Here's News EVERY year, Catholic journals throughout the world call attention to Catholic Press Month. In order to un derstand the significance of this celebra tion, it is necessary to do more than read and support the Catholic press it is nec essary to understand its special signifi cance as a news medium. Essentially, Catholic journalism differs from secular journalism in that Catholic journalism is free, from the ofteif-times shackling editorial policies which direct much of secular press. In consequence, many Americans today distrust the news of the secular press. The comic strips, columns, beauty ad vice, sport records, stock market reports, and other features have wide appeal, but not infrequently the news is biased or slanted or otherwise inaccurate, either because of newspaper policy or because of censors and propagandists- The Catholic press, however, is not shackled to the when-a-man-bites-a-dog-it's -news criterion, nor to an editorial policy, and it is, therefore, free to give its read ers the truth. Recently Sheed and Ward published a book by H. Edward Knoblaugh, entitled Correspondent in Spain, an account of the present Spanish conflict written with an entirely objective viewpoint by an As sociated Press correspondent who incur red the disapproval of the Loyalist Propa ganda machine because he refused to send lo his New York office propaganda stor ies and because he objected to censors distorting his own reports. Shortly after the publication of Kno- blaugh's book, a writer to Commonweal stated that she had been lecturing on Spain, that she had taken all her material from Catholic newspapers and magazines, and that Correspondent in Spain, the eye-witness account of a reporter behind 1TH an historic eye that penetrated the veil of future events, George Washington, delivering his Farewell Ad dress in 1786, pointed out unerringly some of the tendencies which have devel oped into American tragedies. In an almost prophetic tone, he warned our eighteenth-century forefathers that unity of government is a main pillar in the edifice of . . . real independence and that the spirit of unity, il not maintained, must give way to downfall of government. Eighty years later the North and the South staged a desperate battlefield-test of the principle of union. Prophetic, too, is his warning against foreign preferences and antipathies. He declares that nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others should be excluded; and that in place of them just and amicable feelings toward all should be cultivated. Yet another injunction is that which Washington directed regarding religion and morality. These, he pointed out, are indispensable for political prosperity and health. Emphasizing the importance of religion as the security for property, for reputation, for life, he makes a strong ap peal for religious tolerance, and declares: In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. yRound Town Starting Sunday, the campus offers en tertainment suggestions to suit every style and taste. Strengthen your hold on current prob lems by appearing at the College at 3 o' clock on Sunday to hear the Cisca Forum on Industrial Peace. Demonstrate your social graces at the Junior Prom at the Boulevard Room of the Stevens on Monday, Feb. 21. Attend Mundelein's drama production of The Order Of The Purple Heart, Tuesday, Feb. 22, or Thursday, Feb. 24. Go carnival-gay on Friday evening, Feb. 25,. when the Alumnae Association will hold its Carnivalumna at the Col lege. Reserve your Saturday afternoon to at tend the Cisca-sponsored tour through the steel mills. Or spend the Feb. 26 week-end in Mil waukee attending the annual convention of the Catholic Association for Interna tional Peace. Bring your Shakespeare to life by in cluding a performance of Richard II, which opens with Maurice Evans at the Grand Opera House on Feb. 21. Prove to yourself that glass is de voted to other things than panes and spec tacles, by attending the glass exhibit which will be at the Art Institute until March. Remember the special Lenten drama of fering of the Loyola Community Players on March 5 and 6 when they will produce The White Sister. Ithe Loyalist lines, writing now without fear of censorship, corroborated perfectly the reports she had gleaned from the Ca tholic press. Thus Catholic journalism adds another link of proof in its claim of true report ing. Thus Catholic readers have an in telligent reason for supporting that press and a duty to encourage its activities. Have You Read - - - With Catholic Press Month spotlighting fiction and non-fiction by some of the more popular writers who either are Ca tholics themselves or who present a Catho lic point of view, the best advice for the Catholic collegian is Read It And See/ See why the two foremost Broadway plays are Catholic plays; see why the Dor othy Sayre play at the Canterbury Festi val is winning wide comment; see why the magazines are voicing enthusiasm for Dr. Fulton Sheen's new book. Read Bruce Marshall's Father Mal- achy's Miracle before it comes to Chi cago, following a most successful run on Broadway; read Paul Vincent Carroll's Shadow and Substance, Catholic play lauded by the critics. Read1 Sayre's The Zeal of Thy House and understand why Emmet Lavery recommended it when he lectured here last fall. Then read The Cross And The Crisis, Arnold Lunn's Spanish Rehear sal, and Philip Gibb's Ordeal in Eng land for authentic accounts of the Euro pean crisis. Read Maisie Ward's recently published Insurrection versus Resurrection, for an intelligent discussion of the nineteenth- century Catholic literary movement, and Philip ii, by William Walsh, for per spective on Spain. These, and a score of other vital and artistic Catholic liooks, are available in the library we'll be seeing you there. Points of View On Adult Agitation The current better-class magazines, as Father Lyons pointed out at retreat and as many of us have observed, are printing depressing articles by worried adults on the dangerous insensibility of the young er generation. The writing elders of the more conser vative school are of the opinion that something must be done about it. They advance physical, social, and psychological arguments to support their plea for a re turn to morality. Apparently, it lias never occurred to them that, in robbing or in standing by while others robbed their young people of belief in God and in a moral law, they have, themselves, paved the way for the moral breakdown they now deplore. If their journalistic briefs for a return to morality are to prove effeotive, they must be accompanied by a return to the religious code which governs moral con duct. On British Agents The number of Catholics in the British diplomatic service, according to an article in The Witness of Jan. 20, provoked de bate in the English House of Commons recently, when a member raised an objec tion, demanding to know exactly how many Catholics are in the service. Foreign Secretary Eden, replying that members of the diplomatic service are not required to state their Church affiliations, assured the objecting member, whose en thusiasm for the Spanish Bolsheviks is well known, that British diplomats, what ever their religion, are loyal and interested servants of the state. -IIZl SSiOWUIMIZ Skyline Another term, Another chance, Another Skyscraper, Another Skyline. Aren't you happy? Or are you? Skyline- Add typographical error: The senior who raised herself to the Hall of Transitory Fame when she thumbed her way through her philosophy notebook the day be fore exams, and found that a certain French philosopher left the University of Paris in dis gust at the immortality of the students. Skyline We feel a special mark in originality should go to the freshman who observed in her rhe toric examination that clauses are of two kinds: subordinate and INSUBORDINATE. Skyline JANUARY LAMENT This month has passed, Oh sad my lot This month has passed, But I have not And we cannot resist reporting on the history student who wrote in her green book that the Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day was a slaying party given by Catherine de Medici. Skyline- Lecturer: There is not a task in this world impossible for you to accomplish that is, if you go at it earnestly and persislently 1 Tired Voice from the Rear: Have you ever tried squeezing toothpaste back into the tube? Skyline And here is more of tlie perennial humor that blossoms in every examination, and some times leaves you cold. 1/ Period costumes are dresses all covered with dots. 2. The people of India are divided into casts and outcasts. 3. Bismuth was a great German statesman. 4. The Knight fell down an abcess that yawned in front of him. 5. A dandelion is the king of beasts all dres sed up. 6. A goatee is a baby goat. This could go on for hours, the material is unlimited, but enough is enough. Skyline- Hear ye, oh hear ye, the pitiful tale. Of the actor so hungry and col', He cried out in anguish, Oh give me some bread, And the curtain came down with a roll. Skyline- One of the history majors is doing her prac tice-teaching in a west-side high-school. The first day she taught, she said to her class : Do you know who I am? No, replied the children. She told them her name, and proceeded with her quiz. Do you know where I'm from? No, they answered in chorus. I'm from Mundelein, she said by way of enlightment. Then you must know my brother, said one small voice. He goes to Loyola. Skyline Buy a bid, Ask Jimmy or Tom, And scamper along To the Junior Prom. You needn't dance well Nor must your chap, You can do the Big Apple, Tango or Tap. Skyline You may not find celebrities like Clark Gable or Shirley Temple or Charlie McCarthy at the Junior Formal, but all of loyal Mun delein will be there, so: Banish liluc Monday At the Junior Prom We'll be seein' you.
