The Scholastic NEW BOTTLE, OLD WINE: Over the past few years, the process of registra­ tion has been made increasingly less arduous by the simplification of procedure and the use of more automated administrative processes. The march of the automated administrative system is probably inexorable, but perhaps it might be worthwhile to point out some of the more inhuman aspects of it all, in the §simiimw[ic manner of the old hand craftsman facing modem mass production methods. No one, least of all the Office of Academic Affairs, pretends to know how the new registration system will work (see page 11), but in spite of the ex­ perimental character of the new plan, some disturbing aspects of 'it are al­ Vol. 103 No. 10 ready apparent. In the first place, the student will apparently have less control Jan. 12, 1962 over his own time schedule. If his initial requests for sections are not filled, the "system" will prepare a schedule which will descend as though by decree of the Fates. This throws up another block between the students and faculty by making the faculty assignments a matter of IBM roulette as far as the Founded 1867 student is concerned. To him it seems as though the end is to remove control over the process of scheduling as completely as possible from the student. editor-in-chief And just in passing, whatever the dictates of the mechanics of the registra­ tion process, there doesn't seem to be any possible justification for not giving THOMAS WEISS the students copies of the course booklet for ready reference to courses and times available. In this context, we are reminded of an incident at last year's associate editor spring semester registration, when most of the Junior Seminar instructors MICHAEL ZWETTLER were rotated to different sections from those listed in the course book. While this move may have been dictated by last minute necessity, it is only too characteristic that not the slightest attempt was made at registration time news editor to inform the students of such changes. One gets the unmistakeable impres­ JOHN McCABE, sion that officialdom wasn't overly concerned that the students might be misled.

Even in one's most objective moods (and one is seldom objective in this situation) one finds little to recommend Notre Dcune, Indiana, over that sports editor particular area of the world known as home. But, in one respect, the Catholic student who takes Catholicism more or less seriously often finds at Notre Dame JOHN BECHTOLD a welcome relief from the sometimes attenuated religious life of his home Bob Chiappineili, parish. For many students the experience of attending Mass in a church Terry Wolkerstorfer. where the communion rail exists primarily as a barrier between the priest sports sloff—J.C.

And after the availabihty of the sacraments copy editor here, the niggardly rationing of them at many parishes comes as an unpleasant change. Perhaps this is part of a plan to increase the dignity of God by making PHILIP lARRABEE Him inaccessible — or, at least, by giving Him office hours. But it is vdth parochial life as it exists today that we are presently con­ art editor cerned; for, while we are at Notre Dame for only a relatively brief period after THOMAS HANSEN, which we branch into the most diverse of fields, we all shall soon be members Patrick Saxe, Robert Sajnovsky. of some parish. Such a role may seem insignificant; and, considering the present pfiologrophy—Brian Beck, Wes Clark. position of the Catholic layman in most parishes, it is insignificant. But there is no need that it be so, for the layman has a right — indeed, a duty — to layout editor participate in his own salvation. He cannot delegate that right — that duty STEVE PODLAS — to his pastor, nor can the pastor appropriate it; though such a state of affairs would greatly simplify the whole matter. But such simplification is incompatible with the way of Christ: a man is not to be spoon-fed into sanctity. business manager Faced with the American parochial problem, ones most obvious expedient JAY WARD, is, of course, to ignore it — to enclose oneself in the insularity of so-called Art Berry, Bob Buckley, "personal religion."

It is shameful that here at Notre Dame, where the conditions to consider the problem are ideal (where intelligent laymen can meet with intel­ circulation manager ligent clergy), no real attempt has been made. This is a problem which can and JAMES CREAGAN must be met by the intellectual centers of Catholicism, specifically Notre Dame, for here can the barriers of suspicion and conservatism most readily be broken down.

January 12, 1962 13 Vlie Q&od Old ^bai^ 1942

In the year 1942, the Second World War had affected Notre Dame stu­ dents most drastically. The Armed Forces had taken away many of the regular students, but at the same time, the Navy was using Notre Dame as a training center for officer candidates. Morrissey, Lyons, Howard, and Badin by TOM O'BRIEN and AL KILLILEA were all being used for Navy barracks. Because the students wanted to com­ plete as much of thir education as pos­ sible before being drafted, the Uni­ versity was holding full-time summer sessions. Students learned that the ex­ tremes of cold in South Bend during the winter are matched only by the ex­ tremes of heat in the summer. Stu­ dents flocked to the lakes, and con­ ditions there at times actually became too crowded for swimming. The Scho­ lastic continued to publish during Silently, unknown to most Notre the summer, and parts of one of the Dame students, there has been evolv­ more interesting articles from that sum­ ing over a period of years in South mer edition are reprinted here: Bend an unhappy tradition of dis­ crimination against members of our student body. Some of us here at Notre Dame About six years ago, Aubrey Lewis, have heard occasionally of the ghost the first Negro football player in of Washington Hall, but very few, Notre Dame's history, was refused we'll wager, have ever heard this service at one of the most popular restaurants downtown. At that time (Continued on page 19) the reaction from the Notre Dame campus was immediate and decisive.

It wasn't long before the restaurant management realized that the Notre Dame student body would not tolerate discrimination, especially against one of its own. It agreed to serve all Notre Dame students, and it has been true to this policy ever since. Unfortunately, the Aubrey Lewis case did not set a precedent; dis­ crimination casually continued against members of the student body by several other taverns and restaurants, many of which relied heavily on the patronage of Notre Dame students and faculty. At about this time last year, then Student Body President John Keegan established, under the auspices of the senate, the Conmiittee on Civil Liber­ ties to seek a solution to this unjust and hardly subtle discrimination against Notre Dame students.

It was about a week • TWO PERFORMANCES • after John Buckley had had his frightening experience and the vivid description of John's ghost was still in Pio's mind. He was ready to retire for the evening but decided to get a drink before doing so. There were no 'A Fun-Filled Musical Treaf" drinking fountains in the Science building at that time and anyone wanting a drink had to use a hand pump just outside. As Pio approached the pump there suddenly came from the direction of the quadrangle the sound of a sharp breeze. As he turned to see what was causing the noise he saw it. There came out of the dark group of trees, a ghostly white form. The figure headed directly for the steps of Washington Hall. Then Pio recognized the form. It was George Gipp astride a white horse. The figure rode right up the steps (steps THURSDAY—FEBRUARY 8 in Washington Hall went directly to the second story in the front at that FRIDAY—FEBRUARY 9 time) and vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

And for practical purposes—we do. You might call it "testing in depth." Ford scientists and engineers have' devised a gigantic test tunnel that creates monsoon rains and tornadic winds in a matter of minutes.

Huge cylinders beneath test- car wheels imitate every kind of road: from flat, smooth turnpike to rutted mountain trail. Out of it all comes knowledge of how to build better cars—cars that are built to last longer, require less care, and retain their value better. This constant aiming for perfection is just one more way In which research and engineering are earning for Ford Motor Company its place of leadership.
