Enrollmentat mid-year was limited, due to war¬time lack of facilities. Consequently,only 50 pupils will enter the first andsecond years of the College and about100 are expected to register for thethird and fourth years.An orientation program has beenplanned for the three days precedingclasses to acquaint the new studentswith the University. Under the di¬rection of Norman F.

Acting Director of ResidenceHalls, dismissed the argument thata dormitory council would regulate orsuggest any action on hours in thirdand fourth year women’s residencehalls as a non-existent issue. Discus¬sion of hours, he said, would obscurethe purpose of the group.Cite Needs for Student OrganizationProponents of student governmenturged recognition of general studentproblems, using as examples thebreach between the first and last twoyears of the College, the problem ofincluding commuters in campus activ¬ities and other problems of living andworking together. Any solutions mustoriginate with the student body.In discussing the need for studentgovernment, Preston Roberts, headresident of the Burton-Judson 300entry, pointed out that since Chicagois a young university devoting mostof its funds to research and faculty,the residence program has been in¬adequate. A residence program andof the physical education department.The period is intended to give thema brief glimpse of campus activitiesand social life—and time enough tolearn their way around,' so that “Igot lost” will not be a valid excusefor tardiness on the first day ofschool.Classes will meet on Thursday,February 1, after which there willbe a meeting to explain the admin¬istration of the College, as it affectsthe individual student. This will con¬clude the orientation program.Activities for the incoming stu-den{s were planned by the OrientationBoard under the direction of MaryAugustine. Other members of theBoard are Walt Goedecke, MarthaVaughn, Jean Gatewood, Betsy Wal¬lace, Lois Arnett Lewellyn, Bill Wub-ben, Enid Harris, Sam MacGregor,Charlie Schwartz, Ernie Rowe, Bab-ette Kaplan, and Leonore Callahan. Inter-DormitoryMeeting DrawsCampus ViewsIn response .to requests by TheChicago Maroon for their reaction toWednesday night’s meeting to discussproblems of student organization, cam¬pus personalities interested in theproposals made the following com¬ments.Approval of the meeting was ex¬pressed by Mr. John Yamelle, ActingDirector of Residence Halls. Mr. Yar-nelle believes that such meetings arethe best way for students to workout the problems on the basis of whatthey want.Preston Roberts, head resident atBurton, declared that there is a defin¬ite need for specific organization ifproblems are to be successfully solved.“Divisions necessary” he stated “are:(1) a dormitory council, (2) a socialorganization and (3) an overall stu¬dent council.”Opinion from the women’s dormsalso supports the need for some kindof student organization. Emma LouOrth, president of the Gates Hallcouncil found the meeting “very en¬couraging” and is sure that studentorganization is bound to come about.A meeting is planned for Mondaynight to discuss the problems but sofar, opinion at Gates is strongly in(Continued on page six)War Bond TeaAt Ida MondayOn Thursday, February 1, PresidentRobert M.

There was no school spirit, there wasno means of effective communication, hence there was no possibilityof evolving any kind of student organization to cope with theseconditions. In kind, the non-existence of such an organizationmade it almost impossible to deal with the lack of school spiritor the means of inter-communication. The meeting at BurtonCourt represents the first clean break out of this circle.The students who participated last Wednesday deserve theutmost commendation for their action in making the groupdecision to work for some form of student government. Thiswas truly an example in the exercise of democratic principles.An interesting sidelight which'the meeting of over one hundredstudents produced was the overwhelming agreement to acceptas an immediate goal a government which would include theentire campus, rather than the more limited but easier goal of anall-dormitory government. The purpose of the Maroon in pro¬posing a limited form of government as a necessary prior stepwas that any form of government, no matter how limited or howimperfect, could serve as the instrument for interesting the widerreaches of the campus in means and ends of student government,and thus make easier the task of finally establishing an all¬campus government.At any rate, the rest of the campus must be made aware ofwhat was accomplished Wednesday evening. Furthermore, thedormitory students who were at the meeting must not feel thattheir job is ended. This last, especially, places a great respon¬sibility upon those students who will be elected to repreent theirdormitories at next week’s meeting. This group will, in effect,constitute an inter-dormitory steering committee. The problemsthey will have to face are by no means minor. The first task willbe the devising of some means of effective communication withthe large body of commuting students, so that these studentsmay have an opportunity to accept or reject the principles ofstudent government. They may also be called upon to assistthese same commuters in the formation of a representative com¬mittee which would participate in all future deliberations on a parwith the dormitory group. After these two labors have beenaccomplished, the joint committee will then have the herculeanjob aggreeing on the kind of goverment to be created, whatthat government’s areas of interests and authorities shall be,what mechanism and on what basis representatives to thatgovernment shall be elected.However, the size and complexity of these several mattersto be established before student government may be consideredan accomplished fact must not discourage anyone. A month ago,there were few people on campus who would have believed thatwhat was accomplished Wednesday was possible. Yet, there areinherent dangers which will face both the committee and thevery principle of government, itself. These perils can be easilyavoided, but they must not be ignored. Ail efforts towards ourcommon goal must remain united, and must not deteriorate intoa series of scattered committees or individuals who might havemixed motives for working towards a student government. Normust any series of individual or limited group plans for govern¬ment mechanisms be allowed to obscure the major problems weall face in our common endeavors. As a matter of fact, no plancan be advanced or considered by students before there has beensufficient assurance that the majority of students have acceptedthe principles of government.However, with the results of last week’s dormitory meetingas a sample of what can be done by determined and enthused stu¬dents, we can look forward to our future with hope and optimism. -FfkUy, January 26, 1945Letters To The Editor . . .To the Editor:At this point I am rather confused by all the verbiage thathas been bandied about the campus concerning a Student Council,a Dormitory Council, or what have you, and I don’t think that Iam alone in my confusion!I gather that The Maroon thinks we need an inter-dormitorycouncil. Being one of those creatures who lives OFF CAMPUS,I don’t feel I should put my two cents in. This council is a matterfor the dorm girls to decide; however I do think that the problemsfacing each dorm, in most cases are peculiar to that dorm, andthat any blanket rule covering all houses would just succeed inadding to the confusion.This is not my primary concern atthe moment. I mentioned the dormi¬tory council because this seems to bethe organization through which TheMaroon hopes to establish a StudentCouncil. I fail to see that the dormcouncil has any basic relationship withthe Student Council, other than thefact that girls living in the dormswould undoubtedly be membrs of theorganizations represented in the Stu¬dent Council. Ever since I becamePresident of the Y.W.C.A., I have felta definite need for a council wheregroup heads could get together andbecome acquainted with one anotherand also with the plans of the repre¬sented organizations. If severalgroups found that they were all inter¬ested in the same problem they couldpool their resources and reach a muchbroader section of the campus thanach group could hoe to reach separate¬ly. I think that discussions by thedifferent groups are valuable in bring¬ing out their special points of view,but there is a definite lack of co¬ordination about our campus activi¬ties.This problem of reaching all theorganizations on campus has becomeespecially vivid to me since I havebeen working as Treasurer of theWSSF Drive. To contact all thegroups and to see that they know ofthe drive and if possible to gain theirsupport is, under the present chaotic“system,” practically an impossibil¬ity. The Religious Emphasis Weekon campus is similarly hampered, inits aim to have campus-wide discus¬sion on one religious question, by thelack of organization. Certainly ev¬eryone can add to this list.From all indications many groupson campus are in favor of some formof Student Council—it only remainsfor some group to call the first meet¬ing of such a council. I believe thatwe should have the council be moreof an advisory body in the bginning.If we find that organization headscan really work together the Councilcould rapidly expand the area of itsactivities, perhaps into the realm ofstudent government. I definitely thinkthat such a council could promoteschool unity, and thus more schoolspirit—of the type that Mr. Gottes¬man approves. This council could alsostrengthen each organization by mak¬ing the campus realize that extra-cur¬ricular activities are important to thetotal growth and develoment of eachindividual; you don’t get everythingyou need for living the good life outof the Great Books. The sooner wehave a Student Council the better!Sincerely,Janet Davison.They Understand FederalistTo the Editor:In order to let The Maroon andits associates know our feelingson the subject of campus organi¬zation—we submit the following:Re: Formation of an intermediarycouncil.We are opposed to it because:1. We fail to see that there is any ne¬cessity for such p,n organization.2. A council without power is a use¬less organism. 3. As an advisory council it seemsdestined to fail: Blake and Gateshave their own house councils andHead Residents and in view of dif¬ficulties too great for those bodiesto care for, there is Mrs. Anthonyand Dean Kimpton. If the abovenamed halls cannot conduct theiraffairs with the propriety and com¬mon sense expected of them, if withthe help and advice of Mrs. An¬thony, Dean Kimpton, etc., theycan do no better—how is a power¬less organization composed of oth¬er dorm members going to solvetheir pressing problems? It seemsto us to be a matter strictly forBlake and Gates. The fault lieswithin them, and there it mustseek correction.Re: Formation of a Student Council:1. We fail to see that there is anypurpose in such organization.2. The virtues, propounded by TheMaroon of such undertaking seemto be insignificant.3. The various organizations on cam¬pus, Interclub, I-F, Social Commit¬tee, etc. do not need further inte¬gration or organization, because inthe main, thsoe organizations arerun, managed, and followed by sub¬stantially the same people. Thestudents on campus who have notjoined such groups, wish to be in¬dependent. Any closer organiza¬tion of those groups would onlystrengthen the grip the so-called“Rah-Rahs” have upon campus ac¬tivities of all sorts.4. Those • people who are engaged inardently pushing the proposed stu¬dent government plan seem to bemerely on the lookout for personal glory and power of one sort or an-other.5. It has been said that students en¬tering the third year of the Collegefrom high school (the majority)are in need of an organization inwhich they may find a place to makeup for the honors, etc. they left be-hind. If these people want it andwork for it, they will gain recogni.tion or whatever it is they are after.6. It has been said that those studentsentering the third year from thefirst and second arc also lost sheepbecause they have to give up theirtight cliques for the more open,and, if we may say, dmocratic thirdand fourth years. They seem towant a Student Council so thattheir former positions will not bethreatened.7. The reasons stated above for theproposed scheme seem to prove thatthis is one of the most high-handedstunts ever put over on a studentbody in the name of Democracy!8. The argument and suggestions fordealing with commuters lack anyvalue in view of the fact that dormwomen have barely enough room inthe halls for themslves. Loungearrangements are surely not up tothose in Ida, which are not evenfully used. Those commuters whohave friends in the halls have al¬ways been welcomed in, and will bewelcome in the future. We fail tosee how any further arrangementsfor their convenience can be madeoutside of securing for them andourselves a new Union building.It is the feeling ' generally heldamongst us that the formation of anInter-dorm Council is really only thefirst step in camus organization whichwould later include all groups into oneStudent Council. This we say to thosewho believe that a powerless Inter¬dorm Council would be worthwhile(and give no reasons for the assump¬tion), but who are rather stronglyagainst any formal campus organiza¬tion.

Mostof the eyebrow¬raising situationsare merely im¬plied rather thanindicated asmight be expect¬ed in a picture of this type. But thefilm does not stand or fall on this ac¬count; it is well-propped by severalelements: (1) appropriate casting,(2) the expert use of technicolor, and(3) a certain nonchalant air of who-cares, which seems to fit very well.Joan Fontaine gives a surprisinglylively performance as the ennuiedtoast of London. Perhaps inspired byher red wig, she happens to things andthey happen right back. Arturo deCordova has perfected the characterof any pirate in any movie by addinga touch of maturity, probably becauseof his nice restraint in the use of dashand swashbuckle, those two stockcharacteristics of all buccaneers.There is a little less of the leaping ga¬zelle about him. One might nameSenor de Cordova the first of the in¬tellectual pirates. He is calledthroughout the picture “The French¬man,” “Mon Capitaine,” and “MyDarling,” so I have no idea of whathis name was supposed to be.The story follows quite exactly thatwritten by the author: Dona St. Co-lumb, bored with her aimless life, herhusband, and "his friends, suddenlysnatches herself and her two childrenaway to her house on the coast ofCornwall. Dona is not very disturbedto find that a French pirate has beensleeping in her Cornish bed in herabsence, and that his ship is at thatmoment anchored in a nearby creek.They inevitably meet and discover de¬lightfully that they are two of a kind.The regal Lady St. Columb dons cabinboy’s apparel and boards the shipwith Mon Capitaine for an interestingbut not very convincingly dangerouspirating expedition in the neighbor¬hood. By the time she returns home,Mon Capitaine has • become My Dar¬ling, and once more the pirate’s needfor a name is evaded. She finally de¬cides, however, that her homing in¬stinct is too strong to break, beingthe mother of two and all that, soshe gives up the Frenchman to returnto a slightly more agreeable domesticatmosphere.All this is quite as mild and balmyas a cloudless sky, yet somehow thisis as it should be. The technicolor issoft and lovely, not too brilliant; thespirit of the century is admirablycaught; the psychology of her deci¬sion is exactly right. After all, ladiesdidn’t run away with pirates, althoughthere was no particular tabu againstmaking their acquaintance for a while.“Frenchman’s Creek” is a delightfuland attractive picture, for which rea¬sons I liked it immensely. First OfferingGiven TodayNoel Coward’s “The AstonishedHeart,” the first offering of the newexperimental theatre group, will bepresented at three-thirty this after¬noon in the East Lounge of Ida NoyesHall. The production will be fol¬lowed by a round-table discussion ofthe performance, in which JereMickel, Adele Freund, Merle Sloan,and Frederick Gottesman will par¬ticipate. The cast of seven includesRoberta Unger, Ann Barber, SidBurks, Bob Carter, Sonia Friedman,Maribelle Smith, and Bob DaVee.Admission is free.This one act selection from “To¬night at Eight-Thirty” was first per¬formed in the United States in 1936with Gertrude Lawrence and Mr. Co¬ward in the leading roles. It is drama,on “the defeat of mind by matter,”done in the usual Coward style, andhas been played with great successthroughout the country.An exhibition of contemporaryillustrated books will open Sunday,in the galleries of oGodspeed Hall.The exhibit is presented pointly bythe Friends of the Library and theRenaissance Society of the Uni¬versity.

The trio, organized lastyear, comprises Erich Itor Kahn,piano; Alexander Schneider, violin;and Benar Heifetz, ’cello. Mr. Kahnhas concertized extensively in Europe,and in 1938-39 toured with Pablo Cas¬als, the great ’cellist. Mr. Schneiderwas second violinist of the BudapestString Quartet from 1931 until 1943.Last summer he appeared on campusin a recital of Bach and Mozart so¬natas with Ralph Kirkpatrick, harp¬sichordist. Mr. Heifetz was a mem¬ber of the Kolisch String Quartetfrom 1926 until 1939. He has appearedwith the Budapest String Quartet assecond ’cellist in such works as theSchubert Quintet in C for two violins,viola, and two ’cellos. He is at pres-qpt first ’cellist of the N.B.C. Sym¬phony. W.R.W.Betty StearnsSidelights on FootlightsGogol once said, “Really there is such a lot of paper nowa¬days, that it takes time to think what to wrap up in it.'' “Whatshall we wrap up in,this superplussage of paper?" replied JohnAnderson a century later, “Why, Gogol." Fine, almost everybodywould agree to that, even tho' there is a shortage.-• x.T-rBut just the intricacies of coveringone little item, “The Inspector Gener¬al,” have confounded critics, actors,and directors for 108 years now.Notes on production angles are themost controversial, dating apparent¬ly from the first performance withwhich Gogol himself was dissatisfied.Even this should be a challenge to theO.D.P. group which will present thesatire on the Mandel Hall stage, Feb.9 and 10, but interestingly enough,there is more.In 1923, Ludwig Lewisholm an¬nounced that in “The Inspector Gen¬eral,” everything is sacrificed to theaction, which is trivial, dull, and stale.The celebrated Mr. Nathan, on theother hand, declared that to combatthis possibility, “the play lines mustbe projected like so many pies, itsvery stage has to smell like booze,its actors have to do everything ex¬cept take off their clothes and posein the nude.” John Anderson, whodid a profitable translation used onBroadway in 1937, combats this byremarking that it seems reckless todismiss Gogol’s people as farce typessuitable only for grotesque carica¬ture. They have in them the fine in¬tegrity of malice, a sort of cosmicscorn which pillories them as humanbeings, and the full strength of themockery lies in showing them forjust that.How then, can we come to a con¬clusion as to the manner of presentingeven the penniless clerk, Hlestakov,when critics disagree on broad out¬lines? Perhaps Gogol himself willcome to the rescue. Of Hlestakov,posing as a St. Petersberg dandy onvacation, he says, “He does not cheat.. .he is not a deliberate liar.” '(.itHe is a young man, an officialshallow, but with many good qualitiescharacteristic of people whom theworld does not consider shallow. Tobring out the failings of a set ofpeople who are by no means devoidof good qualities would have been acrime on the part of the author, for itwould have exposed them to generalridicule.”Well, it just goes to show you. ^No¬body ever pays any attention to theplaywright anyhow.AroundThe TownBetween a liquid cherry and ajordan almond with our old friend,Otto, we got all the news about oneof Chicago’s best meals, served withgrace at MAURIICE’S, 173 WestMadison.

In many instances duringthe past year, a responsible organiza¬tion representing the student bodywould have been of invaluable service.As matters now stand there is no wayfor the faculty or administration toascertain student opinion.

W.A.A. Sr, Medics^ Billings^ Phi GamsWin First Intramural GamesWith the intermural teams going intotheir second week of games, competionis becoming really stiff.In the college league, the commutersand Burton “600”, which has an aver¬age of 43 points per game, retainedtheir holds on the two top places bydefeating Burton “700”, and “400”18-11, 40-8, respectively; high-scorerfor “600” was Tex Morgan, 10 points;for the commuters, Etteison with 12.Burton “800” took the “500” team intheir stride, 26-10.Billings, of the Billings league, tookthe Senior Medics II for a 31-11 ride,as the Neurones beat the Spastics 19-7.Senior Medics I outplayed the BlockBusters to a 40-20 finish, as the NavyFrosh lost a hard game to the Fresh-man Medics, 13-15; the Frosh Medicsdropped a decisive game 16-28 to theirupper classmates, the Soph Medics.Competition in the UniversityLeague is very tight with four teamstied for first place. Sigma Chi droppeda forfeit to Psi U, 0-2; Burton 300rolled over the Golden Maroons, 43-13;and the Phi Gamma Delta lads walkedaway from Hill’s Entry by a scoreof 39-16.Jack HillMaroon Basketball Men CloseSeason With ,500 RatingChicago closed its 1944-45 basket¬ball season in its most successfulmanner since the days of 1938 witha record of 8 wins and 8 losses. Scor¬ing 650 points to their opponents 685the Maroons were still able to turnin a win against the Chicago Marineteam, a double victory over GardinerGeneral Hospital, a victory over Illi¬nois Tech, two wins against Wheaton,and a victory over George Williams.The season’s big three for Chicago,Raby, Brokken and DeGraw finishedin that order in the scoring columnwith Raby making 136 points in 16games, and Brokken and .DeGrawscoring 123 apiece. Season averagesshow Fred DeGrew putting in 9.5points in the 13 games he playedwhile George Raby averaged 8.5 inthe complete 16 game schedule.Ensign Howard Brokken, standoutat guard, scored his 123 points in 16contests for a 7.6 game rating. Theother guard, John Sharp, holdoverfrom the lower college team, playedan equally outstanding season drop¬ping in 45 baskets and 6 free throwsin 16 games. It must be rememberedthat in both Sharp’s and Brokken’scases, they palyed guard for the en¬tire year and most of their shots weremade from for out on the boor. Thepossibilities of Sharp improving hisaverage might have been greater ifthe lightining fast guard had drivenin more often but his scdring is ahighly creditable performance at anyrate.Remembered for the most sensa¬tional shot of the season, fans are still talking about Brokken’s onehanded pivot from the tip off linein the dying minutes of the first halfin the Illinois Tech game. FredDeGraw runs Brokken’s close second,although it would be hard to nameany one of DeGraw’s many sensa¬tional shots as mort outstanding.John Sharp, soon to leave the quad¬rangles, had his best night againstWheaton as he' dropped in 7 of hisfavorite one handed set shots fromway out on the floor. Raby, alwaysa consistent player, had the crowdon its feet more than once when itappeared he was warding off otherplayers and dropping the ball in thehoop on a tip in. His leap and turnshot proved comparable to DeGraw’shesitations and Brokken’s seeminglyimpossible book shots.The ten player squad which borethe brunt of the schedule is listed be¬low with their total games, filed goals,free throws, fouls and averages.G FG FT F TP Av.George Raby, c. 16 55 26 35 136 8.6Fred DeGraw, f. 13 60 23 19 123 9.5Howard16 47 29 33 123 7.616 45 6 33 96 6.012 28 24 3511 15 18 207 11 2 6Brokken, g.John Sharp, g.John Kuhn, f.Ken Sears, f.Lark Flanagan, f.John Adams, c. 10Hubert Dahms, g. 9LawrenceBreuklander, f. 7 80 6.648 4.524 3.410 1.010 1.12 0 .4 4 .6JACKSON PARK WINE STOREFINE WINESExclusive Distributors ofPiuma's 3 and 7 Star WinesMaroon readers are Invited to sample our wineS|With each purchase1500-02 EAST 63rd STREET PHONE HYDE PARK 0061 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL SCHEDULETuesday, January 307:007:007:007:467:467:46 Burton 600CommutersBurton 800Psi U.RyechsDribblesThursday, February 17:00 Freshman MedicsNeuronesSenior Medics ISenior Medics IIGolden MaroonsPsi U.7:007:007:307:467:458:00 vs. Burton 400vs. Burton 600vs. Burton 700vs. Pi Lambda Phivs. Commandosvs. Phantomsvs. Block Bustersvs. Soph Medicsvs. Billinersvs. Spasticsvs. Hill’s Entryvs. Burton 200Phi Gamma Delta vs. Burton 300Coach VorresTeaches Men,Women JudoWith the aim of teaching both menand women how to protect themselvesfrom physical harm in crises.
