When have a Coke the Dean informs you an extra year has been added to your graduation requirements because the college does not give credit for the four year course in interpretive dancing you took in the Army—laugh. When your roommate tells you in strictest confidence that, due to circumstances at home, he is forced to leave college—immediately laugh long and loud (this will be sure to gain you a reputation for being the understanding type). . . . Become literary minded. Read all your roommate's private correspondence. Be sure to write anonymous letters to persons informing them of all their shortcomings—knock knees, six toes, bad breath, etc. In your spare time, write tasty bits of information about the faculty (if you don't know any use your imagination). Put them on large pieces of poster paper and distribute them among the student body (your popularity will go up and your marks will come down)." Our last contribution is from the "Bonaventure."

In other words, Mr. Riva has eliminated the fourth wall and given both audience and actors a new sense of realism. Judging from comments heard and overheard on "Crown Colony," there is considerable room for argu- ment on one angle of the play. The question is whether the communal Jesuit state is used in the play as an argument for present-day commu- nism. Certain lines suggest that the author is attempting to draw a par- allel, but on the other hand, an at- tempt to found a just and practical social order is not Marxian by ne- cessity. If the playgoer interprets the Jesuit state as nothing more than a just and practical govern- ment, which is destroyed by the forces of worldly greed, then the question of the play's communistic intent disappears. The "Jesuit Re- ductions," as they were called, were, without doubt, a group of Christian communist colonies. When the Spanish inspector pre- when you smoke dicts that the same thing will occur again in years to come, it is not clear whether the playwright intends us to understand that today's moneyed PHILIP MORRIS! classes are out to destroy a commu- nist state or merely any state which is based on a too-high valuation of the goodness of men. No one has a tight to attempt the latter. For while the Jesuit state was communal, it was not Marxian, and its fatal defect lay in striving after an impossible ideal. To this reviewer's mind, the fault lies with the author for not CLEAN,FRESH, PURE making more clear his intent. If he merely wanted to show a tragedy of idealism, then the question of com- America's flHtST Cigarette? munist intent is of no import, There is room for criticism of Mr. Albert McCleery's direction on this 5;Of course the flavor's ALL yours— score.

NEW YORK S8 the management of industry," the BRONX 58, N.Y. Freshman Forum is making plans SEdfwiek 8^600 for the climactic debate of the year —the Freshman Prize Debate. The preliminaries will be held this afternoon from noon to 1:30 P. M., in the Little Theatre of Keating Hall. Most of the members of the Forum have signed-up for the itry-outs. The contestants will discuss the question, "Resolved: That the Truman policy on Greece and Turkey is conducive to world peace." The contestants will defend either side of the ques- tion, and the debate will consist of one-man teams. The best speakers will be chosen to take part in the Prize Debate. To date this year the Forum has had three outside debates on the 1 a b o r-management question. On Tuesday, March 18, the negative team of Joseph Cox and James De- Foe ceded the victory to C. C. N. Y. DAVE "BOO" FERRISS in a lively and close debate. Last Tuesday the freshman debaters leading pitcher of the played host to the Columbia Debate American League—W.-25 L-6 Council in the Little Theatre of Keating Hall. Defending the af- firmative, Joseph Maloney and John Brant pointed out how the plan has worked and huw it would lead to prosperity. However, Timothy Lar- kin and Arthur Nolan of Columbia won the debate by citing the pres- ent emergency as the cause for strikes and holding that labor and management would be able to agree through profit sharing plans, and compulsory arbitration. Also last Tuesday, George Fisher and Edward Charbonneau met the Yeshiva debaters at Yeshiva College. They maintained the negative in the contest, but there was no deci- sion. In the one intra-Society debate since ithe Easter holidays, William Pucker and William Bosch main- tained the affirmative of the Tru- man policy against Joseph Serpe and John Tatoli. In this debate, a preview of this afternoon's contest, both sides and the many implica- tions of Mr. Truman's policy were considered in great detail. Sodality Members Speak in Parishes The Rev. Phillip S. Hurley, S.J., Upperclass Sodality Moderator, dis- closed Tuesday that the Speakers' Bureau of the Sodality of Our Lady has filled several engagements in nearby churches this month with others scheduled for next month, in- cluding eight Communion Break- fasts on Mothers' Day and five ap- pearances before high school New- man Clubs. Those who have already spoken include: Robert Geirjnger, '47, who spoke on the topic, "Why Is the Church Persecuted?"; Andrew Ken- Ion, '48, whose theme was "Indiffer- entism: The Present Day Heresy," and Aurelio Montinola, '47, whose talk was centered about "Labor Management Relations." A lecture on "The Assumption of Our Lady" was delivered by Robert Halton, while James Shields spoke on "The Inconsistencies of Communism," and Edward Patterson's topic was "Eu- thanasia." John Duffy, '47, spoke on this same topic. Alexis Flores, '47, spoke on "Communism in the Philip- pines" and Gerald Flynn, '47,'deliv- ered a lecture on the theme, "The Issues in Spain." The subject for the talks to be given in May will be "Our Lady of Fatima and her appeal for prayers for Russia."
