Dr. Melchior Paiyi, the eminent and world famous economist from the University of Chicago, addressed a meeting of the International Relations Club on Monday evening, February 14 in the Seminar Room of the College Library. Approaching his topic, "The Economics of Fascism,'' in the age-old scholastic manner, Dr. Palyi began by defining terms and setting the issue clearly before his audience. He then stated the facts as they occured in the two chief Fascist countries, Germany and Italy, polnting out how the system was working at the present time.

His explanation of the <~closed circulation system" of Italy and Germany was especially interesting. The open forum which followed the lecture proved to be exceptiomilly interesting ,especially when such vital topics as the difference in the religious convictions of the two nalions was brought under discussion.

Lefty Go blob j Who 's What

By Bresnan aud

a.odquJ.st

The venerab)e lli. Goblob, a member of the class o! '.06, honored this institution with his presence last week. During his student days, 01 Le.fty" was connected with the totlowing organizations: Debating Society, Cisca, N. Y. A., Holy Name Society, C. Y. 0 ., and many other organizations and campus activities.

No one ever knew Goblob's Christian name; when asked what is was, be would reply "Lefty". Goblob signed all his term and th eme papers with the familiar signatur&-"Lefly".

Ranking secona moly to Taboodle in athletic endeavors, Goblob was a colorful character in the Viator sport world. In one respect, "Lefty" had Taboodie beat, it was ,that when training for a big football or basketball game, Joe T aboodle r equired, rather demanded, three days s leep while "Lefty" only !lllked for fo urtyeight hours to rest his w eary bones for a game.

During his sophomore year, ' 04, "Lefty" won "The Cup" three consecutive times and thus gained permanen t possession of it for the entire y ear It is rumored about that "Lefty" was the person who did Taboodie's homework; however, " Skinny" Dugan d enies this fact and says it is j ust an u g ly rumor and t ha t he is the one r esponsible for Taboodie's graduation. ("Skinny" Dugan will be discussed thoroughiy in a later issue.)

Goblob was a youth of such uncanny and unbelievable str ength t h at after a game at Car bondale, he plunged through the Stadiu m wall a nd rushed over t o his g irl's bouse, she was peeved at him because he was la te for the date.

Edi tor's Not&-l-,. g(\!ls without saying that Mr. Goblob is one of the fictit ious though much talked about characters on the campus. A biog r a phy of his contemporary, J oseph T aboodie, w ill ap pear in an early edition o... the Viator ian.) paid by another drawn with the swor d, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it m ust be said, 'The j udgments of the Lord are t rue and rig hteous altogether .' Wit h m alice towar..... none, with charity fo r a ll, wi th firmness in the right, as God g ives us to see t he right , let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to do a ll which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace amonk our selves, and wit h all nations."

VIATOR· SPORTS Irish Gain On I j DePaul Rallies To stop Viator

"Basketball is a game that is easy to play at, yet bard to play perfectly, .. This is Dr. James Naismith's characterization of the game he invented at Springfield, Massachusetts, Y. M. C. A. College in 1891.

It was included, for the first time, in contest sport at the Olympic Games at Berlin two years ago. Incidentally, the united States won the title on a rainswept outside basketball court.

-Tbe victory of D ePaul Unive rsity over St. Viator was only the sixth victory for the Blue Demons in nineteen games witli. the Irish. It was DePaul's ability to score at the free throw line that decided the battle. They scored sixteen free shots out of nineteen a ttempts . Yet in their next game, against Hamline University of Minnesota, the Demons converted o-n ly five out of nineteen tries.

--Did you know tha t Bushell, Me· Lain and Clancy were placed on the AU-Confe rence team in 1919-20?

--Basketball is not played only in the United States. It is played in Nova Scotia, Canada, the Province of Manitoba, Alaska, British Columbia, Hawaii, and mos t of the Europea..n countries.

The largest score that a Viator team has piled up in many years, was the 62 to 31 victory over Oshkosh Normal of Wis., on Dec. 18, 1936.

Old M E 1 d hob with a lot of ; g ;::~e;::eat the semester. In fact, the fencing s quad was the only one to escape at illinois. The basketeers lost seven, track lost two while the swimming team fe ll apart. _ __ The Southern Profs of Carbondale are called the Bridegrooms. Four, of the first five men on the squad are happily married.

Speaking of free throws, here is one for the books. The Christian Brothers High School of St. Louis, recently won the free throw contest sponsored by a St. Louis paper, and the next day lost t o Cathedral High (Springfield, lllinois), by making only four out of twenty free throws.

Which f urther shows the inconsistency of basketball teams.

By Vince Murphy The Green Wave cagers closed their recent four-day trip with a pair of conference victories , over McKendree and E as t ern Teachers.

McKendree was taken into camp by a 36-33 count after the Irish trailed 17-2 a t an early stage of the contest.

The g ame became thrilling in the second half as Red McElligott and Tony Sacco started pouring the lea· ther through the hoop with only a few minutes left to play, and th e Wave pulled the game out of the fire.

The next ni'ght found a repetition !)f the McKendree game as Wilkinson's men met Eastern on thei r small floor. It was the third time in three nights that Viator met up with a small floor and because they had become accustomed to the tiny ,proportioned co urts, they won going away a nd gained revenge for their previdus setback at the hands of the Profs. The final sco re was 48·45.

The palm for Viator's triumph must be handed to aiongated Red McElligott who not only hoop ed nineteen points but added the final three points to break a 45-45 tie with less than a minute left to play.

The two outfits battled on even terms most of the s truggle, but after Eastern went ahead by virtue of Waldrip's hot shoo ting , "Sticks" Fitzgerald hooked a left handed shot from the side of the court t o knot the count. McElligott then contributed his bit of heroics to sew up the game.

It was the second second conference win out of three attempts for the W ave on the trip and the third of the season and brought them up for conference to a .500 r ating p lay.

Because of his jumping ability he has been u sed as a center as well as a g uard.

Even though he has been slowed down somewhat by a knee injury which necessitates the wearing of a brace, his play this year h as far overshadowed his previous efforts.

H e has never been a heavy scorer because he takes very few shots, but Burke showed that h e could score when it was necessary when he split the hoops four times against DePaul to lead the Irish attack The Springfield youth not only led the scorers but was the outstanding man on "the floor agains t the Demons.

Burke aiso played football during his freshman year but gave up the g rid sport to devote his time to basketball.

H e was a member of the varsity baseball teams during his freshman and sophomore yea r s , being quite a hurler a s well as a first baseman.

He will b e sorely missed when the call for basketball candidates is issued next year and also by his many friends when he leaves here in June. Burke is a Commerce rnajor, but may not have to depend on Accounting for a living because of his skill with the scissors and clip· pers.

He is quite a tonsorial arti.st. In addition, he h as probably the bes t singing voice on the vars ity squad and is always called on PF to entertain the cagers during road trips.

By Harold Sandquist A last minute scoring thrust, aided by a break, enabled the Blue Demons to eke out a 34-31 decision over the Fighting Irish five. The Irish had fought a d esperate uphill battle and finally assumed a .31-30 lead with but two minutes remaining. It was St. Viator's ball in the center of the court when a tough break in the form of a bad pass occurred. Tom Cleleand, DePaul cocaptain, intercepted the ball and dribbled down to count what proved to be the winning marker. Stan Szukalla's two charity tosses ,proved superfluous.

A crowd of 1,500 fans witnessed the game and they certainly saw a lot of fine basketball. The Green Wave gave one of its best exhibitions of the year, outscoring DePaul in field goals 12-9, but the uncanny accuracy of the DePaulians from the free throw line more than offset this advantage. A glance at the record book shows that the Blue Demons made good on 16 out of 19 charity tosses. Johnny Burke and Red McElligott wer e outstanding for Viator while Bob Neu did some plain and fancy shooting for DePaul to the tune of fourteen points.

LOVE FOR BOOKS "\Vithout a love for books eveu the richest man is poor" is the sign we r ead as we enter the library. " Love for books" is rather general so let us limit om· fi eld as well as our discussion to the J:eading of novels. A no yel consists of essentially a narrative plot, of considerable length , pr esenting a unified, collSistent picture of human life and character.

But a novel is, in actuality, much more than the mere definition establishes. A novel introduc es us to superior men and woman, it acquaints us with men and women we hardly dreamed of meeting. A novel renders us the convenience or opportunity of sp ending at random delightful hours with these persons of fame and prestige.

Picture y ourself in a quiet room, a fireplace , an easy chair, light from a solitary lamp, and in an adjoining chair a man like Sinclair Lewis, Dale Carnegi e, A. J. Cronin, of Lloyd C. Douglas; of a woman such as Shelia Kaye-Smith, Willa Cather, or Margaret Mit chelL Dispensing with contemporaries we can discuss, question, and debate philosophy of the pessimistic kind with Hm·dy, idealism and virtue with Dickens, manners in a well regulated society with 'William D ean Howells, Jan e Austen or Edith Wharton. We can, if we will, explore the minds of the a ncients and investigate the theories of Plato and Aristotle. Certainly this ability of gaining a n insight int o the beliefs and disbeliefs, the likes and dislikes, prej udic es and opinions is enticin g. Hm,-eYer , t here is something as much if not more intriguing in r eading a worthwhle novel.

When w e r ead a uol'el w e not only become intimate with the author but we also meet a host of characters who bec ome either ?nr fri ends or our en emies. l Ye love, bate, admire, respect, sympath Ize, fo llow the exp eriences of th e personages in noYels with the ~Mne avidity we display toward our animate, tangible, everyday fr1 ends. 'ro us these men a nd women live and a r e real d epending, of course, on t he quality of the artists workmanship. "\ s a matter of fact, if a. man r eads books, he hardly requires f riends b esid es those he finds, acquaints, and cherishes therein.

Some tblnk that to love God. which ls another word fo r being holy, we must be on our knees all the time, praying. But Saint P aul v.ith \"isdom divine, saw that even eating and drinking could be a prayer.

Hence, he could well write in his Epistle to the Corinthians, ordinary laymen lhey we r e too, "Therefore., whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all for the g lory of God." He chose the most common incidents of the day, eating and drinking, to show that our whole day can be offered up to God. If we fail t o do this , we are the losers.

Prayer, after all, is simply lifting the heart up ~o God. Now unfortunately none of us can be on our knees all the time, praying formally.

Each day, now and after graduation, we have or will have a certain amount of work, recreation, eating, drinking, and even sleeping to do.

Did you ever realize that Christ's religion, sublime and perfect in its totality, nevertheless is so simple necessarily connotes the presence of that we can offer that whole day justice. Where jus tice reigns, there up to God? is order, and there is, as a consequence, the state that we call peace.

thought of \Y.bat seems to be, -a a presldc:nt a!: the United States must be elected we all know.

1.. right, then let's ha!!lily ''tal<~ a look" a t the major political part!.,_ The R epublican Party is no t whu.t It nsed to be; Tbe Democrats are at a. loss as to Whom to oominn.le for thei r candidate ; the Socialist&-w ell one neve r knO?ts what they a.re goi ng to do. Now, as we can s urmise, not one of these partles is preponde.ra.ntly strong-. Therefore, the opportunity of ano t her parly entering the field, with a fair assurance of s uccess, presents .i t.se l( .

The writer' s idea is that a party comprising Mattingly as presidentia l candidate and Moore fo r the VicePresidency be organized. We could 1 't ca 1 1 the Sociable Party .

Would th e platform be successful ?

Let' B th fores anse:~ten~ve s:~r:es, f e~:n be~ . tat . y o e varIous 5 es 15 taken, reveal a popularity unequalled, unprecendented and unparalled in recen' years. The South, a notorious Democrat ic stronghold, will re-linquish its sup~ port because both Matting ly and Moore are native sons of the South .

In the North and Mid-West the nam¥ es Mattingly and Moore are, as made apparent from a very re cent study by a notabl e authority, almost house· hold words. The New Eng~and States too, show a liking for the proposed men. H ence, we need discuss no further the fact that their popularity is a lready established, their names well-known arid that the potentialities or possibilities of their being elected are highly probable.

Well, now th at the seed of a political movement h as been plan ted it remains but to conclude. For this purpose a little narrative frequently told by one of our more eminent "philosophic sophists" might be fitting. At any rate here is the story.

It seems as if this master of polemics while visiting in New York, wandered, by chance, into one of the more exclusive "places." A faro~ ous connoisseur of liquor had just made a considerable wager as to his ability. After tbis noteworthy personage, while blindfolded, has successively tasted and named an array of drinks, the bar tender, with whom the be t had been made, in desparation slipped a g lass of water in the line. The connojsseur came to the water, tasted it, hesitated, appeared puzzled and finally exclaimed, "Whatever it is it never will he a popular drink." By tbe way, what bas all this to do with Mattingly and Moore? Oh well-it is said that anything can be written in Foo. Moreover, where the Foo falls so the Foo falls. Foo what?

It's simple, isn't it? And yet, like so many simple things, it is too valuable to omit for even one day.

1-femorize this Morning Offering : "0 Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for roy sins. fo r the intentions of all our Associates and in particular for the Intention recommended each month by the Holy Father."

Say it every morning. Get into tbe habit of saying it at the first break of day so that it will be so much a part of your ordinary Hfe tha t if you omit it, during. your vacations or after your graduation, the omission of it will be as noticeable as the omission of your break· fast.-Notre Dame Bulletin .

IAn Appreciatio? Of

French LIter at u r e

Father Loughran, Glee Club director, has announced that the club has resumed work in preparation for a spring program, the detailed nature of which he did not reveal. He also stated that there will be no operetta in conjunction with the College of St. Francis this year, pointing out that the inconveniences arising from distance are too num-

maintain that they are lacking in substance.

Exaggeration, exaltation, the fanatic, spirit, are extremely rare.

Temperance is the almos t universal rule in speech, demeanor, taste and habits. Nothing is less French than eccentricity.

The normal attitude is eqUipoise : any shock to this Frenchmen instinctly disThe unknown has few attrac~ like. tions for them.

The positive and systematic ordering of the known absorbs their attention.

Nothing with us very deeply impresses the mind if it does not a rouse the emotions.

Naturally, thus, we are predisposed insensibly to infer from French articulateness the absense of substance, to assume from the triumphant facility and felicity of French expression a certain insignificance of what is expressed.

Inferences and assumptions based on temperament, however, almost invariably have the vice of supefficiality, and it takes no very prolonged study of French literature for candor and Intelligence to perceive that it is exceptionally strong in rhetorical, artistic, cultivated, aesthetically elevated ideas, as well as in that technical excellence which alone, owing to our own inexpertness, first strikes and longest impr esses us.

Is not consciousness the greatest of the divine gifts to man? I s not intelligence the measure of his distance from the brutes, the bond which unites him to the gods, the instrument of his salvation? It is this confidence in the efficacy of the intelligence which makes the French so swift to execute their ideas, so anxious to press and impose them.

The trait is as noticeable in personal as in public matter, in social as in the political arena. It is this which makes them so enamored of the positive and practical truths; and it is their passionate attachment lo these, and thel:t'"" desire - to make them prevail, which splits parties into groups, r everses ministries, produces revolutions.

That a thing should be admitted and not a dopted is incomprehensible to the French mind; that it should not be admitted after having been proven~ after a ll that may be said against it has been answered, and simply because of an instinctive distrust in the human reason, is inconceivable lo it.

Their works have a dis tinctly professional air. They distrust what cannot be expressed; what can only be suggested does not seem to them worth the trouble of trying to conceive.

This passion for clearness appears nowhere more manifest than in the French language itself, the clearness of which is a commonplace. It is for this reason, rather than because it is the earliest settled European idiom, and because of French preponderance in European affairs, th~t it is the language of diplomacy. It is at once a compliment to it clarity, it preciseness, and an admission of its superiority to say that the official language of the court of England (and consequently the Empire )is French to say that it has been the language as far as usuage goes, at the peace and disarmament conferences of Geneva and the Hague. It is impossible to be at once correct and obscure in French.

Expressed in French, a proposition cannot be ambigions. Ar>Y given collocation of words bas a signigicance that is certain. Permut· ation of words means a change of ideas. Spanish may have more rhetorical variety; English a choice between poetry and prose phraseology, German may state or rather "shadow forth" more proundity; Italian be "richer" as the Italians who find French themselves constrained in are always saying; the s ynthetic languages may express more concisely certain muances of thought and feeling; yet none of them is so precise as the Frenc}?.. One of Victor Hugo's chief titles to fame is his accomplishment in moulding the French language to his thought (as in his Les Contemplations, the Religionset Religion, and Les Miser· ables), in developing its elasticity by making it say new things. One can appreciate how the French Ian· guage itself, with such an ideal as this, conduces to the measuret' bf the French temperament, the clearness of the French mind.
