THE COLLEGIAN · THE STUDEI"T WEEKLY OF ST. JOHN'S COLLF..GE ·

Mr. Sean Ball, Editor The Collegian

Dear Sean:

Mrs. Weigle and I would like to take this opportunity to say how much we enjoyed having the College on our front lawn on the occasion of the Senior prank. The whole affair was handled beautlfully by the members of the class who arranged it, and we should like to express our special appreciation to them. All of the students left our front lawn looking just as beautiful as when they invaded it earlier in the day. We would be more than happy to sponsor a return engagement next spring if the present Juniors decide that they want to emulate this year's Seniors.

'1A ()(:i\\E GODO.

THANK YOU

I would like to take this opportunity to speak for 'the college community and thank the Class of 1979 for a superb Prank. Speaking for myself, I found the whole experience delightful and everyom: I talked to seemed to be very pleased as well. Earlier in the day, I recei•r<?d -:: c~.:di tional enablement letter fraught ·.vio.1:1 provisos. The winning or first 1-'rize was a great uplift for m~-I have not won anything since a choco­late angel-food cake in the first grade. So, thanks to the sen:i.ors, 1979 will al­ways be remembered--by me at 1east--as a very good year. Thanks again.

IF YOU'VE BEEN WONDERING •••

''Reason bears a three-fold office toward revealed truth, and within that province is indeed, supreme, but only three: l) It is the province of Reason to state in terms that the understQding can ap­prehend what the tru:ths are which Reve­lation has declared.

-2) rt is the province of Reason to state as clearly what revealed truth is E£l; for, .while the Revelation of God is above and beyond Reason, it can never be con­trary to it. 3) It is the province of Reason to in­vestigate and test, by every ~rocess which the mind of man can conceive, the

.testimony which is borne to the truth of Revelation. The more it tests this t·estimony, whether it be by scientific research, or archaeological investiga­tion, or the study of the mind of man, the more will that testimony stand forth sure and unshaken, the foundation of God 1

the same yesterday, today, and forever! •••••• There is a great deal of unreality in some of the doubt of the time. There are people calling themselves skeptical, who only differ from Christians in having taken for their authoritative teacher some newspaper or review, some man of science, or modern philosopher, or popular preacher, instead of the grand old creeds, and the truths for which martyrs have died, and the unsha­ken faith of the Catholic Church, They are as much submitt;i.D.g to authority as the little child, only to authority not as reliable."

(From James DeKoven's sermon ''fllen of Understanding", 1874)

For four years people have been tell­ing me that "science" has made faith im­possible or obsolete. I offer to them this man, who like Luther "delights in assertions". Only shallow_theologians have anything to fear from shallow "science". The deep theologians and sci­entists know this to be true, and regard each other with mutual respect. This, it seems to me, is an attitude that would be t1Pical of the Program.

SPORI'S by Bryce Jacobsen

Well, it's all over now. The Druids, a teaa with a rather undistinguished record in the last 7 or 8 years, fi­nally got their act together. They won the yearly title, beating out tpe Spartans by 151 to 135. After foot­ball and soccer they were dead last ••• but things picked up considerably in the.winter, when they almost won bas­ketball. and did win volleyball. Still, the Spartans started the Spriiig with a solid lead.

But the Druids (after dr-0pping out of the marathon!) came on to win the track meet, and the fitness test, and softball. This was more than enough to take the title.

So Mr. Kolman and Company go out on a winning note ••• after some frustra­ting years. Nice going, chaps.

Softball Druids-6, Spartans-3 Until this game, the Spartans still had a mathematical chance. But not thereafter.

Spartans-14, Hustlers-3

Drmids-17, Waves-9 Until this game, the waves still had a chance for the softball title. But not now.

Hustlers-19, Spartans-10

Softball All-Stars Did you notice who won the MVP award? If not, take notice ••• it was Mr. Guaspari! Yes, dear readers, one of our youngest (and best conditioned) tutors received the mobt votes. How about that!

Lately, the Seniors have not been doing too well against the faculty in our annual game on Graduation Weekend. And this year, Mr. Guaspari will be playing for us. Seniors, I say to you, you are in big trouble.

Women's Track Meet It was pointed out to me by a nymph (Miss Mandy) that nothing had been mentioned in THE COLLEGIAN about the astonishing nymph triumph in the track meet. We now correct that grievous omission.

What was astonishing was that the Nymphs won all the first ten events (everything except the mile relay, where they came in second).

Miss Slowinski. took the 440, 880, and mile. Miss Williams won the soft­ball throw, discus, high jump, and shot put. And Miss Mandy (herself) trium~hed in the 100, 200, and long jump.

Never in the annals of St. John's trdckdom has there ever been such a lopsided triumph.

Good show, Nymphs.

Prediction department Watch out for the Hustlers next year. (Ed. note: With the Hustlers, it's always "Next year". )

The long war over you escaped punishment because like all good politicians: you knew the right people. Even z·eus <>wed you a favor• Like all gods he was inept, try as he might he could not create a decent man. You were granted the responsibility of trying your hand. You held an ace, or maybe it was the Joker. Clay, even with the pride of the lion~ the cleverness of the fox and the bravery of the bull is still clay. Against orders you gave them desire and Zeus was furiousl' Enraged he hurled you to the highest peak of Caucasus, chained there, where an eagle would feed on your liver. Y ou were asked to repent but like your creations found it hard to forgive injustice •. Time was on your side.

THE COLLEJUN

I have recently heard that a Presidential. Search Committee has been formed. This is really alarming to a bleating heart liabler like uqself. I don't under­stand how such a small college could lose its Presi­dent. I realize Dr. Weigle does a lot of traveling, so I can see where it might be possible to miss him for a few days; but to lose the man all together! That seems very careless.

Imagine the consequences of this. Allow me to ex­plain the obvious: !-'eople will say, "Oh, that artsy­fartsy little College can't even keep track: of its President.. What a bunch of nit-wits!" Haverford will really talk it up -- they've always hated us.

And what about the personal side of this affair? I bet ol' Mrs. Weigle is taking it pretty bard. Has anyone talked to her? Heck, maybe she knows where he is -- did he go to Santa Fe? Is he in China? I mean, has anyone really looked for him? I saw him just the other day. Or maybe that was John Burke •••

The point is this: I remember when everycm-e thought -::Jaul McCartney was dead. Boy, vas that stupid! I nope we aren't making the same mistake~

The masters of this art will teach you how to be disarm­ingly witty, verbally abusive, and sexually naive. For more information, talk to me, Jim Sorrymeno, film buff, Hai~per-bol master, &c.

ART GALLERY REVIEW

It was not one of the best openings the Art Gallery has had. First, the wine was almost gone when I got there. Se­cond, I really abhorred the punch. And, as Fred Bore (art critic) put it, "the crakers and cheese stink."

However, some of the works in the gal­lery were well reflected by the onion dip. Then again, some were best.cap­tured by the nuts. Personally, I found that I most enjoyed the oil paintings after I had smeared some peanut butter on them; but, of course, it's all relative. I mean, some of the stuff is better than some of the other stuff, but that's art, y'know?

A St. John's Un-Eidetic Activities Committee was discussed. The purpose of the Committee would be rid the campus of non-program activities. By a vote of 8-3-2-6, the matter was turned over to the Rifle Club.

Mr. Coss ex~reosed concern about the steep hill leading to the lower field on Back Campus. Mr. Coss is afraid somebody trying to catch a long fly ball may fall down the hill. However, since this is a grading problem, it was turned over to the S.C.I.
