The Notre Dame Scholastic 511 D EDITOKS PAGE a THE **XCH€LA$TIC$'' NOV rCRyHAT With this issue, the SCHOLASTIC presents,a new format to its readers. The physical size of its pages has been increased slightly so that the issue which comes from the press today is the largest in this respect since the publication was first founded over half a century ago. It is only a small increase, it is true, but an increase which is the moi*e appreciable as the type used in its composition has been reduced from ten to eight point size.
Coincident with the inauguration of the new page size, the editorial policy of the SCHOLASTIC has also been slightly altered. Most of the alteration concerns the addition of several new features which are introduced for the fii'st time in this issue. Several other features which are expected to prove of interest to the faculty and students were denied inclusion because of the unusual amount of news carried. These will be inaugurated in the following issue.
The SCHOLASTIC is making these changes for two principal reasons: first, to add more space for news, features, and other articles, and thereby provide undergraduate wi'iters with a greater oppor tunity for publication than they have previously enjoyed by virtue of this increased space; second, to make the SCHOLASTIC more interesting by the inclusion of more articles from undergraduates, and other features. But a brief explanation of the present editorial policy of the publication will not be amiss.
The SCHOLASTIC is the official news weekly, by and for the students of Notre Dame. It was origi nally founded to provide a vehicle of expression for student wi'iters whose work merited publication. Through the years it has rigidly adhei-ed to this policy. In addition, it serves as an invaluable and priceless storehouse of information concerning various University happenings throughout the years. During the first fifty years or so of its existence, there was no distinct separation of the news, literary, and sports departments as is the case today in the present publication. It is only Avithin the past six or seven years that a gradual separation of these three departments has culminated in such a definite division.
The SCHOLASTIC is under the authority of the Faculty Board of Publications, but the editor and his staff are left to their own initiative in getting out each issue. The editor is responsible for all errors of commission or omission in the publication, and the members of his staff are directly responsible to him. Many students are under the erroneous impression that the articles appearing in the SCHOLASTIC, literary articles in particular, are written by members of a certain clique, and that only poems,, short stories, and essays from the members of this clique are published. This is an erroneous impression. Of course, the news and sports departments of the SCHOLASTIC are composed by members of those particular staffs. But the material appearing in the literary section is selected from that submitted by professors as the best work in their various classes, or from that submitted by the students themselves. The literary staff of the SCHOLASTIC makes the decision as to what material to run. This staff is com posed of five members, headed by the literary editor. The publication is not conducted by a certain clique, nor are its pages open to only a limited num ber. The personnel of its staff is open to all students of the University with demonstrated ability along literary lines. Like all publications of a similar nature it has had, still has, and will in all probability continue to have, its critics. The SCHOLASTIC is far from perfect, and is most certainly not impervious to error; but its staff does everything within its power to avoid mistakes. However, mistakes will occur.
The SCHOLASTIC is one of the oldest college weeklies in the world. It has had a long, an honorable, and a fruitful existence. Internationally known literaiy figures have had their first articles printed in its pages. It is part of Notre Dame's precious heritage. As such it will continue as long as the University exists.

In addition, he accounted for five baskets and two free throws for a total of twelve points, or nearly half his team's total. The big guard was right in the thick of the fray at every moment and proved to be the hero of the engagement. Colerick was perhaps the outstanding performer for the Blue and Gold.

Crowe and Jachym, that brace of high-scoring fonvards, showed some fine floor work, but their renowned scoring ability was held in check by the close guarding of their Purple opponents. Coach Keogan sent in two full teams in the course of the evening, in an effort to stop the scoring tendencies of the home five; but although with a Celebrated All Star Cast! the substitutes tried hard and indeed were almost as effective as the regulars, they were unable to put the Blue and Gold out in front.
