The Scholastic THE •'•'FIRESIDE CHAT' uhich Father Hesburgh and vice-presidents of the administration recently had with the Student Senate and members of other campus organizations did much to help explain the "whats" and "whys" of the university's policies on students' welfare. In effect, the meeting accomplished this: It drew assurances from Father Hesburgh that legitimate objections—if they were adjudged as worthy of consideration—would be studied to determine whether or not the particular situation could be improved: it offered frank explanations for those situations which Father Hesburgh described as "presently un­ changeable" because of administration policy. The immediate problem of midnight lights for Seniors was one of the issues \\hich Father McCarragher, Prefect of Discipline, handled in an honest, straight-from-the-shoulder manner. He explained that, since underclassmen have—within the past couple of years—received a good number of fringe benefits which formerly were reserved for Seniors, the midnight lights were actually a "bonus" to restore some of these tradi­ tional privileges. Reports which have been submitted so far, however, indicate that the idea of the extra hour's lights in Senior halls isn't beinsr received as favorably by students and rectors as had been expected. The main objec­ tion, Father McCarragher said, was that the noise which students make \\'hen they come in at night no\v takes place at midnight instead of at 11 o'clock. The students who regularly retire at 11 are therefore kept awake an extra hour. .Another important point many of the reports make is that most Seniors don't use the extra hour for studying anyway; and con­ sequently the bull sessions are merely prolonged for an extra hour, thus needlessly depriving that many more students of an hour's sleep per night. Although there arc no exact figures on the difference in the number of Seniors attending daily Mass, Scholastic will publish the results of a sui"vey on the subject ne.xt week. Despite the fact that midnight lights were granted as a "bonus" for t Seniors, the original argument used in obtaining them was that Seniors needed the extra hour primarily for study. This argument, if proven valid, is still enough to convince the administration that midnight lights should be retained. Seniors, therefore, should keep these facts in mind unless they w-ant to sec the 11 o'clock curfew return. If the blackout does come, the admin­ istration will naturally be less considerate when requests of a similar nature arc made in the future. 'Nuff said. 'What happened to the lights?"

\V WNDU'S SWITCH to its new studios atop the O'Shaughnessy Tower has [• caused serious repercussions in the Scholastic's editorial offices. We have mixed emotions. First of all: The exquisite layout of studios and the modem furnishings *; made us green with envy. We wish we had the same. *- Secondly: Despite the fact that we reluctantly entered the recent war of personalities as a necessary fulfillment of our obligations, we don't carry a grudge We must admit, frankly, that the station deserves its new facili- ties. Congratulations to Director Tom Knott and his entire staff.

These woods were used to simulate the colors of the marble and stone in the original. Even the marks of 500 years of Roman weather are reproduced in the model. This phase of the project took two years to complete.

Hope to Leave Model in U. S.

On Sept. 2, 1950, the Holy Year, Pope Pius XII blessed the model and the end of the job was in sight for the Savoias. They put the replica on display in Italy for a year and then brought it to the United States, where it has toured over 40 cities. Attilio and Lucio Savoia produced their model for the purpose of giving as many people as possible the opportunity of seeing St. Peter's Basilica, even if only as a model. The two artists hope to leave the replica somewhere in the United States, where architects, artists,

Alumni, Dillon, Sorin, and Walsh are all mentioned in various accounts of the early days of the Student Voice. In the year 1947 fonnal operations began, but some grads still claim that the "home-made" station first came through the sets back in 1945. Cronan, an electrical engineer from Waterbury, Conn., batted the idea of a campus station around until he decided to take the step and actually began broadcasting from his own room in Walsh. He was a member- of the inactive Radio Club that still had a few dollars in the treasury. He used this money, and along with the other interested members, purchased a power transmit­ ter and started sending out programs. The nightly programs were quickly picked up by an increasing number of student sets . . . and University officials' radios.

The Science Ball picked up whei-e the action-packed Mardi Gras left oif with a gay "Winter Fantasy" last weekend. Set in this motif by the science decoi-a- tors, the dance-goers were first treated to the intriguing sight of a highway marker indicating departure from South Bend and entrance into a Southern faii-y-land of leisure and play. Other decorations throughout the Stu­ dent Center followed the theme of "get­ ting away from it all." The balh-oom of the Center was bedecked with posters of tropical resorts, making an ideal "Winter Fantasy" to bid good-by to this year's cold. The music of Dick Carlton and his orchestra provided the melodies for the final pre-lenten social aifair. A Glee Club octet provided intermission enter­ tainment with numbers carolled while they strolled among the dancers. They later led the tired dancers in a com­ munity sing. High spirits ran rampant throughout the evening as the students and their teachers frolicked before heading back to the slide rules and test tubes.
