Registering for the Basictitary Course, he argues, is certainly making the best of it.^ting $5, which includes, a cap, text books, and a bivouac at theU Road Farm, the course provides excellent training in basic'itary groundwork, invaluable for the prospective draftee.

W. Stone, Associate Professor ofIndustrial Relations yesterday ad¬vised the abolition of the closed shop.“I would recommend that the Gov¬ernment abolish the closed shop by de¬claring it to be illegal and undueinterference with the right of freecontract,” he said. At the same time,pointing out that more than 50% ofthe current defense strikes are organ¬ization disputes, that is, strikes forunion recognition, he argued that hissuggested action would therefore cutwork stoppages in half and send an“army of workers” back to their fac¬tories.“Roosevelt has said he’d never forceworkers to join a union,” Stone said,in showing the President’s “inconsis¬tencies”, “and that to impose a closedshop would resemble Hitler’s tactics,”i But the President stopped short, leav-j ing the implication that the closedshop is all right if the majority ofworkers can induce the employers toaccept it.Completely IllogicalHowever, that is completely illogi¬cal. Obviously if it is wrong for themajority of the American people act¬ing through representative govern¬ment, then it is wrong for a majoritygroup in a leaser area to impose iton a minority.Here Stone reiterated that he wouldtake the closed shop clause out of theNational Labor Relations Act “thusremoving more than one half of thedefense strikes.”Constructive PlanAs for a constructive plan to solvethe increasingly important strikeproblem. Stone advanced a three-pointprogram. First, he suggests improvedworking conditions so that reasonableexcuses for strikes will be eliminated;second, the development of publicopinion that will ^jpport methods ofdealing with matters of dispute otherthan through strikes; and third, theestablishment of new standards aswell as new procedures that will re¬move occasions to strike and providealternative machinery for settlingstrikes.

Grand March ...Grand March was grand.. .trite buttrue. ..Clay Traeger was as beautifulas ever in dreamy white net, escortedby that handsome Jane Moran. Char¬lotte Ford led the procession withClay, and Virginia Allen with JayFox (new twosome). It was more likethe hundred yard dash than the GrandMarch and ended up in a Grand Mix-up. The orchestra is to be commendedon their playing and also in beingable to render the 3 school songs...The songs aren’t extinct, but definite¬ly!!After the Ball was Over......a new fraternity to end all fra¬ternities was born. The Bars of Italy,in the deep, dark, recesses of Ricar¬do’s. Initiation consists of downinga boiler-maker in 30 seconds. Chartermembers are Bob Bean, Dink McClel¬lan, Paul Florian, Dick Himmel, andBob Reynolds. J. Fox is still in therushing stage, poor little neophyte.Another club formed on a co-educa-tional and strictly social basis, isprosaicly called “Committee Meeting.”Initiation into this was a bit morescholarly. It involved osculation. Boband Mary-Lu were co-chairman, andconducted all initiation ceremonies.The spirit of the club was lost in theriot that ensued.A party was supposed to be inprocess, back of the Deke house. Allrumors have been squelched so it’spurely a hypothetical deduction.Working backwards, like is if wewas a crab, we come to Thursdaynight, the night when all B.M.O.C.’sand B.W.O.C.’s prowl about on broomsticks...Hanley’s became their chiefhaunt.

The booktakes the form of a discussion(not in dialogue form) between ateacher and a student. Mr. Adlerthrough the teacher asks ques-tiohs designed to bring out moralprinciples; the student’s answersand objections form a basis fordiscussion and analysis.The argument begins with thefact of preference: everyone atsome time or other for some rea¬son prefers one thing to another.From this fact develops the firstvery rudimentary universalmoral principal: “that menshould always prefer the great-c.st good.” This indefinite and byall practical standards inconse¬quential moral truth furnishes abasis in the course of the bookfor an order of goods and an un¬derstanding of the nature ofhappiness.The order of goods is found todepend upon human nature andhuman capacities, a discussionof which Mr. Adler reserves forhis soon to be published “Dialec¬tic of Substance, Essence, andMan.” In the last^two chaptersMr. Adler abandons the deviceof discussion between teacherand student and proceeds sum¬marily to discuss the nature andclassification of the goods andthe relation of politics and eth¬ics. Clarity of His StyleDespite the logic of his organ¬ization and the clarity of hisstyle, Mr. Adler has difficulty incommunicating his ideas. Heoften shocks into disbelief. Thestatement with which he beganone of his courses, “EverythingI have written in these mate¬rials is absolutely true withoutqualification,” and his sixteenprinciples of philosophy and re¬ligion, a denial of any one ofwhich denies either all philos¬ophy or all religion, were notcalculated to induce the patientwork necessary for understand¬ing.The present work is a greatimprovement on this score andwill, it may be hoped, producemore light and less heat. Buteven here Mr. Adler might havewon much greater respect andconfidence had he stated at theoutset that most so-called moralrules are primarily conventionaland only a few principles aretrue for all men. Mr. Adler alsodoes not appreciate the difficultymost people have in understand¬ing and following his arguments.Sometimes the difficulty lies inpeculiar twists and emphasis inmeanings which the unwaryreader is unlikely to appreciate.Not Completely EffectiveSometimes Mr. Adler con¬vinces the mind but leaves theheart unstirred. An argumentbased upon a hypothetical mandesiring A as opposed to B isnot calculated to move the heart.These difficulties the readermust surmount to get at the meat of the argument.Only after sympathetic andpersistent effort yields under¬standing of the argument shouldan attempt be made to evaluate.Two suggestions on practicalevaluation may be hazarded.First a person who like Mr. Ad¬ler reaches moral conclusionswhich must be true by logicalargument from accepted facts isprobably more likely to be dog¬matic and intolerant and lesslikely to subject his views to ex¬perimental re-examination thanis a person who emphasizes theconventional aspects of moralityand politics. The method and thecertainty of conclusions, strictlyproper (as Mr. Adler concedes)only on the level of first princi¬ples, may Wander down to thelevel of brass tacks, where mostof the world’s work is done, withunfortunate consequences.Dialectically EstablishedSecond, the connection be¬tween the moral principles dia¬lectically established and what-I-should-do-this-moment is tenu¬ous at best. Analytical examina¬tion of generalizations whichmost of us accept intuitive¬ly is unquestionably excellentmental exercise and is initself an intellectual good. Butunless these generalizations canbe brought to bear upon everyday life in such a way as to makepeople happier, the brilliant tal¬ent for analysis employed herehas been wasted.Much of the criticism of Mr.Adler’s position probably arisesfrom a belief that he is under-\ Director And Peppy PlayersOutstanding In Band ConcertBy HARLAN BLAKEOur University Band has two as¬sets that any such group in the coun¬try might well envy: an excellent,friendly director, and a group of en¬thusiastic, peppy players. More thananything else, the combination ofthese two things made last Sunday’sfall band concert a real success.Exceptional in the opinion of thecrowd that packed Mandel Hall, werethe Concerto for Brass Instrumentsand Tympani by Moussorgsky, thethree Negro Dances by Price and thegroup of military marches.The outstanding section of the bandwas undoubtedly the percussiongroup. Led by tympanist HarmanWigman, who nearly stole the showwith his work in the Weinberger Tym¬pani concerto, and Charlotte Sifelt,talented marimba-player, the percus¬sion section set the pace for the entiregroup in quality of playing.“Garden of the Gods”Closest on the program to being aflop was the lyric poem, “Garden ofthe Gods”, the number dedicated tothe University Band. The band de¬serves much more than the question¬able honor of having this numberdedicated to it. No amount of expertdirecting or efficient playing couldhave covered up its trite effects orsuperficial showiness.It was in the Coronation scene fromMoussorgsky’s “Boris Godounow” andlater in the group of four militarymarches that the band was at its best.Here the group showed its spirit andcapabilities, the color and fullnessthat a band can attain. Well worthyof mention too, was the band’s fineinterpretation of the very difficultAllegro maestoso from Handel’s “Wa¬ter Music Suite”, in which both theband’s brilliant trumpet section, andthe reeds were allowed to show theirtalent.Less ImpressiveFar less impressive was the Bee¬thoven Sonata #2, Opus 10, due tothe impossibility of preserving thetonal color of a delicate piano sonatain an arrangement requiring the co¬operation of some thirty individualinstruments for expression. No faultof the players was this, however, forhere many of the reeds did their finestwork.Concluding with an exceptionallywell performed “Christmas Fantasy”by Lillya, and Chicago’s “Alma Ma¬ter”, the band added further proofthat it deserves the whole-heartedsupport of every member of the stu¬dent body. The band was under thedirection of Mr. Harold Bachman.The Symphony ConcertMeanwhile, downtown Chicago hasbeen offering a great deal in the wayof fine music. Friday afternoon’sSymphony concert featured IsaacStem in a fiery performance of theMendelssohn Violin Concerto. Laterthat day, many U. of Chicagoansheard Edith Mason and Jan Kiepurasing a very well received “LaBoheme”.Best music of the week-end, how¬ever, w’as a fine “II Trovatore” pre¬sented Saturday night. Coe Glade, asAzucena, and Giovanni Martinelli, asthe hero. Manrico, turned in top act¬ing and singing performances, withMobley Lushanya as Leonc^a andmining, without providing anyadequate substitute, a sociolog¬ical approach to human problemswhich has yielded good results.(Published by Review' of Pol¬itics University of Notre DamePrice, $1.80.) Richard Bonelli as Count Luna bothadding to an interesting performanceThe OperaRichard Bonelli will be singingagain this week in Friday night’s“Faust”, and Monday’s “Barber ofSeville”, which also offers Nino Mar-tini and Josephine Antoine in starringroles. Tomorrow night offers LiciaAlbenese and James Melton in Pucci¬ni’s “Madame Butterfly”, while onSaturday plan to see a repeat of “LaBoheme”, this time with Grace Mooreand Frederick Jagel, or in the eveningJosephine Antoine, James Melton andCoe Glade in “Martha”.

Miss Pope mentioned theCoffee Shop as a contributing causeto this complaint.‘‘Many of the girls have a maltedmilk or a coke sometime during themorning and, consequently, are nothungry at lunch-time. Since a maltedmilk is not very filling, they are hun¬gry again in the afternoon. They thenblame the dormitories for not servingenough food for lunch,” she declared. Emphasizing that he was speakingas a private citizen and not as spokes¬man for Latin America, ProfessorAmado Alonso, director of the In¬stitute of Philology at Buenos Airessaid at the International House Sun¬day Supper that he believes that mostof the people in South America haveto be persuaded about what and whomthey have to fight in the present crisis.If the countries in South Americawere supplied with the necessary wea¬pons, they could resist any militaryoffensive. Professor Alonso believes.Just whom they will resist is thequestion. Both the United States andGreat Britain have made mistakes intheir past South American policieswhile Germany has never antagonizedthe South American republics.‘‘Dog dead, no rabbits around”would be the Latin American reac¬tion to a Hitler defeat according toProfessor Alonso. If Hitler were tolose the war, or peace negotiated be¬tween Germany and England, SouthAmerica would be forced into a threeway offensive— politically, economi¬cally and ideologically.STUDENT PUBLICITYThe Press Relations Co.nmitteeof Student Publicity Board willhave an important meeting todayat at 3:30 in Mitchell Tower.

But the genial coach is not dis¬pleased with the result of the meet.From the shambles of the rout lastSaturday he can more readily buildhis team around the reliable men suchas Siever and Mendelson who gavepromise of ability even in face of suchadversaries. Sport Sermon Nets NorgrenStudents will not require“C” passes as admission tick¬ets for the basketball gamesthis year. The yellow identifi¬cation card certified by theBursar, will suffice for admis¬sion. Faculty members andemployees must have “C”passes and these may be ob¬tained at the Bartlett Office. By PHIL RIEFFIt has become something of a'deadlysin, in the last decade, to predict any¬thing but doom for a Maroon basket¬ball aggregation. Season after sea¬son the prqss, both student andmetropolitan, has given the long suf¬fering Midway inhabitant an anes¬thetic just before the opening gamein the form of ,a sour prophecy of asad, second division finish for a val¬ient, but under-manned quintet.New Season, New PredictionNow another season, and anotherprediction, begins. The usual pro¬cedure would now have me administerthe old anasthetic number 99 A.“The Maroons,” I could go on tosay, “may improve on last years rec¬ord.”“Of course, they WILL miss JOE(Stampf),” I could continue, and thelack of a pivot man may keep themfrom improving on last winter’sVALIENT, fighting, hard-luck team.”But anasthetic 99 A has'been over¬worked. The team doesn’t want anytidy burial before the season, andthey are entirely correct. So I won’tadminister the potion.No Set PivotThe Maroons can improve on lastyear’s record without much improve¬ment, and—as to the loss of JOE—Nels Norgren will probably play with¬out a set pivot man this term. Hewill play three forwards behind theopposition defense, and let the twoguards set up the pick-off plays in¬stead of having a “give the ball toJOE and watch game” system.There will be no pre-season wailsfronv the Maroon this year. We are . . . three forwardsbacking the Norgren machine like aparty hack. We will write and hopewith the same spirited attitude thatwe find rampant on the hardwoodfloor in the Fieldhouse.WEEKLY CALENDARof Athletic EventsFriday, December 6—Western Conference MeetingHotel ShermanSaturday, December 6—Basketball vs. 1.1.T.Field House, 8:00Squash vs. PurdueWest Stand, Stagg, 7:.10Western Conference MeetingHotel ShermanDOROTHY McGuire. . . popular star of JohnGolden's hit pfOy^Claudia/*says Merry Christmas toher many friends with thecigarette that Satisfies.Milder Better-Tasting...that’s whyCopyriibt 1941, Liccnr k Mrtu Tougc« Co.

O— ingSPORTSWith WERNER BAUMSports EditorLet's Play, BoysAll of us are looking forward withanxiety to the basketball team’s open,ing appearance this Saturday eveningWe realize that the quality of theplayers on the University’s team, forthe most part, is only mediocre. Withteam spirit high, it is very possiblethat if the team meets with disasteragain it will only be due to lack ofmaterial.Yet there are men in this schoolwho could be playing on the varsitybut refuse to come out for the team.Let me give three examples.John Deacon is a member of PhiKappa Psi. He played prep schoolbasketball at New Trier High Schoolin the northern suburbs of Chicago.There he was captain of his team anda second-string All-State selection.Later he was a freshman star in bas¬ketball at Stanford University. .Nowhe is eligible for competition at theUniversity of Chicago but he has notcome out for the team.Was First String ForwardJerry Scheidler is a member of; Beta Theta Pi. He played prep bas-i ketball at an Indiana high .school. Hejw-as a first string forward on a teamthat went to the Indiana high schooljfinaLs, one of the best prep teams inthe nation. He is now a junior in theSocial Sciences, plays intra-muralbasketball, but has not appeared forvarsity competition.Bert Wheeler is a member of AlphaDelta Phi. He came out for the var¬sity this fall, had a chance to becomea top-flighter and win his majorHe suddenly “lost interest,” however,and is no longer out for the sport.Other Similar CasesUndoubtedly there are other similarcases in the I'niversity but thesethree come to my mind as I try tofind reasons for the lack of materialat the University. I'erhaps it iswrong to .say; “Lack of material atthe University.” Perhaps the phraseshould read; “Lack of material on thevarsity.”Many people feel that we should goout and recruit, legally or extra-legally, material for our basketballteam. But before we do this, whydon’t we go to work on the materialwe have. Who knows what successwe might achieve, were the nieti ofability who are already in the I’lii-versity playing on the squad.Relatively Poor CoachingMe may have relatively poor citach-ing. We may have many other fac¬tors interfering' with success. a>measured in terms «»f nuuiber of \ic-tories chalked up. But the facl(»r un¬der di.scussion is the must easy tocorrect.Get these "men out and perhaps wecan better oUr conference record ofone win in two seasons.Basketball ScheduleDecember GAt home Illinois TechDecember 10 LoyolaAt homeDecember 13Away MarquetteDecember 18At home De PaulDecember 2f Western Mich.At homeJanuary 3Away PurdueJanuary 5At home IowaJanuary 10 NorthwesternAt homeJanuary 12Away WisconsinJanuary 17Away IllinoisJanuary 19At home MinnesotaJanuary 22At home Great LakesJanuary 26Away Ohio StateJanuary 31At home IndianaFebruary 2Away IowaFebruary 9At home WisconsinFebruary 14Away IndianaFebruary 16 NorthwesternAwayFebruary 21At home PurdueFebruary 23At home MichiganFebruary 28Away Michigan
