We, One People Editor: The editorial "we" is in good taste in unsigned editorials and in editors' comments. Probably no one can criti­ cize the use of "we" in signed articles when the writer expresses thoughts w-hich he shares with others. But it seems to me that this poor pronoun can be overworked. In Mr. Thoren's article last week, the words "we," "us," and "our" (obviously meaning "I," "me," and "my") occur at least eleven times in the first three paragraphs. For ex­ ample : " . . . WE promptly managed to get bit by the flu bug ..." "Doc Egan stuck the thei'mometer into OUR mouth ..." "... the penicillin needle made OUR arm look like a piece of Swiss cheese and OUR temperatiire Van Gab sport shirts started to descend ..." (The caps are my owai.)

Bengal Finalists Clash Tomorrow Night

Knights to Recognize CYO'S Bishop Sheil Tomorrow evening in the Fieldhouse an overflow crowd will watch the 16 survivors out of a field of 90 entrants slug it out for eight championship croNATis in seven weight divisions in the finals of the 19th annual Bengal Bouts. There will be no 142-pound award this year due to lack of fighters in that weight class. However, there will be two 167-pound trophies awarded be­ cause of an over-abundance of sluggex's in that particular division. Co-Chairmen Dick Cullen and Bob Savage have announced that this yeai^'s honorary referee and recipient of the annual Bengal Bout Recognition Award will be Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago.
