Cardinal, President of St. Viator College, attended the thirty-second conven tion of the National Catholic Education Assoc iation whic h w a s held at th e H otel Stevens in Chicago April 24 and 25. More than 2000 Catholic educato r s and dignitaries took part in the discus sion of tho existing problems that confront the college of today. Father Cardinal spoke on a s ub ject dealing with th e Catholic part in college education w hi ch was jntroduced as a general topic for discussjon. Thomas F. Woodlock, economis t end former member of the Inter s tate Commerce Commission, presented a very interesting and instruc tiv e speech titled "Mind of th e Church and The Great Insolvency". The convention was brought to a close by a banque t which all th e members a ttended In the ballroom of th e hoteL
A short but important chapter in the Annals of Viatorian History was written last week when the Athletic Association decided in favor of changing the athletic colors of the school from the traditional Purple and Gold to Green and White. Th e scholastic colors will remain Pu:::-pie and Gold.

Her hand ls s ought by two men , Maurice and Pierre. Maurice, played by Jack Cronin, '35, sees her as the acme or perfection. Pierre, played by Edward Buttgen, '37, in keepin_g' with an egotistical and haugh ty character, constantly points out her faults. In the end the lady's choice reveaJs the way to a Woman's H eart. The play is filled wi t h keen and subtle humor. As we go t o press, over half of the seats have been sold , and all indications point to a fu ll hou se on Tuesday night.
