Vol. 40, No. 57 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1940 Price Three Cents^^Human Adventure”SeriesReturnsF ebruaryPopular Program ShowsValue of Research Ac¬tivities.Changes broadening the initialpopular appeal of “The Human Ad¬venture/' produced by the Universityin collaboration with the ColumbiaBroadcasting System, will be in effectwhen the program returns to the airSaturday, February 3 at 4.The first and most successful ef¬fort by an educational institution tocapitalize on the unlimited possibili¬ties of radio in selling educationalvalues, “The Human Adventure’’ hasbeen shortened to one half hour toobtain added punch in the presenta¬tion of educational material on greatresearch. The program was conceivedby William B. Benton, vice presidentUniversity, and effected by ShermanDr>’er, radio director, and BrewsterMorgan, program director.Given an eight-week “Philadelphiaopening’’ last summer, “The HumanAdventure,’’ gained in less than twomonths a commanding national au¬dience. Its return for a 13-week pe¬riod is in response to this evidencedlistener interest. William B. BentonAdventure’s Conceiver Maroon Votes 2%Of Total ReceiptsTo University FundAt a meeting yesterday the Ma¬roon Board of Control voted unan¬imously to hand over two per centof its profits for this year to theUniversity’s Fiftieth AnniversaryFund.The two per cent is availablebecause there are only seven edi¬torial associates on the staff thisyear instead of the constitutionaleight. Because there was no de¬serving junior to elevate to thevacant post, the Board had de¬cided to use the extra two percent to award the hardest-workingreporter on the paper, but it re¬versed its decision because it de¬cided the University was moreworthy of support.La.st year, two per cent of theprofits meant $20. It is probablethat it will be considerably morethis year.David Martin, Chairman of theBoard, said “We want the moneyto be a token of the interest wefeel in the ideals for which theUniversity stands. More than thatit exists for us, its pioneering hasbenefited us, and we think it isonly just that we contribute to afund that will enable it to keeppioneering.”Six vital points of presentation arealtered in the new series of “TheHuman Adventure”. The amazing de¬velopment of radio is dramatized inthe first program in the series, on“The Usefulness of Useless Knowl¬edge.” Decision to limit each programto a single phase of university re¬search increases the unity of eachbroadcast. The episodes in the seriesopener tell the story of the “useless”research which laid the groundworkfor Marconi’s invention of radio aswell as for Ehrlich’s discovery of“salvarsan,” the treatment for syph¬ilis.Shortening of the show from onehour to one-half hour has two re¬sults: the speed and tone of the pro¬gram are heightened, and a larger(Continued on page three)Student AidGroup MeetsTo Plan WorkThe temporary committee for stu¬dent aid will meet again next Mon¬day at 2:30 in the Chapel basementto discuss more fully the problem ofaiding needy refugee students.At its last meeting the committeewas faced with the problems of de¬ciding how much aid was needed,whom to aid, and what responsecould be expected from a drive forcontributions. It was decided that allcampus-rai.sed funds should go spe¬cifically for student aid. The problemof refugee students already on cam¬pus was also considered and will bediscussed again at the next meeting.Rita Ransohoff, chairman of lastyear’s committee that raised theequivalent of $7000 for refugee aiddiscussed some of the difficulties thatfaced her committee and possibleways of overcoming similar obstaclesthis year. Also present at the meet¬ing was Mr. Paulson of the Interna¬tional Student Service who madesuggestions based on his experienceswith other campuses.All students interested in refugeeaid are urged to be present at thecommittee meeting next Monday. Thecommittee would especially like cam¬pus organizations to send delegates.The acting chairmen of the com¬mittee are Bob Boyer and Bob Koe¬nig.Washington PromFor the first time in its historythe Washington Prom committeeis issuing a call for freshmanworkers. At the same time a callfor sophomores was made again.Any members of either class in¬terested in working on the com¬mittee should report to BartlettGym at 4:30 today. Harper Forsees Closer AllianceBetween Germany and RussiaI Professor Samuel N. Harper is theUniversity’s best informed individualon a great number of things knowncollectively as Russia. Yet even he isi somewhat puzzled by the enigma ofthat country’s recent role in the dra¬ma of international politics.Last quarter, just as Russian-Fin-nish hostilities were breaking, he de¬livered a lecture on the Soviet’s for-jeign policy. In this discussion heI stated that the Russian policy was to; strengthen defenses and to weld moresecurely a Russian orbit free fromwar and foreign domination.Yesterday, when interviewed, heconsented to hazard .some fresh opin¬ions on more recent developments“A big development coming fromthe situation in Finland, which I donot exclude from pos.sibility,” he said“is a closer cooperation between theSoviet and Germany for the mutuallyimportant purpose of blocking theAllies from taking the war to theeast either through the Baltic or theBalkans.” What effect this will haveI on the complicating Italo-German al¬liance, Dr. Harper leaves as an openquestion.If asked why the Russian militarymachine has broken down so badly inFinland, Dr. Harper answers thatperhaps it hasn’t been so bad as pop¬ular belief would have it. “After all,”he says, “this war would not accu¬rately determine the true strength ofany army since it is being fought un¬der such extreme and difficult condi-Himiiiel AnnouncesCast of “^^Maisie”Director Richard Himmel yester¬day announced the cast for the DAWorkshop’s one-act play “Maisie.”There are only three characters inthe Ruth Goilroff story. The title roleof Maisie has been given to RuthAhlquist, who shared the femininelead in “Uncle Vanya,” Maisie’s next-door neighbor is played by veteranTerry Culangelo, who was the cro-chety old maid in “The Cat and theCanary” and Maisie’s husband, John,will be played by freshman RichardNystrom.Himmel began rehearals yesterdaywith his cast for the play, which willbe given, together with two otherone-act dramas presented by theFour Year College Playfesters, forthree days starting February 15.The other two plays will havePlayfester casts, but will also be un¬der the direction of DA Workshopmembers. Bob Cohn has started re¬hearsing with his cast for StanleyHoughton’s “The Dear Departed” andGeorge Schloss has begun work withhis Four College crew for “The Cor¬ridors of the Soul” a one-act playwritten by N. N. Evreinov. tions. Military experts tell me thatthe problem confronting the aggres¬sor army in this war is tremendous.However there can be no doubt thatby starting the war at this time, Sta¬lin made grave political and militarymiscalculations in his strategyagainst the Finns. The new ‘PeoplesGovernment’ which he created did notreceive the support expected, whilethe unity and spirit of the people be¬hind the Finnish Government sur¬prized him.”In describing the Moscow view¬point, Dr. Harper refers to Moscowpapers in which the people are beingtold that the action in Finland is amove for peace, designed to preventthe war which envelopes WesternEurope from spreading east. “Stalintells the people that the workers ofFinland are being oppressed by theiron control of the aristocratic Man-nerhiems, who in turn are but thetools of England and France.(Continued on page three)Inter-Club BallMoves to LakeShore ClubBy JACQUELINE CROSSAttention!

The councilfeels that the average senior who hascompleted a Liberal Arts educationknows little or nothing of the busi¬ness world and the opportunities itoffers. Most graduates are unawareof the many activities that make upmodern business and the special tal¬ents and preferences that make fora successful career.All The AnswersThe answers to these and otherrelevant questions will be given inthe series of talks. According to theplan formulated yesterday the firstspeech will deal with the subject ina general manner. The speaker willdraw a picture of the field of businessand the opportunities it offers forcollege graduates.The talks that follow will dealwith more specific cases in order thatthe student may judge for himselfif such work would interest him. Asthere will not be more than three orfour talks they will necessarily be ofa wide scope; it is planned to have aperiod for questions after the lectureto provide those interested with de¬tails not covered in the talk.Interview PracticeAnother service planned by thecouncil is practice interviews withthe speaker. It is believed that stu¬dents, by observing the technique ofothers, can acquire a better, thoughvicarious, experience.The talks have been tentativelyscheduled for Monday afternoons at3. The first one will probably occura week from Monday, and before thattime a schedule of speakers and sub¬jects will be announced.club, all arranged along the walls.Waiter service is to be provided, sothat aimless wandering and endlesssearching for the bar is now' a thingof the past. It all sounds quite prom¬ising!MIRROR TRYOUTSAnyone who wishes to dance aspeciality number, anyone whothinks he can sing, anyone withany kind of an act suitable forMirror is asked to try out at 2:30this afternoon in Mandel. Other University De¬partments Need Money.Pledges amounting to $135,512were announced at the gift dinnergiven last Thursday night at theDrake Hotel by the Alumni Founda¬tion. Actually only $39,000 was new¬ly pledged Thursday, for the remain¬der was unofficially promised to theAlumni Foundation before the din¬ner.Two gifts of $5000 topped the in¬dividual pledges. All reaction fromthe Fiftieth Anniversary Committeehas been favorable, since they con¬sider $135,000 plus a sizeable dropin the Foundation bucket, and theysay that this money is especially val¬uable since all money going into theAlumni Foundation is unrestricted.The University’s general budget iscrying for unrestricted money thatcan be spent at the rate of $600,000a year to cover the annual deficit.Sw'ift ServiceThe names of the individual donorshave not been revealed as yet, butwas implicitly restricted to alumni inthe Chicago district. The dinner wassponsored by Harold Swift, who issaid to spend eight hours a day asmeat packer and eight hours as trus¬tee of the University. According toJohn Howe, Vice-President Benton’sassistant. Swift, who is still a bach¬elor, chose between the Universityand a wife. He didn’t have time forboth.The recent Rockefeller Founda-tion-Clara Abbot gift of $2,500,000 tothe Biological Sciences Division tooka considerable strain off the GeneralBudget. Through this gift the Bi¬ological Sciences now run on a bud¬get of their own with extensive lee¬way for improvements.Needy DivisionsAlthough it was in greater need ofimmediate money, the other Divisionswould also appreciate a larger bud¬get, but it is unfortunately more dif¬ficult to acquire money for the otherUniversity departments. Biologicalresearch has a romantic appeal andseems to contribute to the improve¬ment of man’s existence more direct¬ly than research on the final “e” inChaucer’s masterpieces. As a result,of the eight million garnered by theUniversity this December, $4,500,000goes into the Medical School and theBiological Sciences.Prof. F. McNairDiscusses U. S.JapanRelationsHarley F. McNair, professor ofFar-Eastern History and Institutions,w’ill address the bi-weekly meeting ofthe Campus Peace Council this Thurs¬day in Social Sciences 122 at 3:30.His topic will be “Shall the UnitedStates Now Renew Its Treaty Rela¬tions With Japan?”The trade agreement between theUnited States and Japan expires thismonth, after having been condemnedlast June with the required sixmonths notice. Congress will soon becalled upon either to repudiate theagreement as a penalty for Japaneseaggression, or to renew the agree¬ment so that this country may retainthe commex'cial advantages of ship¬ping to a nation at war. ProfessorMcNair has been in Japan and else¬where in the Far-East, and will beable to give an authoritative view ofthe situation as it stands before Con¬gress.The Campus Peace Council is a dis¬cussion group which is made up ofdelegates from all interested organi¬zations on the quadrangles. No defi¬nite program is adopted since thisw'ould disqualify certain of the organ¬izations from participation. Discus¬sion is usually confined to peace pro¬posals.Bob Boyer, program chairman, an¬nounces that the meeting is open tothe public.

The DailyMaroon does not necessarily agree with the positiontaken vi the Bull Session.)It is obvious to anyone looking at the Fin-nish-Russian incident without a Stalinist visorrestricting his view that Russia has aggressedagainst Finland. Finland has resisted. Whatthen should be our policy in reference to thissituation.1.There are some w'ho feel that we shouldgive Finland all the assistance possible, mili¬tary and otherwise. Overlooking the effect ofthis on our internal situation, what would thisinvolve if we were victorious? I doubt whetherour generals would have the self control to stopat the “rightful” border of Finland. We wouldbe part of as rank an aggression as that of Rus¬sia now. If we were unsuccesssful the resultsare obvious.2.Mr. Hoover and his colleagues maintainthat we should help Finland with measuresshort of war. If these measures should carrythe Finns to victory and peace were finallyachieved, Finland would again be in the un¬comfortable position of not being able to de¬fend herself and therefore always being sub¬servient to one group of powers in order toprotect herself from another. However, ifthese measures should not assure victory to theFinns the investment made and the hysteriaworked up would lead to more and more assist¬ance being sent. If the Finns were completelycrushed before our soldiers got there, therewould be just that much investment gone downthe drain. Mortar Board PartyThere was a real brawl. Nearly everybody got drunk...or partly so at least. We’ve been told only threewere really in a bad way, but, having received ninety-two (by actual count) requests not to mention people’snames in that connection, we wouldn’t know. AndDickie Himmel won’t tell you tomorrow, because hewasn’t so sharp himself... .Greatest thing about theparty was the appearance of people-you-don’t-see-around-so-much - any - more - and - wish - you-saw - more-of,such as Ned Rosenheim, Betty Newhall, and SidneyHyman. Also Alec Webbe and Larry Palatz... .There' was a terrific stagline, not all Dekes this time, makingthe party successful at least from that point of view....The mere fact that Mary Lu Price took Deke PunkWarfield and not Psi U Bob Reynolds does not neces¬sarily indicate a Deke-Psi U feud over the MortarBoards, as so many people think. Both Dekes and PsiUs consider the idea silly, except Reynolds... .The aft¬er-party sally made by several Psi Us is rumored tohave been less successful than expected. Apparentlyit’s not true what they say about chorus girls....Inspite of all, we’re looking forward to the Sigma partythis Friday. Even if our invitation was only to comestag, at least it was personal....GabSince our note about Elsa Teller’s ability with bow-ties, Wally Angrist has started wearing them. He alsohad a wonderful idea, even if he does work for Pulse.Following the principles of Grauman's Chine.se Theaterin Hollywood, which keeps foot and hand prints ofcinematic greats impressed in concrete, .\ngrist hasstarted his now-famous Boulevard of Broken Dreams,consisting of old pairs of shoes donated by suchboulevardiers as Angrist, Florian, and Ruml. Himmel’saren’t dry yet, and Leiser’s are too dirty....Add sig¬nificant nominations: after long and careful considera¬tion, we hereby nominate the Hutchinson twins forone of the Washington Prom leaders because they’reboth BWOCs and also because we think it would bea good idea to have four people leading the function.To go with them we want John Davenport and BobWasem in memory of the days when Harper Library’sghouls stayed in the library... .In proof of our ideathat the Mortar Boards are not snobs, Mary Lu Priceis conducting a campaign to sell sweaters made by herown little hands. In proof of our idea that the .MortarBoards are snobs is the purpose of the campaign: atrip to Florida for one .Mary Lu Price. However, shestill wants to sell sweaters, and, if you want to gohome saying “A girl made this sweater for me,” she’sthe gal....We saw Ellie Tatge at Hanley’s Saturdaynight, with two dates and Harry Barnard. Later wesaw Ellie Tatge with Harry Barnard. Still laterwe saw her with two dates. A fourth male, unknownto us, accosted her with the remark, “You’re awfullycocky for a little girl.” Our girl blinked. “I’m not solittle,” she said, throwing out her chest.... There wasa blackout at Lake Geneva at ten-thirteen Saturdaynight. No air raid. Just a Psi U delegation party....Shag saw Ernie Leiser and moved toward him. Leiserflinched. Said Shag, “You’ve got good reflexes. You’dmake a good football player.” Leiser thinks so too.Too bad no more football....Due to circumstances beyond the control of any¬body, Earl Browder’s speech before the student body,scheduled for last Wednesday, has been po.stponeduntil January 20, 1944, or possibly earlier, if Mr.Browder can free himself from prior engagements(i. e., —comes the revolution). ASU MembersVote on RussoFinnishProblemLetters To The Editor3.Still another group wants to maintainofficial neutrality but to send all the aid we canraise privately. Granting that this sum wouldbe large enough to help at all, any militarybacking would only prolong the war, kill offmore men on both sides, and further instillhatred between the two groups.1. A fourth opinion holds that we shouldrecognize Russia as the aggressor, but other¬wise do nothing about the crisis. This at leastdoes not make the situation any worse, but itcertainly is not constructive.5. Another group feels that we should pro¬test our neutrality in ostrich fashion and re¬fuse even to make moral judgments lest vve bedrawn into the mess. Burying the nationalhead in isolationist sands, however, is not onlysuffocating to the national economy, but alsostultifying to the national intellect. There iscertainly a part for us to play in the interna¬tional scene, even though it is not in the fight¬ing6. A final group feel that we should help Rus¬sia. This program is based on the assumptionthat Russia is acting justly and rightly in at¬tacking Finland, which asumption very fewthinking people hold.In conclusion we find that all but one ofthese programs is harmful and that one, num¬ber 4, is inadequate. The evils, however whichattend military aid do not apply to civilian andmedical relief. Money should be given to theRed Cross and the American Friends ServiceCommission where it will do most to relievehuman suffering on both sides, and to generatethe goodwill on which a lasting peace depends.For those who want a part in internationalpolitics let them set up the machinery for ar¬bitration so tha hostilities will be stopped assoon as possible. With these two additions thefourth program then becomes positive, and stillneither endangers our neutrality nor suppress¬es our moral and intellectual judgments. A referendum to determine whatthe members of the local chapter ofthe ASU think about the Soviet-Fin-nish question will be held in the nearfuture. On the same question a reso¬lution was passed in the closinj? min¬utes of a meeting Friday which putsthe local chapter on the record asopposing loans or the sale of arms toFinland. Orijjinal proponents of thereferendum would have had it readthat the ASU condemns Soviet ag¬gression, but does not want this standto violate American neutrality.At the behest of some of the mem¬bership it was agreed that the ballotwill have provisions for those whowish to condemn Russia, those whowish to condone, and also for thosewho wish to neither condemn nor con¬done. A committee is working outthe wording of the ballot. Debate onthe poll took about an hour and ahalf. After the question was settled,people started to drift out of themeeting.Bud James, who addressed themeeting after the referendum wassettled, sharply criticized the mem¬bers for bickering about insignificantmatters and neglecting problems ofpressing human needs. James is aformer student and now is workingfor the Workers -•Mliance. He saidthe .\SU should be conceiming itselfwith the problems of 300,000 reliefclients in Chicago; and increased ex¬penditures on armaments at the ex¬pense of programs such as the WP.4.It was after James spoke, withabout two-thirds of those who hadbeen present at the beginning of themeeting gone, that the remainingmembership passed a resolution whichreads that whereas it takes attentionaway from social insecurity and hu¬man needs at home, the Chicago chap-:ter of the .ASU goes on record as'opposing loans or sale of arms to |P'inland. \A section of the Finnish referendumresolution states that the ASU doesnot condemn the entire Soviet socialexperiment.

On the contrary, the YCAW’ vigorously opposesgiving any nation at war, Finland and Russia included,aid to continue that war. In sharp distinction to thoseorganizations which vacillate in their war position ac¬cording to who is doing the fighting, the A’CAW urgesa program of rigid US neutrality in all wars raging inthe world.The YCAW’ warmly endorses non-partisan civilianrelief projects in war areas such as are carried on bythe American Friends Service Committee. All thoseinterested in genuine civilian and refugee aid to vic¬tims of war can send their contributions to the AFSC,20 South 12th Street, Philadelphia, in full confidencethat no part of them will be used to help any nationto continue its war, but only to alleviate the distressof non-combatants.The YCAW has taken no stand on the activities ofthe aid to F’inland group on the campus. Neither didit send any representative to Mr. Randall to protestthe aid to Finland posters placed on the Reynolds Clubbulletin boards, although individuals, including myself,did so. The posters were in not an appeal for civilianrelief, but were propaganda for help to Finland tocarry on its war. The posters were double the sizepermitted, they did not announce any meeting or reliefdrive, nor did they carry the name of any organization,which are regulations made for the protection nfreaders and users of the bulletin boards. If campusgroups keep the restrictions which all others follow,then there is no ground for protest.But I think it possible that the YCAW may criticizethe aid to Finland group unless it defines its objectivesj to be strictly those of aiding civilians, and no funds go !for any kind of military aid. Neither has a group the |j right to use the humanitarian cause of civilian reliefI as an opportunity for spreading pro-war propaganda ![ to help either Finns or Russians. iI (Continued on page three) ' The New 1940 EditionComplete, Up-to-the-minuteExplains this year’s manyimportant changesYOURINCOME TAXHow To Keep It DownAn invaluable aid in making out yourIncome Tax report.$1.00FOR SALE ATIJ. of C.

PECKClaire Coci, pronounced in the I-talian fashion, is one of the city’sprincipal artists of the week. Beau¬teous, twenty-six, she cbmes to playon the University Chapel organ thisevening at 8:15.Starting with the Jesuits in NewOrleans at sixteen. Miss Coci has pre¬sented her talents all over the IJ.S.with success. Such varied spots asMiami and Grand Rapids havepraised her Toccata and Fugue in DMinor of Bach, with which she openstonight’s concert.Continuing, she will play such well-known pieces as Bach’s My Heart isFilled with Longing and Now Rejoiceyr Christians, Widor’s Toccata fromthe Fifth Symphony, Franck’s Fan-tnsie in A Major, and Dupre’s Pre-ludc and Fugue in G Minor.♦ * ♦Mr. Solomon demonstrated lastweek almost statistically his great tal¬ents as a conductor. On Mondaynight, his orchestra, under alienhands, split up into little pieces; andon Tuesday night, the Woman’s Sym¬phony, which showed itself weak inindividual playing, united under hisdirection to give a forceful presenta¬tion of Rachmaninoff’s Island of theDead.The latter .selection, which goes toprove that .\rnold Boecklin’s bar¬room painting does not lead to whis¬key music was full of mournful andsavage loneliness, appreciated by theorchestra.The show piece of the evening,Pizzeti’s piano concerto, Canti dellaStagione Alta, was played with dra¬matic faith by visitor Alexander Kel-berine, but he»could not hide Pizzeti’sshallowness. The first movement“moving fervently but with spaciousbreath” plodded dully. An attempt atrhic was made by writing it in themodes.Hut Mr. Kelberine found a muchmore happy medium for his romanticplaying when he tackled the DanseMacabre of Liszt.* * *Dr. Stock and the Chicago Sym¬phony have Nathan Milstein as theirvirtuoso of the week. This afternoon,the violinist will play Dvorak’s con¬certo, and Stock will give Scriabin’sThird Symphony. Thursday’s allTschaikowsky program should be ex¬tremely exciting, and Mr. Milstein’svirtues need no introduction.* * *Some opera. The Tales of Hoffman,comes off tonight at the Auditorium;some more in the opera concert at thesame place on Friday. Biggest songrecital of the week, and to .some oneof the best of the season, is MarionAnderson’s appearance on Sundayafternoon.Human Ad.—(('ontinued from page one)cast is necessary. The University ofChicago and Columbia BroadcastingSystem found it difficult to sustainthe tension desirable in the programfor a full hour; in consequence thepace was increa.sed and decreasedseveral times in each of the summerbroadcasts. Within the limits of theshorter program tempo will be heldat a higher pitch because it is un-l»roken.The largest cast for the shortenedshow is necessary because the dupli¬cation of actors feasible in a longprogram is more easily detected bythe listener in a thirty-minute pro¬duction.Further clarity in the new series isachieved by lengthening the timeallotted to each episode and decreas¬ing the number of episodes in a sin¬gle broadcast. Listeners now receivea fuller story and have to make few¬er transitions from one dramaticscene to another. Each show includesa maximum of two episodes; oneprogram is to be confined to a singlestory, a dramatization of the originof the earth.The Saturday afternoon spot ar¬ranged by CBS for the University ofChicago it is believed will reach alarger number of listeners than theTuesday evening time previously al¬lotted to “The Human Adventure.”The Saturday afternoon shows fol¬low the Metropolitan opera broad¬cast.An “editor” will replace the “man-on-the.-street” who previously carriedthe continuity of the show. Producersof the Human Adventure have con¬cluded that interpretation of the dra¬matic episodes requires a more ma¬ture voice and that the “man-on-the-street” interrupted the rapid paceend high tone of the program. Williams Pinch HitsFor Chapel SpeakerReinhold Neihuhr De¬layed by SnowboundTrain.For the first time in its history,the Chapel was forced to make a lastminute change in its speaker lastSunday.Don Williams Jr,, assistant pro¬fessor of Theology in the ChicagoTheological Seminary, who was toconduct the service was waiting inthe Quadrangle Club for ReverendReinhold Neibuhr, one of the Chapel’smost outstanding scheduled speakersof the year, whose engagement hadbeen arranged several months before.When Dr. Neibuhr failed to appear,Williams was faced with the only al¬ternative of delivering a seimonwhich he had only one hour to pre¬pare. Ordinarily Dean Gilkey of theChapel could probably have substi¬tuted for the missing speaker, butGilkey happened to be on a speakingtrip in the East.Although most Chapel sermons areprepared over a rather extendedlength of time and most Chapelspeakers are older and more experi¬enced than Williams, the sermon wasevidently appreciated by the congre¬gation. The Chapel has since re¬ceived several requests for printedcopies of Williams’ sermon. Reverend Neibuhr, whose train hadbeen unavoidably delayed in a snowstorm arrived at 1 in time for dinnerat Gil :eys and was able to keep anengagtment at the Sunday EveningClub that night.This is Williams’ first year in theSeminary. He was formerly Dean ofthe Chapel in Colorado College wherehe completed his undergraduate edu¬cation and took his graduate w'ork inColumbia University, Union Theolog¬ical Seminary, and the C.T.S.Letters-(Continued from page two)In all fairness to the campus, theaid to Finland group owes the publica statement of precisely what itsobjectives are, and a careful adher¬ence to these objectives.

I doubt ifall elements in the Baltic states havelost faith. Men such as Chamberlain,and Churchille for obvious reasons,are happy for a chance to discountthe soviet,” he says.“But there is a lot of loose think¬ing these days. For example, peopleare often heard discounting com¬pletely the Russian military machineand in the same breath predictingthat it will sweep over Norway andSweden. In their exhuberance to con¬demn Russia conservatives some¬times fail to make sense.”Surprising is Dr. Harper’s beliefthat if the Russian military machinebreaks through at all it must be be¬fore spring. “Those who predict thatwhen spring comes Russia will haveno difficulty in rolling over theFinns, forget that when the snowsbegin to thaw, mud and water willpractically paralyze a mechanizedarmy.”TYPEWRITERSAll MakesSOLDTRADEDREPAIREDRENTEDPORTABLES OR LARGECASH OR TERMSWOODWORTH'SBOOK STORE1311 E. 57th St. Open EveningsNear Kimbark Ave. Dorchester 4800I $ MONEY $ MONEY |$ MONEY $ MONEYThe Daily MaroonBusiness StaffOUers:Newspaper TrainingPractical Business ExperienceContactsCommissions. •. and the opportunity to workup to head aI $10,000 a Year BusinessSEE—Harry Topping any day after 4:30^ DAILY MAROON OFFICE—LEXINGTON HALL Page ThreeDavis EdwardsGives Reading atArt InstituteDavis Edwards will give a lecturereading of T.

His newest play has beenproduced in London, but has not yetreached the United States. It is aunique combination: the Orestes plotmotivated according to contemporarypsychiatry in a twentieth century set¬ting with colloquial speech and Greekchoral effects.

The Midway quintet flashedthe best form they have shown sincethe Utah game, and their showingbodes a return to the form whichthey have shown in the past.Stanley PerformsIn particular the playing of CarlStanley and Ralph Richardson gaveevidence of the Chicago team’s abilityto fight, and to play the more com¬petitive type of ball which shouldbring victories to them. The Maroons' played with a man-to-man defense,and showed that they can play thatdefense, as well as the zone whichthey have used more often. On of¬fense, they still fail to take advantageof all the opportunities which theycreate. For example, despite the factthat Richardson did continually breakpast his man, on only one occasiondid he draw a pass from a teammate.The Chicago team, which trailed20 to 13 at the intermission, scoredonly one field goal during the secondhalf, by Art Jorgenson. Jorgenson,incidentally, was the only player tobe expelled on personal fouls, despitethe fact that there were 24 misde¬meanors called by the officials duringthe evening.Five Pool RecordsSet as SwinimiiigTeam Wins 45-30Five pool records were made at theChicago North Central meet Satur¬day at Naperville. Chicago was re¬sponsible for three of them—the med¬ley relay, 200 yard free-style, and100 yard breast-stroke.Bethke took the 100 yard breaststroke with the time of 1:11.1; Ar¬gali the 200 in 2:16.7; and the relayteam consisting of Jordan, Bethke,and McCollum won the event with thetime of 1:28.6.Henning of North Central madeboth the other records in the 100 yardfree-style and the 100 yard back-stroke with the times of 54:4 and1:02.5, respectively. Chicago had abad break in the backstroke event.Stein, due to some car trouble on thehighway was late and contractedcramps while he was swimming. Inspite of this, it was he who droveHenning to the pace which won theevent.As for the other events, Chicagotook the 200 yard relay, while NorthCentral won the remaining 50 yardfreestyle and diving events.Varsity ScoreIn Class MeetThe varsity were victorious, 56-30,in the interclass track meet with thefreshmen Friday as Coach Ned Mer-riam reviewed his charges before theindoor track season formally opens.Among the freshmen, however, RayRandell, Doc Kanause, and Don Con¬ners showed promise.
