and among the day students. Brother Carson tells us that any students who are interested' in music and who would like to Jearn how to play some instrument, should contact him as soon as possible. He wishes to organize t wo\ bands--one co~posed of the beginners, who will act as "feeders" to the · first . band. As there is quite a shortage of instruments, we kindly ask our readers to inform us if any used in.struments are available. Any kind of an instrument, be it 'D.ew or old, will be we~come. St. Viator College has had successful bands in the past -years, and with the enthusiasm that is sweeping the campus at the present time, it

a ims and how they are to be attained, was explained by Father Cr acknell at the Holy Name meeting last Monday night. Chicago lnterStudent Catholic Action is an organization of the sttudents of our Catholic colleges and high schools of the Chicago area, whose aim ls to fos ter Catholic ideals and be of mutual assistance in the development of r eligious organizations especially. As a clearing house for the solution of the modern problems of our young people and a laboratory of Catholic A ction CISCA has grown marvelously since its foundation in 1932 by F!'ther Joseph Reiner, S . J., at Loyola University, Chicago. That squaring all activities with the principles of Christ is very much needed at the present time, all admit ; and this ls the aim of CIS· CA. Plan Study Club The Viator Chapter of CISCA met Tuesday night and plans for tqe coming year were proposed by the moderator. Father Cracknell pointed out that there 1s room here at the c'o llege for a Discuss10n Club wherein the problems of the day may be studied in the light of the Papal Eucyclicals. Building up a positive rather than a negative program should be beneficial to our students both at this time and after leaving college. The motto for all discussion is the famous trilogy: In certis unitas. In dubilis libertas. In omnibus caritas. As in former years, if circumstances permit a play will be staged during the ' second semester. To weigh rthings right, we need the scales .of the sanctuary, and these will be found by all true

In printing this, the VIATORIAN i s continulng its policy of presenting both sides of every cont r over sial topic.) In the beginning this discussion of the r ecen tly inaugurated ilisctplina ry changes I cannot emphasize too strongly that this comment is not motivated by any desire to direct unfavorable attention to those responsible for these changes in ques tion. Nor is it m spiz:ed by a cheap theatrical impulse >o b eget the shal· low praise of those. who would accept condemnations of an unpleasant situation as valid argument. Rather the object of this article is to in· quire in a sincere desire for truth the r easons which motivated so dras tic a curtailment of sophomore liberties. I fail to comprehend how a question of this type can be solved by erudite gleanings into the philosophical implications of the term ~' liberty", and I Hbelieve we must meet the problem as it exists, not speculating on what it might or should be. Dispassionately considered, these neW'" regulations mean that the present sophomore class will lose about eighty-six per cent of the liberties wihch upperclassmen now receive, and which we as second semester freshmen enjoyed last year. Upon this extreme abridgement of privileges r ests the crux of the problem. What were the 'reasons that promoted the authorities to so drastic a st ep?

ftn&lly I made It a point of going to Mass with them on the morning or a game. I re&ll.zed that It appeared more or less incongruous, when we arrived In town !or a game, for the general public to see my boys rushing off to church as soon as they got off the tr&ln, while their coach rode to the hotel and took hls ease. So for the sake of appearances, ll nothing else, I made it a point to go to church with the boys on the morning of a game. "One night before a big game In the East, I was nervous and worried about the outcome of the game the next day and was unable to sleep. I tossed and rolled about the bed and finally decided that I'd get up and dress, then go down to the lobby and sit In a ch&lr &lone with my thoughts. It must have been 2 or 3 o'clock In the morning when I arrived In the deserted lobby, so I took a chair and tried to get that football game off my mind by 01).· gaging some bellboy In conversation. Along about 5 or 6 o'clock In the morning I started pacing the lobby of the hotel, when suddenly I ran Into two of my own players hurrying out. I asked them where they were going at such an hour, &!though I had a good idea. Then I ret ir ed to a chair in the corner of the lobby where I couldn't be seen, but wher e I could see everyone
of the aquaa hurried out ot an elevator and mad.e for the door. 1 s topped them and asked them tt they too, were lOin&' to :Mass &Dd they replied that they were. 1 decided to go a.fonl' with them.

Critique (Continued from Page Two)
-::-::=•
Without being prompteu by any of the baser motives to which our nature is prey may I begin this unwholesome session by relating a story that may have a moral. It seems that a certain sophomore decided on the night of the recent social to attend and give the feminine hearts of Kankakee and s undry places an added palpitation, which, I mlght add, was to be painlessly administered in the form of his Terpsichorean grace and charm. Now, last year, Mr. L. was one of those (un)fortunate beings that can be classl!led as lucky in cards, and unlucky in love. Freshman year's feminine object of his affections spurned him to attend a plumbers' ball with one of the local Ichabods engaged in the retail beer trade, and, who, apparently, gave more promise of being able to provide automobiles, f urniture, and similar bric-a-brac that unfortunately are never detached from female considerations. My first point for consideration is that this same sophomore received from his fellow commlserators the consoling appellative of "Lonely Lochinvar''. This may have been motivated by the fact that the young man's mlddie initial is "L", but carefully remember that none of the students mentioned knew the middle name. Net results of freshman year for Mr. L. were broken ideals, spurned love, and the added chance that he mlght leave the world and become a monk or an artie explorer. .i'i..lld then came the night of the social. Here I mlght caution the readers to follow attentively as here begins a narrative of possible significance to them. Shortly after entering the dance our hero's attention was attracted by the fragrant scent of a perfume that, by way of passing, may be purchased at any of the local 'emporiums under the romance inspiring trade-name of " L' Amour Toujours." To save the reader unnecessary details I mlght state her e that the young lady from whose person the fragrant scent of "L'Am· our Tourjours" was emanating was none othir than our sophomore's old heart-patty. Again des iring to avoid unnecessary details, it will suffice to say that before " So Rare" was played ten times (or as quick as you could say "abracadabra") Mr. L. was again stricken with the pleasant pangs of a ressurected romance. Now here comes the tragic part. In the course of whispering in her ear those pleasant falsehoods which are deemed appropriate for such occasions, , our chum proceeded to inform the young lady that her presence had transformed the Commons Building into an en· chanted garden, laden with fragrant dew and twinkling stars. Not to be outdone, the Miss naively assured our hero that his rival for her affections had hastily left Kankakee followed by choice epithets and a flock of empty beer bottles flung by his erstwhile employer. Feeling himself secure Mr. L. now proceeded to elaborate on his melancholy at being separated from h er and by chance mentioned the fact that he had been dubbed "Lonely Locbinvar" by dutl!ul companIons. Curious, the young lady discovered his middle initial was "L" and, "terrible dictu", painfully extracted the carefully guarded secret. To his extreme disconcertment her eyes tilled with terror and she pressREMEMBER

ed a petite hand to her mouth to suppress a shrill "eek". The events following are not of sufficient in· terest to insert here, so may I pre· sent a final picture of our hero standing on the Commons steps, watching a pair of trimly tapered ankles disappearing in the gloom, and tragically demonstrating a Ia Carton, "It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done before; etc." Yes, gentle reader, his mlddie name Is Lucl!er. Last night I held a little hand, So dainty and so neat, I thought my heart would surely burst, So wildly did It beat; No other hand that I held so tight, Could greater happiness bring, Than the hand I held last night'Twas four aces and a king.

Capt. Walsh(Continued from Page Three) sent can forget the Wheaton game when Viator was traillng, deep into the closing minutes when Bill entered the game. Before the final gun went off Bill had scored 15 points and turned defeat into vic· tory. "Cheese" does not · llmlt himself to athletics. For three consecutive years his name has appeared on the honor roll, and It can be safely ventured that It will appear there aga¢ this year. Bill's popularity can be attested to by the fact that he was chosen president of the LeClrcle Francis club and vice-president of the Holy Name Society. At the present time Bill is the victim of an injured lmee, the seriousness of which is not known, so we must sit by, cross our fingers, and hope the injury jinx hasn't caught up with our valiant leader. I see the girls in the village are sprucing up a bit since Barbantry returned.

validity of the application of such answers to the question. Concerning the first answer, Is it not logleal to inquire into the strange metamorphosis t hat must occur In college students during the summer vacation between sophomore and junior years. For I! second year students are considered of insufficient mental stablli ty to be granted more than four nights of Uberty a month, then certainly we may expect a great change in ourselves this summer, as next year we shall be deemed mentally and temperamenta.ily able to use twenty-six nights a month as liberties granted to junior and senior students. I feel that the sophomore class should be properly informed of the nature of this metamorphosis which apparently will fructify this summer, and which will lend us over six times the stability we now possess. But should the distinction between the relative capabilities of sophomores and upperclassmen not be as pronounced as this deduction would lead one to believe, is it injudicious to seek at least eight nights a month for sophomores? Such a rule would tend to create a better attitude on the sophomore part, acting to allay the unpleasantness caused by the new rules. The second answer regarding studies may be answcre<l In part by the same general argument. Does this metamorphosis confer ~are and distinctive mental powers upon upperclassmen, enabling them to have twenty-two more nights a month than their sopnomon. nrethren and yet permitting them to fulfill their academlc duties? Or is It that the College is more interosted in the academlc progress of sophomore students, while tending to neglect upperclassmen? Obviously the answer to both questions Is "no". If, such rules are established to insure that sophomore students will study, it seems to admit a certain defeat of college alms. If certain men in college think study is unnecessary, then college is not the place for them.I do not find myself exaggerating when I say that the majority of college sophomores regard studies quite seriously, and the negligible minority who do not can move into other pastures more to their liking. The conclusion that one reaches from these observations Is that a careful and immediate consideration of the question should be undertaken by the admlnlstration. Or have I erred in reaching this conclusion? -Daniel Ward. --The Viatorian, Dear Editor: The absence of the day-students from college activities such as the College club and tb.e class meetings is an evil that could be remedied. They are being deprived of half of their college life by not participating in the affairs of the college. In
I
PAGE FIVE most cases the fault seems to lie else where than at their door. The last club meeting was called for eight o'clock. Now that Is a very inconvenient hour for day students. Why not hold It at a time when they can attend? Last year the college had an enrollment of 45 day students. This year there are only 80 enrolled. Out of the 45 last year, 12 graduated which leaves one to think that we would start with at least 30 but lnst86d 30 Is the entire enrollment. There must be some reason for the drop in the number of day students. It may be becauso th ey felt that they were being left out of the real college life. I may be wrong in thinking that they are being left out in favor of the boys that live on the campus. It may be due to the indifference on their part, but I don't think so. They would be glad to share in the college activities I! only given a chance. So why not at the next big meeting, whether it be a college club meeting or a class meeting, fix the time so they can get in on it. Yours truly, ThOS. R. Ashe, '40. (Editor's Note-This Is the opin· ion of one of the resident students of the college. We are particularly anxious to hear what the day students have to aay on the subject.)

Life of St. Viator October 21, is the day on which w e celebrate the feast of St. Via tor, the founder of the Clerics of Saint Viator. That is the date on which this great Saint left this "vale of tear s'' and was born in the heavenly paradise. He was born in Lyons about ..the year 360. and attended th e elementary school there. Ve ry little is known about his early youth, but of his piety as a child and of his perfec t sanctity as a youth there is, however not the least shadow of a doubt. Adon, the ch ronicler and Martyrologis t whom Surius and the
Bolllmdists have closely
ures, and the ardor and enthusiasm with which he taught Christian doctrine to children. These two salien t characteristics soon won the admiration of the entire city. The ve ry name which was given to our saint in his infancy seemed prophetic of the manner in which he was to sanctify himself. The Latin word "Viator" means traveler, and the after events of his life prove how wonderfully Viator fulfilled all the meaning of his name, for he, in fact, became a traveler when he left Lyons and went to Egypt wi th Saint Just, wh ose extraordinary vir-

It is th e merest sketch, but one which shows clearly and distinctly the naturally amiable grace of youth enhanced by the supernatural beaut y of sanctity. He was fllso not ed for the zeal with which he studied the Sacred Scrp1t-
I n order the more effectively to bring out of the obscurity and silen ce of the ages this humble Viator and to make him shine forth in the bright effulgence of the virtues which, like sparkling gems, adorned him in real life, it will be helpful, t.r not necessary, that we strive for ourselves a picture of him as the model Lector. The contemplation of this exemplar, Viator the Perfect Lector, can bUt bring out more clear-
ty and distinctly the beautiful traits of his Levite holiness and, in consequence, increase our admiration of his spiritual beauty and revive . in
