(.Continued on page 3, col. 4) Retreat Master Discusses Views on Social Reform A contrast to the theme of mental calm which he had emphasized during the recent retreat was the energetic social program outlined to future so ciologists by the Reverend Ralph A. Gallagher, S. J., of Loyola university, authority on sociology and criminol ogy, during a talk sponsored by the sociology department, on Feb. 17. Describing the double burden of the Catholic taxpayers who support state agencies as well as those of their own faith, Father Gallagher urged that Catholic institutions fight for state subsidies. Keep the Catholic agencies up to standard requirements, he said, and state aid will be more easily obtained. Train our Catholic social workers thoroughly and when there is oppor tunity for important positions Catho lics will qualify to fill them. In an earlier interview with the Skyscraper, Father Gallagher related his experiences along lines of crimin ology and advanced as a cause of crime lack of religious and moral training. Admitting that there is no great demand for women on the staff of prisons, Father Gallagher declared that there is a definite need for trained sociologists to serve as pro bation officers. Announce Creative Writing Contest; Deadline April 5 The English department has chosen Catholic Press month as tlie time to an nounce its annual Creative Writing con test, entry to which is open to any student in the College.

Is New York a Vital Part of My Culture? Is New York a Place to Launch a Career? Students in English classes are also being encouraged to enter the New World letter contest, sponsored each w:cek during February. Writes Interview For Queen's Work The current issue of the Queen's Work, national 'Sodality publication, carries a signed feature article by Julia Mary Hanna, co-feature editor of The Skyscraper and student press representa tive for the College. An interview with Quin Ryan, youth ful manager of radio station WGN, the article traces the career of the famous announcer from his student days at Loy ola academy and Northwestern university. Including a summary of WGN suc cesses from the first broadcast of an Illin ois game, the article closes with a rescrip- tion of the Tribune's new broadcasting studios and the conclusion that WGN is typically Chicagoan and Quin Ryan is WGN's inspiration.

Other topics included In creased Requirements in Teacher Train ing and the Basic Purpose of Illinois Col leges. Observe Catholic Press Week With Joint Class, Sodality, Library Work Delegates Attend Catholic Press Congress in Milwaukee In order to stimulate a more intense Catholic-consciousness in school pulica- tions, a Catholic Educational Press Con gress, the first national meeting of the Cathoiic School Press association, will be held at Marquette university tomorrow and Sunday. Faculty members and stu dents from Mundelein will attend the ses sions. Problems confronting the individual Christian today will be discussed in gen eral sessions by nationally known Cath olic leaders including Dr. Ross J. Hoff man, associate professor of history at New York university, Dr. Paul Hanly Furfey, acting head of the sociology de partment at Catholic university and the Reverend Daniel A. Lord, S.

O'Sullivan, director of the C. S. P. A. will be general chair man of the Congress. Score Last Puritan At Philosophy Meet The Reverend Arthur Kelly, S. J., professor of philosophy at Mundelein and Loyola, was guest speaker at the 'first meeting for the semester of Mu Nu sigma, on Feb. 10. The Last Puritan, famous as a novel by a contemporary philosopher, George Santayana, was the subject under dis cussion. Mary Geiger opened the meet ing with a paper on the author's life, after which Lorraine Horn and Jane Spald ing described the book and its characters in detail. Father Kelly's paper was devoted to an explanation of the thought of George Santayana as expressed in his works on aesthetics and an application of that thought to his novel. The book was in terpreted as dealing with the meaning of life, the why of right and wrong, and the consequent responsibility of Man. But Santayana makes duty the only motive for his hero's right acting, Father Kelly stated, and concluded: His futile quest ended, the life of Oliver comes to a futile end, and so, in my opinion, does the book. Over its many heavy pages hangs a cloud of unneces sary doubt. B.V.M.
