COLLEGE CLUB ROOM DEDICATED AFTER LOYOLA GAME MARCH 4

ALL CLASSES PARTICIPATE IN UNIQUE PROGRAMME PRESIDENT DALRYMPLE GIVES MAIN ADDRESS

The formal dedication ot the new College Club Room in the new Gym4

naslum was an outstanding event in the social activities o! the year . Shortly a!ter the Loyola-Viator basketba>l.l game members ot the College Club, members o! the !acuity, the coach and t eam !rom Loyola University, ihe Senior D epart· 01ent o! the High School and many visitors assembled in the new Club room tor the dedication program. An e laborate program had been prepared and Mr. James Connor, secretary ot the College Club, acted in the capacity o! cha irman. After welcoming the visitors and paying a beauti!ul tribute to Mr. J ames Da lrymple, Mr. Connor introduced the speakers and entertain­ers from the tour college classes.

As a fitting intr oduction to the exer­cl.ses Mr. James Dalrymple, president ot the College Club, expressed his senti­m en ts on the occasion and declared that h e was sorry that he would b e unable to r ealize the true and lasting benefits ot the new Cl ub room because of his graduation in June. He forsees a greater organization. Increased satis­faction, and a great future for the Col­lege Club through the acqu irin g of this excellen t clu b room. The Senior Class enter tainment followed. It consisted of v ocal selections taken f rom fa m ous college and u niversi t y an thems sung by a quintet, the personnel of which in­cluded Mr. James Dalrymple, Mr. James Connor, Mr. John Ellis, Mr. Arthur Provancher an d Brother F. J. Har­bauer. The Junior entertainmen t was decidedly impromp tu. It s eems that carefu l preparation had been made for the event by the Juniors but at the last minute on e or two of the participants were s tricken with a severe attack or "cold feet". Mr. McClelland, however, r ose to the occasion and oUered a short but clever dialogue. He then called upon a few members of his class to assist him In a nother line o! entertain· m ent a n d, after assembling them be­! ore the audience, he wound up the Juntor presentation with an unexpected joke that s ent his contemporaries to their seats In quite noticeable contusion and emba rrasment.

We do not know just how to classif y the Sophomore entertainment, how­ever, we can truthfully say t hat it was one o! the four best entert.:'1.-inments offered by the College classes. Popular vocal selections m ade up the greater part of the pr ogram. We would like to list the selections but, since it was quite impossible to distinguish the songs we are unable to do so. The Freshman entertainment was quite different from a n y of the other presentations. Mr. Armand Lottinville proved himself to be a talented contortionist a nd suc­ceeded in t:ying himself in var ious species of square·knots, half-hitches, sheet-bends, fisherman's knots, and the like. Mr. Leonard Kelly augumented the Freshman en tertainment with som e popular jazz selections on the piano. He concluded h is entertalnment with ::t

syncopa ted interpretation of ' 'Th e Via­tor L oyalty Song". L imited time made it n ecessar y for t he Frosh to cut their program s hort. Ourt Reverend Presi­dent, Father Rice, followed w ith the concluding a ddress. Father Rice made no plea for a n improved College spirit but merely asked a continuation of the excellent condition of sociabllity and good !ellowship.

Refreshments consistin g ot Ice cream, cake, sandwiches and coffee, wer e ser ved immediately a fter Father Rice's address. The cake w as s upplied by Jimmy Dalry mple's father whose de­votion to St. Vidtor athle tics has been so manifest throug hout t h e year. A s a grand conclusion Father Rice an­nounced that the following day would be a "tree day" in commemoration of the victory over L oyola and of the dedi­cation of the Club room. W h en the crowd dispersed , the Freshmen, under the s upervision of a few upper-class­men, removed the chairs and tables, conducted a general "Clea n -Up" and a llowed themselves the pleasure or washing the g reat stack of dishes re­m a ining as a mute testimony ot the consumption of a huge cal{e, gallons of Ice c ream and coffee, and great stacks of sandwiches.

PATRICK J. CLEARY

Momenbe, Ill ., March 5th.-Patrick J . Cleary, •75-'76, father of Rev. Wm. Cleary ·o:i a nd R ev. Francis A . Cleary '13, died at his home in Momence after a brief illness. T he fun eral services were h eld from St . PatricJ.::'s church on Monday, March 7th. A Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. A. L . Girard '05, wi th Rev. Z . P. Berard

'85 as deacon a nd Rev, J .P. O'Mahoney, c. s . v. '01 as sub-deacon. Rev. G. T . Bergan, pastor of St. Mary ' s Cathedral, Peoria, acted as master of ceremonies. During- the Requiem Father William Cleary and Father F rancis Cleary cele · brated Mass a t the side altars. The funeral was one of the largest in point of attendance ever held in K an kakee county.

Two debating teams repres enting the most accomplished forensic talent in the college department, appeared in the Coliseum in Rockford, Illinois, to dis· cuss the relative merits and demer its of the proposed a mendment to the Con­stitution, g iving congress the power to enact a uniform m arriage and, divorce law. The debate was sponsored by the Catholic Women's L eague of the above ci t y who, t hrou g h the efforts of R ev. M. Hoar, a former Viator student, in· duced Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, coach of the team, to accompany h is debaters to Rockford for the purpose of discussing this question.

Through the kindness of Rev. Thomas Harrison, the team was able to make the trip in his powerful motor car on Tuesday afternoon. Immediately upon reaching Rockford, the t eams were insta lled at the SL J ames Rectory and m ade fee l perfeCtly at home u ntil the appointed hour w hen they were escort · ed by Father H oar to the E lks Club for dinner. A most delectable meal was served to the Viat or m en ,since complete arrangements bad been made for the

, occasion by the L eague members. A t eight o'clock, Mr. T hom as Gill,

a prominent Rockford lawyer intro­duced Father Maguire to t he audience w h o, after expla ining the rules of the debate, in turn introduced J . A llen of Rockford as the first speaker of the evening. As. :Mr. Nolan approached the cente r of the platf orm m any were reminded of some few years ago when Mr. Nolan h a d appeared on the same rostrum as a member of the St. Thomas H ig h School debat ing t eam. Needless to say, Mr. Nolan did not disappoint his listeners and he resumed his seat amidst hearty applause.

With Mr. Nolan on the af!irmativ~ side were Mr. John Ellis of Seneca, Ill inois. and Mr. J ames Connor. The negative platform was occupied by M r . Warren McClelland of B loomington, Mr. Maurice L eClaire and Mr. J ohn Staf­ford. A t no time during the d iscussion

~r~se~~:ti~~dJ~~~~l .}~~e ;;nt~~~~~der;b~: amount of clash, a n essen~ial e lement in a good debate since it k eeps the in-

t erest of the audience at a high pitch. Mr. L eClaire in his calm and deliberate manner presented a very substantial argument in defense of one o! th~ strongest of the negative argument s . A great amount of his argument was r efu ted more or less effectively by Mr. J ohn Ellis, who Sl)Oke with convincing firm n ess and · directness , a quali ty ·wh ich secured the close attentJon of his audience. Mr. McClelland, second speaker for the losers , was quite ef­fective in catching t he fancy of the listeners by his apt remarks concerning certain contentions which wer e urged by his opponents. J ohn Stafford con­cluded the discu ssion of the negative side with a r ebuttal which a ll aclaimed to be almost perfect display of for ensic a nalysis. His s u mmary of t he a!.tirma­tive position and his k een sense of the r e lative merit of arguments presented m a rk his as a man of natural debating abflity cou pled with a very pleas ing delivery.

After the completion of the rebu t al speech es, the two teams retired whil e a n open forum vote was taken to deter­mine which s ide, in the collective opin­ion of the audien ce, had the better of the argument. Before the r esu1t was announced the two teams returned to the stage while Rev. J . W . R . Maguire thanked the audience, and especially the members of the Catholic Woman's League for their kindness in lnvitlng the t eams to appear in Rockford. He assured them that he was pleased to a fford the team s as m any opportunities as possible to a ppear in p ublic debates before the opening of the official inter­collegiate debatin g season with North­western University of Evanston on A rll 12th in Kankakee. The s ubject of th is debate will be ''Resolved tha t the Eighteenth A m endment be Re­pealed.'' The v isitors will uphold the affirmative side of the proposed ques· tion.

Before departing f or h ome, the teams a nd their coach were Invited to t he home of Mr. J. Slink , wher e a hos t of friends and members of the Leagu e

IRELAND'S DAY

Tod ay is t h e 1 7th o f M a rch , the feast o f Ire la nd's b eloved Patrick. O n t his d ay in th e year 49 3 th e A p ostle of Erin w as t a k en

His ch ild ren , sp read o ut ov er the leng th a nd breadth of the n a ti o ns, turn their ey es h omeward a nd dream of th e littl e Isle set in th e turbulent w a ter s of the n o rthe rn Atlantic. W e, m ore r em o tely r em ov ed from 'th e true sp ir it o f Ireland, st a nd to·d ay out o f resp ect a nd love for her g lorio us sain t , in wonderment and a dmira tio n fo r h e r son s, feeling not a little o f tha t fi n e spirit tha t moves th e Irish h eart to ch e r ish the m em ory o f S t . Patrick .

W h a t h a s been th e h eritage of P a t r ick t o Ire la nd ? Did h e find it p agan, convert it t-;;- C hris tianity and th en leave i t t o quie tly w orsh ip its G o d a lo n e? I d o n o t believe his w o rk ended the re. He fir ed th e Irish soul with the enthusiasm fo r life , a life w hich m en enj oy -d esp it e all so rrow a nd a ffli c tio n , a nd like Simeon o f o ld h e c ried out t o· th e Gaelic r ace, · ·your h eart sh a ll b e pie rced w ith a sword , but you sh a ll em erge triumph a nt fro m y o ur g rief ...

S t. P atr ick b r ought th e first great princ ipl e o f this n ew life t o the Irish when h e came with the d eposit o f C a tholic t ruth from th e feet of Pope Celestine I. The h ighest and m ost ennobling thing in life w as placed in the possessio n o f a deser v ing p eople a nd th e secr e t o f C al­v a ry b ecam e th a t p eople's esprit de corp s. The Gael was not im­p ervio us to th e wo rth of his g ift, fo r fro m out ev ery com er of the isla nd came ch ampio n s o f P a trick 's cause. G lo ri ou s saints a r ose and filled the valleys of the Shannon with the ir sa n c tity . A h o ly wom a n a llied h erself beneath th e b a nner of St. Patr ick a nd the name o f St. Brig id takes secon d p lace to n o n e but P a t r ick himself in Irish esteem . The hills o f Ireland sti ll ech o the gen tle p ie ty of such m en as St. C olumbanus, S t . Colum p ill e, and S t. K evin a nd the illust ro us ex­ample of Brigid was ta ken up a nd continued by n o ble wom en the like o f S t. Ita, St. Franch ea, a nd o thers. A nd so th e seed pla n ted b y Patrick blossomed a nd fructi fi ed and Ire la nd sent fo rth numberless ·sain ts to prove to G o d and t o the w o rld tha t sh e h a d learned the ,first great doctrin e o f li fe,-fa it h a nd com m union wi th th e Div ine C r eato r.

In d e ed St. P a trick left to Irela nd its d eep a nd unsh a king fa ith, but h e a lso sti rred th a t race with a g reat thirs t fo r tru th . With the opening o f the C hristia n scho o ls fo llowing the a dvent o f P a trick, t h e re was b orn the dis tinc tly Irish love a nd quest fo r kno wled g e. Emboldened by the fearless example set by P a t rick th e Irish have fough t error and fa lse p hilosoph ies unceasin g ly. The ir s tatesmen h ave rocked th e B ri tish E m pire wi th th e ir eloq uence and p leas for justice. T h e d aring oratio ns o f a n O 'Con nell and a P a rn ell h ave m ade English m o na rchs si t in terro r a t their magnificent r easonin g and bold an d b iting truths.

The n ames o f her n ovelists a nd dramatis ts h ave d otted th e p ages of literatu re too secur ely for m e to a ttempt even th eir m entio n , and t oday, as in every age since C hris tia ni ty fou nd its way t o Erin , Irish though t is playing its importa nt role in th e l ead e rship of world o pinio n . The person a lity o f a man like George Russell is a t th e p resent time profound ly a ff ectin g th e best th ou gh t in th e lite rary, p olitical, and socia l w o rld .

H ow ever, the dig nity of re lig ion a nd t h e s omber m a ntl e of t ruth have not cloaked th e lightness o f the Ir ish h eart fo r the r e is no race o f m en w hich manifests a k een er d e light in the aesthe tic side o f life than the Irish . S t . P a trick, in his e ffort to b ring t h e u n d erst a nd­in g of G o d to th e minds o-f his Gaelic child ren, ins till ed in them a love .of th e b eauti ful th a t they h ave n ever fo rgotten . True, God h as singularly b lessed th em in making of their tiny la nd a gem o f b eauty set in the reflected majesty of th e b lue Atla n tic. It stands out like a rare emerald encrusted w ith its diamond lakes and enc ircled by its lofty moun tains that are rend ered a golden purp le w h en silh o u etted against th e sky of a dying sun. That beau ty rare as it is does n o t go unnoticed by the inhabitan t of the Irish countryside. T h e peasant, Ireland's gtory and pride, th ri lls w ith t h e beauty of a sunrise over th e lakes of Killarney, and the litt le t h atched c ottages settled a long the hillside, whi te in_ t h e morning light, offset by their resplend e nt rose gardens an'd small wooden fen ces a re indeed th'e delight o f hi s h ear t.

T h e expr ession of his thoughts can be found in the lines of any of Irelan d's coun tless poets; Russell, Moore, Mangan, McManus a ll attest t h e deep love th e Irish peasant feels for th e thin gs of beauty.

The Nicaraguan Situation

One Point of View By L. L. DROLET '29

It is with increasing anxiety that the nations of the world look upon Amerl· can in tervention in the domestic aUairs ot t he Republic o! Nicaragua. Europe tears the imperalistlc attitude of the United States. A r ecent issue of a conservative Paris newspaper 1s quoted ae saying:

':T he star-spangled banner is fast becoming the symbo l of a no.tlon of prey for t he descendants of Bolivar. America 1s assuming the position of Germany before the war."

And a gain, !rom a London conservative: "The struggle between Pres ident

Dtaz and Dr. Sacasa- is the struggle - perhaps the final one­or Nicaragua ttsel! to r esist com­plete absorption into the imperalls­tlc system of the United States."

And yet again, a more surprising editorial from the Italian Journal (Rome. )

" The Unit ed States today is one o! the leading imperalistic powers of t he world, cultivating an un­swerving imperia l policy supported by dollars and commerce, but when n ecessary by cannon and armed in· terventton."

To clarity the situation, and t or proper presentation , I propose to review the motives which brought about our entry into Central America, i.o dwell briefly u pon its people and its present system ot government, and !rom our a ttitude to j usti!y the preseht stand taken by our statesmen in sending armed forces int o Nicaraguan territory. I r epudiate the statements given above by France , England and I taly, that we, as a nation, set aside tra ditions, ideals, rig hts and justice when the interests of the state demarld tt, or that o u r government recognizes but one law, that of. t.orce.

In 1898 the Unit ed States declar ed war on Spain t.or the liberation of Cuba t.rom wha t we r egarded as S panish misrule. W hether we were jUBtified or not is a debatable question. The 1m· mediate motive ot. our people was a humanitaria n one , namely, the libera­tion and elevation of a forlorn, mts · t r eat ed race, suffering t.rom oppression in ' an island wb1ch lay very near ou r shores. This was the beginning of. ou r close r elationship w ith the nations ot. t he caribbean Sea. We, at the time ot the Spanish-American war , had cherish· ed a n idea of. constructing a canal some­where in Central Am erica, which would link t he two mighty bodies ot water, t he Atlantic and the P acific, and which incidentally would be a waterway be· t ween the Orient and the Occident . We decided upon t he Isthmus ot Panama, w hich, i t will be r em embered, connects North America to South America. From the Panama government we leased a zone in perpetuity. While these nego­tiations w er e in the making , we had also designs on Nicaragua t.or the same purpose. However, when P anama as· sented, we aba ndoned any desire ol acquisition of. Nicaraguan t e rr ritory. Eut'ope, as usual, was sleeping with one e'ye o\>en . She saw the u setullness ot Ni agua and was anxiou s to ac· qutr" ·. At the same time {1912), due

l~· i tO." :'! 1 r evolutions, the American

g~v ~ nt sent men into that country to ~pr ~i the interests ot. her citizens. Now .;.'t J question the rights ot. our

-crttzenry to possess property tn a country other tha n their own is, ot. course, :t.oolhardy . As the population ot. t he United States grows and manu· t.acturlng increases , !orelgn outlets mus t and will be had. Parts ot. the world a re a lready confronted by the :tear ot. starvation. In Cent ral America there are vast tracts o! la nd, rich ln untouched uncul tivated metals and agriculture , w hich must be utilized. We are not the only peoples who have inte· rests in these countries. So our motive was two-t old: fi rst, to hinder E u ropean powers t.rom buildlng a ca nal which would be a. potential menace to o u r control ot. Panama t.or 1t would com· pete with tha t waterway; and secondly, to quie t the consistent a nd sporadic r evolutions which w ere threatening the Uvea ot our citizen s / and jeopardize American property and in t erests. Bot h m otives as I shall vr<¥-rer are justit.iable. To sa!eguard a citlzen f~s t he prima l duty o:t. every g overnment. Correla tive with this duty o! protection at home , is the r eaponslbllity ot. e.."ttendtng its patronage abroad wherever the native may be. Great Brltan has a lways up­held this ns one o! hor t.Lrs t duties. She bas gone in to the darkest depths ot. the A!rlcnn jungles t o sa!eguard her subjects, she bas climbed to t he topmost peak ot. the IDmoJayas t o r escue a nd defend them. Wherever they g o th~Y tlnd their safety symboUzed in t he Union Jack . It is a m a tter ot inter ­national justice. In the second in· s tance, that o:t. controlling the en viou s blt o! terrrltory, w e CJnd YlndJca tion tn t he Monroe D octrine. which declares that no ! orelgn government shall establish itselt upon thJs hemisphere, and n.lthoug h not ox pllclUy s ta t ed , w e have the warning to the t o r eign powers that they must uot under take t he con­ques!s ot countries o n t his side ot t he ocean. The construction of. a canal ln

a t present, r emain in these countries in order t o r etain the civilized adminis­trations which wlll protect the citizens ot. other countries, so that they m ay not have cause to do so themselves. In a moral sense we could not sit by while the various governments of. Nicaragua r epudiated their debts, cont.isticat ed the property o! foreign er s, robbed their own people, and p lunged into arbttary and IJlegal practices. We could not request Europe to keep out, a nd yet re.t.use to be policemen ourselves. It is not only hypocritical, it is damnably u nfair! Our entry, ther efore, into this r epublic was a pe.r:Cectly justifiable one.

~ roreov~.;r , our ca p italists have in­vest ed great sums of money in that small r epublic for they know how t o utU1ze !ts r esources, while the nath·~~ do not. The inhabitants cannot lock up the resources of the world, merely bcc?~use they are ignorant o! , or · Jn­difterent to their value. It. iett a lone, these people will be the same a centu ry hence. Nicaragua is a country of natu­ral advantages; it is one which occupic~ an important posi tion in the cent ral zone ot. America; it is an island larger than North Carolina with a population stretching upwards to six hundred and thirty thousands. Two lakes which al· most reach acr oss the island , provide an almost ready made sea-level canal; its coasts a nd harbors have str a tegic importance; it is one ot the cross-roads ot. the New World. Mile a fte r mile ls covered with beautiful virgin forests, the calm sea surrounding it gazes in ha ppy complacency at the purple jagged mountain tops which add ao greatly to the beauty of the country. The red-sunset colors its lakes into glowing mirrors reflecting the shadows ot its n earby forests . Its government is patterned a t.ter the old Spanish vice­r egal regim es, ruled by a contentious group ot. hot-headed families who are a lternate in power and in exile ; who have not forgotten the aristocratic teachings ot. their fathers; who are al­ways waiting with the eagle eye to grab the lion's share of the s poils. Be­cause the common·folk lack govern· mental initattve a nd social aggressive· ness revolutions occur daily. In the last halt.-centu:ty one political party catered t o American interests, while the other t o sentiments of nationalism, racialism and anti-clericalism. The people are tempermental , as most southern types are, and change politi­cal views with each new overthrow o! government. Thus they have no estab­lis hed sys t em of administration. In order to secure the protection of. foreign subjects, it is absolutely essential that the United States, until such time as Nicaragua can p lace herself. on a strong and stable basis, should intervene with armed forces. Our poHcy is to keep as t ree as possible t.rom t he intrigues, am· bltions, hatreds and wars ot the old world. Should A.nlerlca be la..x in the protection ot. the ' rights of a ll citizens and sojourD:ers, it cannot hope to up­hold thij'poticY. Knowing tha t it is a governii!,.ent ot. power· and in t.luence, :t has beetr very remiss in this respect , :tor it has :t.e lt that it would be tyranny to press a weaker nation.

The present situa tion has arisen over recent revolutions in the r epublic. President Diaz was e lected by the Assembly. Back in 19 24 Solanzano de· feated Chamoro by a two to one vote. By a coup d'etat the !ollowlng year, Chamor o and Diaz wrestled the chair !rom Solonzano and Sacasa. Chamoro was elected by the ex J)Ulsion of the mem­bers o! t he opposi tion t.rom the assem­bly. However, he was forced to r e­sign in !aver o:t. his v ice-president , Diaz, w ho was una nimous ly e lected by the same assembly. Sacasa, former vice­president, claims the leadership ot. the Liberal party, and as s uch, asserts tha t he is the cons titutiona l president of. the r epublic. As I have before mentioned, such attairs are o! a lmost daily occur­rence in these sma ll r epublics. Out ot the labyrinth ot. political etrl!e, D iaz was recognized by our government a s the rightt.ul claima nt to the o!!ice. H e has assured the United States ot. his assistance in the prot ection o! our interests which a re multitudinous. Sacasa's government has been acknow­ledged by Mexico a nd others. As our citlzens have more than t our billions ot. dollars invested In Latin America, we na t u rally mus t look to our own concerns and place our in!luence be· hind a man who will a id us in placing this money on a somewhat t.irm basis.

It is easy :Cor Europe, living in a. g lass bouse, to sneer lngly r eproach our nation t or worshipping t he dollar, and to denou nce our presen t attitude to­wards t hese small nations. Especia lly a t this time when Amer ica r etuses to cancel her war·debts, and E urope de· s ires to pain t her actions in t he darkest possible color s. T he late war bas s hown o ur mnnhood to be in!in ltely higher, greater and nobler than the dollar. Perhaps it is only natur al for Europeans t o do this. But ln so doing they neglect to review their own his­tory or to think ot t he measures they

The Valor of Ignorance

The Nicaraguan Situation

Another Point of View By CHARLES CONWAY By ]. ALLEN NOLAN '29

Great empires ri se and t a ll in the vivid imaginations o! the world's " dream children" . The impetus o:t. t.ar reaching movem ents is otten to be Cound, not in the mind o! the genius, but rather in the soul ot him, whom the great humanity considers lacking in the finer training ot thoug ht a nd ex· perience. Ma ny ot our pioneer inven­tions have been built in t he da.y-dren.ms ot a ba re t oot youth trudg ing along behind the plow , one who has never enjoyed or known t he !rugal training ot. the little red school house. The lack ot. such knowledge t o him, who has never known its advantages, means nothing. He lives s urrounded by nature's truths, and da lly doing those t h ings which he is set to do , he un· consciously makes t.or hlmselt the motto, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

T he lack ot academic knowledge has a rather soothing effect u pon the aspi· r ations o! men. All untried et.forts, to t he inexperienced man, seem capable of being a ccomplished. Sometimes even those things, which accomplishment would violate well known physical and chemical laws, tempt the lmagination::J and ambitions ot. the uninitiated crowd. We have ample evidence o:C this in the nUmerous attempts which have been m a de in the tield at perpetual motion. With clock-like regularity, we r ead ac· counts of some individual claiming the perfection ot. a m echanism which, atter being f>et in motion, will so continue even t hough m uch outs ide inf luence be brough t to bear upon lt. Within my own experience, I can r ecall a young !armer coming into my !ather's ot.! ice, seeking to obtain a patent on a thresh­Ing machine. The device seemed plausable t o h im, and even though he dld not possess a working model, still he believed in it . Even when the patent o!!lce intormed him of. its w orthlessness, say ing in the blbical phrase, " Faith w ithout good works Ia dead," his cou rage was not da unted. Some day that same you t h will t.ind the !ultillment of. ano t her dream, a nd the world w ill w elcome him a genius.

We are, I think, altogether too pront~ to look askance upon him, who dreams and tails to r ealize h is dream. I t.irmly believe with Browning that , " It is n ot in pert.ectlon that a thing's beau ty exists, but in the constant struggle t o­ward that per fection; that it is in t ail· u r e that the soul is polished unto brilliance."

When we leave the "dream child-

After one wa des through numberleRs ar ti cles in almost as numberless maga· zines and newspapers, the entire Cen· tral American situation is only a con· tus,ed jumble :t.rom ~·hi<::h w e can tal'e three, :tour or five mc1dents, compose the extremely contradictory r eports ot the press concerning them and ta ke the account we choose. Every writer in· sists that his story is true, the only true one--but we know our press only too well. VVe are aware o! t he gross exagerations which it is prone to mak~, sometimes t.or emphasis, generally !or sensation, and occasionally at the insti · gation ot various individuals or !ac· tions. We grow t o know which publi· cations are the more inclined towa rd the unbiased truth a nd we depend more upon them t or accounts oC international r elations. From the R eview of R-e· views, th e L ite rary Djgest, t he P a n ­American J ourna-l and several others I have glea ned this intormation con· cerning Nicaragua.

To sum up the situation it is not a distu rbance that had its origin but yes· terday; it dates ba ck a t leas t to Octo­ber, 1925 when Cha moro's mutinous soldiers, who were adherents of. the Conser vatl ve Party, became mas ters ot. the moment. President Solorzano, In order to quell them , assigned several posts in the cabinet t o members o! the Conservatists. An agreement was signed and it seem ed tor a time tha t th~ trouble was a t an end a nd that peace was at hand tor t he belligerent Nicara­g uans. But, it was not to be so, for , ln violation of. an explicit provision which dem ands tha t the Committee on Orga nizations be presided over by the o!t ice r ot the previous sittings, Chamo­ros and h is officials met. '£hey did not notify the Liberals, on the contrary, they k ept them away by aid of. military !orce and thus succeeded in their p u r ­pose ot con trolling the organization of t he House and also changing its pa rty make-u p. They declared vacant seven seats t o which prominent Liberals bad been elected and a ppo in ted seven !riends of the Cons'ervatists on the commit tee t o fill t hese places .

Several of the writer s who p r esent to us the "true fa c ts concerning the condltion o! at!a irs in Central America" claim that the Mexican governm ent has ot!icially gl ven a ssistance to the Liberals. We substitute this claim with the r eports ot a rms and a mmuni­tion delivered by a Mexican ship under the command ot. a Mexican o!t1cer . They grasp this as a dying man does a straw. But then we, on the r ather thin pretex oC the "protection ot Ameri­can and :Corelgn lives and property,' ' have sent U. S. Marines who landed at Puerto Cabezas on December 23. These Marines have s u'pervlsed the disarma­ment in n eutral zones. The investors whom they a re protecting put their dollars· above the lives ot young Americans. B ecause the United States is forced by the Monroe Doc trine to maintain a r easonable amoun t o! order throughout the whole Car ibbean and Central American terri t ory is no rea· son why this duty shou ld be distort ed Into u:oholding with marines and war­s h ips t he pa rticu lar government that suits Wall s tree t.

Pint Pots and Horace By BERNARD G. MULVANEN ' 30

The facetious r emark ot Augustus that Horace s hould have written hie poems on a pint ty:> t r c.p1·esents the com­mon opinion ot. the a n cletn poet. This view ts extreme and cannot be substan­tiated, w hil e a. caz·e!ul , c rltc lal Dl':ldy of his works g ives a picture ot' Horace quite different !rom the usual portrait drawn by sel!-appointed c ritlce. They dct~crtbe h im as u. stout vi n ou s gou r-­mand lazily r ecllnlns In the cool shade of a bay or laurel tree. T o give addi· Uonal col or to the picture, some would have him conlinuaJJ y strumming f a tu­ous love ditties on a shell, while a hos t of slaves a r e a t hand to satisfy his every desire. Les t s uch a n existence become monotonous, H orace Is further s upposed to have left h is peaceful h ome in the Sabln es a nd frequently to h ave gone on to t he ne lg hbo1·i n g city of Rome. As a result of mlsrepresen ling him in this m a nne r t he popula r im­pression of Hor·ace is not on ly unfavor· able but entirely unt1·ue as can be ~:~ hpwn.

In t he firs t l)lace , the poet, Horace,

as much as can be known of him, was anything but a loose li ving m a n. From hJs boyhood days until nature brok e the mould whlc h con tai ned his majestic m·t, Horace Jived ln · a n atmosphere of sim­plicity a nd t oil. Altho ugh his fAther's trade Is n o t definitely known, from r ef­e re n ces to h im by Horace, it has been conjectured tha t he was a n ordinary deale r In salted goods , probably a fish m onge r . lt is known, h owever, tha t his fa the r so anxiously g ua r ded the character of his son iila t even during his schooldays at Rom e, Horace m ay be said to have bee n trained as much by his fathe r as b y his teacher, for his lessons w e r e not of book learning , but of life . Probably, h ow e ve r , in refe r­ence to this period, H oi-ace was no t a l­ways the innocent p a rty whe n he called his teacher "plagosus" (fond of the rod), !or the s ugges ted m eans might have been the only e ffec tive way ot cut·bing hi s impe tuous boyis h inclina tion s . \¥he n he h a d finished his tra ining at R ome, he went to Athens whe re, a fter s tudy­ing philosoph y for a s hort time, b e joined in the campaign of Bru tus . As the r esult of the ba ttle of Philippi, ho w­ever, s uc h intole ra ble h ardst•IPS a 11 disgrace w e t·e h eaped upon him that he had to a bandon the a rmy life . Upon retUrning to Rome, his fa ther's prop­erty being proscribed, Ho-race h ad to go to work and, alth oug h dangerously threate n ed by p overty, he la t e r refused the position of priva te secretary to the emperor because he ! eared the \Vealth and worries of such an office. Thus ever y part of the entire car eer of Hor­ace r equired of him such courageous self denial that h e even fled the oppor­tunity of h aving w h a t m en m ost a r ­dently seek ; w ealth a nd ease. More­over t his t•efusal gives an insight of the bent o! min d from which the pleasing themes of his poetry sprung. It is no wopder , the n, tha t h e who earnestl y studies the odes of Horace easily dis­coyers therein n ot onl y delightful truths but the living r eality of an up rig ht character whose good conduc t lived out these truths .

Although· it would f ollow that since Horace was not loose living, he must have been prudent in his eating a nd drinking, n everth eleSS so many charges have been m ade against his so­briety that consideration on this point is necessar y. In spite of t he undenia ble fact tha t Horace had ·very delicate health some would picture him as a fa t, jolly, old wine-bibbe r . Be fo re chang ing his r esidence, !or his u ns ta ble hea lth obliged him to seek favorable climates, h e _ inquired only about the bread and water of a proposed place. · S uch lack of vinous solicitations certaJnly argues strongly for Horace's m oderat ion in the use of wines. Mor eover in one of his odes, a fter denouncing those who indulge too freely in liquors, he !ra nkly declares h is own t e mperan ce. No won · der that he detested a nd a vo ided the Roman banquets wher e excessive drink­ing was indulged in . W ith E. C. Wick· haTn it may truthfull y !)e said of Hor­ace, "In s pite of the baccha na lia n tone of a few of his odes, It is c lear that h e w~ t empe ra te in the use of wine." To jus tify hls modera tion Horace himself says (Odes, 3, 1), "Falerlan wines can · not heal a mind diseased." Neverthe · less, it may be objected t h a t H orace in sever a l places plain ly expresses a fancy ror s umt>t uous feaats a n d wines. B ut mos t of these pa s sages occur at the beginning or the ending o! the m ore serious odes wher e, by way of a po lo­gizing for treating with a dignified theme , he makes Ironical or obvious ly fa lse rent:lrkQ a.a to t he scope or his ta le nts by limiting the m to concerns of wine or love. The questionable lines are mere ly unwol'thy cloaks for· the nob le Ideas they e ns h r oud.

The same or s imila r· lines that w e re mlslnte rprete d to m a ke out Horace a jolly wine sl ppe r a r e employed to g ive him a nother imagina r y bl emish. This s upposed blotch Is that he >vas a tick le love poe t who wrote only Insipid sen­s ual lyrics. A littl e inspec tion of his poetry, h owever , does away wi th this charge. In those ra1·e lines touching on love the re Is nothing of the v io lent passion whic h c haractCrlzes the poetry of Catullua or any of the other Latin poets. So Impersonal a r e these pas­sages that they often threaten to break Into the r ealm of objecti ve poetry.

1 Ap­

pearing a.s they do In the bcglnni ryr of an ode , these lines form the s tartipg point of the poem and are n.t most

fee ble foundations fo r the n oble thought they introduce. Moreover , in view of the !act that Horace w r ote t he q u es­tioned Jines be t ween the ages of th irty­five and forty-two, whe n the r omance of life is well -nig h extin guished , It can ha rdly be said that h e was a s ill y love poet.

R efuted in the ir conte nti on tha t Hor­ace was a fickle love poet or a wine· blbbe r, captiou s c ritics in h opes of sub­stantiati n g thei r views ~ have s natched f r om one o! his odes a ph rase w h ich t h ey e m ploy to brand Homce as un­manly. T h e expression "my poor shie ld Inglorious ly le ft be hind m e" taken from the poet's descrip tion of hi s pa rt in thi battle o! Philippi forms the basis of t hi s c harge. If mlsin terpreted these words would easily nullify any at tempt to laud the manly cha racte r of H orace. Anyone fami lia r with the J)Oet's works, however, kn ows tha t this phrase must not be take n with prosaic lite ralness. In it H orace ironically Implies a refer­ence to the words of the poe t Alcaeus , "I p layed the poet's part-you know what that has a lwa ys been. " Horace d JJ not pre tend to be a sold ie r, b u t a poet, and thus in the expression says what he faln would h ave don e durin g the battle. But since in this ode, Hor­ace is w elcoming back a f orm e r com­rade of the field, it is obvious that either to belittle h is own military a bil­ity or to j oke over the ir arm y expe r­ie n ces , the poe t playfuiiy Imputes him· self to be a cow ard. By doing this Hor· ace amplifies a nd h onors the deeds of h is friend a nd thus Indirec tly, fo r s u ch the critical s tudents of the odes claim, P flYS loyal tribute to the lost cause o! his former leader, Brutus; fo r by com­plimenting the soldier one honors the C{luse for which h e fi g hts. Moreover, ahotber passage at the end of his epis ­tles makes it evident tha t h e was n o t cowardly in the battle. Here he de· clares that a ll during his lifetime, on the field as well as at h om e, h e found fa vor in the eyes of the first men of Rome. The life of H orace offers such perfect demonstraions of i ndependence sacrifice a n d courageou s ad venture t hat he mus t have been honored for his manly c haracter as muc h as fo r his achievem ents. The oft-quoted Jines , "relicta n on be n e pa rmula'' (Odes-2,7) , ~nnot be u sed, the n, to offe r objection t q the uprig ht and m anly q ua lities of H orace.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY, 1927

ABADABAS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP

Senior L eagu e h onors ! or 1927 were captured by Pfe lier's Abadabas last Tues­day n ight whe n that team defeated May's Soaks in a post-schedule game. The contest to de termine the victor was staged as a pre liminary to t he Via tor-Kankakee A. C. gam e. The same inte nse inte r est that bas been m anifest In tll e pre vious encounter be· tween the Abadabas and the Soaks was evident at the Armory when the two teams took t he floor. The small num­ber o! points accumula t ed b y each side indicates that close g uarding was ex­erted by both t eam s and tha t the t eams were very evenly matc hed. There was more than the g·J<Jry or victory at s ta ke in this gam e fo r R ev. T. C. Har· rison, D ean of Discipline, had promised minia ture gold bask e tba lls to every member of the winning t eam.

The game o pe n ed with h a rd playing a nd close guarding on both sides. Neither t eam was overconfident and ex· trem e care and precision marked every move. Pfeffer's Abadabas, s purr ed on possibly by the sting o! former de­feat , !oug h t h a rd a nd soon took the lead and carried it to the final whistle. The first per iod ended with Pfeffer's leading with a score of 4 to 1.

After the inte rmission May's t eam succeeded in piling up three more poin ts but they w er e unable to s top the flash y Pfef!er-Steck-Da ley combi nation. T he Abadabas doubled their score and t}le game ended with a final score of 8 to4 .

HALF TIME AT

Second on ly to t h e winning of the Western Inters ta t e Championship was the g reat victory over Loyola Univer­sity het·e o n March '.lth. The final out­come, 28 to 23, was indeed sweet r e­venge for the one point setback s uffered up a t Chicago when Bremmer tossed in a basket a nd was awat·ded two free t hrows on the play, one of w hich was the m argin by which Loyola. won.

There have been s ensational basl<et­ball games staged in a nd abo u t the College, bu t none will live longer in the m emories of those who witnessed it than t he LoyOla-Viator c lash of 19 27. At the half the visitors led 13 to 7. They had an alm ost airtigh t def ense, a nd s upp lemented this with a n exhibi · tion of the smartest basketball seen here this year. Len Sachs certainly justified the high tribute tha t has been paid to h im both as a player a nd coach His team h a d a ll the trickery and j e: ception of a professional club. And it fell to the lot of Evard, the Fort Wayne Phantom to stage a comeback in t he seeond h a l! with fo ur field goals and three foul shots after going scor e less in the previous c hapter. B ut the h onor s of the evening are evenly distributed throughou t the team; it was a herculean task to overt h row s uch a g reat club as Loyola, and Viator was equal to it. Del_aney and Benda sneaked down the court for easy shots an d thereby threw the Jesuit machine completely o ut or gear. They h a d overlooked the scoring power of the guards a nd con centrated their defense against O'Malley, Evard and Dalrymple. The surprise attacl>: opened the way tor Evard, who took some lightning passes from Benda and Delaney when these la ds intercepted the Loyola pass-work in midfloor.

Upper row, left to righ t : Herbert Hinton, William Barrett, Coach; William Cassidy, Manager; Willi am Armstrong.

Youth was served again in the recent I<ankakee-Viator game, w hen !our ex· Varsity p layers, tJupplemented by one or two other atars, carne out on the s hort end of a 33 to 28 basketball game. Never has Viat or been more sensational, n ot even in the great Loyvla game, nor the hlstorfcal encou n t er w ith Bradley, al­though as games they were superior. Dalrymple was expected to do great t hings , a nd like the true VJatorian that he has always been, his last g reat game t or Viator on the hard· woods was a fitting climax to a brill iant career. But young Evard, though only a freshman, is the bright spot of the thesis. Dixon, a profes· sional of considerable fame, was left standing still w hile the flashy Evard whizzed around him to make three com· parattvely easy goals. The great Milli· kin, formely of Millikin University, and the equally great Clarno, once sporting the color s o! Bradley, were eclipsed by the Viator team. Both D elaney and Benda had a crack at Rex Milli kin, and the King of Long Shots, was tumbled almost completely from his throne. At leas t he was tottering, being forced to make three sensational one-handed s hots, and showing a complete reversal of form in his long tosses. Benda all but broke Wint e rhal t er 's h eart; h e dog­ged him at ever y step, outs printed him, a nd matched his single field goal.

Center row: Edward Mathews, Clifford Van Warmer, Martin Slintz, Charles Anderhub. Bottom row: Robert Singler, James McHugh, John Daly, Captain; Edward Walkowiak. Thomas

In the opening chukl{e r, L a wless was tremendously effective, getting three baskets and two free throws, while McGrath and Bremmer h elped out with one apiece. Mean'wh ile Dalrymple raised the hopes of the overflowing crow d with two beautiful arches from most difficult a n g les and Benda dribb­led through and a round the closely knit Loyola defense to sin k the on ly other counter for V iator.

As the fin a l quarter opened, pleas from the St. Viator section begging for that impossible something that would win the game sprang f orth from every lip. St. Mary's got the ball on the jump a nd began to play safe. For a. time, both teams seemed to have lost a ll pep. Ma thews broke the ice with a free throw and Dal y f ollowed soon a fte r with a long shot. Middleton made a free throw and, with but tour minutes to go, St. Viator needed three bask e ts .

Dalrymple's thirteen points was in· deed necessary to stave off the sensa­tional rush of the losers. At the hal! V iator led 28 to ·4, due to nothing short of s uperb teamwork. ·

O'Malley continually got the tip off, and Dalrymple was a leaping madman in the scramble to take the tap, out· distancing the great J ohn Wintehalter in the effort. W ith a comfortable mar~ gin, Viator elet:ted t o play the second half safe, and it required all the ingen­uity a nd craft of the I nterstate Champ­ions to withstand the mad rush that un­expectedly developed. Kankakee was lite r a lly run into the floor, and com­pletely outplayed in every department of the game. Brick YOung and Merri­m an w itnessed the g ame, and i! there was a ny doubt a bout the merit ot the Vlatorians in the forthcoming Little Nineteen team, it was certainly dis· p elled last evenin g. We should get on e m an on the first squad, and perhaps two on the second team, with little t o choose. Anderson, who has held the center job for the past two years was hard pressed by O'Malley for the chief Conference honors, and it was his g reat work in bring ing the championship to Wesleyan that will win him t h e job agaJn this year. But next year, Viator w ill p lay ! or Conference center. ST. VIATOR (33) KAKAKEE (2 8)
