and world famous economist from the University of Chicago, addressed a meeting of the International Re­lations Club on Monday evening, February 14 in the Seminar Room of the College Library. Approaching his topic, "The Economics of Fascism,'' in the age-old scholastic manner, Dr. Palyi began by defining terms and setting the issue clearly before his audience. He then stated the facts as they occured in the two chief Fascist countries, Germany and Italy, polnting out how the system was working at the present time. His explanation of the <~closed cir­culation system" of Italy and Ger­many was especially interesting. The open forum which followed the lec­ture proved to be exceptiomilly in­teresting ,especially when such vital topics as the difference in the re-

used to support selfishness and in­justice; men of tbe understanding of Lincoln to realize the essential unity of mankind; men of the fai th of Lincoln to believe that there is a God Who has made laws that will bring men peace, security and ha p­piness, if they are only observed. If the readers of the destinies of the world could only say as honestly as Lincoln said "No one is more deeply than myself aware that withou t God's favor our highest wisdom is but as foolishness, and that our most s trenuous efforts would avail no thing in the shadow of His displeasure" , the day of e t ernal peace would be measurably nearer .

The modern world, unfortuna t ely, has for a long while abandoned any prac tical belief in God in the sense that it has any deep seated convic­tions that the will of God m us t be done in a ll th ings. When we realize as Lincol.ri did, that when the wa ys of men str ay from the laws of God, they lead only to ruin and destruc­tion, and when we are willing to face opposition, obloquy and persecution in order to defend the r ight, we shall h ave grasped the lesson the life of Lincoln teaches. ·

In one of the da rkest moment sof this country's his tory, Lincoln said these words : "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.

During his student days, 01Le.fty" was connected with the tot­lowing organizations: Debating So­ciety, Cisca, N. Y. A., Holy Name Society, C. Y. 0 ., and many other organizations and campus activities.

No one ever knew Goblob's Chris­tian name; when asked what is was, be would reply "Lefty". Goblob sign- 1

ed all his term and theme papers with the familiar signatur&-"Lefly".

Ranking secona moly to Taboodle in athletic endeavors, Goblob was a colorful character in the Viator sport world. In one respect, "Lefty" had Taboodie beat, it was ,that when training for a big football or basket­ball game, Joe Taboodle required, rather demanded, three days s leep while "Lefty" only !lllked for fourty­eight hours to rest his weary bones for a game.

During his sophomore year, ' 04, "Lefty" won "The Cup" three con­secutive times and thus gained per­manen t possession of it for the en-tire year

It is rumored about that "Lefty" was the person who did Taboodie's homework; however, "Skinny" Dugan denies this fact and says it is just an ugly rumor and t hat he is the one r esponsible for Taboodie's grad­uation. ("Skinny" Dugan will be dis­cussed thoroughiy in a later issue.)

Goblob was a youth of such un­canny and unbelievable strength that after a game at Carbondale, he plunged through the Stadium wall a nd rushed over t o his g irl's bouse, she was peeved at him because he was la te for the date.

Speaking of free throws, here is one for the books. The Christian Brothers High School of St. Louis, recently won the free throw contest sponsored by a St. Louis paper, and the next day lost t o Cathedral High (Springfield, lllinois), by making only four out of twenty free throws. Which f urther shows the inconsist­ency of basketball teams.

Viator's cagers will face one of the toughest opponents of the season when they meet State Normal's "Redbirds" tonight a t Normal. And the Profs will be led by one of the h eav:iest scoring guards in Normal history in the person of Captain Willard Balding. He i.s particularly effective from midcourt and is rank­ed along with s uch former Normal satellites as Pim Goff and Dorrance Darling. Although Balding failed to score a single fielder against the Irish in their first game this year, mainly due to a lot of tough lucl< at the hoop, he w ill be a marked man on the Viator defense.

LOVE FOR BOOKS "\Vithout a love for books eveu the richest man is poor" is

the sign we r ead as we enter the library. " Love for books" is rather general so let us limit om· fi eld

as well as our discussion to the J:eading of novels. A no yel con­sists of essentially a narrative plot, of considerable length , pre­senting a unified, collSistent picture of human life and character. But a novel is, in actuality, much more than the mere definition establishes. A novel introduces us to superior men and woman, it acquaints us with men and women we hardly dreamed of meet­ing. A novel renders us the convenience or opportunity of spend­ing at random delightful hours with these persons of fame and prestige.

Picture yourself in a quiet room, a fireplace , an easy chair, light from a solitary lamp, and in an adjoining chair a man like Sinclair Lewis, Dale Carnegie, A. J. Cronin, of Lloyd C. Douglas; of a woman such as Shelia Kaye-Smith, Willa Cather, or Margaret Mit chelL Dispensing with contemporaries we can discuss, question, and debate philosophy of the pessimistic kind with Hm·dy, idealism and virtue with Dickens, manners in a well regulated society with 'William Dean Howells, Jane Austen or Edith Wharton. We can, if we will, explore the minds of the ancients and investigate the theories of Plato and Aristotle. Certainly this ability of gaining an insight into the beliefs and disbeliefs, the likes and dislikes, prejudices and opinions is enticing. Hm,-eYer , t here is something as much if not more intriguing in r eading a worthwhle novel.

When we r ead a uol'el we not only become intimate with the author but we also meet a host of characters who become either ?nr fri ends or our en emies. l Ye love, bate, admire, respect, sympath­Ize, fo llow the exp eriences of th e personages in noYels with the ~Mne avidity we display toward our animate, tangible, everyday fr1ends. 'ro us these men a nd women live and ar e real d epending, of course, on t he quality of the artists workmanship. "\ s a matter of fact, if a. man r eads books, he hardly requires f riends b esides those he finds, acquaints, and cherishes therein. Have y ou met Scarlett 0 'Hara, Tess Durbeyfield, J eannie Deans, Becky Sharp , or Lucy Gayheart; or have yon made the acquaintance of Rhett But­ler.

purpose a little narrative frequently told by one of our more eminent "philosophic sophists" might be fit­ting. At any rate here is the story. It seems as if this master of pole­mics while visiting in New York, wandered, by chance, into one of the more exclusive "places." A faro~

ous connoisseur of liquor had just made a considerable wager as to his ability. After tbis noteworthy personage, while blindfolded, has successively tasted and named an array of drinks, the bartender, with whom the bet had been made, in desparation slipped a g lass of water in the line. The connojsseur came to the water, tasted it, hesitated, appeared puzzled and finally ex­claimed, "Whatever it is it never will he a popular drink." By tbe way, what bas all this to do with Mattingly and Moore? Oh well-it is said that anything can be written in Foo. Moreover, where the Foo falls so the Foo falls. Foo what?

It's simple, isn't it? And yet, like so many simple things, it is too valuable to omit for even one day.

1-femorize this Morning Offering : "0 Jesus, through the Immac­

ulate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for roy sins. for the intentions of all our Associates and in particular for the Intention recommended each month by the Holy Father."

Say it every morning. Get into tbe habit of saying it at the first break of day so that it will be so much a part of your ordinary Hfe tha t if you omit it, during. your vacations or after your graduation, the omission of it will be as notice­able as the omission of your break· fast.-Notre Dame Bulletin .

SIGMA MD By C. Gilbert

The names of sL"< pledges were disclosed last Friday at the regular weekly meeting of Sigma Mu En­gineering Fraternity. They are : Pro­fessor Wilkinson, of the Mathematics Department, Jack Brown, '41; Fred Cashman, '40; Dick Raycr, '41; Ber­nard Burke, '41; and Robe~t Regan, '39. They will be pledged to the society for a period of tw oweeks. In charge of pledge duties are J;!ob Brinkoetter, chairman of the com­mittee on pledging, Ed O'Connor, and Bro. Cyril V. Peckham. The pledges were selected on the basis of high scholastic standing and favorable personality. After a period of two weeks the pledges will be initiated and formally admitted as full-fledge members.

The remainder of last week's meet­ing was. given over to Brother Durke C. S. V., who gave a highly technic­al and extremely intricate mathe­matical dissertation on the advan­tages and efficiency of V -shaped belts in machinery. He compared them with the efficiency of flat belts. Dr. Gilbert Kinzer, head of the Engineering Department, also aided in the discussion and presented a number of interesting facts in connection with Brother Durke'c pre­sentation.

Mr. Dusenbury ~as developed into a junior Bob Burn.s and has thrown ln quite a good deal of Munchausen with his rambling accounts of his adventerous travels in South Amer­Ica. We belleve that he would make a fine fisherman or la,.vyer.

This passion for clearness appears nowhere more manifest than in the French language itself, the clearness of which is a commonplace. It is for this reason, rather than because it is the earliest settled European idiom, and because of French pre­ponderance in European affairs, th~t it is the language of diplomacy. It is at once a compliment to it clar­ity, it preciseness, and an admission of its superiority to say that the official language of the court of England (and consequently the Em­pire )is French - to say that it has been the language as far as usuage goes, at the peace and dis­armament conferences of Geneva and the Hague. It is impossible to be at once correct and obscure in French. Expressed in French, a proposition cannot be ambigions. Ar>Y given collocation of words bas a signigicance that is certain.
