The Notre Dame Scholastic 611 CO/HMENT It seems to be a generally accepted fact that when you travel you must see certain things and certain places. A case in point, for anyone on a Western journey, is the Grand Can- yon. Now this state of affairs has both advantages and disadvantages. To see something, blindly, because other peo- ple have liked it, and therefore you must, is, of course, quite mistaken; yet what you see may be something quite fine, of real value to you. Again: you have heard a great deal about a particular piece of scenery. You have read columns of pi-int frankly declaring it to be the great- est thing the writer has ever seen, and you go to see it out of a sense of duty—and are disappointed. You have been led to expect a Titan—and you encounter a rather fair sized gnat. And then, on a morning that was like a blue vase holding hot lilies of light, we walked off the earth and in- to the Grand Canyon. We might give you figures and facts on the extent and size of the place, but we prefer not to. There are certain objects, which, once seen, are like great lumps of coal forced into the furnace of the mind. They burn and burn; but so gigantic are they that they will never be totally consumed, their ash will never trickle into grey pails of language. It was almost absurd, when stand- ing on the brink of the Canyon, to think that these clouds of iron, fallen from the sky that is above the sky and pasted with frozen red flames, were present merely because they quite accidentally happened—were in existence only because of a shifting of atoms. The Grand Canyon had something to say and we tried to hear; but it was like a mute talking to a deaf man. Yet, even then, there is a sign language; but its characters are not learned in a school of science nor are they mastered under the taskmaster Logic!

CO/HMENT It seems to be a generally accepted

fact that when you travel you must see certain things and certain places. A case in point, for anyone on a Western journey, is the Grand Can­yon.

Now this state of affairs has both advantages and disadvantages. To see something, blindly, because other peo­ple have liked it, and therefore you must, is, of course, quite mistaken; yet what you see may be something quite fine, of real value to you.

Again: you have heard a great deal about a particular piece of scenery. You have read columns of pi-int frankly declaring it to be the great­est thing the writer has ever seen, and you go to see it out of a sense of duty—and are disappointed. You have been led to expect a Titan—and you encounter a rather fair sized gnat.

And then, on a morning that was like a blue vase holding hot lilies of light, we walked off the earth and in­to the Grand Canyon.

We might give you figures and facts on the extent and size of the place, but we prefer not to. There are certain objects, which, once seen, are like great lumps of coal forced into the furnace of the mind. They burn and burn; but so gigantic are they that they will never be totally consumed, their ash will never trickle into grey pails of language.

It was almost absurd, when stand­ing on the brink of the Canyon, to think that these clouds of iron, fallen from the sky that is above the sky and pasted with frozen red flames, were present merely because they quite accidentally happened—were in existence only because of a shifting of atoms.

The Grand Canyon had something to say and we tried to hear; but it was like a mute talking to a deaf man.

Yet, even then, there is a sign language; but its characters are not learned in a school of science nor are they mastered under the taskmaster Logic! For the alpha of that alpha­bet is day, and the omega night!

ENGLISH MAJOR EXAM­INATION SOON

The qualification examination for the English major will be given on the two Sundays, the 9th and the 16th of March. The subjects of the exam­ination will be: Writing, at 40% pos­sible; English Literature, at 35%; and Miscellaneous English, at 25%. The period for the examination in Writing will be from 8:30 a. m. to 12:00 m. on Sunday, 'March the 9th; the period for the Literature, from 8:30 to 10:30 on Sunday, March the 16th; and the period for the Miscel­laneous English, from 10:30 to 12.00 on the 16th. No extra time will be allowed in any of the subjects. Off-campus students who take the exam­ination have permission to attend an earlier Mass on the two Sundays of the examination.

Tlie examination papers will be graded at 100%, apportioned among the thi'ee subjects as noted above. The minimum grade for approval for the English Major will be 75%. The student who gets a grade between 63% and 75% will be conditioned. The approval of a conditioned student will depend upon the quality of his schoolwork this semester, and the first quarter of the next schoolyear, and upon his passing a second qual­ification examination, to be given immediately after the mid-semester tests in November, 1930.

Seventy-eight students have made application for the examination, a somewhat larger number than the number who took the examination last Spring. Last year fifty-five students took the examination, and of these, thirty-three were approved, sixteen were conditioned, and six failed. Ten students took the second qualification examination for con­ditioned students, given the Novem­ber of 1929, in which,nine passed, and one failed.

Any sophomore who wishes to take the qualification examination, and has not yet made application should see Professor Fenlon, chairman of the Committee on Approval for the English Major, as soon as possible.

TOM LIEB AT LOYOLA Tom Lieb, former assistant coach

at Notre Dame, arrived in Los Ang­eles this week to assume his new du­ties as head football coach, of Loyola University. Lieb will issue the first call for spring practice there within the next few days.

PUBLICATIONS FORMAL DINNER DANCE

APPROVED According to an announcement

made by Harley McDevitt, Graduate Manager of Publications, the annual Dinner Dance has been approved by the Faculty Board of Publications. At a meeting held in the Publications Office on Monday evening, the Board voted that the members of the three major Campus Publications, namely, the SCHOLASTIC; the Juggler, and the Dame, shall be pennitted to hold their dance sometime during the middle of May. The actual date has not been determined, but it will be announced in a later issue of the SCHOLASTIC. This dinner dance, which is one of the most important^ social functions of the Spring Tei-m.- is limited expressly to members of the various Editorial and Business Boards of the Publications.

N. D. Academy of Science Notes

Father Joseph Carroll, a student in the summer s chool for several years, has forwarded a box of books to the dean of the College of Science. Father Carroll was a professor in Columbus College, Sioux Falls, and is now active in parish work in Henry, South Dakota.

Among the more valuable books in the shipment is a "Conchology" by George Perry, London, 1911; "Ter­tiary Insects of the United States" by Samuel Scudder, 1890, two volumes; the "Contributions to the Natural His­tory of the United States" by Louis Agassiz, 1857, four volumes; and a Luther Bible, dated Wittenberg, 1556.

* * *

Seniors in the College of Science are hereby notified that the final drafts of the dissertation is due on April 1st.

Dr. John B. Berteling, alumnus, former University physician, and at present secretary of the South Bend Board of Health, will address the members of the Notre Dame Acad­emy of Science on next Monday eve­ning, March 3rd. The lecture is for members of the Academy and guests.

Junior Prom To-Night Is

m-m

VERNON J. Kxox President of the Junior Class

E\TE;NT—Junior Prom PLACE—Palais Eoyale TiJiE—9 until 1:30 ESSENTIALS—A ticket and a girl MUSIC—Excellent DECORATIONS—Stunning

There you are. All in a nutshell. Tonight the Juniors, a few lucky Seniors, and a host of beautiful girls will enjoy the most elaborate Junior Prom ever staged at Notre Dame. All

"MY PROM SWEETHEART"

Let music rejieat a vielody sweet As I promenade with you; Lights softly glow, they seem to

knoio I'm singing this love song to you.

My Prom Siveetheart, you are a part

Of all that iny love dreams unfold;

Deep in your eyes, as in azure skies,

Lingers a love tale untold. Loiv soothing strains, waltz­

ing refrains. Make all our dreams come

true tonight. A-nd when it ends, I'll still

have as friends Dreams of My Prom Siveet­

heart.

t]ie available talent of the third-year inen was recruited to put this affair over in a big way, and to all appear­ances the result will be a shattering-success. While the committee-men made no effort to dress up the event with desci'iptive titles, it could be called the "Prom Distinctive," and justly so.

To the Junior, this is the nights of nights, the big night of the entire school year, the one night that is his, and his alone. He can, he should, he probably will, enjoy himself, for this night is dedicated to the premier social event of his year.

The symphonies of striking colors, charm, grace and gaiety that always embellish a gathering of Youth and Beauty will delight the Junior for a shoz-t, brilliant span that will remain in his memory forever. He Avill not be able to escape the spell that has been crystallized from the romance of a thousand romances, from the music of as many poems, from the splendor of hundreds of glorious nights—of nights created in dreams of gardens and flowers, of youth and romance, of soft moonbeams and glowing stars.

Mr. Vernon J. Knox, President of the Junior Class, is to be congratulat­ed on his excellent choice of chairmen to handle the various details of the dance. The general concensus of opinion is that his selection for Gen­eral Chairman, who, by the way, is Mr. William J. Sullivan, could not be improved upon. Both gentlemen de­serve generous applause for their un­tiring efforts to make the Prom of 1930 an affair to be long remembered. As it is, the whole scheme is so elab­orate and ambitious that it makes a bid for the honor of being the most impressive event ever held at Notre Dame, Senior Balls included.

When Eobert Balfe, Chairman of Publicity, announced that several novel schemes would be used to adver­tise the Pi'om, many were inclined to be skeptical. But even the dourest cjmic gave an involuntary start when signs appeared shortly before Christ­mas vacation to present "her" with a bid to the Prom as the ideal present. Attractive posters constantly remind­ed the "eligibles" that the time Was smftly drawing nearer. Mr. Balfe succeeded in interesting the local city newspapers to such an extent that

daily accounts of the progress made were published. Under his direction, large electric signs were made to shine nightly from the various resi­dence halls as a constant reminder of the great event. Climaxing his ener­getic drive to supply sufficient pub­licity, he enlisted the aid of several tal­ented assistants and designed a large electric sign bearing the word "Prom" which was placed nightly in front of the Dining Halls. An electrical re-

productive device, amplified by giant speakers, filled the air with peals of melody. This ingenious scheme was but one of many used to advertise the Prom. A fuU page advertisement in the Juggler, with a special Prom sup­plement, completed the elaborate sys­tem of giving jpublicity.

Mtisic Everything has been done to make

a perfect Prom. Under the chair­manship of Edward B. Ryan, the Music Committee, after long and careful consideration of the finest or­chestras in the Middle West, has se­lected Wayne King and his Aragon Orchestra to provide one of the most essential elements in the festivities of the evening. Eang's orchestra is noted for its distinctive interpreta­tion of current hits, its slow dreamy music, and the brilliance of its individ­ual entertainers. Wayne King, him­self a colorful figure, promises to of­fer several novelty numbers, and

High Light of Social Season promises also to comply with any re­quests for particular selections.

The Men of '31 may well look for­ward to the "Waltz King's" rendi­tion of the Prom Song, My Prom Sweetheart. Composed by John Beljon and Zeno Staudt, and inspired by the Prom of 1930, it will be one of the chief attractions of the eve­ning. Mr. King's arrangement of this song should fit in exceedingly well with the schedule of melodies

Guest of Mr. Sullivan

that he has prepared. The song has been so well received at this date that it promises to be one of the most popular Prom songs ever written for a Junior Class at Notre Dame. Other universities in the Middle West have endeavored to secure the melody for their own proms, but its presentation at the Prom of 1930 will be its pre­miere. The appeal of the song might possibly be shown in a few of its lines:

Let music repeat a melody siveet As I 2Ji'0'>nenade with you; Lights softly gloiv, they seem to know I'm singing this love song to you.

Decorations The decorations are quite foreign to

the usual run of furnishings used. This year the motif is a romance scheme. Floral pieces representing the four boundaries of our nation vriU. be used. Completely disregarding labor, the Decorations Committee has arranged for a garden theme to be

used, not only in the ballroom but in the lobby, foyer, and mezzanine as well. The theme will be built around four toy bungalows. The first will represent the meeting place of two lovers. Here will be the trysting place where the young couple pledge "undy­ing" love. The second cottage repre­sents the place where they obtain their marriage license. The third is the site of the wedding and the fourth and final bungalow will, be the home where "they live happily ever after."

The orchestra will play from a specially constructed terrace, lending an enchanting effect to the occasion. Imported Mexican smilax, roses, and seasonal floral pieces will be banked around the terrace. On the floor in the center of the ballroom will be a flower bed of choicest blossoms.

The color scheme will favor blue, with subtle blends of gold and other subdued shades. In order to obtain the best interpretation, John Kuhn and Timothy Benitz, co-chaimien of the Decorations Committee, were forced to extend themselves to the limit. A novel system of lighting effects was produced to properly illuminate the decorations. Gold and old rose lights have been installed to play upon the floor, while blue effects will be used to obtain a moonlit at­mosphere. The alternating symphony of light will- bear out admirably the

.modernistic effect of the corners and orchestral terrace.

From all parts of the United States, —^East, West, North and South, gii'ls will be on hand to add to the beauty of the affair. Tlie Guest of the Eve­ning will be Miss Euth J. MacBride, a student at Ohio State University in Columbus. Miss MacBride is the guest of Vernon J. Knox, President of the Junior Class. Miss Irene Geary of Chicago, the Prom Queen, will accompany William J. Sullivan, general chairman of the Prom of 1930.

The guests of honor will be: Robert L. Pendergast, editoi--in-chief of the Dome; Murray Hickey Ley, editor-in-chief of the SCHOLASTIC; John L. Nanovic, editor-in-chief of the Jug­gler; Eobert Hellrung, chairman of the S. A. C ; Eobert Kuhn, chairman of the Blue Circle; J. Archer Hurley, director of public relations, and Frank Kersjes, chairman of the S. A. C. dance committee.

Junior Prom To-Night (Continued from Page 615)

The reception committee, under the supervision of Thomas Cannon, ex­tend a cordial welcome to the Class of 1931 and their guests. They will be ready to take charge of the comfort of the guests during the course of the evening and will act as a floor com­mittee to keep things running smooth-

ly. Notwithstanding the heavy drain on

the class treasury through the cost of the decorations and music, William Brown, chairman of the Favors Com­mittee, was able to select a very novel and practical favor in the foiro of a

ladies' beautiful suede coin purse with "Junior Prom" and the date engraved in gold letters on the outside. The cost of the favors was given as being half again as much as any favors used in former Proms. An attractive suede strap on the outside of the purse serves as a handle. The se­lection came only after much delibera­tion and debate on the relative merits of other favors. Combined with this lovely favor is an elaborate program in the f onn of a sixteen-page memory book. The cord and tassel are blue and gold, w^hile the facing on the pro­gram is pressed gold lettering, vnth.

the gold dome and University seal. William Bro\\'n and his committee deserve credit for their excellent choice.

Eay Manix and his staff have been the official "men of all work." They have been busy helping all the com­mittees, gathering together all the loose ends and taking care of any de­tails and arrangements that may claim their time. They have done noble work to date, acting as property men, carpenters, painters, or what have you. In fact they were indis­pensable and their efforts are appre­ciated.

I A Man You Know \ 4 <.

The ideas generally associated with the word "engineer" are not what might be called cultural. Most peo­ple have come to consider an engineer

m

Doctor Jose A. Caparo

as one who has devoted himself so in­tensely to the study of his particular branch of technology as to rob him­self of those bits of education which serve to broaden him and widen his view on life. The engineer must specialize in his field if he wishes to derive the most practical benefits from it. I t is for this reason that an engineer who has added a cultural and a scientific education to his tech­nical knowledge is rather a rare in­dividual, and consequently respected as a truly learned man. Doctor Jose Caparo is such a man. He has mas­tered the science of engineering and the art of teaching it. He stands out in his chosen field of study and he has a broad background of wide i-esearch and scholarly attainments. His life has centered around engineering, yet he has strayed into distant fields of learning to browse about a while be­fore returning to his chosen work.

Doctor Caparo was born in Cuzco, Peru, on November 2,1888, His fam­ily extends back to an ancient Spanish house. His elementary and high school training he received in South America, and he came to the United States, at the age of seventeen, to con­tinue his education at Notre Dame. He took up Civil Engineering here and graduated with a B.S. in C.E. in 1908. During the four years he worked diligently and was awarded

FORMER STUDENT WINS SHORT STORY HONORS

. Basil Rauch, a graduate of the uni­versity in the class of 1929, has received recognition for his literary work, from Edward O'Brien, com­piler of the annual Yearbook of the Short Story. Tliis authority has given one star to "Evening of Nibs," a short story by Mr. Eauch, which ap­peared in John T. Frederick's "Mid­land" magazine last year. In O'Brien's system of rating, one star is given those stories which he considers de­serving of recognition for either sub­stance or form.

Mr. Rauch's story was accepted while he was still a student at the university, and appeared in the May-June issue of the "Midland." He is a brother of Rufus W. Rauch, in­structor in English here. Mr. Rauch is now enrolled at Yale in Professor George Pierce Baker's famous Play-writing "47" Workshop, and is doing very promising work there.

the Elsworth C. Hughes Medal for having the highest avei-age in his engineering class. He remained at Notre Dame as a graduate student, and the close of the school year of 1909 found him in possession of two more degrees: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, and Master of Science in Civil Engineering.

Liking the atmosphere and the spirit of Notre Dame, Doctor Caparo decided to stay and teach here. Hardly had he held his first class when news of his father's death summoned him to South America. Some time later the University of Peru offered him the professorship of chemistry and an­thropology, which he accepted. In 1910 his work at the South American university merited for him the degree of Doctor of Science. A month later he was appointed state engineer of Cuzco, in which position he remained for one year, and then returned to Notre Dame in 1911, to become an assistant in the College of Engineer­ing. In 1912 he received the degree of Master of Science in Mathematics; a year later the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy, all a t Notre Dame.

In 1915 Mr. Caparo was appointed delegate to the second Pan-American Congress, where he presented two

Notes

The Remington Rand Business Sei-vice of Buffalo, has placed in the hands of Dean J. A. McCarthy of the College of Commerce a number of applications for positions with the organization. I t is their desire to in­terest seniors in the Commerce School, in the advantages offered by the com­pany and to acquaint them with their methods. Anyone interested in find­ing out more about the concern, may see Dean McCarthy in Room 125, Sorin Hall, and obtain applications and information.

Dean McCarthy also announces that a representative from a promi­nent bank in Detroit will spend a few days on the campus interviewing pros­pective bankers of the senior Com­merce class. Full information may also be obtained in this matter from Mr. McCarthy. -

papers on South American history. In 1916 he became head of the De­partment of Electrical Engineering.

When the United States was caught in the maelstrom of the World War, Doctor Caparo was one of the first to offer his services to his adopted country. Carnegie Tech is proud to claim him as one of its most efficient R. 0. T. C. instructors.

When the war ended. Doctor Caparo set out in search of more degrees. In the summer of 1919 the University of Chicago confered the degree of Mas­ter of Arts upon him.

Numerous societies of national im­portance have Dr. Caparo's name on their membership rolls. Among others, he is a charter member of the Indiana Academy of Science, and is a member of the Laetare Medal Com­mittee.

"My hobbies," said Dr. Caparo when questioned about them, "are rather limited. Although I like music, and enjoy swimming, my love for a real, hard mathematical problem places all other diversions in the back­ground. My work as consulting en­gineer for the Indiana Bell Telephone Company and the Indiana and Mich­igan Electric Company has also af­forded me much pleasure."

Music and Drama

Mr. Zirm, (we hope that's right), the scenic artist of the Armstrong Players has prepared some stage set­tings which should make St. Elmo the best scenic production offered here to date. The action takes place dur­ing the period of the Civil War. Con­sequently Miss Rey will dash about the stage in billowing hoop skirts and Bentley Wallace will strike the fa­mous St. Elmo pink in lace collars (I believe they are called fichus) and lace cuffs.

The Armstrong Players will do St. Elmo with all seriousness and if you enjoyed After Dark you are going to like it. If you didn't see the latter, see St. Elmo. I t should "knock you out of your seat." We are going and we intend to add some of its lines to a very personal repertoire consisting of choice bits from Diamond Lil and After Dark, or Neither Maid, Wife nor Widow.

The Colfax has been showing The Taming of the Shretv which was re­markable mainly because the produ­cers didn't try to improve on Shakes­peare. Perhaps Miss Pickford re­membered what happened to Coquette when she suited the part to her rep­utation.

The Granada gave us Happy Days. We were inclined to say ho-hum until we learned that Happy Days was the first picture to be made expressly for Magnafilm or Grandeur Pictures or Stupendous Successes or whatever it was made for. We rather won­dered, you know.

JANUARY CATALYZER BE­ING DISTRIBUTED

The January Catalyzer, edited by the Chemists' Club, was released for distribution Wednesday morning. An article of particular interest, entitled "Organic Chemistry, its Contribution to Pharmacy and Medicine" is written by Mr. Lawrence H. Baldin-ger. Ph. C, B.S. of the Department of Pharmacy. In his discussion, Mr. Baldinger demonstrates the fact that organic chemistry has contributed the more potent drugs which are used in the medical profession today.

News of the St. Joseph Valley Sec­tion of the American Chemical So­ciety, and of the American Society for Steel Treating, is to be found in this issue.

DEBATERS SPEAK AT DETROIT

The varsity debating team will hold its first intercollegiate contest of the year this evening, in a debate with the University of Detroit, dis­cussing the question, "Resolved: That the nations of the world should adopt a plan of complete disarmament, ex-

cept such forces as are necessary for police purposes." The Affirmative team which will travel to Detroit is composed of Walter Stanton, William O'Malley, and Thomas Keegan. The debate will be judged by Professor O'Neill of the University of Mich­igan.

On March 6, the Negative contro­versialists—James Walsh, Willam Kirby, and John Keefe^-will meet the City College of Detroit here at Notre Dame. The judge, on that oc­casion, will be Professor C. C. Cun­ningham, prominent instructor at Northwestern University. It is pos­sible that some of the debates this year will be judged by an audience vote, but most of the decisions will be • of the judicial type. I t is also pcissible that one or more of the de­bates will be held in South Bend.

The squad has made a thorough study of the question, under the direc­tion of the Reverend Francis J. Boland, C.S.C, and the members of the teams feel sure that they will be able to meet the competition through­out the year. This year's schedule desei-ves especial interest because of the high caliber of the teams which it includes. Contests with represen­tative schools of both the East and the Middle West have been arranged: with Princeton, New York Univer­sity, the University of Florida, and Purdue. Such a worthifrhile program as this is indicative of a renewal of interest in forensic activities here at Notre Dame.

A Man About the Campus

If you have heard of the Prom, you have heard of Vernon Knox. But if you are one of the few who are

ignorant of the annual classic to be s t a g ed at t h e Palais Royale to­night, there is still a p 0 ssibility t h a t y o u have heard of him. For V e r n has not limited his abilities

VERKOX J. KNOX ^^ j ^ ^ ^ ,^0,.^

as president of the Junior Class. The field of his acti\aties is a broad one; and his accomplishments, since he first bade farewell to the townspeople of Crystal Lake, Illinois, to journey to Notre Dame, have been many.

Since it has been mentioned that Ml*. Knox is president of the Junior Class, you have probably figured it out that he is in his third year at the University. He is in the College of Ai-ts and Letters and is taking the pre-legal course. Judging from the choice selection of books which he has kept secure from borrowers in his I'oom, we might risk the guess that he is a good student. His private library is really impressive; the vol­umes vary from The Spirit and Sub­stance of Art, by Flaccus, to Herr Spengler's Der Untergang des Ahend-landes, m t h about six Spanish gram­mars scattered among the intervening tomes. May we suggest the by-word, "If it's not in the five-foot shelf, see Vern Knox"?

Vern is rather a "home body," if we may borrow that term from the gii-1 reporters' description of movie stars. He has made a hobby out of his room and has expended his talents as an amateur interior decorator in arranging it. He has succeeded in making it one of the most attractive in Morrissey Hall, and Morrissey, you know, has a "rep" for room designs that are the envy of the Statler Cor­poration. Vern's scheme of decora­tion seems to revolve about numerous pictures of a charming young miss who will probably be "among those present" at the formal Junior festival tonight.

SIEGLER, BENITZ TO REP­RESENT S.A.C. AT ATLANTA

Jackson Siegler and Tim Benitz, off-Campus and junior class Student Activity Council representatives res­pectively, departed for Atlanta, Geor­gia, Tuesday evening, to attend the mid-western student governing as­sembly held at Georgia Tech Univer­sity, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.

Tliis is the tenth annual convention held for the purpose of considering student governing problems presented in reports by college representatives from every university in America.

Knox has run in two class elections for the office of president. His bat­ting average for the two campaigns is .500. In the race for the presidency of the Sophomore Class last year, he came in a close second on the heels of Tom Conley. Being a nominee in two successive years is in itself an honor . . . . one of the goodly number of honors which Vern has enjoyed in his three years at Notre Dame. In his freshman year he was a Blue Circle man, and also upheld the honors of Howard Hall on the basketball flooz-. Last year he was on the Cotillion Committee, and the Eeception Com­mittee for the K. of C. Ball. While a sophomore he was elected Financial Secretary of the Knights of Colum­bus, an important and labor'ious office, since the six hundred members of the local council are scattered far and wide throughout the country. As the executive of the Junior Class he is entitled to membership in the S. A. C. until he graduates. He belongs, fur­thermore, to the dance and ring com­mittees of the Council. His social status has been firmly established by his admission to the Chicago Club as a social member.

AU in all, Vern's career, since he received the key to his room in How­ard Hall, seems to have been one of success and accomplishment. He is to be congratulated for what he has done, and admired for the modest and unassuming manner in which he car­ries his honors. Vern's pre-University days are not mentioned here, for we were a bit timid about inquiring con­cerning them, after reading a certain headline tacked above his desk. In­stead, we asked him about his hob­bies, but fled when he started an en­thusiastic recital of his love for philosophy. The last we heard as we closed the door hastily were the words "But on the other hand, Hegel, in. his Philosophy of . . ."

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INAUGURATE MEMBER­

SHIP DRIVE Although a large class of sixty-

five new members were attending their very first regular meeting last Monday night in the council rooms, Grand Knight John Chevigny, of the Notre Dame Council of the Knights of Columbus announced that there would be two more membership drives by June. If these drives are suc­cessful the council should be near the top in the membership contest now being conducted in the United States and Canada. A very elaborate pro­gram has been planned for the spring as an added cajolement for potential candidates. The meeting was spiced by the delightful singing of a colored male quartet from South Bend. The evening was topped by a very instructive and interesting talk in which the speaker of the evening, the Eeverend George O'Connor, C.S.C., of South Bend, told of his work among the Indians and their wonderful con­ception of the word, "sacrifice," and its meaning compared to Knighthood.

The next regular meeting of the order Avill be held on Monday evening, March 10, in the Council Chambers.

PROM DINNER DANCE AT OLIVER HOTEL

The dinner dance, as has been an­nounced in the program, will be held tomorrow evening in the Gold and Venetian rooms of the Oliver Hotel. The dinner will be served at 6:30 and the music will very likely start at seven. The evening will be one of those delightful affairs that few fail to enjoy. Good food, good music, and a good dance floor seldom got together with such success as this dinner dance promises to attain. Dancing will stop at 11:30 when adieus may be said until the next morning, when there will be Mass in Morris­sey Hall Chapel at 9:00. Morrissey Hall has such a beautiful chapel, so quiet and res,tful after the hectic en­joyment of the two previous eve­nings (tonight and tomorrow night), that it must certainly be an ideal way to begin the last day with the guests of the Juniors. Following that, in the Faculty Dining Room, the Juniors and their guests will enjoy the breakfast that Mr. Borland and his able as­sistants have prepared. That finished, there will be an ideal chance to show the way about the campus to the guests who have little chance to see the grounds at the Prom this year.

"JUGGLER" RECEIVES WIDE PUBLICITY

Following closely upon the almost nai-ion-wide publicity which the Notre Dame "Jugglei^s" Christmas number elicited, due to its unusual treatment of a serious theme as a feature of a college comic magazine, additional news items have spread the name of the Juggler and Notre Dame is a re­sult of the "Home To^vn Paper" in the Home Town Number. The special newspaper supplement which was a part of the Home Town Number was made up of clippings from papers of dilferent states. Copies of the Jug­gler were mailed to the papers repre­sented in the issue, and almost every­one of them has turned about and given the Juggler a very flattering account of the magazine and many compliments upon the originality and perfection of the Home Town Num­ber. Everyone took the issue in the spirit in which it was intended, and more than one of the clippings re­turned is headed "Notre Dame Jiig-gler Has Fun "With "Qs." Several of the papers had turned the copy of the Jxiggler over to their local libra­ries, where all might take advantage of it.

The April issue of College Humor, likewise, will carry special mention of the Juggler. Mr. Eggleston, college art editor of that magazine, pictui-ed one impression of the campus during his short stay here while he talked to Juggler staff men some time ago. Before the end of this school year. College Humor will also feature the Juggler in a full page story.

Deadline for material for the next issue, the Fashion Number, will be Monday, March 3. All material should be submitted to the Editor, John L. Nanovic, 130 Sorin Hall, be­fore midnight of that day. The num­ber promises to be one of especial merit, since the subject is so adapt­able to campus life.

Sisters of Notre Dame students, their friends, as well as girls of all other schools, are invited to contrib­ute poetry, humorous verse, short jokes or longer humorous articles, cartoons, drawings, and any art work, for the Girl Number, which will be out in April. Deadline for all material for the Girl Number is Saturday, March 29. Prizes for the best mater­ial, a Juggler key for the best art work, and another for the best writ­ten work, vnll be given to the two girls whose material is judged best.

BASKETBALL BANQUET SET FOR MARCH 11

The annual testimonial basketball banquet will be held this year on Tuesday, March 11, in. the University Lay Faculty Dining Hall.

For the past several years just as the St. Joseph "Valley Alumni Asso­ciation has held a testimonial foot­ball banquet, so the Villagers' Club

. has held a testimonial banquet in honor of the basketball team. Each year has seen a more successful bas­ketball banquet than the one before and the promoters of the affair for this year are making plans for a ban­quet which will surpass those of for­mer years.

It is at this annual affair that short talks are given by prominent sports writers and coaches. In ad­dition to this, letters are awarded to the players of the team, and a cap­tain is chosen for the succeeding year.

Although there may be some changes made in the list of guests and speakers, it is very probable that those whose names are given below will be present at this year's ban­quet. Among the coaches there will be: George Veenker, Michigan; Pete "Vaughn, "Wabash; Dutch Lonborg, Northwestern; "Walter (Doc) Mean-well, "Wisconsin; Dr. Carlson, Pitts­burgh; and George Keogan, Notre Dame, In addition to these, the fol­lowing sports writers will be present: Archie "Ward, of the Chicago Trib-une; "William Fox, of the Indianapolis News; and Jimmie Corcoran, of the Chicago Evening American.

Among the clergymen of the Uni­versity who have been invited are, the "Very Reverend Charles L. O'Don-nell, C.S.C, the Reverend Michael A. Mulcaire, C.S C., and the Reverend J. Hugh O'Donnell, C.S.C.

Norman Hartzer is the general chairman for the banquet, and his as­sistant chairmen are as follows: Ed Riley, arrangements; Louis Chapleau, speakers; Howard "Webster, entertain­ment; Tom Brandon, publicity; and Forest Hazen, tickets.

LAW CLUB DANCE CALLED "BEST EVER"

"The finest dance ever sponsored by the Notre Dame Law Club." That was the opinion of the 800 couples who atended the fourth annual Law Club Formal at the Palais Royale, last Friday evening.

Robert F. Eggeman, president of the Law Club, and John H. Flanagan, chairman of the Formal, deserve all the credit they will receive for their work in sponsoring the dance. These men, both seniors in the college, did all that could be expected of them, and the large crowd testified to the fact that their work was weU done.

Each of the chairmen of the dance, Raymond Sanduskey, Earle Ban-y, John Nelson, Morton Goodman, John Chevigny, Lawrence O'Connor, and Harrington Noon, as well as their as­sistants, deserves credit for his share of the work. The smoothness with which the entire affair was carried off, was, in itself, a compliment to their ability.

Marion Hardy and his Alabamians, dusky musicians of recording fame, furnished the music for the evening in a way that only a Negro orchestra can. Many novelty acts were per­formed by the musicians, and the dancing of Mr. Hardy was especially well received.

The reported attendance of 800 couples set a new attendance record for future Law Formals to rival. Eggeman and Flanagan announced this week that the profit accruing from the dance would be turned over to the business manager of the Notre Dame Lawyer to be used in the pub­lication of this magazine.

NOTICE! Contributions for Scrip —

poems, essays and plays—should be sent to Louis C. Heitger, 305 Walsh Hall.

BAND WILL GIVE BENEFIT CONCERT MARCH 19

The University Band will appear in South Bend, on the evening of March 19 in a concert at the Oliver Theater for the benefit of the new Nurses' Home of St. Joseph's Hospital.

The Band, under the direction of Joseph Casasanta, will present a full program. The selections to be played are very diversified and of wide mus­ical range. The famous "Victory March" and the "Hike Song" will be featured numbers, having been spec­ially arranged for the concert.

The ticket sale is in charge of the Ladies* Aid Society of the Hospital, and representatives will be on the campus. The price of the tickets is one dollar.

I UESDAY night will be a busy night for some because they consider Lent as something of an exile, to last until Easter. One last big splurge, then the jump-off into Stygian rectitude. Of course, I expect everyone to give up cigarettes for pipes, pipes for chewing tobacco, and licorice for snuff. Some might even change their brand of chewing gum just to fool the storekeeper. Dancing, even in the best regulated circles, will be absolutely taboo. The moving picture palaces will suffer terribly. The Granada and Colfax authorities may even be forced to send out representatives from the city to exliort the men to come down on Wednesday after­noons. The Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants' Guild will probably be forced to spread literature around to force them from the campus. Knees will begin to come out from long retreats in the stillness of the chapels.

I OR another week after that, I will listen to the prating visitors that come slyly into my room (after leaving dents in the door panel), and sympathize with their efforts to keep the thousand and one resolutions they have made. Then, too, there is the fellow who makes a resolution never to make a resolution. He also makes a lot of disagreeable noise.. The usual eight weeks' wail will rise and fall, and fall and rise. The Dining Halls will come in for a great deal of the useless winds blowing about every bull session on the campus. I t may even grow blustery in the West HaU. Steaks and French fries will come in for the annual deification and beans for their everlasting condemnation. The age of eggs, an old question, to my mind, will be dis­cussed pro and con, and will be passed up for more exotic, stranger things.

And now, that w e know what Archer Hurley has to go through every week, we will atempt as graceful an exit as possible and wish him the speediest of recoveries.

I GATHER from appearances .that the Junior Class is having a Prom at the Palais Royale Ballroom tonight. For the past two weeks I have been listening to the old excuse— "Oh, well, it comes but once a year." Yes, thanks, it comes only once a year. Tonight we will see the old, old story re-enacted all over again, sox by George, tux by Jack, shirt by Bill, shoes by Smitty, and collar buttons by Max Adlei*. The story began about noon today after such unimportant

things as corsages, and hotel rooms are arranged. Even my friend the Judge got "that way" and before long I will have to go over and examine, in him, the appearance of the whole Junior Class. For the tyro, I might mention that a big black spot on the shirt front is very nicely taken out by art gum. If none can be found—and it won't elide, soap and water will do. Thumbprints were made for ex­perts, and laundry comes high these days. Bill the Barber, by this time, is either moaning or groaning. Groaning at too much to do with all too short a time in which to do it. Moaning if there isn't enough to do and too many to do it. Then the final struggle into the cast and that horrible feel­ing at the first slump into the cab seat. The gasp at the, new gown that hasn't been seen since it was last made over —and the doors of the Palais. The entrance into the ball­room is something you are supposed to remember always, but memory sometimes fails one. Yet—it only comes once a year. It is over all too soon, and then next year it is the same except for the fact that instead of a flower garden in the center, there might be a laughing, tinkling fountain.

HIS time last week I was reminded by the writer of The Week that things do not seem to be as they are. Archer Hurley, time-honored writer of this page, didn't know half that when he mentioned it. I don't blame him at all for feeling hurt after placing his confidence in a railway at the wrong moment. Any\vay, another week pases, and we have another Week, such as it is, and another writer who is making a desperate attempt to follow his illustrious grandfather, who acquitted himself so nobly at Hastings.

OR a few days now, the aftermath will remain in the shape of ogling freshmen, staring sophomores and cynical seniors, not to mention the regretful juniors. The Crowd in the "caf" lasts longer after each meal, the crowd begins earlier before each meal for a few days, and then it is over until the Senior Ball, and sophomores and freshmen have something else to look forward to. If the weather is as nice as it is \vhen this is written, we will notice great­er numbers standing about on the campus, and on the street comers downtown. Hotel lobbies will look like the old vil­lage store, but as I said—^it only comes once a year.

LOUIS LEONARD HASLEY

I^^O

(Washington—Solus) This vineyard is a window for those souls Whose blood has seeped into the restless soil, And stained with crimson a blue wave that rolls Toward some dim horizon. Here, no toil. No sorrow, no regret; there, day and night Are laboratories where a white-haired Fate Takes portions of vast stores of right and might, And so works out the chemistry of state.

Here one may eat the fruit without the sin. Yet know the throbbings of his watered blood Within the furling wave, and hear the din Above the roiling of an angry flood; Here in my timeless sight I see the birth. The first faltering steps, the child, the youth, The man; all in one Now; the plangent earth . . I pluck a grape to soothe unsorrowed ruth.

The spirit in the vineyard mused and dreamed. Became as flesh and bone in his own child, Passed adolescence, youth, and then it seemed That his clean manhood was to be beguiled.

"Heart that j>oivnds a leaden hell Till it ring a silver strain, Free me from this earthen Hell, Set me free upon the main."

1812 The thunder and the lightning raged on high. But with the warm entreaty of his words Rolled softly back, leaving in the sky The music of a wedding feast of birds.

So to his quiet arbor then he turned And there upon a seat he built a scale. Sat smugly down, while strife and discord churned Within his proud interior coat of mail.

"I liave slept my youthful sleep And my ai-ms are broivn and strong; It is time for me to reap, Be the harvest right or ^urong."

To conquest of dark peoples and bright land Of palms and orange-frond he fought his way. Building his stately palace on the sand To flatter vain inhabitants of clay.

1844

1860

Held by the glitter of a despot's shield, Yet yearning for a lofty brotherhood. He quit the sunlight of the fragrant field For war within a dark and sunless wood.

"Hotv can ive knmv, hoxo can we hnoio Who guards the tvrong, who guards the right? We cannot knoio . . . can never hnoto . . . • We can only fight."

A tall and homely figure stalks the stage. Throws off the fetters and pulls down the bars. Receives his passage from his mortal cage And takes immortal place among the stars.

Soon brown graves turn to green, and yellow wheat Blows on the plains, wild flowers fringe the streams; Lovers exchange their kisses, breathless sweet, And love is dearer than life ever seems.

"Be quiet, heart! I hear a roar And I feel a dart . . . Joy is no inore."

The winds blow gently, and the clouds float by Serenely over tall untroubled trees, And sleepless Beauty hovers ever nigh To cool her cheeks against the mountain breeze.

The ever changing artistry of years Sees soldiers charging up a Cuban hill,

1898 Sailors triumphant, and a flow of tears To vindicate the avarice of will.

"Oh, for a ribbon of glory! Oh, for a quiet breath! Oh, for two hands not gory With the scarlet stains of death!"

Make way for Peace! The country must go on! . And spires rear their symphony of space; While all is hopeful as the strains of dawn Betray the power in the living face.

But blackened clouds obscure the sun once more, A leprous spectre rasps its raucous call,

1914 And over all the vicious vultures soar While men like hail lie thick where'er they fall.

"A cross of white To mark the spot Where for might or right One lies fargot."

The flares die down on No-Man's Land; the sun Climbs furtively the rim to view the scene. And little matters it who lost or won, Because the silver sword has lost its sheen.

Grim aftermath of tears and blood; then flight And wild cacophony of horn and fife Of vain escape in darkness and in night From all this parallelogram of life. But the blood within the rivers is not lost, For clearer eyes detect its warmer strain, WTiile love fraternal mourns its sacred cost, Yet feels a benediction with pain.

The spirit wakened with a heavy sigh And in the vineyard a bright i-adiance shone; He knew the binding of an earthly tie. He knew his child would never walk alone. His child would sometimes wander, that he knew. Sometimes to pass the nectar for the brine; And plucking off a grape all wet with dew He joined the wedding feast of bread and wine.

Seniors Hear Father Mulcaire, Stanton, Rear-In accordance with the traditions of

the University, the Class of 1930 ob­served the annual Washington birth­day exei-cises, February 22, in Wash­ington Hall. At ten o'clock the nieni-bei"s of the gi-aduating class, led by the deans of the respective colleges, proceeded from the Main Building to Washington Hall, where selections from Washington's farewell address were delivered by Walter Stanton, an Ode was read by Louis Hasley, and an acceptance of the American flag, iJre-sented to the University by the graduating class through its presi­dent, Raymond Eeardon, was de­livered by the Reverend JVIichael Mul­caire, C.S.C.

The following are the presentation and the acceptance speeches, delivered, respectively, by Raymond Eeardon, class president, and Reverend Michael M. Mulcaire, C.S.C, %'ice-president at the University, together Anth the speech of Walter Stanton.

• • j Raymond Reardon \ .> .>

"Reverend Father Mulcaire, Rev­erend Fathers of the Holy Cross Or­der, members of the faculty, and gen­tlemen of the Class of 1930.

"Thirty-four years ago the mem­bers of the graduating class of '96 assembled in this hall to pay tribute to our Univei-sity. Each ensuing year has brought another senior class within these cherished walls to recall the moments when Father Sorin iirst accepted the American flag and pub­licly recognized our Catholic love of God and country. Washington, sym­bolizing all that is God-fearing and liberty-loving, stands revered in mem­ory as the founder of our great re­public. So it was but fitting and just

•that the class of 1896 gathered here on the anniversary of his birth to ex­press their devotion to the principles for which he fought. Today we, the members of the Senior Class of 1930, have come to continue that honored tradition.

"The flag which is so dear to us all represents the power, the majesty, and the integrity of our government. It stands as an ever-present reminder of that document which declared all men to be endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that these rights are life, lib­erty, and the pursuit of happiness. I t recalls to us that our government

is but an expression of the sovereignty of the governed, a sovereignty -without religious or racial qualifications. I t represents the unblemished record of our people and the unsullied acts of our government. It signifies the lib­erty that inspired Washington, the spirit of freedom that imbued the sac­rifices of Lincoln, and the idealism that will immortalize the acts of Wil­son. In the memorable pai*ade at A 'ersailles in 1918, when the ambassa­dors and representatives from all the sovereign powers were 'assembled, when the flags of the nations they represented were dipped respectfully as they passed, it was our flag alone that refused to do them honor. And instead of the colors being dipped when our representatives passed, those Americans- stood and doffed their hats in obesiance to our Na­tional Emblem. Our flag stood as the only one in the world supreme in its significance, as the only flag which knew no sovereign other than the sov­ereign people which it represented.

"And so it is that we here at Notre Dame are thrice blessed. We have been given the opportunity of a sound education; we have been reared in the path of Catholics; and we have in­herited the rights and privileges com­patible with American citizenship.

"Father Mulcaire, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1930 I present to you this American flag. May it float over the campus of Our Lady and over the students of Notre Dame with the same magnificence with which it has floated these last thirty-four years. May it inspire in the hearts and minds of those beneath its i^rotection, the fer­vid patriotism so adequately depicted by the life of the man whose birth­day we are now commemorating."

-^ Father Mulcaire

"Gentlemen of the Senior Class: "As your president has said, you

have gathered here this morning to perpetuate an honored tradition of your Alma Mater which dates back more than thirty years. Washington's Birthday is one of those beautiful traditions of this University which has become more sacred as tl\e years have gone on—sacred in its signifi­cance because it commemorates the solemn pledge of unselfish loyalty of each graduating class to the exalted ideal of a true patriotism; sacred be­

cause it commemorates the consecra­tion to the holy purpose of faithful citizenship of young men who have all but finished their formal education, and are about to go out from the guiding influences with which the University has surrounded them into a world that has perverted notions of civic obligations; sacred, finally, be­cause of the hallowed memories it awakens of the bravery vnt\\ which those pledges have been kept by those who have gone before you.

"It is impossible for me to sit through this exercise, year after year, without recalling this same day thir­teen years ago when, as a member of the gi-aduating class, I took pax-t in the exercises in which you are taking part today. On that day the Class of 1917, through its president, pledged its devotion, as you have done, to the flag it presented to the University. Little did they anticipate, when the pledge was given, that before that flag would be borne to the altar on the day which was to be their day of graduation, to be blessed with the prayers and blessings of the Church, they would be called upon to leave books and friends and families, and follow it into foreign lands, there to suffer, and some of them to die, as testimony that their pledges, given here, were not idle woi'ds or their consecration an empty formality.

"The record of their heroic achieve­ments in the great struggle, has made forever sacred the ceremony at which you now assist, and their names, and the names of those who went before them and did not return, and who sleep today under foreign skies, are carved in glory everlasting at the door of the church they loved so well, where they learned, as you have learned, that the love of God and the love of Country are one and insepara­ble in the heart of every Catholic.

"Since those days of awful carnage, the world has lived in hope that the day would some time come when hu­man sacrifice would not be exacted in the settlement of international differ­ences. . Peace treaties have since been formulated to the end that those dif­ferences shall in the future be sub­mitted to the arbitrament of peace rather than force. But those dreams of peace have gradually been shat­tered, as it became more evident that the treaties were written with mis­givings and were accepted -with in­sincerity.-

"For the last month the eyes of the world have been fixed with fer­vent hope on London where the dele-, gates from the five great naval powers of the world are deliberating on the limitation of armaments. And yet from the beginning it has been e'vddent that the same insincerity and the same diplomatic intrigue have cast their shadows over that conference as they have over so many conferences before; while the delegates were talk­ing peace, they were thinking of war. And when, at last, they placed their cards upon the table and set forth in detail the claims they had come to urge, what do we find? Instead of a proposed limitation of the naval fighting strength of the nations there represented, which the world had hoped for, four of the five nations are about to begin the most elaborate pro­gram of naval expansion in their his­tories. Japan has stated its require­ments for national safety, which necessitates the expansion of its navy; France is determined it cannot trust its security to treaties, which it considers mere pious resolutions un­less protected by the sanction of a large fighting force; Italy will have to keep pace with France; and the American delegates estimate that a minimum expenditure of ?900,000,000 is necessary on the part of this coun­try to maintain a nominal equality with the fleet of England. And so the mad race goes on, and the hopes of the world for a lasting peace are be­ginning to fade, as they have so often faded before, and must of necessity continue to fade, so long as the lust for power and commercial supremacy, rather than the Christian principles of brotherhood and forbearance, dic­tate the international policies of the counsellors of nations. While national jealousies and national suspicions cast a shadow over .the conferences of na­tions, the hope of a lasting world peace is but a will-o'-the-wisp.

"What the future may have in store, we do not know. I pray that none of you may ever be called upon to redeem the pledges of loyalty you have given this morning to the flag of your country on the field of battle. Should that day ever come, I know that you would write as glorious a chapter in the annals of Notre Dame as any ever written by her sons who have gone before you.

"But there is a patriotism of peace as well as the patriotism of war, less

spectacular though it may be than that displayed on the field of battle, none the less essential to the continued welfare of our country. I have often felt that it is not quite so difficult to march in the uniform of a hero when bands are playing and drums are beating and admiring crowds are applauding, as it is to be loyal to the duties of honest citizenship in the every-day humdrum of ordinary life.

"You are going out into a world in which you will find distorted prin­ciples of patriotism and false notions of civic duty. You will meet, for in­stance, men and women who regard the exercise of the rigth of suffrage as a privilege to be used for personal ad­vantage rather than as a sacred duty to be exercised in the promotion of the welfare of the state or of the nation. You will meet men and women who seek political preferment or public office only because of the plunder which it may possibly afford them. You will come across those exaggerated nationalists who hold that the state can do no wrong, and that there are no individual rights, so inviolable, which the majority is obliged to respect. You will meet men and women whose respect for law is determined by their convenience, and whose attitude towards the funda­mental institutions of our national life is one of necessary toleration. Into that world you are now about to enter, destined by your educational opportunities to become leaders in the communities in which you may live. There it becomes your duty to preach by word and example the lessons of true patriotism which you have learned here.

"In behalf of the University, I am pleased to accept the flag which you present this morning. We have no doubt but that the high resolve which animates you today will inform your lives in the years to come, that the lofty principles of patriotism which have distinguished the men of Notre . Dame in other years, will inspire you to greater achievement in the cause of God and Country."

Walter Stanto7i I "Reverend Father Mulcaire, Rev­

erend Fathers of the Holy Cross Order, Members of the Faculty of Notre Dame, Gentlemen of the Class of 1930:

"We are commemorating today the anniversaiy of the birth of one of America's foremost statesmen. We are adding our tribute to the tradi­tional tribute that each year is ren­dered to George Washington by the Senior Class of Notre Dame. We are renewing in our minds the spirit, the purpose ,and the glory of our Ameri­can government, as it was expressed by the man who fought that we might live without tyranny and who labored for the perpetuation of a free people. We are recalling the salient words of advice and admonition of his famous farewell address in which he said: 'The unity of government which con­stitutes you one people is the main pillar in the edifice of your real inde­pendence, the support of your tran­quility at home, your peace abroad, your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so highly prize. The name American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, should always exhalt the just pride of patriotism. You have one religion, manners, habits and political principles. You have in common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence which you possess is the work of joint counsels, joint efforts, of com­mon dangers, sufferings and successes. This government, the offspring of your own choice, uninfluenced and un-awed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribu­tion of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing v.ithin itself a provision for its own amend­ment, has a just claim to your confi­dence and your support. Respect for its authority, acquiesence in its measures are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of govern­ment. But the constitution which at any time exists tfll altered by an ex­plicit and authentic act of the whole people is sacredly obligatory on all. The very idea of the power and the i-ight of the people to establish gov­ernments—^presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the govern­ment already established. Toward the preservation of your government and the permanency of your present happy state, it is requisite, not only that you discountenance irregular

Lent begins next Wednesday, and with its coming, the campus clubs assume a new responsibility on the campus. Notre Dame men have a splendid opportunity to deny them­selves pleasures such as movies, smokes, candy and danc­ing during Lent, but in i*eturn they must have some other sort of amusement. It is this amusement which the campus clubs must offer.

We consider this new responsibility the campus club must assume to be of the utmost importance. Club meet­ings have fallen off a trifle since Christinas, have risen a bit, and now they have fallen again. They may, at the time they are most needed, during Lent, fall off again, despite the fact that they can often do their best work during that period.

We know of several Club presidents and officers who are disheartened at the progress their clubs have been making. During Lent, they have a fine opportunity to arouse their clubs from lethargy.

Communion Breakfasts have long been popular in the campus clubs. There might be -a great many more of them during this Lent. Ordinary meetings might also be held oftener, if nights could be chosen for the meetings that will not interfere with other events in the program of the members. The Prefect of Religion, I am sure, would be only too glad to offer, if the Clubs consider it at once, hours in which the Club might take care of a day's or an evening's perpetual adoration. It has also been called to our attention that several clubs have placed many of their members on committees to consider entertainment for the Easter vaaction. In other clubs, meetings are to be held at wliich individual members ^vill read papers. Still others are arranging details for banquets and smokers be­fore Easter. Of course there are others worrying about payment for their Dome pictures. The Campus Club Editor suggests again in this page that those club officers who wish to see the group pictures of their clubs, and suggest types of the write-up desired, might come to room 7A in Science Hall. If this is not done by Friday of next week he will write the kind he thinks best.

Tlie PRESIDENT'S CLUB will meet again next Sun­day morning, in the Law Building, at ten o'clock. Presi­dents of all the clubs on the campus are asked to attend.

The SPECTATORS held their usual meeting last eve­ning in the Library. Interesting discussions were held over papers presented by Victor Martzel and Thomas Keegan.

The DETROIT CLUB has arranged a program for Easter Monday night, which is also Universal Notre Dame Night, in Detroit. The Alumni of Detroit offered several programs to the undergrad Detroiters for consideration—a banquet, a smoker, followed by a dance—^and a dinner dance. President Sullivan of the Campus Club informs us that the club members believe that the dinner dance wjll be the most practical and that because of the hardships

which would arise if the Campus Club officers took over the details, the alunmi have been asked to take charge of the affair.

The SPANISH CLUB is again going along smoothly, after its recent election of officers. Meetings are held each Thursday evening at 7:30 in the Law building.

The PHILADELPHIA CLUB, Harry Francis tells us, is considering a banquet for the Easter Vacation. A meet­ing is to be held soon for appointing the various com­mittees.

Tim Toomey of the CONNECTICUT VALLEY CLUB appointed Ray Snyder chairman of a committee for a ban­quet last Wednesday evening. The banquet is to be held within the next two weeks.

The GRAND RAPIDS CLUB will hold its next meet­ing, we are told, on March sixth, at 8:00 p. m. in the Law Building. From the write-up, we gather that the club is intending to hold an Easter Party. Committees will be appointed at this meeting for both the party and for a banquet to be held for the members of the club later.

The AUBURN CLUB promises to hold a meeting with­in a very short time. It is their intention to offer some sort of entertainment on the campus either just before, or right after, the Easter Vacation.

The METROPOLITAN CLUB has been holding several meetings here lately on which we have not been able to secure information. I t will suffice to say that they have probably been very active.

The BOSTON CLUB is holding a meeting \vithin the next two weeks. The club plans something in the way of entertainment for its individual members.

The CHICAGO CLUB, which some time ago mentioned something about a handball, and even an indoor base­ball tournament, has given us ho further information on that subject.

The CLEVELAND CLUB intends to keep up its ac­tivity begun recently with banquets, meetings and tourna­ments. Their pool tournament plans are progressing rap-idljr.

Our atention is called to the fact that we failed to mention a meeting of the NEW JERSEY CLUB a week or so ago. This club, until two weeks ago, had been some­what inactive since Christmas and its secretary is some­times hard to find. There are at least three places in which write-ups for Clubs may be left for the Campus Club Editor of the SCHOLASTIC.

The A. S. M E. postponed its meeting from last Mon­day evening to March 17th when they will hold a joint meeting with the ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. An at­tempt has been made to secure for the speaker at this meeting, Mr. Stout, of the Stout Air Lines.

SWANS AND rALCCNS An event occasioning considerable comment in New York City, at the present time, is the per­

formance of a company ol. Chinese actors, who number in their midst, as their chief attraction, a man generally held to be the leading actor of the Orient. The whole art of Chinese acting is in graceful and eifective movement of the body; it has a close kinship with the dance, and disdains the more ob\ious expression of emotion and feeling afforded by concentration on words.

Some writers, and especially some prominent representatives of the more active fields of con­temporary life, have criticized this manner of expression because, so it seems to them, quick action and attainment of the immediate end are sacrificed to slow expressiveness and a measured indifference to success for its own sake.

Strictly speaking, these men are quite right. But at this point, the whole matter sheds the cloak of immediacy and provincialism, and becomes symptomatic of a general state of mind existing in con­temporary society.

Today, action for its own sake, and prompt winning of anything to which the mind gives its attention, are viewed as means to the ends that are implicit in them—^more action and more mn-ning. But this is plainly a vicious circle; an ordered and intelligent conception of existence must consider Life as a calm and considered progress from one state of being to another.

Along the way there will be countless opportunities to experience^a complete realization of the beauties of that wayfaring. Action and success are not ill advised means by which the path may be more easily trod; but it is quite necessary that they be seen as nothing more, at best, than a good walk­ing stick. If we stop along the way and give all our attention, to that which assists us in our walk, we soon t^vist a straight and effective staff into a circled whip.

In their owai way the methods of the troupe of actors, mentioned above, are representative of one manner of holding to the right path; their critics make the mistake of measuring the far-stretch­ing road by a stick that has curled into a circle.

Our lives are quiet lagoons into which float the swans of the days; they may bring trouble and sorrow and grief, but none is altogether ungainly; and when from the backs of great flocks of these swans the falcons of the years gently rise into the air, we realize that beauty and grace and magnificence are the final and only criterions of action—and are in themselves, if we may use the word in its finest sense, success! —M. H. L.

THE JLNI€I2 PK€M Tonight the Junior Class of Notre Dame celebrates, socially, its third year at Notre Dame, and,

fittingly, it celebrates with music and cheer and dancing. Tonight the Juniors are paramount. Notre Dame and South Bend belong to them. They will gladly accept the well wishes of the entire Uni-versitj'' in staging their annual Promenade.

Three chapters are near completion in their lives in the University. They are fine chapters. Men of '31 have been prominent in practically every campus activity. From their ranks almost all branches of sport have received representatives. Juniors are members of the football, basketball base­ball and track squads. They have composed a large part of the membership of the debating teams. Thej'- are outstanding in the fields of literature, art music.

Soon the span of college years will be over for the Juniors. One more year and they- too, will take their place among the graduates of the University. One more year and they will step/ .t of the care­free life and enter manhood, when certain responsibilities must be shouldered by them. The Uni­versity will graduate the class of 1931 next year knowing full well that they will carry high the ban­ners of Notre Dame. Tonight we rejoice with the Junior class.

For the past six weeks the various committees have worked earnestly and industriously for the success of the dance. May the Prom of 1930, with its large nimiber of cosmopolitan guests, be the best in the history of the University! —J. E. B.

In the Holy Cross paper we find a list of traffic rules which are posted at the Central Police Station in Tokio, Japan. We reprint the rules here for the benefit of any of our readers who contemplate a journey to that country, as well as for the enjoyment and education of all others. The rules are:

1. At the first rise of the hand police stop rapidly. 2. Do not pass him or otherwise disrespect him. 3. When a passenger of foot hove in sight tootle the

horn. Trumpet at him, melodiously at first, but if still obstacle your passage, tootle him with vigor and express by word of mouth a warning "Hi-Hi."

4. Beware of wandering horse that he shall not take fright, as you pass him by. Do not explode exhaust box a t him as you pass by, go soothingly by.

5. Give big space to the festive dog that shall sport in the roadway.

6. Go soothingly in the grease mud as there lurks the skid demon.

7. Avoid entanglement of dog with your wheel spokes. 8. Press brakes of the foot as you roll round the corner

to save collapse and tie-up.

A certain professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has declared in a speech before a group of students that bridge playing is the "lowest depth to which a human can fall." Pardon us while we permit ourselves the luxui-y of a hearty guffaw. If this professor be correct, we shrink from tliinking of how many utter degenerates there are in our glorious country. We can, however, partly agi-ee with the professor in another statement of his to the effect that bridge playing as a pastime is entirely with­out value and is a thief of hours that could be spent in in­finitely more profitable ways. We confess this agreement, moreover, with a full realization that it will probably evoke, from such of our readers as are acquainted with our total lack of ability at the game, numerous cries of "Sour, grapes!"

Incidentally, we desire here and now to disclaim any and all responsibility for the two paragraphs we discovered in the Parade of last week that had to do with Berlin, horses, executioners, and other things. Those two para-

• graphs were impostors who slunk into our column by means unknowTi to us. Certainly it is difficult enough for us to bear up under the barrage of sneers which inevitably greet our column, without having to suffer also the consequences of the ravings of someone else. That's what we consider as something just about like the final wisp that crushed the dromedary's full-laden hump.

I t seems that Ohio State students can get thrown out of theaters just as ungracefully as can students of any other university which we know, A few weeks ago about 40 College of Dentistry students went into a Columbus theater with the evident intention of enjoying themselves. We present herewith a few excerpts from the story of the affair, as set forth in the Ohio State Lantern:

"The show was in full sway, and so were the boys. Comedians came upon the stage with wisecracks and clever repartee, only to be hissed at by the prospective dentists; dancing ladies fleet-footed across the stage, much to the delight of the audience—all except the army of teeth-pullers, who exhibited the powerfulness of their lungs with yells and razzing during the songs and dances.

"Then came the ushers with the emphatic request that the students would either have to discontinue the merry­making or else, but to no avail. It seemed that they would rather else. Again came the whistling and cat-calls, and one student even arose during a feature and, imitating a hawker, endeavored to sell peanuts with a burst of oratory.

"Then came the manager, accompanied by two stalwart men of the law, who dogmatically informed the boys that the show had just terminated—for them. In a group they stood up—and one by one 40 young men walked slowly and quietly from the amusement house."

"Chicago Professor to Make Hill Study," declares a head­line in the Syracuse Daily Orange. Well, all we have to say is that maybe he can make that fellow Hill study, but we'll give odds that he can't make any of our co-members here in Playboy Alley study.

Some professor of Cornell University has come fox'th with the statement that about eighty per cent of the average college freshman's time is spent in eight activities, which are, in order of time occupied: sleeping, attending classes, studying, eating, working for pay, walking, physical exer-" cise, and "bull sessions." This last named activity is defined as periods of informal conversation in which the under­graduates discuss every subject under the sun. Perhaps this order may be the actual one as applied to freshmen, but the Board of Directors in Playboy Alley, in solemn conference, decided that the proper order for that great organization is this: sleeping, bull sessions, attending classes, eating, walking, studying, physical exercise. Work­ing for pay was an activity which was not rated because the directors found themselves with absolutely no informa­tion on the subject. Also, they decreed that once Spring has come these changes in the order will take place: sleeping will be tied for first place with walking; studying will cease to be rated, because of insufficient data.

Speaking of freshmen, how about presenting some sort of medal to the freshman of the University of Furman who wrote this theme?

"We have a nice professor. He ain't so pretty like some others, but he is funny with jokes and stories and he parts his hair on the side of his head. He stays near the campus so when i t is bad weather and roads is too bad to go by he won't miss any classes. He wears on his head a little hat to keep the wind from blowing his hair all around, and sometimes totes an umbrella, but he is an awful nice pro­fessor to me."

Wabash Trounces Cagers — 21-16 Little Giants A v e n g e Previous

Vic tory; Notre D a m e Five

OflF Color

THE Little Giants of Wabash Col­lege handed Coach George Keo-gan's Notre Dame five their

sixth defeat of the season last Satur­day evening at Cra\\Tfordsville. The score of 21-16 indicates just about how much the do\\Ti-staters outplayed the Blue and Gold.

Grabbing the lead soon after the opening whistle, Wabash was never headed, nor even in danger of losing their lead. Notre Dame showed a complete reversal of the form they displayed in the Michigan State game last week. Their passing was in­accurate, dribbling poor, shots wild, and their teamwork anything but that shown a few days before on their home court.

Coach Pete Vaughn's men were "on." Their tricky and speedy pass­ing attack bewildered the Blue and Gold five. The tightness of their de­fense is shown by the fact that Notre Dame failed to score in the first fif­teen minutes of the second half.

The score at the half was 1-3 to 7 in favor of the winners. Notre Dame outscored their opponents by 9 to 8 in the final period, but Wabash's lead was too much to overcome.

Howell, Wabash floor guard, was high point man of the night with four field goals to his credit. Groves, his teammate, chalked up two goals and three fouls for second honors for the winners. Ed Smith's work was easily the best for Notre Dame. Besides sinking three baskets and one free throw, Ed played his usual flashy floor game.

Trackmen Engage In Dual Meet With Badgers Coach John P. Nicholson and his

Notre Dame track squad left this morning for Madison, Wis., where they will meet the Wisconsin track­men in a dual meet tomorrow after­noon. Approximately thirty runners, together with Senior Manager An­thony Kegowicz, made the trip.

Wisconsin is represented this year by an unusually well-balanced team. They boast a clean slate thus far this season, having bested Northwestern, Chicago, and Ohio State in a quad­rangular meet several weeks ago and

then they thoroughly swamped the Gophers, of Minnesota, last week, at Minneapolis.

Last year the Badgers took the Blue and Gold into camp by some thirty points. Therefore Notre Dame is out for revenge tomorrow and will be hard to beat. Darling, who was left at home last week because of illness, and Fishleigh, who was spiked in the Indiana meet, are both expected to be in action tomorrow.

The team will return to the Uni­versity Sunday.

Four G y m Records Broken A s

Coach Nicholson's Boys

Best Hoos iers

B REAKING four Indiana field-house records. Coach John P. Nicholson's Blue and Gold thin-

lies defeated a strong, well-balanced Indiana team last Friday night, 44 to 42, at Bloomington. It was Notre Dame's third straight victory and Indiana's first defeat of the season.

In the course of the evening seven fieldhouse records fell, and another one was tied. Marty Brill tossed the shot a distance of 43 feet 11 inches to take first place and annex the record for that event. John Abernathy returned to his old form and added more than an inch to the record in the high jump, when he cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 7-8 inches. Jolmson was the first man to clear more than 12 feet in the pole vault and set a new record of 12 feet 6 inches. Alex Wilson took the meas­ure of Abe Streicher, of Indiana, in the 440 and in so doing set a new record of 512-10 seconds.

Leas and Clapham, Indiana's star distance men, set new marks in the two mile and mile runs respectively. Leas' time was 9:41, and Clapham covered the mile in 4:24 4-10. The Indiana mile relay team ran their race in 3:30, six seconds faster than the record held by these same four men.

Bill McCormick won his beat in the preliminaries of the 60-yard dash in 6 3-10 seconds to tie the fieldhouse record. Bill later won the finals in 6 4-10.

Alex Wilson was, without a doubt, the star of the meet. Besides his record-breaking performance in the quarter-mile Alex came home ahead of the field in the 880-yard event. His time in this race, 2:00 8-10 sec­onds, narrowly missed being a new record.

Todd, by virtue of three seconds, and Clapham, with a first and a sec­ond, were high-scorers for Indiana

with nine and eight points respec­tively.

Notre Dame scored the only slam of the day when McCormick, Boagni, and Cummings firashed in that order in the sixty-yard dash. Hatfield, of Indiana, won from Johnny O'Brien in an extremely close finish in the 70-yard high hurdles. Roy Bailie took third.

At a meeting of baseball candidates last week, over 90 aspirants to var­sity honors responded. Of that num­ber 25 are pitchers. And a large number of expeiienced men is to be found on the list. Coach George Keogan will have 25 veterans on the roster this season, from which a fast moving combination may be chosen. Keogan stressed to his men the fact that the univei-sity is seriously con­templating the dropping of baseball from the list of major sports next year.

If a creditable shelving is made by the Notre Dame outfit in competition this year, the university cannot dis­card baseball, it was pointed out. Among the pitchers who are expected to come through this season, the names of Dilley, Mannix, Lisicki, Dor-vnn, DelPrete, and Palt are prom­inent. The last two were members of the freshman squad last spring, and turned in a very creditable show­ing.

Practice for all candidates will be held for the first time next Monday. The men will continue the workouts in the gym until the weather permits outdoor practice. Seven games will be played on the home lot this year.

If the Florida trip materializes, the squad will play two games at Gaines­ville, Fla., two at Fort Benning, in Columbus, Ga., and two against Geor­gia Tech, at Atlanta.

avenge the previous 28 to 20 Notre Dame victory two weeks ago on the Butler floor.

Reynolds, Evans, and Christopher of Butler were the stars of the initial tilt between the two teams. Eeynolds scored two field goals and three fouls for a total of seven points. Butler had a state championship team last year and has retained many of the players who have filled the ga"p3 left by ineligibility and graduation during the past month.

Before losing Hildebrand, Hosier and several other star performers, Butler trounced such teams as Pur­due, conquerors of Loyola, 36-29, and Chicago, 28-21, besides other power­ful western quintets.

Ray DeCook and Ooney Donovan were the Blue and Gold stars in the game several weeks ago, both drop­ping in four field goals. Donovan added five free throws and DeCook four.

The game tonight will be the last home appearance of Captain Ooney Donovan, Ed. Smith, Jack McCarthy, and Marshall Kizer and a capacity crowd is expected to fill the gymna­sium to view the contest.

The track men of Freshman Hall added another victory to their grow­ing list last Saturday afternoon when they dowTied the Froebel High squad, of G^ry, in the University gymna­sium. By taking five firsts and six seconds ths Notre Dame freshmen piled up 50% points to their op­ponents 44%.

The pole-vaulting of Wonswitz of Froebel, who cleared the bar at 12 feet 8 inches, was the feature of the meet. Brantford of Freshman put the 12-pound shot 47 feet 6 inches to win by a comfortable margin. Billing and GaiTett, both of Freshman, ran good races to place one-two in the 60-yard dash. Dilling's time was 6 2-5 seconds.

Anthony, Froebel's dusky distance star, defeated Troy of Fi-eshman by about six inches in the mile run. Anthony's sprint on the last 220 overcame Tx'oy's fifteen yard lead. His time was 4:51.

FOOTBALL RELAY TEAM WINS AT BUFFALO

Notre Dame's football relay team won the special 880-yard relay of the Buffalo A. C. games last Friday eve­ning. With Frank Carideo, Bucky O'Connor, Moon Mullins, and Cap Kaplan each running 220 yards, the Blue and Gold pigskin artists easily outdistanced the University of Buf­falo team.

The running of O'Connor was the feature of the event. Bucky was timed, unofBciallj^, in 25 seconds for his leg of the race.

Franklin 0''Marah, assistant Senior Track Manager, who is a Buffalo boy, accompanied the men on the trip.

Morrissey and Sophomore fives are still leading the heavyweight and lightweight divisions, respectively, in the interhall basketball league. Nei­ther team has suffered defeat in com­petition and still maintains the high average.

* * *

St. Edward's team furnished the most surprising upset of the inter­hall league season when Sophomore's "galloping horsemen" fell victim to the Blue and Grey attack.

Two hundred and fourteen entrants from six halls is ample testimony of the popularity of interhall track this season. Seven more halls in competi­tion by March 1 should furnish fire-woi'ks galore. The wnners meet in the finals March 15.

* * *

Bob Law, of Morrissey, is setting a fast pace for interhall scorers with a total of 62 points while Harrison, of Carroll, has amassed 46 to take second place in the scoring ladder.

* * *

Waterson, Sophomore, in the light­weight league has garnered 66 points with Rohrbach, Badin, in the runner-up position with 51.

* * *

Morrissey holds the league scoring record to date with a 54-7 win re- . corded against Howard.

HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION'

Morrissey meets Brownson heavies in a playoff of a postponed game on Monday, March 3, at 9 p. m. Other playoffs will take place after the close of the regular schedule.

* 4 *

Much interest has been aroused in anticipation of the championship games between Morrissey and Badin on Sunday, and the Morrissey- Soph­omore game on Thursday. These two games will probably draw the largest crowds of the league season.

Brownson, Carroll, St. Edward's, Sophomore, "Walsh, and Moi-rissey Halls, will compete tomorrow night in the second of the two sectional track meets being held to select the competitor-s in the final meet of the season. The finals are to be held one week hence, on Saturday, March 15.

:{: ^ ^

The Morrissey Lites finally won a game; but the only way they could win was by a forfeit, as, so it seems, Howard failed to put in its appear­ance at the scheduled time.

Lyons' two teams are rushing along at top speed. The Heavy and Light­weight teams rest in second place in both of those leagues. Concurrent games may change the standings suf­ficiently to reward them with the titles. But that theory is thin, the way Morrissey Heavies and Soph Lites have been playing.

opposition to its acknowledged au­thority, but also that you resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its pi-inciples—^however specious be the px-etext.

" 'Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political pros­perity religion and morality are in­dispensable supports. In vain would a man claim the tribute to patriotism Avho should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firm props of the duties of men and citizens.

" 'Against the insidious vnles of foreign influence the jealousies of a free people should be constantly awake. Since foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republi­can government, it is our true policy to steer clear of •permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.'

"These, gentlemen, are the words of George Washington, our first presi­dent. They explain the fundamental principles of our government. If the time should ever come when equal rights are temi)orarily displaced by special privileges, if the nations should be stirred by the knowledge of the dishonesty of our officials, if we should learn of scientific bribery and paid lobbying in our national capitol, if the very foundation of our repre­sentative government is shaken by rottenness and corruption in positions of trust—^then, gentlemen, recall again the principles of government as ex­pressed in this farewell address. Re­member that the trunk of the insti­tution is sound and that if the limbs of the tree have become decayed they can well be pruned. Tlie principles of liberty, morality, and national iso­lation, as expressed by Washington, are the criteria of our conduct. And these principles can only be main­tained in the spirit of sacrifice and faith in which they wei-e instituted."

•K- Freshman and Howard Lead in Track Meet •?

In the first of the preliminary Interhall track meets on the program for this month, six teams, represent­ing Freshman, Howard, Lyons, Sorin and Off-Campus entered 214 men in the ten events. The meet turned out to be hardly more than a dual meet between Freshman and Howard, with the former' winning, 54% to 40%, but despite tliis the contest served to show the great amount of interest in the sport, around the campus The entries in the various events were divided as follows: Dash, 39; Hur­dles, 24; 440-yard, 15; 880-yard, 14; mile, 18; shot put, 24; high jump, 26; broad jump, 23; pole vault, 13; and relay, 18.

Lyons Hall took third place with four points, Sorin scored three, and Corby and Off-Campus one each.

Garrett, of Howard, ran the sixty in 6 5/10 seconds to take first place in that event. He also won the 65-yard low hurdles, and placed second in the broad jump to win high-scor­ing honors for the evening, with thir­teen points.

Jack Cannon, the iron man of Sorin's four-man team, entered every event on the program but succeeded only in taking seconds in his heats of the dash and hurdles, neither acMevements qualifying him for the finals.

Vejar's leap of 21 feet 8 inches won the broad jump for Freshman, but he was closely pressed by Garrett and Abbatemarco, both of Howard. Ab-batemarco also took second in the dash, and fourth in the high jump to score six points for the Gold-Coasters.

Malan and Jaskewich, both of Freshman, tied at 11 feet in the pole vault. St. Clair, of Howard, and Ves-sely, of Freshman, cleared the bar at 10 feet 6 inches.

To the list of "Great Competitors" add the names of John Abernathy, James Slattery and Martin Brill.

* * *

Bill Cunningham, sports philoso­pher of the greatly esteemed Boston Post, rises to protest against the free and easy use of the terms "bravery" and "courage" in the reports of certain sports events. He decries the use of tliese terms in sports such as golf and tennis, and claims that they may only be used in writing of sports in which there is physical contact, save, he says, in the instance of a player in a non-contact game who labors on although under a physical handicap, such as a turned ankle or a cramp.

And one cannot help agreeing with Mr. Cunningham. There has been entirely too little restraint placed upon the use of the terms he mentions. Writers have used them so much and so lightly that they have become cheapened and well-nigh meaningless. But we think that there are one or two non-contact sports in

which the terms "bravery" and "cour­age" may well be used in describing a competitor's performance. Surely Mr. Cunningham has seen men col­lapse at the end of a foot-race, and even more surely—^has Mr. Cunning­ham seen the members of an eight-oared crew bowed semi-conscious— over their sweeps after a hard-fought race.

In basketball as in other sports, the end of the season finds upsets oc-curing more and more frequently. Wabash's victoi-y the other night may be classed as such, even though the Little Giants held the ball for some thirty of the forty minutes of play. The victory of the mediocre Columbia team over Syracuse was probably the most sensational upset thus far. Moreso, since the Orange was in a fair way to gain recognition as National Champion.

When Horton Smith beat Bobby Jones last Saturday in the Savannah open he was the fifteenth man to beat the great southerner in medal play championships in the last eight years. No golfer has accomplished this feat more than once, however!

Habitual smokers on the Univer­sity o£ Washington track team are not required to stop smoking. Facul­ty members have asked them to con­tinue smoking in order that they may determine the effect of nicotine. All very well, but what about the track coach ? And the morale of the team ?

Bra{lford Lair, of Monticello, Ken­tucky, is quite an asset to the local basketball team. Standing 6 feet, 9% inches, he can reach as high as ten feet, one inch, and has little trouble in dropping the ball into the basket instead of throwing it in. He has averaged 24 points a game this season.

>= ^ ^ Larry Johnson, latest colored fistic

sensation, is rapidly learning that the way of the negro in the ring is a rough one to travel. He decisively defeated Pete Latzo the other day, only to see the fight given to the for­mer miner by one of the worst de­cisions ever handed down anj-where. But that has been the story in the past of every colored prize-fighter. Sam Langford, Joe Gans, and Peter Jackson are only a few of the great colored prize-fighters whose color has been a handicap to them.

^- NOTRE DAME GRABS SEEK COACHING FAME

Three Notre Dame graduates were the recipients of coaching- positions during the past week. John Law, 1929 football captain, was named head football mentor at Manhattan College Law succeeds Joseph K. Schwarber, who resigned. Law was named as assistant to Schwarber some weeks ago and was moved up to the head coach's position when Schwarzer resigned to enter business.

Richard (Red) Smith, member of the Notre Dame baseball teams of '25, '26, and captain in '27, and of the foot­ball teams of '26 and '27, was selec­ted as baseball coach at Georgetown University. Smith was with the New York Giants for a year as catcher, later going to Montreal in the Inter­national league. The last year was spent with the Boston Braves in the National league. Smith's appoint­ment at Georgetown gives that school's athletic department five for­mer Notre Dame men. Head Coach

Tommy Mills, John Colrick, Ed Col­lins, Tim Moynihan, and now Red Smith comprise the list of former Notre Dame men.

Harry O'Boyle, football star on the "Four Horsemen" team of 1924,1925, and 1926, and players on the baseball squads of the same three years, has been named coach of football, baseball and basketball at St. Anselm's Col­lege, in Manchester, N. H. O'Boyle succeeds John J. Mitchell, former Holy Cross athlete, who has held the post for the past four years.
