G l o r y !Why are we so sad when a baby dies before it can bebaptized? Unbaptized babies go to Limbo; Limbo is not abad place. But it isn't;Heaven. Just think, such a baby cannever see God. That is why we dislike Limbo. We aren't satisfied with it, when wejknow that there is a Heaven,-*Formenfhave the desire to see the face of God.Except for the greatest of all miracles, none of us evercould see the face of God. Our life would never be consum

mated! ky supernatural happinessnever. Except for theDeath of Christ, "the next world" would be Limbo, a littleless than perfect happiness. f -T H '1 I 'We mustn's think lightly of this. The Crucifixion wasnot a formality. To buy back eternal happiness for us, Christendured everything that could cause Him sorrow, that couldpain Him physically and^mentally, to the very limit of Hisendurance, at which point He died.

"What price glory/* they say. Do you think Christ paidenough for it?.,Wnat glory did He .win? It was He who opened the gates of Heavenso that we might be with Him forever. I *| *M| f"What thou sawest, Mary, say,As thou wentest on the way.I saw the tomb wherein .the living one had lain;I saw His glory as He rose again;Napkin and linen cloths and angels twain . . .

'Spirit' U n ites Col l egeInitiated by the organization of a student-faculty committee and augmentedfby a special assembly program andvarious club panels, the question of student rights and re-sponsibilities has been much in the limelight at Mercyhurst.Even the least interested student has been awakened by i th elively discussion as to the proper status of the student incollege government. There has been discussion of rights andduties as pertaining to both students and faculty-members;the student body ihasfrequested increased student participation in government; and, as a result, an emphasis has beenplaced on school spirit % %' 'School spirit in a college such as ours is a far cry fromthe rah-rah pep rallies of high school or the racoon coat andflapper era of our parents;'rather it is anfintense loyalty toour alma-mater and a desire to seelit become the b est schoolever. A person ;loyal to any cause is'one who considers t h e !good of that cause above his own individual good, who willsacrifice his personal desires for the well-being offthe whole.

T& it

However, no one can develop such loyalty, no one canlove his school unless he knows it. And the best w ay to knowMercyhurst is to attend all its functions and to actively participate, in them. In order to p rove its readiness to accept additional responsibility, derick,:DorU, Moore, Theda BiSft, Mary JoBabowicz, Mary Lou Dwyer, loan Harrison, Jay Gould.Business StaffMary Adelaide Witt,* Rosemary Lahr, DoloresWally, Corrine Pnenatt, Dorothy Rotb Claire Todd, QuerelaPavlov, Anita Sontomenna. f> *

CULTURE0 !RNR SeU&uIn the world of today there is agreat stress upon getting thingsdone In the Quickest possible way.To aid you in reading, publishershave condensed everything as faras possible so that you can readabout all the world events in ahalf hour.This idea of condensation hascarried over even? into the fieldof books. You can now read a di gested book in a few hours. Yetdoes this reading accomplish anything? And if a person does takethe time to read a complete book,what kind of book does he choose?It is usually a book that does nothave any real literary value. Thischoice of books can be seen bythe lists of most of the best sell

ers.Ernest Dimnet has said, "Thereal purpose hidden under thegregarious act of reading is not

tojthink." !There are, however, people inthe world who still read to think,and their number is being % in creased by students,who have become interested in good readingwhile at school. Not all the goodbooks belong in the classification

of classics, although in the classicsis found the source of our moderngood| reading. Many good booksare being written in our own time.Graham Greene is one of thebest fiction writers of today. Heis probably best known to usthrough the picture "The ThirdMan" which is!taken from one ofhis novels. Another one of hisbooks is The Heart of the Matterwhich is the story of a man'sstruggle with his own sense ofduty and honor told in a powerful manner.Inithe field of auto-biographythere are found two extremelypopular books. One of t he se | isThe Story of the Trapp Familytoy Maria Augusta Tra pp. In itBaroness Trapp recounts her family's experiences in becoming acquainted with the United Statesan d in I trying to make a livinghere. The other book is Out ofthis World by Lowell Thomas, Jr.in which Mr. Thomas tells of histrip withfhis famous father intothe;unknown land of Tibet.In a lighter vein is found I Reproachfully Yours by Lucille Has-ley. Mrs. Hasley describes in acomic fashion her adventures asa convert to the Catholic Churchand her own domestic troubles.These are a few of the better

books which are available to thosewho-want to take advantage.'ofthem. We here at Mercyhurst arevery fortunate for these and manyother ^interesting books may ibefound in our own library. Let'smake use of them!

T h a n k Y o u , D r . D e K o n i n c kIt w as a warm and genuine welcome extended to DoctorCharles DeKoninck when he ascended the lecture platformon February 26. But before then, on Sunday, he had beenbusy with informal discussions with the Faculty, and withgroups of the students, ; 'Born in Flanders, Dr. DeKoninck received his degree atLouvaine University in Belgium. For the last seventeenyears he has been on the Faculty of Laval University in Quebec, Canada. He is Dean of the School of Philosophy andTheology, and holds the Chair of Philosophy of Nature.Mariology, a course in Theology concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary,, is taught by him in Latin; the other courses heteaches in French. 1Speaks Four LanguagesA linguist of no small order, Dr.DeKoninck fluently speaks English, French. Latin, and his nativeDutch tongue. Then add that hereads five or six other languages,among them Greek, German, andSpanish. Us explained that European culture demands that education include the learning of morethan just one language. His interest in the Philosophy cf Scienceconcerns particularly M athematicsand Physics. The subject of hisdoctorate thesis is truly an intellectual one. as it concerns the'"Philosophical Implications of theTheory of Relativity."

COLLEGEversusD R A F TNow that the world is engagedin what has been described as a"warm" war, many urgent problems have arisen and demand a nswers. One of these problems concerns the position of educationduring war time. There has beenmuch discussion about this question by many prominent men;each has his own idea; however,your inquiring reporter decidedthat the \ best way \to get an answer to this question would be byasking the opinion of those mostclosely concerned, students themselves. These are the answers ofa good cross section: ClaireAglista: "Except in the cases ofhundreds of young men who arecalled from college to serve? onbattlefields, education should continue as usual and, if possible,with greater fervor. We muststrengthen ourselves not onlyphysically 2but mentally to meetand subdue the onrushing enemy/'Mary Jo Babowicz: "During war,education should play a very important *jpart since its job will be

to teach the students of Americathe benefits of living in a democracy as compared with livingunder communism. It has (oftenbeen said that a people fight better when they know why they arefighting. It is education that hasto instill in Americans a love ofthose things for whichjthey ar efighting." H II ESSBarbara
