Practically everyone I ever took out to see the empty stadium was ap­ palled at its size. And people can't seem to absorb the idea that the stadiimi is strictly for fcotball and is used only four or five times a year. Another thing that hits them is the vastness of the dining halls; they can't see how anj'thing so big can work. The church seems to be the most impressive thing for all. I've even had non-Catholics tell me that it was the most beautiful chui'ch they'd ever seen. The Grotto afl'ects people diffei'ently.

After a long rest due to exams and vacations, here are some more musical notes . . . "Finian's Rainbow" opened in Chicago two weeks ago and is expecting a long run. Should you have some extra money, you would appreciate the show which has such fine numbers as "How Are Things in Glocca Morra", "If This Isn't Love", "Old Devil Moon", and "Necessity". Music in a more popular vein can be found at the Blue Note, Chicago's own upholstered cellar at 56 West Madison Street. Holding forth in the smoke- filled room is the King Cole Trio but not for long. On the Noi-th Side, Howard Street, Herbie Fields and his sextet make with nice sounds at the Club Sil­ houette, but watch out for that 26 girl when she counts dice.

You Can Change the World, by James Keller, M.M., (Longmans, Green and Co., N. Y., 1948, §3.00).

If one million people in the United States will take the trouble to spread the teaching of Christ by example in the way that the godless work to spread their doctrine, the menace of atheism coVe^e msbn sHouH knotfl and Communism will be defeated. This is Father Keller's assertion, and to this end hs has foi-med the Christophers. You Can Change the Wm-ld is a hand­ book for these people. The emphasis is on individual action, in the vocation of the individual. Taking a leaf from the Communists' book, however, Father Keller especially advocates Christians to exert themselves in the four vital fields which the Communists have tried to con­ trol; education, government, labor, and writing. The professions which Father Keller 1, This is a father.

It is increasingly plain that there is grave danger to both our nation and our re­ ligion from the influence of evil from this direction. Father Keller has given a practical answer to a pressing prob­ lem. If you want to know what you can do, read You Can Change the World.—Garret Bolger

Alma Mater Faces Crisis Notre Dame, whether its students re­ alize it or not, faces a crisis. Like every other private institution of higher learn­ ing in this "progressive" country of ours it's got a fight on its hands. Any day it may be dealt the body blow of Federal Aid to Education. Whether it can roll with the punch and come back for the ne.xt round is, in large measure, up to the Notre Dame Foundation.
