Had Lent existed at the Begin ning, the question would have been simple and the six week batching period would never have elapsed before some hungry fasting stu dent would have thrown caution to the winds, and made an omelet of the first embryonic chicken.

Most likely our finny friends would have died laughing as ab staining mackeral-snappers de voured the poor little fillers. Thus we'd have forsaken forever what ever evolution might have had in mind for their future. Would a hungry faster have written finis to the modern vege table plate? Had meatless Tuesdays and Lenten repasts limited the menu of the prehistoric man, modern man might be living a vegetarian existence. And ence? has this made a differ- Sure Had hungry prehistoric man put a premature end to eggs, fish, and vegetables . . . civiliza tion might have made great strides in space travel. After all. with all the usual fasting foods eliminated, man would have been forced to travel to the moon to find out if it is really made of that delicate I-enten delicacy green cheese. Prospective Freshmen Take Scholarship Test Whether March came in like a lion or a lamb for some 200 young ladies from 45 Chicago area schools, depends on the manner in which they performed during the Liberal Arts scholarship test, March 1. The test began at 9:30 a.m., aft er Ann Coe, president of the stu dent body, greeted the future freshmen.' On Saturday, March 8, prospec tive art and music majors will take tests for one-year fine arts schol arships. The first of the series of en trance tests, given monthly from March to August, will take place March 15. Food For The Mind Tempts Appetites Of Diet-Conscious The truly liberal mind is a free mind open, questioning, and char itable Father Harold C. Gar diner. S.J., literary editor of Amer ica, told a group gathered inform ally in 405 on Feb. 17. Outlining a program of reading for a truly liberal Catholic, Father Gardiner began his discussion with an explanation of the terms open. questioning, and charitable. Using Chesterton's compar ison, the editor of the well- known Norms for the Novel pointed out that an open mind is one which is not only will ing to listen to new ideas, but like the mouth, is most useful when it closes on something closes to chew, digest, and as similate the new information. A questioning mind Father de scribed not as an incredulous or skeptical mind, but as one which looks for meaning to deepen reali zations and grow in appreciations. In conclusion Father stated, if the liberal mind cannot accept an idea, it rejects it charitably. This ability to disagree charitably is a sign of intellectual independence. Young writers are producing a promising trend in books. Father thinks, not great, but good ones. He cited especially among this group Dctravino's Even as You Loved. C.B. Flood's A Distant Drum, and Abunza's Sundays from 2 to 6. Sports Story One Of Credit and Loss Beginning next semester, the number of credit hours required for graduation will be lowered from 132 to 128 hours. No formal credits will be given for physical education cours es. However, four hours of phys ical education will still be re quired and students must repeat any such course in which they re ceive a failing grade. The faculty believes that the de cision will make grade-point aver ages a more accurate reflection of intellectual achievement. It w' also simplify the problem of ere transfers to and from the ma other colleges where this polic presently exists. c gt; High School Debate Ends In Triple Tie Three high schools tied for first place in the annual High School Debate Tournament held at Mun delein Feb. 22.
