According to the action publications committee, Shields as­sumes the role of editor for the current semester, with Hruby act­ing as managing editor. The offices will be reversed in the first semes­ter of next year, with Hruby as editor and Shields as managing editor. The change of editors at the midway point in the year rather than at the end is expected to set a precedent for succeeding editors.

The question in the case was one of first impression, the a c tual prob­lem involved never having been ad­judicated in any court.

Championship D ebates The national championship de­bates will be held at St. Thomas college in St. Paul, Minn., March 7, 8, and 9. Those to make th e trip are George Fleming and George Reuter, Arts seniors, and Paul Syl­vester and John Overbeck, Arts juniors. Mothers Put Dance Over Editors Vision New Quarterly The spring edition of the Loy­ola Quarterly is to be out by the end of March, according to the editorial board of the publication. Articles Planned Several articles are under con­sideration, among which are sev­eral short stories, a treatise by the Rev. John F . McCormick, S. J ., professor and chairman of the department of philosophy, on St. Thomas' idea of economics; a paper by Thomas Buckley, Arts senior, dealing with Plato's ideal of poetry; and an article treating with wit in Latin poetry, presented by Ri chard Garvey, Arts junior. Art-l\Iusic ection In the Art-Music section of the magazine will be found articles by Buckley, Paul Klingsporn, Arts se­nior, and John Nurnberger, Arts senior and member of the editorial board of the Quarterly. These ar­ticles will treat of radio and what it means to the Chicago area, a critique of the Gardiner Read Sym­phony, Eugene Lift, soloist, and the Hoosier oil painting exhibition . Mullenix Will Speak At Philosophy Club The Robert Bellarmine Philoso­phy club will meet in the Cudahy lounge tomorrow night at 8 p. m. Charles Mullenix, Arts senior, will read a paper on "The Epistemology of St. Thomas and Its Relation to Idealism." An open forum discussion will follow Mullenix's talk. This dis­cussion w111 also touch upon the metaphysics of St. Thomas and its relation to the subject of idealism. The general theme of all meetings during the year has been idealism. The Rev. Joseph McLaughlin, S. J., will act as faculty moderator for the evening. Condolences The faculty and students of Loyola university extend their most sincere sympathies to: Robert McReady, Medical jun­ior, on the death of his father. Donald Bryant, Medical jun­ior on the death of his mother. August Campagna, Medical junior, on the death of his brother. Requiescant in p!We. Schedule English Lecturer for Arts Assem bly Major James Strachney Barnes, renowned English lecturer, is to be the guest speaker at the next stu­dent general assembly to be held Tuesday, March 15, at 10:00 a.m., in the Alumni gymnasium. His topic will be concerned with one of the problems of international af­fairs which are of such vital inter­est nowadays. Before becoming a lecturer, Ma­jor Barnes had wide experience in many different countries and fields, though he is yet a young man.

Besides his lecturing and jour­nalistic writing, Major Barnes has written several books, among which are his autobiography and two books on the subject of Fas­cism. Scanning Social Work •• The emphasis being placed upon social work under public agencies which has accompanied develop­ments of recent years in all gov­ernmental activities offers a new challenge and a new opportunity to schools of social work, the Rev. Lucian L. Lauerman director of the National Catholic School of So­cial Service, told the meeting here of the Executive Committee of the National Board of the National Council of Catholic Women. Father Lauerman, who has just returned from the meeting at Tu­lane university, New Orleans, of the American Association of Pro­fessional Schools of Social Service, told of the discussions there and said the National Catholic School of Social Service should be given strong support for the developm nt of a strong and flexible training program. "At the present time," he said, "a school of social work is faced with a new challenge and a far­reaching opportunity. This most recent expansion might b re­garded as a third stage in thr. progress of education for profes­sional social work. Originally schools conceived their responelbll· ity in terms of a broad training program which would prepar" per­sons to meet a large variety of so­cial problems. A next development came with the lntrodurtton of ep - ciallza.tions- major In the train­Ing program. The pr!! cnt step m­phasizes specification of fun tlo within the specialized fields.

Studies in job specification and job analysts are being made by these groups with the purpose of determining the scope and functions of partic-ular positions in the social work Overwhelming success crowned the efforts of the Loyola Univer­sity Mothers' club in presenting their fourth annual Scholarship Fund card party and dance last Friday evening in the Alumni gym­nasium. Mrs . James E. Tarleton, president of the Mothers' club, was chairman of the party. Lynn Johnson and h is orchestra, who supplied the music for the dancing, scored an immediate hit with the students and their dates. His vocali~:~t arid the smooth melo­dious style of presenting his rhythm made him acclaimed one of the finest orchestras ever to play in the gymnasium . These Chess Players!---Ignore Them and Maybe They'llGoAway Elson, Arts sophomore, spoke on Baron von Rlchtofen the "Red Knight of Germany," William Fal­ler, Arts senior, had for his topic "The Industrial Sources of Ger­many after the War," and William Hennen, Arts sophomore, gave a talk entitled "A Bird's Eye View of German Literature."

When thllse studies are com- (Contlnued on page 3, col. 2) One hundred and twenty-five card tables occupied the north half of the gym, which was separated from the dance floor by a large curtain. The Mothers' club fur­nished a prize for each table as well as thirty-three door prizes. The dancing contest proved to be a big attraction, both to the stu­dents and the parent on-lookers. Ed S chneider, alumnus of '36, with hi*artner, Marijo Hollahan, were ju ged the best couple on the floor. e prizes for dancing were do­'} ated by friends of the University. !toot, the photographer, offered sittings for three pictures, the Edgewater Beach hotel gave a credit slip for two table d'hote din­ners, Wagtayles Waffle shop do­nated two $2.50 credit slips, Mrs . H essler's Coffee shop gave a $3.00 credit slip, Cooley' Cupboards do­nated a $2.00 credit slip, and the Granada theater set up two admis­sion tickets. Shortly after the regular danc­ing contest the big apple vvas danced. Ever popular with the stu­dents, this dance proved to be quite a show for the parents. Booths for the various games and raffles which the party spon­sored were tucked in the corners of the gym and provided further enjoyment for the merrymakers. In addition there were those ever popular refreshment stands where sandwiches and pops were at hand The daffi.ness boys are here again. The daffiness boys (and we don't mean Burleigh Grimes' pur­veyors of assinnity) are those local yokels who clutter up the lounge, the lunchroom, the News' office, and other sundry nooks and co r ­ners with their entertaining little game, played on the little board with the sixty-four alternately col­ored squares. This game, which is the bane of most of those persons not com­mitted to institutions, and the par­ticular delight of that sect of indi­viduals politely known as mathe­matical geniuses, is known to the hoi poUoi as Chess. But to that small band of initiates, who have entered the fullness of the knowl­edge of esoteric wonders, it is known as "The Game." Invasion And now, this violent attack up­on the foundations of our econom­ic, social, moral, and political structure has reared its ugly head at Loyola. Certain individuals, who purported to be righteous, upstand­ing individuals when thl!y gained admittance to our institution of higher education, now jltand re­vealed in their true bizarre ha­biliments. They have not only in­troduced this insidious vice into the school but have encouraged and fostered its virulent growth. Now, no doubt, many of you who read this will be inclined to under­estimate this monstrosity which is breeding within our very walls. You will be inclined to pass it off as "just another ga;ne" and not for what it really is. Chess (or the "Game of Games" as its more rhapsodic admirers call it) is not a form of amusement or entertainment. It is a clever device for filling our asylums and enrich­ing our capitalistic psychopaths. Vader Will Act Not only does the game leave one a physical wreck, it also causes grave moral and social deteriora­tion. The queer characters who en­gage in this sport become moody and taciturn; they will speak to no one, and shun all human compan­ionship. Engaged in one of their mental inebriations they will repel all friendly advances like starving wolves at bay. As one young lad, who had the misfortune to go out with one of these chessmaniacs, put it, "They are anti-social. But, definitely!" But, happily, steps are being taken to combat this menace. Those watch-dogs of our morals, those guardians of our safety, the Student Council, are swinging into action, led by their hard-hitting president, that idol of the News' staff, that hero of countless en­gagements in the cause of good student government, John Vader. In a last minute statement to the press, Vader said: "This blot upon the escutcheon of L oyola must be cleaned. As president, I promise that the Stu­dent Council, noted for its quick, decisive action on anything per­taining to the welfare of the stu­dents, will take i=ediate and con­clusive action. Thls thing isn't too big for me, and I know that this viper in our bosom will be nipped in the bud. I'll bring it up at the next meeting."

SPECIAL FEATURE WRITERS James Supple Buster HarUeln Georgo Floming On th. .ol.lolo Ho·Hum Wi.tdom They Fo ster Vol, XIV l\:larch 1, 1938 No. 18 • Sects• Indifferentism is Fount of Modern Paeanism The recent movement of "Christians and Jews" to form a united front against various pagan influences that have invaded our mod­ern world has become important enough to merit the commendation of our daily news­papers. It has declared itself emphatically opposed to the growth of dictatorships throughout the world as instruments by means of which political demagogues are at­tempting to stifle the natural religious in­stincts of mankind. Its battle-cry is "free­dom of n~nscience." 'l'he movement, as a militant attack upon the atheistic materialism which has become the foundation upon which many of our mod­ern governmental and social structures have been based, is certainly worthy of a judicious approval. It is not often that various sects, differing widely in the very fundamentals of their creed, are stirred to any type of con­certed action in a common cause against an enemy which they find to be common to them all . True enough, something must be done in order that the beliefs in God be pre­served, and in at .J~ast attempting to do something they are to be lauded by those who feel, too, that things this side of Para­dise are not as they should be. But we wonder if the very conditions at the root of those evils against which these sects feel themselves inspired to act is not in the basis of their own indifferentism and cry for "freedom." The cause of the multi­plicity of religious beliefs, freedom of deci­sion in matters of moral and religious con­viction, is the very attitude which discredits faith in God and ultimately leads, by way of indifferentism in these matters, to practical, if not dogmatic, atheism and paganism. BY JAl\lES SUPPLE There are moments when one i s convinced that the drama is the greatest of all the arts, but unfor­tunately s uch moments today are pitifully few. Seeing the Maurice Evans' production of Richard II , however, provides one with a mo­ment of such extraordinary mag­nitude that all the inadequaci es of the co ntemporary theatre seem but part of yesterday's history. At the Grand is drama so great in its acting and its production as well as in its intrinsic value that one is convinced that in no time in thea­tre history has there been anything to surpass it. Burbage, Garrick , Keane and Irving, great as they must have been, could not have been better than Maurice Evans. Mr. Evans' characterization is the most human this reviewer has ever seen. Every possible human emotion is stated or implied by Mr. Evans for he is hyper-sensitive to the nature of the human mind and draws from what must have been an immen se study of man for the utterance of every word. It is th is which is the basic reason for Mr. Evans' great success. He gives us ev ery possible phase of Richard 's character; n o othe r actor of our day has so completely masterecl the complexities of a role. There may be actors who can compare with Mr. Evans from a standpoint of poetic interpretation, but there is none who has Mr. Evans' deep insight into human nature. Evans a Master The physical qualities of the Evans performance are as note­worthy as the mental. Mr. Evans is as stagewise as anyone; he has mastered thoroughly all the tricks of the actor's trade. He is graceful in every movement; his slightest gesture has a significance; his ev­ery action is a masterful combi­nation of shr ewd economy and su s­tained action. The Evans' voice is the most beautiful I've ever hea rd . After those last tragic scenes I thought of Talma's rhapsody ove r the music of Lekain's voice, and I understood for the first time how a speaking voice could cause the same all-absorbing emotion that is prompted by great music. Richa1·d II is a great play- no one ever doubted that- but now it seems greater than ever before. It is in some res pects one of the most artful of Shakespeare's tragedies because of its striking contrasts between Richard before and after his abdication and because it is the o nly great tragedy about a man who is little rather than heroic. This is the tragedy of all of us who are by nature too small to cope with our situat ions. Richard Still Modern Richard as directed by Margaret Webster (the daughte r of Dam e May Whitty ) moves rapidly and with a co nstantly h eightening pow­er. Shakespeare's tragedy as seen at the Grand has an amazing air of modernity. It is as alive and fresh as any completely new play, and the pulse of the eternal present is in its every word. You owe it to yourself to see the finest production of the past dec­ade and to see a performance mer­iting fam e as long as ther e are men acting on stages. Everything about this Richard seems perfect. It is beautifully staged with set­t ings so l ovely that they quicken one's heartbeat. Seeing this pro­duction completely restores a wan­ing faith in the contemporary the­atre. If I seem to have gone over­board in my e nthus iasm and if I have flung about superlatives with the extravagant fervor of a little boy r a ving over hi s first Silly Symphony, please forgive me be­cause all of the superlatives are only Mr. Evans' just due-his per­formance represents the finest in dramatic art. Please don't miss Maurice Evan s' Richa1·d II. Such beauty is too sel­dom with us.

As the picture opens Bobby Breen, Shirley T emple, Jane Withers, Sybil Jason, Freddie Bartholomew, and Mi c key Rooney are grouped around a back-room table in a Barbary Coast waterfront dive !mown as Cecil's Snack Bar. Shirley is downing her tl!th ginger-pop straight, and Mickey is unconscious as the result of a three day lemon-coke jag. As th y sprawl in their cups, a voice in song is heard ap­proaching.

Meanwhile, out in Ka~­sas, Martha Raye opens her cavernous maw to de­liver a speech to a Mothers' club and is asphyxiated by a dust storm.

It appears that our sports pages grossly maligned the self-styled "premier baseball player" of the Loyola campus in a recent article on the Father-Son ball game. Writing in a fiery manner, the hero of our diamond spared neither words nor feeling as he penned an answer to the story by Louis Bene­dict which rocked the campus last week-the story of Hughes' release from the St. Ignatius nine. I quote some of the more print­able parts of the letter: ''Dear--- l\ly indignation knew no bounds when I read in your pa­per that my recent strike-out exhibition at the Dads-Sons game had been made the source of much raillery, and that I was being considered the campus clown. "~lng good natured myself, I ~-!fllj!Jftid In heartily at the friendly razz which I was subjected to, never for a moment thinking of carrying out the obvious oppor­tunity to really sue your paper. But now I find that many stu­dents took the article seriously; that they failed to realize that I was actually kidding . "I want everyone to know that my two strikeouts against the slow pitching of the Fathers' team were intentional! It was just a gag on my part to kid the dads along, and please correct yourself at once on these points. "Sincerely "John Hughes" Well, John, we must admit that your exhibition furnished the spec­tators considerable mirth that eve­ning, but if you really were "kid­ding the dads along" we stand cor­rected.

For the local betting gentry we freely offer the following tips: Put it on the line for Bud Knoll to be unbeaten in outdoor competi­tion in the pole vault and for Cam­pion to win the National Tourney. Xavier Avenges Earlier Defeat by Win at Cincinnati Loyola's road-weary basketball quintet suffered its third loss in four traveling games last Satur­day when they fell before Xavier's Musketeers 40 to 27 before 2,500 Cincinnati fans. The X men, who showed nothing a month ago at Alumni gym when the locals crushed them 53 to 37, are appar­ently invincible on their home floor. Roy Neary and Don Carroll, Musketeer forwards, were again the thorns in Loyola's side, caging 29 points between them. Neary hit six field goals and five charity tosses, and Carroll notched 12 points on five and two. Penetrates Defense The home five took a co=and­ing lead in the first eight and one­half minutes of play, during which they scored 10 points while holding Loyola scoreless. At the half they held a 21 to 8 lead, hitting chiefly on fast breaks and under the bas­ket shots. "Wibs" Kautz, although held to a scant seven points while he was in the game, drew most of the at­tention from the close-guarding Musketeer guards. His season rec­ord now stands at 263 points in seventeen tilts. Mike Novak was likewise held down, garnering only two field goals and a duo of free throws.

De Milliano Upset, It's Only Ping Pong The Intramural ping pong tourc nament went into the second round of play this week, but without Wibs Kautz, defending champion, who is on tour. The finals of the tourney according to present plans will be held on March 31, at the Carnival of Champions. Dick Sierks, potent Dolan-Rock challenger, has not played his sec­ond round contest as yet but is expected to advance very rapidly. The outstanding triumph of the week was scored by Sol Lask over Bob McKeever 21-6, 21-10. AI Burke, Zephyr mainstay, pounded out a decisive victory over Bob Birren, who that day was holding the wrong paddle. Sam Marotta, representing the Pi Alphs, posted a victory over Gil de Milliano, who now is concentrating more directly on his handball crown. The Intramural board wishes to OPEN-MILE As All-Star Race The Wilson Open Mile, a recent I-M innovation, was yesterday scheduled to be run the evening of March 31, as the first step to­ward making the coming Night of Champions one of the most color­ful in Intramural history. Named in honor of Loyola's cinder coach, Alex Wilson, former Notre Dame star and Canadian representative in the 1932 Olym­pics, the event will be held on the indoor track of the gymnasium some time throughout the thrill packed evening. Varsity vs. 1-l\1 Stars Limited only in the number of entrants, twenty being the stipu­lated amount, the race is expected to draw the cream of both varsity and Intramural distance runners. The fact that of late there has been much controversy over the subject of which performers were the speedier has tended to make the event of even greater importance. Thirteen times the prospective Cunninghams, San Romanis, and Venzkes will stream around the high curves and straightaways of the oval before the moot question of which group is the more potent can be answered. An award, not yet decided upon, will be presented to the winner. A great big hand, chipped in by the 1,000 or more people expected to be attracted to the gym that night of all nights, will await the boys who chase the victor across the line.

Although the score was top­heavy, the meet was not decided until the final event, the 200-yard free style relay, which was won by the southern mermen by a two yard margin. The win was the fifth first place copped by them, which put the meet on ice. Frosh Trio Star Three freshman stars kept Loy­ola in the contest, when Ray Dougherty wriggled through to a close decision in the diving; Bob McKeever staged an uphill fight to cinch the 200-yard free style; and Ebbie Corboy, elongated back­stroker, hung up his third straight win in that event. AI Burke and Warren Matt again staged another hairbreadth race in the breaststroke but it was not close enough to catch their flying opponent, who turned in the speedy time of 1:13.3 to nose the pair out. Max Shapiro, ''Bubbles" Ahnger, and Marty O'Shaughnessy added seconds and thirds 1'0he!p in the scoring, but it wasn't enough to turn the trick. Presenting H. H. The swimmers meet North Cen­tral college of Naperville on next Saturday night in the home po'Jl in a return meet. The first tilt re­sulted in a 37-29 verdict for the local forces, despite two record­breaking performances by Harold Henning, gigantic Central fr"esh­man. Henning, one of the fastest free styles and backstrokers in this section, will see action again Sat­urday. Sumaries: SO·YARD FREE STL!'E-Won by Ken· lucky; Kentucky, second Sh"piro (L), third.
