It will be a ray of hope in achieved there may be hope of better against many of the things we believe the hearts of many right-thinking (Continued on page 31) and hold sacred. :4^ George Wallace has instilled hate in the hearts of men. He carries the burden of many atrocities. He has prompted actions such as the murder of innocent girls in Birmingham and the killing of Medgar Evers. As the last dying embers of hate fade, Wal lace rekindles them with flaming coals. Though he denies it, George Wal lace has only one platform — segrega tion. His purported interest in states rights is only superficial and expedi ent to his argument. I stress, his only interest is to maintain a segregated caste system. I am a graduate of Notre Dame and I am a Negro. Because of the lat ter, I am forced to accept a second- class citizenship. Here a Negro is robbed of his dignity and is forced to accept a life of degradation. In spite of Wallace's denials, Amer'i- can citizens are obliged to attend in ferior schools. Their voting rights are placed in jeopardy. The white supremacist maintains that the Negro must "earn" his first- class citizenship. To "aid" the Negro to this end, the white community continues to keep segregated the chaimels of cultural and educational opportunities required to achieve this end. Should a white commimity show signs of deviation from this rule, it is threatened by the hatemongers who still enjoy freedom in Governor Wal lace's state. It would take far too long to enu merate the coimtless ways in which the Negro is discriminated against in a state, the Gtovemor of which main tains that all people are given equal opportxmity.

Two men largely responsible for this mammoth work of art, Millard Sheets, designer of the mural, and BEHIND THE MURAL Howard V. Phalin, its donor, were interviewed recently by the SCHO by Jack Rowc LASTIC. Mr. Sheets, who has been designing murals and buildings throughout the i.:-iii».i^i'i_-j."..:ii<:^.:. United States for thirty years, was asked: Q: What do you consider particu larly unusual about this project? A: The extensive use of granite is probably the most unusual feature of the mural. To my knowledge no other large mural has been done for the exterior of a building in solid granite. It has been executed in granite to make it permanent, to withstand the heat and cold found in that part of the country. The theme, of course, was sug gested by the Notre Dame admin istration. What they asked me to do was to suggest in a great processional the idea of a never-ending line of great scholars, thinkers, and teach ers — saints that represented the best that man has recorded, and which are found represented in a li brary. The thought was that the various periods that are suggested in the theme have unfolded in the con tinuous process of one generation giv ing to the next. I put Christ at the top with the disciples to suggest that He is the great teacher—that is real ly the thematic idea. Q: Is it true that the pieces of stone were cut in California and transported here? A: No, the execution and cutting of the pieces and the setting of the gi'anite in the giant slabs of concrete was done in Cold Springs, Minnesota, at the world's largest granite works. The large concrete pieces which formed the backing for the almost 7000 in dividual pieces of granite were brought on trucks from Cold Springs, just as they wei-e needed to go up on the wall. Q: Was there concern that. the mural would not be completed in time for the dedication ceremonies due to last fall's delay? A: This deadline was always a worry, but the fine co-operation of the people at Notre Dame—working over time and on weekends—helped us to complete the work on time. This has been a collaborative effort between myself as designer of the mural and EUerbe and Co., architects of the building. It is undoubtedly the most exciting, because of its particular (Continued on 'page 30) May 8, 1964 21 Student Tutors: A Service to South Bend by Dave Grophear T IS A Wednesday—or Tuesday or It nipped, but did not kill; for at St. John Mission Baptist Educational I Thursday—evening on the Notre the beginning of this school year Mr. Building, and St. Peter Claver House.

May 8, 1964 23 My Fair Lady Several months ago My Fair Lady was finally re leased for nonprofessional production. Rights to this musical have been withheld since its origin in 1955, when it played six straight years on Broadway. The Lemer and Loewe musical has enjoyed success in ELQ the larger cities in this country, as well as London, Tokyo, and many other cities throughout the world. Father Harvey, the director of University Theatre, has waited a long time for the chance to present it at Notre Dame, and when its release was fincdly announced, he was the first to acquire permission for nonprofessional production. Since that time, all theatre work has been directed toward developing a successful show. Although the experimental production of Tlw Caretaker was sus pended, and the cast has been working since the early part of March, the production is so big and involved that they have been hampered by a strict time schedule. But, if this writer's words mean an3^hing, aU the work and effort expended will have been well worth it. As of rehearsal two weeks ago, the song and dance routines were gaining the smoothness that you look for in a pro fessional production. The story of the play, based on Shaw's Pygmalion, appears to be near perfect material for a musical-type show; it offers excellent opportunity for song and comedy. The play opens at the portals of Covent Gar den, where Henry Higgins (Dave Clennon) is taking notes on British dialects ["Why Can't the English?"], notably that of Eliza Doolittle (Marilyn Petroff). He tells her that he and his friend. Col. Pickering (Dave Garrick), can teach her to speak like a lady, so that she no longer need be a flowerseUer, but can open her own shop, and she flirts lightly with the idea ["Wouldn't it be Loverly?"]. Later her father is seen celebrating with his cronies ["With a Little Bit o' Luck"]. Next day, Eliza appears at Higgins' home to ask him to teach her proper diction, and he agrees. However, her Cockney mannerisms and moralities become so exasperating to him that he nearly gives up ["I'm an Ordinary Man"]. She, in turn, is driven to distraction by his thoughtless treatment and incessant instruction ["Just You Wait"]. At length, however, she triumphantly learns correct pro nunciation ["The Rain in Spain"] and they celebrate with a little dance. It is late at night, and the house keeper urges her to go to bed, but she is too exhilarated ["I Could Have Danced All Night"]. Soon after, at the Ascot races, Higgins introduces her to society for the 24 The Scholastic by Thomas Murphy first time, Jind she at once attracts the attentions of Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Dave Van Treese), who follows her home, hoping to see her again ["On the Street Where You Live"]. Finally, after months of hard work, she is ready for the big experiment, and is taken to a splen did ball, where she succeeds brilliantly. After the baU, Higgins and Pickering are congrat ulating each other on their work, completely forgetting Ehza ["You Did It"]. Hurt and angry, she rushes out of the house, running into Freddy. He professes his love, but she demands that he stop talking about it ["Show Me"]. In the meantime, her father, who has now become famous through his philosophies, decides that it is time he married the woman with whom he has been living for years, and spends one last night on the town ["Get Me to the Church On Time"]. The professor, awakening in the morning, discovers his Cockney guinea pig gone and snappishly muses on the frailties of women ["A Hymn to Him"]. He finds Eliza at last at his mother's home, where she has gone for warmth and sympathy, but she refuses his tentative offerings of truce ["Without You"]. On his way back to his own house, Higgins reminisces about the way she has affected his life ["I've Grown Accustomed to her Face"]. Arriv ing at home he sits to listen to recordings of her voice. She quietly enters and the curtain falls. The most outstanding asset of the play is its bal anced cast. This group has put in many hours of hard work, and despite endless repetitions of scenes, has shown unusual enthusiasm. In the play you can expect smooth transitions between songs and dialogue; you can expect a fresh, enthusiastic approach; and you can expect a confident cast working in a consistent setting. The technical work for this type of play is gigantic, and especially so for this particular play with its cast of 38. Besides Father Harvey, the director, those respon sible for the production are John Patrick Hart, scenery design, Mrs. James Michael Lee, choreography, William Cole, choral director, and Dr. Charles Biondo, orchestra conductor. The musical opens Wednesday, May 6, and runs through Saturday, May 9, and May 13 through May 16 the following weekend. There will be matinees on the two Sundays, May 10 and May 17. The box office opens daily at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Syburg, assistant director, has announced that the May 9 performance is sold out, but that there are still good seats left for the May 7, 13, and 17 shows.

The starting hne-up for the Old-Timers doesn't have cin "old"-timer on it. The first team is composed entirely of seniors; all of them are eager to hand these upstarts the eighth varsity loss in the history of the game. In the starting back- field for the Old-Timers are Bill Pfeiffer, Charlie O'Hara, Tom Mac- Donald and Frank Budka while Jim Kelly, George Bednar, Bob Lehmann, Bill Burns, Marty Olosky, Nick Etten and Tom Goberville will test the in experienced varsity line. Part of the enjoyment of the Old- Timers' game at Notre Dame is that each year the football tradition is revitalized, the long heritage of ex citing winning football is brought to life by memories the Old-Timers bring with them when they return. Who doesn't remember the neime of Leon Hart who played on the Notre Dame teams of 1947-49? Hart was named Ail-American in each of those seasons eind in his senior year be came the only lineman to win the Heisman Trophy. Perhaps, the most significant fact about the three sea sons Hart played for Notre Dame was that he and his teammates never lost a game. The Irish were national Champions for three straight years. Hart isn't the only former Notre Dame star returning — his teammate and roommate Bill Wightkin will be here as will Johnny Lattner, Gus Cifelli, Bill "Red" Mack, Myron Pot- tios, Angelo Dabiero, George Izo, Mike Lind, Chet Ostrowski, Ed Hoerster, and the one and" only Ed Burke. Izo, Mack, Pottios, Land, and Burke are all playing professional football, should be in good shape and hence wiU add depth and polish to the Old- Timer attack. The 1964 Old-Timers' game hope fully win mark not only the annual revitalization of old memories but the beginning of a new tradition of winning football at Notre Dame. —^ToM BETTAG May 8, 1964 27 Hurdles for the Track Team AST SATURDAY, in the first outdoor L track meet of the season, the United States Mlitary Academy de feated Notre Dame 9iy2 to Sli/o. Like most facts this doesn't tell the whole story; it doesn't capture excitement or drama, elation or disappointment. Like most facts it is misleading; it makes the loss sound worse than it was. Yet, like most facts it isn't meaningless, and the reasons Army beat Notre Dame reveal a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of the 1964 track team.
