When he left us 1n June, Fr. Ma­guire proceeded to Washington, D. C., where he conducted an Institute on Labor Problems from ·June 20 to 26 inclusive. The I nstitute was conducted for the benefit of both the priests and laypeople of that diocese.

Fr. Maguir e stopped in Sturgis, South Dakota; w here he preached a retreat to the . nuns of the Benedic­tine Convent of St. Martin. H e was also the celebrant of the Solemi;l High Mass a t which six novices were received into the Benedictine Con­vent. Froni Sturgis he proceeded to California where he eonducted an Institute on Labor Problems for the benefit of the clergy in the Diocese of Los Angeles, California, during the week of August 16 to 21 in· elusive.

Fr. Maguire was also the princi­ple speaker at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, when the college Conducted an Institute on Public Relations from August 30 to September 4. On his return to Bourbonnais, Fr. Maguire delayed long enough, In Ashville, Penn., to preach a retreat for his f riend and former classmate, the Rev. Stephen McGarvey, who is the pastor of a parish there.

St. Viator College is indeed for­tunate in having a t the helm of her Department of Commerce, a man of the caliber and perspacacity of Fr. Maguire. H e is one of the few men in our modern industrial world who has both the courage and the ability to crusade for · the cause of justice and righteousness for the poorest and most abandoned class of mankind, the laboring class. He is one of the few men who i::; able to hold a loft the g lowing torch of the gospel of Christ in a world fill­ed with the blackness of pagan prin­ciples; he has render ed more dis­tinct the eternal tru ths of Christ­ianity, so that they may guide the tottering foosteps of our present in­dustrial world.

The Very Rev. E. V. Cardinal, C. s. V., has announced recently that the Rev. J. E. Williams, C. S. V., will resume his post as Moder­ator of the International Relations club, a post which Fr.

seems they were just out for the exercise. They were not very inter­ested in the game itself, at least they didn't pay much atteution to what was going on. If they accident­aly caught one of the players do­ing a little slugging, or somebody kicked somebody in the face, per­haps a well directed thumb in an­other boy's orb, an innocent kick in the vital zone ,or any of these kindred "accidents", they either over­looked them or gave a bum decision. Vis. On one play Viator was called on "roughing the kicker". Spauld­ing's Official Rule Book defines this as a 15 yard penalty. Viator was penalized only 5 yards. To top that off, the head linesman forgot where the marker belonged. Long story short- Jordan lost ground instead of collecting 15 yards of charity.

Laci< of Team-Play

Don't give up ·hope yet because we should have a good team. As soon as the ball players start work­ing the way Coach Lou Zarza wants, the Green Wave will be an outfit worth watching. We don't want to give the idea that the '37 Varsity belongs in the "also ran" class. Not at all. The Jordan game gave in­dications that we · have the re­quisits for another record brealdng aggregation. There was a lack of team-play. The line was strong and played good bali. The backfield went 0. K. at t imes. But- There wasn't the zip and drive of a year ago.

mean a football player. However, we are waiting for him to r epro­duce in a game so~ of the exhibi­tions he has put on during the practice sessions. Rodosevitch tips the scales at 162. Not too big but he has proven that he has what it takes. J erry McLaughlin, is another boy to keep your eyes on. He is coming along nicely at guard. It will be a tough job for him to break into the starting lineup but if the rugged Irishman keeps up the pace he s tarted out with, he will see a lot of action. A I Haworth also broke into college competition against Jordan. What we saw of him was all right. Dusenbury, a local boy, made good in his first appearance. TaJ<ing a pass from Dan Blazevich, he chalked up one of the counters in the J ordan game. H e is fast and plays hard.

and he '11 sell any article you ask him. to . This p eculiar American aptitude for putting things over ·by means of slogans and high­powered advertising seems to be pal't and parcel of the .American temperament. Au insignificant n'ovelty plus a tricky slogan and presto ! a money-making business. Knick-knacks of all sorts catch the public fancy, sell like wild-fire, and hriu g a substantial profit to the manufacturers. "Yo-Yo tops", " Hi-Li paddles", these are onl>· a few examples fro m an almost numberless array of facts. Yet Grand Opera in America very narrowly escaped a premature demise.

The success fo rmula of t he mercbandise plus the slogan did not work in the case of opera because no one bothered about drumming up the slogan.

Opera and profit were r egarded as contradictory terms, one coulcln 't exist at the same time as the other. I n fact a deficit of only $25,000 at the end of a season was so exceptional that such a season was considered rather successful. But the old order changeth and ·so did grand opera as an ' art of art's sake' business.

The Metropolitan company of New York City offers an out­standing example. The ' Met ' limped along year after year on a badly gangrened budget. Only the generosity of a few sincere patrons kept alive a faint spark of financial life. Frequent chang­es in managers only made matters worse. Deficits mounted annual­ly, accountants used up bottle after bottle of red ink. Finally, so desperate did conditions become that serious thought was given to t hrowing up the whole llless-for a mess it certainly was. '!'his situation was not confined to New York a lone, the Civic in Chi­cago was three-fourth 's submerged and sink ing r apidly ; companies in St. Louis, Detroit, and San Fraueisco '~'ere on th e very ver ge of extinction. Grand Opel'a was a colossal failure-but came the change.

A new manage!' was installed at the ' Met'. This man was Ml'. Johnson, a veteran of the troupe. Although an excellent ar­tist and sincel'e lover of the music, Mr. Johuson was also an Amer­ican, an American who had a clear understanding of t he Ameri­can mind. Like a skillful physician he immediately placed his finger on t he source of the trouble. Opera was a failure because it was misunderstood. He insisted that the opera was for the g ublic as a whole not merely for th e elite. Therefor e the slogan,

'l'he ent ire responsibility cannot be placed on the student, for music holds no place in the curriculum at St. Viator College. Can­didates for the different degrees offered here are r equired to have 12 homs of this, 6 hours of that, and perhaps 15 of something else -no mention is made of music. Even the A. B. degr ee, which is supposed to be a liberal arts degree, requires no knowledge of music whatsoever. It seems rather farcial to confer a degree of this kind when one of the oldest and most important of all the liberal arts is ignored. Why give a man an A.

Parts of his / address on ·"Labor in a Democracy' ' given a t Williams College on September 1 :

"Democracy is an ideal and not an actuality. Tbe spititua l part of democracy is far .inore important than the political, fo r back of it lies the fundamental conception of Chtiat!anity-and of J udaism too­of the dignity of man who is creat­ed in the likeness of God. Labor has an essential dignity in itself. Labor is a m eans to livelihood. If it is the business of government to se­cure the right ~f life, then It is also the business of the government to see tha t people have a m eans of life.

Industry's F irat Aim "It Is a fundamental tight, first

of all, for all m en to get a job. Tbe indust tial syst em m ust be made to serve this aim. Tbe pti­mary aim of industry is not the making of profits. It always has been and should be the furnishing of a means of livelihood to every­body. And yet .we have these re­currhig periods of depression in which larger and la rger numbers of people are thrown out of work.

"But unemployment is no t a phen­omenon of depressions. F rom the end of the W orld W a r to 1929 there was a steadily ascending scale of unemployment. That is one of the things that has to be rect ified in our modern society. The first f un­damental tight of la bor should be to a job. Labor is not an a tttibute of life. It Is not a commodity. We have rega rded labor in the past as property and as a commodity. When so looked upon the laborer is a slave.

~~we have to consider that labor Is free, but is petisha ble. Tbe m an out of work today cannot s tore up that labor he does not use and use It when he gets a job. Labor should not only have a right to a job, but secutity In that job. Our present society by no means guarantees those tights, and yet, it should.

"With the industrial r evolution work was t aken out of the home and put into the factory. Tbe laborer lost his ownership of the tools of his trade. Tbe determination of wag­es was left to the forces of com­petition. A laborer should have de-

cen t wages and decent conditions so

tha t he can live t he life of a man

endowed with in telligence and free

will and made in the Image and I likeness of God.

"To secure these things la bor should have t he r ight t o organize., Industry is organized. Therefore I a pproved very hear tily of section 7a of the na tional labor relations act. There a re two kinds of unions: Outside and company unJons. I be­lieve the only k ind of effective union is the outside union . Company unions, as a general rule are a sha m, fraud, and delusion.
