Cancer ProjectProgressingat SU Lab

"Cancer research is makinggreatstrides withthe dollarscontributed

1 by the American people," said Fr.Leo J. Schmid, S.J., on the open-'frig of'the "AjWft"cancer drive.

"Research is progressingall overthe nation, and this work is noexception," said Father. "I amverypleased withthe results thusfar. However, research is slowand years of work are ahead."

Father said thatcancer isknowntohavemany causes and that thesevarious causes should have some-

i thins incommon. He is working:onthe theory that thenervoussystemis this common element. Theknown causes work as stimuli on

! the nervoussystem.In working with white rats, Fr.

Schmid is using common drugs tostimulatethe nerves.He has been

i successfulincreating tumorsin thekidneys and the liver."The exper-iments havemet with 25 per centsuccess," Fathersaid, "whichisen-couraging, but a thousand trialsare needed as a basis for statis-tics and as yet only a littleover ahundred have been completed."

Father worksalone inhis origi-nal cancer work.To his knowledgehe is theonly scientistapproachingthe problem from this parictularangle.

Father Schmid began his worktwo years ago on a $5000 grantfrom the Damon Runyon CancerFund. Since then he has beenworking entirely onhis own. (

He submits yearly reportsto thaCancer Society and isin closecon- itact with the other scientists ,throughout the country.

Father has converted an ordi-nary garage intoa sanitary, steam-heated room containing pens thatwill hold sixty rats at a time. Atthe present time the pens are al-most filled tocapacity.

His work isunending, withdailyfeeding and washing. He admitsthat this slow, tedious researchconfines his activitiesconsiderably. :But he also admits that he insistson finding "time in the week to gofishing."

Ann Brenner, home economicssenior, maintains the life and soulof culture is embodiedinMr.Mac-Inerney's literature class. "Ineverknew one couldmiss so much, cul-turally speaking, that is, until Ienrolled in this class," said Ann.

Review

the maryknoll story" TED DOOLEYIhave just finished reading a true story,a love story.It is an account of men so envelopedm love that they have ex-

changed comfortable homes, warm friendships— and all the things weAmericans hold dear— for the bleak mountainous country of CentralChina; for the trackless jungles of South America; for the swelteringheat and wildsavageryof Central Africa.

These menareMaryknoll missioners. And the author of the book,"The Maryknoll Story", is the noted news reporter— Radio Commenta-tor Robert Considine.

Due to the religiousnature of the subject, one,at first, thinks—

andjustifiably,Ibelieve

—thatits appeal would be somewhatlimited. This

contentionis shatteredafter reading the first chapter.

Considine'swarm, sympathetic andrealisticprose willinduce eventhe mose lethargic reader to continue to the end.

As one reads on the thoughtful premise that religion concerns it-self withlife as well as withworship.

Their task is not just oneof conversation.Of course, that is the fi-nal objective, but, m between, comes the building of orphanages,schools and hospitals.

The priestmust be a mother, father, doctor and nurse to countlessnumbers of unwantedchildren. In China, for instance, the missionersliterally pick children out of the garbage cans. Though they may bethe lowliestpeople on earth, Godstill wants them.

Considine reports that the most successful job for the missioners(aside from language problems) is the painstaking work of overcomingancient habits and pagan rituals. This is where applied psychology isreally important.

Each area of operations is consolidated into a diocese—

but manytimes the size of the diocese as we nowknow it. Considine has giveneach of these dioceses a chapter, withmany picturesof lifeas itislivedm them.

This systematic approachto such a complexgeographical situationenables the reader to get a candidpicture of the peopleand their var-ious modes of life.

This book should be required reading for every Catholic.Itmakes one realize that Catholicismis NOT just a state of mind

or just aparish church; but a philosophy of life, practicedm even themost remote corners of the earth.

It is inspiring to know that there are such selfless people m theworldas the Maryknollers— people whose only wish is to serve theirfellowman, and wholivem the knowledge that there is Someone whois always watching their unsung work.

what liveread at su" 808 NEFF

On inquiring into the readinghabits of SU students and faculty-members, one can come up withsome strange and unexpectedan-swers. For instance, "What do youreadduring yourleisure time?"wasan average question posed. BabsPatten hysterically posed rightback, "What leisure time?" Thiswas typical of so many. Othersacted as though you were tryingto pry out state secrets and gavesuch coy answers as "tthat wouldbe telling," or "wouldn't you liketo know?"

Mr. Wood, speech instructor,stopped the show when he statedthat MaxShulman was tops onhislist. To use the gentleman's ownwords; "He (Max) is the greatestwriter since whoever wrote theBible."

KayeKlingle, witha gradepointof three-point-something, freelyadmitted she hasn't read a booksince Christmas vacation. We ad-mire a girl like this but can't helpwondering what holds up thatgrade point.

Another representative of thespeech department, Mr. Crawley,was notquite so revolutionary,yethe did make a noteworthy state-ment. He said, but we are doubt-ful, thathe spends 30 secondseachnight reading Mary Worth, Li'lAbner, and The Dragon Lady.

We have classifiedStanIlollfeid,freshman pre-major, as a discrim-inating reader. Esquire, huntingand fishing stories, comic books,and SherlockHolmes arebuta fewof the fascinations which capturehis wide-eyedinterest.

Leo Duval, a studious appearingengineering junior, has read butone novel m the last three years.He accomplished that m one eve-ning, rushed down town the nextday to see the movie, and hasn'tpicked up a novel since. We can'timagine what Hollywood did tothat story to have such a lastingeffect.

Mrs. Leonard's admission thatshe reads murder mysteries forcomplete relaxationwassomethingof a shock. (Mrs. Leonard, haveyou read The Case of the Fan-Dancer's Horse? Perry Mason isat his best.)

One who was interviewed andworthy of a second glance is DaveKneeshaw. He spieled off a fab-ulous list of periodicals which hedigests, along with three sand-wiches, a bottle of milk, and aradio.

"At nightIdon't read, I'm outon the hunt," said Mr. Kane, ofthe Commerce and Finance De-partment. Be thatas it may,we'restill mystified.

Mary Kendrick, Thespianextra-ordinaire, dramatically told us shehas "a flair for 'Flair."

Helen Duffy and Jack Pain canbe classed as "serious" readers. Inaddition tohis French4,Jack readsa cultural novel now and then;and Helen belongs to the Book-of-the

-Month Club, the Literary

Guild, has a Seattle PublicLibrarycard and uses theSU library. Thismakes her Campion Hall's fore-most bookworm.

Inreply to the "leisurereading"question, Jackie Kniess said, withtypical efficiency, "No time. Ireadnothing but. the classics. The rea-son is obvious — I'm a Lit major."

"When time permits Iread po-etry," said Marianne Myers. "Myfavorite poet is myself,"she added.You can't argue with that; Mari-annehas been, as the saying goes,"published" twice.

Joan Frohmader modestly toldus she reads her own articles mthe SPEC and is too busy for any-thing else.

The sanest comment made, withthe exception of Mr. McNaugh-ten's, who reads "anything inter-esting and readable," was voicedby Father James Royce. Whenasked his opinion of best-sellers,Father hastily lookedat his watchand announced he was now 29minutes late for lunch. With thathe was gone.

For those who are looking fora message, conclusion, moral, ortruth m this article, there is justone word of caution. Don't!

the donut " >""* dennehy

The donuc is a funny thing. Its consumption by college studentsis exceededonly by that of cigarettes, but unlike the smoking habit,its dominant forcem the life of the average scholar is not sufficientlyrecognized. Yet it is hard to find many students who do not come mdaily contact withitm some formoranother. The donut is familiar toall of us; to those who delightfully digest its savory substance, as wellas the customers who seem satisfied to gentlybrush its flaky trappingsfrom their laps as they depart m haste for their next class.

Why is it that these rings of grease-soaked dough have such atremendouspatronage? The 8-to-12-in-the-Cavephilosophershave ad-vancednumerous theories. The first concerns itself with those whosenormalhabit of awakening does not occur before halfway throughtheir first lecture.For them, breakfastmeans anything convenient toand easy to swallowwithout the benefit of parted eyelids; and for thistype, the donutis the solution.

Another theorypresents a probablesolution for those whoactuallyexercise freedomof choicem regard to their morning repast. They arethe oneswhoselfishly holdup the linewhile they try to decidewhetherto choose the sugared or the glazed, or maybe the kind with lusciouschocolate frosting dripping: down the sides.The donut, for them is achallenge, a momentousdecision.

The third theory is psychological, and can usually be explainedbythe pecuniary position of the ordinary student. It has been observedhow quick we are to snatch up a bargain, and how slow to pass upsomething acquired for nothing. Inour present system coffee costs tencents, but includedm thisprice isa donut.However,if we do nothap-pen to want the extraesculent appetizer,we still pay a dime.The re-sult psychologically is that the student feels cheated m-passing up this"bargain". Could thisbethe reason why so many donuts are "sold",orwhy John and his associates are continually clearing away so manyuntouched tidbits?

Be thatas itmay, facts are facts, and statistics and bakeries' salesrecords show that these comestiblepastriesare devouredm unbeliev-able quantities by all pursuers of intellectual superiority.

By JOHN BLEWETTSpring sports at SUhavehad a none toobusy schedule due toour

lasting winter weather.The few ventures undertaken have been sat-isfactory, though, and seems to indicatethat when the sun does finallyshine, itwill focus its rayson quite a few Chieftain victories

It was with genuine delight that our six-man golf team outspedWashington State around West Seattle'smuddy course to notch a one-sided 18-9 victory andpartially avenge thestinging basketballdefeatthe Cougars inflicted on our Chiefs last fall. The sextet, a completelyveteran aggregation, appearedunbeatable m coming from behind tocapture the victory. If the same six can squeeze by Washington thisSaturday, their season willbe an early success.

Our netmen havebeen afflictedwithdark skies and wet courts, anda victory over St. Martin's and a close loss to P.L.C. comprise theirseason'srecordthus far. New additionsare expected to bolsterthe vet-eran members and produce a winning team. The loss of lettermenmakes the racketmen anunpredictable force.

And what about poor old baseball? The diamondmen have per-formed twice m the mistand two games are already on the make-uplist. The boys looked sharp m trouncing Central Washington 6-3 dis-playing unhearalded hitting power. A smooth hurling job by FrankVena gave new hopefor dependablemoundservice,and if hitting andpitching strengthen together, few outside clubs will be able to worktheir way around the home team. The thing the squad members needmostright nowis sunshineand a chance toshow theirstuff.They Can, and They Can't

Quite a few freshmen are holding down positions on the baseballteam thisspring and areperformingm a capablemanner.They possessall the poise and ability of experiencedcollege players and fit into theteampatternperfectly.

With this m mind, many fans have expressed the opinion that thefreshmancould do just as wellm basketballas members of thevarsity.This issue willprobably neverbesettled, for the regulationstands thatfrosh arenot eligible for varsity basketball.For that matter the fresh-manbasketballteams of the past few years havegained fame m theirown circle and have served as an attraction to graduating high-schoolplayers. Inboth ways the freshmen have proved their worth, andnomatter which is the better, SU seems to be getting the most out of itsfrosh talent.Intramural Fastball Saved

The intramural fastball league will operate once again this yearwith six teams entered. Earlymeetings had failed to draw a responseand it was feared that the program wouldhave to be abandoned.Ouronly hope nowis that the seasbiTs schedule produces as many excitingand hard-fought games as did its twopredecessors this year, football

and basketball.

The Mark of SuccessA few weeks ago our main hall

was decorated with six or seventrophies of various shapes andsizes. The only thing similar aboutthem was that they allhadthe fig-ure of a skier on them and wereengraved for first or second placewinners. The ski team's regularvisits to the mountains this win-ter were responsible for the novelcollection and with the ambitionand ability of the squad membersmview,manymore awards willbeadded to the stock m the nextyear or two.

Seattle U. sports followers werenot longm recognizing the writerof the account of lastFriday'sbase-ball game m the Seattle Times.Jack McLavey, former Spec sportseditor is now a member of theTimes sports staff and will morethan likely cover many of the SUgames m the future.

Chieftains' LeadingBatsman Likes

Dem Bums'By FRED CORDOVA

"Who do you think'll take theWorld Series, Dave!" And he an-swers, "Brooklyn, of course!"

That's from David Frank Piro,who was born m Seattle and haslived m Hollywood and Denver.He was graduated from ODea m1947.

As a college frosh he landed ajob as the regular1 center-fielderon the varsity baseball team. Lastyear he did better, for he led theChief batters, witha.388 average

—the highest of the season. And hemanaged to keep the center spot.During the summer heplayedwithanother Chief, Bob Bivins, on theSeattle Eagles' nine.

To make room for other pros-pects, Brightman shifted Dave toright-field. This season he hasbeen at bat 15 times, getting fourhits and batting m five runs.

Only five feet nine inches andweighing 170, Piro is learning towield a scalpel as wellas a bat.Maybe he can send home morepeople from an office than at thebatter's plate.

Fr. James Gilmorereturned this■week to teach psychology, aftergiving missionsm variousparishesduring Lent.

Haney DefendsNew Balk Rule

By BILL SEARSBaseball'sone-second balk rule,

which paralled the now defuncttwo-minnutebasketballregulationas thebiggest controversialissuemathletics,brought amixedresponsefrom members of the Hollywoodbaseball team, m town this weekfor their series with Seattle.

Most outspokenm defense of thebalk rule, is FredHaney, managerof the Stars, who believes that the"lost art" of base running will beaided, if not brought back to thediamond game.

"It's just as simple as pie." saidthe boss of the defending: PacificCoast league champions, "and Ican't understand why pitchers arehaving any trouble with it. Thepitcher takes his stretch, comes toa stop, looks at first and thenpitches."

"Making that stop," Haney con-tinued, "enables the baserunnertoget an eyen break.Before, all thepitcherhad to do was to makehisstretch, glance at the runner andgo right through with his pitch.Meanwhile, the runner was stillleaning towardshis base and wasoff balance, almost eliminating hischance to steal a base."

The men who labor on themound, however, have differentopinions about the value of thebalk rule. They feel that the ten-dency at present is to hinder thepitchers, and that the balk regu-lation, like the new strike zone,isjust another measure to curb theirefficiency. The moundsmen alsofeel that it was unfair to enforcea rule that had laid dormant solongm the rule book.

Haney,however,is one manager

who feels that his pitchers willhavelittle orno trouble at allwiththe balk rule.

"Ihave all my hurlers practicem frontof amirror and they workon it every night," Haney said."There's just noexcuse for makingbalks, new rule or not."

And so the battle rages. What-ever happens, the future of theone-second balk rule is going tobe stormy, at least for a shorttime.

Aesthetic Value of UglinessDebated m SU Radio Series

Jackie Kniess and Bill Guppy,SeattleUniversity Philosophy Clubmembers, chose "The Art of theUgly" as last Sunday morning'sKJR broadcast topic.

"The art of the ugly is thatschool of painting which repre-sents that which is ugly or de-formed, as contrasted to represent-ing the beautiful,"said MissKniessm her initial statement.

"This is to bedistinguished frominferior art, which is a lack oftechnique on the part of the artistor an inferiorrepresentation,"saidGuppy.

"The primary object of art isto please,"maintainedMissKniess.

She held that the art of the ugly [does not do this.

At this point Father Owen M.McCusker, broadcast moderator,questioned Miss Kniess regardingthe fact that even though an ar-tist's choice of subject did not

'please,it might be possible for his Jtechnique to be pleasing to theobserver.

With certain reservations, MissKniess said this was true.

"That which is ugly is just asreal as that which is beautiful," _said Guppy. He added that the '

realists portray these things asthey are.

In the art of the ugly the artist 1shows his individual expression. 1He brings forth feelings of sorrow !and pity, which are aesthetically 1good, said Guppy. !
