His lec¬ture will continue through thespring quarter.Dr. Riesz came to the U. S. amonth ago to attend the Prince¬ton Bicentennial Celebration. Hewill return to Europe this summerupon the completion of his lec-playing her first big part in a tures. The dormitory, hybrid combina¬tion of former army barracks, wasbuilt by federal engineers and fi¬nanced almost entirely by FPHAfunds. Chicago’s stringent zoninglaws were waived to allow con¬struction of the temporary struc¬tures. Permission to build wasgranted with the condition thatthey will be torn down within threeyears after construction.Manly house is a two-story con¬struction designed to accommodate100 men. Fifty of these sharedouble rooms and thC rest are insingles.Robert Bailey, house-head, saidtoday in a report of the recreationprogram developing for the men,that a basketball team has beenformed for competition in “anyleague which will meet us,” aphonograph has been installed inthe large lounge, and dance plansare being made.Bailey said that the majority ofthe men changed from Burton-Judson apartments for one of threereasons. (1) Less expensive, (2)less horseplay, and (3) more com¬panionship among fellows of thesame background and approximateage. These advantages seem tooutweigh the added luxury andconvenience of the regular courts. Five PartiesContend ForCampusYoteToday the Student Politi¬cal Union, defunct since pre¬war days, will be revived witha campus-wide election opento all U of C students.Seventy-five seats in a newstudent parliament are to befilled on the basis of today’s vote.Representation will be distributedamong the five participatingparties according to the* propor¬tion ‘of the campus vote receivedby each. Voting will be not forindividuals or specific issues, butby parties.The only requirement for* voting is the possession ofthe current campus identifi¬cation card. Polling placeswill be open in Ida Noyes 9a.m.-7:30 p.m.; at Cobb Hall9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; in theMandel hall corridor 7:15a.m.-7:30 p.m.; and in Bur¬ton-Judson 11:30 a.m.-l:30p.m. and 5:15 p.m.-7 p.m.Contending parties are VirorldFederalist, Progressive, Labor,Socialist and Conservative. WorldFederalists stand for world gov¬ernment. with the same issue be¬ing a feature of a Progressiveplatform which also advocates aSocialist-New policy. The Laborparty stands immediately for fullsupport of the trade union move¬ment and ultimately for a world-socialist society; the Socialists,another leftist group, representthe Young People’s SocialistLeague; and the Conservatives,a large number of whom aremembers of the Young Republi¬cans Club, have adopted the plat¬form of the YRC.Once the seating arrange¬ment has been determined onthe basis of today’s electionreturns, the assembly will beconducted as a regular gov¬ernmental body and will con¬sider and debate nationalissues. Its primary purposewill be to create a permanentsymposium where many di¬verse political opinions maybe discussed.Writing CroupSponsored HereBy Milton HindusA creative writing group hasbeen organized on campus underthe sponsorship of Milton Hindus,visiting professor in Humanities.Interested students met last quar¬ter to discuss such a group andit^ was formally organized at ameeting Monday, January 13.

Parkway.Douglas, a negro patriot, roseto fame during the Civil War.when he escaped from slavery andfled to New York, where he found¬ed the paper. North Star. Hechose this name because slaves,escaping through the southernswamps at night had long usedthe star as a moral and physicalguide post. His paper was intru-mental in obtaining fund to helprun the “underground railway”for ecaping slaves. Douglas also jworked hard after the Civil War Ito help improve the conditions iand standards of negro life. |The Anniversary Dance willfeature the “Deltas of Rhythm”and a floor show. All concessions,including the bar privileges willbe run by the two vet organiza¬tions and proceeds will be dividedequally between them. Tickets arenow on sale in the AVC office,(Rm 302, Reynolds Club) or withany members of the financial oiexecutive committeeFrancis Gaskell reports thatthe Christmas Carols, played dur¬ing the holidays by the SchwartzDrug Store, were enjoyed andheard plainly at his farm home3^2 miles southeast of East Troy.For sale: one hearing aid, cheap. BazaarBack from a short bout with an infected gland, the ugly prospectof summing up the trivia of the week presents a little problem tl)isweek; not having been around lately, I really have only a very hazyidea of what’s been occupying the time and minds of any and every,one.' First off, let’s pick up the loose ends of vacation time and go overthe news last week’s editors were unable to decipher from my notes.In addition to all the other holiday parties, the Tau Sigs gottogether for dinner at Gibby’s and the ballet, and a “slumber party’’at Ellen Bransky’s . . . the latter being restful in name only. OtherTau Sig news missed last week was the engagement of Paula Oppen-heim to Phi Sig Ed Lowenstern (this makes the sixth Tau Sig-Phi Sigcouple) and the marriage of Pat Delson to Jack Franck last Sunday.With the Christmas parties, weddings, engagements, pinnings,etc., etc., out of the way, there isn’t much else to write a^ut . . [but write we must . . .so write we will. In capsule form, the itemsof the week seem to add up to an entering class hardly large enoughto notice, a C-dance, a Phi Gam cocktail party (probably others),minor rushing activities, and not much else. But that’s not nearlyenough to fill our allotted space, so let’s rip open the capsule andpad the story a bit.Anent the entering class: ’Tis traditional to look the field overand, after due consideration, point out a few of the more “promising”. . . whatever that might be. At any rate. Bazaar has heard mostfavorable things about Marvin Weissman, John Bost, Ralph Ansbach,and a lad named Scanlon ... we hear there were a few women inthe class but as yet haven’t discovered their hideaway.The C-dance is pretty well covered in Blithe and Brittle ... nomention is made, however, of the post dance gathering at the Beehive.The Beehive, in case you haven’t yet discovered this particular den ofiniquity, is a local nightspot replete with murderous music, foul focKl,and lousy liquids. Star attraction is a duck (you heard me) that, notunlike a mama doll, makes noise when pinched . . . i.e. quack-quack.At that, it’s decidedly more melodious than the music .(Tl)is is not apaid commercial.) Not quite so noisy was the Phi Gam cocktail partybefore the dance ... or so say Bill Lowery and Joan Beckman, JimRitchie and Rita Blumenthal, and Duane Cozart and Dottie who werethere.The Psi U’s are planning a slightly different party for next Sat¬urday with a buffet dinner before the basketball game and a paityafter. Let’s hope the turn-out at the game is better than at thelast one, excusable because of the weather, I suppose.Interclub Ball should be bigger and better than ever this year.One of the three important formal dances of the year, it’s scheduledfor the twenty-fourth at the Saddle and Cycle Club (nice!). Note toEsoterics: you’re urged to get your bids from Ellen Bransky.PLUG ... for the bridge tournament sponsored by the newStudent Union. Winners go to the National Collegiate Tournament(not far . . . it’s in Chicago) with all expenses paid. The playoff herewill be on the twenty-ninth and thirtieth. Come on sharks ... getin there and fight.Only item under department of vital statistics this week i.s thenew -born boy of Mary-Lou and Dave Comstock.

Radio Center nREx«l6111Friday, January 17, 1947 THE CHICAGO MAROON Page SSale Of Actiyity BooksSlower Than AntScipatedBy JACK SIEGALDespite a promising beginning, sales of Student Asso¬ciation activity books have bogged down according to TomRemington. Though hope is held that sales will pick upwith the approach of the Washington Prom next month,the current shewing is disappointing.It was expected that member¬ship would exceed that of lastquarter, but if the present trendpersists it is likely that the totalwill fall considerably short of theAutumn figure of 1,600.The various booths throughoutthe campus have been closed andhenceforth the booklets will beon sale only at the informationdesk.Just why sales have not beenup to expectations seems hard toimagine. With an admission priceof $2.00 and a name band prom¬ised for the Prom, the bookletrepresents a better investmentthan ever. In addition the longawaited “University Observer,” amagazine of political opinion, willput in an appearance this quarterand is included in the activitiesrepresented. Attendance at the“C" dances indicates that inter¬est in these affairs is high andyet long lines of people waitingto pay their way in show thatrelatively few have taken advan¬tage of the free admission accord¬ed to book-holders.The Student Association willhold its regular quarterly meetingat 2:30 next Wednesday afternoon,January 22 in the South Loungeof the Reynolds Club. All mem¬bers are urged to attend since theprogram for the quarter will beworked out at that time.UNIVERSITY RADIO GROUPREORGANIZES JANUARY 22The University Radio Club, in¬active since 1942, will reorganzeat a meeting to be held at 4:45,January 22, in 207 Eckhart. Thegroup will consist of persons in¬terested in amateur radio.Before becoming inactive, theclub operated a station, Y9YW-Q,which was located at Ryerson.This station is still being used byArgonne Laboratories, but it ishoped that it may be relocatedand used again by the group.The Divisional comprehensiveexamination in the Social Sci¬ences has just been scheduledfor the Spring Quarter, 1947.Registration may be made be¬fore April 15 in Lexington 5. A VC Winter PlansOutlined At Meet,Tea Dance SundayAt the quietest and shortestmeeting of the school year, thecampus American Veterans Com¬mittee, last Wednesday nightoutlined their program for thewinter quarter.First, and unanimously adoptedproject, was the establishment ofa tenants league to participatein price and rent control demon¬strations, bargain collectively forstudent tenants, and participatein national programs on rentcontrol when rent legislation isbefore Congress.Another motion favoring theestablishment of a program toaid in current drives to aid for¬eign, war-tom schools was alsounanimously adopted. Subse¬quently, a special committeeheaded by Dr. Albert Cole wasappointed to investigate andrecommend a specific relief pro¬gram to the members.A double barreled financialcampaign was also outlined formember participation. First sec¬tion of the drive is the co¬sponsorship of the Inter-racialdance with United Negro and Al¬lied Veterans of America onFebruary 1. The second phase ofthe drive is to have members do¬nate blood to the Micheal* ReeseBlood Bank for subsequent useby Veterans Administrationhospitals. At the same time, theAVC treasury will receive the$5.00 per pint which blood don¬ors ordinarily receive at thisblood bank. All interested mem¬bers are urged to register fordonations in the next two weeksat the AVC office.The meeting closed with anannouncement of a tea dance tobe held this Sunday, January 19,at Ida Noyes under the sponsor¬ship of Foster house, and AVC.Refreshments will be served dur¬ing the dance hours, (3-6 p.m.),by the AVCA. Tickets will Ce onsale at the door at 25 cents. FROM THE DEAN'S OFFICEAnnouncement was madethis week by the Dean of Stu¬dent’s Office that applicationsare now being accepted by theRussian Student Fund, Inc. ofNew York City for annualstudent aid funds to studentshaving had at least a year ofcollege training and are ofRussian origin.Interested students may con¬tact the Dean’s office for fur¬ther information. Chicago City PlanEssential'MerriamBy'E. E. LYNNChicago is in dire need of a comprehensive plan tore-vamp its archaic transportation system, provide parkingspace for the ever-increasing traffic load, and remove the23 square miles of “blighted” slum dwellings which are sodetrimental to the city’s health, its wealth, and its pride.Student Feds To PresentTalk By St. John's HeadStringfellow Barr, president of St. John’s college, An¬napolis, Maryland, will speak in Social Science 122, January23, on “The Tragic Pattern of World Community.” He ison a leave of absence from St. John’s and is being sponsoredon this campus by the Student Federalists.Under Barr’s guidance St.John’s has adopted the greatbooks as the core of its curricu¬lum. He is expected to establisha new college using the greatbooks principle at Pittsfield,Massachusetts sometime in 1948.While in Chicago, Barr will joinwith Robert M. Hutchins andMortimer Adler on the commit¬tee to frame a world constitution.At the meeting Tuesday eve¬ning SF elected James Compton,president and Anne Russell, vice-president. The Federalists electedto the board of control Art Co¬heir, Harris Wofford, AlexanderPope, William Birenbaum,Michael Daniels, Leland Fererand Gordon Carruth. A new pro¬gram of lectures and round tablediscussions on the problems ofworld government was adoptedTuesday. The first discussion willbe on the eighth book of Plato’sRepublic.A resolution was passed statingthat SF would not officially sup¬port any of the parties in theforthcoming SPU election, and amotion to effect a merger of theWorld Federalist party with theProgressive party was defeated.Everybody rides in automobiles or airplanes, plays poker,shoots craps, drinks cocktails,gets pscyhoanalyzed and blamesthe high cost of living on theRepublicans.

This is to an¬nounce that the Beta partywill absolutely be held on Sat¬urday, January 25. Excuse us,please. This was the message that BobMerriam, independent candidatefor Alderman of the 5th ward,brought to members of the BetaTheta Pi fraternity last Mondayevening in an informal discussionof Chicago’s city government.Suggestions for City PlanPredisposed to city planningthrough his education here in Pub¬lic Administration (class of ’39)and his work for many national,state and local housing authori¬ties, Merriam contended that thefuture of Chicago depended uponsome thorough going plan whichwould have to be put into effectimmediately. This plan would in¬clude the eventual re-location ofnuisance industries (i.e. the stock-yards, railroad terminals, etc.), theelimination of the elevated trains,provision for acres of additionalparking space in the loop area,and other specific reforms de¬signed to make Chicago a morepleasant place in which to live.“No member of the presentcity council is qualified by ex¬perience or training to do thiswork,” Merriam said. “That isone of the main reasons whyI am running for the office.”Supported for the office on anindependent ticket by the “Inde¬pendent Committee for Merriam,”which includes Paul Douglas,Walter Johnson, and other wellknown 5th ward independents andindependent groups. He is also be¬ing supported by the ward Demo¬cratic organization. The “CampusComimttee for Merriam” here atthe University is working handin glove with the IndependentCommittee in an effort to get outthe 5th ward vote and win sup¬port for the candidate among thefaculty and student body.Bob Stierer, chairman of thestudent committee, announcedthat his organization was gettingwell under way in its share of thecampaign work. Bob Wallace hasbeen appointed Chairman of theprecinct canvassing committee andhas announced that volunteerworkers may get in touch withhim at the committee office.The committee has its office onthe third floor of the Reynoldsclub from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.,Mondays through Fridays.ONE-DAY TYPING COURSEAn Intensive Course in Typing for Personal UseCompleted in ONE Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Course Given Every Saturday, BEGINNING JANUARY 18To meet the needs of college students and business and professional people whowish to typewrite for school use or personal use, The Gregg College offers thisunusual course in personal-use typing which covers, in one day, the completealphabet (touch system) and speed practice up to 30 or more words in one minute.The average spe^ attained in the one day by all pupils who have taken thiscourse is isyi words in one minute; the best speed is 34 words in one minute.'tuition and SUPPLIES, $6Registar by mail or in person ot least one day in advance.THE GREGG COLLEGE6 North Michigan Ave. • Chicago 2, III. • Telophone: StoiC 1881wwJSSiwWhy Not Studv inMEXICO?Mexico City College — Approved under Gl Bill ofRights.

At central registration, no onehawked the Association’s booklets. When sales eventuallygot off to a belated start the second week of the quarter,purchasers were few. To date only 500 Winter quarter SAbooks have been validated.Without doubt there are several reasons for thisdownward plummet in Association membership. Poorquality of some of the offerings under SA is a factor. In¬accessibility of student publications to association mem¬bers last quarter, is another. Others could be pointed out.But the main thing — the immediate and easily-remedied cause of most of the deficit — is the simple factthat no books were available at central registration — oranywhere, for that matter, the first week of the quarter.The logical time for the sale of the book is the openingof the term. The logical place is central registration. Anddespite the already voluminous number of coupons thestudent must now fill out in registering, it is plain themost efficient method of handling SA memberships is theaddition of a membership card to the registration forms.Such action would, without making the books com¬pulsory, lend some aura of official University support tothe Association. It would mean the Bursar’s office wouldhandle the collection of money on ticket sales. The volun¬teer students now handling this work, no matter how well-intentioned, plainly cannot perform the task with theefficiency and dispatch which might be expected from Mr.Cotton’s office.In light of these facts, and the crippled condition inwhich SA now finds itself, the Administration should seri¬ously consider taking over this function next quarter, beforeit is too late and the Student Association passes into thelimbo of forgotten plans that were good ideas but “didn’twork.”GET Cissie Liebshutx' Portfolio of Cartoons ot any localbookstore 75 cents The Editor's Mailbox' (Increasing numbers of letters from tts readers, ofincreasing length, force the MAROON to redefine its policywith regard to this column. In the future letters must berestricted to 350 words Longer letters will either (a) beedited, or (b) where this is impracticable, not be published.''Perhaps . . . the U. of C. Is Dead''Aljraham Lincoln said, '^Education is the most important businesswe as a people can be encased in.” Robert Maynard Hutchins nowproclaims that, ”We have to educate everybody, of every ase, at homeand abroad.” If all American institutions of higher learning were toagree with and act according to the statements quoted, Mr. JohnSnyder would not have had to report to the President of the UnitedStates that, ”What we require is a searching examination of the func¬tion of all education above the high school level ...”Many would-be students, denied admission to the U. of C., wonderif Mr. Hutchins is merely giving lip service to some agreeable plati¬tudes or whether he has no power to influence the policy of the organ¬ization of which he is chancellor. Mr. Hutchins has cussociated himselfwith the Encyclopedia Britannica in the hope of spreading adulteducation on a mass basis. Has he overlooked the University as aninstrument for that purpose? The Chancellor confidently expects 15million people to be studying the great books within five years. I doubtthat this will change the American way of life. This week 80 millionpeople will go to the movies, today over 1 million people will buy (manymore read) a publication which modestly admits being the ‘‘World’sGreatest Newspaper.” But this year there are over two million stu¬dents in colleges and universities across the land. Many more areturned away because ‘‘there is no room.” Are those in school receivingthe education they seek? Why cannot we accommodate all who wishan education?President Colwell, in his speech to the Board of Trustees, statedthat the paramount obligation of the University is “to the perform¬ance of research and the education of the next generation of researchworkers.” Here is a frank disavowal of responsibility in the problemwhich Mr. Hutchins has posed: that of educating everybody. PresidentColwell rightly points out that, “The State increasingly recognizes itsduty to educate for citizenship.” Why should not the U. of C. recog¬nize that duty?Most of us agree that the government owes its citizen soldiersan adequate education. If the state admits its debt why cannot theU. of C.? But Mr. Colwell says, “We as an institution bear an especialresponsibility for quality in research and graduate work. The floodof students today is a threat to that quality.” And so the answer isto say to the G.I., “We could give you a better,education if there werefewer of you.” Is this then the program of the U. of C. in a Pv;riodwhich is challenging for the first time the American educationalsystem to provide equality of opportunity for all? If so then it hasabdicated its leadership and is destined to exist apart from and notas a part of a changing nation.I It is significantly reported that the “largest increase in .studentI enrollment is in the division of social sciences. Many of these studentsI hope to find . . . the means to a prevention of the catastrophe out' of which they come to school today.” As a student in that divisionII can confirm Mr. Colwell’s statement. But I must add that many ofmy classmates are sorely disappointed in the kind of education towhich they are being exposed. Some react by losing interest and feel¬ing they are getting nothing from their experiences here. Othersadjust and are stamped into the pattern of social science researchwwkers, interested in the method but not in the social problem.‘Undoubtedly there are those who seek training in research; but thencare others w'ho came here seeking answers to burning questions ofgi-eat moment. They are the ones who have been startled out ofcomplacency by the events. They are sorely disappointed in theUniversity and its classroom approach to the problems of the day.Mr. Hutchios says we have no real problems. Perhaps he is rightI and the U. of C. is dead. I hope he is wrong and that it begins tothink of itself as a responsible member of the community sharingj its problems as well as its good fortune. Bernard I. Miller.I "We Refuse fo . . . Submerge Our Identity"I Last week Curt Crawford attacked the World Federalist Partyin the SPU as “greatly damaging the world government movement,”and, somewhat excitedly, urged the withdrawal of the Federalist plat¬form and merger with the Progressive party. It was an election-evemessage, ringing with tones of doom-to-come if not followed.' If the SPU were in any sense a government, Curt’s advice wouldhave considerable weight, but the SPU, Chicago’s political outlet, isto be a model debating assembly. Since its value is educational, ma¬jorities are .not important; fair representation of all significant view¬points is the goal. The Conservative league will have its representa¬tives, the Socialists will have theirs, the Progressives theirs. WeFederalists believe that on this campus where the atomic bomb waspartly born, it is important that those who stand first and foremostfor a free and united world community—a new, different and chal¬lenging viewpoint—should have direct representation in the SPU.It is hard to see how the outcome can seriously damage the“whole world government.” Internationalists and liberals around thecountry would only hear of the results in the case of a strong Federalistshowing, which would help make world government an issue every¬where. If they had no party. Federalists would be the only majorcampus group with a political viewpoint without SPU representation.Curt’s “salvation” for Federalists is for us to vote the Progressiveticket because it includes a world government plank, although heomitted saying that the Socialists also support world government.Everyone at UC, after all, is “progressive,” In its attempt to includeeveryone the Progressive party has already formed a broad allianceof all those on the Left, excepting American Socialists and Trotskyites.This is a feat national liberals, with the real responsibility of electinga government, have failed to accomplish. The Progressive party iscertainly to be congratulated on its success in drawing these diversegroups into its “United Front”—even an incipient Prohibition partymerged with it on inclusion of an anti-alcohol plank.Federalists do not hold this all-inclusiveness to be a substantialreason for becoming one small faction in such a “United Front.”Federalists want to work directly in the SPU for their goal of a non-totalitarian world community. They expect to work closely with theProgressive party on domestic policy, and to lead the way toward aworld government foreign policy.Federalists are saying something new: that from now until theworld is united the major political division must be between those whowork for a free world cbmmunity and those who indifferently acceptworld anarchy. We believe nationalism to be our greatest enemy, onewhich prevents us from effectively solving social and economic prob¬lems. We think our ONE WORLD requires Hugo’s “party of civiliza¬tion,” and that here at Chicago we have a chance to raise that stand¬ard. We refuse to keep silent, and submerge our identity for the dubi¬ous gain of being on the side of the victors.

Horan pil¬loried The Chicago Maroon andcharged in effect that the studentnewspaper is badly biased, jour¬nalistically incompetent, and un¬representative of the “lofty tradi¬tion and purpose of the univer¬sity.” This is not the first timethat such shafts have been hurledat the Maroon by a fellow publi¬cation, nor is it we suspect thelast. It is to be profoundly regret¬ted however that the Pulse criti¬que is simply a restatement of thepopular tirade against the Maroon,adorned with a smattering of gen¬eralities drawn from the news¬paper craft.Even the most cursory observ¬ers, ignorant though they may beof the nuances of journalism, areaware that the Maroon is imbal¬anced as to its content and in¬ferior as to its makeup. But theobservation does not answer orpose the fundamental questionswhich are essentially threefold:(1) Why is the student news¬paper at the University ofChicago relatively infe¬rior to the allegedly greatuniversity newspapers ofAmerica?<2) Should the standard ofexcellence as authorHoran Implies be that ofblue-ribbon winning jour¬nals at other universitiesor should the studentnewspaper at the Univer-of Chicago seek to pioneera new standard?(3) What positive means areavailable within the con¬text of the philosophy of |the university for devel¬oping such a publication?73ie answer to the first query jis manifestly quite simple. For |many years following its incep¬tion half a century ago the Maroonwa.s one of the elite of Americanviniversity newspai>ers. Its alumniinclude such distinguished jour¬ nalistic notables as correspondentsJohn Gunther, Vincent Sheean,and Frederick Kuh; columnists ofthe caliber of Howard VincentO’Brien and Charles Collins. Har¬old Ickes, the monolithic curmud¬geon, was one of its first editors.The decline' has been under wayfor more then a decade. The newcollege plan with its obliterationof the class-structure and the pro-nunciamentoes of Chancellor Rob¬ert M. Hutchins fundamentallytransformed student activities.This change was most sharply in¬dicated in the general position ofthe university toward student ac¬tivities which shifted from one ofactive interest to one of passiveindifference. The war simply ac¬celerated that decline.At the same time the universityabolished the profit-motive in pub¬lications. The semi-professionalstudent talent who could oncejustify their expenditure of timeand effort on a student news¬paper because it provided thefunds for the continuance of theireducation were left adrift. And asAuthor Horan points out the uni¬versity has no journalism schoolwhich elsewhere siphons a stream’ of at least technically proficienttalent onto the staffs of under-' graduate publications. Finally thej Maroon has no plant of its owni since the University Press is notj available to undergraduate publi¬cations.It is significant that noneof the allegedly “great” col¬lege newspapers of America—those at Minnesota, Michigan,Columbia, and Harvard —operate without either or botha journalism school and aprofit system.Even more essentially it may beasked whether these newspapersprovide the standard which theMaroon should seek to emulate.Admittedly they represent the bestin contemporary college journal-FINE MEN’S WEARat P^sj'jced Prices!JackHsWool Sport Shirt#SweatersOvercoatsSlacksFinger-Tip CoatsKohesMufflersClove Setsleisure CoatsHatsCuggage'VHO S GOING TO WIN?l-isfen to Jimmy Evans'Sports Hi-Litas.

Conventional edu¬cation is dead at Chicago; theconventional conception of stu¬dent activities and therefore of astudent newspaper must also per-I ish.I At the moment the Maroon isin a state of flux. It is urgentthat its editor and its staff con¬front the basic issues. A news¬paper cannot be content withsimply publishing the news. Ad¬mittedly the Maroon still does not“blanket” the campus. But even; more importantly it must chal-j lenge its reading public with in-I telligent and positive comment onI important issues confronting theI student both as a member of theI university community and as aI citizen. The Maroon has been no-I toriously lax in failing to probeand to comment on such questionsas campus housing and the resi¬dence system, the curriculum,campus political organizations, therole of the student in contempo¬rary affairs, the badly misman¬aged orientation program, the re-iation of student and faculty, andsimilar issues. A concern withtriviality and frivolity has no moreplace in a newspaper then in auniversity.In addition of course the Maroonmust seek to enhance its criticaldepartments. One hallmark of agreat newspaper is its commentand emphasis on music, the thea¬ter, new books, and the arts ingeneral. A revitalization of thesedepartments is long overdue.But editors, a pragmatic lot,want answers to their prob¬lems. Concerning the forego¬ing to be the purpose of theMaroon the most stubbornquestion is still one of means.Author Horan believes thattalent for a good newspaper islacking on the Quadrangles.The contention is certainlyopen to dispute. The difficultyis not that top-flight perform¬ers are lacking but that theyare unwilling or are unable tolabor for the Maroon. Thelogic of the situation is a vici¬ous circle. A good newspaperrequires a good staff. Butgood staffmen are not attract-1131-1133 E. 55th St.COMPLETE SELECTIONOF BEVERAGES Last 'New Yearns Eve , ..Sure, do you care if Dr. Bundesen says 1 could getpneumonia?

But that is far from sayingthat a much better newspaperplaying a significant and vitalrole in the campus scheme ofthings cannot be produced. 300 BritannicasGiven UNESCOFor DistributionAs a result of a letter writtenby Chancellor Hutchins to Archi-An active recruitment campaignfor new talent by the Maroonwould,seem to be in order. Execu¬tive positions should be offered onthe basis of merit, rather thenaffiliation with a particular organ¬ization. A training school underprofessional tutelage might be ofhelp. Other universities, awarethat technically proficieent jour¬nalists are professionals, have em¬ployed one or two trained journal¬ists to administer the technicaloperating details of the paper,leaving writing and policy forma¬tion to the students. I do not en¬dorse such a policy, but it isworthy of investigation. Some sys¬tem of reward or incentive is alsobadly needed, though a policy offinancial remuneration would notbe in consonance with the spiritand tone which the universityhopes to instill in student activi¬ties. If it is unjustifiable to sub¬sidize football players, it is equallyindefensible to pay publicationmembers unless the newspaper isno longer regarded as a studentactivity but as an indispensableservice and an integral unit ofthe general purpose of the uni¬versity. In any event the end ofa good newspaper would not justi¬fy any means.Nevertheless, the Maroonappears to be making steadyprogress. To its editors and toits critics that advance mayseem slow. Great newspapersare a product of time, effort,and genius. Justice demandsthat the campus give greatersympathy and encouragementto a thankless and difficulttask.ABE KRASHEditor EmeritusYOU CANstill get Cissie's collection ofcartoonsFOR ONLY75cAT local bookstores bald MacLeish, three hundredsets of Encyclopedia Britannicahave been given to the UnitedNations Educational, Scientificand Cultural organization.

He complained that he had had litttle sleep inalmost two weeks, and that hisrest in California turned out in¬stead to be a series of hectic con¬ferences with Hollywood produc¬ers. Mr. Bernstein said that hisplane to Chicago was groundedin Las Vegas, and from there hehad, to make his way to LittleRock, and finally by train toChicago. In spite of these strain¬ing adventures, Mr. Bernsteinhad a great deal of energy left,and was looking forward with which of these three fields hewould like most, to concentrateon, and although he has beenrecently devoting almost all ofhis time to conducting, he toldme, he had probably received hismost lasting and deeply satisfy¬ing experiences from composing.It was in a tone of lament thathe confessed he had not done anycomposing in the past two years,except for his ballet score “Fac-great anxiety to the lecture of, simile,” which he squeezed inthe next evening. He had still all j during two w’eeks of freedom be-the sparkle of an energetic young, tween his Tanglewood session andman of 28, and although he had j fall season with the New Yorkaged somewhat since I had last City Symphony. He did expressseen him two years ago and ap¬peared more worn, he had re¬tained his fresh, unaffectedyouthful mannerisms and his re¬puted good looks.The Upright PianoAfter we had gotten over the a strong desire, however, to setto work on an opera, which hewould like to be his next venturein composition. He has not yetfound a suitable libretto hov/ever,and when I suggested he writehis own, he replied that he hadless pleasant details ol his trip i considered doing this, but thathere, Mr. Bernstein discussedwith me some of his many ex¬periences of recent years whichhave created the now famous taleof his miraculous success. I askedBernstein what started him downthe path of music—family en¬vironment, or just the innate de¬sire to make music. He said hehad quite by accident discoveredwhen still a youngster an old up¬right piano in the attic of anaunt’s home, which turned outto be his first experience withmusic. He is himself, still amazedby this accident which markedthe beginning of his musicalcareer.From that time on, hisyears were occupied withmusic, first as a music majorat'Harvard, then working un-Koussevitsky at Tanglewood,and eventually as assistantconductor with the NewYork Philharmonic S y m-phony. When I recalled thathistoric Sunday in Novemberof '43 when he replaced Bru¬no Walter at a Philharmonic .concert, Bernstein expre&sedexcitement yet over that ex¬perience, and termed it thegreatest adventure in his life.But Bernstein is not only anexpedient conductor; he is anaccomplished pianist, and hiscompositions have also drawn his conducting engagements didnot leave him the necessary time.Conducting Next YearIn fact, Bernstein has com¬mitted himself for the next en¬tire year to conducting. His en¬gagements will include guestingWith the Boston and Rochesterorchestras, a third tour in Eu¬rope, including several cities inItaly, and three weeks in Pales¬tine. He will then*retum for an¬other session at Taliglewood asKoussevitzky’s assistant, and takeover the New York City Sym¬phony again next fall. Tn themeantime, Hollywood is trying tonab him, and although he seri¬ously considered starring in a pic¬ture as well as doing the scoreand conducting it, he has de¬cided to temporarily leave thatfield untouched.For Modern MusicAs a musician, Mr. Bernsteinis a staunch protagonist of mod¬em music. He puts the successof his performances of music likeBartok to the sincerety and gen¬uine love of the music on the partof the young musicians of hisNew York orchestra and himself,'where a natural unity of feelingis thus developed the music.He told me, “Too many conduc¬tors play modern music todayout of a sense of duty more thanfor any other reason, suid as a re-unprecedented attention upon suit, their performances suffertrim. Bernstein has yet to decide because of the lack of enthusi-Everybody’s wearing aATFrai bHkM: “MIlieiE TIICIS”. Wrili Mb Nid. Ik. Nt F. 1I7S I'my, N. X. II asm.” Bernstein also has a greatlove for the theater, and admit¬ted that he felt a natural affinitywith it, probably more than forany of the other allied arts.Bernstein told me that hehas been doing a great dealof recording lately, includingthe Ravel concerto done inEngland, and a symphony byMarc Blitzstein, both whichwill be released this spring.Future recording sessionshave him scheduled to do theCopland piano sonata, somemore of'his own ballet music,and the Schubert Octet witha picked group of R.C.A. Vic¬tor musicians.Bernstein acknowledges Kous¬sevitzky’s influence on his con¬ducting, and said he believed thatAaron Copland, more than any¬one else, had indirectly in¬fluenced his compositions, prob¬ably because Copland has beenhis best and most severe critic. Romberg Entertaining;'Prince'' C^t Less SoBy JIM BARNETTAs Wolcott Gibbs has often said all a sensible criticcan do is to accept the verdict of public taste, once thatverdict has been turned in. For more than 21 years nowthe American public has been hugging the “StudentPrice” to its play going bosom, so who am I to quarrel withthat decision?were Antigone instead of a care¬free lass from gay old Heidelberg.The comic relief was portrayed byDetmar Poppeh who has playedthis role for the past fifteen years.He does a fine job and helps holdthe entire show together, althoughhis jokes are certainly more thanfifteen years old.One is often apt to be too criti¬cal of musical comedies, thereforelet me assure you that the Rom¬berg tunes are as catchy as ever,the costuming is dazzling, and thescenery is colorful. When so muchmoney is spent on mere setting itis foolish not to find singers whocan sing; dancers who can dance;and actors who can act. The Chi¬cago playgoing public are notbumpkins or yokels and certainlydeserve better than this.The current version of themelodious Sigmund Rombergoperetta opened a three-weekrun at the Blackstone theaterlast Sunday evening. Themeloodies and especially thefamous drinking songs weredone in a fine robust style bythe male chorus on those rareoccasions when they weresinging together. The malelead, Frank Hornaday had anexcellent singing voice butwhy he did one song six timesas an encore was more thanyour critic could deduce. Thesongs were aptly played byan orchestra unhappily out ofkeeping with the rest of theperformance.Without a doubt.

It is philosophical rather than emotional.Next week an audience of fairly sensitive individuals will watch the opening ofIbsen’s “Ghosts” as produced by the Players’ Guild. Now although the Guild is an or¬ganization normally prepared for everything from a burnt-out fuse to a leaking roof,the stage crew is not looking forward to the possibility of having to clean up a messof vegetables thrown by irate students on January 22, nor do the ushers expect to seecouples stalk out in the middle ofthe evening leaving their shat¬tered dignity behind them. Thisis what the Players Guild doesn’texpect and this is what won’thappen unless someone happens tohave a mind for practical jokes.In the 1890’s though, whatwas shocking was after all notto be taken sitting down sotheater managers both inEurope and in the UnitedStates were prepared for al¬most every kind of audiencedisplay. Ibsen was even lesshopeful, for he wrote to afriend in 1881, "My new playhas now appeared and hasoccasioned a terrible uproar inthe Scandinavian press. ... Iconsider it utterly impossiblethat any German theatre willaccept the play at present.

Snv, After the original uproar quiteddown, censorship was relaxed andin one country after another per¬formances of "Ghosts” were per¬mitted. Gradually audiences be¬gan to accept what Ibsen had tosay, and over the years they havegrown to accept it so placidly that"Ghosts” remains interesting onthe stage mainly by virtue of theway in which it is produced. Butif "Ghosts” has ceased to shockus, and if the technique seems ob¬vious and heavy handed it stillhas an air of faded sensational¬ism that helps to make it a firstrate acting play. It is the prob¬lem of the actor to make us for¬get what belongs in True StoryMagazine and tc capture thosefew ideas and emotions that weretrue in 1880 and will be true in1980. ’There are still Parson Man-ders walking the face of the earthwith dead ideas, if not in such asimple guise.But although "Ghosts” is anactor’s favorite, it also presents achallenge to the scenic designer.In designing the set for GhostsCharles Lown has tried to suggestthe narrowness and ugliness whichconstitute part of the mood ofthe play.The Players Guild technicaldirector says of his set, "Toachieve a physical cramped-ness to enchance the psycho¬logical "ghosts” of the playwas the problem. Thus, thesetting was laid out as a par¬tial corner of a room so thatactually very little space wasleft for the acting area. Thecoldness of the psychologicalsetting of the played calledfor the use of cool color inthe set — thus tones of greenwere selected.

A fewstop the movement ratherthan represent it and givethe erroneous impression thatthe group was meant to beseen as a motion picture. ^The group as a whole series,on the other hand, fails to revealthe meaning intended. The In¬heritance, an allegory in photo¬graphs, represents a philosophyof life in which man’s dignityeventually overcomes the ob¬stacles in a kind of cyclic pat¬tern of growth. This philosophyis the artist’s personal one, andwhile the photographs may have this meaning for her, I <loubtthat many others will discoverit from them. Their meaning re¬mains opaque and obscure with¬out further explanation on thepart of the artist.The other part of the cuirentexhibition is an exhibit of workdone by students in the Humani¬ties I Workshop.'

The firstperiod contains the cycle of sixquartets, markeH Opus 18, themiddle period the three Ras-umosky quartets. Opus 59, aswell as two other string quar¬tets; the final period mcludeshis last five string quartets andthe Grand Fugue. This divisionis based on the three stylisticperiods in the life of Beethoven.The first of these periodspresents to us the Beethoven as weknow him in the first two sym¬phonies and the early piano con¬certos, the Second period, theBeethoven of the Eroica and thefifth symphony; the style ofBeethoven in his third period isbest known to us in his greatchoral symphony and his MissaSolemnis. Thus the Opus 18 No. 6quartet belongs to the earlieststylistic period, reminiscent ofin style to Haydn find Mozart inmany respects. Yet it containssome features which pave the wayto the last quartets. The moststriking example of these in theOpus 18 No. 6 is the introductionof a movement between the con¬ventional third and fourth move¬ments, called "La Malinconia”Go Formatto thatDANCE or PROMTUXEDOES ANDFULL DRESS —RENTED FOR ALLOCCASIONSNewest Styles and All SizesLOGAN'STWO LOCATIONS6309 S, Cottage GroveAND1904 E. 71st Street and to be played "colla piu grandelicatezza ” a title and termshardly associated with the ob¬jectivity of the classic period.Interesting Treatment of StringsThe Bloch qumtet in its treat¬ment of the strings is one of themost interesting works in themodern chamber music repertoire,showing clearly the tendency thatmany composers have today,namely their interest in instru¬mental effects. The last move¬ment of the quintet, which startswith an almost barbaric rhythmand after reacning the climax,closes with a quiet and calm pas¬sage for the strings, makes useof practically every known effectthat can be attained on a stringinstrument We will see the mem¬bers ot the Pine Arts quartet turntheir bows upside down and hitthe strings with the wooden partof the bow, they will play on the"wrong” side of the bridge andthey will also draw their bowacross” the finger board, ratherthan near the bi-idge.Quarter Tone in Siring PassagesThe wcrk is unified by a theme,first played by the piano in theopening movement, which runsthrough ail three movements. Inhis string passages Bloch intro¬duces quarter tones, that is ask¬ing the string player to play thenote halfway between G and Gsharp. As modernistic as this mayseem to' us, quarter tones werecommonly used by the Greeks intheir scales which differed con¬siderably from the scales that arein use in our civilization.The concert will cegin at 8:30and the admission will be $1.50.Tickets w^ll be on sale at the boxoffice.Dole Horrison says:"A clever group of cartoonssomewhot-reminiscent of JamesThurber.”CISSIE'S PORTFOLIO OF CAR-TOONS ot iocol bookstores. .75c •AS/Page 10 THE CHICAGO MAROON Friday, January 17, 194^MOKINGPLEASUREWITH THE TOP STARS OFHOLLYWOOD, CHESTERFIELDIS BY FAR THE FAVORITECIGARETTEFEATURED IN COLUMBIA'SNEW TECHNICOLOR PRODUCTION"DOWN TO EARTH."YOU’RE COOKING WITHGAS, ADELE, WHENYOU SAY Merriam DisplaysOptimism Over HisFleet Cindermen“We have a better team thanwe’ve had for a good many years ”reports Coach Ned A.

He clipped it offunder ten minutes before the warand if he returns to his pre-warform will be an important cogin Merriam’s squad.Two other men from last year’sgroup are Chuck Kelso, in thedashes and broad jump, and Wal¬ter Franck who hsuidles the 60-yard dash, broad jump, and lowhurdles.Harry White, Bill Mullin.s, BobWright, Ray Snyder, Ed Banks,Jack Christopher and Bob Smithare also among the names theChicago partisans will be seeingin the winning column this seas¬on.4 OF C SWORDSMENDEFEAT MINNESOTAThe power-laden University ofChicago fencing team opened its1946-47 season with a 10-8 ic-tory overy the University of Min¬nesota in the fencing room atBartlett on January tenth. Ninebouts were held in foil and ninein epee, while the sabre matcheswere struck off the agenda be¬cause of the visiting team’s lack oftime. The Maroons will meetNorthwestern at Bartlett on Sat¬urday in their second meet of theyear.It was the epee squad that savedthe day j>y winning six out of itsnine bouts after the foilsmenhad dropped five, to give the in¬vaders a 5-4 lead. Strauss, Thomp¬son and Olmstead collected twovictories apiece while Polacheckand McDowell were defeated. Inthe foil division. Art Cohn, majorC winner, recently elected captain,led the way with two triumphs,while Vaughn and Nehill eachgained one victory.Berman was easily the out¬standing swordsman as he led theGolden Gophers to near victoryover the Maroons. But with threevarsity letter winners on thisyear’s squad. Chicago may lookforward to a highly successfulseason in which they will meetother northwestern conferencemembers such as Wisconsin andIllinois.SELECTIONS FORMAROON'S BASKETBALLCONTEST FOR JAN. 251.

Theobjective, Miss Locke of the Phy¬sical Education departmentstated without batting an eyelash,will be to .swim forty miles toWaukegan. Ellen P o w e I s o n,W .^.A. swimming representative,had a few less startling com¬ments to make. It seems that thetournament, which will take sixweeks to complete and will util¬ize up to thirty swimmers fromeach house, is conceived on amileage basis. The winning teamwill be that team which firstracks up the forty mile total.According to Ellen, team mem¬bers will be allow'ed to swim in¬dividually five days a week from4:30 till 6 p.m., but may swim!no less than one length at a time'arid no more than one mile. Dur- jing the hour and a half perioda faculty member from the Phys. jEd. department will be on handto certify the distances swum.Distance not tabulated officiallyin this manner will not becounted in the tournament.liePaul’s volleyball team sweptthrough to win volleyball play-day held last Saturday by theTrdverslty of Illinois at NavyPier.

They dropped•0 exciting match to Mundelein;»bc scoreboard read 32-15. I trust that all readers of thiscolumn—if any—will forgive meif I leave the Midway completelyand ramble through a few phasesof the national sporting scene. Agood way to start might be totake a look at the doings of theWestern Conference, popularlyknown at the Big Nine. (I hearwhispered ad hushed voices inmy ear telling me it was onceknown as the Big Ten.)Students of a neighboringschool down at Champaign, someof whom like to call themselvesstudents of “Rose Bowl U,” arejustly proud of their football teamwhich slaughtered the pride ofthe West Coast, U. C. L. A., 45 to14 on New Year’s day. After thisdebacle several sporis WTiters onthe coast who had been holleringfor Army to play in the RoseBowl were not seen for .severaldays. They are still probablyshuddering at the thought of theCadets, Noti'e Dame, or the pow¬erful Michigan team againsttheir beloved Bruins.Thus the Illini upheld the pres¬tige of the conference and themidwest in football. Meanwhile,basketball season was under wayand the Pacific Coast conferencewas and still is doing all rightby itself. Their teams played elev¬en games with Big Nine teamsand won nine of them. Minnesotalost twice to Washington and sodid Ohio State, which also losttwo games to California. Illinoissplit two with California* U. C.L. A. revenged itself by beatingPurdue, and U. S. C. beath North¬western before losing to the Wis¬consin Badgers.Today the Wisconsin team topsthe Big Nine with three straightwins and they apparently haveonly to fear Iowa, whose oneloss of the season was by onepoint to Wisconsin at Iowa City.Wisconsin has lost two non-con¬ference games, one to a weakMarquette team whom they hadbadly beaten bfore and on to afairly strong Oklahoma team ofthe Big Six.At this point I shall break therecord of the column by makingfive predictions on Saturday’sgames. Last week the sports ed¬itor, Anson Cherry, correctly pick¬ed all five winners. Including Pur¬due’s upset of Notre Dame. Tihsweek, we pick Iowa to beat In¬diana, Purdue to conquer Mich¬igan, Ohio State to nose outNorthwestern in a cellar battle,Minnesota to triumph over Mich¬igan State, and, finally ona hunch, Chicago to win its sec¬ond home game of the season infour tries by winning over Grin-nell.
