Vol.101 No. 20 DEATH, AGAIN: For the third time this year, it is our unfoi-tunate responsibility to note the death of a member of the senior class. In a tragic plane crash in Southern MARCH 25, 1960 Indiana last week, Jay Bachner of River Forest, 111., was killed. After two of our I classmates had already met death in tragic accidents since Christmas, few of us ex­ pected it to happen again. Nonetheless, it has. It is hard to know what to say other than that we extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Jay Founded 1867 Bachner.

editor-in-chief NO PEP RALLY: The 1960 Marriage Institute is now more than halfway com­ RONALD BLUBAUGH pleted with only two moi-e talks to go. As usual it has been handled very well and associate editors has been largely successful. There is, however, one impoi-tant aspect of this series of talks which needs decided improvement. And this aspect is rather important: the E. (TED) THOMPSON audience. From the very look of the group that pushes into "Washington Hall on CHARLES TAUSCHE Wednesday nights it appears that most seniors feel that they are attending a pep rally or at best a "di-ess do^vn" party, and their looks betray their actions. In the *. news editor and staff atmosphere created by sloppy-looking shirts, kahki pants, unshaven faces and the ROY RUBELr like it is not unusual to see some members of the audience stretched out in their Wade Clarke . chairs in an almost horizontal position. This appearance of the senior class before Arthur Graham speakei-s brought to the Univei-sity is indecorous enough, but this atmosphere also Thomas Weiss creates a cei"tain feeling among the students which apparently allows them to inter­ rupt speakers, laugh at their mistakes in speech and othei"wise mdely treat the features editor and staff guests. Certainly this is not the idea behind the Mamage Institute. CHARLES RIECK It is not our intention to suggest complete foiinality at such a session. The fact Francis Smith that suits are worn to almost all other functions at Washington Hall, however, tends Thomas Sullivan to suggest that at least some sort of "dressing up" (although not necessarily coats . William Sweeney. and ties) is in order. Many of the students who came to the first meeting dressed in William Yeeder , this manner abandoned it because they could see that no one else apparently felt the Institute was worth dressing up for. Perhaps something can be done about this as­ sports editor and staff - pect of audience "participation" for the next two talks, and possibly this more serious THOAAASROSE attitude of dress will be reflected in the conduct of the audience. We certainly hope so. William Cary J. (Jay) Kilroy THE UNIT-RULE AND DELEGATION PACKING: The unit-rale proposal, adopt­ copy editor and staff ed by the Rules and Regulations Committee of the Mock Convention (in this case, the WALTER RUDGE campaign managers of the various candidates), has afforded a further opportunity George Casey for the packing of state delegations that has been going on since before the first state Peter Geniesse meetings. The involved proposal stipulates that the number of votes needed to obtain . Thomas Marciniak the unit-rule will vary according to the composition of the delegation. If more than half the members of a state are native residents of that state, 90 per cent of these art editor native residents must vote to install the unit-rale. On the other hand, if less than JERRY FLORENT half the members are natives of the state, 90 per cent of the entire delegation, includ­ ing nonresidents, is required. photographer This has encouraged the efforts of some of the campaign managers to load the WALTER DALY; Jr: undermanned state delegations with people who will vote for their candidates regard­ less of the delegation in which they serve. If a campaign manager can staff these business nianoger ond stoff delegations, especially those of Southeni and Far Western states, with his people, he ROBERT HORN can swing a majority of the votes in these states for his man, even though the dele­ Thomas Carey gation would then be voting contrai-y to the way the state delegation would vote if it Joseph Rnnigan were true to the state's prefei'ences. As an example, if Kennedy backers were to populate the Alabama delegation, they could marshal the majority of the votes in the circulation manager state behind Kennedy, something which is not likely to happen in Los Angeles this LAWRENCE LEACH summer. Some of this packing is expected since certain states' quotas of delegates were not filled by residents, but both the campaign managers and the individuals who moderator join these undermanned delegations must use their heads in this mattei-.

14 The Scholastic QfUUcaUtofU^OHl Clarification of the African political scene is the goal of this week's feature article by Joe Taderero, senior from Southern Rhodesia. Instead of categorizing the political ideologies of new independent states in European terms, Taderero emphasizes the necessary revision of standard labels into concepts suitable for cultural realities alien to the rest of the world. Finally, he considers the African attitude towards ecojiomic systems — will Africa be an equivalent of Communism or Capitalism, or will it be neither?

Ciardi. Also shelved in the Dante Library are bound volumes i After the celebi'ation of the sixth centenary of Dante's bii-th in 1865, many public, institutional, and proprietary li­ 4 braries in America made liberal purchases of his volumes. In 1892 Willard Fiske began a Dante collection at Cornell, and at about the same time Chai'les Eliot Norton began what was to be the nucleus of Har\-ards' Widener Dante Library. Much encouragement was given to the Dante movement by the Dante Society of Amenca, which has numbei'ed among its members several authors of national fame. James Russel Lowell, asso­ ciated •v\'ith the society for sevei-al years, once remarked: "Almost all the poets have their seasons, but Dante penetrates to the moi'al core of those who once fairly come within his sjihere, and possesses them Avholly. His readers turn students, his students zealots, and what was a taste becomes a religion." This peneti-ating quality of the great Catholic poet caused Rev. John A. Zahm, himself a profound scholar, to begin a private Dante collection. He searched the book-marts of America and Europe, purchasing many valuable editions of the Divhia Commedia with royalties from his o\vn Avritings. When Father Zahm died in 1921, he left a rare collection of Dante volumes to the University of Notre Dame. The Zalmi Dante Collection is now housed in the northwest corner room on the second floor of the libraiy building. Over 4,000 volumes, including editions of the Divina Commedia, biographies, and critical studies of Dante, ai-e shelved amidst a Florentine decor: portraits and medallions of Dante and painted scenes fi*om his writings. Here, in this almost for­ gotten coi-ner of the library, we might well look out over St. Mary's Lake and accept Dante's own advice: "Now rest thee reader! on thy bench and muse Anticipative of the feast to come So shall delight make thee not feel thy toil."

HE Zahm Collection is one of the best in the world. Only Tthe Fisk Dante Libraiy at Cornell and Harvard's Wide­ ner Dante Libraiy contain more volumes, and it is believed by many that the Zahm collection surpasses both of these in quality. Of the fifteen Dante incunabula (works written be­ fore 1501) extant Notre Dame possesses eight. The earliest of these is a 1477 edition of the Divina Commedia printed in Venice by Vendeln da Spira. The first Florentine edition of of the learned societies: Giormale Dantesco, Societa Dantesca 1481, printed by Nicolaus Laurentii, is perhaps the prize of Italiana Bulletino, Deutsches Dante-Jahrbuch, and Studi Dan- the Zahm collection.

For all of you interested in Eastman Color, stereophonic sound, 70 mm film, and various other gimmicks. The Big Fisherman (State: Mar. 17-30) is for you. Also thrown in as added attractions are such name stars as Howard Keel, Susan Kohner, John Saxon, and Martha Hyer. Howard plays Simon-Peter, the big fisherman. For most of this movie, however, the big fisherman is lost in a sea of gimmicks. All of you young teen-age girls across the Gi-eat Divide may be more intei'ested in teen-idol John Saxon. He's Hollywood's answer to Stonty Mickles, but he can't kick worth a golden toe. At Washington Hall tonight, the Artists Series presents Kosalind Elias, a young mezzo-soprano from the Metropolitan Opera. Miss Elias not only has a good voice, but is not entirely unpleasant to look at — an accomplishment in this age of over­ weight, middle-aged Wagnerian mammoths. Curtain time is at 8:30.

Both sides of the picture leave a lot to be desired, besides causing campus enough confusion as to what exactly 4 democracy is. Here, for the one side of character: the argument, the mistake people are prone to make is to expect these newly independent African states to operate on an inch-to-inch pattern of any one of the many types of the Western democra­ cy. For such a measure would be far from being profitably practical. The African democracy like all other types also reserves the rights of being suited to the traditions, values, social and eco­ nomic conditions now obtaining within the African community. Whereas dif­ ference for difference's sake has never been the wise man's measure, mimicry for mimicry's sake may reduce the situ­ ation to that of a monkey over a looking glass. What Western critics tend to overlook is the fact that democracy, communism, socialism, totalitarianism, etc., are politi­ cal formulae which are products of edu­ cation or an advanced civilization. Ex­ cept for the n^ligible African elite, the generality of the masses are still far MANNING from able to understand what these ideas are.

The 1957 Accra Pan Afri­ can Conference placed a landmark in African united front calling for more and more coordinated activity. The ex­ isting front does not only have the en­ P*n ... thusiasm and the vigor, it also com­ mands the tempo of planned action. The present basis of unity is nationalism which is a human emotional response that is not a political measure in itself. Undeniably it has been a foundation stone for all nations — it is not diiferent for Africa. Nationalism is not a politi­ cal measure or the guiding principle of a political entity. Some force more basic has to be super-imposed over and above this emotional flare like materialism, so­ cialism, etc. Apparently no one particu­ lar such ideology exists in Africa yet. But obviously such a political uniting force on which the African political community shall stand will bear signifi­ cant features of the existing systems, with the high probability that the force will be far superior to that uniting any of the present systems.

Sachsei Travels to Maryland To Compete in NCAA Match Jerry Sachsei, 123-pound senior wrest­ ler from Gai-wood, N. J., is the first No­ tre Dame grappler ever to compete in the NCAA Championships. The NCAA tourney is being held this week end, March 24, 25, 26, at the University of Maryland. Coach Fallon accompanied Sachsei on the trip. In three years of varsity competition Sachesl never lost a dual meet as he compiled a 27-0-2 record. As a sopho­ more he won eight, lost none and tied one. In his junior year Sachsei moved up to the 130-pound class where he racked up a perfect 10-0-0 mark.

Making the counselor "devoid of aU outward signs of author­ ity" and at the same time, "responsible for the general demeanor of the stu­ dents" seems to be a practical contra­ f diction.
