TUITIONTrustees Order 10% Tuition Boosts $20 Feei6Cira 0011Vol. 4, No. Z-149n 1 • Friday, March 16, 1945 Price 5 CentsClaim DC NowFor Rich ManSpikes Rumor That RaiseMeans ^School For Rich'Assertions that the 10 percenttuition boost will convert theUniversity into a “playboy'srich man's school" were vigor¬ously denied yesterday by Presi¬dent Robert M. Hutchins in aninterview with the editors ofThe Chicago Maroon,Hutchins punctured the rumorby declaring that the raise wouldbe “more than offset” by the in¬creased scholarship grants and bynoting that “Chicago rates arecomparatively lower” than thoseof most American privately en¬dowed universities. Such smallinstitutions as Ripon, Haverford,Beloit, and Carleton maintaintuition rates equivalent to thosenow levied on Chicago students.The president told the Maroonlieads that the tuition increase wasemployed only as a final alternativewhen the spectre of decreased gov¬ernment expenditures and a steadilyincreasing deficit became apparent.Hutchins explained the $20 “Uni¬versity fee” will be earmarked for nospecial purpose but will be allocatedto the general University fund.

The Chicagostudent body will pour a total of $3,089^000 into University coffersas a result of the increase and an anticipated 15 per cent spurt inattendance.Hutchins said the increase was a direct result of a deficit fornext year's operations computed in budget estimates submittedto the Board of Trustees. He emphasized that a deficit total¬ling between $250,000 and $400,000 will remain even after theincrease in student fee income. The shortage will be paid out'ofUniversity reserves or via gifts, the president disclosed.Simultaneously, Dean of-Students Lawence A. Kimpton an¬nounced that student aid next year will total over $539,000, pro¬viding an increase of 37.8 per cent in all forms of fellowship andscholarship aid. The scholarship increase will alleviate any hard¬ships resulting from the tuition increase, according to Kimpton.Tuition charges for students in the College, Divisions, andSchools, except Law and Medicine, will be lofted to $110 perquarter plus the $20 fee. The fee, Hutchins explained, willreplace all current “nuisance assessments” except late penal¬ties, library fines, and laboratory breakage deposits. Healthand registration fees, laboratory course fees, and all gradua¬tion assessments, including the binding fee for these, will beeliminated under the new arrangement.The new $130 total represents, in comparison with the current(Continued on page six)Scholarships Hiked to Half Million MarkNearly two thousand University of Chicago students willshare over half a million dollars in scholarship funds tb be awardedin the 1945-46 academic year.Students taking only part-timecourses will also pay the fee, bring¬ing about further equalization.Asked whether gifts might notefface the deficit, the university pres¬ident said that the largest share ofthe gifts received have been markedfor some special purpose and makepossible only a function not nowmaintained by the University. Hutch¬ins added that the meteoric raise ofthe University could be attributed tothe $35 million donations given theUniversity by oil tycoon John D.(Continued on page six) ,Woes Taboo At TheQuarterly QuandryIda Noyes Council is sponsoring adance, The Quarterly Quandry, to_ beheld in Ida Noyes Library and Loungetonight from 8:30 to 11:30.

Dean Lawrence A.Kimpton announced last night thatChicago will subsidize its studentswith $539,000 next year as comparedto the current^ figure of $387,500.Kimpton said the increase wasa double-barreled measure in thatit will partially offset the tuitionboost and is in keeping with theUniversity policy of constant ex¬pansion of scholarship funds.All scholarships now charged togeneral University funds—a majorityof all those available—^will be auto¬matically increased 10 per cent tocover the increased tuition costs,Kimpton said. A full scholarship willnow total $110 per quarter, insteadof the present $100. Kimpton pointedout, however, that the scholarshipswill not include the new Universityfee of $20 per quarter, also scheduledto become effective in the fall.Kimpton also noted than $250,000is now available in student loans at a5 per cent interest rate. Loans are made from these funds for a one yearperiod with renewal privileges for an¬other four years. Loans outstandingat this time, Kimpton said, amount toonly half of the total available.(Continued on page three)The Maroon WillPublish LettersTo The Editor'In consonance with its avowed pol.icy of representing student opinion,the news columns of The Chicago Ma¬roon are open to student comments inthe form of “Letters to The Editor.”The Maroon invites the campus tosubmit letters of general campuswidqinterest.All letters should be addressed to“Letters to the Editor,” The ChicagoMaroon.

The Chicago total has laggedbehind other major institutions, how¬ever in accordance with educationpolicies framed by the University’sfounders. The new sum, the surveyrevealed, is still short of figures quot¬ed by other private institutions.Harvard assesses its students $400for two semesters in addition to $20fees, a total o:ft $420.

Remembering, of course,that this is still a private institution, and as such is dependententirely upon tuition and gifts for its income, it is, nevertheless,within the power of the Administration and the Board of Trusteesto make it possible for a larger number of capable, though finan¬cially handicapped students to continue to attend the University.Need, a CriterionThere are several ways of accomplishing this end, one of whichwould be to stress the criterion of financial need in the grantingof scholarships, instead of scholastic excellence alone. In such aninstance, all students who possess the necessary academic qual¬ifications would receive scholarships, but those people who couldnot demonstrate need would receive an “honorary” scholarship;i.e. a certificate in recognition of their achievements to replacethe regular cash disbursement of the scholarship.A Sliding ScaleAnother consideration which would probably necessitate amajor change in policy governing the granting of scholarshipawards and which would go far to equate financial differencesamong students, would be the institution of a sliding scale forscholarship disbursements. In this fashion, the academicallyqualified student could receive as little as $10.00 per quarter oreven an amount in excess of tuition, depending entirely on hisindividual financial requirements. For some students, the marginof aid necessary to remain at school may be somewhat less thanfull tuitionTransfer of Loan FundsFurthermore, to increase the total number of scholarshipsgranted, it may be possible to transfer some of the cash now beingheld by the various loan funds^ to the general scholarship fund.According to the latest figures, there are more loan funds on handthan calls for student loans. In those cases where the money hasbeen given to the University under specific restrictions by thedonor, it may be possible to suggest to the donor that the terms bechanged to allow for the investment of such funds so that at leastthe income yielded could be used for scholarship purposes.< In this manner, the increased number of scholarships couldassist a greater number of needy students; the “honorary”scholarships could sufficiently recognize the superior achievementof that student whose parents* or whose own financial resourceswere ample to pay for his complete education; and finally thesliding scale would materially equalize educational opportunity forthe capable, but economically handicapped student. We, of course,recognize that these changes would greatly increase the complexityof administering scholarship policy; yet, we are convinced thatthe greater benefit accruing to the student body would more thancompensate for the additional difficulty.A Moral ObligationAs a final thought, each scholarship should carry with it agentlemen*s agreement so that after a recipient graduated fromthe University and became sufficiently well established financially,he would endeavor to repay to the University the amount of thescholarship. This need not be a legal obligation. Rather, itshould be considered a moral obligation so that some other deserv¬ing student could receive the same material assistance towards.his education as the original holder of the University award,remembering, too, that even full tuition pays no more than Ys ofthe cost of his education at this University.

To be misunderstoodby bad critics is to be expected; to beused as an excuse for pseudo-platonicevolutionary interpretation is intol¬erable. Since his attack has beenlargely personal, I do not feel it un¬fair to examine the “psyche” of thisscribbler. He has two prominent de¬ficiencies, a lack both of taste and aproper historical perspective. To thesefailures of intellectual equipment, hehas added an inability to read exceptin the light of his own being. .His historical sense is faulty tobe certain. The “conscious contempla¬tion” of any object, “poetic” or not,existed long before the 19th Century.This is therefore a traditional, ratherthan a period piece. However, thelimited knowledge of your scribblerwould force him to brand this “archa¬ic” as he has my use of “the validsonnet form.” Evidently he has notheard of tradition nor even of changeand contrast in poetry else he shouldnot have offered such a criticism as“alternately compressed and diluted,modern in image and archaic inform.” With “traditional” substitutedfor “archaic” this becomes praise, forit is manner alone that we are “mod¬ern.” (Vide: MacNeice’s use of thepastoral, Hopkin’s, Cummings’ use ofthe sonnet, O’Neill’s and Jeffers’ useof the Greek tragedy.) The contrastwhich is used in both language andimage is in keeping with the basicanalogy of the poem which he haschosen to ignore. As for the title, “be¬tween the connotation and the deno¬tation falls the Reality” and the real¬ity is that the Hellbender ’mystics’apriori feelings to the contrary” isstill a weak, low, half evolved, presentday salamander unable to cope suc¬cessfully with any environment. Ishould question the adoration of themfor their sacrifices on the altar ofthe “Greater Good” (Oh blessed betheir leaky hearts!) if it had any¬thing to do with the poem. He hassuggested that I get my philosophyin order. I suggest he get his phi¬losophy the hell out of my poetry!I could continue in this vein, but Ifeel it is more effective to quote thewonderful Jabberwocky of his psy¬choanalysis :“We can damn him where we can¬not damn the salamander, for the sal¬amander must be reverenced as a no¬ble ghost. Harmon is not yet noble,but he is not a ghost. He is a force,still to fulfill its* function.” For thisrevelation (especially that this frameis more than an ectoplasm to whichhe has reduced the still living Hell¬bender) I shall be eternally grateful.Forcefully,John Harmon♦“it” who is John Harmon1 Servin' It HotLast Sunday afternoon’s jam ses¬sion at the Club Zanzibar was can¬celled on last minute notice. How¬ever we are assured the sessions willgo back on schedule this Sunday, andwhile the complete lineup hasn’t beenreleased Jay C. Higginbotham is stilldefinitely set on trombone, backed bya modern band.Hud Jacobson’s Chicago jazzmenof March 4 came off even more suc¬cessfully than Phil’s first presenta¬tion. The band stand was shifted tothe middle of the room, with thespectators circled around it, result¬ing in an even more relaxed, informalatmosphere. It certainly encouragedgreater audience participation in, thespirit of the thing. The Jungle Kingsimpressed me as more unified in play¬ing and feeling than the Richard M.Jones group, presenting a more cleancut, well knit style. The musicianswere very well balanced, especially inthe ensembles, which were truly of therough and ready Chicago vein. It wasmuch harder to pick out a few out¬standing individuals as was the case ofthe first session. Comment at randomwould be that Bud’s clarinet came offfine and it was good to hear WarrenSmith’s Dixieland trombone again. Iwas very happy, too, to hear TutSoper in really fine shape, and tonote the audience’s response to hissolo rendition of James P. Johnson’srhapsody Yamakraw.I think it would be of great interestto add that this band is availablefor some appropriate date on the U.of C. campus. A Saturday afternoonjam session with dancing if desired,would be a likely presentation. Allthat’s needed is the appearance ofsome campus organization to spon¬sor the affair, or at least enough in¬dication of interest from students towarrant individuals undertaking thepresentation.

Many tip-toed out again, duly impressed andsatisfied that they had undergone some kind of aesthetic experiencebecause, after all, hadn’t they seen the etchings of THE John Sloan?Others of us lingered, however, per¬haps hesitating to admit that whatwe saw there may have been expertcraftsmanship, but certainly it wasnot artistic genius.Of the critics who think him great,many believe this greatness to lie inhis true Americanism. As Miss Dor¬othy Grafly puts it, he “. . . stands to¬day as one of the country’s foremostpainters, his American art integrityunimpaired by European influences.”This seems, though, to be more ofa condemnation than praise, forcan a self-conscious national art dis¬place universal art which draws itspower and understanding from thegrowth of tradition? Each countryand age has contributed to this artisticevolution and each artist must takehis place in the whole movement; hemust draw from the past and inter¬pret his findings in terms of the pres,ent.Technically, he has complete con¬trol of his medium and it is obviousthat there is no element of chance inthft effect he tries to achieve. Thecompositional and plastic qualitiesshow acceptable academic form. Butagain, I question the merit of theeffect he has tried to achieve.The graphic medium lends itself. by nature, to great power and lineinterest. Yet Mr. Sloan, in his nudesespecially, becomes so absorbed in su¬perficial decorations that the struc¬ture collapses and the strength of thewhole is weakened.He says of his own technique, “Mostpainters are content with the visualpeelings, but I have thrown away thepeelings and prefer to deal with thething itself. Then when I have fin¬ished with the thing itself, I add myown peelings.” It seems to me though,that he got lost in his pile of peelingsand the result may just be anothercase of not being able to see thewoods because of the trees.On the same subject, Mr. H. Bos¬well McBride says, “That cross-hatching and tatooing with which hecrochets the model, function neitheras line, nor form, nor light, nor asbroken color; it is, rather, a mere¬tricious device to camouflage the art¬ist’s appalling banality . . . This es¬sential banality is even more appar¬ent in the passionless routine withwhich he approaches a wide varietyof subjects. Whether it is a studionude, a Sante Fe landscape or a stalesatire, it bears a faint odor of decay,behi;id it all yawns the tired bour¬geois.”IFriday, March 16, 1945Greater Influence SeenFor University PressesBy Joan Kohnuniversity press should be a carrier of scholarship, pri¬marily of the university but also of scholarship all over the world.Secondly, it should interpret problems of scholarship for the adultreader.’^ These are the views of Joseph A. Brandt, Director ofthe University of Chigao Press. Quadrangles Page FiveMore HutchinsThe President is a confirmed chain pipe smoker: on his deskhe has a row of pipes which he fills, one by one, smokes halfway,and then starts on the next one. We note from the Times thatMaude is over at Lying-In for a rest. One of our friends wentover to see one of the vice presidents the other day; while he waswaiting in the President’s office he took up a newspaper to spendhis time profitably—suddenly Hutchins poked his head out thedoor and chided, “This isn’t the men’s lounge, you know.”Shortage Acute?Last Friday we saw two of our so-called sweet young things wanderingcasually into the College Library smoking enormous stogies. At least twopeople looked at them solicitously and offered them cigarettes if they werereally THAT needy. (Incidentally, the same two gave a repeat performanceTuesday night at the Documentary Film.) Not even a mild sensation re¬sulted in the library through—habitues dismissed it as “just one of thosethings that goes on at the University of Chicago.”About PeopleHarriet Roth had a wonderful time, we hear, when she visited her manup at Glencoe. Peggy Nickerson is leaving us for Stanford. Another Cali-fornia-goer is Jeanne Schlageter—but she’s not staying there long. DottyDuft was married last Saturday night—two of her six bridesmaids werefrom U. of C.—Bobby Wing and Barbara Winchester. Jean Lundberg isplanning to be married soon. Joyce Heintz’s man, whom she hasn’t seen forthree years, was in a while ago.Student HealthThe doctors at Student Health have their hands full with the entirecampus running over there to see what can be done about their spring fever—and why not? Nova Scotia and sundry females have been parading acrossthe quadrangles in bare feet; the usual quota of loafers are studying (euphe¬mism for sleeping) under the trees while fond couples coo at each other onthe grass. By the way, a chance remark overheard at student health presentsan interesting problem: “Why not control birth control?”CongratulationsTo the newly elected club presidents: Pi Belt’s June Arnold, Chi Rho’sEllen Baum, Alpha Chi Theta’s Debby DeBaun, Sigma’s Tidi Evans, Quad’sCorky Glasner, M.B.’s Louise Harvey, Tau Sig’s Erma Kallen, Wyvem’s Dor¬othy Klein, and Delta Sig’s Irene McEnroe. .We just haven’t the names ofother new presidents—but they get bouquets too.Sports SectionThe Big Ten track meet at the Field House Saturday night providedmuch fodder for thought We’re still wondering what some people think atrack meet is; there were at least three females with men (appropriatelyclad in sports clothes) who were dressed to the skin of their teeth with inchesof makeup, hair piled high on their heads, spike heels, and otherwise dressedfor a night at the opera. Two of these well-dressed women discovered in themiddle of the meet that they were bored and flounced off to U.T. with theirostrich feathers bravely waving.Life HistoryWe noticed in the University of Minnesota Dally that the origin of thelittle ditty about one meatball has been discovered: it seems that a shy and.mild Harvard professor went out one night to an eatery and since he wasn’tvery hungry ordered one meatball. When he complained about having re¬ceived no bread, the waiter (a tough one) replied, “We don’t serve no breadwith one meatball.” The professor never quite forgot the incident—it hadseared his tender soul—and one day he wrote the song. In connection withthe song, we found an old song book of the 1890’s where the subject was thelone flshball.Saturday Night DoingsAfter the C Dance, an energetic group of musically-minded studentsserenaded the President; after B & G chased them away, they proceeded tothe Circle, sang for a while, and then started to practice their screams. Thescreams aroused the girls at Blake (who had been sleeping none too se¬curely because someone had been tampering with the locks on the fire-escapedoors) who had a bad half hour of it hanging out of the windows and ex¬horting the ever-present B & G men to search Cobb Hall.Military Movie-GoersJust another sign of spring was the group of rather portly majors andcolonels we saw running along the Midway and up the steps of InternationalHouse bellowing at the top of their lungs, “CHARGE!”Acclaim TwoArtists HereFollowing the playing of the Mozart“D Major Sonata”, closing number onlast Friday’s Chamber Concert, awildly enthusiastic audience broughtback Alexander Schneider, violinistand Ralph Kirkpatrick, harpsichordistfor six curtain calls. The pleased per-formers then played an encore, a“rondo” from a third Mozart sonata.The acclaim was well deserved.Both Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Schnei¬der exhibit the highest mastery intechnical skill. But this is not theprimary excellence in their playing.It is rather to be found in that com¬plete perfection of ensemble which isthe ultimate in the art of chambermusic interpretation.The program was such as to makeat least one musically-minded persongroan that the music department wasbecoming too intellectual. The firsthalf consisted of Sonata No. 7 byBiber, the Bach Srd Sonata and Moz¬art’s Sonata, C Major, Kbchel No. 396.In the Bach, the two demonstratedfully that beauties in all works arenot to be found in an over-emotional“schmaltzy” treatment. Pure, beau¬tiful phrasing coupled with a deli¬cate sense of dynamics and unwaver¬ing tempo produced a result whichmust have been beyond Bach’sdreams; for in comparison with othersof his works, the 3rd sonata is notoutstanding.Following the intermission wereRitratta dell Amore, by Couperin,and the already mentioned MozartSonata in D Major, Kbchel No. 306.The Couperin work is a series of eightmovements with descriptive Frenchtitles.After an evening of early sonatas,the D Major, which bears close affini¬ties with Beethoven, was a thrillingclose.The keyboard instrument domin¬ated the performance throughout, cul¬minating in a full cadenza in the lastmovement. The performers gave afreer, warmer interpretation to thiswork, as was warranted by the style.In their fine performance the twoartists gave us insight into the pos¬sibilities offered in their particulartonal medium. The harpsichord andviolin blended almost to the point ofsounding like one instrument. Theover brilliance of the piano is lack¬ing; the harpsichord in Mr. Kirkpat¬rick’s hands is not just a predecessorof the modem piano. It has its ownrange of dynamic and varieties oftone color; in the latter respect, ex¬ceeding the piano. Special praiseshould be given to Mr. Schneider forhis amazing skill in producing a soft,flexible and yet very warm tone whichadapted itself to the harpsichordremarkably well. All the slight un¬sureness which marked the openingportions of Mr. Schneider’s perform¬ance with his Albeneri Trio someweeks ago, was gone; the longer as¬sociation of these men may explaintheir higher quality of musicianshipthan the Trio. —S. G. Mr. Brandt believes that the roleof the university press in the futuredevelopment of American cultureshould be increasingly great. It isthe book that is first in the serviceof keeping freedom alive. It is therole of the university presses to com¬bat the threat of growing intolerance,due to lack of knowledge and under¬standing, by bringing “light to the^dark places which mark our socialfrontier.”Evidence of the merit of these prin¬ciples lies in the receipt of the an¬nual Carey Thomas Award forGreater Publishing, conferred uponthe Press in 1944.A great monument to these idealsstands in Friederich A. Hayek’s TheRdad to Serfdom, published by thePress in 1944. Proclaimed “one ofthd^ most important books of our gen¬eration,” its sales have passed the30,000 mark and have set a new rec¬ord for the Press. This epic book,which “restates for our time the issuebetween liberty and authority withthe power and rigor of reasoning,”has attracted world-wide attention.The Volume is now going into itsseventh printing and after its ap¬pearance in condensed form as thelead article in the April issue ofReader’s Digest, it may go throughmany more. Having already brokenits tradition by proceeding the articlewith a testimonial to the book, theDigest will continue with a seriesof comments by prominent people inthe May issue. This book is indeeda “merchant of light.”Hayek, incidentally, will lecture atthe University in the very near fu¬ture.Freedom is More Than a Word, byMarshall Field, is already creatingwidespread interest, although its pub¬lication date is ' still over a monthaway. Advance sales are the larg^estin the history of the Press, amountingto almost 12,000 copies. This book,by one of America’s foremost liberals,is another step toward Brandt’s aim“of making the printed page the uni¬versity of every man!” — THE CHICAGO MAROONGeisha Gazette:It's ASTP PaperOn (^adranglesVolume one, number one of THEGEISHA GAZETTE, a newspaperpublished by the enlisted men ofthe ASTP language units stationedat the University of Chicago, wasborn on March 9, 1945.The title was chosen by vote be¬cause of its alliterative qualitiesbut the army chooses to keep themeaning of “GEISHA” a militarysecret.

K.Betty StearnsSidelights on FootlightsLast Friday’s experimental theatre production of “Minikin and Manikin”and “The Stronger” was in many ways far superior to the group’s formerperformances—“The Astonished Heart” or “Phometheus Bound”. By con¬sidering such things as choice of play, execution, criticisms, and finally audi¬ence, we ought to be able to trace recent progress.When considering the character of the questions presented by “Minikinand Manikin”, puppet-like postures and timing, admittedly, they were rec¬ognized as such, if not completely encompassed. Mr. Edwards, by far themost searching critic yet heard, praised both Sonia Friedman and Sid Burksfor their work in the Kreymburg piece, remarking on the weak points andoffering suggestions for improvement. Inasmuch as “The Stronger” callsfor a monologuist as well as a pantominisV inquiring into the adequacy ofeach would be vast work. But it wouldn’t be fair to either Jean Cooke orRoberta Unger to say merely that they did very well. They did some thingswell and other things not so well, but what’s more important is that theywere able to deliver a sizeable impact because of a thorough knowledge ofStrindberg and what he was trying to do.“Prometheus Bound”, planned by Robert Carter, was treated with over¬whelming grace by its guest critics, David Grene, Tennessee Williams, andJere Mickel. As an attempt at stylizing an appalingly difficult drama, itwas admirable. To talk about the performance as having met with all theproblems posed would be absurd, because half were not realized in the shorttime in which it was prepared. Thus I say the critics were gracious, ap¬plauding the actors and the impression made, rather than speaking in termsof what was done to Aeschylus. *Page SixiVetc Deans...(Continued from page one)of the library school, has been elev¬ated to the offices of associate deanand dean of students of the school.Garfield V.

Possible exten¬sion of social security legislation, fa¬vored by the University, would re¬sult in an increased outlay by theUniversity of more than $300,000.Faculty members now on leave arealso returning from government serv¬ice and their contract payments willbe resumed by the university.Hutchins said it was unlikelythat tuition will be reduced afterthe war when a larger enrollmentis expected because of the steadi¬ly rising costs of operation.

The medical schoolincrease has been set at 18.6 per cent, computed on the basis ofa present assessment total of $156 and the new total of $185.The percentage figures listed, however, are slightly higherthan the real increases, since they are computed on a quarterlybasis, and do not take into account the cancellation of the gradua¬tion fees.Items that will increase the University’s expenses in 1945-46will include $97,000 in salaries for newly appointed faculty mem¬bers and $118,000 in salary increases to current professors.$465,000 will be required to cover the “reconversion” costs whichwill accrue during the fiscal year from June 30 of this year toJune 30, 1946. This total is broken down into $177,000 to be paidin salaries to faculty members, at present on leave from theUniversity for government service, who will be returning to thepayroll, and an additional $288,000 will be needed to finance plantoperation and overhead expenses which are now paid by thegovernment under the terms of its contracts with the University.These expenses will revert to the University with the cancellationof the wartime program. Government contracts for next yearwill amount to $10,500,000, a decrease of $6,750,000 from lastyear’s peak of $17,250,000.Iran murnSpickness and spanness were de riguenr in the col¬leges of the 1840s.

It was the Michigan indoorsquad’s third consceutive title andthe Wolverines have now dominatedBig Ten indoor track for 10 seasonsout of the past 12.Illinois Takes 7 FirstIn the line of an unusual first,it was believed that one teamhad never compiled 7 first places as Illinois did and still go downin defeat.

It was that block of 37points which contributed greatlytowards the Wolverine’s retain¬ing their crown.Form held good in all events ex¬cept the high jump, Badger Bill Bach¬man upsetting Armin Bauman ofMinnesota with a leap of 6 feet 2inches.

And the people to whomthe article was directed, ignoredit. We'll let things ride for awhile now. But look at the storyand ignore the language whichwas so terribly shocking. Maybeit will take on a different light.More later ....To get on to a little safer ice, theBig Ten meet at the Fieldhouse wasrun off in beautiful style. With theexception of the announcer, whosounded like Pollyanna, there weren’tany grounds for complaint. Split sec¬ond timing and some very good effortskept the meet moving and kept thecrowd interested., We talked to the third placewinner in the high hurdles, anOhio State boy named Bill Sie-bert, who was very compliment¬ary when he spoke of the Field-house. He said it was the besttrack and house he’d competedin this year. Catching Illinois*Bob Kelley on the run, no smallfeat in itself, proved to give thesame reaction. Kelly really likesthe Fieldhouse track. And finallywe talked to those fabuous twinsfrom Michigan, the Hume Boys.Again we got the same answer,“The floor is great.” All of whichis very fine but Chicago stiltdidn’t place. But neither didNorthwestern. So we weren’t leftout in the cold.With the weather being as it istoday, we can’t pass up commentingon the activity on the Midway infront of Ida. Baseballs are flying andyoung love is rife. But we should on¬ly comment on the baseball. There’s;a heated argument in the makingabout Hal Patinkin’s hitting. One sidesays he hasn’t hit the ball more than300 feet, the other side claims Patinkhas rapped out a 400 foot drive. Allof which is very well except that Pa-tinkin is backing up the 400 footbunch.Maroons Rank 3rdIn All-Time RatingFollowing the Big Ten Indoor track Jmeet and the Conference swimmingmeet last Saturday, a compilation oftotal aggregate Western conferencechampionship show that while Chi¬cago has dropped Big Ten participa¬tion in nearly all branches of athle¬tics, the Maroons still hold third placewith 69 individual team crowns. Mich¬igan set a new record over the week¬end, running their totals to 101, whileIllinois followed them with 91. Chi¬cago is apparently secure in thirdposition for some time as its nearestchallenger, Minnesota, can claim only40 such titles.|P«g« Bght* THE CHICAGO MAROON l^iday, March 16. 1945HP' • • f m ■JTlJ.. iu.
