Sit-down strikers have proved to be an insistent Big Ben, and Rip, after futilely attempting to ignore the labor- capital problem by hiding his head un der a pillow of indifference, has sat up, shouted that something must be done about the situation, and then, putting a hand to his fevered brow, mumbled, What are we going to do ? The Chicago Daily News recently printed a front-page editorial captioned For an American Labor Policy, which gave to Rip Van Public his solution. It was gratifying to all Catholics who read this editorial to note that the Daily News labor platform and the labor platform sug gested in the papal encyclicals, Rerum No- varum and Quadragesimo Anno, are identical. Both the encyclicals and the current editorial emphasize that capital and labor depend upon each other, and that, for their general good and the general good of the public, it is necessary that both co-operate. It is the duty of the employer to rea lize that his employee is not merely a commodity, but is a human being with rights to a just wage and suitable working conditions. When the employer recognizes that his workers have a right to strike, and have the privilege of organizing and bargaining collectively for their de mands, when the employee recog nizes that his responsibility in produc tion is as vital as that of his employer and that by peaceful means he can gain his demands more effectively, then will the problem of the sit-down type of strike be eliminated. When both capital and labor realize their mutual obligations and interdependence, then will the Amer ican people have a labor policy worthy of their democratic ideals, and their heritage of Christian charity. Did You Mean it? W'OU laughed at Grand and Slam, at * the Picketers, and at Mr. Martin Merchandise Co. during the perform ance of One Night in a Card Room ; or Thickening Plots Aboard the SS. S. A. C. Led by Cap'n Henrietta, you sang with a will the parodies to Plenty of Money and You, Little Old Lady, and O Susanna. You left the auditorium in high spirits, feeling collegiate. The sponsors of the program, the Stu dent Activities Council, are awaiting the returns on their investment. Instead of sending in the top of a carton and ten cents to prove that you are interested, the S.A.C. asks that you send parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins to the Palmer House on April 22, after having duly informed them about offers for be coming patrons and advertisers. Then With Plenty of Money and You, More Than You Know, you're Shooting High for that Holiday April 16, 1937 Notre Dame Speaking., In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love . . . . Poetic illusions about the girls of their dreams may fill the minds of would-be poets, but sound advice on choosing this one-in-a-million was the subject of a recent Religious Bulletin issued by the University of Notre Dame. The requisites of an ideal wife, ac cording to the Bulletin, depend not on her starry eyes or her pearly teeth, but on her ability to keep her husband's love and reverence. The spirit of mutual sacrifice, both before and after marriage, insists the writer, lays an excellent foundation for happiness. Fear of spoiling the prospective bride seems uppermost in the mind of the editor, and he warns the collegians against giving expensive gifts and boast ful promises, since the spirit of self- sacrifice is born, not in self-indulgence, but in self-denial. The final bit of advice offered by the Bulletin is, perhaps, most practical for the girl in question. Look for a domes tic girl. If SHE won't soil her hands in dishwater, YOU will. Round Town / HICAGO stage offerings this month - gt; afford ample opportunity to forget worries of spring housecleaning or ap proaching comprehensives. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, last seen here in the energetic Taming of the Shrew, are cast in Robert Sherwood's anti-war play, Idiot's Delight, at the Erlanger. For the first time before the footlights, Mr. Lunt sings and dances in the role of an impromptu entertainer. xrou Can't Take It With You is a -* play which is at once laugh- and thought-provoking. The widely dis cussed activities of the eccentric Syca more family, from raising snakes to manufacturing fireworks, provide the mirthful portion of the program. Be neath the craziness of the lines is a philosophy, which, if not carried too far, would be of incalculable benefit to man kind in a tense and modern world. Relax, says grandpa Vanderhof, Once it seemed pretty important to me whether Blaine or Cleveland was elected president. Today it doesn't make much difference. The entire play advocates a policy of taking things as they come and a yield ing to one's inclinations to enjoy life, even though unconventional occupations such as snake raising are the result. Com plications arising from the existence of one inhibited member of this otherwise uninhibited clan are worked out satis factorily. Grandpa Vanderhof, portrayed by Aldrich Bowker, is outstanding in this cast of many stars. A SURE sign of spring is the appear ance of the Cole Brothers' Circus starring Ken Maynard and Clyde Beatty, which opens today at the Sta dium. 1080 people and 812 animals will participate in the scheduled short run. THE famed Paulist choristers, di rected by the Reverend Eugene O'Malley, will give a concert at Or chestra Hall, on April 28. Two small boy sopranos will be featured on the program, which will benefit the Paulist Choir summer school. World on Parade CAN you sing? If not, begin to fre quent the seventh floor immediate ly, for Dean Arthur C. Becker, of the De Paul university school of music, is advising college men to be sure that the girls they intend to marry can sing. To quote Dean Becker, Girls who can't carry a tune can't be expected prop erly to time the broiling of a steak. An unmusical girl overcooks, undercooks, and half-bakes a meal. Nothing is so unhar- monious to a home as chronic indigestion. A.C.P. Modern girls wouldn't be heart-broken if they never married, because they have enough resources within themselves to make a successful, well-rounded life, says Dr. Jean Mcndenhall of Boston university's college of physical educa tion. A.C.P. The next time you cut classes within 24 hours of a vacation, grin as you get a thought that this same infraction of rules costs any violator 5 at Pennsyl vania State college. Entrance to classes is barred until the fine is paid. A.C.P. Sermons of today's gloomsters, who view the world with alarm, are much like those preached scores of centuries ago, in the opinion of Dr. Frederick C. Perry, president of Hamilton college, on the basis of writings taken from an As syrian tablet, dated 2800 B.C. The earth is degenerating in these latter days, reads the ancient slab. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption abound. The children no longer obey their parents. Every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is speedily approaching. A:c.p. An anonymous Adrian college student declares that going with college girls keeps him young- I started going with them four years ago when I was a freshman, he declares, and then adds, and I'm still a freshman. A.C.P. A poll at Haverford has puzzled the psy chologists and delighted the radio dealers. The house with the most radios leads in intellectual ranking. A.C.P. And in the Loyola BOP we find this: Spring Spring Spring The bird is on the wing Absurd Absurd' Absurd The wing is on the bird iTl-il S KVl-UMI FAM I'm not at all famous, Said a freshman to me. I'm not at all brilliant. And I never will be, The honor roll's vacant To students li e me. But why should she worry. If famous she'd be She's famous already, SHE gets a straight-D * * * The Jolly Junior Says One nice thing about Friday mornings is that you can tell who are Academy freshmen and who are Loyola U seniors Oops I we really meant Academy seniors and Loyola U. freshmen. There'll be only one King and a few Queens at the British Coronation, but there'll be at least 2000 Kings and Queens and more Jacks than that at the S.A.C. card party . . . We have noted a trend toward writing news of college debates in the humor columns, and so we shall let you in on a choice argument over WCFL two Saturdays ago. When Cath erine Ann and Veronica finished a verre verra serious forensic encounter on federal aid for schools, the announcer said, We have just heard a debate between Mun delein College and St. Viator's of Kankakee, Illinois. Do you like vegetable soup? * Can you imagine a more exquisite examina tion than the recent astronomy one? The ques tions were all about the stars and the moon and the beauties of heaven and the whole exam was given to the tune of DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES, beauti fully rendered by a violin and piano just above the science floor, on seven. Grand and Slam, the Molasses 'n' January of ONE NIGHT IN A CARDROOM, missed one of their gags. It was, Grand: Why fo you say yo sorry yo is darkie? Why fo yo say dat, huh? Slam: (Loosening his senior gown collar and stocking blackface) Because then I wouldn't have to wear this hot outfit cxlAX rvv o- vv- L jj vAxSLae. Se/vrctees For The Card Party .
