See Page 4 for analysisofnew student constitution.

If any moral can be derived from awork such as the collection of criticalessays compiled and edited by the Rev-erend Norman Weyand,S.J., that lessonsurely must be a warning to anyandallliterary critics not to make unprovokedattacks upon any Jesuit author. To dosois to call down the wrath of the entireorder upon that unlucky critic.

Father Weyand's work is the latestin a long series of books and articlesseeking (and succeeding) to prove thatthe entrance of Hopkins, the 18th Cen-turypoet, into the Society of Jesus wasnot the deplorable and debilitating thingclaimed by some non-Catholic critics."Immortal Diamond" emerges as thebest answer to this charge and, inciden-tally, as the most outstanding commen-tary on Hopkins yet presented.

Part of the book's significance is inits authorship. It marks the first pub-lic appearance of a group of young Jesu-its in the Midwest, of and about whommuch will be heard in the future incriti-calcircles. Among these are at least twomen familiar to the Northwest and toSeattle University, the Reverends JohnL. Bonn and D. A. Bischoff.ON FAMILIAR GROUND

These authors, familiar with allphases of Jesuit life,present for the firsttime a pointof view parallelingHopkins'own. Their examination is complete andcompresensive, covering Hopkins' per-sonallife,his poetic theory and his tech-nical devices.

Admittedly, "Immortal Diamond," aname derived from one of Hopkins' po-ems, cannot be classed as "escapist"reading. In fact> some of the essays are

REVIEW :

Immortal diamond By JOHN TALEVICHso technical as to border on boredom.The account of Hopkins' life, however,and his striving to find himself, are inthemselves a fascinating story.

Gerard Manley Hopkins was bornintoan age which tried the souls of menof vision and genius. The religious tur-moil and the opposing schools of liter-ature eventually brought such aman asHopkins to a choice between Catholicismand decadent, degenerate aestheticism.Fortunately for the world of literature,Hopkins emulated the example of hisideal, Newman, and became a Catholic.

Strangely enough, it has remainedforour century todiscover Hopkins' truegenius. Thoughhe lived,wrote and diedin the Victorian Age, Hopkins' workswere not given public acclaim until theposthumous publication of his poems in1918. Since that time, competent critioshave agreed -that Hopkins deserves torank as the outstanding Catholic poet,and indeed as one of the outstandingliterary figures of all time.

Hopkins' own words are the mosteloquent testimonial to the caliber ofhis works, "The only just judge, .theonly just literary critic is Christ, whoprizes, is proud of, and admires, morethan any man, more than the receiverhimself can, the gifts of his ownmaking."

As another note of local interest,Father Weyand acknowledges the aidgiven him in preparing the book byNancy Swarva, former Seattle Univer-sity student now teaching eveningclasses here. Nancy worked with FatherWeyand while at Loyola in Chicago,where she was doing work for her,mas-ter's degree.

Re The New LookOn the back page of this edition, the

Spectator has printed an analysis of thenew constitution which will be submit-ted for approval at the next StudentBody meeting.

Never one to mince words, nor toconceal its opinions, the Spectator here-by endorses this new constitution as anobvious step forward.

Seattle University has grown andwill continue to grow insizeand stature,therefore it is only fitting that studentgovernment regulations should be mod-ernized tofit theneedsof thisexpansion.

Some time ago, the Spectator com-mented regarding the scheduling of so-cial events which necessitated severalcancellations. Ik is gratifying to notethat the.new constitution has recognizedthe need for revision.

It would be even more gratifying towitness an interest on tho part of everystudent \f\ **us._new aw"i*M»" fch<nii an ln"

Character Study,By FRANK SULLIVAN

The most forgettable character Iever met was aman whose nameIcan'tremember. It will probably come to melater. Ithink it was Charlie Parsons,but it could have been Frank Zupancic.VeryoftenIsit down after dinner,wheneverythingis ideal for remembering oldfriends, yet never think of Parsons (orZupancic) at all.Ioften think of Carrie Douay, who

is inher sophomore year at a quiet resthome. I'mstillcertain that she intendedno evil.

And then there is always my deargrandmother. Iremember what a timeshe had with the boys when grandfatherbought the car. "Now, boys," she usedto yell, "don't drive that car all overtown without any gas in it. You'll frythe valves if you do!"

These are two memorable people inmy life; yet they never remind me ofZupancic (or Parsons).

It's quite possible that he's a verycourageous soul. A missionary, or some-thinglike that

— convertingsavages, dar-ing death and disease in a deadly coun-try of grim foreboding. Or maybe he'sthe houseman at the buck limit tablein some card room.

I'llbet thatReddick (itcouldbeRed-dick, instead of Parsons or Zupancic) —I'll bet that he's said a lot of smartthings inhis day, too. IfIcould remem-ber them,Ibet I'd be inspired. But Ican't. Ican't even remember his name.

Hedequist and either HowieLangor Jack Lynchare inlinefor the nod. Bob Fenn and JimCarden will againsplit the re-ceivingchores.

No change is to be expectedin the defensive infield comboof Reed, Casal, Harringtonand Reserves Connor and Piroare slated to break into theUrsino,Faccone, Blakley out-field trio.

Brightman was definitelydisappointed in the unpredic-table pitching and lack of of-fensive punch showed in thePLC series, but he believesthat first taste of competitionwill tend to better the squadinall departments.

CORRECTIONThe SU tennis team won five

matches and lostone, insteadofthe previously reported twowins and six losses.

Who Hoppen????"Attack is the reaction: Inever think Ihave hit

hard unless it rebounds."Tfiis famous statement was made by the late Sam'l

Johnson, and has been closely followed by our most popularAmerican journalists who believe, like Johnson, that actionis the essence of living.

And you areprobably asking yourself, at this point, "What's thisguy trying to say?"

Tocut it short,Imentionedin this column, lastedition, that SeattlePacific College hadcopiedour school colors (Maroon-ajid-White, Gus).But as you will findout elsewhereon this page, this statement provedwrong after a couple of days' research on the SPC campus.

Well, as the timepassed since the Spec's last edition, many inter-esting things have happened. Seattle Pacific lettermen have definitelydecided that there must be a distinction, either in school colors or intheir letter monograms, between SPC and SU. As Head SPC Basket-ball CoachHarold McNeese puts it,

"One of us (SU or SPC) has got to change, otherwise thissituation, of confusing the two schools, will become worse. Achange from maroon and white, by either SPC or SU, would cer-tainly distinguish the Chiefs from our Falcons

— athleticallyspeaking."

Coach McNeese, numerous SU alumni, lettermen, faculty, andstudents who have been interviewedduring the past week seem unani-mously to agree that something should be done, this year, in distin-guishing SPC's lettermen from Seattle Us.

Some people think a, variation in SPC's letter monograms (like"S" changed to "SP") would make the problemperfectly clear, otherswant acomplete change in the Maroon-and-White combination. Colorslike Crimson-and-Gold, Kelly Green-and-Red, Orange-and-Maroonseem to be most preferred by the SU students ingeneral. Other lessconservativecollegians want such combinations as Fuchsia-and-Blue,Scarlet-and-Green, Black-and-White— but then, does a university haveto be conservative when choosing a school color?

The best solution to follow in a controversial situation like thisis to appointa committeecomposed of representativesfrom the alumni,faculty, Lettermen'sClub, ASSU, and any other interested faction, todiscuss the possibilities of such a change.

If a change can be had without too much cost—

let us then pro-ceed with the matter.Indian Lore

"S" FOR SEATTLE

-WHO? Chieftains To Tackle

Invading WWC NineIn Doubleheader

By JACK PAINCoach Joe Martin brings his Western Washington Col-

lege nine to Broadway field tomorrow for a double-header... the two seven-inningcontests getting under way at 1:30.The visitors appear to be strongest in the battery posi-

tions. On the mound will betwo dependable righthandedveterans— Lee Stout andDickPatterson, both former starsin Seattle high school circles.Behind the platter is hard-hittingGerry Karofski, whointhe 1948 campaign naileddown down a position on theEvergreen Conference all-starteam.

Advance notice also marksFirst Baseman Hal Norgaardand Outfielders Scoll andHatch as heavy stickers.

In the season's opener, theVikings took two one-run vic-tories from Seattle Pacific, 2-1and 4-8.

Coach Al hasn't made thefinalchoice of startinghurlersfor the Chefs as yet,but Bob

in1944.Seattle Seminary adopted

the maroon and white guidonin 1911, and, when its namewaschanged to Seattle PacificCollege in1915,it retained thecolors.

The old Seattle College,notaware of its future collegiaterival across the city, adoptedthe same colors in 1934 to re-place the too-often-used blueand white. #

To get arounded consensus,Philip F.Ashton, dean of edu-cationatSPC, wasqueried.Hesaid, "We're both going to bein Seattle for some time. Ithink something should bedone soon. Who's going tomake the first move? That'sit."

Similarly, SPC Coach RalphMcNeese asserted that "somegroupshould get together andsolve it, particularly since weare in intercollegiate athletics.It's confusing at games, withmaroon and white 'S's' allaround." He added, with achuckle, "Why not let the de-bate teams fight itout?"

On theother sideof thecity,the Rev.R. J. Carmody, S.J.,commented "some changeshould be initiated— but soon— before any more money isspent on new uniforms, etc.

The only objection, Ithink,would come from the letter-men who would have to getnew sweaters."

Earl Spangler, vice presi-dent of the SU Lettermen'sClub, answered "I'm all for it.Maroon and white is too drab.Ithink we should get some-thingmore original,especiallywhen we have another schoolin Seattle with the same colorsand letter."

Assistant Athletic DirectorBillFenton said,"Ibelieveit'shard to break a tradition. Ithink it could all be solved ifSeattle Pacific used 'SP' or'SPC' on their sweatersand letus use the «V J

A representative SeattleUniversity student,Jack Pain,reiteratedSpangler'scommentand suggested adopting theIntercollegiate Knight's colorsof royalblue and cardinal red.

Robert Smith, SU Alumnisecretary,averred "the colorsshouldbe changed if it wouldnot entail too much expense."

Linksmen Tee OffToPLC14-1,16-2;Face Vikings Here

The Chieftain golfers aregunning for an undefeatedseason in the links sport, withtwo clear-cut victories over astrong Pacific Lutheran teamalready under their belts.TheChiefs took the first one onthe familiar West Seattlecourse by 14 to 1, and thentraveled to Tacomaand playedalmost perfect golf on thetreacherous Brookdale courseto down the Lutes,16 to 2.

In the first match Conroywas medalist for the Chiefs,with a 72. Jerry O'Driscolland-Bob Codd shot 77's, whileJack Codd and JerryMatthewswere swinging 77 times. Inthis one, Matthews lost onepoint as his teammates weresweeping with 3-os.

The return bout in Tacomawas almost a repetitionof thefirst, except that Number 1Man Jerry O'Driscoll lost twopoints while scoring one, al-though he shot a sizzling 71.Jerry Matthews was medalistfor this one, with a 69....Bill Conroy shot 74, JackCodd and Bob Codd had 75's,and Newcomer Dick Gjelsteenhad first-match jitters in tak-ing 77 strokes.

Thecompetitive ladder basisof determining team positionshas been abandoned this sea-son in favor of weekly quali-fying rounds. Team positionsare -awarded by scores.

SCHEDULE CHANGEDSeattle University has added

a new baseball opponent andchanged the dateson twosched-uledgames.

Oregon College of Educationhas asked a game May 14, toround out a road trip whichbrings it here to play SeattlePacific the previous day.

The WesternWashingtonCol-lege ofEducation invasion,orig-inally set for Good Friday, waschanged to tomorrow. Becauseof a conflict in dates, SU willjourney to Tacoma to play Col-lege of Puget Sound May 18,instead of May 19.

Patrol Chief AsksCare on HighwaysAs Traffic Grows

Eighteen people have beenfatally injured in rural andurban traffic accidents in thestate of Washington duringthe first 15 days of March,1949. Nine of these fatalitieshave occurred between March12 and March 15.

Chief Roy F.Carlson,of theWashington State Patrol,pointed 'out that during themonth ofFebruary,1949,only16 people were killedin trafficaccidents in this state. Withthe coming of fair weather,many motorists will be crowd-ing our highways to enjoypleasure driving. All motor-ists are urged, he added, toexercise extreme caution

— thelife you save maybeyour own.

In the first 2V-> months of1949, 57 people have beenkilled in motor vehicle trafficaccidents inthis state, as com-pared to115 for thefirst threemonths of 1948.

Uncle Sam OffersEngineering Jobs

The U. S.CivilService Com-mission is now accepting ap-plications for engineer posi-tions. The jobs are located invarious Federal agencies inWashington, D. C, and vicin-ity, and pay entrance salariesranging from $2,974 to $5,905a year.

No written test is requiredfor any of the positions. Toqualify, applicants must havehad education or experienceinengineeringor combination ofboth. The present educationalrequirementhasbeen amendedto read: "Successful comple-tionof astandard professionalengineering curriculum lead-ing to a bachelor's degree inan accredited college or uni-versity."

Announcements and appli-

Credits, units, majors, mi-nors, courses, assignments,labs, lectures,lests,andgradepoint averages are nothingmore than educationalpreven-tives. So states HaroldTaylor,president of Sarah LawrenceCollege.

The answer to the student'sprayer would, as ProfessorTaylor puts it,"radically mod-ify the present mechanics ofeducation." Hissolution to thepresent problem of crowdedschedules, wild-eyed seniors,and gray-haired professors is

who, allegedly, know the con-stitution.

A tight, narrowly definedconstitution such as the onewe now have needs no judicialboard because it leaveslittle tobe interpreted. Thenew "flex-ible" constitution will requirejudicial board members whoare not only familiar with theconstitution, but who have ageneral knowledge of studentaffairs. The result will be aworking- judicial board thatwill facilitate constitutionalinterpretation in the new stu-dent government.New Student Council

The student council, replac-ing the presentadvisoryboard,will consist of fifteen mem-bers, five sophomores and fivefrom each of the upperclasses.This group will be controlledindirectly by the general stu-dent body through the mediumof standardlegislative devices,the initiative,referendum andrecall. The council will be pro-vided with power to initiateaction and take the necessarylegislative steps to put theproposals into effect.

This will alleviate the prob-lem we have been facing in thepast of disinterested students,looking for free cigarettes(Ed. note: For shame), at-tending haphazard meetingsat which so-called studentbody "business" ishandled.No More Cancellations?

Activities, especially thoseheld inspring quarter, will bescheduled much more effec-tively under the newly pro-posed system.The present ac-tivities board will operate as itdoes now with two importantexceptions: All controversialissues that come before theboard will be sent to the presi-dential cabinet for final ap-proval.As such, the board willnot pass on the date of anyactivity. Applications for datesduring any quarter will besubmitted to the cabinet foracceptance. This will alleviatesome of the strain evident atrecent meetings."KeepingUp With the Times"

When the streamlining iscompleted, the constitution inits final form will eliminateour "behind-the-times studentgovernment."

Up until now, our studentgovernment has been operat-ing as efficiently as possibleunder the circumstances.

The new constiution, be-cause it is drawn up loosely,will not have thesame limitingeffect.The small,compact stu-dent council form of govern-ment has longbeen needed atSeattle University.If adopted,this constitution may possiblyanswer theoldquestion"Whatcan we do to improve studentgovernment?"

In thespring a youngman'sfancylightly turns to thoughtsof improved student govern-ment. Ray O'Leary is no ex-ception.

Possessed with the fore-sight naturally required of agraduating senior, Ray, earlyin fall quarter, appointed arepresentative student com-mittee to investigate the pos-sibilities of revising SeattleUniversity's outmoded consti-tution.

The present constitutionwas taken off the shelf andcarefully dusted (it evidentlyhadn't been touched since thelast time it was amended). Athorough analysis followedand the committee went into,high gear.Four Major Changes

Highlighting the "latestthing" in constitutions will befour major changes of generalconcern to the student body.They are: enlarged president-ial powers, a revised judicialboard,a student council to re-place the advisory board, andchanges in the present activ-ities board.

Themost abruptbreak from"behind-the-timesstudentgov-ernment" deals with the pow-ersof thepresident.Under thenew system the student bodypresident has finally beengiven some actual authority.Prexy Is for It

Commenting on the advan-tages of the revised constitu-tion,Ray O'Leary,SU studentbody president, said: "Work-ingunder the new constitutionnextyear'spresident willprob-ably be able to accomplishmuch more for the school andthe students" O'Leary termedthe new constitution a greatstep forward in student gov-ernment because of its practi-cality.

Enlarged presidential pow-ers include: (1) a veto, whennecessary, on legislationpassedby the student council;(2) appointment of a presi-dential cabinet to act as an ad-visorygroup;(3) thepower toappoint orremove chairmen ofallmajor schoolactivities.Before and After

The revised judicial boardwill consist of nine members,three sophomores, three jun-iors and three seniors. Mem-bers will be appointed in theirsophomore year and serve onthe board until graduation.The underclassmen will betrainees, having the right toquestion and discussion with-out votingpower.Junior mem-bers will constitute the actualvotingpoweron theboard,andsenior members will serve inan advisorycapacity only.

Under the present system,one sophomore is chosen bymeans of a competitive exam-ination to serve on the boardfor three years. This gives usthree active board members,

an occasional lecture whenconsidered necessary by stu-dents and teachers, printedmaterial in place of regularlectures,anddiscussiongroupsand seminars led by students.No "Orals"

This,of course, would com-pletely eliminate the oral ex-aminations for seniors, whichallegedly separate the menfrom the boys. He completelyreverses his stand, however,when he calls for comprehen-sive examinations which,odd-ly enough, would demand theuse of knowledge to answerthe questions.

Petitions are now beingcir-culated among SU students,requesting the powers that beto investigate this new typeof education, and to take agood look.Students, Arise!

Students, up to now, havebeen treated as intellectualchildren, even though —

asProfessor Taylor says— "theyhave been doing all of thethings which adults do duringthe last 20 years."

The time has come forAmerican college students toassert themselves. The inter-ests, talents, capacities, andmaturity of the individual stu-dent must be recognized byeducators. We have beenunder-educated and over-or-ganized long enough. Get outthere and sign that petition!You, too, may grow up to bepresident of Sarah LawrenceCollege.
