A newsuite of offices has been taken inthe Reynolds Club, and the weeklyForum is held in the club assem¬bly hall Thursday evenings. Therehas been a large turnout for thedebate team, and classes in de¬bating and forensics are beingsponsored by the Forum,The debate team already has aschedule which includes North¬western University, MundeleinCollege, and Loyola University.Other meets are being arranged,and the team will definitely com¬pete for the Big Ten title. Sevenor eight speaking engagementshave already been fulfilled.The first debate on the Big Tenquestion will be held with Mun¬delein College on Thursday, No¬vember 29, at 7:30 p.m. in Room205 of the Reynolds Club. Thesubject of the debate is “Resolved:That the Foreign Policy of theUnited States Should be Directedto the Establishment of FreeTrade Among the Nations of theWorld,” and it will be debatedaffirmatively by Marqueeta Mackand Antoinette Totino.

The leasesstipulated that the houses wouldbe returned six months after thesigning of the armistice.Three Occupy Houses NowThree fraternities — Phi SigmaDelta, Phi Gamma Delta and PiLambda Phi — currently occupyhouses, while the remaining sevenexpect the return of their housesby April 1.“Fraternities have not beenabolished at the University of Chi¬cago and we plan to continue tooperate as heretofore,” Halvorsensaid. He pointed out that underthe board’s ruling rushing of col¬lege students is permitted untilMarch, 1947. Hence there will stillbe students in the college in fra¬ternities until 1949,To Plan for FutureThe fraternities are investigat¬ing the feasibility of continuing inthe divisions which is dependenton a number of contingencies, Hal¬vorsen said, including the graduateenrollment, number of exchangestudents, and classification ofgraduate students.The ten chapters here are nowin contact with the University ofChicago Alumni Inter-Fraternity ERNEST C.

They urged that no re¬strictions be imposed on teaching,research, or communication of theresults of basic scientific research.“Since the development of man¬kind requires that the freedom ofenquiry be protected in order topreserve and enrich our civiliza¬tion.”Would Shackle All ScienceShackling atomic research mightalso seriously impair investigationin other scientific fields, the Coun¬cil cautioned.Its resolution was sent to thePresident, the cabinet, and Con¬gressional leaders and containedthe signatures of the Central Ad¬ministration and the 51 professors.The action was the first of itskind ever taken by the Universityof Chicago acting as a single group.Resolution is ReleasedThe resolution follows in full:“The council of the Universityof Chicago (the supreme academicbody) is deeply concerned withthe maintenance of the freedomof research and the unrestricteddissemination of scientific knowl¬edge,”“The development of mankindrequires that the freedom of in¬quiry and dissemination of knowl¬edge be protected in order to pre¬serve and enrich our civilization.The enormous advances in ourtime in the sciences and arts havecome about in large part becausemen have been free to pursue(Continued on Page 3) UniversityTo SponsorRadio DramaMitchell Tower SceneOf "Human Adventure'^RegistrationSpars to NewHigh of 5000 Housing Crises Grips UC;Enrollment Curbs MappedA long list of refused applica¬tions for admission to the Uni¬versity loomed here yesterday asa result of lack of adequatehousing and classroom facilities.The Office of Admissions, whichhas been receiving an average of75 inquiries each day, has an¬nounced that a limit of 150 stu¬dents will be admitted to the Col¬lege for the Winter quarter. Fiftynew applicants will be first andsecond year students and the bal¬ ance third and fourth year appli¬cants. The 150 figure includesveterans to be admitted under theG-I bill.Tabulations released by theOffice of Admissions this weekreveal that 4917 students areregistered in the University thisquarter, either on a full or part-time basis. This is an increase of13per cent over last year’s total,it was pointed out.Twelve hundred new students. a record-shattering total, were ad¬mitted to the College this Fall.250 entered in the first year, 71in the second year, 621 in thethird year, and 92 in the fourthyear.On the basis of insufficientpreparatory training, a total of325 students were refused admis¬sion to the University, the admis¬sions office said.Divisional totals have not yetbeen compiled. That “The Human Adventure,”dramatic radio program of theUniverstiy of Chicago will con¬tinue to be broadcast from Mitch¬ell Tower was announced byGeorge Probst, executive secre¬tary of the University radio office.At present the program has nosponsor.In announcing continuance ofthe program, Probst told of thepromotion and development of theprogram under the direction ofWilliam Benton and ChancellorRobert M. Hutchins. The board oftrustees of the University support¬ed the project by sanctioning theinvestment of more than $40,000.The program, which is a dramaticpresentation of science, knowledgeand University research, first ap¬peared on the Columbia Broadcast¬ing Sysetm in 1939 and returned tothe air in 1943 on Mutual Broad¬casting System. In this second ser¬ies on Mutual, the EncyclopaediaBrittannica, which is associatedwith the University, invested morethan $45,000 in the project.Radio station WGN also carrieda considerable part of the pro¬duction cost in this same seriesand it is unlikely that the programcould have been resumed withoutthis support and financial contri¬bution.

Dr. Nelson,Professor Emeritus since last year,is the Field Director of the Uni¬versity’s headquarters at Luxor,Egypt.Since 1924 the expedition atLuxor has been copying the an¬cient Egyptians scenes and inscrip¬tions on the large temples of thatarea. Dr. Nelson, who has directedthe work from the beginning, leftLuxor in May, 1940. Sees NewNeed forEducationAtom-Bomb ImperillingCivilization-Hutchins“Atomic development will meana greater need for liberal educa¬tion,” asserted Chancellor RobertMaynard Hutchins in his annualreport, “The State of the Univer¬sity,” released this week. “Educa¬tion may not save us, but it is theonly hope we have,” he warned.“Without the bomb the prospectsof civilization' would be dubiousenough,” writes Hutchins, “nowthat we have it, they are black.”“The enormous acceleration ofscience and technology must some¬how be matched by an intensifica¬tion of all those processes whichhelp us to understand what weought to do with science and tech¬nology; but these are educationalprocesses—notably the processes ofliberal education.”Hutchins believes that the ‘se¬cret’ of the atomic bomb must beshared with other nations. “Nohopes can be based on the so-called‘secrecy’ of the atomic bomb. Thereis no secret. The theory of theprocess was well understoodthroughout the world before thewar. What America has done isto show that the theory will work.”“No hopes can be based on thenotion that only America has theindustrial power to make thetheory work. The progress of re¬search must be in the direction ofmore abundant material andcheaper processes; and, in myevent, it cannot be assumed thatother nations will not some dayhave industrial power comparableto our own.”Hutchins comments on the Van-nevar Bush recommendations thatgovernment funds be used to stim¬ulate teaching of and research inscience in all colleges and uni¬versities. He advances the ideathat the proposed scholarships andfellowships will have the effect ofattracting all the talents of thecountry into science.“There can be no question thatthey will have this tendency,”warns the University Chancellor.“The remedy, however, is not torefuse to support science on thisground, but to offer equal oppor¬tunities in other fields that areequally important to the public.”Hutchins goes on to state thatthe education of our people forfreedom, the proper developmentof our social and political institu¬tions, and the control and directionof the results of scientific researchitself all depend upon our willing¬ness to foster the growth andtraining of ability in fields unre¬lated to science.“The scientific developments atthe University which are recordedin this report are spectacular andwill have the most significant con¬sequences for the world,” addedHutchins. “If they are not at thelast to do more harm than good,they must be paralleled by a vitaland effective program of liberaleducation for all.”Appoint NewHealth HeadAmong the more recent admini-strational changes which tookplace this quarter was the ap¬pointment of Dr. Ruth Taylor ashead of the Student Health Serv¬ice. Dr. Taylor, a graduate of theUniversity Medical School, is anexperienced member of the serv¬ice’s staff and has devoted herattention to student needs forsome time.One of her chief plans is thefurthering of Student Health toits utmost activity. At the momenta number of proposals have bennpresented to the Board of Trusteesconcerning the service, amongwhich are the addition of a dentist-(Continued on Page 8) Maroon JumpedGun on BombThe atom-bomb may havebeen the war’s biggest secretto most Americans but itcame as a mere anti-climaxto the editors of THE MA¬ROON who inadvertently al¬most “spilled the beans” sixmonths before Pearl Harbor.Alert readers of THE MA¬ROON could have learned ofthe A-bomb on April 20,1945. In a story on Nobelprize winners the paper, inreferring to Arthur HollyCompton, mentioned that heand “his colleagues are work¬ing on the problem fraughtwith tremendous possibili¬ties of releasing atomicenergy.”Publication of the articlewas one of nearly 2,000 cen¬sorship violations in regardto the atom bomb reportedby The New Yorker maga¬zine on Oct. 27.Hutchins' MemoRaps May BillCharges that the May-Johnsonatom-bomb bill, now in the senate,would jeopardize American insti¬tutions, are contained in a six-point memorandum which Chan¬cellor Robert M. Hutchins hassigned.The memorandum, which is un¬derstood to embody Hutchins’ leg¬islative views, was drafted at ameeting of twenty prominentAmerican educators and journal¬ists at Rye, New York, Oct. 28.Among U. of C. representatives a!the Rye conclave w'ere RobertRedfield, dean of the Social Sci¬ence Division, who served as chair¬man; Robert C. Gustavson, v'ice-president of the University; andHarold C. Urey, U. of C. Nobelprize winning chemist.“Stop Arms Race!”Hutchins signed the memoran¬dum which said that the May-Johnson bill will “jeopardizeAmerican institutions, frustratethe fundamental research neces¬sary to maintain American leader¬ship, set up authority responsibleto none, make it more difficult tostop the present drift towards anatomic armament race, make nor¬mal negotiation of internationalagreements in the field more diffi¬cult, and interfere with attemptsto set up vitally necessary inter¬national controls.”The bill provides for the estab¬lishment of a commission, presum¬ably to be headed by an army offi¬cial, which would have completecontrol not only ov.er military re¬search, but in scientific, medical,and industrial fields as well.Committe ProposalsIn its stead, Hutchins and thecommittee are understood to haveproposed the following:1) Appointment of a commissionand an administrator who wouldbe responsible to president andcongress, and removable by thepresident in the same manner as acabinet officer.2) Secrecy regulations applicableonly to design features of plantdetails of the atomic bomb, andnot to any scientific knowledge.3) Secrecy regulations should bereviewed by a special cabinet com¬mission before promulgation.4) A commission should be re¬quired to provide sufficient mate¬rials for independent research, andthe commission should have nopower to control research.5) After an appropriate interval,the commission must recommendto Congress standards for govern¬ment regulation of industrial useof atomic energy; until such timeas the Congress adopts regulationsthe commission should not havepower to permit use of atomicpower for industrial use, althoughresearch toward industrial useshould be permitted.6) Free exchange cf scientificinformation with ether United Na¬tions should be permitted. .., Religious Round'UpCU in NewProbe HereOf FascismChapel Union announces that itis continuing last spring’s study ofnative American fascism.Each Friday evening at 7 00p.m., a group leaves from ChapelHouse to • attend meetings of theCitizens’ USA Committee, a typi¬cal native fdscist ■ organization,characterized by raci?l intoler¬ance, isolationism, red-baiting andhate in general.Meetings are held downtown inKimball Hall, and all those in¬terested in observing this type ofAmerican fanaticism first-handmay sign up at Chapel House andreport at the time indicated. Fol-low-up discussions of the meetingsare held on Sunday evenings at 8p.m. This Sunday, CU will haveas guest speaker, Leo Hurwicz, ofthe Department of Economics, whowill discuss “Labor and Manage¬ment.”Barn Dance PlannedCU also has a wiener roast andbarn dance planned for Thursday,November 29, at the “point” inJackson Park.

This head acts as an ad¬visor, taking a personal interestin the problems of each individ¬ual member. In addition to thg^resident head, each house has alsoan associate head and an athleticadvisor.Plan Provides Special TrainingAthletic activities arc centeredin dormitory teams, with compe¬tent coaching and instruction invarious sports. Students can re¬ceive special training in any sportin which they are interested.“The office of the Dean of stu¬dents stands ready to recognizeany new student organization oractivity which presents a construc¬tive plan in consonance with Uni¬versity administrative policy andwhich is predictive of a sufficient¬ly broad stydent participation toguarantee its success,” Chidseystated. He also emphasized the im¬portance of veteran participationin activities, expressing the opin¬ion that the> veteran should notfeel strange or out of place in hiscontacts with younger students forthere are many in the same situ¬ation who have been away fromschool^ for several years. He be¬lieves that if older students willexert the influence of their ex¬perience it will be beneficial to allstudents in the House Plan.William H. Marlow * * *New Dean . . .DEAN ALAN L. CHIDSEYOrganize toAct AgainstIntoleranceDisturbed by the recent racialriots in the Chicago area and else¬where in the country, a group ofstudents from the various campusorganizations, have organized ananti-discrimination committee.The Anti-Discrimination Com¬mittee will be primarily concernedwith the investigation of and ac¬tion against discriminatory prac¬tices at the University. Action willalso be taken on off-campusmatters which are directly con¬cerned with the committee’s ac¬tivities.Organizations which have thusfar sent official representatives tothe committee include the Maroon,Labor Rights Society, AmericanYouth for Democracy, SocialistStudy Club, Negro Students Club,YWCA, Bar Association, CalvertClub, and the U. of C. local of theUnited Office and ProfessionalWorkers of America (CIO).Independent students interestedin the committee are invited toattend the meeting, held everyTuesday at 8:30 P.

The Con¬stitution of the United States notonly granted' freedom of speechand of the press, but specificallyrecognized the “progress of scienceand useful arts” as a basic objectof American government.“The successful application ofscientific knowledge to the devel¬opment of many devices of war¬fare, including the atomic bomb,under conditions of rigid control,has led to a widespread miscon¬ception that scientific research canand should be permanently organ¬ized in this way. It should berecognized that the growth of sci¬entific knowledge before the warand the development of the menwho were responsible for its war¬time applications were only pos¬sible under conditions in whichuncensored communication ofideas and unrestricted freedom ofresearch prevailed, permitting thefree play of scientific imagination.Progress in nuclear studies andthe industrial and military appli¬cations of atomic energy willwither at the root if the constantinflux of young men of the high¬est ability into the field is discour¬aged by such controls as havebeen suggested in Congress. Na¬tional safety would be impaired,not conserved.“Moreover, nuclear studies occu¬py such a pivotal position in sci¬ence today that discoveries in thisfield may be expected to revolu¬tionize many collateral branchesfrom anatomy to medicine. Bycontrolling nuclear research allscience may be shackled.“We, therefore, respectfully urgethe Congress of the United Statesto impose no restrictions onteaching, research, or communica¬tion of the results of basic scien¬tific research (other than thoserequired to guard against hazardsto personal safety) and to pro¬mote individual research by suchmeasures as. are necessary to pro¬vide access to essential materials.“Even if national control ofatomic energy is restricted to in¬dustrial and military applications,we are concerned over the formof control proposed in the May-Johnson bill. We affirm our con¬viction that a public agency deal¬ing with atomic energy should besubject to the usual control of theChief Executive, the Congress, andthe courts, and the traditional pre¬dominance of the civil over themilitary authority should be jeal¬ously preserved.”5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5cmaroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maro(maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago more) maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago mano maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago mai|o maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago mago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago meigo maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago m<ago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago m:ago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago rcago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicagoicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicagolicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicagohicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicag<:hicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicagChicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicatChicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicaChicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicis Chicago moroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicle Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chiihe Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the chicogo maroon the chi^he Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the*chthe Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the Chicago maroon the cl5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5c 5c Here and ThereIBS Hookup for 4 Schools;Classify Jobs at Normal UNetwork radio broadcasting isno longer a job for professionalsonly. On November 12, four east¬ern Pennsylvania colleges will jointheir student-run campus stationsin a permanent wire hookup. Thisdirect link will transmit a contin¬uous exchange of lectures, debates,music, and sports between Swarth-more, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, andthe University of Pennsylvania, allmembers of the Inter-collegiateBroadcasting System.The new regional collegiate net¬work will be opened by Swarth-more with a brief preview of theoutstanding features to be airedduring the coming months.The hookup’s establishment wasforetold six months ago by thefirst college network broadcast,linking twelve IBS stations for anhour-long program celebrating theUnited Nations Conference. Thebroadcast originated at ColumbiaUniversity, and student engineersinsist no ‘first’ network offeringwas ever so technically flawless.Before the war, college stationswere going on the air from Maineto California. The IBS, a non¬profit organization, links all thesestations, and is cooperatively ad¬ministered by its members fromoffices in New York. It offerstechnical and programming adviceby mail and through field repre-senatives.Now that the war is over, IBSis swamped with requests for in¬formation and help in getting col¬lege campuses all over the country‘on the air.’Student EmploymentWith labor problems taking thenational spotlight, the StudentEmployment Office at SouthernIllinois Normal University, Car-bondale, Ill'., has brought out aconstructive program for the clas¬sification of employment for stu¬dent workers.Available campus jobs arebroken down into four classes ac¬cording to the type of work andskill required, and a minimumwage rate is set in each class. Payincreases of 5 cents an hour nor¬mally are recommended for eachyear of successful experience.The system is designed to pro¬mote the efficiency of the workers,equalize the amount of pay for theamount of work accomplished, andoffer the student worker the op¬portunity to learn valuable skillsin connection with his job.WANT A FREE TICKET?Scattered throughout the adver¬tisements of the CHICAGO MAROONwill be found the names of six stu¬dents drawn from the InformationOffice student file at random.

Howe wasrecently appointed executive as¬sistant to Assistant Secretary ofState Wiliam Benton, who wasformerly a vice-president of theUniversity.Probst has been associated withthe radio office since 1939 whenhe graduated from the University.Twenty-eight years old, he is athird generation alumnus of theUniversity of Chicago, his grand¬father obtained his medical de¬gree here and his father a lawdegree.

Seaborg, University ofCalifornia Professor of Chemistry,working at the Metallurgical La¬boratory of the University of Chi¬cago.Dr. Seaborg’s announcement,made last Friday, follows closelythe disclosure this summer thatelements 94, plutonium, of whichhe was a co-discoverer, had beenadded to the known elements in1940 and used in atomic bombmanufacture.He announced discovery of thetwo yet unnamed elements at thefiftieth aniversary technical con¬ference of the Chicago section ofthe American Chemical Society atNorthwestern University.At the same time he also dis¬closed that plutonium, first dis¬covered in the laboratory, has beenfound to exist in minute amountsin a natural state—the first in¬stance in which a man-made ele¬ment was necessary to prove itsexistence in nature. Along withthis disclosure was the announce¬ment of discovery by Dr. Seaborgand a co-worker, Arthur C. Wahl,of neptunium 237, a new isotope ortwin of element 93, neptunium.The newly discovered isotope has ahalf-life of two million years andis therefore relatively stable incomparison with the first knownform, neptunium 239, which has ahalf-life of 2.3 days.Elements 95 and 96 were foundas a result of the bombardment ofuranium 238, the abundant isotopeof uranium, and plutonium 239with high energy helium ions, oralpha particles, of 40 million elec¬tron volts in Professor Ernest Law¬rence’s cyclotron at Berkley, Cal¬ifornia. The chemical identificationstudies were conducted in the Met¬allurgical Laboratory.With the many chemists workingwith him on plutonium at theMetallurgical Laboratory, “A largenumber of compounds of pluton¬ium have been prepared and theirproperties determined, and it isfair to say that the chemistry ofplutonium today is as well under¬stood as, or better understoodthan is that of most of the ele¬ments in the periodic system,” Dr.Seaborg said in his paper.The general conclusions fromwork on plutonium and neptun¬ium are that these two elementsare similar in chemical propertiesto uranium, with an increase instability of the lower oxidationstates in going toward plutonium.Fage 4 THE CHICAGO MAROON Friday; Nov. 23, 1945The Chicago MaroonFounded Oct. 1, 1892The University of Chicago i^iii!Official Student Newspaper1945 ACP All-AmericanPublished everv Friday during the academic year by THE CH^AGOMAROON, an independent student organization of the University of Chicago.Abe Krash, Editor-in-ChiefWard J.

The official reply of theCouncil to Editor Abe Krash’s editorial last week follows in full:The decision of the University to preserve the fraternitysystem at the University of Chicago will, we think, provewise. We are grateful for the administration’s praise of fra¬ternities’ contribution to the University and we accept theinvitation of the university to project fraternity life in accord¬ance with the University’s new program. The loyalty of the fraterni¬ties now, as always, is first to the University and we shall act in com¬plete accord with the University’s policies.We realize the necessity of giving proper supervision to thosewho come into the first two years of the college at a very early age.In permitting fraternities to pledge men in the last two years of thecollege through the winter quarter of 1947 we think the Universityhas been wise for this will permit the fraternities to remain in theCollege framework until the University has had a year and a haltto experiment with the House Plan. Should that time reveal that aplace remains for fraternities in the last two years of the collegeneither the University nor the fraternities will have sustained theloss that would have resulted had the fraternities been limited tothe divisions immediately.We feel that there is a point in a young man’s life when he reachesthe place where he must begin to make his own decisions. This isrecognized by the University, itself, in dropping the supervision ofyoung men in the last two years of the college. This same fact is re¬cognized by the draft policy of the armed services. It is our feelingthat the University is trying to develop self-sufficient, independentstudents, able to hold their own not only scholastically but also tomeet whatever problem life presents. We are inclined to believe thatall youngsters arrive at this age at approximately eighteen—the thirdyear of the college—and that the University does such students noparticular service by guiding them during this third and fourth yearof the college, desirable as this may be during the first two years.Should this prove to be so in the light of experience with the HousePlan it may be that the administration will wish to modify its.rulingwith, reference to fraternities in the third and/or fourth years of thecollege.Should it develop that the Fraternities are to operate at only thedivisional level the type of fraternity life will probably undergochanges of a kind desirable to satisfy the more mature point of viewof its members, and thus the fraternities will still render a valuableservice to campus life. If it eventuates that fraternities will be com¬posed of men of the divisions, supplemented by men of the thirdand/or fourth years of the college, it will be a desirable developmentbecause association with men working for the Masters Degree willbenefit the scholastic work and cultural development of men in thecollege.It may be that the Administration should give thought tothe fact that should fraternities be abolished in the college thelast link with the alumni to the University is severed. At mostother Universities the alumnus maintains a strong contactwith the University through his fraternity, or his class, or hissports affiliation.Of these three strong alumni pulls at Chicago none would remain.The University of Chicago being endowed and not tax supportedhas a particiilar need for alumni financial support. Since the existingtax system means that there will be no more really wealthy men thecontributions to the University will have to come—in part—annuallyfrom many loyal alumni in comparatively small amounts. If the alum¬nus has active connections with the University he is likely to con¬tribute. *From the following we draw no conclusion: The University ofChicago has about 50,000 alumni. Of these about 5,000^—10 per' cent—contribute annually to the University. Dartmouth, which is strongin Fraternities, strong in its Class System, and strong in Sports, receives contributions annually from more than eighty per cent of itsalumni.At the last meeting of the representatives of the Board of Trusteesand the Administration with the Fraternities the point was madeby the University representatives that the present decision of theAdministration was not necessarily final—but rather is subject to re¬vision in the light of the University’s experience with the HousePlan.The Inter-Fraternity Alumni Council at theUniversity of ChicagoThe Inter-Fraternity Council of theUniversity of Chicago The College PressIowa EdiforSees NeedFor UC PlanTechnical training is inadequatefor the modern world the editorof the Iowa State Daily Studentsaid this week in a signed edi¬torial.He urged grounding students in“liberal arts” even in “technologi¬cal” Iowa State.His editorial follows:The statement, “A college shouldturn out students that are morethan just trained technicians,**arrested our attention the otherday.It started us to thinking thatthat fact alone justifies *‘activities”for college students.Iowa State, one of the mostefficient, highly rated technicalinstitutions in the nation, certainlycan start looking in her own frontyard. Have you ever figured howmany of our approximately 4,000students take part in activities?How many students learn to de¬velop and present their own ideasand do it well enough to actuallyconvince an audience?The Iowa State -Debaters, oneactivity which gives a student theopportunity to stand on his owntwo feet, do his own thinking andpresent a case without a severecondition of knockikneetis (symp¬toms of knocking knees) count anaverage of 20 students.. . Publications, the foremost ac¬tivities on campus, draw a hand¬ful of responsible people whenthey need many times their pres¬ent staffs to carry on the workwhich they are inherently capable.The League of Student Opiniondied. We suspect it was not somuch the lack of interest as theinability of the average student onthe Iowa State campus to expresshimself, and his understandablereticence about trying it.The argument that more ac¬tivities are needed to take care ofthe increasing enrollment can’tstand in view of the fact thatpresent activities are under-en¬rolled and the average collegestudent is disinterested.The college needs to give itsstudents much more in liberalbackground. Without the forma¬tion of a fundamental philosophy,the student might as well be arobot turned loose in a worldmade up of human beings. If hehas nothing more than a technicalunderstanding to offer the peoplewith whom he works, he can’thope to be advanced to responsibleexecutive positions. Neither canhe expect to put over the ideashis technical superiority may havefurnished him.Until the college takes steps toremedy thijs, as could be done inmaking such curriculum as en¬gineering a five-year-curriculum,with the first year given to layinga cultural background, activitiesremain the only place where astudent can develop qualities ofleadership.Iowa Staters, if they are to holdthere reputation and respect nowaccorded the school, will have todevelop culturally as well asscientifically. For, though it maybe an easy moral to attach to edi¬torials these days, certainly theseare the times when human intelli¬gence and understanding are need¬ed by more people and to a greaterdegree than they have ever beenneeded before.LETTERS TO THE EDITORLetters to The Editor, a weeklyfeature of The Chicago Marooneditorial pages must not exceed200 words, must be signed, type¬written, and addressed to The Edi¬tor, The Maroon.

What School Do You Qo to? . . .But which of the indispensable readings are required?Letter-Writers RapCommons, MAROONCan you not bring to the at¬tention of the University publicthe very unfortunate misuse of theHutchinson Commons diningroom? This room, which was in¬tended for the use of members ofthe University, is being used in¬creasingly by workmen and busi¬ness people from 55th st., 53rd st.,63rd st., and even by those beyond63rd st. Those who have beenwatching the situation feel thatperhaps one-third of those tooenormous crowds that jam thedining room and make enjoymentof the beautiful room and the ex¬cellent meals impossible, is com¬posed of people who have not now,never have had, and never will,have any connection with this uni¬versity or with any other.Among those noted in the everlengthening lines are small shopdealers from 55th st., beauty par¬lor operators from 53rd st., typistsfrom 63rd st., handy men who doodd jobs in the neighborhood(both white and black) andother jobbers as well as somerecognized laboring men. Sincemany of these people have not theslightest interest in education, andsince all tables seat many persons,university people are constantlydining with those who chance tocome in to take advantage of theconditions that the university hasprovided for its members, and arecut off from the great advantageof meeting other university people.No Right to CommonsIt would seem that these work¬men and business people have nomore right to the use of theCommons than they have to theuse of the Quadrangle Club ifthey found it more to their likingthen the hotels of the neighbor¬hood. Not only are the at¬mosphere and the social possibili¬ties of the Commons spoiled bythe non-university element, butagain and again it has been notedthat university people, discourgedby the long line, have left theCommons and gone elsewhere foia meal, perhaps to the publiccafeterias and new cafes nowopening on near-by business sts.,with the outsiders enjoying theCommons.The whole difficulty could easi¬ly be taken care of by placing aplacard on a standard, by themenu—standard, at the entranceto the cafeteria. This placardcould read:This cafeteria is for the exclu¬sive use of those connected withthe university and their guests.Do not enter unless you have aregistration receipt or can producea library card.Notice to Discourage OutsidersSuch a notice would npt ex¬clude alumni of the university, former faculty members, or visit¬ing faculty members. But it wouldexclude those who are merelyworking in the neighborhood andare pushing university people outof a place which they are entitledto enjoy. With such a placarddisplayed, the manager would bein a position to challenge anyonewho seemed not a legitimate userof the Commons. But many out¬siders and they number in thehundreds, would doubtless be dis¬couraged from coming, as hap¬pened when a similar sign was setup at International House someyears ago.—Written by some bona fideuniversity members.* * *Editor Advocated'Collectivism'In its application of unity, one¬ness of intent and action, as thesolution to the critical problemsfacing us, the MAROON has en¬croached upon the prerogative ofthe individual. Such mass col¬lectivism as is advocated is farindeed from the solution of ourproblems which, in the Americansociety, are resolved through themeeting and interchange of op-possing and contrasting points ofview.Through such a function the fra¬ternity justifies itself. Individualswho share common beliefs are en¬abled to join together with fellowstudents and friends in an organi¬zation in which they can expressthose beliefs. Every fraternitypossesses a different facet of in¬tellectual and social life throughwhich its members, as individuals,find a richer university experi¬ence.In refutation of the charge oftriviality, one has only to observethe spirit animating fraternity lifeto realize that such is not the case.Upon consideration of the“shackles of anti-intellectualism,discrimination, and snobbishness,”which are inferred to be charac¬teristic of fraternities, one findsthroughout the country that fra¬ternity men have higher scholasticaverages than the student bodyas a whole, and that they areknown on the .campuses for theirwide number of friends, and posi¬tions of social and extra-curricu¬lar leadership. It is one of theaims of fraternity life to developsuch attainments of a well-round¬ed person.The salient points constituting,“a crushing indictment againstthe fraternity system everywhere,”as listed by the Editor, would seemto exist only in his mind, for theyiiic not characteristic of the sys¬tem as it exists elsewhere.WILLIAM C.

Philip KirtonHerman Gerald StechlerStreet Urchins Ana de Leonand Helen Auerbachbailor Harvey RossYoung Radical Donald WinksPoliceman David HallPedestrian Mary AleySergeant George WeberBy BETTY STEARNSCompared to last year’s the¬atrical faux pas, The PlayersGuild production of WINTER-SET appears to be at least onestep in the right direction. Thestaging of Mr. Anderson’s po¬etic drama is careful and effec¬tive, and it’s difficult to imaginehow the actors could have cre¬ated any kind of mood withoutit.On the other hand, much awedby the sound of Mr. Anderson’sthird-rate verse, the cast didn’tseem to realize it was playing sure¬fire melodrama with slow-motiontechnique. At best WINTERSET isa long play, and without plenty ofwell timed action we are apt tolapse into a most unfortunate stateof boredom—possibly why neitherthe poetry nor the drama was veryimpressive last Friday night.Frame-up is DetailedMr. Anderson’s poetic rearrange¬ment of the famous Sacco-Vanzetticase is too complicated to give inmuch detail here. It seems that tenyears before the curtain risesTrock Estrella, in the company ofShadow and Garth Esdras, mur¬dered a paymaster. A gentlemannamed Romagna was brought totrial instead of Trock and wassentenced to death by JudgeGaunt. Romagna’s son Mio, con¬vinced that his father was inno¬cent, has spent his life waiting forthe opportunity to prove it. Be¬cause someone has written a pam¬phlet about the trial, and hasasserted that Garth Esdras shouldhave been called as witness, Miohas come to New York to talk to 'Winterset' Is BilledAgain This WeekendWINTERSET will be pre¬sented in Mandel Hall to¬night and Saturday nightunder the auspices of thePlayers Guild. Tickets forMaxwell Anderson’s wellknown poetic drama areavailable at the box-office inthe Mandel Hall corridor.The all student cast, headedby Sylvia Farnham andPhilip Kirton will give itsthird performance tonight at8:30 p.m.Garth. He meets Garth’s sister,Mariamne, and the two fall in love.Mio, Trock, and Gaunt, all hauntedby this case, meet in the Esdrashome. Gaunt’s insistence on hisfairness, and Garth’s fear of tell¬ing the truth distresses Mio. Butwhen Trock finally gives himselfaway, Mio is prevented from tell¬ing the police because Miriamneis afraid her brother will be sentto jail. The ending—well there isno point in spoiling it.Marvin Peisner who directedWINTERSET, and is playing thepart of Judge Gaunt, would prob¬ably have sped up the action of thesecond act considerably had hebeen in a position to watch hisown scenes. I’m afraid I didn'tquite see the point in leaving thestage empty for minutes at a time,although that might be just per¬sonal prejudice.Acting Smooth, not ForcefulOn the whole the acting wassmooth, but not what could betermed forceful. Mr. Peisner cre¬ated a believable and consistentjudge, and regardless of my ob¬jections to his directing, I havenone to make of his excellent char¬acter portrayal. Philip Kirton gotalong rather well with Mio, aftera few stiff moments at first. He hashandled a difficult part convinc¬ingly, and will no doubt improveas he plays it a third and fourthtime. Malcolm Provus as Garthand George Morrison as Esdreswere both a little muddled and onthe undistinguished side, aithoughthey too will feel at ease as theyget more experience. Herbert Baerand Eugene Hutchen who rendered A-Bomb Chief ...WALTER BARTKYWalter Bartky, former actingDean of the Division of the Physi¬cal Sciences and authority onastronomy, mathematics, and prob¬ability, has been appointed Dean,after the resignation of Dr. ArthurHolly Compton. Dean Bartky is aUniversity of Chicago product, andsays happily, “I have been hereall my life,” speaking of the Uni¬versity and of the city of Chicago.He comes from a long line of Chi¬cagoans.The new Institutes of NuclearStudies and Metals will be in theDivision of the Physical Sciencesunder his supervision. ProfessorSamuel K. Allison will be the di¬rector.From Student to Professor at U. C.Bartky received his B. S. herein 1923, and his Ph.D. in 1926.Before receiving his doctorate,(Continued on Page 6)Trock and Shadow with a fineshady quality, had an air of realityabout them that was quite striking.Sylvia Farnham made a sweetMiriamne, but 5he poses morequestions in her conception of thisyoung girl than she answers. Char¬acters reacted to what she said ordidn’t say, but I wasn’t impressedwith the probability. It appearsthat Miramne was underplayed tothe point of meekness, and wasfor that reason at times withoutmotive for what she did.Neur Steals ScenesHerbert Neur, who played thehobo stole a good many of thescenes he was in.

Indi¬vidually, dorms have held meetings and dis¬cussions, elected officers, sponsored dances andrun through a completely success-full, (success being defined byCoach J. Kyle Anderson as pleas¬ure derived), football season.Initiating a new phase in thedormitory system, Dean Law¬rence A. Kimpton will visit Bur¬ton-Judson Court to teach a greatbooks course. Together with Mr.Wilkinson, head of the 700 entry,and Kimpton’s associate in a greatbooks course taught at the Uni¬versity College, he presented Pla¬to’s Crito and Apology in the firstclass Tuesday evening.The couse is being taught at therequest of a group of students inthe dormitory, who are asking forcloser contact between faculty andstudents and for further stimula¬tion of intellectual life within thedormitory. The class will continueon Tuesdays at 7:30 P.M. in theBurton Library throughout theFall and Winter quarters.Meanwhile, its0 men’s houseshave electa^ fheir officers forthe quarter:Dodd: president, Walt Shirley; vice-(Continued on Page 8) Ellen BaumThe TravelingBazaar...That Fountain AgainSome time in September three or four public spirited youngdamsels began to lay plans for something new, something dif¬ferent, which would involve great labor on the part of B. & G.In deep secrecy they collected boxes of jello, gelatin, and any¬thing else that would jell and laid them aside for the com¬ing of cold weather. They also made a goodly collection ofkettles, suitable for the transport of large quantities of boilingwater. In short, they planned to make a vast jello mold in theHutchinson Court fountain. Somehow their scheme becameknown to various and sundry groups on campus who tookup the idea energetically and in turn collected jello them¬selves. The idea became so popular and widespread (eachgroup, of course, believing itself sole originator) that theother day one of the original founders was asked, “Wouldn’tit be a wonderful idea to fill up the fountain and Botany Pondwith jello?’’ And now the latest rumor is that the Nu Pi’sare planning to serve up the jello with whipped cream in theCommons.* * *Social LifeWe report sadly that IF Ball was not quite official this year—there was no Sigma cocktail party before or after the dance. . . .Another era ended? Beecher and Green threw open house Sundayand reportedly snared several new men. , . . Most of the elder brothersof Psi U missed their own hayride last Friday—apparently theywere detained at the hospital; however, their absence was madeup for by guests, King and Drennan. Afterwards, Dorothy Clappand Duval Jaros outdid themselves polkaing and square dancing.. . . The ordinarily staid Art Club got itself in an auto accident theother day—too much tea?* « *Is Boyer Passe?The 9th floor of Int. House (strictly female) furnishes us with anamusing story, doubtless typical of the times. It seems one of ourusually reliable informants had been playing bridge until the latehours; about two, as she was returning to her 11th floor domicile,clad in not much more than a slip and blouse (the latter thrownover her shoulders), she ran into a debonair young man in browntweeds sauntering blithely up the stairs. She fled and, presently re¬covering from the shock, she ventured over to the john. As she wasbrushing her teeth, she got that peculiar feeling of someone staring ather. She turned and saw nothing except that one of the john doorswas closed. She tiptoed over, pushed the door, and, lo, it was locked.Frantically she peered under the door—no feet! Panic-stricken sheran out and just as she went out she looked back—and there, peer¬ing over the door, was a pair of flashing masculine eyes. Are we togather that bedroom eyes, as exemplified by M. Boyer, are being re¬placed by bathroom eyes?, * ♦ ♦Around CampusPeople are still picking leaflets campaigning for P. J. Murpheyas Miss U. of C. out of the nooks and crannies of Lying-In. The planechartered to drop them on campus strewed a magnificient total of15 on campus and the rest fell on Lyin-In. Carol Gray had a won¬derful (she says) visit in Norfolk with Jim McGiffin, Judy Heldand Earl Isbell are engaged. P. J. Murphey Was just pinned to DonMcBride. Sigma had a tea at Dorothy Duft Johnson’s Sunday; in¬cidentally, Sigma celebrated its fifteenth anniversary this year.Danseuse Manning IsProducing ResultsWhen Alan Lake Chidsey, Assistant Dean of Students, proposedan all-student night club, he got an enthusiastic supporter in the Uni¬versity’s modern dance director, Katherine Manning.Coming from the professionalworld herself. Miss Manning isnaturally excited about the pos¬sibilities of an outlet for her tal¬ented dancers. For the night club,Coach Er vin Beyer, who has beenconducting classes in acrobaticsand adagio, and Miss Manningwould combine techniques andwork on an act for the floor show.As a youngster, Miss Manninghad the opportunity to work withthe famous dancing group of RuthSt. Denis in New York. Actually,her formal training was slight; shewas doing interpretive dancing be¬fore anything known as such ex¬isted as an established form of thedance. Miss Manning was withCharles Widiman and Doris Hum¬phreys when they broke awayfrom the St. Denis-Shaw methodto form the first specific “moderndance” group.“They only wanted me as aguinea pig to try out their newexperiments,” confided Miss Man¬ning. She was, however, their pre¬ miere danseuse, and remained thatfor the thirteen years she was withthem.After that came summers whichwere “Cook's tours” of Americanuniversities. A Skidmore graduateherself, Miss Manning has sincetaught at Michigan University,Louisiana State University, andTemple. Dancing in festivals atboth Mills College in Oakland andBennington in Vermont, she final¬ly camped midway between thetwo on the Chicago campus.Since 1939, when Miss Manningbegan teaching here, she has seenthe modern dance group grow insize as well as importance.“What I would like to see is acombination of the facilities of thedance, drama, and music depart¬ments to produce something thatwould be really worthwhile,” MissManning said. “Teaching the girlshow to dance is almost like teach¬ing a young colt how to run. But,frankly, 1 love it.”Plan Annual HereStudents interested in servingon the staff of a proposed annualare urged to attend a meeting onTuesday, November 27, at 3:30p.m. in Room 205 of the ReynoldsClub.

It was the same Bill Leach,a major with the 101st Air BorneDivision, who parachuted intoNormandy on D-Day and laterfought in the battle of Bastogne.On April 13, 1945, Major Leachwas killed in action on a volunteermission crossing the Rhine with anintelligence patrol.Recently a number of Big Tenschools have been agitating for areturn of the freshman ineligibilityrule under which no freshman ispermitted to participate in inter¬collegiate athletics. The issue hasbecome hot enough to rank as oneof the main topics of discussion atthe forthcoming Big Ten WinterAthletic Meeting. If the opinion ofJ. Kyle Anderson, assistant athle¬tic director, represents the attitudeof the University, Chicago can becounted on to vote against re¬voking the present rule until atleast July 1, 1946. Coach Andersonfears the confusion that would re¬sult from a mid-year change of therules.

No soonerdid the football season end thanbasketball began. Table-tennis andswimming tournaments are sched¬uled for the next couple of weeks;other activities are to be an¬nounced later. The University’semphasis on athletics for the sakeof the participants has becomemore than mere lip-service. The entire student body willassemble in the circle of the Quad¬rangles on Friday, November 30at 8 p.m., for a huge pep rally andbonfire. This rally will be spon¬sored by the Student AthleticPromotion committee to celebratethe opening of the basketball sea¬son the following night, Decem¬ber KFor the first time this year theband, under the direction of ArpadElo will perform.

It’s not be¬cause they are expecting a cham¬pionship or anything very closeto it; it’s just that they have whatall coaches dream of, a team withspirit and a powerful liking forthe game.Twenty-six Men OutTwenty-six men are workingout every afternoon under the abledirection of Coaches Norgren andAnderson. Although there areonly four returning lettermen:Fred DeGraw, George Raby, JohnSharp and Almond Lilien, theteam is strengthened by the heightof Steve Ellison, the accuracy ofRay Freeark and Wallis Riley,and the speed of Lowell Walkerand Fred King.

Through cus¬tom and convention Nu Pi ceased being anacademic honorary years* ago.The group’s change, however, from a purelyacademic honor to a forum was one that both¬ered nobody. Even after the change there werenever found in Nu Pi the ugly racial and re¬ligious prejudices prevailing in many of thesocial clubs. Election was determined byleadership in the more important social andservice organizations and was not restrictedto those who were merely white, gentile, andaffiliated with a club. In short, Nu Pi was re¬spected and supported by the student bodybecause it represented intelligent student'opinion from all sections of the campus.In the past two or three years, liowever, ourSenior Women’s Honorary has been under¬going another change which is turning theorganization, as one member put it the other day, into nothing more than an exclusive sup¬per club. The strong leadership that was oncethe hallmark of Nu Pi is now practically non¬existent. The individual members themselvesare still sincere, intelligent girls, but no morethan three or four of them can, by any stretchof the imagination, be called student leaders.Time was when Nu Pi meetings were forumsfor the discussion* of important student prob¬lems. Nowadays the members sit around andwonder vaguely what can be done about‘ school spirit.” Formerly the Nu Pi well un¬derstood that “school spirit” Js something thatis never lacking on any college campus, butthat purpose and direction for this “spirit”were frequently absent. They also understoodthat the traditional function of their organi¬zation was ta provide this purpose and direc¬tion. And provide it they did because they hadthe respect of the campus ati large.Today not one student in tlen has ever heardof a Senior Women’s Honorary, and this is notbecause Nu Pi has maintained its tradition ofcareful avoidance of all publicity, but simplybecause it has had nothing significant to offerthe campus. It’s about time the good ladies setabout re-organizing their group.HAS FOOTBALL LOST ITS KICK?.
