T h e r e are few men in the his-ory of P r o v i d e n c e Col lege who iave made as many fr iends, and lave had as m u c h influence as t la l B r o w n . M a n y col leges have lad respected and a d m i r e d rainers , but few have been as pr ivi leged as P C . i n h a v i n g one Ui.i exempl i f i ed a l l that was

good and manly , as w e l l as be­ing sympathe t ic and respond­ing. H e t r u l y is representa t ive of C a r d i n a l N e w m a n ' s idea of the perfect gent leman.

M a i was bo rn in 1905 i n A m ­herst . Massachuset ts . A f t e r g radua t ing f rom h igh school , he at tended Connec t i cu t State C o l ­lege for two years. T h e n , to the great advantage of P . C . he en­r o l l e d here at P . C . W h i l e he was here , he became a conver t to C a t h o l i c i s m . H i s fa i th was the t h ing he took most ser ious ly throughout the r ema inde r of his short l i fe . E v e r y m o r n i n g , he c o u l d be seen at Mass and Com­m u n i o n .

W h i l e a student, M a i became qu i t e at tached to P . C . H e c o u l d not bear to leave it. H e never d i d , spend ing the rest of his l i f e s e rv ing the school i n the a thle t ic depar tment . H e became the off ic ia l t r a ine r for a l l the school 's teams. Bu t more than that, he became a m o d e l and an i n sp i r a t i on for the athletes, a n d indeed, for a l l who met h i m . T w o th ings that M a i wore con­s tant ly were his smi l e and h is derby. A t that t ime the a th le t ic ofTices were located i n H a r k i n s H a l l , and the story is that when he l aughed he c o u l d be heard a l l over H a r k i n s H a l l . F a t h e r Nag le says that when M a i l aughed it comple te ly f i l led the ro tunda , and i n spite of the archi tec t ' s dreams, he w o u l d never aga in th ink of that place as so lemn.

A s a t ra iner , M a i had charge of the phys i ca l fitness of the athletes. B u t , he is r emembered far more for the he lp he gave to t roub led , d iscouraged, and homes ick minds and hearts, than the r e l i e f w h i c h he gave to

— Editorials —

Leadership "Cooperation with all" is part of the editorial policy

o f this pajH-r. In order to obtain complete campus cover­age we K M the "cooperation of all." Failure in this re­spect has resulted in a weaker bond between the students and the organizations. What has happened to all the campus and regional cluhs? Do they no longer have club secretaries whose duty it is to see that the particular clubs receive adequate coverage? Or do they no longer have functions? Is it indifference, lethargy, ignorance, <>r shiimc that is the cause of this dilemma? Is there no pride in these organizations, or are their members only

interested in seeing " - - club 1, 2, 3, 4" after their names in the Veritas?

Intelligent management is the responsibility of the officers cif these various clubs. Malfeasance in this regard is not only a personal thing, but it is an injustice to the club and to all those concerned. These administrators then, are either ignorant of the responsibilities of office, or they irres|H»nsibly regard the prosperity of their clubs. In concise form, they are ignorant or irresponsible.

The remedy lies in the corrective measures which I D i i - 1 I t a k e n by the active members; either by moderately informing these so-called leaders, or by dras­tically removing them.

iccidents Of Birth . . . The situation which has developed in the southern

I arts (>f uur country is one which has brought shame to our great nation, and made us look foolish in the eyes of the rest d the world. If the situation were not s o serious, it would almost be funny. Color, after all, o n a purely phil'-op .,: basis, is only an accident. The person who l»se.s his judgement of others on the basis o f it, does nol degrade the one whom he judges, but only himself.

01 course, to I>e entirely fair, we must admit that the Sooth doe< have a great problem. The question of integration involves more than the "we're white, they're black" issue that the extremists and white supremists •wsh to make it In many parts o f the South the colored I*o|ile are not financially or educationally on a par with their white neighbors, because thev have not had the op­portunity to be s o . O n the other hand. few. if any. con­structive steps have been taken to give these people the rights, nor privileges, granted them by Christian prin­ciples and the Constitution o f the United States.

While integration does not have to be a sudden sweeping change, progress must be made constantly, even if slowly. I n the North, we are fortunately of a mentality that judges a person on his own merits, and not on the accidentals o f his birth. It was not alwavs so, and in some places still is not. So. before we judge too harshlv let u> examine our own backyards, and remove all ves­tige- Of prejudice from them. U is the college and col­lege graduates, educated men. who should take the lead i n this matter. This is an attitude taken by Providence College even from its earliest days, indeed even when some of the so called liberal or free-thinking "Ivy League" schools still had very definite prejudices against the Negro, and even against the Catholic. From the be­loved Mai Brown right down the line to our present Negro students, P. C. has made no distinction and has loved, and been as proud of them as it has been of any others.

Freshmen W i l l Attempt To Overthrow Soph Opponents

T o m o r r o w afternoon the an­nual tug of war between the f reshman and sophomore class w i l l be he ld at H e n d r i c k e n F i e l d . A l l f reshman are urged to at tend, as a v ic tory wou ld mean the doffing of the t radi­t ional beanies. E v e r y freshman should par t ic ipate in the event, or at least get out there and cheer the class on. The class of '61 has a P . C . t rad i t ion to l ive up to. V i n F e r r a i o l i act ing president of the freshman class, sums it up i n these words, " N o freshman class has ever lost the tug of war. K e e p the frosh tra­d i t i on a l ive . O v e r w h e l m the sophs w i t h your fine sp i r i t and wi l l i ngness to w i n . Y o u can w i n , you must w i n . " V i n also let it be known that a l l f reshmen should attend i n order to field the best possible team against the sophs. It w i l l be a mark against the class, w h i c h has thus

far shown fine sp i r i t and en­thusiasm, if the sophomores emerge victor ious. One-hundred per cent f reshman attendance w o u l d assure a better chance for v ic tory . If the class loses, the frosh must wear the i r beanies for one more week.

The f o l l o w i n g rules concern­ing the event have been an­nounced:

1. A n equal number of fresh­men and sophomores w i l l oppose each other.

2. A l l f reshmen must wear the i r beanies i n order to part icipate.

3. N o cleats of any k i n d may be w o r n .
