I cHARLES MURPHY 'sr. VIATOR DEFEATS LLOYD 0. WARNE MADE PRESIDENT

OF COLLEGE CLUB Thomas R. Doyle Elected

Vice-President

Mr. Lloyd 0. Warne of Sioux Falls, s. D., was chosen to lead the St. Via­tor College Club during t he scholastic vear 1929-1930. Previous to the ~ lection a warm campaign was enter­ed into by the backers of both nom­inees to the presidency, Mr. Lloyd 0. Warne and Mr. H. Paul Mills. A more intense battle for the position has not been witnessed before in the history of the Club. The unexpected withdrawal of Mr. Mills fro m the presidential race on the eve of the election threw his political camp into confusion and left the field open for an easy victory for the Warne fac­tion.

The sudden retraction of Mr. Mill's nomination was made necessary when, subsequent to his nomination, he learned of a new job which will re­quire every minute of his spare time next year. His withdrawal was sin­cm·ely regretted by his man y fr iends who had cherished visions of a suc­cessful year under the Mills banner of prosperity.

Mt. Warne is one of the most active I Chosen Senior Pres. ' Invested on May 12 students on the carnpus. He matri-cu lated as a freshman at St. Viator on the opening of the second semester in 1928. During t he past year he represented the sophomo1·e class at all Advisory Board meetings. His class, to a man, are back of him.

Mr. \\'arne came to the fore during the past winter and early spring as a debater. The youngest member of the traveling team , he was a vita l element in the very rernarkable suc­cess enjoyed by that division of the Bergin Debating Society . His stead­fast ambition and evident ability in all undertakings were most probably the important factors in his practical­ly unanimous selection as next year's College Club president.

Junior class during the past year, experienced little d ifficulty in wi.iming the vice-presidental seat. Judgng from his past record Tom will be an nble and a valuable helpmate to President Warne.

The Catholic Student Movement

That our ~·ounger generation is losing its grasp on religion, and undergoing a period of moral decadence, i- a generally ac­cept d fuel, according to modern writers. \\'hile we mar ·'pity our grnnd-mother"" for a great many things, still, as regards ideals, character. and spiritual strength it is admitted they pos­st•ss a decided adYantage o\·er us.

Just )\"I'Ounds for this notion may undoubtedly be eddenced iu the conduct of too many students at some of our state and non­:<ednrian institutions. 'till the notion is not in agreement with the fads. as presented by our C'>Jtholic colleges and uniYersities. ln this restricted field. there is e,·ery reason to belie,·e that young people are lakin~; a more sincere and wholehearted interest in :piritual m:ltters than eYer before. They ha,·e, in fact. taken the inititltin!, and haw manifested in the most aggres -h-e manner that religious ideals and a sound philosophy of life are of Yital importance to them. The disregard of authority and contempt for tradition :mel custom. characteristic of this age, is compensated for by an energetic, and ambitious spirit which impels the modern ~ outh to make the most of his opportunities. and seek earnestly for "life in its fullness."

Undoubtedly the most sll·iking illustration of the dominant religious spirit, manifesting itself in concerted and impressive action, prevalent in Catholic colleges, was given us last Fall, in the nation-wide student leadership Convention, held at St. Louis. Fou rteen hunch·ed students galhe1·ed from every section of the country to discu ·s spiritual problems and deve lop as thoroughly ns possible a systematic and etl'ective method of strengthening and augmenting the re ligious life in Catholic colleges.

It is enlightening to note some of the subjects, that were most \l'ehemently discussed by the sluclenl de l egate~. First of all there was "personal ho liness," a topic which proved of such vital interest and of so much animated dispute, that the time fo r il. treatment had to be greatly extended. The value and method of daily Communion, the means of its increase, the necessity and "·orth of an intimate f1iendship with Christ in the Blessed Sacra­ment. the methods of directing the mind and energies of the student along worthy and remunerative channels, the fostering
