'MARTIN TOOHILL TO LEAD COLLEGE CLUB Makes PRESIDENT HEARD Holy Name GOOD ATTENDANCE Defeats Herbert Shea in Hotly Enrollment Plea Contested Battle for Presidency

BY EUROPEANS AT SPRING DANCE :Radio Speech of Rev. J. W. R. Maguire Flaying Yellow-Dog Contracts Carried to Distant Pla,ces

I

Selecting ,Mother's Day as the most auspicious occasion for the annua l enroll ment of new members, Josep h lioog, President of the Holy Name Society of St. Viator College, has named that day for the regular ,induction. It so happens that Mother's Day and Holy Name Sunday are synomomous, and all students of the College have been urged to attend Holy Communion on t ha t day with the double nitention in mind.

It has been the custom of the pa~t for every Catholic student of St, Viator to join the Holy Name Society, and it is not expected that this year's enrollment will fall s hort of the usual total. The great.er majority of t he students of the College are a lread y members of the Society. and those few who are w ithout its ranks are expected to join in the very near future in order that 811other hundred percent record may be made.

The New World for May 1, 1931, comments on one of. the Very Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, c. s. v., series of , radio broadcasts over station WCFl\and its sister station W9XAA. Sta' tion WCFL together with station W9XAA carries Father Maguire's I weekly talks every Sunday eveni ng to New Zealand, South America and Europe. At the present time, the , talks may be heard from 8 :00 to 8 :30 in the evening. .

Father Maguire stated that many people feared org,anized labor because they had no real understanding of it: He asserted that, for a great i. many_ years orga,nized labor has tended to improve steadily the conditions of the working classes. He maintained that "it is an elementary principal of reason that men have a natural right to ef,lter into associa tion with their fellow beings for The Two Upper-Classes , legitimate purposes." He gave proof Unite to Sponsor Last for the truth of this statement, citing Holy Writ and t he famous EnDance of th~ Year ,. cyclical' of Pope ~eo XIII and held , th~t all society was based on t hat A lthough the details are not as principle. yet ready for announcement, it has In the course of his talk h e flayed been officially decided by the two the use of "yellow-dog" contracts classes concerned that the final forced by organized employers upon dance of the school year, the Junioremp loyees who desire to become S.enior Prom, wioJ] be held late this , affiliated with a labor organization, month, most probably on the twentybut are balked by this demand of the second.

Viator Gym The Viatorian Scores Scoop on About sixty-five couples attended Election News the College Club's Spring dance in the gymnasium on Wednesday evening, April 29th. Although in comparison to the Homecoming dance the crowd was small, those who did come out to the affair declared t hat it was one of the most s uccessful 'social events of the year. Even the weather man was just cool enough, to make dancing on the big floor very enj oyable.

The decorations were similar to those used at the other dances in the gymnasium during the year, except that Ray Wenthe and his committee secured a pleasing effect by hanging a large g lass ball in the very center of the building; as the ball revolved, lights were flashed on it from below. The lighting effects were cleverly arranged. The artistic placing of severa l large ferns about the vario us tables gave a pleasing atmosphere.

Ray Wu lff's Orchestra from Kankakee furni shed the melodies to which students and their friends danced . This band has been one of the students' favorites during the past two years, and their performance on the 29th was in keeping with their usual brand of quality music.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Da hman, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Matthews, Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Clancy, and Mr. and Mrs. Betourne were the chaperones for the event.

F ather Girard Starts Lecture Course Rev. Father A. L. Girard, '07, of Momence, Illinois, and former in-I structor at the College, gave the first of his four lectures on the subject of Medieval Art to the History students last Tuesday afternoon in Room 47 of Marsile Hall. He illustrated his very interesting lecture with a selected group of slides, some of w hich were beautifully colored. Although Father Girard claims to be but an amateur in the field of art, he has spent some litt le ti~e in its stud y. He h as obtained much of his information first hand by trips to the Continent and by attendance at many of the metropoli tan expositions.

According to Dr. John Tracey Ellis , head of the Department of History, the remaining three lectures wi ll be open to anyone who wish;s to attend. This policy has also been in effect in regard to the other ' special lectures in Medieval History.

Martin Toohill of Bloomington, Illinois, won the most hotly contested battle in years for the Presidency of the Coll ege Club as he defeated Herbert Shea, Fort Wayne, Indiana, by a margin of twenty-five votes. The final co unt stood at seventy-two votes for ToohiIl to forty-seven for Shea.

From the moment of t he nominations, friends and supporters of the two principals were engaged in electioneering in t heir behalf. Placards, posters, personal letters, speeches, and all the other trappings of national elections were in evid ence as the two machin es turned themselves loose upon the voters of the campus. On the morning of election day, the campus was white and red and black with the posters of the two parties. Every effort was exerted in an effort to elect "their" man by the members of the two parties, and discussions waxed hot as The Students Complete the meri ts of the two were set forth.

Team IRISH DEFEAT FENCERS GET BID Enter TInennis Little 19 Meet JOLIET, GIVE TO TOURNAMENT OUT SCHEDULE Official Recognition of St. Viator Swordsmen Is Made by Golden Swords Chiefs · l ' The first o ffilela recogmtion of the newly formed fencing team of St. Viator College has come in the form of an invitation to the Viator swordsmen to compete in the Golden Swords Tournament, which is to be held at the St. Clair Hotel in Chicago this year. Dr. Bessenyey and his team have not yet decided definitely whether of not they will enter, but it is probable that they will do so.

Haye Sabre Work.

St. Viator is one of the very few schools in the United States in which the ancient sabre-duellin g is taught. This is the form of fencing which is used on the field of honor, .3.nd the most popular form in Europe. The Viator fencers are fortunate in having as instructor, Dr. Bessenyey, former Hungarian cavalry officer, and duelli st of some note both on the continent and in this country. Under his tutelage the Viator fencers ha ve developed unus ually rapidly, attributing the major part of their quick progress to hi s fine knowledge of the art.

Three Divisions .

There will be three divisions of work in the Golden Swords. The foi l competition-the form most practiced in this country-will take place on May ninth . Sword sompetition will be held on May sixteenth, while the sabre trials will be run off on May twenty-third. The finals in all events will be held on May thirtieth, at which time the contestants wi ll be entertained at a banquet in the St. Cla ir Hotel.

The meet w ill be held under the direction of Edmond J. Clermont, Maitre d' Armes of the Chicago and Illinois Fencing Club.

Sabre Work More Ve Tsa tile.

The sabre fencing, in which the local aspirants are interested, is the most versatile of all the branches of the sport. The sabres are trim, pliable weapons, which become as blades of g limmering, flashing steel i~ the hands of their wielders. Foil fencing is limited to "touches," while sabre fencing uses all the varied cuts in the swordsman's repetoire . More pliable than the foil s (sabre blades can almost be doubled on themselves) and less lumbersome than the heavy broadsword, the sabre type of duelling is the most perfect way of Rettling diS]1Utes.

The exhibition s staged by the fencing team during the year have demon~trated that the sport is fascinating to watch as well a~ to enjoy as a participant.

Considering Entrance.

The team i, considering entrance in the tournament, and if satisfactory arrangements can be made, may! participate. A three-man team will

St. Viator branched out into still another sport this Spdng as an Irish tennis team was selected to compete in the Little Nineteen meet at Naperville. Five men will make the trip, of which squad, four men will be picked to compete in the singles and doubles matches.

The team will be under the captainey of ,"Villard Shuffiitowski , holder of innumerable Jun ior titles, including the 'Vestern Michigan. and the Chicago Junior championships.

Shuffiitowski will take Charles Coppens, Tri-City champion from Moline, Pat Cleary of Fort Wayne, Burke Monahan, Chatsworth, and Mont.eeth Weaver, Kankakee.

The team members have been practicing on the Roy Hall courts and have shown considerable ability.

In particular have Shuffiitowski alld Coppens been attracting the galleries to their matches, while Monahan and Cleary form an almost unbeatable doubles team . Shufflitowski is a cool, calculating player, whose placements are the despair of his opp.o nents. Coppens and Monahan are exponents of the various trick s hots of tennis, the la tter's dropball being the pride of the campus.

Cleary is a brilliant player of the fla shing type. It is hi s delight to he bombards his opponents with one storm the net for smash shots, and long success ion of cannon-ball returns. Weaver is a newcomer, but fo rm displayed in the recent intraclass tournament earned him his place on the varsity.

SENIOR BASEBALL LEAGUE STARTED Freshmen Volunteer to Reorganize the IntraMural League and Draw up Schedule The thudding "pow" of a fungo bat on the t hiek ball of the indoor leagu e resounds again over the Viator campus as the Intra-Mura l baseball season is opened. Because of the amount of work preparatory to graduation which is nOw confronting the Senior class, the Fres hmen, through theil' Pres ident, Pat Farrell, offered their services in reo rganizing the league from its basketball status and drawing liP a baseba ll schedule.

Ten Teams Entered.

According to the plans made by Mr. Farren and his able assistant, Bob Delancy, the number of teams has been reduced from fourteen-the number during basketball seasonto ten, and each team will play nine games.

The f;chcdule calls for two games a day, one immediately following

the noon dinner, and on£' after the evening supper. The contests will be decided on the historic old Senior League dian , md behind Roy Hall.

The cold weather and muddy diamond prevented both teams fl'om playing a good brand of ball, but the Irish displayed an apparent superiority. It was the first appearance of the season, and} inasmuch a sit was but a practice game, the Iris h did not open up.

The mound duties were divided among Todd, veteran right-handel' of last year's squad, and McNaughton, pitching prospect with consid· erable ability. Ahern did the catch ing for the varsity, and the little fellow ha da ll the pep and ginger that a good backstop shou ld have on cloudy days.

Because of their consistent low scoring a,nd past experience in golf tournaments, Gay lord Chapman, Popular Bluffs, Mo., and Rogel' Wheatland, Streator, Ill., have been se lected to represe nt the Coli ege in the Little N ineteen Golf TOUl'nament to be held On May 15th at Knox College, Galesburg.

The oncoming Sophomore class gained the honor of being the first c laR~ to get its elections out of the way by meeting on Wednesday aftcrnOQ n to select officers for the ensui ng year.

William Riley of Chicago won the flection for t he Presidency over Will iam Clancy of Kankakee in a r,ood I'ace. Mr. Riley has been one of t he most popular of the Fresh111 0n s tud ents t h roughout the year, :1nd is we ll qu al ifi ed to s ucceed Mr. Farrell in t he hi g hest position in t he class.

Mi nor Officers Named.

The office of Vice-President went to Robert Nolan, of Rockford, II I. Mr. Nolan ha s been highly r es pected I y the class and the student body as a whole through out the year, a n d is expected to prove an excellent advisor to hi s president.

Sylvester Waldron , of Chicago, w ill be t he new class Secretary, while James Dug::m of Bloom ington is to have charge of the fund s of the class in hi s cap ac ity of Treasurer .

Both men are so well known as to make further in troduction supcrflotls.

The position of Delegate to the Adv isory Board of th e College Club was won by Wilbur Ca llahan, another Bloomington youth. Mr. Cal lahan h:ls demonstrated his ability t.o hold office many times through out t he year, especiall y when he was mad e Ed itor-in-Chi ef of the F reshman issue of t he Viatorian .

Outlook Very Bright.

W it h t he excellent sla,tc of officers selected, t h e outlook fo r the class during its Sophomore year is particu larl y bright. Th e Freshmen atta in ed a hi gh degree of organization t hi s year under the a ble leader shi p of Patrick Farrell, and, with the initiative displayed throughout 1930 and 1931 to spu r t hem on, they should achieve eve n greater successes during the ensuing year. ______

W ell, Why Not? Thum bing t he pages of a year-old back num ber of the Living Age we came across the title: "Why Call Americans America,n s" a nd investigated. The artic le was wri tten by Mau ri ce Larrouy, a co,r respondent of Le Temps, a Paris daily.

It seems that M. Larrouy had had enough of what he choosed to term : "t.he arro gance of the ci tizens of the United States in taking to themselves 'the title America,ns-that glorious adjective that should belong to al L" By all the writer mean t the citizens of all the other countries on the continent: Canada, Chile, Argentine, Mexico and all the others! He contends that the country came by its hodge-podge of races merely through Luck, but its hard for us to believe that it was merely luck that lnade th is country s~ desirable that t h ousands have sought its shores of their own volition. He terms t he country: "nouveau rich e. 1I This country has been the most prosperous in t he worid since its very founding ,it was probably the vast kinestic and potential wealth of the States that hurt the British more than their pride whe n the laughable little Republic wrested itself free .
