IKs Produce NewSU Directory

During a very successfulFreshman Week, the IK's, inconjunction with the SilverScroll, handled the sale ofbeanies, and tickets to theFrosh Mixer. The dance wasa huge success, due to the el-forts of these organizationsand to the wholehearted sup-port given them by the stu-dent body.

The nextbigactivity of theKnights was the printing andsubsequentsale of 1,500 copiesof a booklet entitled "Who'sWho at SU." In this bookletare found small articles oneach recognized club in theschool, explaining its purposeandmembershiprequirements.Also included are separate di-rectories of students and fac-ulty, giving their names, ad-dresses and phone numbers,aswell as the home townsof thestudents. The book is of useto all students, Freshmen toSeniors, because it puts attheir fingertips much sought-after information. A few cop-ies are still on hand and areon sale for 25c at the boothin the main hall of the LABuilding."7

The Rev. James Keller,M.M.

Father James Keller, M.M., noted Maryknoll missionerand author, will lecture under the auspices of the newlyformed Seattle University Women's Club,at the Eagles Audi-torium on Oct. 16.

The author of the famousbook, "You Can Change theWorld," FatherKeller is world-famous for the instituting,some four years ago, of theChristophers Movement. Heis a tall,quiet, "no-nonsense"man, resembling, in fact, hisgood friend, Spencer Tracy.He began his movement in1944 as a combative measureto some Communist methodschools which were being es-tablished in the East, usinghis book asa handbook for theorganization.

The Christophers have nodues, no membership lists, nomeetings; they work entirelyfrom the principle that theindividual,as such,canactual-ly "change the world." Seeingthe tremendous strides beingmade by the Communiststhrough individual members'striving, he thought to coun-teract, somewhat, this move-ment toward evil by individ-uals, to a movement towardgood by individuals.

The results were amazing.The Christophers, originatingin New York, swept through-out the nation. UsingFather'sbook as a guide,people all overthe United States are doingsomethingpositive. Acceptingand understanding the evilsthat the Communist system

This good work does notconsist of giving 50 cents tothe poor each Sunday, or sug-gesting the raining of atomicbombs upon an ideal but,rather, consists in alleviatingany conditions within our na-tion that might give cause tothe rise of such an ideology.Working for the improvementof labor unions, political set-ups, and the like are becomingneopled more and more byChristophers. Charitable in-stitutions are being aided bythem, seeking to do awaywiththe squalid environment whichis so often a breeding groundfor Red doctrine. Racial rela-tions, too, have become theobject of intense Christopheractivity.

Father Keller is the first ofa series of lecturers beingsponsored by the SU Women'sGuild. This is his second ap-pearance in Seattle and it isexpected to be well attended.

Course OfferedIn CommunismAt Night School

Seattle University

Something new in the cur-riculum of a Catholic uni-versity is beingoffered at theSeattle University EveningSchool Adult Education series— a course on "Communism."

Officials of the Universitypointed out the necessity forsuch a course. SU PresidentA. A. Lemieux,S.J., who willconduct two of the lectures,said:

"Communism is the topic ofthe hour. Seattle Universityhopes to present a study ofthe subject so that in theNorthwest, which is perhapscloser to the problem thanother sectors of America, themeaning' of the word

—Com-

munism— will become clear-cut. Our course will analyzeCommunism from the philo-sophical, historical, sociologi-cal, and economic aspects.Professors in each of thesefields will present lectures ex-plaining the reasons for theCommunist idea as it existstoday in the US, Europe, andbehind the IronCurtain."

TUESDAY P.M.

By MARY KENDRICK"Ramshackle Inn." Best wishes to thehappy couple.. ..

But there's one gal who's REALLYback, still fully equipped with her inimi-table humor — Mary Ellen Jensen. Wewere discussing the life of a waitressin a Far North fish cannery when"Yoyo" burst into song: "Salmon's inthe kitchen with.. ." She should haveso much gill,or something.

Flash! Bob Lucid attends CooleeCamp...asavirtualparagonof strengthand fortitude ...no less!

A sight to behold was that of TomKop running like a taxi to an airport,en route to the Frosh meeting lastWednesday. Disaster reigned as hecrashed headlong into a pal, one whoseemed a trifle querulous as to why aformer SU student was headed "there."Quick on the quip as usual, Tom replied,"ButIdidn't go last year"...and con-tinued on undaunted. (No criterion ofSU mental activity, I'm sure.)

Frosh Glimpses:...Hank Eliot witha most rakishly tilted beanie . .. Bar-bara Dorman takingup housekeeping inthe Frosh stocks. .. . Eileen Wagnerspendinghours openingastrange locker,only to report the presence of two sen-iors inside playing canasta....MadelynKosko so thrilled over being taken fora senior. .. .

Kirb Pain insist-ing that this school stuff is no strainon him, he's had .'l7 years' experience!

We stood by the treasurer's office.As they left the window we, withaprac-ticed suaveness, tried to engage themin sparklingconversation. Itdidn't work.

We admit that we too were taken inby this sleight-of-hand for some time.We too thought these people harmlessfolk, capable of doing no intentionalwrong. Smugly we mocked their usefultoil. We knew it all. So it was with acondescending attitude that we set outto circulate among these beings and un-cover their habits. We should like togo down on record, as of now, to testifythat it would be easier and considerablysafer to investigatethe habits and prac-tices of the larger varietyof the Borneoorangoutang than to venture into the«company of this diabolical group.

The time has come for the explosionof a myth. A fable which is extremelypopular, and yet is not backed up by(i single grain of truth. From the be-ginning of higher education in theUnited States there has existed the be-lief,utterly baseless, that first-year stu-dents (known as "freshmen") are in-experienced, perplexed moppets, whosesole function in the scheme of thingsis to peer myopically from under thebrim of a greenhat and ask inane ques-tions. Now this may come as a shockto you, so brace yourselves. .. It's alla trick! A sham, thought up by thetwisted mind of a first-year student gen-erations ago, and passed secretly fromfather to son down the years!

Are These Our Children? by bob lucid

That initself should have made us wary,but with the devil-may-care attitude ofthe accursed we smiled and accompaniedthem down the hall. "Like a cup of cof-fee?" we asked one of them (blonde,blue eyes, 5 feet 2).

After buying the cup of coffee, twohamburgers, pie a la mode, and donat-ing four of our cigarettes, we decidedthat this particular freshman had reada book. She knew all the answers, andthey were: "No." "Giveme acigarette.""I'm hungry," and "No."

What we didn't know is that when afrosh, the devils, find a gullible inter-viewer like us they, like the brotherhoodof the road, chalk an "X" on his back,indicating easy prey.

In the next two afternoons we werestuck for 12 hamburgers, 17 cups ofcoffee, two whole pies, and at least 75cigarettes. We owed the Cave a fantas-tic amount, of money, and we gloomilyfaced the prospect of mopping floors fora whole week. Not only that, but westill didn't understand. We still- thoughtthem green. We fancied ourselves mere-ly unlucky.

Fortunately we changed our coat thenext day, and tried a new angle. Wewould visit them at their homes andquery them.

Now if there is one thing in whichwe pride oux'selves it is the ability tomanipulate the old pasteboards —

so wesat in for a few hands while inter-viewing.

Going that evening to the home ofa singularly meek-looking young man,a first-year student, we discovered thathe had some other of his friends withhim. We shall never know if this wasplanned or not. We were asked, withstrange politeness, into the recreationroom. It seems a small card game wasin progress.

Thememory is too fresh and painfulfor repeating. Let it be sufficient tosay that we are now in the debt of noless than seven of those fiends, and thatwe no longer possess our one cashmere,our checkered sport jacket,and our self-respect.

It was at this point that we becamesuspicious.

Going to our editor, a fine man witha heart of groundglass, we appealed tobe removed from our assignment. Thereare 32 stone stairs leading up to theSPECTATOR office.

At the foot of the stairs, we re-arranged our scrambled anatomy andset out for one more try. Stepping wari-ly down the hall, keeping one hand onour wallet and one on our watch, welooked for a likelysubject. For two dayswe traveled the by-ways of the campussearching for a harmless victim. Ourdeadline was a dayoverdue and we weredesperate... then we saw him. He worea greenhat and looked positively miser-able. Not to be deceived, we closelyscrutinized him, searchingfor any signof danger. He was incredibly small,near-sighted, and had one arm in asling. It looked safe.

As we approached him, his eyes litup. Without a wordhehanded us a note,reached into our pocket, removing ournotebook and new fountain pen, andsneeringly motioned us to follow. Thenote was from Soft-Hearted John, oureditor. It was anotice of demotion. Wewere henceforth to assist this "LittleJesse James" in the editing of his owncolumn, "Frosh Confusion."

eers informed each other with urbanesavagery that the other knew absolutelynothing of what he was talking about.The Engineers brought hammers totheir first meeting with wild delusionsof cracking atoms, and the PhilosophyClub spent their inaugurationby sittingaround, Yogi-fashion, and thinking.

One wonders what the thoughts ofthe professors are, as they address aclass for the first time. "This is a courseinMedievalHistory (Heavens!They getcrumbier every year.) The text is 'Lifein the Medieval Times,'by Smith (Thosebeanies are maddening). You will beresponsible for the entire book, and aterm paper is obligatory (They look asifIwere passing a death sentence onthem) and...a... er ... (GoodLord,Ican't stand it!) class dismissed."

The peak of Freshman Week was ofcourse reached with the annual FroshMixer. Fresh from their high schoolsocials where they crawled around thefloor in their dirty cords and skirts andsweaters, they stood around dumbfound-ed, watching their college brethren me-thodically performing square turns,two-steps, looking for all the world likethey were fresh out of Arthur Murray'sdunce class. One disgruntled youngfrosh was overheard saying to his equal-ly disgusted companion, "Gee, look howthem creeps dance!"

Then of course when it became lateenough to enter without paying theywatched incomplete dismay as the rau-cous members of the cafe societyswarmed into the hall like a plague,lampshades on their heads, a glazedstare in their eyes, and hurled them-selves into some fantastic gyration thatresembled a cross between a Charlestonand the mating dance of a ptarmigan.

So at last the fateful week endedand the bewildered Frosh adapted them-selves to the routine andbecame staunchsupporters of the ASSU.

DigressionsSomewhat similar to the gala open-

ing of Ringling Brothers, the dear oldAlma Mater once again threw open itsportals to the descending horde of Fallentrants. Tired seniors,phlegmatic jun-iors, sapient sophomores, and green-cladfreshmen swarmed about the campus,creating utter chaos. One constantlyheard the stock questions, "Where'sRoom 502?" "What's the Shat?" "Who'sthe Pre-Major moderator?" One eageryoung frosh wrote two sonnets, an ode,and a sketch on Keats before he foundout that he wasn't in Econ 1,after all.One misinformed fellow stood for threedays in what he thought was a bread-line,only to come away with a textbookon "Calculus Made Easy." Some of themore strong in heart strolled into theCave, only to come out gasping for air,and mending the rents in their clothing.

By the fourth day, things quieteddown into mere confusion. New phrasesand juicy bits of recently acquiredknowledge were floating about the halls.The various clubs held their introduc-tory meetings, informing the new stu-dents that they were more than happyto receive them, that they hoped thatthey would become active members, andto bring five dollars initiation fee at thenext gathering. Those with vocal as-pirations sped to Simmons Hall, hastilypenned their signatures to qualificationblanks, and were assigned to the make-up committee. The pseudo-BarrymoresandBernhai-dts recited various worn-outselections, in the fond hope that theycould get the part of the butler in thenext production.

The eager young followers of theancient and honorable profession ofleeching joined their fellow Mendeliansin shakinghands with the decayingoldskeleton.

Shades of the Lincoln-Douglas eracropped out, as the fresh young Gavel-

EDITORIALWell,here weareagain. After spend-

ing what Iam sure was a profitableSummer doing many and varied things,the desire to improve our economic andsocial standings has again gained theupper hand, putting the pursuit ofknowledgein full sway.

All of which brings us to a subjectwhichIam sure will alternately boreanddisgustmost of youbut,for the ben-efit of those who haven't heardit,Imustrepeat. It's an old story, but just tryto stop me.

In addition toall of the many classesone finds cluttering the rooms here-abouts, there is asizable group of organ-izations which fall under the generalheading of extra-curricular activities.They are designed and maintained forthe express purpose of helping the indi-vidual student. By some foul means,however, this purpose has become ob-scured, and the smart, in -the-knowcrowds have consigned the various clubsto an ineffectual mediocrity, so far asthe student bodyasa whole is concerned.

Because they lack the talent,ability,and energy to do anything that isn'tcrammed down their throats by some-one in'authority, they seem to resentthe fact that others HAVE that talent,ability, and energy, coupled with a de-sire to put it to use.

And so, Frosh in particular, don'tadolescents who think they know

the best brands of beer and whiskey anddon't mind telling you about it— don'tlet them push you around. They're notkidding anyone but themselves, andnever will do much more, unfortunately.Get in and join anything you've a mindtc join. You'll have the last laugh.

merely in dryness (or lack of wetness)onthe floor to be swept,or, as it is calledtechnically, "the-floor-to-be-swept." Thesweeper should begin at one end andwork toward the other. Playing bothends against the middle is necessary attimes, but not to be generally recom-mended. For basic dry-floor technique acompetent housewife is as good a modelas any. Observe the manner in whichshe avoids "islands,"eradicates "skimp"and combats "hump" and "settle".

WET FLOORWet floors present their own peculiar

problems and difficulties. While we arefrequently free from "settle," "hump,""skimp" and "jump", pardon me, "isl-ands" play their part and the sweeperhas to contend also with "splash,""streak," and "bow-wave." "Streak," adistant relative to "hump," refers to thestreaks of moisture left in the wake of abroom that has not been freed of excesswater by frequent tapping on the floor.

"Splash" and bow-wave" are similarin effect, different in cause. "Splash"being a spattering of back floor, equip-ment or onlookers, caused by a tooabrupt lowering of the broom onto thewet floor. "Bow-wave" is thesame effectcaused by a too rapid motion of thebroom over the floor. (NOTE: Profes-sional sweepers rarely fall into this er-ror). The "tyro-sweeper" is himselfoftena victim of "bow-wave." How oftenhas the over-eager beginner sweptrapid-ly- toward himself only to find that hisshoes became filled with muddy water.It may occasionally happen that youmay be guilty of spattering equipmentor people through careless "splash" or"bow-waves." The equipment may beeasily cleaned by splashing with a hoseor a bucket of water (so may the peoplefor that matter if they are a little slowon their feet). It was the writer's orig-inal intention to close with a thoroughtreatment on correct form, including"guard mount" (formal and informal)with the broom,and notes on the use ofthe broom as a quarter-staff, sjambok,halberd, or emergency mast for a smallboat,but space islacking.Only twobasicpositions may be included.

(a) Broom Carry: Less dramaticthan the smart, "right-shoulder-broom,"this position involves grasping thebroom by the handle and taking it withyou.

(b) Broom Rest: In which the fullweight of the body is thrown suddenlyon the broom and allowed to remainthere. This is undoubtedly the mostpop-ular of broom positions.

Havingmentioned the major sweeping-problems, namely "Thump," "Skimp,""Island," "Settle," "Streak," "Splash,"and "Bow-Wave," together with a fewsuggestions for avoiding them,Ishalllay down no hard-and-fast rules on theart. Rather Ishall leave you with thishint.Society has no usefor those sweep-

The Are of Sweeping,How strange life is,Ioften think. A

month ago if anyone had told me thatthere was pressingneed for a convenientmanual on the manipulation of thebroomIshould have laughedin his face.Since that timeIhave observed a youngwoman attempting to sweep a largeexpanse of floor with a common push-type broom. It was too ludicrous. A halfhour's painstaking work produced onlya small pile of dust and little change inthe floor's general surface. Scatteredover the surface of the supposedly'swept" floor one saw a veritable archi-pelagoof "islands" (dusty streets whichthe broom had never touched). A dis-tinct line of grime, running along eachof the baseboards (a condition known as"skimp") and any number of "humps"( low oblongpiles made by the dust thatis jarred out of any brooms not soundlythumped at the end of each stroke). Asif to complete this roster of adbomina-tion,a thin coatingof fine dust, "settle",raised by too hasty and forceful broomstrokes had already descended to dimthe luster of those spots which reallyhad been swept clean, and more wascoming down whileIwatched.Iforget exactly what my emotions

were. Pity,a little anger, the fierce con-tempt of the artist for clumsy work, aseries of sneezes from the effects of thedust-laden atmosphere shook my frame.Fora momentIfelt like goingout there,wresting the broom from the youngwoman, and sweeping that floor as it.should be swept.But to what purpose?One floor swept clean, if all over thecontinent badly swept floors were tocontinue as an institution. Too well Iknew that there weresimply not enoughtrained, competent, personnel to sweepthem all.Thesand-duned floors of Texas,the muddy creek-bottomed floors of theDeep South, the dust-heaped floors ofthe Mid West where a leak in the roofmeanta dangerousbog-hole,or a suddendraught might produce a suffocatingdust storm. All these rose in a horridvision whichIswept away with an un-steady hand.

Why must all this continue ? But howto put a stop to it? Suddenly the ideacame!My eyes were wide open. A mis-take as it turned out in that dusty room.Iwas busy wiping my inflamed orbswith a handkerchief for an hour after-wards. At any rate, Iknew preciselywhat to do.Iwent home and took pen,not broom, in hand; my purpose, thewriting of a modest article setting outsound practices of broom technique.Such a work, if it got any circulation atall, might advance the cause of floorcleanliness, if not by the broad jumpahead following the invention of thevacuum cleaner (or the half hop forwardoccasioned by the development of areally satisfactory carpet sweeper) atleast a single stride toward the ultimategoal of all such improvements— ABSO-LUTE DIRT FREENESS!

For greateremphasis and convenienceIhave sub-divided my topic into threemain aspects of the sweeping problem—Wet Floor, Dry Floor and Correct Form.

DRY FLOORThis is the simplest, most commonly

met-with set of conditions, consisting

Pot PourriSo on to days undaunted! Why is

it that the joy of returning to school«md to old. friends must be forever shat-tered by the realization that some of"the group" are no longer with us? 'Tissad indeed to wander the "hallowedhalls" in search of many an old buddy...only to fail— Isay, to fail.

Some merelydrift intooblivion, whileothers stick around to helppush the old"larnin'" place to one of higher repute.And so we find Bettianne Foster Flynndoing her bounding duty in the PublicRelations Department. Guess she andFather Kelly have had quite a week,searching for some ungrateful wretchof a turtle who absconded from theirtender care, but only after he had fullyenjoyed the luxurious ashtray home andtimely repasts sokindly provided by thepair of sorrowful Samaritans. Mean-while, Bettianne's famous husband,Louie Flynn, exists "enslaved" in thebasement ofF.andN....busily "Bissel-ing." Tough to be a carpet-sweeper wid-ow, so I've heard tell.

Many a tear was shed when RitaKrsak, of the center telephone booth,announced her plans to retire to homeand to motherhood.

Columnist MakesModest ProposalTo Sports Critics

By ETAOIN SHRDLUIn an institution the size of

Seattle,University there areall types of people. Unfortun-ately, oftentimes there arenot as many of the right kindas couldbe desired.

We are, at present,runningonly two really major sports.At any time in the Cave onecan listen to discussions proand con on the advisability ofestablishing a third.The usual"pro" argument is that, sincesports are supposed to be forstudent participation and en-joyment,and so many like toengage in the skill-and-scienceart of football, weshouldhavea football team. The thing toremember in a situation ofthis type is that, just as twohands are better than one, sotwoor more football teams arebetter than just one.

Therefore, it would seemreasonable to assume that thetype of football enthusiaststhat we would like to see alotof are the ones, all too rare,that will ORGANIZE thosewho really do wish to partici-pate and form teams.

Thereisnothingwrongwithintramural sporting events;infact, they are in many wayssuperior to league play. Theyallow more (and often timesmore spirited) student compe-tition andare desirable from afinancial standpoint as well.Lookingat it from this pointof view there is a lot to be saidfor the few active and veryskillful footballers who aretrying to organize another in-tramural league.

They want to play, as domanyothers. If you really areone of those who want to seesome football played aroundSU, don't TALK about it, goahead and PLAY it.

Organize your squad, anddo it TODAY!

Murphy, GuppyOn Finance Board

Bill Guppy and Frank Mur-phy have been appointed tothe student financial board.Both have been very active inschool affairs and will be ableguardians of student bodyfunds during the comingyear.

Mrs. Betty RueterHeads Coed Sports

Under the guidanceof a newleader, Mrs. Betty Rueter, U.of W. physical education grad-uate, SU coeds are promised afull quarter of athletic activ-ity.

Mrs. Rueter's program in-cludes morning classes inBad-minton,Volleyball,Basketball,and Swimming. Monday andWednesday will find badmin-ton and volleyball in full swingat9 and11, respectively, whilebasketball takes the limelighton Friday at 11. Swimmingrounds out thesports programwith the YWCA pool the sceneof Friday's 12:30 classes.

Mrs. Rueter especiallystressed her willingness to ar-range other classes for thosewho do not find the times al-ready listed as convenient

—the only requirement beingenthusiasm from a sufficientnumber.

"It makes it somewhat dif-ficult, with the basketballteam having the gym after-noons, as most of the girlshave morningclasses and can'tbe there then," Mrs. Ruetersaid, "but I'm sure somethingcould be arranged.

"T have heard that the fe-male basketball teams drewquite a little local attentionlastyear," she remarked, "andif they want one this year,Iwill help all Ican. Iknow ofseveral women's teams wecould schedule.

"But for the time being wewill just have to wait and seehow many of the women stu-dents show up for the classesoffered, or ask to form teamsin the available sports."

Odd Balls SeekingRecruits in DefenseOf Intramural Title

Last year's local touch football champs, the Odd-Balls,are suspiciously and carefully eyeing the new Seattle Uni-versityites. Is there an Emil Sitkoor Charlie Justice amongstthe ranks? If so, the Odd-Balls want to know, as they will

be out to defend their title inthis year'sIntramural Leagueplay. And although theyboastfully challenge "all com-ers," they fear what the futuremayhold for them as the vari-ous teams take shape.

Lloyd Reed, who has beenappointed by Asst. AthleticsDirector Bill Fenton to offici-ate at all contests, informsthat five teams were repre-sented at Tuesday's intra-mural meeting. He said thatseveralmoresquads are hopedfor and would "make theleague more interesting."

Reed, inhis plea for partici-pants to continue this school'spopular program of intra-mural sports,declared that theschedule will commence onMonday, Oct. 10. Two gameswill be played each day, Mon-

Eiy through Thursday, with"idays being reserved forakeup games. Each squad

will probably play two con-tests each week.

The league will consist ofsix-man teams, with a limitof 12 members to each squad.The rosters are to be turnedin before the schedule begins.

The number of teams or-ganized will determine if asingle or double round-robinschedule will be employed. Ifenough teams enter to makea double round-robin neces-sary, a playoff between the

Kirs of both rounds will2 the championship,nd every guy on thepionship club will receiveward, presented by the:tics Department," Reed1.

Any student wishing toenter a team should submitlis complete roster either toCoach Fenton or to Reed be-fore Monday.

Jack Lynch, Ken Lash-baugh and Joe Faccone will beon hand to assist Reed offici-ate the games and make indi-vidual decisions.

"Oh, me," said the guy, "that'swhat I'd like to do."

All was not quiet along SU'a athletic front as vacationmonths slipped by.

Fastball took over, around commencement time, and keptAlma Mater on the Summer sport pages of the local papers.

Terrific Bob Tester pitched the fastballers to the City Class"A" championship. His record of eight no-nogames tells the taleof a squad that ended fifth in the 144-team Metropolitan tourney,highlighted by the Northwest's outstanding chuckers.

Successful barnstorming trips to Bremerton and points as fardistant as British Columbia brought additional publicity to SU.

Twenty faculty members hustled to the Jefferson fairways inAugust for their first golf tournament.

Bill Fenton outputted Speech Teacher Don Woods for the title.

"In the Good Old Summertime"The Summer found SU athletes active in diverse occupations,

intended to keep them in shape for the coming season.Earl Spangler, Norm Willis, and Carl Ramberg were instructors

at city playfields.Sharpshooter Speidel returned a few pounds heavier as a result

of his construction work, while Bill Higlin put in a hard vacationhandling telegraph poles.

As Frank Ahem squirmed his way inside a Boeing Bomber, BillCheshier was assisting in the distribution of the "Seattle Times."

Bob Hedequist looks as husky as ever, after punching the policedepartment's prize comptometer for three months.

Meanwhile Coach Al (just to keep up appearances) held downfirst base for the Mount Vernon Milkmaids.

Frolicking Frosh Check InThe opening week of the school year has brought the annual crop

of frosh athletes.From New Jersey are four top guard prospects: John and Ed

O'Brien (almost identicaltwins),and theCartier brothers, Jim and Bob.Six-foot three-inch Paul Rainbolt, of Long Beach, Calif., also

checked in for his physical. The small town of Abbotsford, 8.C., hopesto be represented on the team by Bill Wallace.

Add several Washington boys, such as Bob Dolson (Bremerton),Jim Doheny (Sequim), Bill Swehla (Everett), and Hugh Carpenter(Bellingham), to the incomplete roster.

Scoring Specialists Jack Doherty and Oscar Holden, Garfield'sstate tournament standout, are among the local boys who hope toget in on some of the fast Northwest League competition.

Smoke SignalsWith the ski season just around the snow bank, an invitation to

the International Tournament at Banff, Feb. 4-5, has been received.A six-man team may make the trip. ...Orange paint on the basketrims was necessary to comply with a new national collegiate ruling.

Could it be the promising freshman ball players which bring thesly smile to Bill Fenton's face, or is it the sight of his frosh of lastyear performing in fine style during varsity turnouts? ...New Jer-seyite Jack O'Brien was named to the all-staroutfieldduring Wichita'ssemi-pro tourney.... Maybe we're counting our notes before they'replayed, but this year there are definite plans under way for a pepband. ... There are openings for three boys and three girls on theyell team.... Be ready for the turnouts Oct. 20....Potential six-man footballers can get all details from Lloyd Reed in the gym. . ..

Brightman has had two shocks: The sight of Harold Rose withhis foot in a cast, and "Rusty" King's middle (minus 30 pounds)....Kansas City is the goal this year, and the boys aren't keeping it asecret. ...Pre-Season Tip: The ball is going to MOVE —no periodsof stalling, this season.

World Series: Yankees vs. Dodgers —Sound Familiar?

It's the Yankees vs. the Dodgers as the World Series play beginsagain. These two major league clubs are becoming synonymous withthe concept of the World Series games, and no one can ask for a bet-ter show than when these two rivals meet. Remember the 1947 contestswhen the Yanks had to go the full seven contests to win the crown?That was probably the craziest and wildest of all Series.

The veteran Yankees collaborated with the newer membersto win a red-hot race from Boston's Red Sox, while the Brooksfound St. Louis just as hard to outdo.

The Yanks undoubtedly have the better outfield, with Joe Di-Maggio and Tommy Henrich still standouts. And their pitching staffhas shown more class. It would be hard to pick one infieldover theother; both are supported by first-rate shortstops,PeeWee Reese forBrooklyn, and Phil Rizzuto for the American Leaguers. Since theDodger catching staff is the best in baseballthis season,the teams stackup pretty evenly.

15 Seeking Berths in WorkoutsFor Varsity Basketball Squad;Brightman's Prospects Brighter

Although- King Baseball is nearing his apex, the WorldSeries games, and football is gathering more and more inter-est each week throughout the country, basketball claims thespotlight on the SU campus.

Holding two separate turn-out sessions each afternoon,some 15 varsityaspirantshavediligently and seriously begunthe annual battle for starting-positions in preparation forthe long, vigorous seasonahead.

The Chieftains' main weak-ness last season was the lackof high caliber reserves. Thisseason Coach Al Brightman'sjob is greatly facilitated.Withthe exception of John Sollars,all of last year's lettermen areback, along with two promis-ing transfers, several out-standingmembers of last sea-son's Papoose club and one-year veteranRustyKing. Thelack of reserve strength costthe Chiefs more than onecontest during last season'scampaign, but this yearBrightman will have plenty ofcapable substitutes to throwin when the starters falter.

TransfersCarlRombergandFrank Ahem, along with Let-termen Norm Willis, BobHedequist,Elmer Speidel,EarlSpangler,RustyKing,and HalRose, who will not be availablefor some time because of afoot injury; and Bob Feiser,Bill Cheshier and Bill Higlin,up from the Frosh, providekeen competition for the start-ing berths and assure solidreserve strength.

Sideline observers awaitwhat'sexpectedto be a red-hotfight for the starting centerjob. Veteran Letterman EarlSpangler and lanky Sopho-more Bill Higlin, last year'sPapoose ace, will settle theissue in the weeks ahead.

Al Brightman, entering hissecond season as head coach,informs us that he will usevirtually the same offense aslast season— the slow-downtype of game, depending pri-marily on set plays and fancypassing.

"Only this year theboys willbe more free to use their owningenuity, as we have morereserve strength— more depthto work with — which welacked before," the ex-pro staradded.

Being an independent, andhaving no conference title tostrive for, the Chieftains' topconcern is the road trip inwhich they face WashingtonState College and Idaho onsuccessive nights. Thesegames will be thisinstitution'sfirst hoop competition withNorthern Division teams.

Frosh Coach Bill Fenton,anticipating another success-ful season for the Papoosefive, will start running theFreshmen through the pacesnext week.

Wenough!/ THROUGH YOURCOMMUNITY CHEST

This accomplishment (hon-esty demands that it be thustermed)is manifested inmanyways, both inside and outsidethe walls of the campus build-ings. The present article willendeavor to portrayonly thosecordial activities which com-mence within the University,for words alone could not dojustice to those simple butearnest gatherings among thestudents which occur inde-pendently of the school. On-the-spot presence is requiredfor full appreciationof the lat-ter affairs,as any enterprisingstudent who has taken thepains to investigate will havediscovered.

No, 'tis not upon these thatconcern will be bestowed, butrather upon the apparentman-ifestations at the college ofthat element in man's naturewhich craves the mutual en-joyment of common interests;namely, the clubs.

These noble organizations,many in number and all withfinality of purpose uppermostin the mindsof theirmembers,should fill the needs of everystudent. If they do not, letthose who find their peculiartastes unsatisfied organize inbitter despair and thus aug-ment the number of societiesalready present, and the needfor additional bulletin boardspace to post announcements.

As for the existent clubs,they all have big plans, thechief of which seems to be a"meeting next week whereeveryone is welcome."Pep Club New

Among these is the PepClub,a comparatively new or-ganization which has gonethrough a rapidprocessof evo-lution within the last fewweeks. Its goal is increasedschool spirit among the stu-dents, chiefly at athletic func-tions. This will be achievedby the presence at each gameof a select group of "Peppers"whose primary duty it will beto yell vigorously and coordi-

the negative.Monday,Oct. 10,will see the tryouts for theFallplay, "Jenny Kissed Me."Copies of the script are nowin the library, to enable theaspirants to practice the rolewhich they desire.

"No more commercial artwork as n club!" was the em-phatic statement issuedbyArtClub President Peggy Lynn.Instead,names of students in-terested in doing commercialart woi-k on their own will beposted and harassed commit-tee chairmen desiring postersand signs mayconsult this list.The club, itself, will revert toits original purpose: progressin the art of drawing.New Music Club

The expansion of the MusicDepartment this year resultedin the formation of a newmusic society, Mv Sigma. Toadvertise the activities of thedepartment and to performany menial tasks that mayarise in the production of anymusical affair will be the func-tion of this group. Member-ship is limited to 15 membersvoted in through the society.

Requests for statementsfrom the Mendel Club, Com-merce Club,and Colhecon Cluball brought forth, "Electionspending!Meetingsoon!Watchboard for announcement!"

The Scots Club, for out-of-towners, is already active,with dances scheduled forevery other Sunday in BuhrHall, and the Engineers Clubinforms that it will continueto sponsor speakers from suchorganizations as General Elec-tric and DuPont for the great-er edification of all engineers.

The concluding thought to

nately the wordsof the cheers.The club will soon place a sug-gestion box in the main hallof the LA Buildingand all ad-vice from the students will begratefully accepted. Enthusi-asm is required for member-ship.

Another lively little organi-zationis theGavel Club, whosemembers are also required toyell vigorously at times, butwith a different end in view.The force of the student'sspeaking ability is this club'smain concern and thus intra-mural debates and extempo-raneous contests are on theschedule for the coming year.The annual high school foren-sic tournament will continueto be the highlight of the or-ganization's activities.Debates Planned

An attempt is now beingmade to add a new feature tothe roster of the Gavel Clubin arranging for debates withsome of the local colleges,suchas Seattle Pacific College,etc.Notice of the nextmeeting willbe postedon the bulletin boardsoon.

Already among the displayof literature in the main hallis pertinent information re-garding the Chess Club, whichthis year has affiliated itselfwith the Seattle Chess Club.By joining the school group,students receive a rate of fivedollars per year membershipfee, in comparison to the reg-ular charge of $18.

John Kelley, S.J.versity to the public, becauseour school is constantly ex-panding, much of our newsconcerns the newest improve-ments on the campus, thenewadditions toour faculty or cur-riculum, etc. When you re-member that in 1931 ourschool had an enrollmentwhich numbered 40 students;you can estimate how very vi-tal it is that the public be in-formed on the academic pro-gress wemake."Seattle Uand You"

There are many facets inpublicity and one of them be-longs most exclusively to you,the student of S.U. SeattleUn-iversityis proud thatyouare amember of it's student bodyand because of this pride ourdepartment seeks to publicizeyour part in the growth anddevelopmentof S.U.

In effect, you might saythat the office of public rela-tions needs 2500 helpers— forunless we are informed by youof the activities in which youparticipate, the offices youhold, the honors you win

—we have little chance to writean article publicizing yourachievements.

Particularly, we are inter-ested in the activities of ourout-of-town students. If SallyMander of Pishis electedpres-ident of her dorm, we wouldlike to forward a release to thePish Herald telling of thatfact, for we know that her rel-atives and friends in dear oldPish would enjoy reading ofher accomplishments."Utopia"

If each club and organiza-tionat SU appointedone mem-ber who would regularly givethis office such information,liaison would be establishedand the Pish Herald wouldhave a headline story.

Regardingstories which arewritten by this office and sub-mitted for publication inothernewspapers. The story we sub-mit and the printed articleare frequently two differentthings. Naturally, we turn inas much information as wehave at our disposalbut news-papers, victims of space re-quirements and make-up dic-tation, must do with our arti-cles what they will. We cannotattempt to control, for exam-ple, theamount of space whichTheTimes will givean article.We attempt to get the storypublished— so that the readingpublic may be made aware ofSeattle University.

This Office of Public Rehi-tions is a new departmentwhich attempts to conduct a"sales campaign" for anexcel-lent product. It is a depart-ment more than eager to helpyour organization gain thepublicity it deserves. Withyour cooperation and your in-terest, Public Relations canaccomplish this goal, and wewill all have the privilege ofwatching SU (like the pro-verbial give-away jackpot),grow and grow and grow.

By aFormer SPECTATOR Staff Member

Fr.KelleyHeads New Department"Selling" Our EnlargedUniversity

Some time ago at a social event downtown, a very sin-cere Catholic matron asked, following her introduction toSeattle University's Director of Public Relations, "FatherKelley, just what does your office do at Seattle College?"

Practically at the same mo-ment, the assistant to FatherKelley, having been dutifullypresented to another guest,was asked pleasantly, "Howlong have you teen workingwith the University of Wash-ington in Public Relations .'""These Are the Times .. ."

Such times, you must real-ize, try the souls of said office.Seattle College was raised tothe status of Seattle Univer-sity inJune of 1948 and a bigproblem confronting this of-fice is acquainting the publicwith our relativelynew name.

Another misapprehensionwhich our office seeks to cor-rect is the idea that SU is ex-clusively a school for Cath-olics. The Jesuit system ofeducation has ever aimed todevelop "the whole man."Thus,atSeattle University,allstudents are trained in practi-cal theories basedon Christianprinciples.

To establish these twopointsto the public: That the uni-versityat 900 Broadway is Se-attle University, not SPC, notSC, and not the U. of W., andthat Seattle University isopentomen and womenstudents ofall beliefs — are two of ouraims.

As we consider Seattle Uni-versity's Public Relations pro-gram, the interpretation ofour school,as inany sales cam-paign,must be based upon thecertain distinctive qualitieswhich it posesses.It would benaive for us to exaggerateourresources to the point wherewe would seem to be runningin competition with the Uni-versity of Washington. Thevery nature of our school andthe very nature of theU.ofW.makes such competition notonly an impossibility but amistake.

In interpreting and makingknown thedistinctive qualitiesif Seattle University, empha-sis must be placed on the phi-losophy expoundedand theim-portance of the Jesuit's educa-tional powess.That Seattle U.offers a personalized plan ofeducation points up the factthat because of its size - moretime may be given to the indi-vidual student -certainlyadis-tinctive feature.At TheBeginning

The initial job, then, whichthe office attempted in itsfirst month of organization,(June of this year), wasapub-lication of a small bookletwhich would explain in limit-ed detail, the type of educa-tional facilities SeattleUniver-sity offered to the prospectivestudent. This booklet we called"Seattle U. and You" and dis-tributed, via the mailing listat our disposal to high schoolgraduates in Washington Ore-gon, etc.Manyof the names onthis mailinglist were gatheredby Father Kelley during theSummer months as he person-ally contacted pastors in sur-rounding small towns.Stop ThePresses!

Publicity is, of course, aprinciple tool of Public Rela-tions. The stories and picturesyou read and see in the down-town and community papersare written and arranged forby this office. We seek to con-centrate on stories and feat-ures which represent the Uni-
