su's holy yearpilgrim reports

London, England— "...How canIdescribe to youall of the won-derful experiencesof thelast eight days! The majority of the 1200pas-sengers on our ship, the Queen Mary, were pilgrims on their way toRome. The spirit of pilgrimage permeated the whole ship.

In second class, alone, there were daily Masses on three differentaltars from 5:30 to 9:00 a.m., and twiceeach day these devoutCatholicsfrom every state of the Union, Mexico, South America and Japan saidthe Rosary in common.

InLondon there arestillmany reminders of the terriblebombingsof the war days. During our stay there, we saw most of the historiclandmarks: Westminister Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the BritishMu-seum, etc. Our first stop was the tower,describedby Macauleyas "thesaddest spot in the world."

Here St. Thomas More was'martyred on July 6,1534. Here can stillbeseen the inscriptionsof the many Jesuit martyrs who died for theirfaith.After tea (I wouldgive ten shillings for a good cup of Americancoffee) we resumedour tour and met a few of London's nine millions.

The following day we journeyed to Oxford which is a two-hourtrainride fromLondon. Your first view of Oxfordis a beautifulpan-orama of pinnacles and groves, and after walking for hours we hadseen only a few of the many historic colleges of this great university.There are over 25 colleges, each with its ownchapel and campus.

As we strolled through the BodleianLibrary withits 1,500,000 vol-umes, its ancient manuscripts, one of the New Testament copied in400 A.D.,IrealizedhowyoungSU really is.

The students of Oxford wereon vacationand Iam sure that SUstudents would like to adopt their plan of study: eight weekson thecampus, when they are free either to attend lectures or do privatestudy, followed by six weeks of vacation.

We must hurry to catch the late trainfor London. After all, Eng-landis only one country andIameager to fly to Paris.

My only regret is thateverySU student and faculty memberis notwith us on this pilgrimage. The best is yet to come

— France, Switzer-land, Italy,and aboveall else, two weeks inRome.

Pray for me asIhurry throughEuropebringing allyour intentionsto these great centers of Christain faithful and give my best regards toall. Sincerely in Christ,

at last,a solution

JULIE DENNEHYAs the growling rumble of the

rising hangar door ceased, and wegazed upon our beloved city forthe first time in six weeks,a senseof overpowering pride filled ourhearts.

During the endless days of lec-tures and diagrams, building andtesting, and throughout sleeplessnights of intense study, we wereoften possessed with despair, andwith a sense of worthlessness—especially when weknewthatonlytwo of us would be chosen for themission.

Of the original 300 whopassedthe competitive examinations,only 32 were able to keep upwith such a stiff schedule.Even with the competition nar-

rowed down this much, there stillseemed to be little chance indeedof eversurviving all the tests andof passing the strict oralexamina-tions of the Most High ExecutiveCouncil, much less of meeting theapproval of the "Exalted."

But ourperseverance andstami-na boreus through the three-yearcourse, including the final sixweeks when we were kept in theunderground chambers,away fromall contact with the outside world— even our families. We werenever given a chance to thinkabout them, but spent every mo-ment in class, study, or anxiousfear of the approachingendurancetests.

Our eyesbecame used to theunfathomable darkness,and thehours of dismal silence brokenonlyby thereverberating echoesof grinding machinery from theconstructionplant 300 feetbelowour quarters. We were taughtto ignore the -pangs of hungerand gradually built up an im-munity against fatigue until itbecame possible to function in-telligently for days without thebenefit of sleep.

In short, we were prepared foranything that the unknown mightcast upon us.

Even this morning it was notknown who the privileged twowould be, and we all lined up be-fore the loudspeaker to hear the"Exalted's" final choice. Each ofus hoped that it would be he.

Now it seemed hard to realizethat we were actually the onesready to depart, and that all thehardship and work was not invain. As we put on our helmetsand pulled the goggles down overour eyes, we gazed at the glitteringsteel domes and lofty golden spiresof the buildings for perhaps thelast time. Then, with an explosivesound and a burst of speed, wewere off!

As our circular, gleamingwhite disk headed into space,we wondered whether we wouldreach our destination

—Earth

—and whatkind of areception wewould receive from the people,more than twice our size, whoinhabit it.

After tune-up matches with St.Martin's and P.L.C.. this will bethe first real testof theseason forthe Chieftains. The Cougars fromPullman willbe out to squelch theChiefs' hopes of adding to theirprestige in Northwest golf circles.

Swinging for SU against theStaters will be Jerry O'Driscoll,BUI Conroy,Bob Codd, Jerry Mat-thews, Captain Jack Codd andDick Gjelstine.

Against the St.Martin's Rangerslast weeknoneof the localgolfersfailed to take points in their 12-3victory. Medalist Jerry Matthewsset an early season pace with acommendableone over par 73 onthe tough 5,971 yard West Seattlelayout.

Subsequent to the second weekof turnouts thevarsity fastballsit-uation boils down something likethis:

The 30-man squad is due for acvt— which, Coach Fenton statedhe would attend to during thisthird week of moulding a teamto represent theMaroonandWhite.

Although the 11 returning let-termen from last season's cham-pionship club are certain to stick,several starting positions are wideopen, as Fenton admonished thata few new candidates have im-pressed him and warrant a goodlook.

Three of those 11 experiencedsoftballers,all three-year vets,willprove difficult to oust from thestarting nine

—and probably won't

be! They are inflelders Jim (Jap)Jasperse and Rudy Mockle andfly-chaserJoJo Dahlem.

The aggregation's two hurlingstars of the past season will againalternate the mound work. Two-year manBobby Fesler, oneof thecity's most respectedunderarmers,was the major factor in the Chiefs'winning the "Class A" crown andreaching the White Center play-offs in '49. The other, FreshmanHoopsterJim Gifford, twirledsev-eral fine contests after joining theteam midway through the cam-paign.

Also, Fenton declaredthat thoseremaining after cutsaremade willtaste competition soon, as he isarranging some practice tilts inpreparation for league play.

By JOHN BLEWETTFootballhas always been a subject of great interest to sportsfans,

and with the diamondmenrestingand the other spring sports not yetin fullswing, an opportunity presents itself to momentarily moveawayfrom current athletics and discuss a problem of definite concern toevery SU footballenthusiast.

Often the questionhas been asked why SU does not field a foot-ball team. Certainly there is potential material in the many formerhigh school and semi-pro players whoattend classes here, and manyof the othersmaller schools in this vicinity manage to support teams ofgood repute. Finally, every school shiuld have a football team as amatter of spirit and tradition. Sounds worthy doesn't it? A talk witha few members of the athletic department, however, soon shakes thefoundation of our ideas.

The financial aspect is definitely the biggest factor in consideringthe problem. It would actually cost more than $100,000 to initiate afootballprogramof any worth, and thatprice is far out of reachof thepresentfinancial setup.Analyzing the figure stated,a littleexplanationeasily clears up the questionof where that amount of money wouldgo.The analysis does not include the smaller expenses, but only the ap-proximate figures for the overallprogram.

To have a successful football team (and that would be our objec-tive) there must be good sound coaching. At least three salaries wouldbe required for the minimumcoaching staff and the situationin thepresentday puts the college coach in the same bracket withthe schoolpresident. Another item of great expense would be in the equipping ofthe players. Completely new sets of practice and game uniforms andpadding wouldhaveto bepurchased,along withthe servicesof a train-er and the required high premium insurance. To add to the difficulty,the university wouldhave to acquire a practice fieldand a site for theirhome games. Enough of these type problems confront the school in itsacademicexpansionand need for land.

Finally the matter of the players themselves. In order to attractand hold good material,not only would tuition have to begranted, butpayment would have to be given. Even athletics has fallen under themaxim— "you never get something for nothing".

Other Facilities More NecessaryHaving consideredthe financial obstacles (sufficient within them-

selves) we turn to many other reasons opposing a footballprogram.The school is still growing and time and effort, to say nothing of fi-nances, must constantly be devoted to expanding facilities.Comparingour lot withthat of othersmaller schools is an evenstrongerargument.

Many of the smaller schools have dropped football from theirsports agenda and others are considering it. They make the claim thatthe sportis dead weight on the athletic system and not worthy of sup-port. Couple this with the fact that we would be competing with thebiggest schoolin the Northwest for customers and publicity in our ownhome town and the issue takes a more decisive turn. If we had somemeans of backing the progressitwould be different, but our alumniisstilla young and growing organizationnot capable of any great finan-cial aid.

Football's future does look dark at SU, and with growing concen-trationonbasketballandbaseballcan hardly be foreseen. Most of thosewhoknowall the circumstances surrounding the questionseem to holdfirm in their belief that the great gridiron sport isa wonderfulgame toplayor watch,buta pooroneto support. It'snot hard to see theirpoint.

"The Place of Poetry in theModern World" was discussed byGerri Lee Coughlin and FrankSullivan on the Philosophy Club'sEaster morning broadcast.

Prose has supplanted poetry inthe worldtoday;poetryis no long-er the influence it once was, saidMrs.Coughlin inher openingstate-ment.

"Like all forms ofart, the objectof poetry is the true and thebeautiful," said Sullivan, "and aslong as we have thought of anysort, poetry will express it."

To bear outher openingremark,Mrs. Coughlinmaintainedthat fewpeopleread poetry.She holds thatthe top ranking modern poets areread only by a select few, not bythe majority of the people.

Sullivan contended this is be-cause the averageperson does notunderstand poetry and does notknow how to approach it. This hetraced to the complete passivity ofpeople today regarding poetry andart.Hollywood is largely responsi-ble for this,hesaid.

With nothing but praise for thework done through Europe by theNational Catholic Welfare Serviceand withvividpictures of theneedfor such activity, a youngCatholiccouple, graduates of Seattle Uni-versity's Class of 1948, returnedto the United States last week.

They are Mr. and Mrs. ColinCampbell, wholeft Seattle March9, 1949, to tour Europe with thehope of furthering their studies.This alone would seem an ambi-tious enough venture but, consid-ering the fact that they sailed fromNew York on the QueenMary withonly $170, it seems almost impos-sible. Nevertheless, they weath-ered the trip and arrived in Pe-ruggia, Italy, with a mere $40.

Through contact with the Veter-ans' Administration in Italy, theyenrolled in the University of Pe-ruggia to study the Italian lan-guage. They -spent three monthsat the university, dividing theirtime between studying and trav-eling.

They made the pilgrimage toRome, where they shareda publicaudience with His Holiness, PopePius XII. In Trieste they metMonsignor Joseph Harnett, direc-tor of the CatholicWelfare Service.They had nothing but praise forthe work that Monsignor and theNCWC have done in the sectorsof Europe in which they traveled.

When asked if they had any tipsfor Seattleites who plan to visitEurope during the Holy Year, theCampbells suggested that Catho-lics, in particular, wouldbe inter-ested inthesmaller cities through-out Italy.

In regard to the practical sideof the advice,Mr.andMrs. Camp-bell remarkedthat foodpricesandlodgings are much more reason-able in the smaller outlying townsthan in the larger cities.

Mr.and Mrs. Campbell have en-rolled in Seattle University fortheir fifth year of training in theSchool of Education.

By EILEEN WAGNERThe last vestige of the Middle

Ages is to be found at SeattleUni-versity. On the campus of thismodern institution, there dwelllsone of those legendary creatures,a Jesuitpriestshrouded inmystery.

To a casual observer, FatherJosephGeraldBussy, S.J.,may notseem to be a figure of mystery.Thereon, however, (to coin aphrase),hangs a tale.The accountsof Father's life, available to thisreporter, show great variation.

An interview withFatherBussyelicited a story which was, per-haps, a result of a recent readingof Ogden Nash, but which wouldhave done credit to Baron Mun-chausen. "I was born in London,the hub of the universe,in 1887,"Father narrated. At the age ofseven,already a self educatedman,he ran away to sea.

Inthe course of his nauticalca-reer, he sailed around the worldand helped to discover America,thus supplementing the efforts ofa certain C. Columbus. Findingthat the lifeof asailor wasnot forhim, however, young JosephGer-ardentered theJesuitorder,where,he declared,"I was a roaring suc-cess untilIfell off a horse."

In the interim, he had gone toSouth Africa, where he fought theBoers during World War I; and,having retainedhis interest in theNew World,he hadsailedtoAmer-ica to convert the natives,

Waxing prophetic, Father fore-told that he woulddie in 1989, atthe age of 102; and that his par-ents would attend the funeral.

At this point the elementofcon-fusion entersin.According toothersources Father wasbornin Londonin 1908. For six years,he attendedSt.Mary's College, SonnkhiU,Der-byshire.He left there whenhe was17,and entered theJesuitnovitiatetwo years later.

In 1933, he received his degreeof L.Ph., and four years later, hisS.T.L. from the Gregorian Collegein Rome. Following that, Fathertaught in an African seminary forsome time;'and served as a chap-lain in the British Army both inItaly and SouthernRhodesia dur-ing World War 11.

He came to the United Statesthree years ago. He first lived inNew York for a while, then camewest to spend six months in Yaki-ma, andcame to SUinthesummerquarter of 1948 as an instructor inphilosophy.

Until iU health forced him toleave school, Father Bussy moder-ated the Philosophy Club, theCatholic Action Group, the ChessClub, the Riding Club, and theSailing Club, and was anhonorarymember of theHiyuCoolees.

In class, Father remains at restonly long enough to tell one of hisfrequent jokes; in the course ofhis lectures, he strides swiftly andvigorously across the classroom.Although he is well adapted toAmerican customs, Father mysti-fies his classes at timesby hisBrit-ish accent.

Although some try Father's pa-tience by referring to his accent as"cute", at least one coed, it isaverred, has confessed an ardentdesire to bark wildly when he ad-dressedher as "Lassie".

Employers GiveJob-GettingTips toSeniors at Seminar

By JOHN H. ROONEYFinding a iob willbe the princ-

ipalgoalof the majority of seniorsgraduating from Seattle Univer-sity this June.

In recognition of this problemThe Spectator covered the annualiob seminar nresentedby theMan-agement Club of the University ofWashington last Friday at MeanyHall.

In the main address of the eve-ning, Rex Allison, presidentof theBon Marche, told the gatheringthat the employment market is a"buyer's market" today,but that itis anormal marketcompared withconditions before the war.

"The most important thing toremember when looking for a jobis to sell yourself to the right em-ployer, if you are to avoiddisap-pointment or failure," he said."Evaluate your past experienceand training anddecide,before theinterview,how you canbest fit intothe employer's business. Directyour attention toward employerswho. offer the kind of work thatsuits your background."Background Stressed

The scholastic recordshould beconsidered not only for academicstanding, but also with an eye toparticular courses and the possible,value of such training to the em-ployer.

"Present your facts withhonestyand sincerity. Don't try to "highpressure" the employer. It is notnecessary.He is interested in youor you would not havebeen giventhe interview,"headded.

The value of extra-curricularactivities incollege wasquestionedduring a panel discussion. Mrs.Frankie Schmitz, director of train-ing at the Bon Marche andEarlP.Johnson, assistant personneldirec-tor at Frederick and Nelson, saidthat, asan indication of leadershipand organizational ability, extra-curricular work is an asset.Must Have Meaning

But they said also, the merejoining of organizations withoutgiving evidence of ability ordesireto work and organize, or where theactivity has a negative effect onscholastic achievement, were def-initely against a prospective em-ployee.

The opportunity for women inbusiness, according to Mrs.Schmitz, is dependent largely ontheirstability. If the employer cancount on them to remain with thebusiness for a number of years,they will, in all probability rise toa position of responsibility, if theyhavewhatit takes otherwise.

Both menand womenwere ad-vised by style experts to wearconservative clothes to interviewsand to business. Neatness, not"flash", is the effect most desiredby employers. Particular stresswas placedon wearing ahat! Thisfor men as well as women. Hatsand the waythey are worn are anexternal sign of character thatem-ployers have learned to dependupon.Favors Narrow Brim

KennethHaldaneof Littler's,ad-vised a two and one-quarter inchbrim for young men, vehementlycautioning against choosing a $20Barsilino, with its three-inchbrim."It looks ridiculous on most peo-ple,"he said. "It isn't ahat, it's anumbrella."

strive to understand poetry, saidMrs. Coughlin. "The need for thetrue and beautiful in the natureof man can be filled by meansother than poetry," she stated.

The speakers,guidedintheirdis-cussion by the Rev.Owen McCus-ker, S.J., gave the listening audi-ence a fast-moving presentationoftheir views.
