HutchinsAttacksEducatorsCondemns Trend Toward So-Called Proctical and Realis¬tic Educotion.“Influential educators today con¬template with pleasure the extinctionof education” charged President Hutch¬ins yesterday in a speech before theChicago Association of Commerce on“Higher Education and the NationalDefense.”“They tell us with relish that at lastAmerican education must be realisticand practical. Education is to bemilitary training and mechanical in¬struction” he asserted.Harmful ProgramClaiming that this was a programharmful both to the country afterpeace and during actual preparationfor war, he added that ‘‘from thestandpoint of military success alone,long-term research that has no ob¬vious relation to military activity mayhave decisive importance” and he citedGerman “theoretical studies” as anexample.He pointed out that ‘‘the war muststop sometime. Students whose edu¬cation consists chiefly of learning howU) machine shells are not likely toplay a useful part in a community atpeace.” He added that post-war aimsfor education were of especial impor¬tance in a community which will needall the enlightened intelligence it canmuster at the end of this war.“Robert Meduaa”Hutchins introduced himself as“Robert Medusa” and contrasted him¬self to his predecessor, Harper, whosetouch was gold. “Everybody I lookat turns to stone,” he moaned. Hepointed out, however, that the Uni¬versity had raised $3,500,000 of its$12,000,000 goal already and intendedto raise the rest.j*Give StudentsOpportunity ToQuiz HutchinsStudents wanting to know moreabout president Hutchins’ views onwar, football, higher education, orTom Aquinas will have an uniqueopportunity to quiz him at the Ma¬roon dinner, Thursday, February 6.The president has agreed to give“off the record” answers to questionsasked by students. As a precautionagainst publication of any of his re¬marks, two sturdy gunmen will bestationed at all entrances with spe¬cific instructions to slay all approach¬ing reporters, undisclosed sources dis¬closed.The supply of tickets which areselling at the record low price of 76cwith 4Bc off to dorm diners, is likelyto be exhausted in the near future.“Buy now to avoid disappointment,”warned Maroon Board ChairmanStevens. Tickets may be purchased atthe Information Office or from Maroonstaff members.Rostow GivesLaw LecturesAssistant Professor Eugene V.

The picketers and the soundtruck which was a part of their dem¬onstration were sponsored by theHyde Park Council of the AmericanPeace Mobilization.About sixty men and women werein the line, all carrying placards bear¬ing anti-war slogans such as “NoSir!

This head as well asseveral other large objects and bitsof pottery and bas relief are part ofthe ancient city of Persepolis.The bull’s head, shipped half wayaround the world to the Institute, wasbadly damaged when found. It was oneof two heads which stood guard at thepalace of that ancient Persian cityand there was a myth that if anyHutchins Gains WideAttention—‘GilkeyDean Gilkeywide recognitionPU Discusses NewOrganization PlanElection of officers and the adoptionof a new organizational plan will bethe main topics of controversy atPolitical Union’s joint meeting of allfactions this afternoon at 3:30 in LawNorth. The plan is to be presented bythe Liberal Party. By MARY GRAHAMReturning from a week as guestpreacher at Harvard, Dean CharlesGilkey found that the University ofChicago has been roused by the Pres¬ident’s speech to the same vigorousdebate that eastern campuses alreadyhad.Dean Gilkey said that PresidentHutchins’ speech had been widely pub¬licized in the east and had attractedparticular attention because he is oneof the few presidents of a great uni¬versity who has come out so emphat¬ically agaipst war. Many eastern pres¬idents like Conant of Harvard and Sey¬mour of Yale have been aggressivelypro-Ally, while eastern faculties havehad many more vigorous intervention¬ists than here.Tension Between Students andFacultyThese interventionists have broughtabout a tension between the studentbody and the faculty over the war is¬sue which fortunately has not oc¬curred here, said Dean Gilkey. Partof this is undoubtedly due to the factthat discussion of our relation to thewar has been going on for a longerperiod of time, than it has been thecase here, where the President’sspeech has brought the issue forciblybefore the University.According to Dean Gilkey, RobertMaynard Hutchins will very likely beacclaimed as their champion by stu¬dents in the east who have felt thatthey were being pushed into war bytheir professors and administrationsand they will now hail the ChicagoPresident as the spokesman of their(Continued on page four) evil man passed between these headsone would turn around and bite him.When the exhibit opens, the bullwill look much as it looked in the daysof Persepolis’ glories. The brokenpieces have been restored by one ofthe country’s leading sculptors, a spe¬cialist in this field, Donato Bastiani,who from the time of his birth in Italyin 1869, has been active in .sculptor.The 72 year old man works everyday in the> basement workshop of theOriental Institute—a blue corduroyporkpie hat and a smock. After com¬pleting the big bull’s head, Bastianirestored half of a human-headedfeathered bull. All the carefullysculptured feathers and half of thehead had to be added, but Bastiani,working from artists sketches, wasable to duplicate the figure exactly.His next job is a duplicate in small¬er form of the bull’s head which oneday decorated the interior of the pal¬ace at Persepolis. This figure has thefront half of his snout off and Bas¬tiani will work to complete the headso that no difference can be discoveredbetween the work of the ancient art¬ists and modern restorer.Sculptor An Immigrant 'Bastiani first came to this countryin 1884 as an apprentice to a groupof commercial sculptors under a threeyear contract. He made two dollars amonth and got meals, “not so good”,he said, and a mattress on a floor.His memory is phenomenal. He tellsone story of making several dozenbusts of General Grant when he died,and he was instructed to take them tothe funeral and sell them.Being able to carry two at a time,Bastiani sold his two statues and fledto follow the funeral procession. Hestill remembers vividly the beating hegot when he returned to his masters.Bastiani’s career followed a check¬ered pattern after he finished histhree year contract. He made money,would go on a spree and spend it, thenstart all over again. He was in Flor¬ida during the boom season and had ahand in the building and decorativework of the Roney Plaza, Biltmoreand several other large hotels.Worker With TaftAt the first Chicago World’s Fair,Bastiani was chief sculptor and it wasthen he became acquainted with Lor-ado Taft. Years later he went backto work with Taft and helped withthe Fountain of Time in WashingtonPark and several other major Taftworks.While working with Taft, Bastianibecame acquainted with Dr. Breasted,founder of the Oriental Institute, andin 1930 began working steadily on ob¬jects for the Institute. “Dr. Breastedsaid, ‘Bastiani you stay here always’and here I am.” By MARK FISHERMost University students agree withthe conclusions expressed by PresidentHutchins in his recent radio address,according to the results of a DailyMaroon Poll held yesterday. Approxi¬mately 600 student answered thequestionnaire. Of these 315 endorsedthe President’s program, while therewere 236 voices raised against him.Only 38 students were unable to com¬ment on the talk because they werenot familiar with its contents.Majority Oppose Lend-LeaseThese results were roughly par¬alleled on the question of the passingof the “lend-lease” bill; 201 opposedits passing and 247 thought it a nec¬essary law. Practically none of thevoters were swayed in their opinionon the bill by the Hutchins talk. Thepoll also indicated a noticeable growthin the feeling that the foreign policyof the present administration is lead¬ing the country to war. 407 studentssaid that Roosevelt was marching usto the brink while only 136 thoughthe was averting a conflict. When thissame question was asked on the 25thi of October 686 answered that he wasand 414 claimed he was maintainingpeace.Against WarOf the 236 who disagreed withHutchins as to “all out” aid to Britain,only 60 were in favor of an immediatedeclaration of war on the Axis Pow¬ers, while 461 voters denied that adeclaration was necessary. A largemajority of balloters are apparentlywilling to fight to protect the integrityof the United States’ possessions; thevoting was 405 in favor of fighting forthe territories to 116 unwilling to doso. This is a majority of more thanfour to one. The majority in favorof such action last fall was only abouttwo and a third to one.Many were unable to decide definite¬ly whether England would win thewar but those that did express theiropinions revealed the following fig¬ures: 278 believe the British willachieve ultimate victory and 148 didnot.(Continued on page four)Anti-HutchinsGroup SponsorsRadio ProgramA radio program in opposition tothe anti-interventionist attitude ofpresident Hutchins will be presentedby Student Defenders of Democracy,a newly formed student organization,tonight at 9:30 over station WMAQ.Among those speaking will beMaury Maverick, former member ofcongress and mayor of San Antonio;Harry Bigham, editor of the maga¬zine, “Common Sen.se;” HerbertSwope, Jr. of the Committee ofThirty Million, Lawson of “Oppor¬tunity Magazine,” Walter Wanger,and a woman representative of labor.Dorothy Overlock a Universitygraduate of 1939 is executive secre¬tary of the committee.Bergquist CommitteeEnds Petition DriveMembers of the Committee toStrengthen Democracy By KeepingAmerica Out of War last night vir¬tually wound up their two-day driveto secure signatures of students en¬dorsing President Hutchins’ recentradio address.“I think our work has been valuablein crystallizing campus sentiment andthe number of names we secured indi¬cates President Hutchins has consid¬erable campus backing,” said LauraBergquist, Committee chairman.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

E. S. L.(concluded tomorrow)The Traveling BazaarBy DICK HIMMELLaugh of the Day.... Perez de Sola ZaRerin was rapping blithely ona dormitory door yesterday in a loud manner. The op¬posite door opened and a young lady appeared clad in avery negligee negligee. This was the men’s dorms mindyou .... Perez, ever the diplomat, did not like to seea student get caught with a woman in his room so heturned on his heels and scooted from the dorms . . . .It was only later that Perez found out that the ladywas Mrs. John Van de Water. Vandy and his wife liveat the dorms. He’s an entry head .... Moral: evil tohim who evil sees.Story of the Week.... A professor tells of a recent visit to another uni¬versity to attend a convention of university admini¬strators. The group of many many people were dividedup into smaller groups and each assigned to a specialroom to discuss a particular problem in college admini¬stration. After luncheon the entire body listened to thedean of that university tell about the students on hiscampus. “They are fine young men and women here.Wholesome and clean, outside and in.’’ At this point twostudents flew across the auditorium but this has nothingto do with the story .... Returning to the individualmeeting rooms,, this particular professor found thedoor locked. He sent for the janitor and in the mean¬time the men in the hall were discussing the wholesomeand academic character of the college they were visiting.Whn the janitor opened the door there was a youngman and a woman on a couch being neither wholesomeor academic.We fear the losses to freedom of speech andfreedom of wwship which would inevitably re¬sult if we geared the whole country for defenseover a long period of time. We fear the threatto our senses of courage, justice, and temper¬ance which would come from a policy of buildingour army and waiting. We would certainly notbe free from fear if Hitler won. A people on per¬petual starvation rations somehow lack thehigh moral purpose which Mr. Hutchins wouldhave us develop by preparedness.Undeniable AssumptionsCan the assumptions that Mr. Hutchins de¬nies are valid in view of the facts, be denied?Is it not apparent that totalitarian states with¬out united democratic effort exerted againstthem, will certainly win the war? And is it notequally apparent that, once victorious, they willhave the inclination to attack us militarily oreconomically, will find themselves in a positionto do so, and will eventually find it possible todo so.Mr. Hutchins makes an important issue ofour moral unpreparedness. He presents asplendid case against the imperfections of ourdemocracy, and denounces eloquently the manyinstances of violations of its principles. He for¬gets, however, that we have at least reached anapproximation of real democracy in this coun¬try, and that we can see clearly enough the ef¬fect of its most grievous perversions to workvigilantly to end them. He says a missionarymust have clear convictions to convert canni¬bals to the principles of Christianity. But havethere ever been missionaries who were perfectChristians ? They had reached, perhaps, a great¬er approximation of Christianity than their fel¬lows ; we have reached a greater approximationof democracy than any other nation.Ghastly TruthIn his discussion of the unemployment prob¬lem in its relation to the war crisis, he says thatwe should have want and fear because of job¬lessness if it were not for the war-time use ofour productive capacity. He says “we shall havewant and fear ‘when the present needs of ourdefense are past.’ ” This is true. It is a ghastlytruth. But the want and fear we shall have aftera short period of production primarily for de¬fense, will be as nothing compared to the wantand fear we shall suffer if we are forced to“bend every energy to the construction of anadequate navy and air force and the trainingof an adequate army .... adequate for defenseagainst any power or combination of powers”over an indefinite period of years.War will “mean only the loss of social gains,”says Mr. Hutchins. War will mean the loss of.some social gains for a short time, if it finallybecomes necessary. But we will have a chanceof recovering these gains when the war is over.We did in 1918.Lesser of EvilsBut can we expect to maintain our social |gains if “the need,” not of the moment, but for ja period of tens of years, “is that our actions •and our policy should be devoted primarily tOjmeeting this foreign peril.” And how can we News from T. V. Smith.... T. V. Smith, former professor and former congress¬man-at-large, is playing an evasion game with the Ma¬roon. Finally he was contacted in Texas and he wrroteback:Dear Himmel: (he always calls me Himmel)“The only news I have to report is that I am doingan airplane tour of Texas this week on the Hogg Foun¬dation to discuss education in the present crisis. I rec¬ommend to you when you become a wealthy alumnvs(Mr. Smith let me explain is an “ignorant man and aphilosopher’’) of the University of Chicago follow theexample of Mr. Will Hogg with reference to his AlmaMater and mine. He left all his money, but left it tobring, in large part, national lectures not to the Uni¬versity of Texas which like all Universities is lecturedto death, but to send lecturers out to the people of thestate, to the people who do not often hear the very liesttalent.Hoping you are the same, in intention, I am, as be¬fore, Sincerely yours.” T. V. SmithAnswer I Did Not SendDear Honorable T. V. Smith, ignorant man and aphilosopher:It seems unlikely that I shall ever be a wealthyalumnus and still less likely that I shall ever have thename Hogg tacked on to my name. But if I ever should,Mr. Smith, I too would delegate you to go on lecturetours, not to universities, for you are right there,universities are lectured to death, but I would send ason of the people to the people. And you, Mr. Smith,I think is a son of the people. I would have you whipoff to Alaska and lecture in one igloo after the otherigloo. F'or you are truly destined for the Eskimo.Hoping you will be, as you were, as you are notnow, ever humble, ever ignorant, and iber a philosopher.Most sincerely, HimmelThey Buck EvolutionBy MARGARET ANN KUEFFNERGrandfather shocked the world when he announcedthat he believed in evolution.Today his grandson can produce the same effect byasserting that he doesn’t.“I know animals, and I know man. I just can’t seeany relation between the two,” stated a business schoolmember of the Christian Youth League to a Maroonreporter. There are thirty members of this group oncampus, and all of them are confirmed Fundamentalists—Fundamentalists are people who don’t uphold the Re¬lief that man is a product of animal evolution. So nexttime you students crack your Bi Sci books, rememberthat what you’re reading is not accepted universally atthe University of Chicago.No Rational Basis For BeliefWhen asked how he came upon his theories anothersaid, “We don’t claim any rational basis for our be¬lief. It’s something we get from actual experience withthe Holy Spirit.” Some revealed that they do acceptevolution for the lower forms of animal life as es¬sentially correct. “The acceptance of the creation ofman as a special divine act is the most important partof our belief.”Though there has been one Catholic in the group,at present all are Protestants.

Theother youngster is big Mike Dough¬erty, who has the gargantuan taskof filling Mike Novak’s size 16 shoesthis season. Dougherty has not suc¬ceeded at last report.Rotter StarsThe forward assignments are han-dUnl by veteran Danny Cahill, andsmall Mickey Rotter. Mickey is wellknown in the city as a high schoolimmortal, and a “windy-city” leaguefire-brand.In addition, for the first time thiswinter, Sachs is able to use two highschool sensations if he sees fit.

The group grew until today the’Birds number 20, eight of whom livein their own house at 6434 Ingleside.Known mainly for their intramuralsports success (they won the Organi¬zation Point Trophy last year; thefirst independent outfit to do so since1929) the Jailbirds have a well-knitorganization. Ernie Brogmus, individ¬ual intramural point champion lastyear, Everett Gustafson, pre med stu¬dent, and Bob Elson, a chem major,are last of the original group.Faculty MembersNewlywed Stan Sweany, anothermedical student, competes in footballand diving. The “cons” boast two fac¬ulty members and a recent Phi Bete;Winston Bostick, physics instructorand assistant to Arthur Compton, isflanked by Richard Kadesch, instructorin chemistry. Tom Brill is the “brain”.Julie Levinson, basketball cheerleader, and Davy Kritchevsky arerated the more “spirited” of the groupwhile the host of good athletes isheaded by versatile Lenny Weigel.

To quote Ernie Brogmus, “Outof a hat!” By BOB LAWSONInteresting to University tennis fansare the rankings recently released bythe Western Tennis association.First familiar name in the list isthat of Seymour Greenberg of North¬western University. Greenberg isnumber one man on the Wildcat squadand last year led them to a Big Tenchampionship, shearing Chicago of thetitle. He is ranked number three inmen’s singles behind Bobby Riggs andWilliam Talbert.Sawyier TenthIn tenth place in the same divisionis Cal Sawyier. Sawyier, captain andnumber one of the Maroon team thisyear, could have been graduated thisquarter but arranged his schedule inorder to compete the next two seasons.One of the most welcome sights isthe appearance of William Baumannand Bob Smidl in third position inmen’s doubles. Smidl is the apple ofCoach Hebert’s eye and is only afreshman. Two other familiar teamsare also listed. Greenberg and JerryClifford, winners of the Conferencenumber one doubles last year, are infifth place. The star duo of Art Jor¬genson artd Charlie Shostrom, regu¬lars on the 1940 Chicago squad takeseventh place.Smidl AgainSmidl pops up again in the juniorsingles as runner-up to Gardner Lar-ned. He and Baumann also teamed upto take second in the junior doubles.All this adds up to a pretty fairfuture for the tennis team. In addi¬tion to Smidl, Hebert has another out¬standing freshman in Johnny Jorgen¬son, younger brother of Art. YoungJorgenson and Smidl make a gooddoubles team themselves, in additionto playing singles. IFuture RosyAdd to these two a better-than-aver-:age freshman squad and some juniors ^who will be playing regularly this!year such as Bud Lifton and BobWeedfall and the tennis future of Chi¬cago looks rosy.In the seven years in which Con-:ference championships have been iawarded in tennis Chicago has won ifive and Northwestern two, giving 'these boys a tradition to cling to. jMaroons Sink Shawnee A.

Road Made ByHand Says ChartrandBy JIM BURTLE“Practically made by hand” was theBurma Road, which has been so im¬portant in recent news headlines, ac¬cording to Stan Chartrand, graduatestudent in Social Sciences, who taughtfor three years in a mission school inBurma. Chartrand spent one of hissummer vacations in the territoryalong which the road was built. He isone of the few Americans who sawthe road under construction.The road, he says, runs over 750miles and crosses elevations as high as10,000 feet. It was built in the phe¬nomenally short time of one yearthrough the efforts of 100,000 coolielaborers under the supervision ofChinese engineers graduated fromAmerican universities. “Bars, sticks,hammers, chisels, and bare hands”were about the only tools used inbuilding the road. Hand baskets tookthe place of steam shovels. OneFrench pneumatic drill was the onlypiece of machinery available. All workon the road was done without pay.Each Chinese coolie was expected totrsCOLLEGENIGHTFridayir ★RAYHERBECKand his Orchestra★ ★ProfessionalFloor Shows★ ★Gay CollegeEntertainment★ ★GET SPECIAL RATESTUDENT TICKETS ATMAROON OFFICE★ ★MARINEDINING ROOMEDGEWATERBEACHHOTEL contribute at least two weeks of work.In addition to the lack of equipmentand the mountainous nature of thecountry, the Chinese had to contendwith Monsoon rains from May to Oc¬tober, malaria, and Japanese propa¬ganda.Closing UnimportantAccording to Chartrand, the “open¬ing and closing” of the Burma Road,that was played up so strongly in theAmerican press, was relatively unim¬portant except for diplomatic reasonsbecause at that time the Monsoonswere vei'y heavy and made traffic overthe road comparatively small regard¬less of whether or not it was officiallyopened or closed. However the road isbeing constantly improved so that thehindrance of the rains to travel willbe less in the future.“The British”, he said, “will prob¬ably keep the road open because theyfeel that it will not ever be a causefor a break w’ith Japan”. One dangerto the road, he said, lies in the pos¬sibility of the Japanese bombing twoimportant bridges along the Mekongand Salween rivers. However, he saidferries are held in readiness for usein case of a successful air raid. An¬other difficulty in bombing thesebridges lies in their position betweenhigh mountains; for a plane to divelow enough to bomb accurately in sucha region is considered very difficult.Burma Independent of IndiaBurma, Chartrand says, should notbe considered part of India. Since1936, it has had its own provincialgoventment and is not affiliated withthe Indian Nationalist Congress. Thenatives who appear to be of Mongoloidorigin, differ markedly in physiqueand in language from the inhabitantsof India proper.Mirror StudiesGirls PosterContest EntriesAmong the entries in the Mirrorposter contest is one by Elsa Teller.It consists of two buxom can-cangirls, garters and all, done in blue,white, and brown.

No For AnAnswerBy PEREZ de SOLA ZAGORINThe American people are being bar-raged by the greatest battery of hy¬pocrisy ever witnessed in this countryThe president of the United Statestells us that we are aiding China.Those who know the facts know thatChina is fighting a democratic war,not for empire, but for liberty and in¬dependence. And so they can revealthe true policy of the administrationwhen it talks about its aid to China.Since the war began in the FarEast, The United States has been sup¬plying Japan with 86% of the mate¬rials which she needs to carry on herwar. At the same time, we have givenChina 125 million dollars, a mere to¬ken. The president ha.s continued togrant licenses to corporations sellingmaterials to Japan. The so-called em¬bargo is a fake. And yet we are toldthat we do not appease fascism. And,while we continue our appeasement ofJapan, we embark on a program ofnational defense supposed to protectAmerican liberties. The president hadno difficulty in embargoing LoyalistSpain, thereby helping to destroy theSpanish republic. Now he finds it im¬possible to embargo Japan.Permits Negro SegregationWhat this mean is that the presi¬dent may not be interested in defend¬ing democracy. At the same time ashe appeases Japan, he permits negrosegregation and discrimination in theU. S. army; he allows the civil rightsof minority parties to be suppressed;he demands powers which gpve him alicense for war and a permanent leaseon dictatorship.How long will it be before theAmerican people see through this hy¬pocrisy, not only on the position ofJapan, but in its whole policy?We are faced once and for all withthe fateful choice: Shall we select warand fascism, or peace and democracy?H R 1776, an act coming to us in theguise of national defense, is a bill toHitlerize America. We have faithenough in our people to know whattheir reply will be.“Government of the People...”One essential of the democratic proc¬ess is that government obey thewishes of the people. February 8 and9, the American Youth Congress isto hol<l its town meeting in Washing¬ton to lobby against the dictatorshipbill and other projected undemocraticlegislation. We at the University ofChicago should be represented. If theprostituted press will not tell Congresswhat the American people are think¬ing, then youth will. Let us give thelie to the hypocrisy in high places;let youth make the legislators hearkento the will of the people who are theirmasters. Once for all, say together,“The Yanks Are Not Coming.” H.R.1776(Continued from page one)When asked if the United Stateswould enter the war, 367 votes ans¬wered in the affirmative and 119 in thenegative. This ratio of three to oneis roughly similar to the 662-278 voteturned in last quarter. The last ques¬tion concerning the relative probabili¬ty of Hutchins’ new moral order com¬ing from a policy of isolation on thepart of the U. S. even if it resultsin a British defeat or an Anglo-American victory at the price of par¬ticipation was answered by less than600 of the 600 balloters. The votingwas nearly even with 233 placingtheir hope in isolation and 216 inparticipation with the supposition ofvictory.In considering these figures, thereader should realize that only a smallfraction of the student body voted andthat it was not impossible for a groupof students more interested in theworld situation than others to undulyinfluence the vote.Gilkey—(Continued from page one 1)views against the war policy of theirown faculties.Resentment AroseThe resentment which arose in the Poll ProvokesComments, CracksOn Ballot MarginsBy STUART SCHULBERGVaried in length and wisdom werethe comments scribbled in the marginsof Maroon war ballots. Ranging froma 160-w’ord essay on America’s futureto a succinct, “to hell with the wholedamned poll”, they did much to cheertired ballot-counters.Most typical message, however,dealt with question 10 which askedwhether a policy of isolation or inter¬vention would most likely result uiHutchins “new moral order”. Not con-tent with these two alternatives, manya student furnished his own answer,usually a plea for a “people’s peace”.The bitter young man who wrote“Hutchins needs glasses; he is short¬sighted” probably takes the prize fororiginality, although she who brandedthe whole poll as “obnoxious” runshim a close second. A special award isbeing considered for the serious char¬acter who warned “Fascism, Ameri¬can, British, or German tastes thesame”.east when some professors called theirstudents unpatriotic and cowardly, islikely to find expression in enthusias¬tic support for Hutchins by the stu¬dents. “Hutchins understands how wefeel,” they will say.TOPStnNEW FICTION• FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLSBy Ernest Hemingway• SAPPHIRA AND THE SUVE GIRLBy Willa Gather• OLIVER WISWELLBy Kenneth Roberts• RANDOM HARVESTBy James HiltonGet Your Copies at theU.ofC.
