FROSH DANCE MONDAY NIGHT

Spirit of St. Patrick Re igns S u p r e m e at Annual

Shin-Dig

The Freshman Class will hold its annua l Frosh Hop nex t Monday evening. March 16. in Hark ins Hall.

On Monday night when the pale moon is shining above the green val-lies and the spirit of Saint Pat r ick comes fo r th to rove o'er the hills and dales of the Emerald Isle as well as th rough the lands whereve r an Irish hear t beats, the catching music of old Erin will float wi th the breezes as they waf t the i r way over the Bradley hill. Su re and the re in Hark ins Hall a goodly number of lads and lassies will be having the t ime of thei r lives. The hall will be l ike a bi t of the "ould sod" t ransfe r red over he re jus t fo r this shin-dig. All th rough the hall gay green and white s t reamers wi th shamrocks and harps aplenty will d r ape to a large hoop in the center and Caed Mile Fial te will be the greeting. Jus t under the hoop will rest a great map of Eire on the r ight of which a Dominican f r i a r will be s i t t ing and viewing the proceed-ings wi th delight as a f reshman sits across f rom him. These two will symbolize the theme of the evening. "I re land, the Land of Saints and Scholars."

Then up by the end of the hall a band of musicians will be swinging it out unde r the shellelaigh of that son of Erin. Tiny Quinn. For those who long for just a bit of some Irish " j ive" the band has promised some real good Gaelic. While the dancers whi r l over the floor their eyes will feast upon the cartoons which sur-round the hall and which depict the various t roubles of f reshman life But. the f reshmen and their guests who at tend this a f fa i r will spend thei r evenings with divil a worry for the next day.

Such will be the a r rangements for the annual Frosh Hop to be held next Monday evening. Saint Patr ick s Eve. in Hark ins Hall. The commit tee has issued a warn ing that those who want to at tend the dance had bet ter get the i r cards as soon as possible be-cause the prospect of an evening of en joyment plus the lack of wor ry for the next day's classes Is inducing many to make reservations.

John Young is the chairman of the committee which is conducting the sole social activity of the Freshman Class Members of the committee are : George Coyne, William Mee. Domenic Di Falco. and the class offiicers; Joseph Anlauf , president; David M. Tracy, vice-president; Robert Mc-Govern. secretary. and John C. Car-ragher. t reasurer Paul Cavanaugh.

Vaughn Monroe who will appear at the Junior Prom. April 20.

The Day We Celebrate On Tuesday we celebrate St. Patr ick 's Day . This year

wartime's vicissitudes will perhaps stifle the social festivities of the day, but they will not dull its spirit.

St. Patr ick, we all know, was not a Gael by birth; al-though he became an Ir ishman by adoption. Yet . St. Patrick may be said to belong to Ireland. F o r it was to Ireland he gave his all in sowing the seed of Christianity. One portion f rom the abundant f rui t of that seed, a monument to Patrick's zeal, remained in Ireland and preserved the world's heritage of culture while the rest of Europe groveled in spiritual and mental darkness. Another portion left the "ould sod" and carried the seed of Ir ish to the four corners of the globe. The Irish distinguished themselves in the Orient as well as in the Levant .

Especially in America where they have made invaluable contributions with their brain and brawn, the Irish exempli-fied the synthesis of sainthood and scholarship. Tuesday, on their way to Church to celebrate the feast of this saint of the Universal Church, Americans of Irish descent will think of Pat r ick as they bid their neighbor "the top o' the mornin' ." W h e n they think of Patr ick, their thoughts will tu rn to Ire-land and its present situation.

And then they will say a prayer. They will say a prayer that the Almighty who helped Patrick to christianize the Picts and Scots will give to Eire 's present leaders the strength, the courage, and the faith to see her through the present crisis. Their prayer will be that Eire 's government will determine her destiny with an unselfish spirit, keeping in mind the old watchword, the true Gael's concern—Erin Go Bragh.

The Kilkenney Cats By Seamus O'Doherty

One day, about a week before Christmas, a small crate arr ived at our house, postmarked Dublin. Ire-land Immediately we knew that it was f rom our eccentric uncle, Padriac. Uncle Padr iac lived in America up unti l th ree years ago. But one day while on the job out at the Brewery, he fell into one of the beer vats and almost drowned. The very same night he came home, packed his suit-case. and went back to Ireland with-out ever telling us why.

Well anyway, we opened the pack-age and out tumbled a cat. Yes sir.

a cat. Inside the crate was a note saying that this was one of the fin-est cats in Ireland and to be sure and take good care of him. I remembered that my fa ther commented at the t ime that it was the fat test cat that he had ever seen.

We soon knew why, and you do too, I bet. At any rate, we woke up one morning to discover that our cat was no longer fat. And what had made her so fat were now romping playful ly around the kitchen. My fa ther raged around the house.

A TIME FOR COOL HEADS The next six months or more are going to

constitute the toughest period Americans have ever had to go through. It's going to be tough firstly because the defeats which we have suf-fered up to now will continue and secondly be-cause w e will, as has been the case up to now, be unable to do anything but take it. That's a bitter pill for any people to have to swallow and for Americans it is all the more bitter because it is the first we've had to take.

The plain, hard, cold facts of the matter unmistakably point out that we are not yet ready to give the enemy anywhere near as much as w e take. We simply haven't the tanks, guns, ships, and planes which are needed before we can slap anybody around. These facts are not to be blamed on anybody or anything, specifical-ly. Our whole national setup has had to be com-pletely turned over from peace to war. We've had to raise our production of arms from eighteen percent in the last months of peace to nearly seventy percent of the entire output of our fac-tories. You can't change that overnight no matter how mad you may be.

All this is going to put a lot of nerves on edge. Many of us are going to become testy and let our hearts get control of our heads. Some of us are going to start wondering about these de-feats, these taxes, this inability to return punch for punch. We won't want to accept these set-backs sitting down. There wil l be many who will not see the whys and wherefors of the whole situation. It therefore remains for those who have through education been enabled to see the reasons for our weakness and the neces-sity of working night and day until w e can get enough punch into our attack to slap the enemy right back on their heels to make this known.

Those w h o do know and understand w h y things are as they are wil l have to prevent the national morale from cracking under its most serious test since this young nation first raised its banner. They will have to overcome the prej-udices that will come to the fore. The possibility of impatience developing into hysteria must al-ways be before them. The order of the day is cool heads and clear thinking.

By the educated w e mean those who are

still in college as well as those who are out in the business world. In other words w e mean that the students of this College are faced with that same responsibility. For our country's sake w e will have to think in terms of what is best for its welfare regardless of any prejudice toward our allies or dislike of the situation at home. It's America that counts most and whatever has to be done to preserve her as she is with the chance to improve her must and shall be done. The gang that started this scrap will feel our force all the sooner if we subordinate all else to the end of victory, quick and complete.

ALUMNI NOTES A quick survey of the Donation Day plans

shew that all the committee members and faculty moderators are hard at work completing their organization setup and are ready to roll in the matter of soliciting gifts from the alumni. A f ew classes have already begun to get gifts in, and spirit is high regarding the success of the cam-paign.

Donation Day. as you probably have been in-formed already, is to be held on May 3rd. Gifts are to be in, however, by April 1th. As you hustle to make out your income tax this week-end. remember that next year you will be able to deduct whatever contribution you make to-ward the success of this first annual event.

As often as possible, w e try to run items about our alumni who are in the service. The COWL recently received a letter from Central Falls which gave very complete information about one of our graduates, and we are happy to reprint part of it: "Lt. Walter F. Goldzik, '41, of West Rutland, Vt„ graduated from Providence College with the degree of Bachelor of Philos-ophy in Education. Immediately after his grad-uation, Lt. Goldzik volunteered for service in the U. S. Army Air Corps and was sent for training to East St. Louis. From there, he went to Denver, Colorado, to further his studies. He was graduated as Second Lieut., A. A. C., on Dec. 27th, 1941, and was commissioned for active duty at Manchester, N. H. Later Lt. Goldzik was transferred to Bangor, Me., where he is stationed at present."

That letter gives a concise yet complete ac-tivity record of one of our alumni in the services. We only wish that w e would receive more re-ports like this one.

One other squib w e received via our clipping bureau informs us that Richard H. Mezcejewski of Pittsf ie ld, a graduate of Providence College in the class of 1940, has entered the Army Flying Service and is training at Maxwell Field, Ala-bama. the Southeast Training Center.

A few other items sent along to us by friends concern . . . Anthony "Gig" Pariseau. '39, who is the father of a baby boy born Feb. 26 . . . Fred-erick J. Collins. '38, of New Milford. Conn., who was married to Miss Mary Anne Hulton, also of N e w Milford. on Feb. 14 . . . Edward P. Conaty, '33, who has just returned from a winter visit to Georgia and the Carolinas . . . Charles E. Shea, '32, whose newest child is another prospective P. C. alumnus . . . John Rock. '39. who received his commission last Friday with the 90th division at Camp Barkley, Texas . . . Arthur G. Boardman, '34. who has left his Camp Edwards Base to help with the patrolling of the beach at Ipswich, Mass. . . . Alumni President Ed Quinn, '24. who is going to Amherst College. Amherst. Mass.. for a course in one of the air raid schools . . . John G. Coffee, '33, whose title in the work he is doing for Civil-ian Defense, is the longest w e have run into yet . . . Dr. John L. Baeszler, "31, who spends almost as much time at the college now as he did when he was a student here . . . Daniel McKinnon, '40. recently married, who has relinquished his teach-ing position in the Pawtucket Schools, and joined up with Uncle Sam's finest . . . and John Reavy, '31, who has completed selection of his com-mittee of four representatives of each class, to help him plan for the Communion Breakfast to be held on the morning of Donation Day. May 3rd.

When we come to the end of a long long day (and they a re long now) which has been taken up with the ordinary work of any day, stepped up as it is by the victory program, and which has been punctured again and again by news and reports of war . all of us qui te natural ly seek relief f rom the tension of the day. Now one of the bet ter known con-cepts of an American held by foreigners is that they are a nation of funny-paper readers. And it is t rue; we do like to relax with the comic strips.

In these days when he have to plow through copious accounts of s trategies and b lunders of the war by the t ime we reach the back page and the funnies on it we are thor-oughly sick and t ired of blood and sweat. This reaction, according to many psychologists who have ex-pressed worry over the continutl s t rain which Americans are under-going. is na tura l and a good thing. According to them one of the most important const i tuents of the morale-building programs should be sufficient en te r t a inment to keep the minds of the people ofF those things which cont r ibute to the strain.

Evidently, however , there are some cartoonists who do not give this theory any credence. One of them in par t icular has definitely changed the whole t rend of his cartoon until it has become an obnoxious, hate-filled str ip of something which can-not be called funny by any stretch of the imagination. He seems to th ink that American people do not think that Nazism and the Nazis a re our enemies and as a consequence he fills his cartoon every night wi th propaganda typified by a ha te of the Nazi, which is por t rayed by un-believable victories of t he heroes over brutal , gorilla-like Nazis. We cannot beli t t le his disl ike of the Nazis, but we can decidely question his consideration of his readers.

We do not read the funn ies to f ind hate. On the contrary we seek re-lief f rom the ha te on the f ront page when we tu rn to the back page for the funnies . If the w a r must enter the comics and we fail to see why it shou ld ) ) then let it en ter in a less obvious and dis turbing way. More-over. w h y wouldn ' t it be all the bet-ter for morale if the propaganda in the comics were positive as it is in some of the comic strips? Is the re any benefit to be had by cont inual ly st irr ing ou r hear ts to ha te and the sort of negat ive anger which accom-panies it?

One of the main characterist ics of the war ' s conduct thus f a r has been

In a tilt which failed to live up to pre-game expectations, the Brown Bears downed a game P. C. five 54-45 in Marvel Gym on Wednesday night.

Over-anxiety of the officials to call infractions and weariness of both clubs at the end of difficult schedules caused rather disappointing perform-ances on the part of both competitors.

During the greater part of the first period the lead see-sawed back and forth with the Brunonians pulling away toward half-time to leave the fioor possessing a 31-23 margin.

Roaring back to reduce the deficit to 32-30 at the start of the second half the Friars appeared on the way to victory only to suffer the loss of Larry Drew and Captain Horace Marone on fouls. Both boys had been playing some of the best ball of the season before their departure.

The Friars desperately tried to fight back but they could not stem the scoring tide of the slow, deliberate Bear attack.

INTRAMURALS By JOE ANLAUF

Star t ing off with a bang the an-nual P. C. Intra-Club basketball tournament is a lready in the second stage of the round-robin. Nineteen clubs entered the brawl this year and a hot batt le is expected all the way to the end for top honors.

So fa r this week the outstanding clubs have been the Sparrows, the Newport Club, the Slavic-Stars, and the La Salle Club, last year s tourney champions.

High scorers in the tournament are J im Dunn of Newport , and Lou Siy of the Slavics' with 17 points each.

The drawings for the tourney were announced last week and the en-thusiastic response of the clubs was very grat i fying. The games are played each af ternoon and evening available, and a double defeat is nec-essary to be el iminated f rom the com-petit ion.

So fa r the batt les have been well-played, each club fighting had to keep in the running and remain undefeat-ed, for the winning basketbal lers will receive medals for their outstanding play and school spirit.

At the close of the round-robin, all-tournament first and second teams will be selected f rom the outstanding players of the tourney by the coaches and Head Coach Ed Crotty. Hon-

Start ing off the campaign with a powerhouse scoring attack the varsi ty steamrollered their first nine foes. This uninterrupted win streak inci-dentally was the greatest early season record in the past twenty years of the court game in New England.

Perhaps the outstanding t r iumph of this string was the thril l-packed 60-54 decision over the highly ra ted Rams of Rhode Island State, who this week were invited to the National Inter-collegiate tournament in Madison Square Garden. Before the largest

DEBATING UNION COMPLETES TOUR

Ending the longest and one of the most successful tours in its history, the Providence College Debating Team re turned to the campus last Monday with only one blemish on its record. The t r ip ended Fr iday with a round- table discussion at Tuf t s where our team successfully sup-ported the negat ive side of the labor question.

The Harvard debate, scheduled as a Saturday radio program, was post-poned until a later date at the re-quest of Station WAAB On Thurs-day the team suffered its only de-feat when it debated the University of Maine at Bangor before the Ki-wanis Club. There the decision was rendered by the audience. The Bates and John Marshall debates were, by previous arrangement, non-decision affairs. Drew University, Villanova. St. Vincent's University of Con-necticut, and Tufts were the unsuc-cessful opponent of the Providence representatives. At these debates our team defended both sides of the labor question.

At New Brunswick. N. J., a round robin debate was held in which Rut-gers, St. Vincent, and Providence participated. Charles F. Cottam and Matthew Kelly gave the constructive speech for the affirmative of the labor proposition, while two repre-sentatives of St. Vincent's supported the negative. One Rutgers student joined each squad and gave its re-buttal.

The team met eight colleges and travelled over 1200 miles. Those who made the trip were: Charles F. Cot-tam. '43. Matthew Kelly. '43. and John Davitt, '44.

it's negativeness. We have hated the Nazis more than we loved freedom We have spent far more time ex-pressing our hate than we have in concerning ourselves with the re-moval of the cause of that hate.. We have all been thinking in terms of howe we shall defend ourselves against this evil rather than how to remove it.

We wonder how much longer the cartoonists-turned-propagandists will keep disturbing the funny-page with their axe-grinding attempts to be-come great patriots in the yees of all the people. The fellows who con-tinue to try and make people laugh once in a while are contributing just as much if not more toward building the morale of the American people We think it would be a bad thing for the funnies to lose their essential characteristic of being funny. God help the American people if they ever lose their sense of humor.

Following this nine-game streak the Fr ia rs bowed to A.I.C., Seton Hall, and St. John's . The Black and White forces, a l though they sometimes showed signs of their early season greatness, could never regain their peak form during the rest of the schedule.

Ted McConnon, undoubtedly the outstanding P. C. athlete in recent years, paced the Crot tymen through-out the ent i re slate.
