SC Meets EWCE in ReturnMatch on Garrigan FloorChiefsFifthand SixthGames inWincoSeries Fought Friday and Saturday

This week-end SC students and Seattle fans will see afighting Chieftain team for the first time in action againsta Winco opponent. The two-game Washington Intercolle-giate Conference series will open tonight at eight o'clock' "

in Garrigan Gym when the SeattleCollege quintet meets the power-ful Cheney Teachers from theEastern Washington College ofEducation.

The two tilts mark Coach JoeBudnick's initial home appearancesince the Chieftains invadad ene-my territory east of the moun-tains two weeks ago. Althoughthe SC team lost its two previousgames to the Cheney Savages bydecisive scores, this series shouldbe of a brighter hue with theChieftains on their nome floorand in the midst of their owacheering sections.

Savages FavoredThe Chieftains will be begin-

ning their home stand against ahighly favored Eastern Washing-ton team that already has downedthe SO five twice, 74 to 47 and 92to 33. These scores add up to aforty-two point advantage pergame for the Savages.

To the Maroon and White willgo the job of trying tostop CoachRed Reese's high-powered mach-ine that has mademince-meat outof most of its opponents. As thiswill be their first visit in Seattle,the Savages probably will be outto smother the Chieftains while

The Intersection of Broadwayand Madison, where for years Se-attle College students and facultymembers alike have risked lifeand limb dodging racing automo-biles, is finally getting a trafficsignal.

Plans to install the light wererevealed by the City Traffic De-partment this week. The actionculminates many years of efforton the part of the College to con-vince officials downtownthat traf-fic at the intersection, whichforms one corner of the campus,was heavy enough to warrant a

Back in the days when manyclasses were held in the K. C. hall,this intersection loomed as a ser-ious threat to the scholars of SC.

Student volunteers acting as traf-fic policemen eased the situationduring the morning hours, but inthe afternoons, pedestrians werestrictly on their own. Many a stu-dent, mentally weighted with theprospect of a coming examination,missed getting run down purelyon the strength of a past novena.

Installation of the light, how-ever, may have its disadvantages,too. When the city placeda traf-fic signal at Seventh and Union apoliceman was put on duty to en-force observance of the signal. Un-doubtedly Broadway and Madisonwill also getapoliceman,and jay-walking students who have beencrossing Madison directly fromthe college's side door, will haveto mend their ways.

Some months ago in a guestitorial, Iwas permitted to voice

my criticism of our ASSC consti-tution. My comments, althoughvery brief, were an attempt topoint out the most important diffi-culty, which can be expressedsimply as a complete inadequacy.Unforeseen and yet possible cir-cumstances have been neglected.

At .the time, Isuggested a re-vision of our present constitutionor formation of an entirely newguiding document. However, forvarious reasons,Iwas prompted toforego theinitiation of any ventureas drastic as this. Ifeel that thetime is now advantageous for thismove and therefore Ishould liketo make a plea for support.

The question might be askednow: Why amInot working onthe revision of the constitutionsince Iam so firmly imbued withthe idea that the constitution is Ioutmoded and inadequate?

This can be answered by sayingthat Ido not feel qualified to re-vise the constitution. If this re-view were to deal with my divisionof studies, Iwould immediately goto the fore; since itconcerns prob-lems of law,Ifeel thata pre-legalstudent should handle it. OurASSC constitution is, after all,our school law. Not only am I

fcnly convinced that a pre-lawdent should edit it, but Ifeel

that it is an excellent opportunityfor some student tb reap aharvestfrom the fruits of his labors inhis pre-legal studies.

Because Ifeel that someonemust take the initiative, Ishould

A mile of dimes calls for a MARCH ofDIMES.

Your Dime...

A recent report signed by a groupof national educators declared that to-day's political problems are due to acomplete confusion in the minds ofthe people. It is more vital than ever,therefore, the professors decided, thatcollege students study and argue pub-lic questions. They also reiterated thefact that college men and women arerecognized as the small vein that leadsto a rich lode.

Because we are the largest Catho-lic college on the Coast, we most cer-tainly are expected to supply some ofthe material for leadership. Wartimeacceleration programs were expectedto tune us to the tempo of peacetimeresponsibilities. We admit that attimes we labeled most of the sugges-tions as impractical and stuffed themaway until better days. At that timewe were justified because under theexisting conditions we could do little.

But now the stir of national prob-lems within the last few weeks causesus to air those views and resume ourresponsibilities. The politicians havewarned us to be ready to calm thestorms of labor and finance, stirredup as an aftermath of the war.

This call to arms comes not as ashock because we have been ground-ing ourselves upon such principles asare necessary for intelligent leadershipever since we came to college. Wehave been taught to formulate, weigh,and distinguish our own opinions.The question of strike-bound indus-tries is now being discussed in laborclasses. Out of our lecture halls shouldcome the basis for solutions to socialand economic problems and for theformation of our political beliefs.

These convening educators also be-lieve that college students are the onlyones who are likely tobe familiar withworld affairs. So it seems that if wecontinue to argue politics over a cupof coffee in the cavern or instigatecontroversies in club meetings wemight eventually have some influenceon the thought and life of our world.

Our World

the best of it Although Ray-mond Swing is presented, byinnuendo, as a fellow traveler,the New Dealing commentatorsare simply ignored. The manfurthest to the left in the vol-ume is Walter Winchell andWlnchell is pickedclean, thoughnot for his opinions.

Some of the Hearst writers,always excepting Winchell andPearson, come off very well.Thus our old friend, WestbrookPegler, is placed somewherebetweenSavanarola and Lincolnand very close to God. In thissection,by NBC's John B. Ken-nedy, the whole questionof Peg-ler"s honesty (he recently im-plied that the Gl's who staffYank and Stars and Stripes arecombat

-dodging communists

and saboteurs) is passed offwith the old he-has-never-beenconvicted-of-libel routine, al-though this type of claim to agood character is neatly ex-posed elsewhere in the book.And with a straight face weare assured that "intimatesclaim he is no enemy of organ-ized labor."

Kennedy himself is fulsomelyeulogized, a hard-pressed re-viewer throwing in that he is agood family man.

The book in general, however,while partial, flippant and un-scholarly, is, nevertheless, read-able and mildly informative.

Guest-Reviewed by Roscoe BalchThe power once wielded by the old time editors like Horace

Greeley and WilliamLloyd Garrison has now passed to the com-mentators, authorities on anything and everything, who are muchharder to "tag" politically. "Moulders of Opinion," a collection ofevaluative sketches first printed in "The Sign" and now broughttogether by a Catholic publishing house, Bruce of Milwaukee, wasintended to fill what is called a long felt need and the under-taking is in large part successful.

...REVIEW ...moulding public opinion

Inasmuch as eleven differentwriterscontributed, no cohesiveset of standards is applied tothe commentators on their pro-fession and the quality of thework as a whole varies consid-erably.

The application of standardsis brilliantly achieved in EdwinA. Lahey's appraisal of FultonLewis Jr., an essay which mightwell serve as a model for thefuture criticism of commenta-tors, a sort of patch on a patchof literature of which we standin need. Written with unusualstyle and grace, the Laheypiece gives both Lewis and hisopponents a day In court, a daywhich the opponents carry. Heoffers an accurate and specificlist of the Oracle's opinions,philosophies and prejudices andat the end the reader has a fairidea of the broadcaster's vary-ing accuracy on varying ques-tions .

In studying Lippman, Law-rence and Welles, men of scru-pulous integrity, the writers diginto the mental history of theirsubjects to explain the deeplythought and original points ofview from which the columnistsform their short statements.John C. O'Brien picks his waythrough the changing opinionsof Lippman and Lawrence withrare clarity.

Throughout the boob the con-servative columnists have all

To begin with, I too, wasonce enthusiastic about veter-an's benefits.Out in the PacificIdevoured daily the many sto-ries about bonuses, loans, freeschooling, pensions, and dis-charge pay that cluttered uppractically every newspaper.Ispent endless hours in my bonkdreaming of the joys of thepost-war world.

On last December 15, Iwalk-ed down the gangplank of thecarrier Hornet onto Pier 91 inSeattle, bound for discharge.Five days later Ifound myselfstanding before the disbursingwindow at the Bremertonsepar-ation center,waiting for my lastNavy pay.Itook off my hat, held itout,

and braced myself for the ava-lanche ofmoney thatIexpected.The disbursing officer droppedone check for $50 in my hat,stuffed $50 cash in my pocket,and said: "That's all you get,Bud, wemail the rest."I swallowed my disappoint-

ment, mailed the check home,and took off with the fiftybucks.

Six days later, December 26,to be exact, my $50 cash isgone, butIam in Seattle, deter-mined to abandon my Navyways, buy civilian clothes, reg-ister, and start life anew andrespectable.

Thenafter twenty-fivemonthsin the Pacific, Idecided it wastime Igave some attention tothis matter. So Ipulled out myold address book, picked out aname, and hopefully dialed hernumber. Her father answered!the phone.

"Is Soandso there?" Iasked.(Don't laugh, Joe, youmay evenknow her).

Jack Ryan"Why no," answered her fa-

ther, "she lives in Walla Wallanow."

A horrible suspicion wasdawning onme. "Isshe...mar-ried?"Iasked.

"Yes," he said, "she's beenmarried for a year and a half.Who is this?"

"This is Kilroy," Iansweredweakly, and hung up. Itore upthe address book.

Shock number three camewhen Iwent out to buy someclothes.Iwalked into the storewhere Iformerly did business,and communicatedmy needs toThe clerk.They didn'thave any.After considerable argument, hebrought out abrownsuit, whichhe said was the only one in thestore, and sold it to me for $50.

To this he added abrown coatfor J44, but he insisted he hadno shirts. After Ipracticallygot down on my knees andpleaded, he went back to thesafe, pulled out one white shirt,and offered it to me for thesmall considerationof $5. Thatwas all the clothes Icould get,so my Navy shoes and stockingshad to complete the outfit. Nat-urally, my $50 check didn't co-ver the bill but the proprietoragreed to take the rest of themoney when my checks startarriving. However, he took thefifty, and left me practicallybroke.

Now, there is nothing wrongwith the brown suit, but sinceit comprises my entire wardrobeIam getting slightly sick of it.Ihave to wearit to school, outnights, to church on Sunday,everywhere. In fact, if Ihadn'tdug up a pair of pre-war paja-mas, I'd have to sleep in it.

The Publicity Department is stM wonderingjust what good old St. Anthony has been doingwith their publicity file for the last month. Theyno. sooner asked him for it than it reappeared,so he must have had it all the time. The Pnb.Dept. withholds complaint provided the businesswas of a supernatural order, but hints that hemight have been a little more careful with thecedar box. Mundanely speaking, it was strictlybeaten down.

The post-war,pace: Overheard In an S.C. cor-ridor,—"How should Iknow whether he's mar-ried or not? Ihaven't seen him all day."

Undoubtedly there are those who will say wepicked an untimely moment to bring it up, which,between you and me, will make us feel great.Anyway, here's the howl. Is there any reasonother than precedence why, out of five majordances occurring between last Friday and theend of the year, four of them have to be of aformal variety? It not only goes hard on thewardrobe and the bankroll, but to have them sooften is to reduce the distinctiveness of each one.The Prom has to be formal, Homecoming oughtto be semi-formal. So that leaves the| tolo, does-n't it? Well, it's not too late to change. What'swrong with date dresses and sports suits, justfor a diversion?

And speaking of making advance arrangementson the dances, it's rumored that the transporta-tion problem kept a lot of people away from thesemi-formal last Friday night. We suspect thatexigency could be eliminated with a little prelim-inary inquiry. How about getting into the swimon a private little car pool of your own? Youknow, you meet a lot of interesting people thatway.

Not for many a moon nor turn of the presshave we seen the Spectator in such controversialform as was last week's issue. Maybe variety Isthe spice of life, and it's love that makes theworld go 'round, but brother, whata good heateddebate can do to a smart coiffure!

Having an inborn aversion for passivism whileall the world disputes, and not being particularlysatisfied with my current coiffure anyway, Imight as well get in on this, too. Speaking forthose of us who struggled through what maywell be termed the "lean years" at Seattle Col-lege, Iguess I'm qualified to resent certain in-ferences made in last week's Student Observer.We don't deny for a minute that activities havefallen below a pre-war level during recent years.But gad, my good man, there was a war on!With what we had to work with, we aren't toomodest to boast a little about the way we'veheld traditions intact. Who was it bridged thegap between the "school of yesterday" and this"school of the future" you speak of? It wasn'tthe army engineers, Mr. Moffatt; It was we, thelethargic students of Seattle Colelge. We don'tmind your exhortation to the student body to geton the ball. But gosh, Bill, give us a little credit.Spectator window, don't stop ma Imay just toe

When the postwar unemployment problem be-comes too pressing, we can think of one potentialjob around S. C. that has every earmark of per-manency about it. It would consist of keepingthe students postedhourly on the hour as to justwhere the library clock stands at the momentin its protest against International StandardTime. Or if we wanted to be perfectly trite aboutit, we could get somebody* to set the thing.

Just a word of warning to any among youwho might be sincerely interested in reformaround S. C. Don't make any suggestions theycan identify you with. All Isaid was, "Let's havea Spec party." Okay, so we're gonna have aSpec party. Three guesses who they stuck withthe job. If you ever see me walking out theSpctator window, don't stop me. Imay just befollowing a suggestion.

You know, there's something almost propheticin the placement of that sign in the Spec office,"Put all contributions in the news box." You re-member the one. It's posted at the top of thestairs, in the right hand corner of the office,—just over the waste paper 'basket.

Raymond Crump stated his position prettyclearly in Econ class the other day. "I'm a littlebehind the times," he remarked. "I was out ofthis world for quite a while." Chalk up anotherone for Sinatra, boys.

Sodality SparksDrive to FeedEuropean Jesuits

The Sodality of the B. V.M. atSeattle College this week openeda student drive to raise funds forthe benefit of war-torn Jesuit in-stitutions in Europe. Interest inthe drive increased yesterday withthe announcement by the Associ-ated Press of the report made bytheRev. BernardR. Hubbard,S.J.,for a national conference of rep-resentatives of American JesuitProvinces.

Upon completion of his surveyof war-ravished countries in theinterests of the Jesuit Order, Fa-ther Hubbard said that more than$12,000,000 would be heeded forrelief and rehabilitation of Jesuitchurches, colleges, schools, andother Institutions destroyed inEurope.

The drive at the College, whichwill continue throughout nextweek, will take the form of a tagsale. Proceeds will go toward thepurchase of food commoditieswhich will be packed and addres-sed by a student committee ap-pointed by General ChairmanMarcie Mooney. The committeewill be composed of KatherineNeidermeyer, Sarah Roberts, andLaura Ellis.

In initiating the drive at SC,the College joins forces withotherJesuit institutions throughout thenation in alleviating distressamong the impoverishedEuropeanOrders.

LifeBetween Chex(Continued from page 2).

My next act was to come upto the College and try to regis-ter. They told meIwould haveto go down to the Federalbuild-ing and make proper arrange-

ments.Iwent down there andfound long lines of vets in frontof every window that wereveryreminiscentof the chow lines onGuam. After a wait of abouttwo hours, Ifinally got to talkto one of the attendants, andhe gave me a slip admitting meto school—tout no'money.

I returned to the College,handed over my slip, and wasinformed thatIcould begin at-tending school immediately des-pite the fact that my tuitionmoney would probably not ar-rive for several months. In ad-dition, the treasurer informedme that Ihad the privilege ofcharging all my books, paper,pencils, andotherschool suppliesat the bookstore.

Now this charge accountseems to me to be the mostpromising thing in the wholeprogram. Isuggest, here andnow, thatthe bookstore installastove, icebox, and coke machine,and start another cavern doingbusiness with vets strictly oncredit. They could list a ham-burger on our billasanotebook,a coke as apencil, and a cup ofcoffee as typing paper. The billwould then go in to thegovern-ment, and everybody would behappy.If the school really wantsto be cooperative, they couldorder me a radio and put Itdown onmybillas a slide rule.

But to getback to my subject,nearly thirty days have passedsince my discharge from theNavy and Istill haven't seenanything of the money the gov-ernment was going to mall me.Nor amIalone in this matter.Ihave canvassed frequently thegroups of vets that daily clut-ter up the men's lounge swap-ping sea-tales, and Ihave yetto find one of them that hasreceived any money. As Iseethe GI Bill so far, you don'tget a cent, and you have tomaintain aCaverage todo it.

So Ifany of you Seattle Col-lege co-eds, faculty members, orcivilians In general have beenregarding the veteran as some-thing akin to a walking cashregister, let this serve as awarning. These are the facts,and you can take 'em or leave'em. As for me, Inave to rushhome and see If my check hasarrived yet.

SnoqualmieSet as SceneFor Ski Trip

TheSki Club will make its nexttrip on iS,unday, January 27, toSnoqualmie Pass. True Uncapher,president of the club, announcedthat because of limited space onlythose students who sign first willbe able to attend. Trucks willleave the College at 8:15 a.m.sharp.

GONZAGA SERIES?General feeling in the school

seems to foster a great deal ofinterest in the resumption of theGonzaga series begun last year.Chieftain fans are anxious to gainrevenge for the defeat sufferedlast year at the hands of theBulldogs. * " ♥

UNDEFEATED!Of the four major, undefeated

basketball teams in the countryit is to be noted that two of themare from Catholic schools, NotreDame and Holy Cross, with NotreDame being rated as the top teamin the U. S.

Seattle's Catholic schools aredoing all right for themselves too,with Prep and ODea having twoof the best teams in the city.Tacoma's Bellarmine is also tiedfor the lead in their city leagueby Tuesday's win overStadium.* * *

FOOTBALL.The pinnacle of athletic enter-

tainment for next fall was un-doubtedly disclosed this weekwhen it was announced that St.Mary's eleven will meet the Uni-versity of Washington in the open-ing game of the football season.

If the Chieftains can continueplaying the way they left off lastweek against EUlensburg, theymay give some fans heart failurebut they willgreatly enhance theirchances to finish on top of thepile. It looks, however, as thoughthe EWCE Savages are going tomake their debut in Seattleat theexpenseof the Chieftains.

Although they have vastly Im-provedin the last three weeks thefighting SO quintet can hardlyhope to do more than make Itclose. About Its only hope will beto attempt to slow down the race-horse type of game the Savagesplay, a style as spectacular as anyto be encountered in the North-west.It is of interest to note that in

general for any team that engagesCheney in a two game series, thefirst contest is comparativelyclose, while the second night theSavages run rough-shod over allopposition. This is apparently dueto the fact that the Savages havenot as yet met a team that couldoutrun, or evenkeepup with them.They just seem to race the opposi-tion ragged and then score asthey please.

Yes, if the Chieftains can comeup with one of the games in thisseries, they will not only be up-

isetting the apple cart, but theywill also establish themselves asa definite threat to end up in therunning for the Winco crown.

With all the fire and spiritshown thus far by the SC fans,the team has no worry in thatdepartment as they will undoubt-edly be supported by a capacitycrowd. " " "

Aegis subscription sales boomedthis week and will remain openfor a brief period, remarked JunePeterson, Aegis sales manager, onJanuary 24th. Year book pur-chases are available at the SeattleCollege Book Store, or from JunePeterson and Marge Lyons.

Hospital response of studentnurses was claimed enormous byAegis-pushers. One hundred fiftysubscriptions were netted. Al-though the goal has not yet beenreached, it is expected to be ful-filled within a few days, said stu-dent factions.

Stressing the importance of anAegis for every collegian, MissPeterson exclaimed, "The com-plete coverage of SC to promoteAegis sales will be made. S.aleswill remain open for a limitedtime only."

To the Editor:Why is it that committees for

Since there are others who arefully capable of doing as well,these frequent re-appointmentscannot benecessitatedbecause of alack of ability amongstudent bodymembers. So the reason may beinsufficient interest on> the partof these other students, or lack

Providence SodalityAdopts ClothingDrive as Project

The Sodality' of nursing stu-dents at Providence Hospital hasadopted as its project for thismonth a clothing drive for Euro-pean relief. Mary Jane Brown isin charge of the collection pro-gram which is scheduled to end onJanuary 28.

At the last meeting of the or-ganization, Mrs. iM. J. Squires, awell-known Negro orator, spoketo Sodalists concerning "The Min-ority Problems in America," asubject which has been discussedby members of the audience atformer meetings.

Senior students yesterday drewup final plans for the Mardi GrasMixer slated for March 5 in theMasonic Temple. Co-chairmen ofthe event, Nancy Swarva and Cor-delis Keppinger announced to theSpectator the complete idea ofthe evening .

Committee heads include BillFenton, publicity; Pat Sullivan,tickets; Roberta Fritsch, decora-tions; and Dick Jasper, clean-up.Hundreds of novelties will showerthe guests, promised the commit-tee charges.

Giving a preview of Mardi Grassurprises, Co-chairman Swarvasaid, "Traditions of festive NewOrleans at Mardi Gras time pre-vail at the Masonic Temple onMarch5. Masked dancers, swayingto the music of the Gentlemen of'Rhythm will recapture the spiritn* 'Hhrmip tills }p Cahtuih'."

tees and had an actual share inthe planning, Ibelieve that theywould take more of an interest Inthe school affairs.

FRED HOLT (chemistry junior)—Providence nurses already spon-sor one dance a year. Ibelievethat if more of these were heldit would give us a chance to be-come better acquainted. May Isuggest that those in charge con-sider a school-hospitaldance withco-chairmen, one from the schooland one from the hospital.

(B.H. G.s Note: There's plentyof "food for thought" containedIn the above suggestions. Are wegoing to let this matter exist asit has in the past,or shall we takeimmediate action? MayIsuggestthat those in charge iron out thematter at the next student bodymeeting.)

—If any action is

taken it will probably have tocome from the student nurses. Isuggest an open house given bythe nurses honoring the men oftheCollege .Inthat way they couldget acquainted in the same man-ner as the girls of Bordeaux andSarazin do .

BILL FENTON (pre-legal sen-ior) — A program of progressiveactivities sponsored by the stu-dent body with the real intent tofamiliarize and popularize,as wellas publicize our functions, so thatthose nurses who are interested tnCollege events may participate.We should arrange for a volun-tary silence from that small min-ority which has led our SC nursesto say that "the welcome matwasn'tout."
