Mr. Mac¬Donald, financial secretary and gen¬eral man-about-the-Institute, explain¬ed yesterday what the majority of thestaff is doing now that war has cur¬tailed the usual pursuits. Of coursethere are no expeditions in the fieldnow, for obvious reasons; but thereare men at work constantly, doingthings that they may not have thechance to do for decades after theinternational situation calms down.This is the time for publication,says Mr. MacDonald, and most of thestaff is at it in a big way. There isplenty of time for correlation of ma¬terials gathered in the last five to tenyears, and ample opportunity to sitdown in your armchair with your fa¬vorite scrap of pottery and mull overit like you never did before. That,among other things, is exactly what’shappening in the Oriental Institute.The men who work in the field arethe best qualified to write up thematerial they discover, and sometimesyears go by before they get around toit. Now they’re at it full steam, andpamphlets, articles for scientific jour¬nals, and books from our own pressare being issued constantly. The listis long, complicated and technical;but here is a sample for you whowould look further. Shortly to beissued is a book called “The Potteryof the Diyala Region” by Mr. De-lougaz, a Russian on the staff. Pro¬fessor Frankfort and his Iraqian ex¬pedition completed their work in 1939,and there are journal reports on that.And the big project which the In¬stitute’s staff hopes to publish in thenext few years is a complete SyrianDictionary, which would enable schol¬ars to read -any of the hundreds ofthousands of clay tablets still extant.This will not be released until everyscrap of data available has beenreached and correlated. Of course, itcould be issued like a Sears-RoebuckCatalogue, with supplements, but asyet that is a distasteful prospect tothe staff, who hold out for perfection.On the staff of this colossal undertak¬ing are members of the Assyriology,Sumerology, and Akkadian depart¬ments.Wandering about the halls of theInstitute one finds expedition workerswith their heads in their hands, yearn- OpenCampusConferenceThe Campus Conference on Religionand the Social Order will ha- openedthis Sunday at 11 in the RockefellerChapel, by Dean Gilkey with a ser¬mon on “What Men Live For”. Twen¬ty-one faculty leaders, includingBrumbaugh, Colwell, Havighurst, Hay-don, Kerwin, Reed, Schwab, and ZensSmith; twenty-one community lead¬ers, mainly ministers; and thirty-sev¬en campus organizations will partici¬pate.Purposeful ExistenceQuoted from its own statement ofpurpose, the conference is attemptingto “provide an opportunity for stu¬dents to meet together and discussthose issues which are fundamentalto the whole of purposeful existence,with the hope that some may reachdecisions, and that, others, from theexchange of ideas, may develop a(Continued on page four)Esoteric SaleThe Esoterics are rummag:-in? around aji:ain this yearand want all those old thin^^you don’t know what to dowith. They ask that youthrow away none of those old.clothes, books, or records, for 'they are having a rummagesale in two we«ks and aresure they can sell them. Withthe proceeds of the sale, theclub will buy a defense bond,announced Carroll Russell,who is planning the event.“We can sell anything,”said Carroll. “Anything, real¬ly. We can sell your old dogcollar, and that bird cagethat’s been sitting in the clos¬et, a shoe with no mate, andprobably even back issues ofPulse. Just give all the thingsyou have around and can’t useto some Esoteric you know,or put the stuff in boxes inFoster or Beecher Hall.”Last year the club had avery successful sale and gavethe proceeds to the Settle¬ment. They hope to do equallywell this year.Clubs DanceAt CongressWith a goal of one hundred dollarsfor the Settlement to be attained, theclub girls are preparing for the an¬nual Interclub Ball which will be heldtomorrow night in the Gold Room ofthe Congress hotel. Dancing will befrom 10 until 2 with music by theColonial Club Orchestra.This dance is expected to make themoney which, until the war discour¬aged the idea, was to have been raisedby a bridge party sometime this quar¬ter.Bids must be obtained in advancefrom the club presidents, and willnot be sold at the door. Five indepen¬dents have been invited to attend.ing for dear old Syria, Egypt, Meso¬potamia, and the rest of their covetedterritory. But since they must stayhome, they write, and we are the onesto gain. The Institute’s bases over¬seas are still staffed by native care¬takers, waiting for the brain-powerto return.Some of the “brain-power” has mov¬ed to Washington- “for the duration,”and you know what that means. Wearen’t at liberty to divulge further.The Oriental Institute is still pop¬ping, even though it’s on the wrongside of the ocean. Marines ReturnTo Campus ForOfficerMaterialIf any particular branch ofthe armed forces has good causeto concern itself mightily oversuch interesting things as com¬parative fatality rates, it is theMarine Corp.Yet the representative atti¬tude, as expressed by LieutenantDuane Fultz of that service, isone “why worry yourself toomuch about what will happenwhen you are out there doingyour job. A fighting man is do¬ing nothing more than discharg¬ing his duty to those dependantupon him when he goes into ac¬tion.’’Lieutenant Fultz, currently onHasson duty, visited the campusyesterday to intervieiv those in¬terested in the Marine Candi¬dates Class. A product of thatofficers training division, he ex¬pects to complete his recruitingwork shortly and depart for theivest coast for active-service.Explaining in a completelydetached manner ivhy few of hiscluasmates have bothered to fig¬ure the percentage on the cas¬ualty list, he passed it off as amatter to be taken in stride.

It is better than the firstissue, has a better average of in¬dividual work, is more coherent as awhole.The featured article by CharlesBiederman “Chicago: a Future ArtCenter?” is scholarly but tedious, withthe thesis that Chicago, being devoidof decaying traditions, free of NewYork’s subservience to Paris art tra¬ditions after Paris has discardedthem, and still a strong city in afree country is the type of possibilityfor a place where art can grow again.Mr. Biederman also inserts disserta¬tions on Constructivism, which heconsiders the only possible directionart can take and still be significantafter Cubism. He obviously loves con¬structivism, but fails to arouse anycorresponding enthusiasm in thereader.A happy counterweight to theweary pages of Mr. Biederman’s es¬say is “The Persistence of the Folk,”by Ulysses Lee, who presents intelli¬gently and excitingly his belief thatthe creative force of the folk and theimportance of their creations will con¬tinue when the pedantic and conde¬scending interest of the folklorists andantiquarians has turned elsewhere,when “the pressure of a war effort de¬pletes the supplies of paper and print¬ers’ ink and causes more learned art¬ists to fall silent, when the literateclasses discuss maps of battlefieldsrather than the latest mural, and theladies’ clubs make ’oandages for theRed Cross rather than obeisances tovisiting lecturers.”There is a short story by JackBarnes which pleases me because I al¬ways like to see people write aboutthings they know.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1942Mid-YearFreshmanRushingSince last Monday agroup of approximately smallfortyfreshmen have been wanderingabout the University campus.And trailing right behind them,as was to be expected, have beenthe pledge-hungry fraternitymen.Yet not until yesterday did theDean’s Office make any rulingwhatsoever pertaining to therushing of thes'e men.All during the autumn rush¬ing season the administrationmade continued attempts to keeprushing as clean as possible.Outwardly, at least, the Interfra¬ternity Council, was making at¬tempts to achieve this same goal.No WordAnd now, with fraternitiesfaced with a war problem ofkeeping the houses as large aspossible, both jurisdictionalagencies did not say a word formore than three days.During this interval, the fra¬ternities could do as they pleasedand undoubtedly many of themdid. Undoubtedly, several men,to speak in fraternal jargon,have already been “sewed up”.It would have been entirelypossible for a fraternity to placea pledge pin on a man yesterday,and we do not see how theDean’s office could have takenany punitive action.Now that Assistant Dean ofStudents Scott has finally madean announcement, the field isstill open for one of the dirtiestrushing periods in Chicago his¬tory. According to the lettersent to* the houses on campus,“Rushing, as in previous quar¬ters, is to be consistent with theprinciples laid down by the In¬terfraternity Committee.”Only LimitationThis, except for the date ofpledging, is the only limitationplaced on the rushing period. Atthis time, at which all housesare forced to literally cut eachothers* throats for men, princi¬ples are not enough.Why did the administrationnot revise last autumn’s rushingrules so that they could be ap-Boy HER a Valentine GiftCrested Jewelryin Heart Shapesat theU of C Bookstore5802 Ellis Ave. BazaarPhilosophers Bump Into BusinessStudents In Harper ElevatorBy BEATA MUELLERMinsk to PinskAccording to the best traditions ofand about this institution, the philoso¬phy department is the sine qua non ofour University; according to all tradi¬tions, philosophers are untidy crea¬tures, long-haired, and bathless. Thisbelief is not entirely unfounded, aswitness some of our own professionaland dilettantep h il osophers,like graduatestudent DonMcCleary, whosits shoeless inhis philosophyclasses. Lastweek a mancame up tohim in the halland said, “Youmust be veryproud of thefight yourA Philosopher country is putting up. Don't yoti feel. . . ” and there followed a discoursefor a qtiarter of an hour, while Mc¬Cleary listened in silence, nodding oc¬casionally. Finally the man said, cau¬tiously, “You do come from Russia,don’t you?” Chicagoan McClearyblushed, shook his head, and wenthome to jmt on a tie.The business . . .. . . school, on the other hand, is astep-child as cati be observed in theHarper elevator, when the scholarsgoing up to the philosophy library onthe fifth floor look with cold contemptat the misguided souls going to thebusiness library upstairs. But thebusiness school has some lovely peoplein it, as for instance Jonas Siegal, arugged individualist from Oklahoma,who speaks a wonderful mixture of western dialect arid Yiddish. One ofthe most beautiful sights on camjmsis Jonas in debate with some of theintellectuals that breed in damp com¬ers about the University. Anotherforthright soul in the business schoolis Ann Leonard, who also says whatshe thinks. There was a young manin the chemistry department, an aris¬tocrat with a mariner compounded ofwhat is described in Victorian novelsas “childish winsomcness,” and hatredof the hurnan race, collectively and in¬dividually, all reflected in his beauti¬ful aristocratic face. One day AnnLeonard was confronted with him andasked if she had met him. She lookedat him, a long look, and then saidshortly, “I’ve seen him. Ugh.”We will close by adding that onthis page in the Hub Hobnobbery adare Valentine suggestions for “HeF’and “Him.”Portraits Only Bright Lights InBig Ten Art Show In Ida NoyesBy BILL LETWINThe annual Big 10 traveling artshow is now showing in the Ida Noyeslounge and library.

For the athlete these offer astimulating change of scene, a brief jvacation. To the fan back home, theymean that he can’t see the contest,must depend on the papers.The swimming team’s recent jour-1ney to Minneapolis is a good exampleof such a trip. At 9 Saturday morn-inp eleven swimmers and Coach Mc-Gillivray pulled out of Union Stationon the swank streamliner, the Bur-linpton Zephyr. As we streaked acrossthe frozen prairie, several studioussouls retired to the bar, of all places,to study; but most of us had a rip¬roaring good time, talking, playingcards, and watching the icy fields andlater the broad Mississippi Riverwhisk by at 70 miles an hour.At noon McGillivray called his rav¬enous crew to the diner for an enor¬mous roast lamb dinner that subduedus for the rest of the ride. Pulling in¬to Minneapolis at 3:30, we took a cabto the Hotel Curtis where, after an¬other big dinner, this time roast beef,we retired to rest until the meet.When it was over, we fraternizedwith the entire Gopher team for sev¬eral hours, while demolishing oursteak dinners. Leaving the Norsemenat midnight, we returned to the Cur¬tis and turned in, except for one ortwo who stayed in the Lobby, talkingwith some beauteous vacationersfrom nearby Carleton.Though offered the privilege ofstaying in Minneapolis until 4 to seethe campus, we took the 8 o’clocktrain, devouring on the way anotherunbelievable steak dinner. Back inUnion Station finally, we waited forthe car to empty and let us out. Im¬patient backstroker Joe Blakemansnapped on the radio which promptlyblared: “W'e haven’t a moment tolose.” Everyone ahead hurried out.As we reeled back to campus, afterbeing treated like Lords, fed likeprize steers, and lodged like visitingdiplomats, we agreed we hadn’t hadsuch a swell time in months.* • •BUD BEYER, Gym Coach a n d aMaroon all-time Gymiiastics immor¬tal, originally learned his one-armedhand stand on the parallels with hisgood right arm...When he damagedhis wrist several years ago, BEYERBuy HIM a Valantina GiftA pipe or cigarette lighterat theU of C Bookstore5802 Ellis Ave. Intramural Basketball Results(Tuesday Night)Deke A, 34; Kappa Sig A, 13Phi Psi A, 17; Zeta Beta Tau A, 6Delta U.

Maroons Face Kotz^Badgers Here MondayOnce again on Monday night theever game Maroons will take the 'bas¬ketball court against the bouncingBadgers of Wisconsin, an outfit thatin recent months has climbed to thepinnacle of conference and nationalacclaim by capturing in the sameyear both championships. .John KotzIn one John Kotz, the Badgers pos¬sess probably the most feared singleperformer to grace conference floorsthis year. Since in seven games hehas compiled 114 points, there is morethan a possibility that when thesmoke clears away at the end of thecurrent season, Mr. Kotz will be theproud owner of a new conference title.Word has it that certain Big Tencoaches whose teams have been ‘‘Bad-gfer-blitzed” are plagued ever afterby nightly visions of Kotz sinkingleft-handed shots with infinite ease.But no basketball team ever yetgot along with one player and Foster’sladdies are no exceptions. Aiding andabetting all evening will be Ray Pat¬terson, whose feats at the center posi¬tion have been near to miraculousthis year.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1942University PlayersGet Religion AndInspire Carney Friday ThirteenthTo Be Lucky DayIn Reynolds Club“Then I got religion! Then I had avision! I could not turn from theirrevel in derision!” I refer to the pre¬view performance of “Shadow andSubstance” last night, when the Uni¬versity Players got religion, and thepious atmosphere was almost over¬powering.When “Shadow and Substance” wasfirst produced on Broadway, the gen¬eral concensus was that the play wassuccessful because of the fine actingrather than because of the actualscript. Unfortunately the UniversityPlayers have no Cedric Hardwicke orJulie Haydon to save them.Gordon Northrup tried very hard asthe Canon, but never succeeded in con¬vincing the audience that he was com¬pletely at home in a cassock. Thesingle outstanding performance wasthat of Norma Evans as the Canon’sTraining—(Continued from page one)successfully completed only threemonths of training. “In accordancewith the planned expansion of thepresent system for providing trainedofficer leaders for the rapidly ex¬panding army” the period of train¬ing has been so reduced that a civiliancan become a second lieutenant with¬in a period of six months.After the preliminary three monthsin either the regular army or thereplacement training center, men willbe chosen for the Officer CandidateSchool for “evidence of outstandingqualities of leadership.” The releasefrom the War Department furtherstates, “Although the educationalbackground of a candidate is a mostimportant element in determining hisselection, it is not determinative.While an academic degree may be afavorable factor, equivalent trainingand experience in civil life is equallyacceptable to the Army.”Another requirement for entranceto the Training School is a rating of110 or better in the Army GeneralClassification Test, which is given toall men entering the service. How¬ever, “Provision is made that if anysoldier fails to attain this grade inhis initial test for reasons beyondhis control, permission may be grant¬ed to take the test a second time.”In giving the details of changes inBuy HER a Valentine Gift(Lelong's perfume)at theU of C Bookstore5802 Ellis Ave.HANLEYS slavey, Brigid, played with convictionand no face-making.

This is the second in aseries of forum lectures sponsoredby the university’s Hillel Foundation.Van Paassen is the author of suchbooks on current world affairs as TheTime Is Now, Days Of Our Years, andThat Day Alone. With James Wise heedited a book entitled Nazism: AnAssault on Civilization consisting ofarticles by such famous figures as A1-.fred L. Smith and Dorothy Thompson.Van Paassen’s Days Of Our Years wasone of the most widely-read books of1940.As a student of international af¬fairs and actual observer of develop¬ments in European politics of the pastyears, the lecturer is well qualified tospeak on the crisis of our presentcivilization and on the decision wemust make. Time Magazine describesVan Paassen as a sort of “social seer”.He is according to them “somethingof a modern Zachariah, a minor socialprophet in the line of Tolstoy, Strind¬berg, Shaw, and Ibser..”General admission to the lecture willbe 75 cents, while Hillel members willbe admitted free of charge. Ticketsmay be secured at the InformationDesk, International House, or Hillel’sChapel Office.Art Show—(Continued from page two)come from Ohio State artists. Some¬one down there is teaching the boyswhat goes in to a canvas to make aface, or else they have a good imag¬ination of their own. In any case, the“Colored Girl” of Eleanor Baker iseasily the most accomplished work inthe group. It displays not only a finecommand of technique, but also anexplicit understanding of character.The result is a sympathetic portraitof an interesting personality. Theother Ohio work, the “Old Woman” ofHerbert Sindeman, is an index to thesuccess of both works. Apparently,both of the painters have reached thatpoint in their artistic developmentwhere their command of medium issufficient to enable them to devotesome time to using the materials toexpress an idea. This is the note¬worthy absence in most of the restof the work. The children are still so Friday the thirteenth will be luckyfor someone. One of the many featuresof the winter C dance, to be held thatevening in the Reynolds Club, willbe the gift of a Washington Prom bidto some one of the taboo-tramplingguests.From this, even Felix, the ReynoldsClub black feline, can see that an in¬vestment of 80c will not only give afull evening of fun, but may also re¬sult in a financial gain of $3.30.Other jinx-jarring features includea block of wood to knock upon, asupply of salt to be thrown over leftshoulders, broken mirrors, a oiujaboard, black cats, ladders to be walkedunder, rabbits’ feet, banana peels, andhorseshoes above all doors. It is evenrumored that the members of theReynolds Club council have beenscraping under the snow, hoping tofind four-leaf clovers to honor eachguest.Another big event of the eveningwill be the selection of the homeliestgirl of the dance.

And thereis a story by Edward Rasmussencalled “Doncha Wanna Dig, Chillun?”that is fine and alive, by far the beststory that the magazine has pub¬lished.There are two illustrations forThomas Mann’s “Death in Venice”done by Joan Waddell, upon which Ihave heard the criticism that theywere decadent and unpleasant, andin These Days what we need is some¬thing positive and inspiring. PerhapsI have a morbid turn of mind, butI think these are fine illustrations,and I like them.Finally there is poetry, most ofwhich is so modern and profound thatI don’t pretend to understand it orparticularly care whether I do or not,leaving this to Ed Ftitz whose poetryreviews in this issue are exceedinglycompetent, and whose manner is ter¬rifying. But there are three poemsby Katinka Loeser which are compre¬hensible, and furthermore I wouldtimidly assert that at least one ofthem, “modern language,” is goodpoetry.engrossed in their materials that theydon’t realize that a colored piece ofpaper is no suitable substitute for Mr.Rembrandt.
