Guides for UnityThe officers and student council representa-

tives for next year will be elected tomorrow. Onthe outcome of those elections depends the suc-

cess or failure of the student government and

social functions for next year. The decision is

in the hands of the average student, for it is his

vote that will determine the results.

Needless to say, it is an important decision

that the average Villanova student must maketomorrow. If it is to be a good one, it must be

a decision free from prejudice or emotion, a deci-

sion based simply on the calm evaluation of the

best interests of the class.

We have a few simple suggestions we should

like to offer to help the voter make his selec-

tion. They are not intended to be hard and fast

rules, but rather are suggested as guideposts to

help point the way to the best choice.

First of all, do not vote for a candid'ate sim-

ply because he is the same school aH you; ba^ie

your vote on the larger interests of the class

as a whole. It is not important that a particular

office be filled with a man from Arts or Kngi-neering or C&F; what is Important Is that it

he occupieid by the best possible candidate.

Second, judge the candidates by what they

have accomplished so far. If a candidate hasalready proved himself by doing good workeither for the class or for some other organiza-

tion in the past, he has a far better claim to

office than someone who merely promises that

he will accomplish a great deal in the future.

Third, watch a candidate's campaigning. Is

he emphasizing his own qualifications for office

or tearing down his opponent's? If he is doingthe latter, by no means vote for him; he will

never be able to command unified class support.

Follow these rules, and you will probablymake a good choice. But whether you followthem or not, whether your candidate finishes

in first or last place, remember one thing. Thecampaign ends when the results are announced.From that time on, the winners are your officers,

and you owe them your full support.

BiIATll,19S5 MAY 11, 1955 THE VILLANOVAN pAf• hupm

>i^n Encouraging SignIn a short space of fifteen days, six campus

publications will make their appearance on the

Villanova scene. Release of the LYNX and the

Junior Week VILLANOVAN inaugurated this

period of journalistic activity.

This group includes, besides the LYNX and

the VILLANOVAN, each of which has recently

published the largest issues ever, the BELLEAIR, which contains more pages than any

other Villanova annual with exception of the

1943 centennial issue, the VILLANOVA ENGI-NEER, which distributed its publication com-memorating the Engineering School's fiftieth

Anniversary, the BUSINESS WHIRL andthe VILLANOVA LAW REVIEW, each of whichis newly-formed. ^ -

This exceptional growth is a healthy sign for

the University. It typifies Villanova's broadenedhorizons, her recognition of the necessity for aninformed and a thinking student body, as well

as the interest displayed by that student body.For these publications are as demanding of timeas any organization on this campus. We all

know too well the pressures of making a dead-line or getting the copy to the printers.

Bandoeng ConferenceDisappoints Communists>__-__-__=================^ By Ed Daly =

f:iifOCiated GbleiSidb rVeis

Recently a meeting took place In Banoeng, Indonesia, a gather-

ing on the outcome of which the Communists placed great hope.

This gathering, of course, was the Aro-Asian Conference, at-

tended by the representatives of nations totalling more than

half the world's population.

The Reds had good reason for their optimism. Those gov-

emments. whose diplomats assembled at Bandoeng had, with few

exceptions, been established as successors to colonial administra-

tions of the various European powers. The fear of European

colonialism is a very serious one to most of

these Asians and Africans. It was precisely

that fear that the Reds counted on exploiting.

Prestige Loss For Nehru

As 'matters worked out, the Reds were disap-

pointed in some of their hopes. They found

an assembly fearful of colonialism, but one

that feared Soviet colonialism as much as it did

the Western variety. The mood of many of

^^^^__^_ these Asians was voiced by the premier of

neutralist Ceylon, when he rose to attack Communist imperalism

as a far greater danger than the declining Western colonialism.

What will be the significance of the very severe criticism of

Red policy voiced by the diplomats of so many Afro-Asian nations

is hard to evaluate at this early date. In the short run at least,

it represents a loss of prestige for India' ultra-neutralist prime

minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and for the man he so often makes

his ally, Chou En-lai, of Red China.

Change of Attitudes Unlikely

Whether this attitude will be followed by a concrete change

of policy on the part of the nations concerned seems unlikely,

at least for the time being. Those nations which are most strong-

ly pro-Western, such as Turkey, Liberia, and the Philippines,

will unquestionably continue in their position. Red China and

North Viet Nam will just as certainly continue to take advantage

of every opportunity given them to expand their empires at

the expense of the western bloc. What the United States must

hope for is that the pro-American elements in the uncommitted

countries, such as Ceylon, Burma, and Indonesia, which, al-

though neautralist in their sympathies, are still fearful of pos-

sible Communist aggression or subversion, directed against them-

selvcr., might be strengthened by this public demonstrations that

this fear is common in other Asian countries. TJais would not

necessarily be mirrored by the foreign policies of the various

counties but would be invaluable to the United States in case of

a really serious Far Eastern crisis.

f •• '^= Conference Favors West

At any rate, the results of the Bandoeng Conference must

be looked upon as tending to favor the West more than the East.

They do not represent, a spectacular victory for either side, but

that in itself represents something of a gain for the West, whose

leaders had been afraid the Reds would walk away with the

Conference.

That the Reds and Nehru felt that the Conference was not

going according to schedule was demonstrated by Nehru's fre-

quent bursts of ill temper and his walk-outs over relatively minor

procedural points.

Despite all these outbursts, however, the Banoeng group did

not endorse the anti-American line, did not adopt a "Hate the

West" program, and did not adopt a one-sided condemnation of

western methods while leaving Soviet tactics outside the realm

of dicussion.

When Chou En-lai went home to Peiping and Jawaharlal

Nehru returned to New Delhi, it was with the humiliating memoryof a perfectly rigged jury that did not return the required verdi )t.

There also must have been a dawning realization that they

are no longer in a position to speak in the narhe of Aaia. Perhapstheir one-time prestige may return, but until then, there is nospokesman for Asia whose every word must make foreign offices

throughout the West bustle with alarmed activity every timehe speaks.

New Standard Set

By Colorful LynxBy Clem Birch

The Spring edition of the LYNX, Villanova's

literary quarterly, has been released to a rather

small but not unreceptive audience.

This current issue is the largest in the his-

tory of the LYNX and in it is employed a novel

device, which should by all bolster sales.

From cover to cover, the total number of

pages comes to 68; the new technique is that

of a photographic essay placed in the center of

the issue.

Taking up the bulk of the quarterly ar6 five

short stories, highlighted perhaps by "An Inci-

dent in Mexico," authored by Joseph Barrett.

Four essays, by various creative stylists of

Villanova, are alternated with the stories, there-

by forming a smoothness of reading. The center

of attraction is of course, the photographic es-

say on the pre-Easter retreat by William R. Bell

and Francis Trainor.

Poetic contributions amount to three, all of

which can be placed on an equal basis.

The lead story by Barrett is very good. The

sequence of action is highly polished and easy

to follow. The main characters, who are soldiers

that become entangled in a unique situation, are

stable and well-defined. Mexico and Texas, the

backgrounds for the story, are vividly carried

to the reader's mind. Although the actual plot

of the story is at first held together on thin

threads, and the dialogue sometunes tends to

distract the reader, Barrett brhigs the narra-

tive to a fine conclusion.

"Everglades," a poem by Robert F. LimaJr., and "Vocation," by Patrick Nolan in myestimation stray from actual poetry but to

counter-balance the scale, their use of "pic-

turesque" wording provides the audience with a

pleasant change in thought. Farley Robert's

contribution, "When The Twilight ShadowsGather," is sound in meter but lacking in sub-

stantial thought matter.

In most cases I myself do not particularly

care for essays, but on second glance a greater

appreciation was established. "Medieval Essays

by Christopher Dawson" as expounded on by

Mark McCormick proves the author's ability to

take into consideration the possibility of lack

of interest or knowledge in essays. He definitely

impresses one with the idea that essays aren't

always stuffy reading.

The second short story, "Half a 'C Note"

by Patrick J. Nolan, reaches a par with past

editions of the LyNX. The background of his

story, which incidently is Bryn Mawr and "The

Blue Heaven Diner," is excellent. The central

personage, Sam Gerrity, "knight of the road,"

is firmly established but at the same time parti-

ally lost in a plot which I would term weak.

Peering . . .

By Dick Peer

At Eddie Condon and the Jazz Concert which

got jazzier as the show went on. The public

address system didn't work too well at first, so

Ed turned on the juice. Apparently he liked

the T n' T props that were used—he went back

to look at them often enough.

At the Mothers who certainly made a dayof it. In fact several of them made it a fewdays. One mother, who arrived Sunday for the

T n' T show, remembered the Penna. blue laws,

and unpacked a bottle on arrival.

At all the cars which suddenly appeared on^^campus. It was difficult to find anybody whoneeded a ride to anything. "No, thanks, sport,

I've got my own," was the cry heard all overcampus.

At a couple of the campus gentlemen whohave placed orders for hew Cadillacs and havemade plans to summer in Europe. These arethe capitalists who casually asked you if you'dlike to get your flowers or your tux throughthem.

Into the Prom and at the various types ofgarment worn by those attending. Dinnerjackets came in all colors, with a yellow-whitemost prevalent. There were a few pastel shadesthat even made the lighthouse blink.

At Palumbo's, the site of the Dinner Danceto end all dinner dancing. Great cauldrons ofgarlic sauce gurgled from within as waiters ranfrom table to table hawking ravioli. Afterseveral courses of potent little things everyonewas ready to dance. One fellow started forthe oance floor but soon retired—he justcouldn't stand his date's breath.

More Opinion...By Jim Nolin

The thought from this comer is that the Villanova student

frequently fails to realize the advantage of an education acquired

here, and takes for granted many of the things that impress

the outside visitor to the campus. The problems arising out

of the rapid influx of students into an almost as rapidly expanding

University should not be raised out of proportion to the available

advantages.

Better qualified than we, perhaps, to makecomparisons with other schools, are those whohave spent time elsewhere. A sampling of

some opinions expressed by Law students rela-

tive to the merits and disadvantages of Villan-

ova, is indicated here.

Joe Monaghan (Siena '54, National Col-

legiate Who's Who, Editor-in-chief, Siena

News) : "The beauty of Villanova's campus, especially at this

time of year, is very impressive. The bushes and flowers are

arranged to show Villanova at its best.

"Although Villanova has a large resident population, andSiena is exclusively commuter, the spirit and participation in

activities seems about equal.

"Also, with the large number of residents, I think the Deanof Discipline is performing what is necessarily a difficult job

very effectively."

Jack Collins (Holy Cross '54, an editor of the Purple, liter-

ary quarterly) thinks that the idea of an original musical, like

"Jessica James", would add to the Cross' activities. The Junior

Week organization and follow-through also struck his interest.

"However," he observed," at Holy Cross there is more of

an emphasis on acquisition of speakers for the student body,"

(similar to the past Villanova Forum series. Ed. note), "andthe student backing of athletic contests seems to be more or-

ganized at Holy Cross."

Leo Golden, a Marine Corps veteran and graduate of PennState, thinks that perhaps the larger resident body at PennState led to a more solidified group, with, no "resident-day-hop"antagonisms. Consequently, the Penn State student has strongschool spirit which is carried over into the Alumni relations.

"The religious spirit here, though, seems quite strong, andis encouraged. This was missing at Penn State, despite the

Newman Club and the Catholic fraternities, and is a great ad-vantage to the Villanova student.

"Another attraction of Villanova is the beautiful, well laid

out campus. The consistency of style of the buildings, with the

excellent stonework, is indicative of a fine regard for architecturalbeauty. *

"Before I graduate from here, though, I would like to seeVillanova play Penn State in football." (Attn. Bud Dudley).

Jessica and Kin Reviewed:

Expectations SurpassedJessica James arrived ' "Bag

and Baggage" at the Field

House, Wednesday evening,April 27, and it will be a longtime before her visit is forgot-

ten.

From star^ to finish the showwas everything that people

have grown to expect from Turfand Tinsel. Musically, the

show had a greater array of

good songs than any show pre-

sented by T&T during my stay

at Villanova. Acting-wise, I be-

lieve the cast was adequate all

the way down the line, and ex-

ceptional in a few noteworthyinstances.

Exceptional Singing

For example, Walt Doyle, re-

turning for his third T&T role,

played the blustering "Ma" to

perfection. As in his two pre-

vious roles he had a SophieTucker conversation type song.

In Jessica James this case was"Moonshine Bay." When hecombined with Gene Donahueand a quartet on the song hewas good, but he really blossom-ed when he had the stage to

himself.

John Giordano also rates

special mention for his portrayal

of the rough and tough, butsentimental "Pa." I heard that

"G. I." had a good voice, butit was a revelation to discover

that he combines a good deal of

stage presence with his singing

ability. This was fairly evident

in his production number "Whenthe Gates are Ajar," but moreso in "Pot of Gold," which seem-ed to be more his speed.

By Bemie Finan

Newly Discovered TalentDon Mattingly, who played

the title role, is a real find forthe T&T since he is only a so-

phomore. The acting involved in

the part of Jessica wasn't toodemanding, but Don was de-mure at the right moments. Hescored best with the audiencewhen he sang his "There'sNothing the Matter with Me,""Wayward Heart," and "WillShare." The latter, Don sangwith Frank Hartmann, whoplayed a romantic Pinkertonman. The audience got a spe-cial chuckle out of Don's an-swering "Pinky's" inviting "Will

sica James." His zany antics

were particularly effective in

the first act, during which hesang the tearful "My Sweet-heart's Funeral."

Bit Parts OatstandinsIn a short space, it is dif-

ficult, nay impossible, to sumup a T&T show. I would like to

mention at greater length theexcellent singing of Frank Hart-mann, the ogling and capers ofWesley, the angel played byPaul Porreca, and the fun mak-ing of the mischievous Flotilda,

Fergus, and Fungus, as playedby the Messrs. Schiller, Blhnm,and Padova, but I can not.

Turf land Tinsel's 1955 production, "Jessica James/' wasanother success in the club's history. In this scene, the chomsjust finished the opening number as Jessica (far right with

parasol) maizes lier entrance on stage.

Share" with a light hearted

"boop-da-da-bo." (I think that's

how it went.)

Jim Borden had no trouble in

fitting into the rather large

shoes of "Zeke," the cavemanlover. If Jim is trying to provethat his talent is universal, hecertainly convinced the people

who witnessed his romp in "Jes-

Let me conclude by saying

that as always in musicals, en-

thusiasm can cover a multitude

of theatrical shis. What flaws

occured in Jessica James were

over-balanced by the enjoyment

it gave to its audience.

Marines Offer

Another Plan

On TrainingGung ho for a career as a

Marine flyer? •

In a re-emphasis of its tradi-

tional air-ground relationship,

the Marine Corps has announced

a new training program for

prospective Marine aviators.

The first new program for

Marine officers since World

War II, it has been termed the

Aviation Officer CandidateCourse. It will result in earlier

commissions as second lieuten-

ants for men who desure to be-

come Marine pilots.

Supplementary Program

Previously all Marine flyers

were drawn from the Naval

Aviation Cadet Program or

from the ranks of Marine offi-

cers on active duty. The newprogram is intended to supple-

ment the present ones.

The AOCC will be offered to

college graduates who will at-

tend a 10-week indoctrination

course at Quantico, Va., which

will give them basic Marine

Corps training, with an empha-

sis on the hifantry aspects.

Reserve Commission Offered

Successful graduates of this

orientation course will receive

reserve commissions and be or-

dered to active duty as student

aviators.

Applications for the Marhie

Aviation Officer CandidateCourse are now being accepted.

The first 'session is expected to

convene at Quantico this fall.

Further information may be

obtained at the Marine Office in

Barry Hall.

tained in the Pie Shoppe. There

Look for the Spalding "Tennis Twins"

Wherever Top Tennis Is Played

There are gooti reasons why Spalding's tennis twins arc used in more

major tennis toiirnanunis than all other tennis halls combined.

Top players want a tennis ball that can take rough treatment . . .

and give uniform performance set after set. They pick the Spalding

and the Spalding-made Wright & Ditson over all others for uniform

wear and better bounce qualities.

Put the best ball in play for your hi-st }iame. The pick of top tennis

men . . . Spalding's famous tennis twins.

Your dealer has them now.

becoming Dean of Women, Rev.Joseph J. Burns, O.S.A.', has in-

naugurated the practice of daily

recitation of the Rosary at the

Crowds Thrill to Blue-White Day PerformancesVarsity Teams Win All ButOne at 3rd Annual Affair

IVi

By BUI Brown

Bud Dudley's large economysize sports package was a huge

success last Saturday. Those

who saw the third annual Blue-

White Day were throughly en-

tertained by the congregation of

athletes.

At Aronomink C. C, the var-

sity golf team set down a squad

of Old timers 5!2-4>(..

Arizin Paces GradsThe return of Paul Arizin to

a Villanova uniform signalled

the defeat of the varsity by the

Old (?) Timers. Arizin led the

Old Timers with 22 points.

Schafer followed with 12. Maje.

McDonald, the fashion expert,

entered the game elgantly dress-

ed in sport shirt and slacks.

Despite determined efforts by

the varsity, they wound up on

the short end of a 65-56 score.

Dan Severino took Seton Hall

in hand as the boys from NewJersey lost to Villanova 13-3.

Dan allowed seven hits while his

|'.eammates tapped two Pirate

pitchers for 14 safeties. Sever-

ino r' nick out 9.

Track Records BrokenJim Elliot's highly touted

track team tangled with LaSalle

and smoothered the Olneyites

under a 70-46 score. The fans

were treated to sparkling per-

formances by Don Bragg and

e^ASalle's Al Cantello. Bragg•aulted to a height of 14'8M»"which is a new track record and

also the highest outdoor vault

of this year. Cantello's javelin

toss of 224'-%'' is also a newtrack record. Villanova's Gior-

dano was second in the javelin

throw tossing 188'8". Alex wasa double winner for the cats,

taking the 1 and 2 mile events.

Both the discus and the shot

put events weie taken by Jim

Fahey. His distances were 132'

11" and 50*6^4 " respectively.

LaSalle's Tony Spodabulski first

in the 100 and the broad jump.

Charley Jenkins, who should he

reported to the C.A.A. for flying

without a license, broke the tape

to win the 440 in 48.1.

Soccer At VUlaao^a

y^ Soccer was a feature of i.^e

dMy when the Uhrik Truckers,

Bud Dudley

champs of the A.S.L., met the

Little Club in Goodreau Station.

The Uhriks won 4-0. MikePauz, a Villanova student,

scored one of the goals. JimLafferty, a Scot, scored the

three other goals.

. Michaels Vs. MichaelsOnly Dudley would schedule

football in May. As a result the

varsity defeated a team of OldTimers 21-0. A father-son notewas added by the play of EddieMichael, Sr. for the Old Timersand Eddie Michaels, Jr. for the

varsity. The elder Michaels,

playing sans helmet, gave noquarter and doubtless surprisedmany of the varsity by his hardplaying. The varsity realized

why this 1936 graduate was anAll-American. The varsity com-bined Ferroulo passing toCassidy for two touchdowns.Tony Esgro played into the endzone for the remaining tally.

The Swim-0-Rama, in the Field-

house pool, provided a fitting

finish for Dudley's Day.

its division in the play-offs.

Inclement weather, whichpostponed many early season

games, was the reason for the

delay in producing the titlists

of the remaining three circuits

at this late date.

The leaders at the present

time will be named the cham-pions, however, since the re-

for these games to be made up.

Recordhig their sbcth straight

victory, Villanova's aggressive

baseballing squad soundlytrounced the Seton Hall Pirates,

13-3, in a game played at Vil-

lanova last Saturday.

For the Wildcats, it was also

their second victory over

Setonia this year. They haveyet to lose to the South Orangeteam.

Danny Severino, the fire-ball-

ing right-hander for Art Ma-han's proteges, took the moundfor Villanova, and conductedhimself as a pitcher should, al-

lowing just seven hits andstriking out nine.

From the opening stanza,

there was no question of whichwas the superior team. Villano-

At Team PartyVillanova's varsity swimmers

seem to have hopes of setting

some new pool records next sea-

son.

At any rate they made sure

their coaches will be able to

clock them accurately next yearwhen they presented stop

watches to Head Coach EdGeisz and Freshman Coach DaveRowan at the team's annualparty at the Malta Boat Club.

The team also presentedCaptain Pat Kean with a me-mento after Geiss had awardedfive-inch monograms to letter

winners.

Coacb Art Alakan

va blanked the Pirates in the

top of the first, and came backin the bottom of that frame to

rally five runs across the plate,

and send two Seton Hall pitchers

scattering.

Then again in the fourth,

while Seton Hall was still try-

ing to bring home its initial tally

of the game, Villanova punchedout four more markers on three

of the Wildcat's 14 hits.

Seton Hall returned in the

next frame to counter with asingle run, but that was better-

ed when Villanova came to batand added three more runs to

the scoring parade.

Severino still continued his

mastery over the Pirates until

the top of the ninth, when thetiring junior allowed Setonia to

drench the sacks twice, resulting

in two runs being scored. But,

by that time, Villanova hadrecorded thirteen runs, and wascomfortably ahead, and so theball game was won by the 'Cats,

13-3.

DlGloUorenzo Gets Two DoublesBig guns in the Villanova

line-up were sophomore JohnnyDiGiollorenzo, who notched twodoubles during the game, short-

stop Don LaMontagne, with atriple and single, Dave Hinne-gan, who got three singles, andBill McGarry, with two singles.

Aside from the other festi-

vities which were going on atthe well-packed Villanova Sta-dium, the Varsity was success-ful in seeking and finding its

sixth straight victory of theseason. Thus far, they have de-feated Vermont, Princeton, Se-ton Hall twice, Loyola, Rutgers,St. Peter's, LaSalle and Penn.

Losses have been to Ithaca,

Dartmouth, Army, West Ches-ter.

THE VILLANOVANSPORTS CHATTER:

Penn Relay Glory-By Darryl Ditenfest

<f:

"Villanova University, which never before won a major racein the Penn Relay Carnival, came to life in an exciting last houryesterday to take four, first places and set two of the six meetrecords before a crowd of 25,000 on Franklin Field." This para-graph was the lead of a story appearing in the PhiladelphiaSunday Bulletin, May 1, describing the greatest hour in trackof Coach "Jumbo" Elliott and his youthful cinder squad.

The Wildcats were only an hour away from duplicating non-winning performances of sixty previous relay carnivals. CharlieJenkins, IC4A Indoor 600-yard champion, galloped a half-milein 1:51.7 to bring the first United States relay championship, thesprint medley, to the Main Line. Jenkins was preceded by JimMoran (440), and Gene MaUff and Warner Heitmann (220-yardseach). .V,,; •.*..;:.:;:.:

Villanova's previous relay victories were in the freshmanmile relay, 1932, and the division II one mile relay in 1942. In-dividual victories were recorded by J. F. O'Connell, 1907 broadjump competition, John DiCarlo, 400-meter hurdles in 1946.Cummin Clancy was the last gold medal winner, taking thediscus throw in 1951.

Frosh Set RecordA crack frosh relay contingent of George Sydnor, Walt

Budney, Rowland Simpson, and Ron Delaney won their trial heatdespite the loss of the baton on the initial leg. Delaney's flimlsprint carried him past Fordham's anchor man. Following thevictory of the sprint medley team, the frosh returned to set anew meet record with the amazing clocking of 3:18.4.

' ^:;>: :Bragg Tops Morcom's Mark

^ ^ Don Bragg added Villanova's second record of the afternoonWith a vault of 14-41/4 ". One of the first to congratulate Donwas the former record-holder Richard (Boo) Morcom, athleticdirector at Penn. Bragg failed in his first two attempts to clearId feet, but easily cleared the barrier on his third and last try.

Moron, Maliff, Heitmann, Jenkins RepeatThese triumphs set the stage for a one man show In the

mile finale. Moran, Mallff, and Heitmann again ran the firstthree legs. Jenkins, thirty yards behind in fourth place, decidedto nnake a race of it, and ran what is believed to be the fastestquarter mile at Franklin Field, 46.5. Jenkins exploded off the

'Exceptional* FreshmenAlready NationallyKnown

By Joe Heaps '

It isn't often that a Fresh-man group of athletes acquiresa name for itself. Even out-standing Frosh sportsmen mustgenerally wait until varsity com-petition to gain recognition. Anotable exception to this stateof affairs is the VillanovanFreshman mile relay team, con-sisting of George Sydnor, WaltBudney, Roland Simpson, andRonnie Delaney.

Several factors are respon-sible for recognition of the fleetquartet. First, there are the

team's brilliant winning effortsin the New York and Penn Re-lays. Their victory in the PennRelays in the time of 3.18.4 seta new meet and American recordfor freshman teams. Also, thenames of two of the members ofthe relay team—Ronnie Delaneyand George Sydnor—were al-ready familiar to track fans be-cause of the fine performancesof these runners in the winterindoor meets.

Perhaps a review of the quar-tet's achievements in the PennRelays will best disclose the ta-

lent of the swift foursome.

Great In Penn RelaysIn the trial heat, Sydnor, who

leads off, committed the usual-ly fatal error of relay teams.He dropped the baton. By thetime he had recovered it and re-gained his stride, he was 25yards behind. Walt Budneythen ran the fastest quarter ofhis life—50.4 seconds— to makeup some of the lost distance.Simpson and Delaney each dis-played championship form tocatch their rival runners andwin the heat for Villanova.

licad All The WayThe finals were an entirely

different story. Sydnor brokein front and the Wildcats neverlost the lead. Each man in-creased the margin until anchorman Delaney coasted home 50yards ahead of the field. Simp-son and Delaney ran 48.1 and48.7 second quarters, respective-ly as part of the record time of3.18.4.

An amazing fact about the re-lay team is that only one man

—

Roland Simpson—is a regularquarter-miler. Both Sydnor andBudney are dash men, and jack-of-all-distances Delaney runsany thing from the hundred tothe mile. This past winter hespecialized in the half mile andthousand yard run.

an eye off the great sophomorepole-vaulter, as he tried timeagain to break into the 15 footcategory, after he made historywith his soar of 14 feet, 8'/-i

inches, better than any one in

the U. S. has vaulted this year.

Aside from Bragg's pole-vaulting feat, Al Cantello, a ta-

lented LaSalle javelin-thrower,also broke a record. Cantellotossed the stick 224 feet, 1%,setting a new mark for the Uni-versity. Villanova's JohnnyGiordano followed suit by toss-ing the javelin 188 feet, 8 inches,which also bettered the formermark by some six feet.

In other phases of track com-petition during the meet, Vil-

lanova's Jim Fahey won boththe discus and the shot-put,with heaves of 132 ft. 11 inchesand 50 ft. 6 ins. respectively.Tony Spodabalski was a

double winner at the meet, andalso individual high-scorer. Hewon the 100 yd. dash, and thehigh jump, and placed secondin the 220 yd. dash.

Other double winners includedFahey, and his teammate onthe cinders, Alex Breckenridge,who garnered first place honorsin the mile and two mile events.

Charlie Jenkins, naturally,again was successful in winninghis pet 440 yd. run in an easymanner. Charlie posted a 48.1time for the event, in whichthere was little competition forthe productive sophomore.With four previous meets dur-

ing the outdoor track season al-

ready encountered, and withthree of those meets, the lastthree, excellent encounters, it

was expected that Villanovawould win the meet, which it

did so regally, with Don Braggleading the way.Three meets remain for the

Wildcats during the NCAAslate. Georgetown plays hostto the Cats on Saturday next,while the team also will face St.

Joseph's in a dual meet May 21,and the IC4A's which will beheld on May 28.

Golfers BeatOld -Timers In

Exhibit MatchBy Paul Ciarkaon

Continuing in their winninggroove, Villanova's varsitygolfers took on a skilled Old-Timers aggregation at Arono-mink Country Club last Satur-day, and beat the Old-Timers5-4 in the exhibition round.The squad of Fred Anton, Lou

Blanchet, Ben KlemanowicsrCharlie Stone, and Bob McEl-haney took on the veteranlinksmen, and came out victor-

ious in the red-hot round, whichwas played also on a wiltinglyhot day.

Other meets which the Var-sity divoteers have debited tothe win side of the ledger areLaSalle, and Penn, while losing6-1 to a strong Princeton team.

The Penn match, which waswon by Villanova in the close

4-3, saw Blanchet fight it

out with Penn's Charlie Adamsinto the 21st hole, in order to

break the 3-3 deadlock. Blan-chet was successful, as he play-

ed the final three holes under-par to make up a three strokedeficit which he had on the16th.

The match with LaSalle wasa complete drubbing for theExplorer linksmen, as they werebombarded 8-1 by Villanova,

whose team members have turn-ed in red-hot scores in recentmatches.

Ben Klemanowicz was thelone winner for Villanova in amatch played with the Tigersfrom Princeton two weeks ago.The sophomore golfer carded asensational 71 for a gruelingone-over-par performance in the6-1 loss.

*i Big Day In A Nurse's Life # •

Futaro nurses at work . . . Winnie Daly checks her watchwhile Rita Shigo works In the background.

««i'I solemnly pledge myself be-

fore God ... to pass my life

in purity . . . practice my profes-

sion faithfully . . . and devote

myself to the welfare of those

committed to my care."

With these words of dedica-

tion, Villanova nursing students

marked the first milestone in

their nursing careers. The cap-

ping exercise, which was held

May 8, culminated two years

of academic training here onVillanova's campus. The remain-

ing two years will initiate the

professional portion of their

degree in nursing.

Instruction in theory andpractical experience will con-

tinue to be directed by the fac-

ulty of Villanova University

but shall be carried out in des-

ignated hospitals and health

agencies for periods of twelve

weeks each. Some of the hospit-

als cooperating in Villanova's

program are Fitzgerald-Mercy,

Misericordia, St. Agnes, St.

Mary's and Children hospitals

and the State Tuberculosis San-

atorium in Hamburg, Pa. At the

successful completion of this

combined academic and profes-

sional curriculum of four calen-

dar years, the Villanova nurse

will receive a baccalaureate

degree in nursing and will be

eligible for licensure as a regis-

tered nurse following successful

completion of the State Boardexaminations.

However, a good nurse must"not only have technical knowl-edge, thoroughly acquired andconstantly kept up to date but

nursing demands complete dedi-

cation to the patient," which is

born, nourished and fed by the

spirit of Christ. Implying a cul-

tivation of self-denial, purity

of heart and a fineness of con-

science, this spirit will stimu-

late the growth of the patient's

mind and spirit as well as his

body.

The basic collegiate nursing

program of Villanova University

provides the opportunities neces-

sary for building this nuclear

foundation in the Catholic nurse.

Sister Alma

Nursing Division Director

Enveloped in the true Christian

atmosphere of this University,

the Villanova nurse develops

the strong will and keen moralsense so essential to the com-plete attainment of her goal.

Student Nurft9*s CapAll schools of nursifig have

their own original cap but.

Sister Alma caps Delores Cofield, one of the sophomore basicnurses as Very Rev. James A, Donnellon, Villanova presidentlooks on.

/^i,-

Sister Margarella

Nursing Division Director

though numerous varieties ex-

ist, all nurses' caps have the

same deep significance of dedica-

tion. It is a badge of honor, love

and trust, symbolizing the voca-

tional aspect of the nursmg pro-

fession. The capped nurse is

keenly aware of the fact that

she represents not only the very

best in technical skill and pro-

fessional competence and out-

standing Christian womanhood,but she has been entrusted with

the care of the human soul as

well.

It is her privilege in answer-

ing the call to the ministry of

His afflicted "to guide and ac-

company souls to the verythreshold of eternity." Her ac-

tivities as a Christian nursetranscend the material and as-

cend to the very heights of

heaven to there become blendedwith the works of God.

The white student cap of Vil-

lanova University's school of

nursing also has special signifi-

cance displaying love and loyal-

ty to the school itself. When

opened, it was designed to be In

the shape of a Host illustrating

the bond of unity as membersof the Mystical Body of Christ;

when closed and in shape for

wearing, the three small points

at the top symbolize the bishop's

mitre revealed in the Augustin-

ian seal; the back displaying a

blue "V" which connotes the

school colors. The same idea of

color significance is reverted to

in the uniform except a white

"V" is exhibited on a blue back-

ground.OUR CAP

''Our cap, sliaped as a Sacred

Host, symbolizes the life wlilch

is vital to each who aspires to

happiness as an angel of mercy.

Our cap signifies the living

criteria by which true success

is measured. It speaks for vir-

tues noble and pure; It speaksfor ideals lofty and sure.

Our cap carries Mary's colors,

white and blue; it carries Vil-

lanova's blue and white. Ourcap marks a woman, a reflection

of Mary, the image of Christ."

Hartmanri/ Laughlin Elected;

Soph Deadlock Is SettledA myriad of posters and placards as numerous and colorful as the candidates themselves

tells the story of election day at Villanova last Thursday, as some 73% of the university's stu-

dents turned out to chose 27 representatives.

Seventy-six percent of the junior class visited the polls to name Frank Hartmann next

year's Senior Class President. This turn out was slightly under the record showing of that class

last year.

Sophomores had the highest turnout as 79% marked their ballots and declared a tie be-

tween Art Odabash and Jack Decker for the future junior presidency. The run-off election wasscheduled for yesterday.

Only 63% of the eligible freshman used their voting privilege however, but they over-

whelmingly elected Paul Laughlin to the Sophomore Class presidency.

Recounts and disputes were the order of the day, but balloting itself proceeded very smooth-ly under the direction of the Student Council's Election Committee headed by Frank Licopoli.

Voting lasted from 10:00 a. m, to 3 p. m. with the heaviest being during the 10:30 a. m.activities period. A highlight of the day was the voting of the Nursing School co-eds en massein Alumni Gym.

An excited milling crowd of nearly 100 would-be winners and constituents awaited the de-

cisions of the vox populi in the Alumni Hall shadows after the 3 p. m. poll closing.

The results of the decisive freshman voting were announced quickly, and all the winnerswere disclosed by 4:30 p. m.
