The ACRL Grants program is designed for improving the quality of library service to higher education. It does not give attention to geographical location, but rather to the nature of the request. It is particularly interested in those applications which promise that an answered grant will •be matched by a special gift from outside the library..

When Miss Jane Vink, librarian, applied .for the grant this fall, she called attention to the increased debt of our new library, as well as the faculty,

On Saturday, March 26, Archbishop John J. Krol will dedicate Holy Spirit Library, at 11 :00 a.m., Mother Ursula., college president, announced recently.

Guests will proceed from the Administration Building to the library where the archbishop will bless the new building. Following this, dedication of the new faculty i;,ffl.ces will take place.

Friends, faculty, and students will then meet in the auditorium. Rev. Lewis Rongione, librarian of Villanova University, will deliver the invocation; Msgr. Edwar4 T. Hughes, Superintendent of schools in the will Phi1adelphia archdiocese, render the keynote address.

Finally Valley Forge Military Academy' Band and Choir will perform in concert.

They Also Serve As interested on-lookers we share a concern for the crisis in Vietnam; but as American college women is a passive, noninvolved attitude our only duty?

Some area colleges have expressed a different opinion on this subject by taking an active interest in the future of the war, in the ravaged villages of Vietnam, and in American servicemen fighting in the jungles around Saigon.

Pennsylvania Military College, for example, recently held a series of benefit dances; the proceeds will be used to adopt an orphan village in Vietnam.

The women of Beaver College have directed their time and talents toward making valentines and small gifts to serve as morale boosters for our soldiers.

Various other schools carry on correspondence with our soldiers keeping them abreast of current news in the States. This is effective in helping to create a high company morale.

Numerous charitable organizations and soci~l clubs donate their time to bandagemakmg and volunteer nursing in service hospitals in the States.

Those of us who have close contact with the war-brothers, boy-friends, or relatives serving our country-have probably shown some. sort of an interest in their welfare .

But IS it not the duty and privilege of all citizens to show an active · support of those men striving to maintain our basic tenetfreedom?

'Erstwhile Campus Conservati .ve'c·ompares Liberafs ToAnts, Bees, Cattle-, Herds ofSwine Initially, this seems harmless enough; :but on second reading, the phrase "like-minded individuals" ·becomes ·rather disturbing. Ants are like-minded individuals, as are bees , cattle and herds of swine .

Huanan beings, however, have shown a ;rather disturbing tendency to think for themselves, and it is my hop .e that t hey will continue to do so even at the risk of disqualifying themselves for membership in a liberal society .

To be a "self-directing individual" and a member of a "group of like-minded individuals" at one in the same time is a logical impossibility and a contradktion in teruns.

There is little if any room for individ ual i ni ti ative in a ce ntralized society. To .centralize is to consolida ,te-to focus; ergo, to centralize the government is to consolida •te pow.er in the .government.

One of the most powerful governments in rthe worJd today exists in Soviet Russia. It did not gain power through instant communism. Obviously Russia's process of centralization had to have a beginning, just as it is be.ginning in the Uniited States today.

By CLAIRE CASSIDY As an "eI'S!twhile carrnpus conservative" I would like to ahsw;er the article on Liberalism .that appeared in the last issue of the Loquitur. The basis of Liberalism can be found in the following quote taken fu-om that article: "While it is true thait the liberal advooates a ,centralized form of •government , it should be noted that he founds this belief on the principle rthat society may be well based on the self-direoting power of the individual. This is reflected in the 'iPower of numbers , arising with a cohesive group of like-minded individuals . . . asserted against injustice and tyranny.' (J .

Analysts, Existentialists Rebel; Both Groups Deny Metaphysics

By JEAN BAUDOUIN

AND MARIE SCHMIDT

A il"ecent issue of Time magazine diooussed the problems of philosophy 'Since the turn of the century.

The sbrong ·belief in the ideal and the absolute rampant in the 19th century was weakened in th~ twentieth century wHh the increase in scientific and common sense fu.inking.

The result was a i!"ebellion most effectlvely carried owt by two divergent schools of philosQPhY -the analysts and the existentialists .

Yet the diver ,gencies of these itwo g1roups are not so apparent when i;t is taken into aocount that both grOU/PS have denied and ignored metaphysics~the very he.art o.f philosophy .

The analytic philosophers discard the basic questions that metaphysics asks by a sserting tha t all difficulties concerning these questions are simply diffkuloties of language.

Clear, straight thinking', they contend, will eventually iresolve supposed me.taphysical questions by asserting the ab surdity and unintelli,gibility of man's universe. Man is :pavt of the il'!l'ational ,absurdilty that is being; as such, any rainterrogation is tional answer to metaphysical impossible.

As Time rpoints out , both schools have developed into somewhat confused "camps" in which they fail to understand each other. It also appears that they are unable to understand colleagues within their own schools.

Time hints at the movement away from !Philosophy in which "the professionals are the ones who know the least about it ." The underlying, perhaps slow moving, trend is toward a reasking of the basic questions ,that metcllPihysics concerns itself with : causation, God , mind, imm~rtalit y, freedom .

Contemporary tihilosophers are metaphysically waking up. David Wiggins of Ox.ford has said that they are beginning to see that the traditional way of stating the p;roblem "wasn't afiter ,all in quite a mess as had been r~cently su;pposed ."

The trend is gradual and the awakening will be slow; nevertheless, the feeling is in the air.

CONGRATULATIONS!

God IsDead

By SUSAN QUINN artist of the twentieth century attempts to portray a tragic vision of life , he must do so in a universe in which God is dead-in a God-abandoned world.

Modern tragedy, according to these existentialist standards, gives us life not with moral or spiritual values, but rather only characters suffering in an unjustified and meaningless world .

Jo •b could look to God to find justice in his suffering, while men like Camus and Sartre can look only to their own values to find justice in their suffering .

The tragic hero, in other words, can really do nothing about his condition. Yet the tragedy is pres ented in the struggle against his situation -a struggle for order in an unordered universe.

We search for his greatness in this attempt to ward off "evil " and death, death being the only reality of w.hich man is certain and from which he cannot escape."

Albert Camus is one of the leading writers of the twentieth century who attemptrto .-show us how man can CODewith an existence which holds no ultimate meaning. His protagonist lives solely in the moment, and for the satisfaction of his momentary desires. Nothin2 else holds any real meanin&'. __ Meur sault, the main -character of Camus' The Stranger, says of hiimself "I have never been able really to regret anithing in all my life . I've always been far too much absorbed in the present moment, or the immediate future, to think back ."

The "struggle" of iMeurault comes in his attempt to live and enjoy the moment, and to ward off death-his only enemy.

He contains but one characteristic which prevent s him from attaining a truly tr;igic quality-his vast indifference. 'Meursault is indiff erent to all life around him; by the end of the book he is indifferent to his own existence .

This trait prevents him from revolting against his situation.

Just ll$ his life is meaningless to himself so to °ihe do all his action1. become ~eaningless reader. As a result, we can find nothin&' tragic in either the murder he commits or the punishment be receives for it.

Before Meursault fired the fatal gun sho.ts he tried mentally to decide on the impact which his deed might have. Finally he concluded, "It crossed my mind that one might fire, or not fire-and it would come to absolutely the same thing."

At the close of the book, immediately bef0re his death, Meursaul,t reflects, "Nothing, nothing had the least importance, and I knew quite well why . . . what difference could they make to me, the deaths of others, or, a mother's love, or his God . . .. all alike would be condemned to die one day.''

Nothing- has mattered to Meursault throughout his entire life except to live the moment, and by his death not even that. Death had to come sometime - what difference when.

Camus has given his characters no capacity for revolt and consequently made him incapable of fulfilling the twentieth century vision of tragedy.

The universe to Meursault has been wholly mechanical and indifferent. He has been an absurd character living an absurb existence able to affirm only one reality-death-and then not even that, maybe.

Her mispronunciation of my name took me off my guard for a moment . What did it mean?

Was the facetious cunning of the senior mind at work in its normal devious way? W,as this a subtle criticism of my teaching method? Or was it merely an unfortunate consequence Of her, perhaps, congenital speech defect?

Sports Review Boasts Coach Lynam Interview

By MARIA COURTNEY and SUSAN DURLING In the past rew months the fans of St. Joseph's, Villanova, and LaSalle have been ,through a 9timula>ting and tUJI'bulent basketball season. They have witnessed games that have reached the wild extremes of triu~h and ,tragedy.

On Wednesday and Saturday nights 9,211 of them assembled in a state of screaming hysteria in the grea.t madhouse known as the Palestra. The season is almost over now, and ;the basketball courts will soon be vacant; but if you go back into the empty Palestra you will still be able to hear the undying echo of their cheering.

A Saint Joe's rootsr associates with <this echo the cheering from a steady stream of vic.tories. Behind their coach, Dr. Jack Ramsey, the Hawks have given their fans reasons for ciheering by retaining national rank in the top ten each ,week. The cheering was thunderous during the three vie-

tories which captured for them the Quaker City Tournament Championship.

On the final night of the tourney, Matty Gouk.as ireceived itJhe Most Valuable P'layer Award.

Out on the court one can see how the game seems to revolve around Ma.tty. In speaking with Mr. James Lynam, Athletic Director and Freshman Basketball Coach at Saint Joe's, about Matty's role in the game, he said, "The team does look up ,to Matty a little . . . no, they look up to him a lot."

In the Boston C'ollege game Billy Oakes made a career record of 1,000 ;poinits. About this record Mr. Lynam said, "It is not a hard record to break if you are a starter in your sophomore year and average atbout 13-14 i!)Oints a ,game. Billy didn't sta-rt then, so this was an acfor hirrn." co~lishment For Villanova the echo of the Palestra has been of a season hampered by the loss of most of las,t year's top lettermen except

for Bill Mekhioni and Bernie Schaffer.

Coached by Jack K.raf.t, ,the Wildcats suffered their keenest disappointment in the VillanovaSt. .Joe's ·game. Villanova's unexpected surge to near-victory brought out untold emotions in the :fans who jammed every corner of thhe Palestra. These emotions were !heightened when Saint Joe's substitute, Steve Donches, scored the winning two points bringing victory for the Hawks in the finaJ seconds of the game.

One of ithe best moments for the Villanova fans this year came the night that Billy Melchioni broke this year's high scoring record at the Palestra.

He scored 44 points against Saint Bonaventure.

LaSalle's major contribution to ;the echo of the Palestra lhas been ,that of thei-r very persevering cheering, Joe Heyer's Explorers have suffered their defeats mainly in overtime or by slim margins of one or two !I)Oints. The eXJplorers never gave UJP:though, and neither did their fans.

When they defeated previously unbeaten Brigham Young in the Quaker City Tournament 71-69, the crowd was ecstatic. February ihas become a winning month for :them in their triumph over Geittysburg. Here Hubie Marshall reached a season total of 500 points, becoming the second junior to have done so at LaSalle.

It is hard ,to describe what a basketball fan feels and why he will .go completely ,orazy art; a giame. The February issue of the Philadelphia magazine suanmed up rt;his metamoi-phis in their article, "Basketball Fever." They said, "Most Philadelphia college kids are normal in every way.
