Seniors Hear Fr. Chandler

Calls For an Intellectual Reaction to All Crises

"If America does not turn back to God. we too shall become involved in this war", seniors were warned Tuesday by the Rev. Ar thur H. Chandler. O.P., dean.

Stressing the imminent dangers a-head for the youth of America, Dean Chandler added, "I want you to make a proper account of yourselves to your families, to your country, and to your God."

He called for an intellectual reac-tion on the part of the Seniors to all crises, urging them to ful ly analyze all problems in their t rue light.

Fa ther Chandler ' s address followed a Mass which was celebrated by the Very Rev. John J. Dillon, O.P., Pres-ident marking the re turn of Seniors to the campus for the second semes-ter. Classes were resumed af te r regis-tration under the Rev. Daniel M Galliher. O.P.. registrar.

Hoopmen Prepare For Action Against New York Teams

Providence College hoop representa-tives, inactive for the past three weeks, will swing back into action against two of New York's collegiate standard bearers when they travel to Brooklyn to encounter St. Johns and St. Fran-cis on Feb. 10 and 11, respectively.

Of the two opponents, St. Johns coached by Joe Lapchick, a member of the famed Original Celtics, should provide keener opposition to the Fri-ars. St. Johns, which last season com-piled a record of 15 victories as against four defeats, has thus f a r this cam-paign accounted for 11 t r iumphs in 14 starts.

The Redbirds have subdued such standouts as Fordham, Oaklahoma U.. Manhattan, and St. Peters. Their only conquerors have been Colorado U., City College, and Brooklyn.

St. Johns has two strong starting guards in Capt. Jack "Dutch" Gar-finkel, who won a place on the All-Coaches selections last year, and John-ny Geilen. J im White, who gained a ber th on the All-City club during the 1939-40 campaign, has the center posi-tion tied up, while Bob Tough and Ken Barnet t will be at the forwards.

St. Francis, which in its 44th sea-son, is one of the highest scoring aggregations in the East. The Terri-ers have encountered great success under their present mentor, Rody Cooney, whose teams have won 116 games and lost 46.

Coach Cooney, will, in all proba-bility, call on Vin Ptak, captain, and Ben Benigno to fill the guard posts. Ptak, who can tu rn in an efficient performance at forward if he should be needed for that spot, is an all-around player and a fine playmaker. Benigno is the fastest man on the squad.

Carl Malfitano, one of the most accurate shooters in this section of the nation, and Bill Graham are slated for the forward berths and Tony Braginetz will be at center.

Up to date the Friars have a past performance slate which bears four victories and one defeat, the setback being administered by Rhode Island State. Springfield. St. Anselm, As-sumption. and Bates have fallen before the Providence attack.

First Call Will Be at 1 2 : 2 0 Monday; Singers Will Be Heard

Selections for the dance chorus and specialty numbers of the seventh an-nual musical comedy sponsored by the Pyramid Players will be made this Monday and Tuesday, it was an-nounced yesterday by Thomas J. Far-rell, '41, production manager.

Tryouts will begin at 12:20 in the old auditorium and will continue un-til 1:20. There will be another call at 2:15 which will last unti l 3:30.

Singers will be given tryouts in Room 35 at the same time as the dance castings.

Several songs have been submitted to Kenneth Cayton, '42, musical di-rector for the show and any new contributions will be welcomed, Far -rell said.

No title has been selected for the show which will be held April 30 and May 1, 2, 3, and 4, but suggestions will be received by Farrell . The script has been completed and has a South American background.

This year 's comedy is the seventh in a series which are being produced entirely by the students of the col-lege. "Nancy" the first s tudent show was not produced unti l 1936. That year the "Student Quints" was pre-sented. The following years "Soup and Fish", "Friar Away", "Ready Aim Fr ia r" were produced in succession.

Last year 's show, "He and Sheba", writ ten by Lionel J. Landry, '40, and Charles E. Sweeney, '41. was the most successful production sponsored by the Pyramid Players.

The author of this year 's show is Francis Stadnicki, '43. Members of the board of directors besides Farrel l and Stadnicki include, Joseph M. McLaughlin, '42; Kenneth Cayton, '42; Donald MacDonald, '44; Kenneth Mc-Govern, '41; Gerald O'Brien, '41; Ed-ward Healy, '43 and Thomas Gillfil-lan, '42. Ira T. Williams, Jr. , '41 is in charge of publicity for the Pyramid Players.

LEE LEADS HOOPSTERS Sharpshooting Johnny Lee, senior

forward, is presently leading the Providence College varsity hoopsters in scoring with a total of 47 points in five contests. Horace Marone, center, is next in the list of contributors with 44 markers accredited to him.

SKI CLUB Members of the newly organized

Providence College Ski Club made their first trip as a group when they journeyed to Laconia, N. H., on a special ski train together with mem-bers of the Edgewood Yacht Club last weekend.

A special Mass for members of the club was celebrated at 7:30 a.m. Sun-day by the Rev. A. B. Begley, O P .

Members of the club who made the tr ip included John Walsh, '41, president; Joseph Meehan, '41; Henry J. Coffey, '42; Gerald Madden, '43; James Kindelan, '44; and James Ho-gan, '44.

2 THE COWL, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1941

C O L L E G I A T E REVIEW

WHAT'S YOUR POLICY? To wind up last month ' s symposium

on edi tor ia l policy for the cu r ren t school term, we give you the fol lowing half-dozen addi t ional summar ies :

The Alabama College Alabamian: First , we shall a t t empt to br ing

about a be t ter facul ty-s tudent rela-tionship. Second, we shall t ry to wake the sleeping members of the s tudent body. Third, having awakened the s tudent body, we hope to arouse some ini t iat ive among its members . Four th , the Alabamian will probably say things the s tudents won' t like. If we do. talk back to us; tell us what you think.

The Capaha Arrow, Southeast Mis-souri State Teachers College:

Four salient object ives will form the backbone of the editorial policy of The Capaha Ar row dur ing the year . First , the publ icat ion will represent the s tuden t s and their opinions, and will a t tempt to in te rpre t them to the facul ty of the school and to others. Sec-ond, the views of the facul ty in re-gard to scholastic and all o ther mat ters will be presented as fa i r ly as possi-ble to the students. Third, active con-tact will be mainta ined with the a lum-ni of the school in an endeavor to tie them more closely with the college and let them know what is doing here. Fourth, this newspaper wil l t ry to in tegrate the activit ies and views cf the s tudents of the college wi th those in the communiy of which this inst i tut ion is a par t .

The Notre Dame Scholastic: It is the pecul iar problem of a

weekly publication to appear to be breaking the news, when In fact much of its content is only slightly less than a week old. Of course. The Scholastic has a compensat ion factor. Its staff , with comparat ively more t ime to work , t r ies to record more accurate ly than a news daily. It tr ies to supply de- 1

tails which are imperfect ly known, and which would be perhaps unat ta in-1 able to an unreasonably hur r ied re-porter . This year The Scholastic will j cont inue its search for facts which are complete and at the same t ime a lways appropr ia te . It is hoped that as the year progresses the wr i t ing presented in these pages will correspondingly at ta in increasing significance. A staff not forced to make daily sallies into the midst of things has t ime, usually, to realize the signif icance of wha t has gone before, and consequent ly is

Eastern Conflict Influences West

(By Associated Collegiate Press! CHINA

Between bomb-blasts in London and Berlin, Americans catch glimpses of ano ther war. Many see in the Sino-Japanese conflict fa r - reaching influ-ences on the western world. In the American college press, opinion dif-fe rs as to the imminence of hostil-ities with Japan . But cont inued aid to China and ever-st i ffening resist-ence to Tokyo find vociferous sup-port .

Fact that the recent ly reopened Burma Road stays open is called "significant" by the Universi ty of Minnesota Daily. The road, comments the Daily "symbolizes the remain ing bonds between Free China and the democrat ic west. Brit ish reversal of policy therefore stiffened Chinese morale—and Secre tary Hull 's over-tures. which prompted the Bri t ish ac-tion. s t rengthened Chinese fai th in the United States ' Fa r Eastern policy."

American extension of credits to China is applauded by the Eastern Illinois State Teachers College News, which says: "Despite the fact that our chances of gett ing our money back f rom des t i tu te China are slim, the loan will f u r t h e r spur her dogged re-sistance to Japan , at ieast delaying, if not prevent ing, our en t ry into a Japanese war. Fa r more impor tan t than the loan, however , is t he em-bargo put on scrap iron . . . We f u r -nish the marke t for about 75 per cent of J apan ' s r aw silk and we still buy most of her manufac tu red wares. Our own indust ry would benefit great-ly and Japan might be brought quick-ly to her knees if a boycott was placed on her merchandise ."

At Massachusetts Ins t i tu te of Tech-nology. The Tech concludes that "al-though the a t t endan t r isk is he ight -ened, the steps we have t aken in the east ought not to be revoked. This aggressive policy, of course, slices our securi ty in the east. The Phi l ippines are still highly vulnerable and the position of Americans in China be-comes more perilous. Apar t f r o m these conditions, however, no m a j o r r isk is involved."

More concerned is the Daily Nor th-western. "There can be no doubt , declares this publication, " that a situ-ation is fast developing in the east which could very possibly end in w a r with Japan . It cer ta inly means that we have abandoned any pre tense of neut ra l i ty in the S ino-Japanese s t rug-gle. It also means tha t w e are pe r -haps closer to w a r today than w e have been since 1918."

Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal believes recent developments indicate tha t " the seemingly inevi table conflict wi th J apan may be t r ans fo rmed f rom a long, costly, possibly fu t i le naval w a r into a mat te r of economic pressures ski l l ful ly applied. This count ry is now in a position to de te rmine the out-come of both wars by h e r applica-tion of economic pressure in this hemisphere and in the Orient ."

Summing u p and appeal ing for more aid to China, the Daily Texan points out that " the spirit of China is undaunted . There is no sign of weakening, no sign of surrender . The mil i tary might of J apan is at a stale-mate. On the o ther hand, fo r t he tens of millions of the Chinese people who a re direct ly involved in this invasion the condition is tragic. Let us help our own people and one another , but let us not forget the plight of a noble people whose wisdom and learning were ancient and great when the people of the wes te rn lands were li t-tle short of savages."

A l u m n i News Alumni activit ies will reach thei r

mid-win te r peak this month with three impor tan t programs scheduled. On Friday. F e b r u a r y 21, the annual Alumni Ball will be held at the Bilt-more Hotel, and two days la ter the annual business meeting of the Asso-ciation will be conducted at Hark ins Hall. Ear l ie r in the month, on the 15th, the 'Varsity basketbal l game with St. Anselm's College wil l be a Homecoming game for the graduates in view of the fact that the Holy Cross game in January , original ly set for a homecoming night, had to be cancelled.

Alumni Ball Plans Alumni Pres ident John E. Farrel l ,

26, has a l ready selected par t of the commit tee which will conduct the annua l Alumni Ball, and the mant le of chai rmanship of this impor tant so-cial event of the year has been en-t rusted to Thomas J . Reilly, '35. A pre l iminary meet ing of the Commit-tee was held last Sunday, and plans s tar ted to make the Ball this year one of the finest in the history of the Association. F u r t h e r details of the event will be published in this column nex t week. Sufficient for now to note the date—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21.

Alumni Business Meeting The change in the Consti tution ef-

fected two years ago which provides for the annua l business meet ing on the last Sunday in Feb rua ry has proved one of the most successful moves made in recent years. Under such a p lan the Alumni Day in J u n e affords ful l t ime for reunions and so-cial events, wi th all the rout ine bus-iness and contested problems ironed out at the mid-winter session. Presi-dent Farre l l has announced that an interest ing agenda for the considera-tion of the membersh ip will be pre-sented on SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 23. at the business meeting.

Homecoming Basketball Game The prevalence of gr ippe forced

the cancellation of the Holy Cross game, and the re fo re the Board of Governors has approved the listing of the St. Anselm's tilt at Hark ins Hall on SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 15. as the official Homecoming basketbal l game for the graduates. The game will t ake on added significance in view of the fact that Alber t "Genera l" Mc-Clellan is now coach on the New Hampshi re q u i n t e t and a large tu rn -out of our alumni is expected to wi t -ness the r e tu rn of t h e "Genera l" to the court whe re h e developed teams which won sectional and nat ional rec-ognition.

ASCAP-BMI Renew Battle (By Associated Collegiate Press)

ASCAP Few subjects have inspired the col-

umns of comment in the nat ion 's col-lege press that have poured fo r th since ASCAP and the radio ne tworks te rmina ted relat ions.

Music, it seems proved once again, is a p r ime fac tor in the collegian's existence, and editorial reaction, for the most part , has been clear-cut.

The Harvard Crimson in an analysis of the dispute points out tha t t he main line of defense for the American, Society of Composers, Authors and Publ ishers "is the fact tha t in the mid- twent ies its r ights was recog-nized under the copyright law to as-sess broadcasters for e ther iz ing its music. The society was for a while satisfied with a five per cent cut. But when ne tworks incorporated and, finding themselves not l iable to royal-ty fees, proceeded to juggle the i r books so as to lessen the amount paid by individual stations, ASCAP began to feel double-crossed. Hence the new contracts placing a seven and one-half per cent dent on income f r o m all chain programs. "On the o ther side of the musical fence," continues the Crimson, "stand t h e networks , arguing that ASCAP has a l ready dug too deeply into radio's coffers and now seeks only to pursue its advantage. Fur thermore , they say. charges should be made upon the music presented, wi th no fee blanket ing all sponsored broadcasts."

The Daily Kansan sees some good in the controversy, bu t closes on a note of impatience: "You may have to go to the 'Camptown Races' two or th ree t imes a day, but you do get to hear some of the really fine things of Stephen Foster that were former ly bur ied under the avalanche of popu-lar music. Even so. we'd ra the r have i our choice of the whole shebang. So. I

boys, please sett le t he squabble and let 's get back to work."

The Syracuse Daily Orange, the Cornell Daily Sun, and the Daily Nebraskan resent the public 's being " taken in" by the whole situation. The Sun says tha t "again the ugly head of the interclass s t ruggle has risen, and meanwhi le the people of the United States a re suffer ing as usual ." The Nebraskan feels tha t "ASCAP's monopoly seems not too hea l thy a thing," and finds that "mu-sic lovers are gett ing angry at BMI for not having wha t they wan t and at ASCAP for denying them the r ight to hear thei r favor i te songs."

The Daily Iowan hazards a guess that the public will force the net-works to effect a set t lement . "Eventu-ally those of us who real ly en joy our radio music will become tired of Stephen Foster, et al, and unless the new BMI can supply us wi th an in-creasing number of GOOD popular , semi-popular and classical tunes to our liking, ASCAP will win its ba t t le wi th the networks, an increase in radio ra tes for its music, and the blessings of music-loving Amer icans who care nothing about the economics of the bat t le b u t who insist upon their musical favori tes . The fa i rness of ASCAP's demands w e wil l not dis-cuss. Our only conviction now is tha t the day is approaching when ASCAP music will r e tu rn to the networks , and several mill ions of a i r -minded Americans will have brought it about."

Back at Harvard , the Crimson con-cludes: "Jus t which par ty capi tulates is a question to be answered by the listening public. If America 's 50.000.-000 radio sets s tar t t u rn ing more and more to ASCAP-contrac ted independ-ent stations, and advert isers fol low the t rend, the ne tworks wil l have to throw in the towel. But if the com-bination of new BMI. old American, and foreign tunes suits l isteners ' tastes, the Society of Composers wil l find itself in an awkward position. Whatever the bat t le 's outcome. Amer-ican music should emerge wi th a new lease on life."

COLLEGIATE REVIEW

(Continued f r o m Page 2) able to wri te wi th a more seasoned view.

The Central Collegian, Central Col-lege, Fayet te , Mo.:

First , we shall f u r t h e r in these col-umns every th ing which we believe wil l enl iven our school l ife—academ-ically, socially, athletically. Second, we shall lend our whole-hear ted suppor t to any movement which might be launched to d r a w favorable a t tent ion to our school. Third, we shall denounce indif ference . Fe rven t suppor t or f r ank opposition is to be praised. Luke-warmness is to be thoroughly con-demned. We h a v e drooped long enough. If any group in the world should be wi thout le thargy, it should be college students. SNAP OUT OF IT!
