Bailp iHaroonVol. 40, No. 60 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1940 Price Three CentsVan Doren Talks OnAmerican Imagination Union Votes FinnishLoan for Russian WarTraces Formation ofAmerican Mind fromColonial Times.“M^ is unlike animal mainly be¬cause of his power of imaifination,and ‘The American Imagination’ aremerely human ideas conditioned bycircumstances in the United States,”said editor, reviewer, and author CarlVan Doren, before a large audiencein Mandell Hall last night. Mr. VanDoren lectured under the auspices ofthe William Vaughn Moody Founda¬tion. Mingling many anecdotes ofcolonial days with his own experi¬ence, he traced the formation of theAmerican mind from the earliestcolonial days to our own time.The original colonies felt that theywere more closely related to themother country, than to their neigh¬bors, and it was not until the middleof the eighteenth century that thefirst thinkers and writers began tovisualize themselves as independent.This feeling gradually grew strongerreaching a culmination after the rev¬olution. Mr. Van Doren pointed outhere that George Washington was theepitome of this fight for indepen¬dence, and that he was symbolized byboth the great and the small of histime. Herein lies the first real imag¬ination in relation to the people ofthis country.However, by no means could theinhabitants of the United States vis¬ualize themselves as purely Amer¬icans, in contrast to Englishmen, un¬til after the Civil War, or even later.A good example of the change isshown in the cartoons of the pre-Civil War periods and those of 1914.In the former we were pictured asrural, lean, tough, village dwellers.Today and twenty years ago cartoonsof Uncle Sam are somewhat stouter,with a bland look of self-composureand self-assurance, much like thecity-dweller. This transition was andhas been made without our consciousknowledge.Much in the same way different pe¬riods of our civilization have beenwritten about in many ways. For ex¬ample, at the turn of the century, thepioneers were pictured as heroic set¬tlers, drawn to the West by the lureof romance. Today we see them in adifferent light. We see their hard¬ships, the sufferings they were forcedto endure, and the reasons they hadto endure them. Another factor arisesin the more recent question of isola¬tion. At one time there was no debate(Continued on page three)Willey, Wilson,And Wirth SpeakOn Round TableThree expert observers will facethe University of Chicago Round Ta¬ble microphone Sunday in a discus¬sion of the problems which surroundthe American Jew, and Jews all overthe world. The topic for the discus¬sion is “The Jews” (1:30—NBC RedNetwork).Louis Wirth, associate professor ofSociologfy and Malcolm Willey, pro¬fessor of Sociology and universitydean of the University of Minnesotawill be two of the participants in theprogram. The third speaker will beJohn A. Wilson, director of the Or¬iental Institute.With prejudice and misunderstand¬ing dominating much thought con¬cerning Jews throughout the world,the Round Table will devote its dis¬cussion to some of the obviously fal¬lacious legends about this group.Among these, the proven fact thatthe Jews are not a race but a cul¬tural g.'oup, will be discussed.Forum MembersAddress Optimist ClubStudent Forum members will ad¬dress the Optimist Club, which iscomposed of business men, at a noonluncheon today in the La Salle Hotelin a Round Table on the topic, “Unit¬ed States, and the Next Peace.” Theyare, Joe Molkup, Jim Engle, JoshuaJacobs, and Margaret Zimmer.Don Leverage will discuss “TheNazi,” before the Wesley Leagueyoung people in the Hyde Park Meth¬odist Church, on Sunday at 7:30. Merriam TellsPlan to ElectDave EichnerThe organization plan for the pro- jgressive Democratic Club was ex¬plained yesterday by Chairman BobMerriam.In order to effect the election ofDavid Eichner as Ward Committee¬man of the Fifth Ward this spring,the executive committee of the clubhas divided the University studentbody into functional groups, with astudent leader assigned to marshalthe votes in each group. The func¬tional units will be the Universitybuildings. Each building on campuswill have its “captain.” Every cam¬pus organization will also have a cap¬tain.The group captain will have spe¬cific functions to perform. They willdetermine the number of eligible vot¬ers in the organization to which theyare assigned, will see that eligiblevoters register for the election, to seethat registered voters actually voteon election day.The student members of the clubwho want to broaden their activitywill be welcome to do so. ChairmanMerriam declared. They will be as¬signed to precincts in the Univer¬sity neighborhood and will carry ontheir work in conjunction with boththe new Progressive Democratic Cluband with the Fifth Ward Independ¬ent citizens committee.From the group captains, largercommittees will be formed to handlegeneral matters such as publicity,transportation, and finance. Appoint¬ment of the group captains will beginat once. People who want to work for“Eichner and good government” areasked by Merriam to contact him atAlderman Paul Douglas’ office at1464 East 67th Street.W. Loyd Warner, Associate Pro¬fessor of Anthropology and Sociology,made a study of the Australian abori-ginies several years ago while atHarvard University. Upon his returnhe and several other people decidedthat it would be extremely interestingif an anthropologist made a study ofan American town. This idea was car¬ried through and two towns, one inthe north which will be called Yankeetown and one in the south which willbe called Deep South, were selectedfor the survey.Comparative HappinessWhen asked about the differencesin people Warner remarked, “All peo¬ple live pretty much the same kind oflives.” Referring to the aboriginies hesaid, “Although we have a more elab¬orate technology, people as a wholein simple societies tend to be happier.He felt that what modern society hadgained in technological progress itlost in humor and happiness.Ellis Co-op OffersCheap Mimeo ServiceStudent organizations or individ¬uals wishing to educate, propagan¬dize or merely see their names inprint can now make use of the EllisCo-ops new non-profit mimeograph¬ing and stencil cutting service.The prices on this work which areintended to barely cover costs oflabor and supplies have been set at36c per 100 sheets and 60c per stencilcut.

Gay NinetiesSee BeginningOfAnnualPromThere is some history not moti¬vated by economic or political ambi¬tions but by social impulses of thewhite tie and tails variety, such asthat of the Washington Prom.The purpose of the annual dance,instituted in 1893, was, as the leadersstated that year, to “furnish a breakin the tedium of studies and generallybring the university closer togetherby means of a spirit-rousing dance.”On that premise the managers ofDORSEY’S SINGERthe prom stressed the rah rah elementhighly. They originally planned theschedule to include a dinner at 12 inHutchinson Commons after dancing16 or so numbers, in Bartlett Gym.In the course of the evening the entireassemblage would form in a largeChicago “C” at 10:06 and sing theAlma Mater to the accompaniment ofthe Reynolds Tower chimes.From a 1911 edition of the Maroonit is learned that the leaders wouldbe chosen “as in the past, on the basisof their outstanding service in ac¬tivities to the school.” That conven¬tion is one of the many which hascarried through to the present. It isinteresting to note they were callingbig campus powers by the same ab¬breviation then as now, BM andBWOC’s.Two old American communitieswere selected, where life was com¬paratively stable, in which there wasa typical New England social setting,and where there was a typical South¬ern social setting. Two books, theresults of this study, are now in theprocess of publication.Yankee City“Yankee City” will be published bythe Yale University Press this fall.The work on this survey was financedby Harvard University and the WPA.Yankee City, a town of 17,000 per¬sons, was studied over a period offive years primarily as an analysis ofclass behavior in a modern northerncommunity.“Yankee City” was written by War¬ner, Paul Lunt, Jay O. Low, and LeoSorole. Persons working on the studymoved into the community, told whatthey were there for, and proceeded tomake an analysis of everyone andeverything.

Maroon ChecksPulse PollOn Football BanBy DAN MEZLAYFootball may be dead as far asour Saint who advised us to spreadthe gospel is concerned, but it stillbobs up in many campus bull sessions.A question that frequently comes upis this. How' many students favorHutchins’ attitude toward footballand how many do not? Another ques¬tion that could be asked may run inthis vein—How many students wereinffuenced by Hutchins’ address inMandel in their opinions in regardto the abolition of football?Pulse PollAccording to a football poll lastmonth by Pulse, which Pulse did notuse, students were overwhelminglyin favor of the continuance of foot¬ball and in addition, to subsidizeplayers who were scholastically ad-missable to the University. The Pulsepoll was taken before the abolitionof Maroon football.To answer the above questions, andsome other ones pertinent to the pig¬skin sport, and to students, the DailyMaroon will sponsor a student foot¬ball poll as an experiment, with theaid of the Pulse poll, to see if ourprexy is as good a sale^an as somany say he is. Such a poll will beheld next Wednesday with pollingplaces at Mandel Corridor and CobbHall.McNair SpeaksOn Japan BeforePeace CouncilBy BILL HANKLATonight at midnight, the UnitedStates 29-year-old trade treaty withJapan will no longer exist. Its abro¬gation by the United States brings toa head a long-growing tension inAmerican-Japanese relations, in theopinion of Harley MacNair, Pro¬fessor of Far-Ea.'t;ern History andInstitutions. Japanese retaliation inthe foi-m of threats and protests, saysDr. MacNair, “is just high-pressurebluff, which Japan has tried so manytimes on this country with varyingdegrees of success.”Dr. MacNair spoke yesterday be¬fore the Campus Peace Council.“There are many reasons for ourso-called strained relations with Ja¬pan,” he said, “and these reasons havea long and interesting history. Offi¬cially our relations have always been‘friendly’, that is there has been nodiplomatic break. Never-the-less Ja¬pan’s policies in China have often pro¬voked strong disfavor here, and publicopinion has gradually grown morecritical, especially since 1931. Whatwe shall do to Japan now that thetreaty no longer stands in the way, Icannot say. I am a historian, not aprophet.”Dr. MacNair explains that Ameri¬can policy in the Far East has forclose to 160 years been based uponcertain fundamental principles. Theseprinciples are chiefly embodied in ourconcepts of territorial and administra¬tive integrity of Far Eastern states,and in ‘The Open Door’. Agreementin general to these principles with re¬lation to China was obtained in the‘Nine Power 'Treaty’ to which Japanwas signer in 1922. “Yet she continuesflagrantly to violate them. It is nowonder that the United States in re¬cent years has become increasinglyunsympathetic toward militarist-dom¬inated Japan,” he says.“Up to 1905 Japan and the UnitedStates were on good terms.

Political Union, by a voteof 13 to 14, passed a resolution whichdeclared, “The Political Union favorsa 60 million dollar loan to Finland inorder that it may carry on its warwith Russia.” 'The vote originallywas a tie, 13 to 13, but Charles Crane,president of the Union, broke the tieby deciding in favor of the loan. Themeeting was held in Law North yes¬terday afternoon.Two amendments were proposedand passed by unanimous vote. Withthese amendments the Political Unionis designed to encourage consistentpolitical thinking and more intensiveand better defined debate.Cabinet GovernmentThe new set-up includes the forma¬tion Of party platforms by the threeexisting parties—Liberals, Conserva¬tives, and Radicals. The party in themajority will form the government ofthe Union. The government will ap¬point a cabinet which will defend theplatform of the majority party. Mi¬nority parties will maintain partyplatforms with which they will at¬tempt to replace the party in power.It is expected that the minority par¬ties will form a coalition which willcriticize and use every legal means tooverthrow the existing cabinet. Re¬defining of party platforms will benecessary as current political eventsnecessitate changes. The leader ofeach party will call a caucus to makethese changes.Executive CommitteeAn Executive Committee will becreated to act as administrative headof the Union.

IfMichigan, Ohio State or Minnesotadisplayed the same calibre of work¬manship on the football field that isshown on these canvasses they wouldbe relegated to the minor leagues.Now if some of these college pres¬idents or alumni groups would do alittle proselyting in the better gar-etts and art colonies to subsidizesome first class material, we couldsee some real competition, profes¬sional stuff. As it is the representa¬tives of Big Ten art can walk armin arm with Chicago’s losing athleticteams and bask in the simon purelight of the amateurs.Relatively speaking, however, Chi¬cago can hold her head with the bestof them. David Seyler’s now familiar“Dalmatian Donkey” is by far thebest piece and the only promise oforiginal talent, while Helen Haugh-ten’s view of a rocky hillside is skill¬ful and craftsmanlike. The third Chi¬cago contribution, a bizarre bit ofstill life is the most eye catching ofthat type of conglomeration.Northwestern contributes its usualsimple and effective outdoor scene inbright color while Iowa comesthrough with its three samples ofGrant Wood and his very painstak¬ing technique.

Rubins, John Stevens,Hart Wurzburg, Marian Castleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Demarest PolacheckAssistants: Eileen Murphy and Jacqueline CrossA Student ActivityCircumstances apparently out of our con¬trol make it advisable for us to give the cam¬pus a clear account of where responsibility forthe production of the Daily Maroon lies.We should prefer not to waste our timewith this statement. Our space is valuable andwe can use it for more interesting matters.Furthermore, we consider it really unnecessarythat the entire campus be reminded of whomit may rightfully hate and legitimately prose¬cute for anything it objects to in this news¬paper. We consider the Daily Maroon a studentactivity. It is run entirely by students pd hasonly amateur standing. As such, it is justifiedultimately by the fun it furnishes those whoparticipate in it. It should not be blamed forprofessional faults. Our present constitution isquite adequate for the regular production ofa respectable student newspaper.Lest there be any confusion, however, aboutwhat the Daily Maroon is and whom it repre¬sents, we shall proceed with our explanation.As we have mentioned before, the Maroonmakes no claims to professional perfection. Itattempts to print whatever news student re¬porters can uncover, as accurately as thesestudents can write it. In reviews, columns,editorials, letters, and bull sessions it presentsopinion as well as fact. Except in a few rarecases when guest contributors write, the opin¬ions are those of students.If errors appear in statements of fact, it isthe Maroon’s duty to print corrections whenthe mistakes are called to our attention. Werely on the injured and more informed partiesto let us know when we make such errors. Weare sure that we cannot, even with a good will,avoid making them. We are fairly certain,moreover, that not all the opinions we printrepresent absolute truth. Therefore, we invitedisagreement. Only limitations of space pre¬vent us from printing all the controversial let¬ters we receive. When we present signed re¬views and columns, we mean to indicate by thesignature that the article expresses only anindividual view. If these individual viewsseem unjustified to anyone who can show theyare wrong, we shall print his letter. The onlyforce of the opinions we publish lies in thepower of the arguments advanced for them. Ifthere are no reasons given, then no matterhow cleverly the opinions may be stated, weexpect our audience to be sufficiently intelligentand mature to treat them with the lightnessthey deserve.Ultimately, all responsibility, even for theappearance, though not necessarily for agree¬ment with the content, of anything written inthis paper devolves onto the Board of Control.Five students compose the present Board; amajority of three can decide issues. All fivestudents are responsible for whatever thepaper does: each has one vote. Though twomay have cast dissenting votes, they are stillofficially responsible for the Maroon’s policies,just as a Republican senator is responsible forthe policies of the United-States under the pres¬ent administration, or as President Rooseveltis responsible for executing laws passed by anundocile Congress.We shall consider it morally contemptiblefor any member of the Board to avoid the con¬sequences of our activities by saying officially:“Well, you can’t blame me. I voted against itbut the other three or four wouldn’t listen.”But when he speaks personally, we do not carewhat he says. It would be shocking indeed ifparticipation in an undergraduate activityshould become so serious and all-absorbing asto permit the participant to be no longer ahuman being and a student with a right to hisown thoughts, but should make him merely apart of an official machine. This would be smallrepayment for the service we perform for the campus, and would take all the joy out of ourwork.Though the whole Board is responsible forthe whole paper, the different members decideon different kinds of issues which may nevereven come to a vote unless one of the membersobjects to the way another is conducting hisaffairs. So that the campus may know whatindividual students it may protest to aboutwhich, we shall tell how our labor is divided.David Martin is chairman of the Board. Hecalls meetings to order, signs contracts, andacts as a general coordinator. He is responsiblefor carrying out policies decided by the ma¬jority even though his vote may have been adissenting one. As copy editor, he checks every¬thing that goes into the paper. Alice Meyer,editorial writer, is responsible for official Ma¬roon policies, and for all except initialled edi¬torials. Ruth Brody, news editor, is responsiblefor getting the facts covered, and for assigningstudents to their beats. The make-up editor,Harry Cornelius, decides where stories areplaced in the papeV. None of these four peopleoperate on the sports page, which is in thehands of the sports editor. Bill Grody. All fiveprobably err often, but not habitually.We have found this form of organizationsatisfactory for the service we try to give thecampus, and for our own enjoyment of thiswork.Traveling BazaarBy Himmel - StevensUnion TeaEasily the most notable social event of last after¬noon (at least between 3:30 and 6) was the ChapelUnion tea.

It was more or less in theposition of the little ‘Sunday schoolboy’ with Uncle Sam as the ‘teacher’.After Japan defeated Russia in 1906it faced the turning point in its his¬tory. Would it follow a liberal co¬operative policy toward China afterits great American helper, or wouldit follow the example of the exploit¬ing, warring, expanding Europeanstates? It chose ^e latter.“A majority of the people of theUnited States have heartily condemnedthe present Japanese agression inChina, which Japan chooses to callthe ‘China incident'.” Why then havewe not applied pressure on Japan?An explanation of this involves manyelements. Certain people in Ameri¬ca have made money by selling cotton,scrap iron, and earlier, bombers tothe Japanese. Such individuals seemto find it easy to disclaim moral re¬sponsibility. ‘If the Japanese wantto buy our materials, what they dowith it is their business not ours’, isthe typical attitude. However, publicopinion has been taking a more criti¬cal view recently,” Dr. MacNair be¬lieves, ‘‘especially since Americanshave been discovering that Americanproperty both private and national isbeing bombed by American-boughtmaterials.“1116 Japanese have two favoritenotions about Americans. To themwe are money chasers and confirmedpacifists. By waving a dollar theybelieve they can get what they wantfrom us. When the trade treaty wasabrogated they were amazed, andwere dazed when the Americanswouldn’t talk of instant renewal.

Dr. MacNair onlysays that with the trade treaty nolonger in the way our governmentDOW sits tight, letting Tokyo do theworrying. The way is now open foran embargo if the government de¬cides to impose it. In such an eventthe United States has comparativelylittle to lose, but Japan a great deal.Big Ten Art—(Continued from page one)water color.

At one time, beforethe war, $2.60 was thought sufficient,but in the boom year of '29 it re¬quired $4.40 per couple. At presentthe medium between these two figureshas been reached at $3.76.Speaking of the ’29 edition ofWashington’s celebration, there is alittle note about the favoritism shownto top notch university luminarieswho led the prom. One Harold Hay-don, leader of the right wing of theGrand March, was scheduled to runin a track held at Michigan the fol¬lowing day. The time of the Marchwas moved up from 12 to 11 so Hay-don could catch a sleeper bound forAnn Arbor.The purported purpose of the Prom,that of creating and enlivening col¬lege spirit, has gradually faded sincethe coming of Hutchins. Now thedance falls into the category of justanother huge campus shuffle fest withno special significance other than anopportunity to tear the labels off bot¬tles of scotch and relax from thepress of studies.'The tracing of bands employedshows that in the dark ages, just afterthe century turned into the Twenties,musicians were given bare mention.Gradually name bands began to ar¬rive on the scene, Hal Kemp, PaulWhiteman, last year Jimmy Lunce-ford, and now another Jimmy, he ofthe Dorsey clan, who plays the world’sfinest saxophone.

The drive can be a success onlyif those people who intend to buytags and have not done so yet, makeit a point to spend 50 cents for aworthy cause.Helaine Moses is leading the 11thgrade sales with 25 sales to her credit.Nancy Jacobson and Luise Marks,representing the 12th grade, sold agreater number than any of theirclassmates. The 12th grade work^i JThave netted slightly more than11th graders. \With the money Hannah receives ishe will be able to attend public |school. Without this financial aid shewould be unable to pay for books,lunches, clothing, and carfare to andfrom school. Since she is one of afamily of nine children, her scholar¬ship will somewhat lighten the burden on her father’s shoulders. Hemust support his family on tmeager earnings which he gets fnthe W.P.A., which has recently givhim employment.If, by some chance, you have rbeen approached for a contributiby one or more of the salesgirplease stop at the desk in Belfi<Hall.

She gave one eample of the ex-convict who, decidiito go “straight,” came to the settlment for help because he couldn’t ga job. Finally, through much effoihe obtained a WPA position andnow under the supervision of a miespecially interested in helping econvicts.

MickelNight Editor: Richard SchindlerAssistant: Bob SchwartzThe 13th GradeThere is a very marked breakbetween the first two and thelast two years of the Four-YearCollege. It is caused in part bythe fact that the 13th graderswant to be college freshmen anddon’t relish being related to"mere high school students”.The split is also caused in partby a lack of cooperative activi¬ties. Although many curriculaclasses in truth are taught byFour-Year College teachers andthe type and material of thecourses units the Four-Year•wstem, there are, however, ex¬tra-curricula and social activi¬ties in which this unity has notyet been apparent.We. the first two years, havevery little to do with the 13thj'laders. We should like to seemore of them. Among girls theproblem is perhaps not so acutebecause Ida Noyes Hall pro¬vides a unique get-togetherplace for all the University^drls. On the other hand thereare no social affairs as yet forthe entire sequence, and almostno common activities. Attemptsare being made to unite s'owlythe entire system in all aspects.The Weekly, to do its part,wants students of all grades towork on this paper and wantsto publish news concerning allyears, not only the first two.Letters tothe EditorTo the editor and the student body:For several weeks I have observeda disagn'eement in this paper betweenthe editor of the Weekly and theeditor of the Correlator. In my opin¬ion it is about time that anotheropinion be heard.My own view seems to fall in withthat of the editor of the Weekly.This is that the Correlator could beproduced for a smaller sum than itis.First I will point out a few fallaciesin the work of this year’s staff. Theeditor of this year’s Correlator hasnot as yet submitted his budget’andis working on the “oh, we’ll haveenough” theory. When questioned asto how much he is spending on theyear-book he dodged the issue bychanging the subject and saying thathe will spend every cent he can getand more if necessary (in other words,lie joked it off). It seems to me thatwhen one is publishing a year bookhe should have his budget submittedbefore starting work, not after.Secondly, the editor is wasting thenioney of the student body to glorifyhimself and his compatriots. True, itis nice to have a fancy masthead thatcovers half the page for the year¬book’s stationery. But is the year¬book justified in using the studentbody’s money for such purposes? Ifis, should the penny-a-page sheets HEAD-LITESMarian BakerSkinnay rides again! Her interestin horses is of a different color! SheI used her artistic talent to produce aclay one which rested for many yearsin hallowed security in a glass case(Dust now it’s dust.). Art is herprimary interest, and when she getsspurts of inspiration she producespaintings, drawings, and the afore-mentioned bits of clay. Last yearwhen she was a member of the ArtClub, she made a mural for the wallsof the Girls’ Club. Last summer sheworked as a full time apprentice li¬brarian at the Ryerson Library of theArt Institute. This year her creativemind has turned to the Esteemedword. She has joined Playfestersand—I gather—is writing bits of po¬etry, which she refuses to quote. Herother big interest is Biology. Thefirst two years she was here she be¬longed to the Science and BiologyClubs, respectively. If she isn’t anartist, (or a housewife) she might bea nurse or a bacteriologist. (Noticethe resemblance between nursing andsketching?) Her other activities inthis school: Freshman—Hou.se com¬mittee, Sophomore—Settlement, Jun¬ior—Social Committee and Glee Club,Senior—Social Committee and GleeClub. She is active in sports havingespecial liking for tennis, bowling,riding, and swimming. Her one am¬bition is to get really fat. She sewsa little, and knits consistently (alwaysfor Junior). She’s been to Europeonce, and though she didn’t pick upmuch culture, she did get a cuteEngli.shman. Her favorite color isred becau.se it’s so vivacious, she’sslightly allergic to herself, and sheprefers lilonds, but Definitely.Most of the material in this articlewas volunteered by her very specialcomplex, Mary McHie.be used for scratch paper?Thirdly, in my opinion, just thereason that a certain company has“pull” in the University offices doesnot mean that it is the only companythat can print a good yearbook. Justbecause a company does not charge ahigh price it does not necessarily fol¬low that it will print off center pageswith blurred print. As a matter offact the editor and his staff are sup¬posed to see that a company does notprint a book in this manner. (Thecompanies send sample pages so thatthe editor can make corrections andcan criticize the printing, etc.).As a fourth point, I would like toobject to the extravagance of the pic¬ture-taking end of the year book. Ifeel certain that a combined staff ofthe four or five best photographers inthe school could turn out aboutthe same results as Root Studios.After all, it takes only a small amountof skill to line up a group accordingto size, arrange it so as to obtain abalanced picture and then to take thepicture at the right exposure. Thentoo, why should Root Studio have amonopoly on the portraits ? After all,I know that not many seniors relishthe thought of having to pay $3.00for the year book and $6.00 for theirpictures in it. If students could sub¬mit good amateur portraits of them¬selves why do they have to pay somuch money to Root Studios?Thanks for your attention.Bob SchwartzGIRLS: DON’T FORGET THEWINTER TIE-UPii FEBRUARY 2nd Jim ReynoldsThis man, James doth continuallyamaze and amuse us. He has becomean indispensable and characteristicpart of the school in the short threeyears he has been here. He enteredin his sophomore year, and immedi¬ately to his surprise and astonish¬ment was elected treasurer of theclass. (My, my. So that’s what areally honest face looks like!) Hewent out for sports, specializing inindoor track, football (Woe!) andbaseball. He was made intramuralcaptain of the last two. He took thetitle of Chairman of the Social Com¬mittee. (This was a natural for Jim¬my!) He made many worthwhilecontributions to the Gargoyle, orig¬inating his famous Archibald B.Cradock mystery series. In his Junioryear he was elected to Hi-Y. Hejoined the Glee Club and practiced inthe bathtub. He helped to organizethe famous baseball team, over whichthere was so much discussion lastyear, and in which he played infield.Was again on the Social Committee,i He contributed to the great fund ofAmerican Literature by writing afew unimportant articles for theWeekly, and by continuing his greatA.B.C. stories. This year he is verybusy, holding the associate editorshipof the Correlator, which he says isjust an excuse to give him a lot ofwork, plus being star columnist forthe Weekly.His .slough of slugs is well knownto all our readers. To those who haveseen him work out his column amidstthe noise and confusion of the Week¬ly office, hunting for jokes and hu¬morous incidents, dashing off poetryevery five minutes, he is a feverishgenius. His enthusiasm imparts someof his personality tb his work whichmay not always appear in the coldtype. His little black book is brown,and he doesn’t need a code for star¬ring and double starring, etc., be¬cause only the “highest class num¬bers get in there in the first place”.His hobbies are people, evidenced byhis many and diverse friends andacquaintances, and singing in thebathtub. His favorite song he wouldn’tmake public, but his second favoritesong is “Only a Rose”.

It is extremely simplifiedwith a strong feeling for form andline, and it seems that the artist wasinfluenced by negro sculpture. TheRenoir bronze is a beautiful, strong,and massive piece. The Daumierheads are rugged, powerful, and ex¬pressive. He was plainly an artistnot overly occupied with surface, aswere many of his contemporaries.The Gauguin wood pieces are decora¬tive and colorful. A particularly goodpiece was one called the “Negress ofMartinique.”Another beautiful piece is a draw¬ing by Modigliani which accompanieshis piece of sculpture. The drawingis in blue and has wonderful linesand volume. Rifle Squad DefeatsY. M. C. A., 492-464SPORTSCORNERBy BOB SCHWARTZAfter a long search I dug up thefollowing “fan letter”:To the Sports Corner:In answer to various people asso¬ciated with the track squad 1 shouldlike to give my opinion on the letterwritten to your cojumn last week. Myown views are similar to yours (con¬cerning the fact that it is neither theSports Corner’s nor the Weekly’s busi¬ness to get people out for track). Peo¬ple who are interested in the schoolteams will come out of their own ac¬cord without the persuasion of thispaper. As for those people who haveability and choose to go out for asport other than track, that is theirbusiness. The paper can not show apreference for any one team.Thanks for your time (and space)Lynch GronertTo Lynch Gronert:I agree with you on most of yourpoints; however I believe that certainmembers of the track team of lastyear should come out for this year’steam as a duty to their school, and,while it is not the Weekhfs businessto get them out, the student bodyshould encourage their participation.The track team needs these old mem¬bers if it is to duplicate last year’sfeats, as the new members do notalone make a complete squad.If someone does not agree with theopinion expressed he is privileged towrite to this column and express hisviews.« 4: itcMany members of the newly organ¬ized FYC rifle team have expressedthe opinion that this team, which isone of the few FYC teams which iswinning its meets, should receivemore publicity from the Weekly. Eventhough this is not the only winningFYC team, I quite agree that thisteam deserves publicity. Therefore Iwish to go on record as congratulat¬ing the members on their diligent work(even though they were up againstmuch opposition) and on the fineshowing they made in the recent meet.* * ♦I wish others of you would sendin your opinions!!!!!Swimmers LoseTo ThorntonOur stalwart swimming squadbattled an excellent Thornton Frac¬tional team last Wednesday afternoonat Calumet City. The meet was veryclosely contested, and not until thefinal event was run off did Fractionalfinally nose us out by the close scoreof 37 to 29.Captain Oil Hallett was unable tocompete due to a bad cold, and con¬sequently we lost the 100-yard free¬style. On the whole, however, thepoints were split evenly, each teamtaking four firsts. First places wentto us in the 100-yard breast-stroke,the 100-yard back-stroke, the diving,and the medley relay.A summary of the meet follows:40.yard freestyle—Won by Rack (T) ; sec¬ond, Buckner (T); third, J.

Flook and Mayer MakePerfect Scores; NextMeet on Feb. 3rdThe rifle team literally started theirseasoL with a bang. In fact, one-hundred bangs. As you can no doubtguess, they won!! Yes, believe it ornot, U. High turned in a victory overHyde Park YMCA. As a matter offact, the boys beat the YMCA by ascore of 492 to 464.With the aid of perfect scores madeby Flook and Meyer, Metcalf’s andMorrison’s ninety-eights, and Car¬ver’s ninety-six, they did all right.The whole team dropped only eightpoints below a perfect score.The team was cheered to victory bya gallery of about ten students andone faculty member. The membersof the team were happy to see thisinterest, but hope that it will growwith the success of the team. Theirearnest desire is to give the school awinning team—one we can be proudof.The team’s next match is to be theirlast practice meet. It is to be withthe same opponents, but on their ownrange, on Saturday afternoon, Feb¬ruary 3rd.

Today’s issue placesbeyond all doubt this well knowntruth. Pulse is no rose, but it doessmell. Today it smells as never be¬fore. Campus newstands will take onthe atmosphere of cosmetic counters,and the world will wonder whetherPulse is a magazine or an open bot¬tle of “Paris Nights.”Back of it all is the editors’ revo¬lutionary try at “perfuming thecover,” to use their own words. Thecover itself is declared to be the“best picture of Charlotte Rexstrewyet,” and is made up in Valentinestyle. Since it is impossible to ob¬tain a copy of Pulse before the Ma¬roon goes to press this news couldnot be verified, by actual nose tests.However, according to Emil Hirsch,Editor of Pulse, “sweet-scented oilshave been mixed with the ink.”This innovation in magazine at¬tractions is more or less of pioneerexperiment, says Hirsch, which mayin the future be widely used by pub¬lications, or perfume and flower ad¬vertisers.All the genius of the Pulse staff,this issue, seems to have been dis¬sipated on the cover. Only other fea¬ture is a survey of the Four-YearCollege, and since the editors make nomore startling announcements it isassumed that the rest of the maga¬zines smells only of ink, and includesno more than the usual run of newsand pictures.Int-House ShowsParisian FilmSacha Guitry’s movie, “The Storyof a Cheat,” is the feature picture oftoday’s program at InternationalHouse. A French production, it isconsidered one of the outstandingforeign films of the past year. It isunique in that Guitry plays the leadin the film which he wrote and pro¬duced. The English titles are byJohn Erskine. Play His RecordingsHarvey AirportIs TrainingSite For CAAThe Ruben Camp Airfield is thesite of the flying instructions for thestudents enrolled in the Civil Aero¬nautics Commission. The field is lo¬cated at one hundred and fortiethstreet and Harvey Avenue, which isabout two miles w’est of the HarveyI-C station. It was recently moder¬nized and is one of the largest fieldsin this locality.Actual flight instruction will beginsome-ime in the middle of February.By* that time three new trainingplanes will have reached the airport.Students will receive their instruc¬tions from a Mr. Brownell who wasalso chosen by the University authori¬ties. He has had wide experience inflying including some time spent inthe Navy. Winter weather, so longas it doesn’t become icy, holds fewerterrors for flyers than is commonlybelieved. It is, in fact, much betterfor instruction than warmer weather,since the air is less “bumpy.” Theonly experience the students have hadin the air so far is a ride given themby a member of the airport staff.In between flights the students willcontinue to attend class; among thesubjects yet to be dealt with is Met¬eorology. It is expected that theclass course will be finished by thetwelfth of March.Bursar’s OfficeConsiders MeansTo Foil BanditsWith the robbers of the Bursar’soffice safely in custody and alreadyindicted, acting Bursar Cotton yes¬terday said that ways and means ofmaking the office more burglar-proofwere being considered.He pointed out that it was difficultto find a way of keeping criminalsout of the Press Building, when itwas impossible to detect them andjust as impossible to know when theywere going to get the idea that theUniversity might be a good source ofeasy money. He said that possibleways of keeping the cashier’s cagesimpenetrable to robbers were underconsideration, however.Mr. Cotton said that, to his knowl¬edge, the woman that the newspapershave reported to be an accomplice ofthe three men who committed therobbery had nothing to do with it.He said that the University hadlodged the usual complaint againstthe men, that they had identifiedthem fairly definitely, but that hehad not been informed as to the dateof the trial.The loss was insured, and the in¬surance company will have to makegood the more than $4300 that thebandits took out of the Bursar’s cof¬fers, since before their capture theyhad spent most of the money. SkiingReplacesFootball InStagg FieldSkiing is the sport that will takeover Stagg Field in the future, ac¬cording to Director of Athletics T.Nelson Metcalf who has found thatit can well serve as a place to pro¬vide skiing instruction for students,and that it will be a valuable addi¬tion to the intramural facilities.How to SkiWinter sports experts are dividedinto two classes on the question ofthe best means of teaching noviceshow to ski. One group believes thatbeginners should be taught on thelevel and the other maintains thatthey should receive their first train¬ing on slight slopes. Stagg Field isadapted to both types of instruction.The level ground of the field can bestrewn with straw, a substitute forsnow which can be used all year.Slopes can be built either in the WestStands or just north of Bartlett Gym.In the West Stands the slope wouldbe constructed over a stairway, withborax as the substitute for snow.Loan EquipmentSince most students do not havethe equipment necessary for skiing,the University will furnish boots andskis, either for loan or for rent. In¬struction will probably be included inthe regular athletic program.When winter sports enthusiastsaren’t busily skiing to and fro, thefield will tbe used for intramurals.With the south stands removed therewill be two fields running north andsouth. However this change may notbe made because city high schoolsand junior colleges have asked to usethe stadium during the football sea¬son.No Football or TobogganTwo suggested uses for the field,one to invite the Chicago Bears, pro¬fessional football team, to use it fora home field, and the other to havea toboggan slide constructed in it,were rejected.(Continued on page three)Set WednesdayAs Deadline InMirror ContestLast chance to enter the Mirrorcover contest is coming up.

They will lunch withtheir counselors who have been chosenby the Freshman Council, headed byBob Smith.Since the results of the scholasticaptitude tests given yesterday arenot known, the exact size of the classcannot be determined.

The University offered tenscholarships to refugee students fromEurope provided that the studentCommittee raised enough money tosupport them once they were here. Thecommittee raised the money, and thescholarships were awarded. Ten ofthe students were accepted out of the30 applications considered, and nineof them were able to get here fromEurope.By careful budgeting, the Univer¬sity administration, which has hadcomplete charge of handling thescholarship funds this year, is man¬aging to make the money raised last(Continued on page three)Maroon PollsCampusOpinionOn FootballTo what extent did PresidentHutchins, in his address in Mandel,influence the students in regard tothe abolition of football? Are theygenerally in favor of his views or dothey oppose them? In order to answerthese questions, and others relatingto football, the Daily Maroon willconduct a student football poll tomor¬row with polling places in MandelCorridor and Cobb Hall. The studentswill answer a mimeographed ques¬tionnaire.Hutchins’ TestThis poll offers the first opportu¬nity, since Hutchins has been pres¬ident of the University, to test hisability to sell himself to the students.Such a test will be made by compar¬ing the Daily Maroon poll with thePulse poll, which was taken lastmonth, before Hutchins’ address. Tomake the test more accurate, ques¬tions pertaining to Hutchins’ sellingability will be asked in the Maroonpoll.In the Pulse poll, students wereoverwhelmingly in favor of maintain¬ing a football team and subsidizingfootball players scholastically admis¬sible to the University. In addition,the poll revealed that students didnot wish to reduce the number ofconference games or play smallerschools.Yes or NoSince the Pulse poll was taken,and since the president’s address,many students have concluded thatthe majority of students are in favorof the decision of the Board of Trus¬tees. However, there are others whoclaim that few agree with the decis¬ion. Thus, the Daily Maroon poll willanswer the above argument by serv¬ing as a Gallup poll of Universitystudent opinion.YW Hears TribuneBeauty ColumnistA “Powder-Puff” session, conduct¬ed by Rhea Seeger of the ChicagoTribune women’s department, will beheld this Thursday afternoon at 3:30in the YWCA room of Ida Noyes.Miss Seeger will discuss beauty andfashion problems, and will answerquestions of the group, after whichthe meeting will break up into a so¬cial affair and refreshments will beserved.Page Six THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1940t THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSNine Games PlayedIn 1-M BasketballSawyier Scores 22 Pointsin 60-14 Win OverPress.B. & G. won out over InternationalHouse in the last minute of play tocome out with a 26-23 decision.
