VIATOR ENROLLMENT SETS NEW RECORD Debate Mgr. Starts Work On Schedule For Season Illinois Intercollegiate Debate League Would Honor Viator Representative at Conference In Chicago; Squad Call Soon. The Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, C. S. V., the Rev. John Stafford, C. S. V., and Stephen G<luld, '36, represented St. Viator at the meeting of the Dlinois Inte rcollegiate Debate League and the Mid-Wes tern Debate Conference in Chicago last week. The standard question to be used by both organizations this year reads: "Resolved: That congress should be em.powered to over-ride by two-thirds vote, decisions of the Supreme Court that declare acts of congress uncon stitutional." Gould, who is debate manager, was able to schedule 22 debates, both radio and platform, and the opponents w ill include su ch schools as Cl;Ucag o University, Knox College, DePaul University, ill. Wesleyan University, Loyola University, DeKalb Stat e Teachers' College, Wheaton College, etc. These 22 deb ates, however, do not comprise a completed schedule. Last year Viator m et 65 opponents on the forensic platform, and this y ear will p roba bly not include less debates.

The larges t number of students eve r to attend St. Viator College in the 68 years of its history has enrolled this semester. To date the increase is 25 p er cent ove r that of last year.

The old oak sectional bookcases in the R eading Room have been discarded, and new, modern wall cases built. Th ey are finish ed in oak and provide relief for crowded shelves in the Stack Room. Books on open shelves are now easily accessible and await th e pleasure of th e stud ent-a. They nei t her u r ge, nor call, nor press their and claims. They wait silently patiently, inviting pe rusal. Five new pieces of statuary add an impressive atmosphere to th e room. In the presence of such eminent men as Homer, Vigil, Dante, Shakespeare and Milton one can easily be led away from the tumu lt of th e day into a worl d of dreams, for they have given deams to m en, and a bit of tranquillity in moments of unrest and depression.
THE COLLEGE CLUB Th e new presid ent of th e Co ll ege Club faces a responsibility thi s year which no one enu t ries to minimi ze. Not only will his admin istration be criticized seYerely by cer ta in campus factions, but the ex istence of th e Coll ege Club istelf is dangerously th r eatend. During th e past (\YO years. serious obser n rs have watched the organ izat ion slowly degrade, until the partizan heat of t he last election seemed litt le sho rt of a farc e. Th e campaign was much like two runners chasin g a f leeting shadow. The causes for the decline and failure of the club we sha ll not attempt to enumerat e. But the fact must be recognized t hat the College Club no longer exists as was ori gin ally intended and as is stipulated in the constitution. It lacks enthusiasm. It lacks concer ted act ion . It lacks teeth. H ere, then , li es the first task for the new pr esident. H e must gain back the old resp ectabihty ! H e

Students Fin<f Both Instructors and Department Heads Changed as New Terms Opens The new members of the College·~ faculty tbis year have already absorbed and become a part of that spirit of informality and helpfulness which distinguishes Viator teachers. They bring to their pedagogical work a wealth of experience and scholastic achievement. Dr. William J . O'Donnell, who solves the profound and intricate mysteries of higher mathematics, graduated from Coopers Union Institute of Technology in New York with a B. S. in .C. E., cum laude, degree. He earned his M. C. E. at Cornell University and a Ph. D. degree at the Catholic University of America. Dr. William C. Van Deventer, new head of the D epartment of Biology, first wrote A. B. after his name when h e graduated from Central College, Fiette, Mo. He attended the University of lllinois for four years, where he received a Ph. D. degree and where he filled the position of Assistant in the Department of Zoology. Dr. Van Devanter comes to Viator from Honaye Falls, N. Y ., at which place he has b een in the government service. The Rev. Manual P. Loughran, C. S. V., brings to Viator a departraent it has long needed- Music. He earned his M. A. degree at the Catholic University of America, and has since then taken work at the School of Piu s X tn New York City, where he specialized in Gregorian Chant. He has been stationed for several years in Springfield, Ill. Prof. Eugene Donnelly began collegiate work at DeKalb University, a long-standing rival of Viator in Little 19 competition. After two years h e transferred to t he University of Chicago, and in 1926 graduated with a Ph. B. in t he School of Comme rce Administration. The following semester he began the s tudy of law at Harvard, and last year he earned the Bachelor of Law degree at K ent College of Law 1n Chicago. Prof. Wallace P .

Ann Arbor, Mich., (ACP)-Work, for the night is fleeting, and you won't be this young forever. That would seem to be the lesson to be learned from the "achievement batting average" recently computed by Dr. Harvey C. Lehman of Ohio University, a compilation which shows that the most important work in science and literature is done by men in their early youth. Outstanding achievements in chemistry, physics, short-story writing and other fields of creative work were used by Dr. Lehman as basis for his " batting average" . He counted each year of life a s one time at bat, with each inmportant contribution a "hit". Thirty-five is the big year for production, Dr. Lehman found, although Important "hits were registered by men as young as 18 and as old as 69. Astronomers don't run true to form, howev er. They reach their most productive y ears b etween 40 and 44. Chemists reached their highest batting average between the ages of 27 and 39, physicists were tops b etween 30 and 34, and masterminds in mathematics between 28 and 38. If you're a short-story write r, you'd better b e g ood after your 30th birthday and before your 34th, or you may never g et anyplace, and if you lean towa rd poetry, yo\}. may expect to be at your bes t between 22 and 35. Dr. L ehman points toward Inventor Thomas Alva Edison as a prime example. Between the ages of 33 and 36 Edison took out a tota l of 312 patents, more than a fourth of all those he r eceived during his life time. - - - - -- - - -- - -- - -
