Advantages OfSummer QuarterStressed By Dean

College Hall announces itsfirst formal dance, the May-flower Prom, to be held in asouthern setting in the Col-lege Hall Ballroom, on theevening of April 29.

Pat Travers, chairman ofthe dance, is working withcommittees in charge of re-freshments, decorations andprograms. Committee headsare respectively VirginiaWalker, Margaret Eberle, andLorraine Brule.

Though this is the firstsuch prom held at CollegeHall, Mrs. Grace Fisher,housemother,shared the girls'hope that the MayflowerProm will be established asan annual event of the Springmid-term.

Margaret Eberle, in chargeof decorations, reveals thatthe deep-South theme hasbeen chosen in order that lo-cal cotton planters will feelat ease.

The orchestra will be fromout of town.

The schedule for the sum-mer session has just been re-leased and again Seattle Col-lege is offering a completequarter of studies. The twomonths from June 19 to Au-gust 18 will give students avaluable opportunity to ac-celerate their college educa-tion.

Enrollment in the Confra-ternity of the Scapular willtake place tomorrow, for allthose who have not been in-vested with the scapular ofOur Lady of Mound Carmel.

In order to belong to theConfraternity, one must firstbe invested with the clothscapular. Later, he may wearthe scapular medal, providedit has had the five scapularblessings. The candidate doesnot gain the indulgences andprivileges unless he conformsto these conditions. The nameof the enrollee should be re-corded, but this may be dis-pensed with by a special Jes-uit privilege.

Sabbatine Privilege. Besides the many plenaryand partial indulgences con-nected with the scapular, thewearer may also enjoy theSabbatine privilege. By thisprivilege, any member of theConfraternity will be releasedfrom Purgatory on the firstSaturday after his death, pro-vided he has abstained frommeat on Wednesdays as wellas on Fridays. However, thisabstinence may be omittedwith special permission of aJesuit confessor, who willsubstitute some other piouswork.

In view of the many pri-vileges and blessings to begained, all who have not beenenrolled in the Confraternityare urged to do so. Especiallyimportant is the fact that onedoes not gain the indulgencesby merely wearing themedal;he must be formally invested.

Investing will be held byFather Axer in.the chapel at12:00 Thursday. Any scapul-ar medals which have not re-ceived the necessary fiveblessings will also be blessed.

Students of S. C. will witness the fiercest courtroom battlein recent history of the College, when onMay 2, His HonorJudge Edwin Read, circuit court 13, will call the case ofSeattle College versus Jeanne Tangney.

By which the Gavel Club announces its annual Mock Trial,an activity wherein the serious character of the debatingorganization is dropped for an evening of light entertain-ment. The proceedings, scheduled for May 2, at 8:00 p. m.,in the K. of C. Hall, will consist of a parody on courtroomroutine, involving members of the student body.

The nature of the crime ofwhich this year's defendant,Miss Tangney, willbe accusedmust remain a secret, thoughit is hinted by the Gavel Clubthat the felony is of vital con-cern to every student of Se-attle College. Prosecuting At-torney Mary Ellen McKillopdeclares an air-tight case hasbeen drawn up against theal-leged criminal, through evi-dence produced by witnesses,to be produced during thetrial.

Seeking to vindicate theculprit will be Defense-Attor-ney Fred Dore, who assertsthat he will offer evidencewhich will indisputably invali-date the charges against hisclient. It has been hinted thatMr.Dore will produce as Ex-hibit A a surprise witnesswho will cinch the case, butno definite verification or re-pudiation of the report hasbeen obtained from the barri-ster in question.

Jurists will be hand-pickedfrom among the audience.Judge Read will announce ac-quittal or pronounced sen-tence,according to the verdictsubmitted by the jury.

No statement has beenmade as to whether this de-fendant will plead guilty orinnocent.

VIEW POINT andCOUNTERPOINT

Is your copyof Artie Shaw's"Begin the Beguine," gettinggray circles under its groovesfrom too many turns around?Does Joe Stafford's voice getfuzzy on Tommy Dorsey's"Yes Indeed," where some-body once parked his gum onthe grooves? If your swingrecord library is showing thesigns of wear and tear, RCAVictor has a remedy in therelease of a socko new albumentitled "Up Swing." "UpSwing is a set of eight rec-ords tracing the history ofswing from 1936 to 1943.There is a record for eachyear and that record is thesmash hit of the year playedby the top band: for instance,for the 1936 release, Victorhas included Benny Goodmanand "Stompin' at the Savoy";for '37, Tommy Dorsey plays"Song of India"; and for '38,Benny Goodman returns with"Don't Be That Way."

Artie Shaw bows in with"Begin the Beguine," for1939. Glenn Miller nods with"Tuxedo Junction" for '40,and Tommy Dorsey stealsthe baton again for 1941 withthe jive spiritual "Yes In-deed." Shaw returns in 1942with his version of "Oh LadyBe Good," and Miller trucksout with "A Stringof P«arls,"the last side in a swell col-lection.

"Stardust" is still hittingthe top. Artists like the"Groaner," the "Voice," andGlen Miller have made superrecordings of it. Perry Comohas come up with a swell re-cordingof "ILove You";hisrendition ought to push thesong over the top. TommyDorsey's "WeH Get It" is stilla swing hit. This recording

Linoleum portrait by rabin.

"Cobb, you are elected to be senior of the week; will yousee Stan about your cut?"

"Me. Why don't you give it to Louise or Elaine?""Well, we can't get you all in one cut!""Well, I'd rather you'd have Smyth.""Louise Smyth, would you give me an interview? You

have been chosen senior of the week.""Really,Ihaven't time to have my picture cut; why don't

you give it to Sullivan or Cobb?""Sullivan, the Spectator has named you"— well, you see

how it goes with these feminine counterparts of the "ThreeMuskateers." They truly are "one for all, and all for one."

Louise Smyth was born in Spokane, Cobb "down on thefarm" in CentraUa and Elaine Sullivan was born in Tacomaand all were born in 1922 within six weeks of one another.Sullivan and Smyth graduated together from St.Leo's HighSchool in Tacoma, and Cobb from HolyAngels in Seattle.Smith, Cobband Sullivan areone of the most successful cor-porations ever formed at Seattle College. These girls willgraduate together this June as they entered together fouryears ago, and all with aB.S. inchemistry.

So you see, we couldn't hope to separate them as seniorsof the week if four years together in the chem lab

—their

corny jokes (which only they can understand) practicallyliving together and the trials and tribulations of "Betsy,"Louise's "convertable" (it takes six men and four boys toconvert it)— if all this couldn't separate them, how couldwe?

Elaine SulHvan is the most literary minded of the three.Cobb is the most intelligent,and Louise is the worrier. Elaineand Cobb call her "liberty-jibberty." Cobb likes Frank Sin-atra and Smith likes BSng Crosby—

while Elaine is an ar-dent admirer of R. J. Walsh's column. Smith suggested it—

and Elaine and Lorraine echoed her idea—

that this articleshould be three times as long. Lorraine is secretary of Sil-ver Scroll, and both of them were co-chairmen of the verysuccessful 1944 Homecoming. Elaine has high blood pres-sure, so the other two refuse to let her overexert herself

—so she sat home in bed and drank hot milk, brought to herby Louise and Lorraine, while she contacted the S. C. alumsto make the Homecoming the success it was.

Elaine has to bring her blood pressure down 12 points toenable the three of them to achieve their ultimate coordinat-ed act, for in June, 1944, Smyth, Cobb, and Sullivan will en-ter into the service of Uncle Sam, as ensigns in the Waves.

Good luck to three swell girls of whom S. C. can alwaysbe proud!

R.J. W.There is a particularly unworthy element in this city

which could well afford a few words of discouragement.These people, through no merits of their own,have gainedthe time-honored title of "critics." This complimentaryphrase has proved, in this case, to be the greatest misnomerin the history of Northwest journalism. After consumingeveral years of their "gooeyreviews" (and comparing themvith the productions)*Ihave come to the conclusion thathese laudatoring ladies and gentlemen of the press wouldyen have something nice to say about Hell! (2nd choice,

Hades; 3rd choice, Castor Oil.) The situation has passed theoint of being amusing and has precipitated itself into one,rand delusion.-The straw that broke the pig's back was their reaction to

ast weeks messy attempt at Romberg's melodious "BlossomTime." The reviewers' poetic slop was almost too fantasticto imagine, when paralleled with such an amateurish farce.They filled their columns with such delicious words as : "Themusic was delightful," "The orchestra gave a spirited per-formance," "The cast was in top form." To these famous lastwords mayIadd: the music was ghastly, the orchestra wassqueekingly and painfully noticeable, and the cast gave thebest imitation of a grade-school musical comedy Ihaveever seen. Really, it was delightful. In fact, the air hadapeculiar odor to it, due, no doubt, to the vulgar insinuationsbeing tossed to the foaming galleries. If we have to enduremany more such outrageous performances Seattle will loseall faith in the American Stage, at least that part of it that

One of the largest MendelClub meetings of the year isbeing planned for tonight at7:45 in room 6. The bi-month-ly gathering will open withthe election of new officersand the preparation of plansfor their annual picnic. Presi-dent Leon Sayer announcedthat the meeting isbeingheldto introduce new members tothe club's activities. Listed onthe program is a talk to bepresented by Miss Eula Butz-erin, Red Cross public healthnurse,and a radio play whichhas been released through anational cancer organization.

Membership is open to allscience students.

It looks like our softballteam is going to have a two-week setback. Last week theboys had more things to dothan play some ball, and thisweek exams will make the.athletes head for the libraryrather than Broadway Field.Anyway, Coach Father Car-mody is planning a game forMay 5, just to find out whatkind of players he's got.

"Rather than to jeopardizethe athletic name Seattle Col-lege attained during basket-ball season, I'm going to haveto find out what kind of ma-terial we've got before westart playing our games. Ifbad goes to worse, I'llhave todraft the basketball teamback into action. Ithink wecould have a good team withthese boys, because they areall good athletes, andIcandepend on them."

Tohelp Father's good wish-es come true,all who want topractice a little in the after-noons, outside of ordinarypractice, can obtain the batand ball from Father's officewithout his permission.

The late start of the TennisTournament was due to thesmall number of contestants,and to Homecoming week ac-tivities. This year only twen-ty-five are competing for thetitle, while last year therewas such a large number ofcontestants that school endedbefore the final match wasplayed. This year we will besure of crowning (papercrown) the winner in fullstyle and customs before thatgraduation date.

Preparations for the Home-coming Ball and activitiesduring the week led the chair-man, Chuck McHugh, to post-pone the opening date till thisweek, remarking, "Ratherthan to run into any conflictit is better to wait a week;also that perfectHomecomingBall might make the boyswant to play tennis ratherthan the pin-ball machines."

The complete schedule canbe found on the L.A. bulletinboard, so all who are partici-pating can find out who theyplay and report the scores tothe chairman as soon as pos-sible.Gavel Club

The last meeting of theSilver Scroll was held Thurs-day evening, April 13, at thehome of Betty Wright, andproved to be the busiestmeet-ing yet held. Themost impor-tant business before the club,was the forthcoming Dad-Daughter banquet to be heldat the Gowman Hotel on May9th at 6:30 p. m. The finalplans were presented andvoted upon as to the limita-tion of reservations, thatheme of the decorations, theorder of the program and 'theentertainment. These mattershavingbeen settled, the com-mittee relinquished the floorto other pressing matters.

Service FlagThe Service Flag was again

reviewed and the final planshave been put in the hands ofthe Moderator, Dr. HelenWerby. Its appearance will bemade in mid-May on the Eastwall of the second floor of theLiberal Arts Building, besidethe door of the Chapel.

The Silver Scroll Scrapbookwas reported to be progress-ing well and to be a clear andconcise history of SilverScroll with clippings, pic-tures, and anecdotes of itsmembers, old and new.

The new and highly impor-!tant business,of selecting twonew pledges to fill the avail-able vacancies then tookplace. Those to be so honoredwere notified by mail and in-troduced at the College Stu-dent Body meetingof lastweek. They were Jeanne Tan-gney, Sociology Major, andthis year's editor of the Spec-tator; and Mary Jane Kelly,a nursing major now in train-ing at Providence Hospital.They will be initiated at thenext regular meeting, on May4th.

One of the most interestingstudent body meetings thisyear was held lastWednesdayin the council chambers ofCasey Hall. Highlighted bythe sterling performance ofthe Drama Guild players,the theme of the meeting wasa cordial and urgent invita-tion to Homecoming.The skitby Mary (Have you boughtyour ticket yet) Ward andMessers Rabin and Walsh,the speeches by the chairmenof the committees, and an-nouncement of the queen andprincesses for the spectacleall built up this, the biggestdance of the year.

Music PresentedEntertainment was furnish-

ed by the music departmentin the form of selections bythe gills' trio, a solo by Lor-raine Besagno, and a beauti-ful violin rendition of "Medi-tation" from Thais by Cor-delia Keppinger.

Then, speaking for TomPettinger, Marguerite LaVoytold of the progress on theplaque for servicemen, andexpresed hope that within amonth the new plaque will becompleted and dedicated.

Announcement of pledgesto the Silver Scroll (MaryJane Kelly, now a nurse atProvidence,and Jeanne Tang-ney, Junior social science ma-jor) was followed by a dia-logue on the new grading sys-tem between Don Burke andRalph Zech, medical honoraryinitiates.

As the last new business,Cay Mayer announced thelong-heralded Dan 'n Daugh-ter banquet as definitelyscheduled; and all the girlsand their fathers were cor-dially invited. Then, the busi-ness at hand completed andeleven o'clock limit approach-ing fast, the meeting was ad-journed for another month.

SodalityAttracted by the promise of

a controversial topic for dis-cussion, a large group of So-cialists gathered in the K. C.Hall last Wednesday for thebi-monthly meetingof the Le-gion of Mary. After medita-tion and rosary, Eileen Ryangave a short talk on St. Cath-erine of Sienna, describingher life from young girlhooduntil her death as one of thegreat saints of the Church.Anita Yourglich then exhort-ed all the Sodalists to enrollfor their scapular medals,pointing out the many gracesand benefits gained fromwearing them.

The discussion selected forthe evening was on the levelof sanctity of thc Catholicwoman and its relation to thenumber of vocations to the re-ligious life. Due to the. widescope of the question, a reso-lution was not settled upon;but the same topic will be dis-cussed at the next meeting.After the meeting proper, themembers adjourned to thelower chambers for an hourof dancing, to the strains ofGene Lombardi's nickelodeonIselections.

:

Browsing through a magazine the other day, we hit upona statement that caught our fancy, "Imagination is an ideain overalls." The thought is good, but

— imagination? Itdoesn't seem quite the proper term. So we will substituteour own term, perhaps a little less poetic, less phonetic,butone we deem closer to the truth

— objective effort.Notice it is more than mere "Effort." A good deal of ef-

fort is just wasted energy and ill-used time. It is nothingmore than the result of a slip-shod method of doing things,when a little thought and planning could accomplish theminone neat stroke. People who make the most effort aren'talways the most deserving of credit.

Objective effort is a different thing. It is work with amotive behind it,and a goal before it. It is a striving to ac-complish, an endeavor to achieve. It is progress towardthe attainment of an ideal.

That is why wesay that objective effort is an idea in over-aJls. An idea is no more than an abstract image, so long asit remains only in the mind. It can go nowhere, reachno one, do nothing. It is only when it puts on overalls andgets to work in a physical way, when it begins to produceobjective activity that itbecomes a thingof use to the world.

Too many ideas are white collar thoughts. They pass in-fancy, youth, and old age without ever stepping outside therecesses of the human mind. Buried treasures are lost tothe world, because men fail to put their ideas in overalls, topick up the shovel,anddig for them.

There is inspiration in watching a man sweat, in witness-ing progress made, in seeing a goalachieved, because wher-ever these things are being done it is a sign that behind itall ideas are at work*

O'Neill.Without sacrificing editorial independence or their right

to make independent judgments, editors and staff membersof this newspaper agree to unite with all college newspapersof the nation to support, wholeheartedlyand by every meansat their command, the government of the United States inthe war effort, to the end that the college press of the na-tion maybe a united Voice for Victory.

one's soul, and which servesfor the Sacrament of Bap-tism? Or the trees? Stout,strong, widespread,sokindly,who wouldnot bless them? Itwas wood that the Cross ofOur Lord was made ef! Orthe fire, warm, glowing,sparkling? Ilove the waterand the fire.

"Whenever a fire is dying,my heart yearns as thoughsome beloved being was de-parting. Iwould never blowout a lantern or a candle forIwould grieve for the flame!"Such is St. Francis in "Bless-ed Are the Meek."

POMES ...TWILIGHTDaypausesto liftthe curtainto have one lastlookat light.

Olympus reposes,day at end—in a rosybed ofdowny clouds.'—

June Peterson.

In an obscure little bookshop in Manhattan lay the Polishversion of "Blessed are the Meek." Discovered here by Han-nah and Marian Kister, its original publishers, it was trans-lated and achieved immediate success. .

The scope of the book iswide and reveals a compre-hensive knowledgeof the tur-bulent thirteenth century. Itis the romantic tale of Jeande Briennc and CountessIBlanche of Navarre, whoselove according to the Code ofAmour "was above all law."It is an adventure tale of thefifthattempt to recapture theHoly Land, highlighted by avivid depiction of the battlebetween and Franks andMos-lems at Damietta. It is an im-aginative description of thetragic Children's Crusade. Itis the story of the influenceof St. Francis and his life ac-cording to the Gospel, uponall with whomhecame incon-tact. Even when St. Francisis not actually present, thereader feels the spirit of hisholinesspermeating the deedsand life of every character.

Whether due to the transla-tion or not, St. Francis ismade to seem unduly simple.In her effort to emphasize hismeekness, Zofia Kossak hasmade him almost childishlynaive. However she has cap-tured the intense quality ofhis love for every createdthing in these words:

"To hate nature, to hateplants, beasts, all that theLord has created with suchmiraculous love and care? Oh,brother, how dreadful! Howcan one loathe water, so cool,so soothing, so clear? Waterthat washes one's body as theSacrament of Penance washes
