Vol. 41. No. 18 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1941 Price Three CentsHe's 2461 Years OldToday And Its AllBull—But Iranium.. .the old boy celebrates today.The famou.s stone bull head is one'of the most immense pieces of sculp-:ture ever discovered, weighing ap-1proximately ten tons. It is part of a ;statue which formed a portion of the |anta on the east side of the porticoof the Hundred Column Hall, alsoknown as Xerxes’ audience hall, on |the site of the fortified palace terraceat Persepolis, which dates back to!about 620 B.C. 1Part of the neck of the statue, the jchest, and the two forelegs still re-1main where the head was discovered.The top of the head, the right eye,part of the left eye, and a portion ofthe neck have been restored. Sincehorns and ears for this type of head i have never been found, experts haveconcluded that they were made ofdifferent materials and were attachedby dowels.The Oriental Institute’s Iranian Ex¬pedition was responsible for the ex¬cavation of the head and the establish¬ing of it in Chicago. It was, perhaps,the most spectacular piece foundwhere the palace terrace at Persepolisstood before it was wrecked by thearmies of Alexander the Great in 331B.C. at the time of the overthrow ofthe great Persian Empire. Construc¬tion of the place was begun about520-516 B.C. by Darius the Great andcontinued by his son Xerxes and by(Continued on page four)Oldsters Gather ToStage MasterpieceFaculty, alumni, and other members of the University community willtake part in the production of “The Beggar’s Opera,’’ satirical classic, underthe auspices of the University of Chicago Settlement board Nov. 7 and 8 atthe University.Marking the first presentation in Chicago of “The Beggar’s Opera’’ inmore than a decade, the shows will be in Leon Mandel Hall, 57th street andUniversity avenue, at 8:30 p.m.The famous musical satire originally established the reputation of itsauthor, John Gay, when it ran continuously for more than a century follow¬ing its premiere in 1728. It has been revived frequently in this secondcentury of its existence. Appearances in Chicago in recent years includethose in 1921 and 1922, and again in 1928 and 1929 by the London Company,a British group. Women SupportDouglas ForSenate JobBy BETTY WATERSThree women who are prominent onthe quadrangles of the Universityhave given their reasons for theiropinion that Alderman Paul H. Doug¬las, professor of economics, wouldmake an excellent Democratic candi¬date for the nomination for UnitedStates senator in the April primaries.They are: Mrs. Clifton Utley, Mrs.Theodore Yntema, and Mrs. CharlesGilkey. The names of all three ap¬peared among the eighty signatureson the second petition sent to Doug¬las on October 6.Mrs. Utley, a member of the Boardof Directors of Lying In Hospital,was very clear and explicit in statingher reasons for her choice of Doug¬las as a senator.“I approve of his principles andstandards and feel he is a marvelouscombination of intelligence and hon¬esty.’’ In addition, Mrs. Utley pointedout that as a senator is necessarilyforced into a great deal of research,Douglas is an ideal candidate, since,as a great scholar, he will know justwhere to go for his information, in¬stead of wasting hours on uselesssearching like the average layman.(Continued on page four)Keystone ToElect LeadersWednesdayWith more than 60 Universitywomen signing as members of Key¬stone yesterday, the new women’s fed¬erations held its first open and of¬ficial meeting in the Ida Noyes thea¬tre.At the same time, nominations weremade for the officers of the variouscommittees and the assembly chair¬man. All future nominations will behanded in at the Maroon office, it wasannounced today, and must be in be¬fore Wednesday when the electionwill take place.Meantime, on Friday, Keystone willthrow a “coketail” party with all Uni¬versity women invited. Held in the“Y” room of Ida, cokes and cookieswill be served for 15c charge.In releasing details of Keystone tothe Maroon, Shirlee Smith, one of theoriginal organizers, announced thatyesterday’s meeting was well attend¬ed by club girls and she expressed theconviction that firm club believers willfind Keystone a valuable organizationto supplement their campus activities.Keystone is the culmination of amonth-old plan to organize on theQuadrangles a federation for all Uni¬versity women. In order to insurecomplete participation from all partsof the campus, the organization isopen to every interested woman, whilethere are no annual dues or financialobligations.Settings of OperaSettings of the satirical opera are in a home and a tavern in London andin famous old Newgate prison. The music is a potpourri of English, Scottishand Irish folk songs.Miss Anna G. Pickens, Mrs. W. R. Morgan, and David Cox will play theleading roles in the opera. Mrs. Morgan will take the part of Polly Peachum,the role which made famous Lavinia Kenton, who acted the original Pollyin England more than two centuries ago. Miss Pickens will play the roleof Lucky Lockit, and Mr. Cox that of Captain Macheath.Other members of the cast include Mrs. Paul S. Russell, wife of a trusteeof the University, Dr. George V. Bobrinskoy, assistant professor of Sanskrit,Dr. Robert J. Havighurst, professor of education, and Dr. Martin E. Hanke,associate professor of biochemistry.Dateless Wonders Get BreakAt Federation Tea Dance“Attention! Women of the campus don’t forget your date!’’ As thoughthey could. Federation wants all women to select their men and bring them tothe tea dance in Ida Noyes Sunday afternoon.To entertain the University’s women and their guests of the day. Federa¬tion will provide music on records, Ida Noyes Library from 4 to 7, and re¬freshments. All that the hostesses must provide is a 65 cent ticket. Not muchfor an afternoon’s entertainment, or is it ? PostponeBingo PartyThe Reynolds Club open house Bin-go Party has been postponed untilNovember 17 because of conflicts onMonday, the 3rd. To defray the costof prizes being offered, a fee of 30cper couple or 17c per single admissionwill be charged. That includes tax.The Reynolds Club has set Novem¬ber 25, 26, and 27 as the most con¬venient date for the tourney. Lastyear’s winner, the Flying A’s, will de¬fend its title against several strongteams, among them the Beta’s andAlpha Delt’s, second and third placewinners.Ted Zurawic has been appointedsecretary-treasurer to fill the postvacated by the resignation of HalSteffie, who is the new Council chair¬man. Zurawic is a scholarship winner,athletic director •of Hitchcock, and apast assembly member of the Ellisco-op. Phi Gams ForfeitDirty Rushing Bond ‘Habicht SpeaksOn Penal CodeBeginning his speech by saying thathe was one “who believed interna¬tional law was still being enforcedtoday,’’ Dr. Max Habicht, formerlyof the League of Nation’s Secretariatand a Swiss citizen, discussed thepossibilities of an international penalcode yesterday afternoon at 4:30 inthe Social Sciences Assembly Room.Habicht pointed out that variousconventions adopted under the aus-P’' of the League of Nations hadalready done much to curb' trafficin women and children, traffic in ob¬scene literature, peddling of harm¬ful drugs, and slaveryThe international traffic of womenand children in particular has beenalmost completely abolished. Some 50states combined to wipe it out.Dr. Habicht declared that close col¬laboration between nations is essentialto the development of an internationalcriminal law code. The various na¬tional courts and police forces, in par¬ticular, must cooperate closely.International TerrorismFollowing the shooting of KingAlexander of Yugoslavia and Frenchpremier, Louis Barthou, by Hungar¬ian terrorists, the League began workon an international court to hearcases concerning international terror¬ism. In 1937 a convention was adoptedsetting up such a court in the Haguewhere it could benefit from the moreexperienced World Court already insession there.As only 10 states had ratified theconvention before the present war be¬gan the plan is not now in effect.“In the future there will be a directresponsibility of citizens of every stateto a world community.’’ Dr. Habichtwent on to draw a parallel betw'eenthe 48 states of this country and thefederal government. A citizen of Illi¬nois owes his loyalites to two govern¬ments. Under the new order visual-ibed by Dr. Habicht citizens of sover¬eign states would owe loyalites totheir own governments and a worldorganization.Latest Edition OfPulse Falls ShortPulse has returned to its formerstatus of being a magazine with bigideas and high school writing.In its issue out today Pulse disap¬points those who expected the bigthings promised by the last issue.Probably the worst comment to bemade about Pulse is that it will eje-cite little or no comment, and that isprecisely what characterizes this one.It presents some brief surveys ofarcheology, meteorology, and a few... Rathje and Liskaother things. There is another in theseries reviewing the Chicago Plan byAudrey Joyce; Frank Hickman Ether-ton is in again with a Traveling Ba¬zaar in short pants. Demarest Pola-chek wanders in and out of the mazesof record-reviewing.In fact, ten minutes after you’velaid the magazine down you can’t re¬member what you’ve read unless yourname was in there somewhere. Phi Gamma Delta must forfeittheir dollar-a-man bond as a directresult of dirty rushing, Clayton Trae-ger, president of the Inter-FraternityCouncil announced today.This action was taken when I-Flearned that the Phi Gams invited “anumber of freshmen” to a party Sat¬urday aboard the yacht of an alumnusof the fraternity. Apparently, the firstyear men were offered cokes, beer andfood as the ship cruised from 10 inthe morning to 10 that evening onLake Michigan.In announcing the charges, Traegersaid, “I-F Council, after investigatingall the facts, has decided that PhiGamma Delta must forfeit their dol¬lar-a-man bond.” This bond is postedat the beginning of each year by ev¬ery house on the Quadrangles and isforfeited if the fraternity is foundguilty of dirty rushing.Seriousness of SituationSpeaking of the seriousness of thesituation, Traeger warned, “A secondoffense will mean that the house willbe put on social probation for thequarter, which means they will be un¬able to pledge their class.”This action coincides with Traegersstatement at Tuesday’s fraternitymen’s meeting in the Reynold’s Club.At that time, he dealt with the rumorsof illegal rushing on campus by stat¬ing, “We’ll take more active steps in¬cluding policing . . . and we’ll followup anonymous tips about dirty rush¬ing.”When announcing this first act ofthe I-F’s self-styled “police force”,Traeger warned the class of ’45 to bewary of the dirty rusher. “The I-]F«t\.Council urges freshmen not to acceptthis type of invitation since the con¬sequences are not pleasant for eitherparty.”Mrs. Hutchins’Canvas In ArtExhibit SundayThe first in a series of exhibitionsof American art sponsored by theRenaissance Society opens Sundaywith paintings of Chicago artistsloaned by Chicago collectors.Among the 20 canvasses is a smallsketch-like oil of a girl in brownsand yellows, by Mrs. Hutchins. Mem¬bers of the faculty who have contrib¬uted paintings are Miss Van Papelen-dam, and Mr. Giesbert, whose picture“Susie,” is supposed to be one of hisbest works.The show is a mixture of conserva¬tive and modern art, a cross section ofChicago work. Canvasses include thoseby Emil Armin, Copeland Burg, Aar¬on Bohrod, F. Chapin, G. Dalstrom,Julio de Diego, Cathrine Dudley, andRudolph Weisenborn.Among those lending pictures areWalter Brewster, C. J. Bulliet, artcritic of the News, J. Z. Jacobson, S.Needleman, John Nef, Dr. Rappaport,R. Rorem, Victoria Sperry, Mrs. C.Starke, and Charles Worchester.The exhibit will continue throughNovember 22, winding up concurrent¬ly with National Art Week.Adler Airs ViewsIn Inl QuarterlyMortimer Adler’s “Optimistic Viewof History” will be aired in the falledition of the International HouseQuarterly which will be published Fri¬day. The article is a condensation of atalk made by Mr. Adler last June atInternational House.“Students in European InternmentCamps” is the subject of an articleby Everrett Melby in the Quarterly.Mr. Melby, a former student of theUniversity, is now connected with theEuropean Student Relief Fund.Letters from England and a de¬scription of “Invasion by Short Wave”by a former German Ptablic Relationsofficer are also in the fall issue.VcuLl!

The fraternityrushing meeting must have once and for allsmashed any fond hopes of anyone that rushingthis year is according to the rules of the IFcouncil. When fraternities admit they “dirtyrush” we think it is pretty good evidence thatfraternities dirty rush.But we are not writing to pass any kind of ajudgement on fraternities rushing. Some of ourworthy predecessors have exhorted the frater¬nities to rush clean and spent many weary hoursfinding examples of dirty rushing. We have nosuch projects in mind. Under the present rush¬ing rules we expect to see rushing carried onaccording to the law of the jungle rather thanthe IF rules. The trouble is that the rushingrules are way ahead of the rushing mores andwe see no possibility of any adjustments inrushing mores in the near future. Getting newmembers is considered quite important in mostfraternity houses.Police Force??We would like to see the IF council criticallyevaluate the possibility of it functioning as apolice force, and then decide that the rushingrules should be simplified. We would like to seethe rushing rules limited to activities plannedby the houses as a whole without any attemptto control the activities of individual fraternitymen. We think efforts of the IF council to keepfraternity men from helping to acquaint fresh¬men with this big city are bound to come tonothing.One of our able research workers has dis¬covered that in the Middle Ages in rushing newconverts different monasteries frequently cheat¬ed each other. Well documented sources showthat sometimes overenthusiastic Franciscansor Dominicans sometimes took prospective mem¬bers to a good witch burning outside of the con¬fines of the monastery. The inquisition was keptbusy investigating charges and counter charg¬es of the different monasteries against each oth¬er. Finally the Pope, thoroughly disgusted, sentout a sturdy Papal Bull that henceforth all themonks should simplify the rushing rules to limitmainly only the functions of the monasteriesas a whole and that these rules should be en¬forced with Medieval rigor.Learn from HistoryOf course fraternity men are not exactlylike the doughty Franciscans and Dominicans.But from history we sometimes can learn a fewlessons. One great seer whose name we can’tremember once said “when one law is not en¬forced, it corrupts all law.” Although we don’tconsider the rushing problem an important cam¬pus issue, we think there is some truth in theproverb quoted and think it would be much bet¬ter for the IF council to be content with a fewrigorously enforced rules than to try to makeitself a little F.B.I. on campus.Expanding LibrariesBy JI.M MC CLEARNecessity for expansion of the university librarieswas the keynote of an interview with M. L. Raney, Di¬rector of Libraries. Speaking of the increasing difficultyof the library situation. Dr. Raney declared that “some¬thing must be done w'ithin the next two years.’’ He thenwent on to tell of one of the plans which he has pro¬posed and which has been approved by the LibraryBoard but as yet appears to be some distance in the fu¬ture.“The library problem is a multiple problem,” statedDr. Raney, “but by solving its individual problems wehope to straighten out the whole difficulty.” He thenexplained that there were three main areas of dif- By DegreesBy GEORGE MC ELROYThat apostle of culture for the businessman, WilberJerger, felt very hurt by the implications of the an¬nouncement in last Friday’s Maroon, that he was teach¬ing a course in Faulkner School for girls. It was tech¬nically correct—Jerk is giving a course in The GreatBooks and it meets at Faulkner (every other Tues.,price $15 for 17 meetings—adv.)—but it is not for theFaulkner girls.In fact, as anyone who has read the Hyde Park Her¬ald (i.e. anyone who has come within arm’s length ofWilber) knows, it is a course to decrease the “illiteracyof the educated,” and no one would want to accuse thefuture Quads and Sigmas, who are the little darlingsof Faulkner, of being in that classification. The courseis composed of mature people—that is, people oldenough to be able to spend $15—and meets at Faulknerin return for $1 janitor fee and free admission for MissFaulkner.Some mean souls are saying that Jerk will have tobe a better magician than he was at the carnival toteach the tired lawyers and doctors, all doubtless suffer¬ing from intellectual malnutrition, that he’s collecting,but with the help of his co-leader, Lorraine Watson Par¬sons, he ought to do all right. He has the salesmanshipand she’ll have the goods, in quantities. She used to beSenior .A.ide, Phi Beta Kappa, Mirror Chorine, and every¬thing else around here, and is even credited with per¬ceptibly raising the intellectual standards of the MortarBoards for a year or so. After that, this should be acinch.The Strangest PeopleAs a matter of fact, the strangest people are doingthe strangest things everywhere these days. One ex¬pects girls, even whizbangs like Alice Meyer, to windup as stenographers after taking MA’s in English or^some such impractical subject. But consider the boyswho were studying philosophy last year. Tom Stauffer,the sage of the tea-cups, who was confidently expectedto produce an .\ristotelian Emily Post any time, isworking for a steel company (in the fond hope that hewould thus become indispensible. He hasn’t).Stuart MacClintock, instead of writing the “Poeticsof the Triple Feature” and “Logic of the Busted Flush,”for which he so assiduously gathered material lastyear, is taking a correspondence course from the Xavyin How to Be an Ensign. Roland Whitman, having got¬ten engaged, is leaving the pursuit of culture to fianceMarilyn Morgan and is pursuing cash by bt'ing a per¬sonnel administrator at Armour and Co. (He explainshis job very logically—“philosophy,” to the business ear,means “psychology;” hence personnel. Which is fineas long as he doesn’t ring in I)e Aninia or John Locke onthe poor employes, when they expect Freud). jNotes from the Cuff jSidelight on Briti.^h morale, as disclosed by Arundel IEsdaiie in his chat on English Libraries: A bomb fell Ion a small home of Tunbridge Wells, dislocating the 'bathtub, which slithered merrily out of the bathroom jdoor, down the steps, and out into the street. Which 'would have been unremarkable, had it not contained ithe 18-year old maid-servant. Passing gentlemen rushed ;to her rescue with overcoats, and all she said was “Don’t ;let my parents know. They would be so worried.” “And.” Isaid Mr. Esdaiie, “that sort of thing is haiipening all jthe time.” iThe value of higher education is really receiving ;recognition these days. few years ago the prize ,graduate student of the History department was Gor- |don McNeill.

This building would contain all books necessaryfor the survey courses and many of those for the Col¬lege sequences, such as English Literature and Botany-Zoology-Physiology. This would be a vast improvementover the present system where college books are scat¬tered throughout the various libraries on the quad¬rangles.“The second problem, that is, the Natural Sciences.”explained the Library Director, “is one of constructinga bridge between the Science buildings on the northernhalf of the campus such as Botany and Zoology with theMedical Group east of Ellis Avenue. The logical placefor such a library is the corner now occupied by theUniversity Bookstore.”Erect TowerFor the Humanities and Social Sciences, and for therelief of fast-overflowing Harper, the proposal wouldcall for the erection of a tower directly in front ofHarper between the Business and Law Schools. Thistower, standing fifty feet from each of the three pres¬ent buildings, would be tied by a connecting bridge toHarper. The affair would be so arranged that the floorsin the tower would be devoted to subjects closely alliedwith the corresponding floors in Harper.To alleviate the crowded area which would result,both Business and Law Schools would be removed. TheBusiness School which is already somewhat decrepitwould be torn down and Law would be moved over towhere the Women’s Residence Halls now stand whilethey in turn would migrate across the Midway. Fellowship Of ReconciliationTop Student Peace Group In IL S.With membership totaling over'3,000 on college campuses throughout Ithe nation, .the Fellowship of Recon- iciliation is the largest student peace Jorganization in America today, it w’as |revealed late yesterday by the organ¬ization’s national executive youth sec¬retary, John M. Swomley, as he con- jferred in Rockefeller Memorial Chap-1el with local FOR members,Fellow'ship of Reconciliation is aninternational pacifist movement withbeliefs much like Quakers, Dunkers,and Mennonites. tending Chicago Theological Seminarj-and noontide speeches at a place tobe announced later.Telegram counters in Reynold’sClub annex and Ida Noyes Hall wherefor five cents Senators may be urged“not to repeal the neutrality law,”are being operated by the local FORgroup, it \vas further shown. Officehours for the campus Fellowship ofReconciliation, which is located in thebasement of Rockefeller MemorialChapel, are from one until five in theafternoon during the academic week.Swomley, a Phi Beta Kappa gradu¬ate of Boston University, is on a na¬tion-wide speaking tour before youthgroups. He gained news prominencewhen excerpts of his speech before theSenate Military Affairs Committeeopposing enactment of selective serv¬ice appeared in Time Magazine, Thesection used referred to prostitutioncommon to army camps and was used !by Time in illustrating governmentattempts to control venereal diseases.Speaking briefly of inter-collegiatepacifist organization, Swomley citedwork accomplished in race tensionareas of Harlem in New' York.

Taking its place withthis .system now is the “Y” formationthat has been devised by Coach OssieSolem of Syracuse. In the new forma¬tion the line is balanced, the halfbackswide, the quarterback behind the cen¬ter, but the fullback is closer to thescrimmage line, thus giving the for¬mation its name.Outstanding innovation of the ideais the fact that the center stands fac¬ing his own backfield. He tosses di¬rectly to any of his own backs andpulls out in a hurry to run interfer¬ences. To properly play the positionspeed is a necessary asset, and centerKen Beehner is well suited for thejob.

Bill DeCorrevonthas recovered from his attack of theflu last week and is back to normal.Don Clawson’s pre-season practice in¬jury has left him.Early next year the UniversityPress, in conjunction with thepress at the University of Wiscon¬sin, will publish the papers givenat the biology symposium conduct-^ed jointly by the two Universities*this fall.The two topics taken up at thesymposium were respiratory en¬zymes, and the biological action ofvitamins. The volume publishedhere will deal with vitamins, thatat Madison with enzymes.Dr. E. A. Evans Jr., Chairmanof the Department of Bio-chemis¬try, will edit the Chicago book. Maroon Harriers Compete InLoyola Invitational SaturdayPassing off last week’s victory overDe Paul with the comments, “Theywere as bad as we were,” and “Wewere on home grounds,” Coach NedMerriam looks forv/ard with even lessoptimism to the Loyola University In¬vitational meet to be held at Loyolaon Saturday, Nov. 1, at 11:00.With John Leggitt, Bud Tozer,Howard Winkleman, Harry Robertsand Bud Moran slated to compete inthis meet. Coach Merriam is bemoan¬ing the absence of runners Dahlbergand Randall. On the optimistic side,however, the coach mentions the factthat every race strengthens the teamand that they seem to be improvingwith every practice.Among the other teams competingwill be Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Uni¬versity of Grand Rapids, WheatonCollege, Illinois State Normal, East¬ern State Teachers of Charleston,Western State Teachers of Charles¬ton, and the University of Illinois.Swimming team members ArtBethke, Hank Heinichen, JoeBlakeman, John Crosby, LynLeach, and Bill Leach, accompaniedby Coach McGilvray, will give aswimming demonstration as one ofthe features preceding the AthleticDinner of the Union League Clubof Chicago, on Thursday, Nov. 6.The demonstrtaion will featureanalysis of the different strokesand styles, a diving exhibition byJohn Crosby, and a demonstrationof the medley relay featuringHank Heinichen, Freestyle; ArtBethke, breaststroke, and JoeBlakeman, backstroke. SoccerGetsAttentionSoccer has loomed into the campusinter-collegiate sports highlight thisfall, attracting wide student attentionas a result of the local teams’ splendidshowing made in the few seasons thatthe game has been played here at theUniversity.Since the game was incorporatedhere the team has suffered only onedefeat against a lucky Oberlin Collegeteam three weeks ago at Oberlin. Theteam is unanimous in its belief thatthey were the superior team that dayand the fact that the Oberlin fieldwas extremely muddy was a decidingfactor in the one point margin of vic¬tory.With a .500 percentage average todate winning one game and losing one,the team is anxiously awaiting thestrong Wheaton College team to incura double defeat, next November 8.Wheaton has always produced verystrong soccer teams. They hold theadvantage of playing eastern collegeteams but the Maroon squad has al¬ways managed to defeat them by atleast one point. As a result an intenserivalry between the two teams has re¬sulted, and each game is rich in inter¬squad brawls on the field.Chicago eagerly awaits the Whea¬ton team for their tussle on Saturday,November 8. Soccer is the main sportat the latter institution and carries ahuge spectator intei’est.Crisp and smart as a football day in October are Arrowwhite shirts, correct with any suit.

T\ o expedi¬tions during the past summer, anascent into the sub-stratosphere in aUnited Airlines plane, and a recentrelease of balloons in Stagg Field,have all been directed toward extend¬ing science’s knowledge about thesepenetrating rays.Both of the expeditions were con¬ducted at high altitudes, the first onthe Andes in Peru, the second atop14,000 foot Mount Evans in Colorado.Here the investigators, established inan experimental laboratory owned bythe University of Denver, spent sixweeks taking thousands of photo¬graphs of cosmic rays. Twice thescientists were snowed in by bliz¬zards.On the Colorado expedition wereDrs. M. Schein and V. H. Regener,Mr. D. B. Hall, and Mr. W. H. Bos¬tick. Drs. Arthur H. Compton, W. P.Jesse, E. 0. Wollan, D. J. Hughes,and N. H. Hilberry made up the per¬sonnel of the expedition to Peru.Gather Similar InformationThe balloons sent up in Stagg willgather information similar to thatobtained on the expeditions. Equippedw’ith self-recording apparatus enclos¬ed in the gondola, they are sent up inthe hope they will eventually be foundand returned. About eighty-five per¬cent are.Cosmic rays research is often doneat high levels, where the rays aremore plentiful and a greater varietyof types may be studied.While such research is mainly anextension of pure science, is has prac¬tical ramifications as well. Techniquesdeveloped in counting cosmic rays, forexample, are already being used inindustry in the prospecting and re¬fining of oil. Some envision the daywhen the energy stored in these rayscan be put to use in industry, but suchspeculation is as yet an idle dream, aptto remain so indefinitely. More im¬mediately the scientist sees in the re¬sults of his experimentation a usefultool which will enable man better tounderstand the nature of nuclearforces in the study of atomic struc¬ture. As such, the work helps to an¬swer one of the basic questions ofmankind, “What is matter, anyway?”Utilizes Vertical ColumnOne method of photographing cos¬mic rays (employed for the first timethis summer at high altitudes by Dr.V. H. Regener), utilizes a verticalcolumn composed of a series of coun¬ tertrays interspersed with lead plates.; A bank of neon tubes, placed in the! same configuration as the cosmic ray: countertubes in the various trays, can' be photographed. Each neon tube is; connected to its corresponding eounter-i tube and lights up when a ray goesi through its tube.j Then the progress of the ray throughi the lead may be studied. With thisj apparatus Regener studied the natureof the rays that produce cosmic rayshowers. Preliminary examination ofthe results indicates there may be aneutral-mesotron (mesotrons are sub¬atomic particles intermediate in sizebetween protons and electrons) thatproduces these showers. If so, a placewill have to be found for this neutral-mesotron in the theories of nuclearI structure. However, nothing definiteconcerning these particles ^an be saiduntil more of the thousands of photo-! graphs taken have been examined.Determine RatioOther experiments, done with a view {to determining the ration betweenrays coming from east and west, wereconducted by Hall. Work with a Wil-son-Cloud chamber to measure themomenta of rays and to determine theratio between positive and negativemesotrons was carried on by Bostick.In Peru, Dr. Hilberry carried outa series of measurements on largecosmic ray showers on Mt. El Misti.Cloud chamber work was done hereby Hughes, similar to that at Mt.Evans; in addition. Dr. Wollan car¬ried out experiments to determine ifcharged mesotrons are found in show¬ers at 15,000 feet.An important feature of the SouthAmerican trip w'as an excursion toBrazil, where Dr. Jesse released a bar- irage of balloons to determine East- jWest Radios, and the vertical dis- jtribution of the intensity of the rays.Results obtained here will then be com¬pared to those obtained at northernlatitudes.Douglas-r-(Continued from page one)She also stated that Douglas seemsto have the “breadth of vision” to ap¬preciate that national laws are laws,for the nation and are to be made assuch, although he will also be awareof Illinois’ interest.“Alderman Douglas is an exceeding¬ly competent man and a very ablepublic servant,” stated Mrs. TheodoreYntema, a member of the League ofWomen Votei’s, and wife of TheodoreYntema, professor of .statistics in theBusiness School.In giving her reason for her selec¬tion of Douglas as a candidate Mrs.Charles W. Gilkey, wife of the deanof the chapel, said, “I have great con¬fidence in what he has done and wouldlike to have him represent us.”As yet Douglas has made no replyto the petitions other than to issue aformal note of thanks. U Players GoTo Hell InOutward BoundHell is not the place which ChapelUnion likes to send its members, butnext Saturday night at 8:30 severalof them will be headed that way whenthe University players present “Out¬ward Bound” in Mandel Hall.With the exception of Gordon North¬rop who plays a dishonest businessman none of the cast actually endsup in hell. The rest of the playerscompromise on everlasting futuressomewhat less horrible. Mary LauraCollins, for instance, is merely con¬demned to look in at her husband foreternity.The rest of the cast who don’t rateHell, includes Hartley Pfeil, RuthApprich, Cal Shorer, Jim Siemens,Randall Ruechell. Frank Grover whohas directed the University Playersin all their previous productions, is di¬recting the show.

Since then, Mor-1tarboard has continually tried to main-1tain its purpose of promoting intellec- ;tual and social advancement with re- jgard to activities at the University jitself. IIn attaining such an end, the mem- jbers of this prominent club have par- jticipated both as a group and as in¬dividuals in the many campus activi¬ties open to them. Last year, girlsfrom this group wSc in every stu¬dent organization; this year Mortar¬board will again be represented in Imany activities with Mirror, Student iPublicity, the Settlement, and DAgaining a slight edge.With eighteen active members thusfar this year. Mortarboard is plan¬ning many social events. Aside fromrushing and literary meetings, thisgroup will give annual winter andspring dinner dances, parties, and aweek-end house party next June.Weekly meetings every Monday night,complete the year’s plans.An active alumnae group does muchto assist the group by offering a bi¬annual scholarship. This pays the ini¬tiation fee of $25, the social fee of$8 a quarter.Officers of Mortarboard this yearare Mary Lu Price, President, PatLyding, Vice President, Dorothy Wen-drick. Rushing Chairman, Janet Pea¬cock, Recording Secretary, and AliceLowry, Corresponding Secretary.3 Days LeftTo See Mums1Only three days remain in whichthe public may visit the Chrysanthe¬mum Show at Mill Road Gardens,where 5,000,000 hardy type ’mum.blooms are on display.

Witt Says Crush HitlerAnd ASU AgreesPlan LiteraryMagazineLong the cradle of embryo literarygeniuses, the University has neverreally scratched the surface in gettingexpressions of student talent. TheLeacocks, Gunthers, Peatties, andothers have for the most part spenttheir student days in sweet oblivion.A small group of forward-lookingstudents has laid plans to remedy thesituation. About December 1, Trend,first literary magazine to appear onthe Quadrangles since 1932, will hitthe newsstands. Trend will featurepoetry, fiction, and critical materialwritten by students and several ar¬ticles written by internationally fa¬mous authors.Trend has secured an office inMitchell Tower and a box in the Fac¬ulty Exchange. Jack Barnes is Edi¬tor, Allen Dreyfuss, his Associate,and Jack Kneupfer, Business Man¬ager. The staff welcomes contribu¬tions from any students interested inwriting. All articles submitted willbe considered and returned if not used.November 16 is the deadline for stu¬dent contributions.Iranium—(Continued from page one)Artaxerxes I and Artaxerxes III.The Iranian Bull is celebrating its2,461st birthday this week.

By PHILIP RIEFFReturning to their main themeafter more than a year of total ab¬stinence, the ASU has declared itselfunequivocally agreed on the necessityof crushing Hitlerism. The two sal¬ient points on Herbert Witt’s speech,yesterday, in the Reynolds Club, in anopen meeting on “America Can Stopthe French Reprisals,” were (1) thenecessity for a united front againstHitler and (2) the traditional anti-Fascist stand of the American Stu¬dent Union against Fascism.When asked what the Union policywould do if Russia was suddenlyknocked out of the war, Witt, who isthe national executive secretary of theorganization, replied that “we will notre.st until Hitlerism is crushed. Therewill be no peace for America untilthat task is accomplished.”“We have confidence,” Witt con¬tinued, “in W. Averill Harriman’sstatement that the Red Army will con¬tinue fighting despite any and all set¬backs, but even if proven wrong westand by our ‘crush Hitler’ policywithout reservation.”Declaration of PrinciplesWitt’s speech, the first declarationof principle from a national ASUleader that the Quadrangles haveheard this year is an absolute YES tothe question of whether this war isAmerica’s war.Along with the address by the or¬ganization’s leader, the local groupchapter presented a “Living News¬paper” sketch. Using the famed“March of Time” technique, the skitreproduced excerpts from “The Stu¬dent Advocate,” a paper dedicated tothe program of the ASU.GET YOUR MANAND DRAG HIMOVER TO THEFEDERATIONTEA DANCESUNDAY, IDA NOYES4 to 7WANTEDSeven-room furnished apartment or house.
