Mirror Sets Play LeadingPart In 1940 ProductionBarry Faniol DesignsScenery, Provides Show’s“’Dynamic” Background.By MARJORY GOODMANFlashing leffs, hilarious skits, andcatchy songs, placed among some ofthe most unique sets in Mirror his¬tory will meet the critical eyes of thealumni and the press in a special pre- jview of the show tomorrow night. [Sets were designed by Barry Farnol'who has staged many New York.shows, and done work for the Federal [Theatre Project. iDynamic SetsAlmost every skit and chorus rou¬tine has a special set. Altogetherthere are thirteen of them. The job ofbuilding these dynamic sets has beenhandled by Jim Tedrow and Don Wil¬son and their stage crew. Valuable as¬sistance has also been rendered by.Mrs. John Lau, who became interestedin Mirror through her work on theSettlement Show.All parts of the staging have beenintegrated with the show. Lightingand sets rather than being mere ac-ces.sories to the skits have been care¬fully planned to tie up with the themeof each number. Little attempt atrealism has been made; sets, oftenhumorous, are many times merely cut ■out designs against a black curtain.Euple^ PaulsenDebate JSV TeamOn ‘‘Isolation^^Two Northwestern students willdebate Jim Engle and Monrad Paul¬sen on “Isolation” at today’s meetingof the Student Forum in Lexingtono at 3:30.In addition to today’s meeting, tw’os{)eaking engagements will be filled.The Plebian Forum, 34 S.

Green will get 69 percent of the votes cast for governor inthe Republican primary while his op¬ponent Richard J. Lyons will poll on¬ly 31 per cent according to the re¬sults of a straw vote taken by HaroldF. Gosnell, Associate Professor of Po¬litical Science.Gosnell conducted his poll accord¬ing to methods similar to those usedby Gallup in previous successfulstraw votes. He questioned a care¬fully selected cross-section of the Re¬publican population of all but two ofthe wards in the city.Democratic CandidatesIn the near future Gosnell is plan¬ning to use the same methods to de¬termine an opinion on Democraticgubernatorial candidates Stelle andHershey, and possibly on the twopresidential candidates listed on theprimary ballot, Roosevelt and Garner.Inasmuch as Dewey is the only nameon the Illinois ballot there will be nostraw vote on Republican Presidentialcandidates.It is of interest that although twometropolitan newspapers were willingto print the results of Gosnell’s im¬partial poll, the Chicago Tribune,j which is supporting Lyons for gov-I ernor, refused to run them. In ahumorous letter of protest to theVoice of the People Gosnell is offeringto bet the Tribune a good cigar thatI Green defeats Lyons by a 2 to 1 ma¬jority.Musicale FeaturesLeon Sayvitz TrioA Sunday afternoon musicale andtea will be sponsored by the Ida NoyesI Council this week at 4 in the libraryi of Ida Noyes, featuring the Leon Say¬vitz Trio.The trio of musicians are membersof the University Symphony orches¬tra.

It hasbeen found that anything learned isusually called out by a wider range ofstimuli than the thing from which itwas learned.The extent of the relationship be¬tween learning and broad generalknowledge and the connection be¬tween specific stimuli and specific re¬sponse has not been precisely deter¬mined. This experiment will be a stu¬dent project, the basic elements ofwhich will be copied from a similarexperiment carried on by Mauer atYale.Discrimination ProblemsRats will be used since they can bereadily obtained and because it is easyto control them.

Bishop SheilFirst On QuadranglesBishop SheilSpeaks In IdaNoyes TodayThe Rt. Reverend Bernard J. SheilAuxiliary Bishop of Chicago will bethe guest of honor of the Calvert Clubin Ida Noyes Library at 4 o’clock thisafternoon. This will be the first timein history that a Catholic Bishop hasspoken on the quadrangles. All thosewho are interested in hearing thebishop speak are invited to attend theinformal meeting.Probable subject of the Bishop’stalk will be “Catholic Action in Rela¬tion to Student Groups.” As a vigor¬ous and intellectual speaker with adeep and sincere interest in the prob¬lems of youth, his talk this afternoonwill be one which hearers will vividlyremember.CYO FounderIn 1928 he was created AuxiliaryBishop of Chicago as an aid to thelate Cardinal Mundelein. From the be¬ginning of his work in Chicago he hasbeen interested in the young peopleof the diocese and it is due to thisinterest that the Bishop has consentedto appear on campus as the guest ofthe Calvert. He has been most notedas the founder and sponsor of theCYO.The original of the Calvert Clubwas the Bi-onson Club which wasfounded during the early days of theUniversity. In 1924 a Newman Clubwas started but it was succeeded twoyears later by the present CalvertClub, which at the present time con¬sists of twenty-five members.Catholic ActionOfficers are Alice Carlson, Mar¬jorie Dunn, LaVerne Tess, and BobHughes. The aim of the club is toform a social organization of theCatholic students on campus and topromote Catholic Action by makingothers better acquainted with Catholicreligious principals.Jerome G. Kerwin, professor of po¬litical economy and faculty advisor ofthe Club will introduce the Bishop andAlice Carlson, president will presideat the meeting.Int-House QuarterlyHas Cover ContestInternational House Quarterly willhave a new cover for its Spring is¬sue as the result of a contest now inprogress to discover a suitable newdesign for it.The winner of the competition willreceive a $30 prize. Entries must bein the hands of Mr. James Wellard,Quarterly editor, by March 10. Com¬petitors are urged to talk with himat his office in International Housebefore submitting their designs. Sincethe new cover will be used for a num¬ber of issues, the design should leavespace for a photograph. Drive Heads PrepareBulletin Stating Plansfor Next Semester.Silence for the past two weeks, saythe heads of the Refugee Aid commit¬tee, has not meant inaction. And thetwo weeks of action have producedamong other things a bulletin, statingthe purpose, and tentative plans forthe drive that the Committee willsponsor next quarter.About $4,500 in cash, or room andboard pledges, is needed to keep thenine refugee students that werebrought over by last year’s refugeeaid drive on campus. The bulletin hasbeen sent out as step number one inco-chairman Bob Boyer and Bob Koe¬nig’s campaign to stir up interest inthe movement before the machineryof the drive actually begins to roll.Coordinate WorkThe bulletin, edited by Boyer, withthe aid of Randolph Snively, Koenig,and Rita Ransahoff, head of lastyear’s drive, points out that the re¬leases will be sent out periodically toco-ordinate the work of the fifty ormore students they hope will be work¬ing, when the drive gets in full swing.It emphasized that the committeeis not a new idea, but is in effect acontinuation of last year’s committee.The objectives, for those committeemembers who haven’t heard them be¬fore, are to raise a minimum of $5,-000, among the students and facultymembers of the University.Allocation of FundsOf the undesignated funds raised,60 per cent will be designated to theUniversity’s refugee for room andboard, 20 per cent will be allotted tothe International Student ServiceFund, for European student relief,and the remaining 20 per cent to theFar Eastern Student Service Fund.Canvass FacultyThe drive will open formally at thebeginning of the spring quarter. Thecommittee hopes to have most organ¬izational plans completed by then,feeling that the success of the drivedepends on a systematic program ofpublicity, and organizational work.The committee has already startedcanvassing faculty members for theirstamp of approval on the drive. Inthe bulletin, it issues a general ac¬counting of the why and whei’e of the$7,000 spent last year, and asks anyinterested workers-to-be to contactBob Koenig in the Chapel office.Ideas for publicity for the driveshould be sent to Ernest Leiser in theMaroon office.Committee NamesNew Members ofIda Noyes CouncilNew members of the Ida NoyesCouncil, chosen by the nominatingcommittee from a list of students whoexpressed interest in the Council bysubmitting their names for considera¬tion, have been announced.Next year’s senior members will beMary Hammel, Mary Harvey, Cather¬ine Dryburg, Lois Whiting, and Mi-mi Evans. Junior women Muriel Fro-din, Betty Jane Nelson, Clarissa Ra-hill, Kay Kellam, and Jean Scott, andsophomores Mary Herschel, MaryColley, Joan Duncan, Marjory Good¬man and Marjery Sullivan completethe Council.To maintain a constant influx ofI new ideas and avoid the “closed shop,”characteristic of many organizations,the Council invites those who havethe interest and the time to signifytheir desire to join. The nominatingcommittee, composed of retiring sen¬iors and members of the e.xecutivecouncil, makes the final selectionsfrom among them.Officers will be elected from theranks of the new council this Tuesday.Freshman members of the organiza¬tion will be elected next fall.■)iPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1940'Stic ^aromtFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATE PRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni¬versity of Chioano, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday andMonday during the Autumn, Winter and Spring quarters by TheDaily Maroon Company, B831 University avenue.

Ernest LeiserNight Editor; Richard PhilbrickAssistant: Nancy LesserIntoxication and SpiritBy this time it should certainly be a tru¬ism that the University of Chicago is above allan intellectual institution. But although al¬most the entire country knows us for such aplace, this statement of the predominant Uni¬versity characteristic usually seems to arouseamazement from certain administrative officersand shocked outrage from certain students.Yet the fact obviously remains: the greatestappeal of this school is to the mind; and theonly trait most people here may safely be as¬sumed to have in common is the possession ofminds capable of responding to more than or¬dinary challenge.This is something to be proud of. At mostother colleges the bitter pill of learning mustbe coated with sugary collegiate life in orderto coaxe the young pupils to nibble. Here,ideals are high. It takes grown-ups to live upto them. And grown-ups usually are not-in-terested in childish pleasures.Often, because University interest is sup¬posedly directed at rational activity, studentsare accused of being poor in spirit. Poor sup¬port of football, basketball; lack of interest inclass organization and activities; the subduedcampus social life are all cited as proofs thatstudents here have no bonds uniting them inloyalty to each other and to the Alma Mater.In a sense, this criticism is true. Probablythe symbols which are sure-fire stuff for rally¬ing sentiment at Joe-College places fall fiathere. Most University students just aren’table to work up much emotion over these make-believe delights.But how does this show that we don’thave much school spirit? Because most of usfail to show enthusiasm for things we can’ttake seriously, does it necessarily follow thatour souls are aridly intellectual, that we aredusty, dry, and sterile? When our parentsdidn’t become wildly entranced by what usedto seem to us our thrilling performances athop scotch or cops-and-robbers, we didn’t im¬mediately conclude that they had no capacityfor true feeling.We thought they were more interested inmore important matters. So might it be withmany University students. The things thatreally concern them might not be of the kindthat affection can be demonstrated towards bycheering. What good would it do to get upand give three loud whoops for Aristotle — orcosmic ray investigations? Yet the study ofAristotle and of cosmic rays may lead to con¬sequences of deep theoretical and practicalsignificance. Who can seriously blame thosewho think that the ordinary “collegiate life”is of too little consequence to bother about.Surely students who take college as prepara¬tion for life are far more praiseworthy thanthose who seek a pampered escape into foury^ears of artificial Never-Never land.Over 6,000 students are enrolled here, full¬time. This shows the University’s ideals areattractive. Most of these people knew the Uni¬versity’s reputation before they came: theycould have stayed away if they hadn’t liked it.But loyalty here isn’t properly directed at asentimental fictitious Alma Mater; it’s to aplace where learning can be pursued. Outsideof a few accidental associations, the only tiesbetween students are through the common in¬terests of fellow pursuers. It seems likely thatthe only ptra-curricular activities that genu¬inely fit in here are those which have somestimulation for intelligence.If it is true that most University studentsmay be characterized by the searching spirit,then it follows that the usual sort of collegelife will not be sufficient to satisfy them. Itwill seem like childish toys that merely boretherefore, as administrativeofficials try to sell this school to prospectivedonors and prospective students as a place where the Joe College spirit is high, they will |be attempting blatant fraud. As long as theyglorify the very small minority of studentswho are primarily concerned with other thanintellectual work, they will be holding up asan example of our spirit something false, emp¬ty, not representative nor worthy of being so.Let people who prefer the palliatives ofcollegiate life go elsewhere. There are plentyof other places catering to the shallower con¬ventions of higher education. Here, we are al¬most unique in trying to make the essentialsof education our ideals. As long as we are loyalto these ideals it is no discredit to be apatheticto other symbols which we consider trifling.The discredit comes in only when we fail tolive up to our own ideals, or become ashamedof them.Picasso Review |- - ‘By HERBERT GROSSBERGThe current Picasso exhibit at the Art Institutesurprises us mostly by showing what a backwater cen¬ter of culture Chicago can show itself at times.Through the maze of hisses, horse laughs, cat calls,and so-called witticisms sent up by local critic andspectator alike, it is difficult to come to any otherconclusion.Echo Into BellowFor it is bald fact that this mode of derision hadits inception some 30 years back in the salons of Paris,and for an echo to emerge in a raucous bellow some 30years later, is to say the least, a noteworthy event initself. Not that Chicago is not entitled to its reactionand its own fun—for it is.But it should be fairly obvious by now that thisartist accomplished much of what he did in a spirit ofadventure, fun, and exploration in his field of twodimensional decoration.The difficulty lies, of course, in the fact that thelayman without sufficient historical knowledge or themodern “feel” of things doesn’t bother to get past thefun stage. And the artist doesn’t help any by placingrealistic titles alongside of fanciful forms except forpublicity value.(Continued on page four)Traveling Bazaar Illinois DeanOf Men PraisesFraternitiesFred Turner DefendsGreeks in Saturday Eve¬ning Post.Gently patting fraternities andsororities on the back and defendingthem from the charges of snobbery,Fred H. Turner, University of Illi¬nois’ Dean of Men, defends the sys¬tem in this week’s “Saturday EveningPo.st.”Turner believes that the Greek let¬ter societies are filling a real need inthe social lives of college studentsbut points out that it is an importantmistake “to look at joining a fratern¬ity or sorority as more importantthan becoming a freshman in theuniversity.”The article is chiefly concerned withpresenting case histories to show' howthe problems of legacies, and socialmisfits are solved. He makes of pointof showing that the “poor but hon¬est” lad can become a satelite in aleading fraternity, that all is not lostafter pledge week and that you don’thave to be a beauty queen to becomea sorority girl. Turner says factsdisprove the idea the fraternity mendate only sorority girls or that“barbs” don’t rate with a sororitywoman.Turner commends the Greek lettersystem for “attempting to corral allactivity leaders and trying to securethe major portion of places in stu¬dent affairs.”Woefle—(('ontinued from page one)there will be some food left for him.In an ordinary group of three thereis usually one worker and two par¬asites.

It wasnt any fault of PEG HUTCHINSON’S,but here's the story:A week ago a Mutual Broadcasting Company an¬nouncer, Don Norman, saw Marge Dillon in the Miri’orbox office. He said he hadn’t seen such beauty since acouple of tipsy debutantes tried to crash one of hisprograms. He wanted to know if the University ofChicago had any more dollies like that... We took himin to see the Mirror chorus rehearsing. When Mr.Norman saw Jane Myers, Caroline Wheeler and AnnSteel, he whistled...Marge Brown spied the intruderand asked him to leave. Protests were of no avail soDon took matters into his own hands and asked ifMirror wouldn’t like some publicity on the Mutualnetworks. Marge’s eyes popped. She came back in aminute with Ruth Steel, head of Publicity. Don in¬vited her to “be around” for his “Man On the Street”program. Ruth told Peg Hutchinson. Sounds prettygood, thought Peg, so she told Dean Randall—hebeamed. ..Peg and Pat went shopping Thursday after¬noon ...Peg and Pateyed a microphone in front of the Oriental Theatrewith distaste and breathed fervent prayers for dear oldMirror. . .First question, “Are you married?”, tookPeg a little by surprise, but she managed a weak“No-o.” From then on the going was pretty tough.Mr. Norman enjoyed himself thoroughly... His subtlequestioning revealed that Peg loved dates, didn’t ex¬actly like to have a fellow spend all his money on adate; well, the fellows at U of C didn’t have muchmoney anyway; well...

They wit¬nessed a fighting basketball team out¬play Illinois. They witnessed a fight¬ing Maroon five that refused to givefrround or to bow in defeat to a sup¬posedly superior aggregation.No one, of course, will deny that theMaroon five which played against themini have improved. Their ball han¬dling and shotmaking was more ac¬curate, but most of all, they were ontheir toes, displaying a never-say-diespirit and a smart, fast style of playthat was not characteristic of earliergames. To say that the change is theresult of an added impetus to “fight,”goes without saying. It is a pleasureto watch a fighting aggregation whichbears the colors of the University ofChicago.♦ » ♦Rut this new drive, if we are tojudge by scores, actually started withthe Minnesota game when the Ma¬roons achieved their one and only vic¬tory. However, to read the metropoli¬tan papers, especially the world’sgreatest, one would conclude that weare still the hapless Maroons.It is indeed, unfortunate that thisstigma must be cast on Chicagoteams. True, we may deserve con¬demnation when our playing warrantsit, but in the same scale of values weshould receive praise when conditionsare reversed. The Maroons, for ex¬ample, received small credit for com¬ing within four points of defeatingIndiana to stall in the last two min¬utes because a strong Chicago drivehad closed the gap between the twoteams.Chicago was certainly the equal ofIllinois—that is, until the last tenseconds—in probably the most excit¬ing game seen at the Fieldhouse inmany years. With the public sup¬posedly interested in local teams, it istoo bad that Chicago can not be giventhe proper publicity that it .sometimesdeserves.« * «The game with Illinois Monday alsoilluminated another side of Universitylife and one which newspaper public¬ity and word of mouth had continual¬ly underestimated. It was indeed in¬teresting to see Maroon spectatorsyell as loudly as those joyboy sup¬porters from Illinois. It was interest¬ing to hear Maroon cheers resoundthrough the Fieldhouse. It was inter¬esting to see that those cheers rangforth from the mouths of fraternitymen, faculty supporters, independents,and that well-publicized intellectualelement. It was interesting to see thatthe University of Chicago—while it isa superior educational institution—'till contains a large “normal” el¬ement.•Metropolitan papers, please takenotice—give us something to cheerfor and we will display those qualitiesthat supposedly are dead at the Uni¬versity of Chicago.Swimmers MeetSorthwesternChicago’s aquatic teams face an¬other grueling meet tonight, thistime with Northwestern at Evanston.Unlike the Iowa teams, Northwe.sternhas a strong water polo seven as wellas a top notch swimming team to pitagainst the Maroons.

In the ten games he hasplayed, he has counted from the field31 times, has made 14 out of 24 freethrow attempts, and has had only 19personal fouls called against him. Themajority of his points are accountedfor by his success with a double-fake-hook shot. He shoots equally well witheither hand, and scores his share oftip-in shots on rebounds.Stampf StarsThe one conference scoring cham¬pionship which the Maroons can counton as being in the bag is due to theskill of Joe Stampf on the free throwline. The second of the six foot threeinch trio on the Chicago squad, Joe isthe leading scorer for the team witha total of 80 points, the only man towear glasses, and the other man onthe double-pivot which Coach Nor¬gren employs on offense.Stampf hails from Calumet High |School in Chicago, where he starredat the Holiday Tourneys held in theFieldhouse. A Junior, he promises tobe the sparkplug of next year’s team,since this season has given him agreat deal of experience in playingthe Big Ten Brand of ball. Thereare few players who have taken morepunishment than Joe has, as his 44free throws in 57 attempts show.Among LeadersTenth in the scoring race, he hasmade 18 buckets and has had 25 foulscalled against him. His spirit andhis glasses are equally unbreakable,as he has come up fighting againstsome of the roughest guarding tacticsthe league has to offer. In all prob¬ability he will be captain of the 1940-41 team.Winter ServiceCheck List□ Gas□ Oil□ ANTIFREEZESOLUTION□ Chassis Lubrication□ Transmission□ Differential□ Battery□ TiresSEE US TODAY FORCOMPLETE SERVICEWALDROM’SDorchester 1004661st & ELUSLet's Meet AtBLUE CIRCLE GRILLFOUNTAIN SERVICE1320 East 57 SL WOODWORTH'STYPEWRITERS— ALL MAKES—NEW and USED —Complete Rental and Repair ServiceSPECIAL SALE!STEEL TYPING TABLE- $2.69 -WOODWORTH'SBOOK Dor. 4800 STORE1311 E. 57 th St. Open EveningsRead the Daily MaroonFor YourCOLLEGENIGHTENJOYMENT★EVERY FRIDAY★Professional Floor ShowsGay College ShowDancing ivith Ted Weems★Get Half Rate Student Tickets atPress Building or Maroon Office★EDGEWATERBEACH HOTEL5300 Block Sheridan RoadCOMPLETE Luncheons — 25c to 45c Dinners — 35c to 60cPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1940PicassoReview—(Continued from page two)Picasso will not seem so peculiar,however, if we recall that realism,scientifically portrayed, was not evenattempted in western civilization out¬side of Greece and Rome, until thefourteenth century nor perfected un¬til the sixteenth.■ New ExpressionIn this light it is not difficult to seewhy after three hundred years ofsuch, an artist of a bold and originalmind should be tired of going overthe old forms and seek new means ofexpression. That “modern art” is awidely accepted phenomenon indicatesthat he began to speak for his gener¬ation.Nor are the “wise men” gettinganywhere when they explain Picassoto death and call him the new Ap-peles. Da Vinci and Rembrandt, allrolled into one with the genius ofEgypt, black Africa and the Orienttossed in by necessity.Simply stated, his beauty and pow'-er (the necessary elements of anyfirst rate artist) lie in his superiorability to employ to an overpoweringdegree each weapon that an artistcan use. These are: (1) The explo¬sive relationship of amazing colorheld together in a dynamic unity—see “Studio Scene with Girl Draw¬ing” and “Nude on a Black Couch.”(2) The subtle and delicate nuance ofhis earlier realistic period before histwenty-fifth year and as in the“Woman in White” of the classic pe¬riod. (3) The tremendous intellectualartistry shown in the reorganizedplane surfaces of the so-called “syn¬thetic” period — note especially theperfection of the nude, half figure,and the delicate “Bird on a Branch.”(4) For charming arrangement ofabstract colors see some of the laterstudies in that form, while (6) for anattempt at an arrangement of power¬ful archaic forms as shown in nudestudies (his least successful style)see that phase of the so-called class¬ical period.For drawing of the greatest beauty,which ranks with the best of any agelook at the etching and line drawing(Pll take the Salome etching).Unrealistic MannerWhat makes Picasso difficult, how¬ever, and brings forth lecturers andexplainers by the thousand is the factthat the plane surfaces, pure color,line and mass, which are an artist’sDuilding blocks, are sometimes put to¬gether in an unfamiliar or unrealisticmanner; this immediately sets upblanket inhibitions to further enjoy¬ment.All we have to do, however, is toremember that the greatest works ofart in any form sometimes receivetheir emphasis by an imaginative dis¬tortion of ordinary seeing and feel¬ing.Where the wise boys are going tofall down, however, is in failing tosee that Picasso will eventually beclassified great as an experimenterand ecclectic rather than for anyother one thing, and that when theartist leaves out the human or nat¬ural element entirely, he can neverachieve immortality.So, rest easy, Chicago!Bar Members Talk onMortgage LoansTwo members of the Chicago barexperienced in the field of mortgagelaw will discuss some features of itbefore the class in Real Security to¬morrow.Mr. A.

DeVoto will tell for the firsttime a hitherto unknown chapter inthe artistic biography of Mark Twain,and hopes to tell it in such a way asto suggest something that will be ap¬plicable to other writers of how thecreative process works. It is, more ex¬plicitly, a study in how a literarymind forged symbols out of its ownexperiences. Kidd Bro GivesUpHunt;DickersWith FriarsBy BOB REYNOLDSFrom a bedside in Billings, BroCrane coughed violently as an attackof flu swept anew over his tonsils andleft him in the midst of a sentence.“What I was trying to say was thatwe have not given up trying to locatethe buried treasure.
