the stageeffect will be given depth by the in¬sertion of a black drop curtain placedbelow the regular Mandel curtain.Jim Tedroe is in charge of stage set¬ting and Mary Hammel is stage man¬ager.The props for Night Must Fall aremore involved than the D. A. usuallyemploys. Center of attention is thehat box which Danny carries. Otherunusual props are the wheelchairwhich the invalid Mrs. Bramsonuses and the handcuffs for the mur¬derer. D, A. property chairman Hen¬rietta Mahon and her assistant JaneWarren are in charge. War Rages-Ill Maroon SunValley ContestArdent campaigning by fraternitiesand clubs backing candidates for theDaily Maroon’s Most Representativestudent contest, marked the first dayof balloting yesterday. Students mayvote at tables in Cobb and Mandeltoday and tomorrow between thehours of 10 and 12, and 1:30 and 3^30.Candidates for the title of IV^stRepresentative Woman on camfSusare Doris Alt, Betty Caldwell, Pe^^gyFlynn, Janet Geiger, Clarabell Gr'-ss-man, Thelma Iselman, Henrietta |[a-hon, and Jean Phillips.Men who hope to go to Sun Va j^eyas the Most Representative male^atthe University are Jerry Abelson, .^mAnderson, John Davenport, Art I,fe-wy, Bill Macy, Gordon Murray, Ch (pkPfeiffer, Mel Rosenfeld, and Eer^Trowbridge. ^In order to vote in the contest imiseither necessary to be a subscriheretothe Daily Maroon, or a salesman w>iohas sold at least one subscription olothe paper. For each subscription tl asbought or sold two votes, one fors.aMost Representative Man and one iera Most Representative Woman, will 1-eallowed. It is not necessary to votein person, A ballot may be cast byproxy if the person so voting willsend his receipt to the voting tablesby messenger. Voting so safeguarded,the Board of Control thinks, cannothelp but be honest.Sun Valley, the new outdoor play¬ground of America to which the DailyMaroon will send the elected Repre¬sentatives, is located in the heart ofthe Sawtooth mountain range in mid-Idaho. When the University’s MostRepresentative Man and Woman ar¬rive at Challenger Inn, shortly afterChristmas, they will find the first fallof snow on the lower slopes of thasurrounding peaks.Sun Valley snow is unlike the snowwhich falls in the Middle-West. Itis powdery, almost dry, and it pro¬vides an excellent surface for skiingdown the treeless slopes. Ski expertswill teach them to uphold the Uni¬versity’s reputation by landing ontheir feet.Discuss SovietPolicy BeforePeace CouncilSamuel N. Harper, one of the fore¬most interpreters of Soviet Russia,will address an open meeting of thePeace Council this afternoon. Thespeech, held in Social Science 122,will begin at 3:30 and will be followedby a discussion and question period.Professor of Russian language andinstitutions at the University, Harperhas gone on periodic trips to Europe,including extensive visits to Russia.In addition to a thorough knowledgeof the background of the present cri¬sis, he has excellent first hand infor¬mation.Admitting that he is somewhatpuzzled as to recent Soviet foreignpolicy, he is said to have writtentwenty-four alternate explanations ofit.This will be the first meeting atwhich the campus will have an oppor¬tunity to hear Professor Harper’sopinion on present day Soviet foreignpolicy.Last year Harper taught the wifeof a diplomatic attache to do the“Lambeth Walk’’ at a fashionableRussian night club.Laves Speaks toCommercial MeetingWalter H. C. Laves, associate pro¬fessor of Political Science at the Uni¬versity, will take part in a triangulardiscussion before a meeting of theJunior Association of Commerce to¬night. Dr. Earl H. DeLong of North¬western and Dr. Ernest Tittle, minis¬ter of M. E. Church of Evanston, willalso participate before the gatheringat Hotel Sherman. The Associationis a representative group of youngbusiness executives. OrganizeGroup Ij.qji Mask AiuiouncesFor Scientific tvt «Culture Study BcautyQucciiN ominees“Science and Society Group” is thename of the newest campus study or¬ganization. It is a group “devoted tothe study of scientific method appliedto cultural, economic, social, and po¬litical problems. Its point of viewwill be Marxist.Not an action group—as its secre¬tary pro tern, Alec Morin, pointed out—its purpose will be purely to edu¬cate. It will educate anyone whowants to come by presenting at leastthree, and perhaps more, series ofdiscussions on various subtopics.Meyer Discusses LeninLeading one discussion will beFrank Meyer, head of the ChicagoWorker’s School. Discussees will an¬alyze two of Lenin’s books, the firstone on “The State and Revolution”and the second one on “Imperialism.”They will attempt to stress its appli¬cation to the present world situation.The second series of discussionswill be devoted to analysis of impor¬tant cultural figures and their par¬ticular relation to society. Amongothers Socrates, Milton, Hegel, andMozart will be dissected by the sci¬entific students.Organizational MeetingThe work of the other discussionshas not been definitely decided on asyet. Some of the preliminary decisionwill come at the group’s first organi¬zational meeting, tomorrow at 12:30in Social Science 106, along with theelection of officers and the ratifica¬tion of the body’s constitution. Spon¬sor of the group is David Daiches,instructor in English.Meyer’s first seminar will also bepresented tomorrow afternoon, whendiscussion I of the SSG will be heldat 3:30 in Classics 11. All studentsare Invited to attend all of the meet-ing.^- of the embryo study group. Molkup^ ProbstBroadcast forBull SessionStudent Forum members Joe Mol-kup and George Probst will repre¬sent the University as guests of theColumbia Broadcasting Company atan all midwestern Bull Session thisSaturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Otherschools that will be represented are.Northwestern, Drake, Illinois, andMinnesota. The broadcast will be¬gin at 9 A.M., CTS, and will last30 minutes. Because the ChicagoCBS station is contracted for com¬mercials during that time, a record¬ing of the conference may be heardat 4:30 over WBBM.The topic of the Bull Session willcenter around the student populationas a target for propaganda and theeffectiveness of campus peace move¬ments.It is the first time in Bull Sessionhistory that a representative groupof students from leading midwesternuniversities will travel to meet in acity to participate in a nation widebroadcast. CBS officials may use Sat¬urday’s program as a basis for ex¬panding this type of broadcast inorder that the radio audience maybecome better acquainted with stu¬dent problems.A radio Bull Session is usuallycomprised of five or ten persons whoare acquainted with the topic enoughto discuss it intelligently. The pro¬gram is not rehearsed, consequentlythe conversation is spontaneous. DePaul, Northwestern, and Chicagotook weekly turns in broadcasting thestudent sessions over CBS last year.

She has shelved the realproblems confronting her and hasplunged into a war, dry-eyed andcheerless but feeling that the war willfind no final solution. No, I don’t feelthat the English government has fullyrealized the gravity of the situation.We don’t know whether the war willbring Fascism or Communism. Butthe English people do feel that Hitlermust be stopped.”These were the conclusions ofquiet-voiced Scot, Archibald R. K.Mackenzie, Comonwealth Fellowwhose arrival to the United Stateswas delayed because of the red tapeconnected with getting passage out ofthe British Isles. An Oxford student,Mackenzie’s story of his voyage wasa tale of tense nerves, of overcrowd¬ing on the boat, of covered portholes,of blackouts every night, of gun prac¬tice in mid-Atlantic, and of “old wom¬en running frantically around in theboat in life belts.”English Attitudes“There are two attitudes in Eng-lands towards the part that Americashould play in the war. One is thatthe United States is duty-bound to goto war. Since it has been even morestrongly anti-Nazi than has Englandbeen evidenced in the picture “Con¬fessions of a Nazi Spy,” it should cer¬tainly help fight the battle againstHitler. The other, and the morethoughtful attitude is that the UnitedStates should not fight, but that sheTroskyites to HearNorm Sanders SpeakContinuing its weekly struggleagainst war, the order of Socialists,Trotskyite clan, is meeting tonight tohear Norman Sanders tell of the 4thInternational’s anti-war fight.The meeting will be held in SocialScience 105 at 8. Not only the anti¬war fight, past and present will bepresented at the weekly class, butalso the history of the labor and paci¬fist movements in the last war willbe studied. From the analysis will bedrawn the conclusions for action inthe struggle against this war. should support the cause of peace,and should work toward that end.”Mackenzie is a resident of JudsonCourt. A member of the famed MoralRe-armament group, he is over hereworking in the Political Science de¬partment, planning to write his thesison “The Moral Implications of De¬mocracy.”Students Misdirect EffortsHis impression of Ameoican stu¬dents is that they work ^rder thanBritish students, but that much oftheir effort is misdirected. He ques¬tioned the efficacy of studying re¬quired courses and said that heshouldn’t like to have to waste timeon courses that he didn’t care to take.He said that eight o’clock classeswould seem ghastly to the Oxfordstudent, but added that there was aroll-call every morning “before 8:30at which you had to be present withyour pajamas at least out of sight.”Mackenzie was worried over the ef¬fects that the war would have inthrowing the focus of attention awayfrom the “real probelms—the rela-(Continued on page three)Chapel Union PlansOuting PartyFor This Week EndChapel Unionites will discard text¬books this weekend in favor of a Hal¬lowe’en party Friday night in IdaNoyes and an outing on Saturdayand Sunday at Druce Lake Camp,Lake Villa, Illinois.

Next quartermay see a new course in thePhysical Sciences Division—one which gives ground train¬ing in aeronautics. The groundtraining would be preparatoryto actual flying lessons at someairport approved by both theUniversity and the Civil Aero¬nautics Authority. Over 200students have already expressedtheir interest in such a course.Do the.se 200 students knowwhat they are doing? Do theythink the government wantsthem to learn to fly so that in¬tercollegiate aviation meets maysoon replace football as thegreat American sport? Or dothey believe that classroom in¬struction in meteorology, navi¬gation, aerodynamics, and avia¬tion law is going to be followedup by actual flying just so thatstudents may have enough prac¬tical experience to understandthe theory of their science bet¬ter? They cannot honestly be¬lieve the federal governmentwould give them a several hun¬dred dollar aviation course forthe bargain price of 40 dollarsat this time unless it needed tomake use of the results fairlysoon.It would be horrible to thinkAmerica’s security so much en¬dangered right now that start¬ing to turn educational in.stitu-tions into military schools isjustifiable. Strong evidenceshould be required for such amove. The evidence the news¬papers give does not convinceus that actual participation inthe European conflict is so im¬mediately unavoidable.Certainly the gravity of theinternational situation requiresthat America make her defensesmore adequate.

They do notseek to gain this glory through hardwork and service but through thecreation, for themselves, of importantsounding and therefore prestige-gain¬ing offices. Their actions can be out¬lined in the following manner.First of all, some Sophomore, withnothing else to do, called a meetingof the Freshman class to discuss or¬ganization. At this meeting therewere perhaps 150 Freshmen, approxi¬mately one-fifth of the class. Thissmall body of Freshmen, after longwTangling punctuated by the stalepuns of the aforesaid Sophomore, de¬cided that the Freshman class shouldorganize. This was done in a mere onehour and a half. Since there were somany “boy orators” at the meeting,very little was actually accomplished.The hundred and fifty Freshmen weregetting hungry so they adjourned un¬til October 17th.Of course when there is any meet¬ing called concerning the election ofofficers of any organization, there isalways a mob of office seekers thatattend “purely because of their inter¬est in the w'elfare of the class”. Thisusual quota of office seekers was pres¬ent at the October 17th meeting. Thenumber of Freshmen had dwindled toabout seventy-five. The main questionnow before this group was the natureof the organization to be formed. Themeeting was handled very nicely byour benevolent Sophomore who, whenit was best to use parliamentary law,used it. When it didn’t suit his fancy,he didn’t. This procedure was, ofcourse, welcomed by the majority ofthe office seekers, who wanted to de¬stroy any semblance of order by ad¬vertising their presence.I am not saying that all those pres¬ent at the meeting were desirous ofan honorary office for there may havebeen some innocent person whostrayed in by mistake.The only good reason for the Fresh¬man class organizing is for the pro¬motion of dances, luncheons, teas,etc. We can hardly say that there areany Freshmen in the University ofChicago that believe that a “govern¬ment” is necessary to promote suchaffairs. Is there anyone who believesthat a President, Vice-President, anda council of nine are necessary tosponsor a dance? Is there anyone whobelieves that an elaborate constitu¬tion is an integral part of a tea orluncheon ? Is there anyone who be¬lieves that elected representativeswith important titles are necessary todecide which way a toboggan slideshall run ?Even a Freshman isn’t that gullible!The point is that there are thosewho want the social prestige whichcan be gained by being President orCouncilman. There are those who be¬lieve that the more offices there arethe better will be their chance of get¬ting one of the fancy titles. And don’tforget those, bless ’em, who wouldlike to write home to mama and thegirl friend that they had been electedpresident of the Freshman class of theUniversity of Chicago. It is for thesepeople that one-tenth of the Freshmanclass decided to institute a govern¬ment, because the one-tenth presentat the meeting were the people whowant prestige.Since it is desirable that the Fresh¬man class sponsor a few dances orteas, then why not elect a small so¬cial committee instead of a fancyPresident and Supreme Council. Sincethe title of Social Committeemandoesn’t sound as important as Pres¬ident or Councilman, there would bea very noticeable drop in the interestof many “boy senators”. In fact the | TravelingBazaarOne of the campus’ most publicizedti'aditions is being broken. The SunV'^allcy election actually is being con¬ducted honestly, although there hasbeen evidence of campaigning.One hitherto unnoticed foreign-looking gentleman came up to the bal¬lot box at Cobb Hall and carefullycross-examined Marion Gerson. Aftershe had convinced him that that wasthe place to vote in the Sun Valleycontest, and that voting was going onthen, and that he could vote, heplunged his hand deep into the re¬cesses of his overcoat and pulled outa crumpled slip of paper. From thisslip he deliberately copied the namesClarabelle Grossman and Jim .\nder-son onto the ballot . . . Although theMaroon business staff interprets thisas evidence of oganized campaigningby Dekes and Mortarboards, the PhiPsi’s are sure that the unnamed gen¬tleman is a member of the Doke Ball-and-Chain gang, turned loose to per¬form his duty in a time of need.if * SfThe tradition of illegal contests isgoing to be further demoralized bythe Iron Mask Homecoming contestwhich is organized on an honest basis... Of the six girls who were public¬ly predicted to be members of the se¬lect eight announced today, only one,Punky Johnson, was a good guess . . .The gals, at least all except lastyear’s queen Jean Peterson, gave upa good hour of their time to satisfymetropolitan photographers at IdaNoyes yesterday afternoon.Bud .\ronson was feeling awfullywell at the Settlement-C-book dancelast Friday. He was in such goodspirits that, while celebrating in Han¬ley’s after the affair he made a datefor the I-F ball with a newly-madeacquaintance, Marjorie Goodman. Thenext day he didn’t feel quite as hap¬py; he felt especially low when hefound out that he had a date with agirl whom he couldn’t remember . . .In fact he was plenty worried untilshe was pointed out to him in the li¬brary, at which time he was so pleas¬antly surprised that he is now prac¬tically in love.To add insult to injury sociologyinstructor Everett C.

Law School Lectures ContinueAs Discussion of Greece End.< Oxford—(Continued from page one)Grene Traces Growth ofAthens into ImperialistDemocracy.Continuing the Law School’s publiclecture series, David Grene, instructorin the Greek departu .nt, concludedhis discussion of “Social and LegalProblems in Sixth and Fifth CenturyAthens” yesterday to a considerablysmaller audience than that which at¬tended his first lecture la.st week inLaw North.Briefly retracing the subject mat¬ter of his fir.st lecture, in which hehad analyzed the development ofAthens from a feudal, agrarian economy to a fledgling democracy, Gren(w’ent on to show the progress of th<Attic state to a full commercial democracy, which fell when the imperialist interests of its leaders btcame so pow'erful that they defeatcthe interests of democracy at home.Abandon “Natural Law”Fundamental, politically and philtsophically, to the growth of this dcmocracy and its final replacement ban oligarchy, w’as the abandonment othe “natural law” of sixth centur.Athens, and the acknowledgement othe “jungle law” which characterize!the fifth century. The first, which w’athe basis of all earlier legal and social developments of Athens, provideca certain irreducible minimum oequality for all Athenian citizens, ofwhatever class. Full equality was aconcept still far off, but at least jus¬tice, as the Athenians saw it, was theright of every man. As the imperial¬ists grew stronger, this concept wasreplaced by another and more brutalone.Jungle Law ConceptExpressed with amazing franknessin the Dialogues of Thucydides is the“jungle law,” the concept that the."Stronger shall rule the weaker, andthat the weaker shall accept whateverthis rule demands of them. “Mightmakes right” was glorified as a na¬tional system.From the period of the DelianLeague, later to become the Athenianempire, until the disastrous close ofthe Pelopponesian Wars in A.Sg^whenthe empire of Athens collap.sed andoligarchic Sparta was victorious, the.social forces which contributed this“law” were slowly but steadily under¬mining the theory and practice of(lemocraev in Athens.The first step In this fight is thefight again.st this war.

Sad tostate, the average Chicago studentdoes likewise to the extreme detrimentof Chicago’s reputation.Little do they realize that, with theexception of Minnesota, the Univer¬sity of Chicago has won more Con¬ference championships in the last 10years than has any other Big Tenschool. Nor do they know that thewater polo team has been eitherchampion or runner-up ever since itbegan. Nor that the fencing team haswon three straight Big Ten titles.|Nor that the repeated success of the:University gymnastics team grew sojmonotonous that there are only threeljother gym teams in the Conference, jiWith the view in mind of publiciz-ling Chicago with an eye to its sue-'cesses rather than its setbacks, aweekly column is being inaugurated,with fond hopes of including everysport except football until the variousteams begin competition.* ♦ ♦Headed by co-captains Joe Stearnsand Jack Bernhardt, the highly suc¬cessful water polo team is beginningits quest for its fourth consecutivechampionship. Augmented by 14 en¬thusiastic freshmen, the team is po¬tentially one to keep up Chicago tra¬dition. It is too early, however, tomake any exact prediction on theirseason.With such stellar performers asJim Anderson, swimming team cap¬tain, Bill Macy, Chuck Perry, ArtBethke, and several others, to set thepace, the team is looking pretty goodat this stage,* * *The merits of the fencing team havealready been enumerated in print. Thegroup of veterans headed by CaptainAlex George and Loyal Tingley isrounding into shape satisfactorily.The freshmen, most of whom nevereven handled a foil before this year,are still looking very ludicrous, es¬pecially when Coach Hermanson hasthem lunging at their images in themirror or when they are taking onthe defenseless dummy.* * *To keep up the optimistic tenor ofthis column, Coach Merriam believeshe has one of the best cross-countryteams in several years. The freshmenin particular look very good. Thereare about 12 of them out, and thecoach had a very happy gleam in hiseyes as he talked about Walter Fair-service, Ashton Roberts, Roy Randell,and Monteiz among others.In a practice meet with WrightJunior College last week, both varsityand freshmen competed with thepoints of the latter not being counted.Therefore, Wright won 17-19. SinceFairservice took third and Robertsfourth, Chicago would have wonhandily if the freshmen’s points hadcounted.>ii *Of the seven veterans working out,Chet Powell is the only one who isturning in fast times. The others areslowly but surely picking up, how¬ever.A freshman-varsity match Friday,the Loyola Invitational, November 10and a meet with Beloit November 11,are in the offing for the harriers. In¬cidentally, the freshmen are favoredover the varsity in their meet.>i< ii< *The wrestling team, pride of CoachVorres, is also progressing in fineshape. More freshmen with experi¬ence have reported this year than anyyear since Vorres can remember.Seven of the 12 who reported havehad experience and the other five al¬most make up for this lack with anoverflow of enthusiasm.Captain Colin Thomas heads agroup of 11 returning grapplers whichwill form the nucleus of this year’ssquad.I-M Games3:00 Delta Upsilon vs. Phi GammaDeltaBar Association vs. Jailbirds4:30 Psi Upsilon vs. Phi SigmaDeltaNu Beta Epsilon vs. Quad¬rangle ClubFreshmen vs. X.

Two “B”League games were played, Psi Urouting the Phi Psis 34-0 and theDekes outpointing the Phi Delts 14-6.The powerful and well-organizedPhi Delts romped at will over Chi Psieading 19-0 at the half. A razzlelazzle combination of laterals with’aul Archipley finally taking it overut over the first score and Daleinderson soon added another tallyn a pass from Bev Wilcox.A 100 yard run by Davidson fea-ired the Phi Psis win over Kappaigma. The Kappa Sigs threw a passver the Phi Psis goal which was in¬ tercepted by a Phi Psi who flippedthe ball to Davidson on the goal linewho then ran the length of the field.74 Yard RunPhi Kappa Sigma aided by a 74yard run by Moonie nosed out ZetaBeta Tau 13-12.
