WalgreenNoted for Philanthropy,Red Scare.By ERNEST LEISERMonday the University of Chicago’s“Uncle Charlie” died. Uncle Charliewas Charles R. Walgreen, gentlemanwho first got attention on theQuadrangles when he withdrew'his niece from the College, andgot an investigation of the Uni¬versity’s activities by the StateLegislature, and who next madeKaily Maroon headlines when heestablished a $550,000 founda¬tion two years later for the>tudy of American ideals andinstitutions.Lucky Mondae.Mr. Walgreen’s death bringsto the city recollections of thefounder of the Lucky Mondae,of the establisher of one of thebiggest chain of drug stores inthe country, of a dignified bu.si-ness man.But Uncle Charlie’s deathbrings to the University mem¬ories of one of its biggest donorsin a depression year, and a manwho two years before had caused theUniversity more wrath and troublethan any other single person.It was in 1935, a year of tremen¬dous depression, and of equally greatfear of the grow'ing power of com-iminists. As done every year, HarryGideonse had read passages from theCommunist primer, for analysis andfor criticism. But in former years,.Mr. (lideonse had not had Lucille Nor¬ton in his Social Science 1 class.Removed Niece•And so, on the very day that the.Maroon ran a banner and a stridentstory objecting to the fact that the.Xtnerican Legion had slugged six stu-(ients, Mr. Walgreen took his niece outof University classes, and said “Aschool should devote its attention tothe teaching of present economic prin¬ciples and not undermine the mindsof its students by considering radicaland dangerous doctrines.”Students rose up in aims at Wal¬green’s criticism, and “Uncle Charlie”was ridiculed regularly in the studentnewspaper.The investigation by the Legisla¬ture revealed little communism at theUniversity, and also pre.sented clearlythe administration’s attitude whichwas in effect, “We’ll teach what wethink is proper.”The incident ended, and talk aboutit gradually died out. But the stu¬dents were bowled over with surprisewhen, in 1938, Uncle Charlie againKeep Out of the WarCongress Holds Poll assumed the dignity of Mr. CharlesR. Walgreen, when he gave the Uni¬versity his endowment for a founda¬tion to be named after him.Such distinguished speakers asWalter Lippman and Eduard Beneshave been presented by the WalgreenFoundation.“Uncle Charlie”Student ForumMembers SpeakIn Three PlacesThree speaking engagements are onthe Student Forum schedule for thisevening.Jim Burtle will address a group ofworkers on, “The International Situa¬tion” tonight at 8 at the Plebian For-unij 34 S.

Kappa Sigma won oneas victor in the fraternity division.Mortar Board took one as winner ofthe girls’ club group, and Burton-Jud-son gathered in the third, offered forthe leader among the dormitories andindependent groups.The three winners had one realcompetitor each in their respectiveleagues. Kappa Sigma which collected39.9% of the votes cast in their com¬petition was followed by Phi SigmaDelta with 32.3% of the votes. Noother fraternity polled as much as oneper cent. Similarly, Mortar Boaid’sonly rival was Chi Rho Sigma whichfinished with 36.5% to the winner’s38.6%. Just to keep in line, Burton-Judson defeated 947 East 58th Streetin much the same way. The winningtotal was 31.5%, the runner-ups total¬ing 20.8%.It seems, from the awkward mannerin which the results of the contestwere announced, that the cigarettefirm was disappointed in the numberof ballots cast.Krieger DiscussesJohn Donne Tonight“John Donne and his Times” will beanalyzed from the Marxist point ofview tonight at 8 in Ida Noyes C,when the Science and Society groupmeets.Discussing the metaphysicist’s so¬cial milieu and the effect that it hadon his work will be Norton Krieger,literary critic, and member of theChicago Worker’s School.For those who are not members ofthe group, and who do not have af¬filiation cards, the admission will be10 cents.

By BILL HANKLAStale precedents and traditionswere thrown to the dogs and atransient renaissance of the breakfastritual was seen Sunday morning atthe Phi Psi House.For one brief moment in the streamof time breakfast was not the sullen,grouchy, sleepy row of mouldy bath¬robes it is known to be. The faceacross the table was not a distortedreflection of the night before, for thisSunday, funny-man, Edward EverettHorton was there gesticulating, gri¬macing, acting over Phi Psi sausageand egg. The brothers beamed.Joy for Phi PsisBrother Horton’s sojourn in Chica¬go has been a genuine joy for thePhi Psi boys. First he bestowed uponthem, each and every one, two ticketsto his current play, then invited a fewto lunch at the Palmer House, thenpicked Chuck Banfe for a two yearCo-op Service ChibElects OfficersSince their last two meetings werevirtually unattended, the officers ofthe Cooperative Services Club havedecided to experiment with electingtheir successors by mail. Present pres¬ident Dan Glaser is sending letters tothe members of the organization urg¬ing that they vote for new officersand drop their ballots in box 208 ofthe faculty exchange. As an aid invoting, the names of the presentmembers are being posted on the bul¬letin board. The deadline on voting isDecember 15.According to Glaser, the organiza¬tion offers great possibilities for sav¬ings in dry cleaning, laundry, shoe-repair work, and other services. Any¬one interested in joining the clubshould see Glaser or Gill Brown at5558 Ellis. job at $125 monthly, and then chal¬lenged star tennis man Bob Reynoldsto match racquets some day. All ofwhich has gone to convince the broth¬ers that Brother Horton still has .^smuch fraternal spirit as he rfid backin “06” at “dear old Columbia.”Warmed by this brotherliness theboys popped the breakfast invitation.And did Brother Horton accept? Thatisn’t the one-fourteenth of it, he evenbrought along the fifteen members ofhis company—publicity agents, busi¬ness managers, secretaries, actors,and husbands and wives. But gorgeousleading lady, Marjorie Lord was inthe crowd so the boys didn’t mind.They just divided their attention be¬tween Miss Lord and Mr. Horton’sspell-binding stories, and snappy jokesthat he got from Jean Harlow.Big KitchenBut it was a big shock when as theproud boys were displaying the mar¬vels of their ample quarters, a guestremarked that the kitchen of Mr.Horton’s summer cottage was largerthan the Phi Psis spacious livingroom.Boh Reynolds CallsMeeting to Plan PromWith his Social Committee layingthe groundwork for the biggest eventof the bright light league, the GeorgeWashington Prom February 21, BobReynolds announced yesterday therewould be a meeting Friday at 2:30 mCobb 308A particularly for independ¬ents.Appointments for interviews at thistime should be made with Miss Den¬ton in Cobb 203.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor; Bob LawsonTo Be Ladies and GentlemenIf Earl Browder speaks here next quarter,certain campus groups, we have heard, plan tocreate disturbances. By demonstrating againstan outstanding Communist leader these groupshope to convince the people of this countrythat the University’s student body utterly re¬jects the notion of anything tinged with thesubversive or unAmerican occurring on itsquadrangles.Before these plans go any further the DailyMaroon wishes to make clear its belief thatthey will accomplish none of the ends intended.Besides debasing patriotism to the level of pub¬lic relations cunning, besides repudiating theideals of freedom and progress both this coun¬try and this University stand for, such an ar¬tificially inspired outbreak will give the A-merican public an entirely false picture ofwhat is happening on our campus. And it willgive Communists the right to claim the sym¬pathy every liberal person has for martyrs.Right now Communists would relish whateversympathy they could get from liberal persons.All over the countrj^ the University has thereputation of being a great liberal and pro¬gressive institution. People expect our stu¬dents to be intelligent, advanced in their think¬ing, and even more unprejudiced about newand different ideas than the average Americanstudent. If the public hears that the intelligentadvanced young men and women who attendthe University of Chicago were so much dis¬turbed by subversive activities there that, inspite of all their well known tolerance, theyactually rioted against them, then the publicwill be justified in drawing the conclusion thatsuch an unusual effect must have been the re¬sult of a strong and provoking cause. Theywill think that there actually is much sub¬versive activity on this campus.The Maroon is just as much interested inproving that this school is American as thewould-be conspirators are. Only it takes Amer¬ican ideals too seriously to want to make itsproof at the cost of what makes us proud ofour country. Mob violence against Browderwould be worse than a breach of etiquette,worse than conduct unbecoming scholars, morethan a repudiation of the University’s pro¬gressive tradition—it would be a violation ofthe spirit of democratic liberty which thiscountry has enjoyed for almost 200 years. Thehorror of this violation lies in the fact that itw'ould be committed by the very people whoshould be most interested in preserving thisspirit, in making it even more meaningful andstronger than it has been.If the most intelligent and enlightened ofour citizens refuse to carry on the ideals offreedom and progress that lie at the base ofour government, who will? People have a rightto expect University students, as the best edu¬cated, to at least take their places as gooddemocratic citizens if not as leaders. Theywould be shocked if they knew that some ofour own student leaders, far from worryingabout improving the country, are on the vergeof rejecting what liberality exists in the statusquo.At a Joe College school riots against rad¬ical speakers might be expected. Where stu¬dents are accustomed to behaving like childrenit would be too much to expect reasonable con¬duct. But here students are supposedly adults.Because the University is known as an intel¬lectual institution the public has forgiven usour emphasis on the rational side of life, ourbad football playing, Mr. Hutchins’ speeches.It would be about as sensible for us to try toconvince people that we are really Joe Collegeas it would be for an elephant to pretend to bea racehorse. We cannot insult the intelligence of the American people this way for long.Those vvho plan to disrupt the Browdermeeting will say it is silly to charge them withmalice towards democracy: they will say theyare just acting as loyal and realistic studentsto preserve the good name of the University.We have already denied that the school’s goodname needs such preservation. We do not be¬lieve that anyone who carries out this childishplot will be acting as a gentleman, a scholar,or an American citizen.Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELStream of UnconsciousnessIt is 4 o’clock.

Yip!Letters To The EditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:Because I feel that the function of any campus news¬paper is to defend the best interests of the studentswhom it supposedly represents, 1 have offered my res¬ignation to The Daily Maroon.When the Maroon supported the lifting of the em¬bargo—in itself part of a well-organized movement onthe part of American monopoly capital to drag theUnited States into the war—Dave Martin, as chair¬man of the Board of Control, explained this stand onthe basis that the Maroon w’as interested primarilyin helping the Allies, and that “if our goods can’t doit, our men will have to.” This may be to the bestinterests of the British and French imperialists, buthardly to those of students.The Maroon’s handling of the Keep-Out-of-the WarCongress becomes more explicable in light of thisstatement.

The editorialwhich questioned the “appropriate¬ness of these (action) groups to theUniversity,” and David Martin’sstatement to the Tribune, whichmight be translated to read “Goahead, Mr. Dies,” should be sufficientevidence of this. Whether or not Mr,Martin’s statement bore the officialstamp of the Board of Control hasas little relevance as whether or notMr. Smith’s testimony before theDies subcommittee bore the officialstamp of the University. To all in¬tents and purposes, they spoke for theorganizations of which they are lead¬ing members.That the leading organ of studentopinion on this campus should thusbetray its potentialities for real stu¬dent leadership seems to me littleshort of a tragedy. But inasmuchas it has chosen to betray both thosepotentialities and the students whowould look to it to champion theirrights, it can only lose the supportof every progressive student, myselfamong them.Judy Peterson.The John MarshallLAWSCHOOLFOUNDED 1899ANaccreditedLAW SCHOOLTEXT and CASEMETHOD•For Cotoloa racom-mendad list of pra-legolsubiacts. and booklet"Sludyof lowond ProperPraporotion ' addrassiEdward T.

These decisionswere made at the annual winter meet¬ing of the Big Ten held in Chicagolast week.In event of violations of the codeConference schools may break off re¬lation.'-. with the offending school inthe particular sport involved, and “inflagrant cases of clear guilt” it maybe recommended that the Conferenceinvoke legislation to sever athletic re¬lations entirely -with an offendingschool.The revised twelve-point code ofconduct follows from a statement ofprinciple that “Intercollegiate athlet¬ics within the Conference are to beconducted on a non-paid-player basis”and that “no member of the athleticdepartment shall participate in therecruiting or subsidizing of athletes.’.’Define IllegalityAmong practices specifically definedas illegal were unearned financial aidto athletes, except from Universityfunds as properly administered schol¬arships, loans or tuition remissions,or from an immediate relative or onein similar position. Other sources ofunearned financial aid to athletes areto be considered prima facie as im¬proper, but a review by the local eli¬gibility committee finding some legi¬timate interest between the donor andthe athlete benefitted may overthrowthe prima facie conclusion.Earned financial aid to athletesfrom school funds must be for actualservices and on the same basis ofcompensation afforded non athletes.Initiation of personal contacts to in¬fluence choice of school by a prospec¬tive athlete, the promise of a job orassistance in finding work before aprospective athlete has been acceptedas a candidate lor admission to theschool, entertainment of prospectiveathletes at the expense of the schoolfunds and “tryouts” for prospectiveathletes, are specifically defined asimproper practices in the code. Another of the teams scheduled tolead Chicago out of the wildernessin which the football team becameentangled opens its season tonight.The water polo team, defendingconference champions, meets GriffethA. C. in the Bartlett pool, with thegame starting at 8:30. No admissionwill be charged.Since these two teams battled lastyear to two over-times before Chi¬cago finally put over the winningpoint, this game gives promise of de¬veloping into a grudge battle. Sev¬eral of the Maroons w'ere quite bat¬tered after the game last year anddo not think it was all accidental.Now that the team has rounded intofair shape, Chicago is slated to win,but not easily.The Maroons will be led into actionby co-captains Jack Bernhardt andJoe Stearns, with Jim Anderson’sbullet shot expected to play a big partin the scoring.
