S. for all classes to Send Out Soccerites. Being the first interclass tourney of the year, and there fore a good indication of athletic enthu siasm, it is essential that the tourney be whole heartedly accepted. For a W. A.

Father Qoodwin Qives Views on Ethiopian War By Dorothy O'Donnell Affairs in Ethiopia and the reaction of various peoples to those affairs were among the topics discussed by the Rev erend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., professor of political science and director of the International Relations club, when he met the officers of the club at his home on Oct. 13. Smiling gently at the amazement we expressed on viewing his extensive libra ry, Father Goodman, at home in a typical scholar's room lined with an orderly ar ray of books and periodicals on economics and history, outlined a club plan for the year and then launched into a discussion of the European turmoil. Bidding us remember that the Ethio pians are not barbarians but highly civi lized people whose literature extends far back into the past, Father remarked that King Haile Selassie and his sons were educated in English schools. Considering the influence of the war on other peoples, Father Goodwin noted especially its reaction on the negroes, who, he declared, have become nation-conscious for almost the first time in their history. Refuting a current supposition, Father Goodwin remarked that the Italians are not desirous of colonies. On the con trary, the territory for which they are fighting, he observed, is practically un inhabitable, but they seek to secure it be cause of its rich resources. Concluding the interview, Father stressed the point that the Ethiopian con flict is a real war, and declared that any false move on the part of any great power might easily precipitate an even graver conflict. Notre Dame Professor Discusses Government Illinois Classicist Lectures on Horace Recalling passages from Horace's poetry which illustrate his philosophy of life, Dr. W. A. Oldfather, head of the classics department at the University of Illinois, opened the Mundelein celebra tion of the Horace bimillenium in a lec ture to the Classical club on Oct. 9. Horace lived the Golden Mean, de clared Dr. Oldfather, citing evidence of simplicity and moderation in his poetry, and commending especially his attitude of democracy toward his fellowmen in an age when political favoritism and so cial inequality were dominant. Secure himself within the inner circle of a social class torn by jealousies and favoritism, Horace remained gloriously independent, according to Dr. Oldfather, and the human quality which emanates from his poetry reflects the taste of a man, a poet, and a philosopher, unham pered in his pursuit of happiness, and un wearied by the approach of age. Wanted The Books You Used to Read Have a heart, search the attic, give a book, and cheer a child. The Catholic Literature academy of the Sodality will soon sponsor a drive for children's books for the library at the Sancta Maria Addolorata catechetical center. Particularly needed are books for children between six and ten years of age. Search your attics for some of those fairy tales that captivated you away back when; watch the bulletin board for further information, and sup port the Book Drive 300 College Students Attend Press Meeting (Continued from page 1, col. 4) The European vs. the American Press; Carrol Binder, foreign expert of the Chi cago daily news, whose subject was News of the World; Curtis D. Mc- Dougall, editor, Evanston news index; Professor E. Olson, Rutgers University School of Journalism; R. E. Blackwell, University of Louisiana, and many other prominent speakers. The characteristic feature of the gov ernment of the United States is its limit ed power, declared Dr. Clarence Man ion, professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Notre Dame, in an ad dress on Oct. 25. Stressing the importance of the re tention of the Supreme Court check over Congressional authority. Dr. Manion contrasted the freedom that citizens of the United States enjoy with that held by citizens of any other country in the world, not even Great Britan excepted. Italy has a dictator; Russia has a dictator; Germany has a dictator; and even England has a type of dictatorship, since the English parliament is supreme and final, declared Dr. Manion. Only in our own country do we find the type of limited government that is obliged to safeguard the private rights of each individual. Pointing out, further, the essential dif ferences that exist between changing principes of government and changing methods, Dr. Manion recommended that the students become familiar with their constitution and learn to discriminate be tween fundamentals and accidents of form. Envisioning a future in which science and invention will have eliminated many of the present sources of livelihood, Dr. Manion recommended that college stu dents develop their creative ability and their capacity for imaginative resource fulness. Present Constitution Of S.A.C. to College Formal presentation to the college of a framed parchment copy of the Stu dent Activities Council Constitution was the keynote of the Constitution Day con vocation on Oct. 17. Julia Hagerty, president of the S.A.C, presented the document, made specially for the occasion by the Art department. Artistically compiled, the parchment copy includes the signatures of the origi nal signers, the Council of 1933-34, Lenore Manning, Gloria Barry, Bernadette Cul- kin, Mary Nicholson, Margaret Grace, Irene Lavin, Agnes Gill, Mary Ann Walsh, Miss Hagerty, who wrote the con stitution, Lillian Scholzen, and Charlotte Wilcox, together with the signatures of the Council for this year, Miss Hagerty, Lillian Scholzen, Rita Smith, Helen Far rell, Rosemary Kearns, Virginia O'Con nell, Jeanne Devaney, Jean McKeever, Mary Margaret Smith, Gertrude Rafferty, Lorraine Manske, Helen Coleman, and Shirley Brice. Students Hear Sargent Talk on Paul Claudel By Jane Spalding Three members of the Stylus club, Mercedes McCambridge, Jane Spalding, and Loretta Brady, together with Helen O'Gara '32, presented Daniel Sargent, president of the Catholic Poetry Society of America, with late copies of the Col lege publications, on Oct. 7, and invited him to become an honorary member of the Stylus club. Mr. Sargent, who deserted his duties as professor of English at Harvard uni versity long enough to lecture at the Study club of St. Thomas the Apostle parish, where the Mundelein representa tives were guests of the Right Reverend Monsignor Thomas V. Shannon, accepted the honorary membership with sincere pleasure, and presented the club with his autograph. The subject of Mr. Sargent's lecture was Paul Claudel, French diplomat, con vert, Catholic apologist, poet, and familiar figure to twentieth-century literary circles. Mr. Sargent discussed Claudel briefly in each of his various characters, but more particularly, as a poet, who, while he did not consciously create a reaction against materialistic philosophy in poetry, did, in championing material things, become par adoxically the champion also of the sa cred, in that he proves a separation of the two to be impossible in true and beau tiful art. Freshmen Survive Initiation Qriefs Asylum for the slightly deranged might have been the verdict rendered by all who, on Oct. 22, heard 250 fresh men, arrestingly decorative with brooms, pale cheeks, unmatched shoes, and pla cards, sweetly ask some sophomores : Will you please torture me in any horrible manner you wish? Insane freshmen? No. They were merely complying with the rules laid down by the sophomores for the initia tion. Climaxing two preparatory days the formal initiation was held in the gym nasium, where our freshmen meekly, submitted to the punishments cleverly planned by Elenor Loarie and her com mittee members, Ellen Birnbaum, Magel Brown, Concetta Alonzi, Mary Lynch, and Lois Steffens. Academy Chairmen Conduct Sodality Group Meetings At the Student Spiritual Council meet ing on Oct. 9, Charlotte Wilcox, prefect of the Sodality, outlined the Sodality ac tivities for the year and formulated plans for the initial academy meetings which were held on Oct. 15 at 1 o'clock. At these group meetings, eight of which were held simultaneously, freshmen and new students were received as pledges of the Sodality, and the various chairmen explained the function of each group. Julia Hagerty, chairman of the Apos tolic academy, urged participation in Mis sion activities and signified the intention of giving special support this year to the Propagation of the Faith. Catherine O'Connor and Caroline Holland were elected treasurer and secretary, respect ively. With a following of 125 students, Jean McKeever launched activities of the Catholic Social Action committee, ex plaining that the principal work of her academy, affiliated with the Legion of Mary, will consist in the securing of Catholic literature for hospitals and similar institutions. The Eucharistic-Our Lady academy, according to Mary Rose Brown, spon sored a week-end of adoration in honor of Christ the King. All students in the College participated in the devotion by taking adoration in their parish churches. Mary Lynch was elected secretary of this group, and Virginia Gaertner is publicity chairman. Mary Frances Petrie, chairman of the Literature academy, suggested that each member of her group bring in an original article based on Catholic opinion on cur rent thought, thus inaugurating at the outset the creative activity of this group. Ella Jamieson, secretary, reported on sub scriptions to the queen's work. The Reverend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D., addressing the International Relations group, explained the purpose of the or ganization and summarized its history. Dorothy O'Donnell, chairman, announced a discussion of the Italian-Ethopian sit uation as a topic for the next meeting. Florence O'Callahan is secretary of this group, and Alice Young is treasurer. Ruth Quirk, presiding at the Catholic Evidence academy, appointed Veronica Kassis to prepare a talk on the authenti city of the Bible for the next meeting, (Continued in next column) May I introduce to you the myster ious Flutterby the social bug of Mun delein college who has the hardest position in the world keeping up with the fair damsels? But I did manage to take a peek in to the Delia Strada card party and dance given at the Tower Town club where those lassies, Maxine Lindsay, Alary Frances Sullivan, Ann Ellen Smith, and Violet Kilbane were hav ing a grand time with their laddies, dancing to the new Loyola orchestra. We're Loyal to You, Notre Dame seemed to be the theme song of Edith Coyne, Jane Healy, Nancy But ler, and Mary Dillon, on Oct. 11, for the Flutterby saw them having a glori ous evening at the Edgewater Beach hotel with handsome Notre Dame es corts Mary, never too tired, then jaunted up to Wisconsin, where both she and Dorothy Foy helped to cheer Notre Dame to victory. It is obvious that that South Bend college has scooped the Flutterby's col umn for this issue, for it claimed two more Mundeleinites for the Notre Dame Cotillion on Oct. 19, Virginia Cummings, and Ann Cahill, while Maxine Lindsay was among the other ardent fans at the Notre Dame-Pitts burgh game in the afternoon. Mundelein sophomores were well represented in the Walnut Room of the Bismarck hotel on Oct. 12, when the Flutterby reached there to celebrate Columbus' day. The group included Lillian Fegers, Marie Hughes, Grace Igleski, Eileen Kane, Catherine Ott, and Edythe Williams. Gowned in cherry velvet, Mae Sex ton made a lovely bridesmaid at her brother's wedding. At the end of a perfect wedding day she caught the bride's bouquet. Among the Mundelein students who are joining the Junior Auxiliary of the North Shore Catholic Women's League are Mary McNulty, Sarah Cardy, Honor and Kathleen O'Brien, and Mary O'Connell. Roma Murphy, senior drama major and president of the Laetare Players, is directing the production of bio hearted Herbert for the Catholic Central High School Alumni associ ation at Hammond, Indiana, on Oct. 27. This is the second play which Miss Murphy has directed. The first one was the show-off and was giv en by the Alumni association last February. T. A. Daly, Maisie Sheed Talk Here Next Month T. A. Daly, distinguished American poet, and Maisie Ward Sheed, English writer and lecturer, are among the speak ers listed for programs during the com ing month. Mrs. Sheed will speak on Nov. 7, and Mr. Daly on Nov. 21. Mr. Daly, who holds a professorship at Fordham university, lectured here two years ago, delighting his audience with readings of his own poems. Mrs. Sheed j spoke last year and inspired much inter est in the English Catholic Evidence Guilds. and instructed the members to be ready to heckle Miss Kassis in the approved Guild fashion. Ruth Kees is secretary of the academy, and Catherine Ann Dougherty is treasurer. Eileen Madden, chairman of the Litur gical academy, announced that a course in sacristy work and the meaning of the Mass will be given this year in her com mittee. Elizabeth Higgins was chosen secretary. The Braille academy, with the largest enrollment in its history, plans to tran- -cribe a variety of works this year, ac cording to Eileen Hettinger, chairman, who explained that her division will co operate with the American Red Cross in work for the blind.
