CoUege Parade
The firing squad was escorting- a Russian comrade to his place of execution. It was a dismal march in a pouring rain.
"What a terrible morning to die," muttered the prisoner.
"What are you kickin' about?" asked the guard in charge. "We gotth mai'ch back in it."
• A golfing clergyman had been badly
beaten on the links by a pax'ishioner thirty years his senior.
"Cheer up," said his opponent. "Remember you win at the finish. You'll probably be burying me some day."
"Even then," grumbled the preacher, "It will be your hole."
•
A script was submitted to a producer. The movie boss took one quick look at the title and handed it back to the author with a sorrowful smile.
The author of the story w as puzzled. He hadn't been in pictures very long.
"But you didn't read it." The big boss was patient. "The
title. The Optimist! Me and you know what it means, but how many of them thick skulls out in front is gonna know it's a eye doctor?"
• Sleeping at the police station is all
right in a pinch. •
"I don't mind," said the professor, "if I see a student fidget toward the end of the hour. I don't mind seeing him take o'ut his watch and look at it. But when he takes out his watch, stares at it, puts it to his ear, and
. shakes it—^that gets me." •
The newlyweds were honeymooning at the seashore. As they walked arm in arm along the beach, the young groom looked poetically out to sea and eloquently cried out:
"Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, i-oll!"
His bride gazed at the water for a moment, then in hushed tones gasped, "Oh, Fred, you wonderful man. It's doing it!"
• He: "Sir, may I have your daughter
for my wife?" Father: "Bring your wife around
and I'll see." •
"Oh, my poor man," exclaimed the kind old lady. "It must be dreadful to be lame. But it would be much worse if you were blind."
"You're absolutely right, lady," said the beggar. "When I was blind people kept giving me foreign coins."

Where Is Everybody?
With over 300 of the local citizenry in Washington for the Navy game (and anything else t ha t might be going on) and probably a few hundred more having shoved oflf on four-day passes for other par ts , those of us who are left guarding the fort find ourselves wandering about a veritable ghost town talking to ourselves.
I base my observations on our solitude on the example of Sorin House which is as empty as a Miami hotel on the fourth of July. But it i sn ' t so bad, really, it 's jus t t ry ing to figure out what to do after you've seen all the movies in town. Oh well, anyone for handball at the Rock?

Poem of the Week
Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who has never turned his head and said: "Mmmm-m-m, not bad!"
Back to Killarney
Last Saturday 's stadium tussle was
as much a batt le of bands as it was a pigskin fracas. For it marked the introduction of H. Lee Hope's towering bagpipers, who strode majestically out on Leahy's lot in their "official Notre Dame t a r t a n s " (now available a t the bookstore) and strained their collective lungs on a highlander edition of the Victoi-y March. In the off season, the pipers will be available for clan reunions.
But the Boilermaker music makers were not to be outdone by this latest Irish innovation. They trundled out on the field their giant bass drum (donated by the class of '08) and it was a breathtaking spectacle indeed, to see that s turdy Purdue lad (formerly with Lionel Hampton) whale the living daylights out of the expansive hide, an effort Avhich obviously left the poor fellow exhausted and trembling.

PALACE (through Nov. 8)—Across the Wide Missouri (Legion of Decency Rating A-2) is perhaps the saddest Western to hit town so far this year. The plot is as smooth as the Missouri during fiood time (English majors could have done better) and Clark Gable, supposedly a pioneer of some kind, plays his role with all the authori ty of a St. Mary 's girl a t the door on Saturday night. There are some good scenic shots though (filmed in Colorado), but unfortunately, the actors and their plot keep blocking the view. The cofeature, Roadblock (A-2), can't even hold its own, let alone save the show.

COLFAX (through Nov. 13)—The Pulitzer prize-winning play .-1 Streetcar Named Desire ( B ) , comes to the screen as drama packed a s the Broadway play. Even on film it is more like a play than the conventional motion picture for it depends upon the showing of inner emotions more than action for its effect—and its effect is tremendous. Streetcar is not directed a t the mass audience. I t takes a discriminating viewer to understand and appreciate its excellence, so if you're out for a gay evening this isn't the thing to see. Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh and Kim Hunter give some of the year 's best acting.
AVON (through Nov. 16)—The Day pie Earth Stood Still (A-2) is a highly credible, as well as imaginative, account of the earth 's first visitor from outer space. The picture doesn't s t ray too far into the fanciful as many of the new crop of science fiction pictures do and it makes pret ty good entertainment. Michael Rennie and Patr icia Neal share top billing. ^'-

COVER: Co-chairman Jerry Sheehan and his Queen. Miss Dai-lene Samas, are shown being recorded for posterity at the social highlight of the fall semester, the Soph Cotillion. The Sophs made their debut into the formal circles of high Notre Dame society last Friday night at the Palais Royale, overlooking Walgreen's in downtown South Bend, only two hours' drive from the Loop. The 500 couples who peopled the Southern Plantation can vouch for the fact that the Class of 1954 has arrived socially. Al Trace's fine music, the classy southern motif carried out in the decorations, and the smooth organization with which the different committees discharged their duties made it truly a night to remember. For more pictures of the Southern Serenade, see page 13.

No Tears for Mrs. Flynn
The ways of the Communist Party are devious. Reds are known to many by their ability to use any means to achieve the desired end. We arot an interestine piece of mail this week that illustrates this litde point.
Mrs.. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, indicted this summer as one of the "second string" Communist leaders in this country, is now chairman of the "Self-Defense Committee of the Victims of the Smith Act." Her duties entail the dissemination of propaganda calling for repeal of the law outlawing the C. P. and demanding the release of the convicted Red leaders in this country. She is also soliciting funds to help carry on this valiant fight against the forces of Fascism.
Unfortunately we can't scrape up any dirty bourgeois currency to help her right now. We do have a few remarks on the subject, though.
In a single page of copy Mrs. Flynn attempts to ally Negroes, um'on members, all enemies of Fascism, and all students of the Bill of Rights with her own cause. In doing so, of course, her attitude is that only the Communist Party is the real defender of Negroes, of working people, of the basic freedoms of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution of the United States.
We're not going to state the obvious. To anyone at Notre Dame, statements like these should appear pretty ridiculous. But actually the letter isn't ridiculous at all.
The whole argument, in this particular case, is an appeal to stand up and fight for freedom of speech. There is no attempt to sell any Marxist doctrine, no attempt to enlist members for the Party ranks. This is merely a call for funds and support in one fight for the principles stated in the Bill of Rights.
It is this sort of thing that the Communists are very adept at. And it is just this sort of thing that is bound to ensnare those for whom the letter was intended in the first place.
An individual's duties to the community and the republic entail a lot more than just paying taxes and bearing arms in time of war. An important one is the ability to see through bogus causes like this one. A thinking American has to be able to distinguish between defenses of his freedom and causes that will lead him to ruin.
He must be aware of the subtle difference between medicine and poison.
This isn't always easy. It demands an enlightened and militant citizenry. Communism thrives on the disinterest and laziness of its enemies. I t also thrives on dissension and discord. That's why the little package of deceit in last week's mail gives us concern.
We hope enough Americans are awake to this sort of menace. We hope too that minority groups don't confuse the Red cause with their own. And we feivently hope that none of our colleagues in the collegiate press fall for this latest propaganda stunt. .
In answer to Mrs. Flynn's solicitation to this magazine for help, we have this to say: We fully agree with the Smith Act that the Communist Party is teaching and advocating a crime. To us there is no greater crime than treason — treason to God, to country and to fellow man.
Any contributions we ever make will be the sort intended to cause Mrs. Flynn the utmost distress.

Pipers lo Accompany
Band on Navy Trip Approximately 110 members of Notre
Dame's marching band are making the --tudent trip to AVashington, D. C, and Baltimore, Md., where the Irish musicians will share in the half time ceremonies of the Navy game tomorrow afternoon, saluting the opponents with ••Navy Gold and BUie."
Because the trip will cut down the number of possible rehearsals this week, Mr. H. Lee Hope expects to send his charges through their paces today at St. John's College in Washington, D. C. The band will lead a parade from the Clifton Park station in Baltimore, where the student tripper.'; dif^embark, to the Baltimore stadium.
The Fighting Irish Pipers accompanied the band and will also perform during half time. Mr. Hope stated that their appearance during the half time ceremonies of last week's game

was strictly an experiment, with no one quite sure what would happen.
Although somewhat deficient in volume, the eight giant pipers caught the fancy of the stadium crowd and were well applauded. The pipers have been working through the last week to strengthen their volume — with only eight members in the unit, the nece:?;ity of producing enough sound to be heard all over a huge stadium jiresents (piite a problem.
IRISH PIPERS Volume is a Problem
Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, vice-president of business affairs, discussed the Dining Hall situation from a financial point of view with the Student Council at its meeting Monday.
Father Joyce stated that the University policy in regard to the Dining Hall is to make sure that the student body is given good,' healthful food that is sufficient in quality, quantity, and variety, and will keep the students satisfied. In order to maintain such a standard, the food budget has been steadily raised during the past few years to meet rising food prices.
Although stating that the administration wanted to do everj-thing it possibly could to see the students better served in the Dining Hall, Father Joyce pointed out that the University conducts its affairs on an extremely limited financial basis and must be careful to restrict herself, as far as possible, to its budget.
As an example of what the Univer-.=;ity is up against financially in regard to the Dining Hall, Father Joyce remarked that food costs. for this year had risen 12 to 15 per cent over last year, and the food budget had been raised accordingly—^total costs to the students over last year, however, have gone up approximately five per cent.
Management Is Salaried
Neither the Dining Hall nor the huddle are operated on a concession basis—both enterprises are owned by the University and the management receives its pay on a salary basis, thereby eliminating any possible inducement to cut corners on the food in order to build up a larger commission.
In regard to the many student complaints transmitted to him through Council members, Father Joyce appeared to think that most of the griping could be traced down to the problems of variety and preparation of the food, which \nll always be difficulties involved in the sei-ving of as many people as the dining hall handles. However, he did express the opinion that

SORIN'S WITCHES A Two-Foot Trophy
*
Sorin Witches Woo Judges
To Win Hall Beauty Contest Witches and goblins hovered about
Sorin Hall last Saturday, and their presence there won for the Senior hall first place in the annual Hall Decorations Contest. The spirit of Halloween was in the air as John Purdue was depicted boiling in the witches' cauldron.
A two-foot trophy and a plaque were awarded to the Sorinites, who will keep the trophy till next year's contest and tlie plaque jjermanently.
In second place, by a very clo^e margin, was • St. Ed's and its doused boiler. The east siders erected a giant boiler with arms, legs, head, and a stomach pouring out smoke and fire. To save Notre Dame from this menace was Fireman Frank Leahy who squelched the rampaging boiler with his hose from St. Ed's roof.
The Juniors copped third place, as Badin Hall decorated its front lawn with a squad of infant Irish. The popular song "Too Young" was the inspiration for the Badin brainchild.
No cash prizes were awarded this year; St. Ed's and Badin Hall each received a plaque with the place they won engraved on it. Sorin's first place ti-ophy, although it stays with them only a year, will have engraved on it 'Sorin Hall—1951" at the top of the gold front plate, and will head the list of all future winners.
The cold and rain did not dampen the efforts of the hall decorators in the least. All the halls were represented, and they did think of some very weird fates for the Boilermakers.
Starting at 10 a.m., the judges. Dr.

M. K. Newman, Dr. William Burke, and Mr. Robert Schultz, began their tour of all the halls. At about 11:30 they completed their rounds and came up with the winners as announced.
Military Office Issues NewTest Applications
Every student who is a selective service registrant, and who has not previously taken the Selective Service College Qualification Test, is urged by the Office of Military aifairs to report to that office immediately in o^der to obtain Registration Form 106. All applications must be postmarked not later than midnight on ne::t Monday, Nov. 5, for the student to be eligiple to take the test.
This application will entitle him to take one of the two selective service tests which are to be given here en Dec. 13. 1951, and April 24, 1952.
'The Selective Ser\nce System has established a testing program to provide local Selective Service boards with evidence of the relative qualifications of registrants for college study. The test scores of registrants will provide the local boards with evidence of their aptitude for continued college work.
Tests will be given to those registrants who have begun, and plan to continue, their college or university studies, undergraduate or graduate. Fate Lies With Local Board
Scores on the test will not themselves determine eligibility for deferment, but those scores on the test will be used by the Selective Service local boards in considering the eligibility of registrants for occupational deferment as students.
Students whose academic year ends in January rather than June are advised to apply for the Dec. 13 testing in order that they may have a score on file at the time their classification or reclassification is being considered by their local Selective Service boards.
To be eligible to take the test, an applicant, on the testing date he selects, must be: (1) a Selective Service registrant who intends to request occupational deferment as a student; (2) satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or graduate, leading to a degree; (3) must not previously have taken the test.
All eligible registrants who wish to take the test should apply immediately.

Students, Visitors, Profs Prefer Decomtions Of Dillon, Sorin, Alumni, Morrissey in Contest
International Relations Group Features Fourth Discussion
The fourth in a series of five discussions on Communism in theory and practice, sponsored by the Notre Dame Committee on International Relations, will be held Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. in the lounge of the Rockne Memorial.
Topic of the discussion will be "The Communist Party in France," with Prof. J. B. Duroselle acting as discussion leader.
The remaining lecture will be entitled "What Must Be Done Against the Communist World Danger." All members of the Committee will participate, and it will be held on Nov. 15.
Dr. Waldemar Gurian, chairman of the committee, expressed the hope that more of 'the student body, especially those in the Department of Political Science and those interested in world affairs, would feel free to attend and participate in these discussions.
Knowing the tendency of Notre Dame men to disagree with anything professed by their profs. SCHOLASTIC conducted a poll this week to determine how much student opinion of hall decorations differed from the decisions of the three faculty members who judged the contest Saturday.
The judges picked Sorin, St. Ed's, and Badin, in that order, as the three best-decorated halls. All three halls were awarded plaques, and Sorin also gained a year's claim to the new decorations championship trophy.
But student opinion—as expected— did not entirely agree.
Of the 39 students (excluding, to avoid any chance of bias, those who named their own halls), and 11 faculty members, 14 voted Dillon's "wake" scene as tops. Dillon, however, had been disqualified on a technicality.
IOWA, u s e TICKETS
Tickets for the Iowa game at Notre Dame, Nov. 24, and for the Southern California tilt at Los .Angeles, Dec. 1, are still available at the Ticket Office.
Eleven ND fans backed up the judges' choice of Soi-in's Halloween theme for first-place honors.
Alumni's "Irish-R-Inn" and Morris-sey's huge typewriter were each rated best by eight people, while eight others were divided evenly between Howard and Badin.
A few visitors commented on the decorations in naming their favorites. Said Mr. and Mrs. Stuai-t Allan of Des Moines, Iowa: "Badin Hall's display of the baby team, signifying the Freshmen on the team, impressed us by its cleverness."
Dee Eisenbeil of St. Maiy-of-the-'xVoods College picked Morrissey's exhibit "on the basis of construction."
"I rate Howard Hall's display tops," said ND Sophomore Hai-vey Newquist, "if public interest is to be counted as a major factor." Howard's carnival theme featured a home-made gimmick whereby passersby would ti-y to ring a bell with a metal block by hitting a lever with a mighty blow of a mallet.
Some guests had difficulty understanding the "subtlety" of a few displays. Puzzling over a sign next to Farley's Boilermaker stewpot, Patricia Robinson of Chicago asked, "Who's Stew Holcomb?"

During his three-day stay at the University, Bunner and ND student head Jim Garvin made an extensive tour of the campus and exchanged ideas and information about their respective student governments.
Bunner, a junior in chemical engineering from Brooklyn, N. Y., arrived in South Bend on Friday night in time to attend the evening's pep rally and bonfire. Following the rally, he and local Council Vice-President Jim Man-nion looked in on the Sophomore Cotillion at the Palais Royale.
Saturday noon, the Boilermaker student head attended the President's luncheon held at the Rockne Memorial. After the luncheon, he proceeded to the Notre Dame Stadium, where he exuberantly cheered and shouted for his "favorite team."
Somewhat disheartened, but nevertheless "proud of the team's determined spirit," Don spent the evening at the Notre Dame Drill Hall, dancing to the music of Gene Hull and his Lettermen.
On Sunday morning Don visited with the members of the Notre Dame Student Council and explained to them the functions and operations of his own student administration.
Before departing for Lafayette Sun
day afternoon, Don highly pi-aised the Notre Dame student body for the spirit of unity shown on the campus.
"I was really amazed at the huge turnout and the way that the students followed the band around the campus before the pep rally," he said.
ND Council President Garvin stated that this policy of inviting the student head of visiting teams will be carried on in the future, in order to "encourage inter-collegiate spirit and undei--standing among Notre Dame and her friend.s."

Southern Serenade The wind was raw, the evening cold and
blustery, but a small bit of Northern Indiana that seceded from the South for a one-night stand knew only warmth and the smell of magnolia blossoms as a thousand beautiful belles and true Southern gentlemen danced away the hours of the annual -Sophomore Cotillion Friday night. There are few affairs so traditionally merry as a Southern Serenade, and this one was far from the exception. From the impeccable dress of the dashing gallants and the swishing formal gowns of the ladies, to the orchestra playing from the mansion balcony the evening was a wonderful perpetration of that tradition. For when the last strains of Al Trace's music faded down the bayous, when Northern Indiana again joined the Union early Saturday morning, and all throughout the rainy aftermath, the glow of the night never faded. Sophomore Class President Poden and friends take time out from dancing at

Survivor of Russian Labor Camp in Austria Tells of Ukrainian Resistance to Soviet Union
By FRANK JACKMAN
"First of all, understand, I am Ukrainian." So emphatically stated Dr. Michael Pap, special research assistant to the Notre Dame Committee on International Eelations.
"There is quite a difference, you see, between being a Russian and a Ukrainian. In 1654, the Ukraine, which up to that time had been free and independent, inade the bad mistake of forming a 'defensive' alliance with the Russians. Bohdan Chmelnytzky, hetman of tha Ukraine, concluded the treaty and was never seen again.
"In 1864, the Russian Foreign Office declared that there never had been any such place as the Ukraine. This they thought effectively disposed of all resistance. How wrong they were!"
Dr. Pap, a 31-year-old Ph.D. from Heidelberg University, is now preparing several articles on the difficulties of the Russians in the Ukraine.
Forced Labor in Austria
Born in the Carpathian part of the Ukraine, once a part of Czechoslovakia, he attended the Gymnasium at Bratislava and in 1942. due to the assassination of Reinhard "Hangman" Heydrich, the Gauleiter of Occupied Czechoslovakia, he and many other anti-Nazi students were brought to Austria as a forced labor group to work in the I. G. Farben Works there.
While there, he learned much about the inner workings of the U.S.S.R. from the many former citizens interned in the camp. "They were all bitter. When the Soviets came to 'liberate' us in the latter part of the war, none of us wanted to be 'liberated.' "
Dr. Pap fled Austria and went to Heidelberg, where he obtained his doctorate in Political Science.
Vivid Inipression of U. S.
After graduating from Heidelbei-g in 1948, Dr. Pap worked with the International Refugee Organization. "There, it was the same old story," he relates. "Students from the Soviet or from satellite countries did not want to go back behind the Iron Curtain. We had a great deal of difficulty with the Soviet Reparations Commission; they kept telling the i-eluctant students that it was their duty to their Motherland."
In 1949, Dr. Pap came to America. "My first impression of your counti-y was most vivid. My friends and I had
just gotten off the boat, and we knew very little English.
"We asked a policeman for directions and he did not curse us or order us away! He acted like a decent human being! In Europe this would not be possible. One of my friends sat down on the curbing and cried like a baby. I must confess that my eyes were not entirely dry."
Speaks Eight Languages
From New York, Dr. Pap proceeded to Detroit, where he got a job with the
MICHAEL PAP "How Wrong They Were!"
Chrysler Corporation. He says that he was the only machinist that could speak eight languages (German, Hungarian. Czech, Slovak, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and English).
In 19.50, he came to South Bend and got in touch with Dr. Waldemar Gurian, chairman of the Committee on International Relations, who obtained for him the position of special research assistant to the committee.
Because of his obvious knowledge of the Ukraine (his doctoral thesis was entitled The Problems of Ukrainian Statehood and Immigration), Dr. Pap was next questioned concerning the Ukraine in the Kremlin scheme of things to come. ,
"After the Russian Foreign Ofl'ice's idea of declaring it non-exxistent in 1864. its revolutionary activities were dormant until the Russian Revolutions of 1917-1920, when a Ukrainian-Gov-
ei-nment-In-Exile under the leadership of Alexander Levitsky emerged and began plimiping for a free and independent Ukraine. Despite the thorough penetration of the Communist Dogma elsewhere, the Ukrainians still do not regard Russia as their country.
"In 1941, when the Nazis came, the Ukrainian Partisan Ai-my, deceived by their promises, joined them in their fight against the Soviets. Too late, they found the Germans were no better than the Russians. They, then switched sides and were annihilated by both sides. Over 270 000 men under the leader of the Hetman, Bulbar, were slain before the war ended.
"That was generally considered to be the last of the Ukrainian Nationalist Army, but there are some rumors that there are a few still in hiding. This seems to be borne out by the fact that a group of about 170 got through the Iron Curtain to Vienna last year, and they reported that there was still resistance to the Soviets in the Ukraine.
"This fact and the fact that over 300,000 D.P.'s from the Ukraine are still resisting efforts to have them returned under the Yalta agreement and will be an important source of strength against the Soviets.
"Anyway you look at it, the Western World has some good staunch allies in the Ukraine, if the struggle for freedom be forced upon them by the Soviets. Tlie Ukrainians are old hands at the game of fighting Russians. They have been doing it since 1654."
Foreign Affairs Program Will Be Given by State Dept.
To obtain outstanding Seniors and graduate students with backgrounds in foreign affairs and related fields, the U. S. Department of State has announced its fourth Foreign Affairs Intern Program to colleges and universities throughout the United States.
The program, which will begin in September, 1952, will include 50 students selected through a screening-process designed to secure highly qualified administrators.
As was the case last year, the department will select approximately 150 ti'ainees for the program from those who pass the Civil Service Commission's Junior Management Assistant Examination.
Applications from Notre Dame students must be on file with the Commission by Nov. 13 so that the applicant may take the examination in South Bend Dec. 8. To apply, students should contact Dr. Paul-C. Ear-tholomew, head of the State Depart-
14 The Scholastic
ment Nominating Board here, or the Placement Office as soon as possible.
Foreign Affairs Interns will receive nine months of specialized job training which will include courses at the Foreign Service Institute, periodic conferences and seminars, and both observational and work assignments in tho various operating divisions.
JMA trainees will also participate in a six-to-nine-month program during which they will be assigned to one of the operating divisions or bureaus of the department, to be determined by their career interests and demonstrated abilities. JMA trainees will receive permanent assignments after the successful completion of the training program.
Salaries~for both Foreign Affair? Interns and JMA trainees are the same. Those with bachelor degrees will be paid at the rate of $3,100 per year, while those with higher degrees will receive an annual salary of $3,825.
All students with a background in foreign affairs, political science, economics, public administration, international relations, and related fields are urged to apply for nomination to the Foreign Affairs Intern Program and to take the JMA exam.
The Foreign Affairs Intern and JMA trainee appointments will be in Washington, D. C. It is possible for departmental employees, after completing a reasonable tour of duty in the home service, to be considered for temporary or permanent appointments in the foreign service at one of 300 U. S. embassies, legations or consulates thrcuigh-out the world.
Volunteers Who Tend Vetville Tykes Enfoy Icebox Privileges, All the Comforts of Home

Lawmen Launch Moot Court; Preliminaries Next Tuesday
Sixteen future lawyers, in eight teams, will square off next week in the preliminary arguments in the Dean's Award competition of the Notre Dame Moot Court. These will be held in the Law Building. Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
All students and members of the faculty are invited to attend the arguments, which are to be held in rooms 100, 102, 103, and 104 Law Building.
Of special note, and particularly to the follcwers of the Kefauver Crime Committee, will be the argument in room 102 on Wednesday evening. It contains the basic principles which the Notre Dame representatives will argue the following week in national competition in Chicago, and concerns the right of a person called before a Senate Investigating Committee to refuse to testify before television and motion picture cameras.
Approximately 80 students, mostly Juniors and Seniors, comprise one of the least known organizations on the Notre Dame campus. These are the men who "babysit" for the residents of the married students' Cvjmm.unity, Vetville.
SITTER AND FRIEND Service, Icebox Privileges
They perform this almost vital service knowing there is no monetary remuneration involved. But a sitter is paid in other ways: he has a change to a more homelike environment, is able to stay out till midnight and study without having a midnight charged against him, and—most enjoyable of all —has "icebox privileges." The people for whom he sits provide some sort of snack for him — potato chips, sandwiches, coke, or some other foods and beverages to which he may help himself.
The sitter is usually called by the couple desiring his services a few hours before they want him to sit. If he is able to go that evening he agrees to be at the apartment shortly before they go out. The children are generally put to bed before their parents leave, so the student can sit back and relax or begin his studies.
Of course, he may often do more than the word "sitting" implies. Any number of miscellaneous duties may require his attention and performance. He might be asked for a drink of water. The child, or children, as the case may be, generally gets out of bed and must be put back and tucked under the covers. He might have to sing a
lullaby in order to put the child to sleep; or even have to change a diaper, something that does not happen too infrequently.
The child is usually a "perfect angel" and rarely scribbles on the walls with crayons, tears up the sitter's textbook, or make the house look as if a cyclone had suddenly hit it.
Finally the childi'en are sound asleep in bed and eveiything is quiet so that the sitter can get something done.
By this time he begins to feel slightly hungry and decides to use his icebox privileges. "Having eaten all that was provided for him, ^ the student accomplishes some mox-e work. This he does until the parents arrive home to hear that he has had no trouble with the child.
And so the sitter leaves and goes back to his hall.
Any student who wishes to join the ranks of the babysitters may apply to Eev. Alfred Mendez, C.S.C., at 333 Badin Hall. Although the sitters are mainly Juniors and Seniors, all other students are permitted to apply. The time at which a student must return to his residence varies in the haUs and depends upon the wishes of the rectors.
Blue Circle Screens Student Nominations for 'Who's Who'
Final nominations for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities are expected by the Student Council at its meeting Monday, Nov. 12, when members will cast their votes.
Voting will be based on nominations submitted by the student body. Deans of all schools and pi'esidents of campus clubs also have been contacted for additional nominees.
Wh.en the last name is submitted, the Sophomore and Junior members of the Blue Circle will screen the nominees in order to submit the names of the worthiest students to the Student Council for the final choice. These names will be given to the Council on Nov. 12. It is expected that fewer than the maximum number of 60 names allowed will be submitted. The Council wiU choose half the number of names submitted. Those men who are finally chosen will be entered in the college Who's Who.
Who's Who is the recognition, through national publication, of the men repre^ sentative of the best student leadership on the campuses of the major colleges and universities in the United States.

O'Brien's 'Sharing the Faith' Adds Tips on Convert Work
Great impetus is given to the convert movement in America through the publication of the new symposium, "Sharing the Faith," edited by Rev. John A. O'Brien of the University of Notre Dame. The symposium is published by Our Sunday Visitor Press. The volume presents the latest and most successful methods of recruiting prospects and of
16
instructing them in the teachings and practices of the Catholic Faith.
A unique feature of the work is that it is designed as much for the laity as for religious and shows how every Catholic can win a convert for Christ every year. The keynote running through the entire book is that the \\inning of the millions of the churchless people in America can be accomplished only through the enlistment of the 28,000,000 Catholic people in this apostolate.
Chapters by Archbishop Do^vney of Liverpool, Archbishop Duke of Vancouver, Bishops Buddy, Feeney, Noll and Hunt in addition to Archbishop Gushing give the work an authoritative character, reflecting the mind of Christ and of His Church.
Priests who are avei^aging from fifty to a hundred converts a year share with the readers the technique of interesting outsiders in inquiry classes and information forums and show how such public lectures easily double or triple the average number of converts.

REYNOLDS GOES OVER Long Runs Through Big Holes
Dillon Trounces St. Ed's; Covanough Victors As Interholl Gridiron Play Nears Completion
Plenty of precision power plays meant a 25-0 defeat for St. Edward's when they took on their older and more experienced rival—Dillon Hall.
Dillon tallied in the first and last plays of the game. Fullback Jim Murphy ran 40 yards through the center to open the scoring, and right half Van Snider went one yard for a TD just before the final gun. In between these two six-pointers came two more, one by halfback Ed Deboer, and the other by Murphy again.
Dillon quarterback John O'Brien did a fine job of handling the baU and his blocking was one of the main reasons the Juniors gained so much yardage. The solid play of the Dillon line, both offensively and defensively, was the factor responsible for the lopsided score. The most noticeable of the forward wall were tackle George Kirchner, center Alex Dunn, and guard Don Rampolla.—Tom Moore
Cavanaugh strengthened their claim to the Eastern Division title by downing a stubborn Farley team for their
Nov. 2, 1951
second straight victory of the campaign, 19-0.
On the kickoif Farley halfback Joe Pucenelli was hit hard and the ball squirted out of his hands and Cavanaugh recovered. Aaron Dyson's eleven wasted no time in converting this break into a touchdown. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Pete Chase faded back and threw to Pat Connley who dragged in the toss for the first score. The conversion was good.
Tom Short again kicked off. Four plays later the hard-charging Cavanaugh eleven broke through and blocked a Farley punt. Alert play by Mike Laughlin who picked up the bouncing ball and raced 25 yards untouched produced their second tally. The first attempt at the P.A.T. was good, but a penalty set the ball back on the 17. The second try was wide.
Late in the first half Farley's hopes were dampened as Pucenelli was taken from the game with a dislocated shoulder.
Irish Seek Sixth Win In Row Over Middies
By BILL NOONAN
After disposing of one of their traditional foes last week, Notre Dame's football forces travel to Baltimore to engage another arch-rival tomorrow. Navy, which has met the Irish on the gridiron more times than any of the other nine 1951 opponents, will provide the opposition.
Year after year. Navy tackles one of the most rugged schedules in the land and this year it seems the Goat has bitten off more than he can chew. So far, in five contests, the future admirals have tied one and lost four, some of them real heart-breakers. The tie occurred in the opening game with Yale; the score was 7-7. The Navy then made powerfxil, undefeated Princeton scramble for a 24-20 win. .The Rice Owls, conqueror of SMU, also knew they were in a game when they edged the Sailors, 21-14. Two weeks ago. Navy dropped a 16-7 decision to-Northwestern, coach Eddie Erdelatz's crew held a good Penn team to a scoreless standoff for three quarters only to succumb to a last-period Quaker onslaught, 14-0.

He says, however, his special desire is to beat Notre Dame, having already suffered under two defeats by the Irish. One thing's for sure, he'll give the ND pass defense a workout, and his running will keep the forwards on their toes also. Mike Sorrentino, a slick ball-handler, has seen extensive action this year and might get the s tar t ing call tomorrow. Bob Cameron, another signal caller is the team's ace punter.

Two of Notre Dame's future opponents came through with victories last weekend, while the other three teams which the Irish squad has yet to face were defeated. The undefeated Spar tans of Michigan State and Trojans of Southern Cal kept right on rolling along, while Navy, North Carolina and Iowa bit the dust.
Michigan State jumped to a 13-0 first quar ter lead a t Eas t Lansing, but then had to come from behind in the second half for the fourth s t ra ight game. State racked up 27 first downs—19 of them on the ground—as they methodically overwhelmed the outmanned Panthers . The Spar tans scoring was evenly divided, Don McAuliffe being their only player to hit paydir t twice.
Bob Bestwick, the g rea t quarterback of the fighting Panthers , put on somewhat of a one-man exhibition, as he set a whole host of all-time Pit tsburgh records by completing 26 of 39 passes for a total of 345 yards, 18 of Pi t t ' s 26 first down.'^, and two touchdowns.
Trojans Edge TCU
Out on the west coast the Southern Cal team duplicated its feat of last week and scored two fourth quar ter touchdowns, then hung on desperately to edge a determined Texas Christian outfit, 28-26.
T!ie Trojans and Horned Frogs were deadlocked a t 7-7 a t the half and only the heroic play of F r a n k Gifford, who scored two touchdowns, and Al Carmi-chael kept the Trojans in the ranks of the undefeated.
At Philadelphia, Navy battled the University of Pennsylavnia on even terms throughout the first three quarters , then went under fighting as the injury-riddled Quakers, spai-ked by the running and passing of Gerry Eobinson, drove to two fourth period tallies. The Penn scoring mai'ches ^of 71 and 49 yards were capped by end Johnny Moses and fullback Don Zimmer, who scored the Quakers touchdowns.
Tarheels Location
At Wake Forest, North Carolina, the Deacons capped their homecoming weekend and -with a thorough 39-7 licking of the University of North Carolina Tarheels in a Southern Conference fray. Six TD's and the conversinon of one out of every two extra points gave Wake
Forest their total, while they completely outplayed the bewildei'ed Tarheels in every department.
At Columbus. Ohio, the Iowa Hawk-eyes were the victims of the stored-up wrath of Ohio State 's Buckeyes as Tony Curcillo stepped in for the injured all-American Vic Janowicz and threw four touchdown passes, while personally lugging the ball aci-oss the double-stripe on two other occasions. Iowa, as has been the case in every one of their games this season, racked up more first downs than their opponents, but couldn't win the touchdown race.

Purdue Harriers Fall; Johansson Sets Mark
Despite the sparkling performances of the Boilemiakers ' Denis Johansson and Matthews, who took the first and second places respectively, Notre Dame's long distance boys defeated their Purdue guests, 25 to 33 in their cross count ry chase last Saturday morning.
Johansson, a sensational Freshman, paid no heed to the wet weather conditions as he raced over the four-mile route to break the Irish course record with a time of 19:50.6. The old mark was held by Wisconsin's Don Gehrmann who made it in 19:59 back in 1949.
Johansson covered the home stretch "like a dash man" to use the words of a wide eyed spectator. Purdue's Matthews also did some fine running as he put on a terrific finishing spurt to come in second wnth a time of 20:11.
However, the Irish copped the next five places to tr iumph. Once again they were led by their two stellar harr iers , Jack Alexander and Benny Almaguer.
The two were side by side until the last two hundred yards and then Alexander came through with his well known finishing kick to edge out Almaguer by 2/10 of a second, 20:16 to 20:16.2.
Bob Feiler, George Helfenstein. and Con Tetraul t of ND took the next three places in tha t order to br ing the Irish their second victory in three dual meets this season.—Roger Fernandea
Kampus Kcglers Under Way; Detroit Swamps Metallurgy
The Kampus Keglers opened their 1951 bowling season in fine style last Sunday, with all 36 teams occupying the Bowl-Mor Alleys in South Bend from 1:15 p.m. until approximately 4 o'clock.
As in previous years, the 36 teams are divided into two separate leagues, the Blue and the Gold, with 18 teams in each. This season, President Lou Garip-po has gotten the league underway a few weeks earlier than in the past, with the main purpose in mind of finishing up earlier this Spring when the bowling usually tends to slack off.
The leading result from last week's matches saw the defending champions, the Detroit Club, pick right up where they left off last season by making a clean sweep of thi'ee games and four points from the Metallurgy Club.
The high single three game total last week was a 518 series rolled. by Lou Falvo of the Rochester Club, while the top score of the day was registered by J . O'Brien of the Buffalo Club with 209.

Last Saturday in the cross country meet between Noti-e Dame and Purdue, the Boilei-makers' Denis Johansson set a new mark for the Notre Dame four-mile course when he ran the distance in 19:50.6 to knock more than seven seconds off the old record set by Wisconsin's Don Gehrman in 1949. However, in the course of the t rek around the lakes, Johansson, who led the pack all the way, s tar ted to take a wrong turn. If it hadn' t been for the shouts of the three Irish har r i e r s closest to him, the Purdue runner would probably not have won the race, let alone broken the record. I t was a fine display of sportsmanship on the pa r t of Notre Dame's Benny Almaguer, Bob Feiler and Jim Alexander.
Sign of the Times
Gad, every sport is going big-time it seems. Last week, after Dillon had decisively defeated Walsh by the score of 6-0 in the interhall touch
football leagfue. Bill Gorman, -:.: •" • . player - coach - manager - cheer
leader of the Walsh eleven, found this note attached to his door . . . "Good-by Bill . . . The Walsh Alumni."
Saturday's Game
In last Saturday's game against Purdue, the Fight ing Irish didn't score as much as they have in their previous four games, but they certainly looked better than they did a t any other time. They played as a team both on offense and defense. Several of the long runs by Paul Reynolds would not have been possible if i t weren't for the huge gaps opened by J im Mutscheller, Bob Toneff and the rest of t he forward wall.
JOHN MAZUR
While the oftensive team ground out 334 yards, the defense held the Boilermakers to 98 yards on the ground. Right now, Notre Dame's defense is rated second in the country as fa r as rushing is concerned.
Quarterback John Mazur turned in his finest performance thus f a r this season. His signal calling was beautiful in both timing- and variation. There seemed to be very few times when the Purdue defense knew what to expect.
Bill Barre t t ' s running display was dimmed by his punting. The speedy little halfback from Chicago had a 43-yard average on four high punts . . . long enough to deposit the ball deep in Purdue terr i tory and high enough to allow Irish tacklers to get downfield.
Prediction of the Week
Tomorrow afternoon Baltimore will be the scene of the silver anniversary of the Navy-Notre Dame grid r ivalry. Tomorrow afternoon the fighting Midshipmen will at tempt to do what four other Navy teams have done — beat Notre Dame. However, chances are tha t Navy won't even gain a second tie and will fall to Notre Dame for the twentieth t ime; this time by a 40-0 score.

Navy (Continued from Page 18)
left tackle is ranked with the academy's all-time tackle greats. Walt Gragg and Fritz Davis, the only three-sport letter winner in the academy, are defensive standouts. Frank Dorsey, a plebe mainstay last year is also in the picture.
Veteran Bill Steele and Dave Fischer, All-East mention last year, lead the guard brigade. Bob Lowell, a '50 starter, rates right behind them. Bill Bryson, a regular for two seasons, is the offensive center, while Ted Kukow-ski and Bernie Botula take over as linebackers when the Blue and Gold is on defense.
Notre Dame fans, many of whom will witness the game in person due to the student trip, shouldn't have too much concern, however, if the Irish backfield works as well as it did against Purdue . . . no matter how torrid Mr. Zastrow may be. Brilliant is the word for the performances of Messrs. Mazur, Reynolds, Lattner, Worden and Barrett last week.
Samuels Consistent Threat
The game wasn't wrapped up until late in the last period. Dale Samuels,
the diminutive Purdue quarterback, was a constant threat all day and it wasn't until Johnny Lattner reeled off a beautiful 40-yard run for a marker in the third period that the Irish could relax their breathing. Up till then it was touch and go. The Irish had taken a first half lead on Paul Reynolds' three-yard dive over the middle, but the Boilermakers tallied once in the third period and went ahead 9-7 on a lusty 42-yard field goal by Jim Reichert. Minnie Mavraides answered this with one of his own from* the 16 a few minutes later. The sun came out around that time and the Irish were off. Leading 17-9 on Lattner's work of ar t going into the fourth, Leahy's lads pushed over two more with Barrett scoring from the two' and later on Mutscheller grabbing a short heave from Mazur to end the scoring.
Notre Dame Bees Tie Tough Purdue Squad
The Notre Dame and Purdue B squads battled to a 7-7 tie in a driving rain on Cartier Field Saturday morning.
Early in the first quarter Irish fullback Joe Caprara broke through from thirty yards out for a T.D. only to have

it called back by an offside penalty. Later in the same quarter the Irish
roared back to score. Quarterback Tom Martin passed to end Steve Gomola who lugged the leather fifty yards to the Purdue six. Martin called the same play again and it was good for a touchdown. Ted Bientz kicked the extra pioint.
The Boilermakers tied it up in the third quarter on a drive sparked by the •running of Lou Kerestes, brother of former Purdue star, John Kerestes. Kerestes plunged over from the twelve. Matt Werle converted to tie up the game.
Purdue threatened to go ahead in the same quarter when they drove to the Irish ten. Then Irish linebacker Ait Nowack intercepted a pass in his own end zone and ran it out fifty-five yards to the Purdue forty-five before being-dragged down from behind.
Along with Nowack, Jim Dunlay and Pat Galvin looked very good on defense. Galvin, a freshman, diagnosing plays beautifully, raced up from his safety spot many times to nail men on the line.
The B squad will entrain next Thursday for Memphis, where they will play the University of Tennessee B squad. The following week they play Michigan State at Lansing, then the ^veek after that on Nov. 16 they play Michigan
State here at Notre Dame.-John Cox

Dining Hall Policy (Continued from Page 9)
improvements could be made in those cases where a real abuse exists, and urged the Council to continue its work in this regard.
The Council suggested the idea of establishing a student menu committee to confer with Mr. Ford, Dining Hall manager, on planning the menu for future weeks. Father Joyce thought the idea a very good one, and something that might easily be worked out. No definite action on the subject was immediately taken, however.
In order to carry its investigation further, the Stu-deni- Council voted to ask Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, executive v i c e - president. Rev. Charles Carey, vice-president in charge of student affairs. Father Joyce, and Mr. Ford to a special meeting of the Council in the very near future.

Ihe Mack Vaae By Bill Riley
Up on the fourth floor of Walsh, where live as fine and gregarious a group of young men as you would hope to find were you to search the whole world over, and whei-e, incidentally, I live between September and June, Ave have a maid named Fidelia. No one, so far as I know, has any idea Avhat Fidelia's last name is. And just as surely, thei-e is no one on that particular floor who does not know her by her given name.
Fidelia speaks very little English, and a good deal of French, the latter generally when she is disturbed with the general condition of the room and can only express her extreme distaste at our general slovenliness by going into her native tongue. At those times the rapid-fire flow of vowels and consonants is something to behold.
Unfortunately, most of us speak little French. Often we don't know what is mangeant the good Fidelia. It becomes necessary that we employ a translator. Such happened one day in a little dispute over whether or not the I'oom was to be vacuumed. Fidelia held, and with some precedent, it must be admitted, that her job was to sweep the floors with a broom, not a vacuum cleaner. We pointed out that it was just as easy to vacuum rugs as to broom floors. The dispute hinged over whether or not brooming and vacuuming w^ere to be considered equivalent. Fidelia insisted, in good strong, vital Gallic, that she was within her rights. We were standing fast, though. Finally, we called in the maid from the first floor, who gave Fidelia what could be considered a fairly adequate chewing out in any language. For a week after that, we were awakened in the morning to low, guttural growls, en francais. All is forgiven now, though, the rugs are being vacuumed (faithle spirituelaire) or something like that, and w-e wake up each moi-ning to a cheery "bon jour." And we did it without the U.N.
Remember Georgia?
Something along this line happened when we were freshmen, \o these many years, in 1948. On what is now the "W" line in chow hall west, there was an elderly lady who went under the incongrruous name of Georgia. White-haired, dimple-chinned, she was the
22
very essence of that gentle old-age that has been glorified in mother's day ads. She had a temper that was roughly like that of a two-year-old cougar with a burr under his tail. The slightest deviation from routine would cause her to explode from behind the gate (it's gone too, now), like Whirlaway breaking at Churchill DO\\TIS, only with blood in her eye. Simultaneously she would lash out verbally and physically, verbally in a language that was strange to the eai", physically, in language common to all men. We learned how to fend off the adept kicks she aimed our way, but Avere stumped as to how to parry the words. It just didn't seem effective to blast her back in English when it was obvious that she didn't understand a word Ave Avere saying.
Then, a young man Avho shall remain anonymous but Avho is of southeastern European descent came to dinner Avith us one evening. Georgia cut loose. He looked at her, smiled sweetly, and said something that sounded to me like "omni sit umn golumno." Georgia blanched, backed aAvay, and never troubled us again. The young'man became one of those unsung heroes—^men Avho have come through, unheralded, in the clutch.
Let's Stop the Irish Confetti
On an entirely different subject, there is perhaps still a little to be said concerning student demonstrations at the pep rallies and games- I wasn't in a position to see Avhat happened at the SMU game. Giving the troops a break, it can be said that the goal line cheering Avas much more normal reaction to a tense moment than any attempt to sabotage SMU's play-calling. The other stuff, including the Irish confetti, in my humble opinion, stinks. Representing the University of Notre Dame, crudity in any form, Avhen seen by 60,000,000 or so people, hurts her reputation and yours. Pure percentages, it Avould seem to me, Avould dictate that gentlemanly behaviour be foUoAved. To do otherwise is not only a childish play, it's a stupid one.
And, to the nameless young men Avho practice their witticisms Avhile protected by the dark at pep rallies, mocking men such as Mel Allen, who gave up his time, came from the train to the rally, Avith only a few minutes
to Avash up and no dinner, A\'ell, boys, you are out of there. Maybe you think that you A\-ill gain admiration by your heckling. Maybe you're right. If you are, God help this place in the next few years. I never have gone along Avith this "fuzzy-faced frosh" stuff, but if that Avas an example of relatiA'e maturity, maybe there's something to it. I t doesn't take any guts and very little Avit to be a heckler. All it takes is an above average supply of asininity.
It seems to me that this. soi-t of action could set back the cause of student goA^ei-nment several years. Some members of the administration begin to belieA'e that the students AAall accept more responsibility and act fairly mature, and some wise guy mouths off. Conclusion by administration members: They act like kids, Ave'll treat them like kids. AnsAver by students: They treat us like kids, Ave'll act like kids. The students, though, have to take the first step. It doesn't take any profound insight to realize that a few instances such as the pep rally heckling will ruin a lot of good, conscientious AA'ork on the part of those AA'ho are trying. May I suggest, just once more, that the few get AA'ise. You're fouling it up.
Delay Poor Souls' Novena Till Student-Trippers Return
student Chaplains Avill offer nine Masses during the month of November for the deceased friends and relatives of Notre Dame students.
Boxes AAill be set up by the pamphlet racks in Dillon, HoAvard and Cavanaugh halls to receive lists of names for remembrance. The names of the persons to be remembered Avill be placed on the altar Avhere the Mass is being celebrated.
The annual novena for the poor souls Avill begin after Notre Dame men return from the Navy football trip. As is customary, it Avill be a semi-public novena of Masses, Communions, rosaries and adoration periods for nine consecutive days.
Rev. Richard Grimm, c.s.c, Avishes to commend the general response on the part of the students for October adoration. It Avas among the best in recent years. Father Grimm Avould like to thank the third Order of St. Francis and the Y.C.S. for their Avoi'k in canvassing the halls for adorers.
Missals are still being offered for sale at the offices of the Student Chaplains at greatly reduced prices. Various editions are available for $2 to $9.50.
