"His and Hers" airplanes and his Chinese pagodas in the back yard, and with this money makes sure that people living near the subsistence level have enough to eat and wear. It reduces extremes of poverty and wealth, such that the uneducated man is not victimized by the society, but has the material stability which is the prerequisite for bettering himself socially and intellectually. From this point of view, the welfare state is the most perfect temporal expression of the needs of Christian charity, since each man becomes responsible for contributing to the material welfare of his fellows, and thus allows them to develop their full potentialities as individuals. While this argument is logical, it seems in one sense to be contradictory. The difficulty with social­ ism, and this varies in proportion to the extent of public ownership, is that it stifles the initiative of the individual, and thus robs the economy of the vitality which only the free-enterprise system engenders. Blowing in the Wind While the poverty of the few may be alleviated, the material development of the many may at the same time be considerably impeded.

4 The Scholastic Last year, in a small Midwestern town, a dying man told police that he had lain half-in, half-out of the Mississippi River for two days while people stepped around him. It was hard to tell whether he died of exposure or from the heart attack which had felled him by the unfrequented walk.

Last year the Notre Dame student body deter­ mined at the mock convention that Henry Cabot Lodge would be the Republican nominee for Presi­ dent.

Life made a large-city subdivision famous. A woman-on-the-street was attacked and stabbed. People threw open their windows to see what was causing the noise. Several shouted. Her attacker ran away. The bleeding woman stumbled on, unas­ sisted. When her assailant returned, the scene was repeated. And still there was no attempt to interfere, and so the attacker returned a third time. It was reported that no one wanted to get involved.

And what do we do? A university newspaper reported that one of its professors had completed a conclusive twenty-year study. His constant observation had led him to be­ —Nothing lieve that the rate of growth of a person's finger­ nails decreases with age.

10 The Scholastic sary for political equality, recognized finally in the Progressive movement. The economic equality meant here is not a mathematically even distribu­ tion, but a remedy of the situation where a small group of "haves" dom­ inates the many "have-nots." To rem­ edy this is the aim of socialism. Though it had antecedents as far back as Plato, socialism did not really appear imtil Marx's reaction to the evils of concentrated capitalism. In Dr. Adler's view, Marx is 90 percent right. His end was proper and his outrage at the situation just. The crucieil mistake came in seeing the problem as one of private ownership of capital whereas it was really con­ centration of it in the hands of the few. The communist solution leads to totalitarianism, a form of government inimical to democracy, but there are still two socialist alternatives left — The General and His Baby Is this design better than the Boeing one of which must be taken if democ­ one?

These comments have run the gamut from tasteless sniping to legalistic theoriz­ ing, but almost all have been critical of the University's stand. A new wave of editorializing was set off recently when a five-man New York appeals court reversed an earlier decision granting an injunction against the movie and both the hard-bound and paperback editions of the book from which it was made. The injunction remains in effect while the Univer­ sity's lawyers prepare an appeal, and the issue may only be settled by the Supreme Court.

14 The Scholastic Inside South Viet Nam by Don Wharton

The Scholastic interviewed Captain Hugh Walker of the U.S. Army's Special Forces, who has recently returned from Viet Nam.

In an attempt to learn something more about the situa­ tion in that particular Southeast Asian country, we talked to Captain Hugh Walker of the U. S. Army's Special Forces, who has recently returned from two six-month tours of duty in South Viet Nam. Captain Walker is the son-in-law of Professor Daniel Pedtke, Director of the Notre Dame Glee Club. During his stay in South Viet Nam Captain Walker spent most of his time in the north central region of South Viet Nam, dealing with the Montqnarde, a general name for the native tribes of Viet Nam, ethnically distinct from the Vietnamese. His main duty there was to operate within and implement the basic defense structure against the Viet Cong, which is called the Strategic Village De­ fense System. The Vietnamese or Montqnarde village is subdivided into a number of hamlets and subhamlets, and may encompass several square miles of jurisdiction. The defense system can be explained in simplest terms as teaching the men in the hamlets and subhamlets, as well as in the village as a whole, the fundamentals of defense, and establishing a communication between the hamlets and subhamlets by way of a simple one-net radio. The Special Forces working in this manner are or­ ganized into twelve-man teams, in which each pair of the six pairs of men have a specialty such as radio com­ munication, intelligence work, medicine, etc. For each of the American teams there is an exact Vietnamese counterpart. During the interview Captain Walker pointed out and explored some of the principal problems involved in the The Oriental is more subtle, more patient, and more apt struggle in Viet Nam, the majority of which the average to see it in all its complexity.

This is but one area in which the challenges and opportimities of student participation are great. This year there is an increased number of faculty and Administration people, many of them young and cognizant of the student point of view, who are more than willing to work with stu­ dents in many different contexts. Next year's students can look for­ ward to more of the same kind of spirited co-operation. Traditionally, this is the time of year when the freshmen begin to emerge from their cocoons and to as­ sume a more active role in the Univer­ sity commimity. Nevertheless, the need for more people on all levels of campus activity cannot be met sole­ ly by freshmen. During the upcoming month, for example, several students wUl vie for the executive oflSces of Student Government. These people and the important issues they wiU present should warrant much more than just our passing interest. More money will solve many of Notre Dame's problems. In large measure, however, how much more challenging and enriching our four years here be­ come depends upon the collective student body. February 19, 1965 17 PATRIOT OF THE YEAR

HE UNIVERSITY THEATER produc­ T tion of Harold Pinter's The Care­ taker is an evening of overall quality that is seldom seen on local stages. There are several reasons for this: (1) It is a brilliant play, one of the most sharply conceived and perfectly written pieces of modem theater, full of "mundane" mystery and rich hu­ mor; (2) Importantly, the play is one comfortably within the limitations of the Washington Hall stage; (3) The play has an excellent cast — David Clennon as Mick, Terry Francke as Davies, and Al Dunn as Aston are talented and experienced actors who are used to working together. Though the production is a tri­ umph of skill and calculation, all of the problems have not been com­ pletely solved. The play demands an alert and absorbed audience, which might be a bit much to expect in Washington Hall. There are two basic adjustments which the audience is called upon to make. First, it must be able to accept the blend of comedy No Longer Funny and tragedy ("for want of a better word," as Pinter has said), it must remain aware of the realistically seri­ ous — or ominously pathetic — con­ text of the hilarious dialogue and ... and Splendid stage business. The comedy, like that of lonesco and Beckett, is always and ultimately horrifying. It is no less funny for that (and the play is filled by Kelly Morris with comic high points, to which the audience of the first two nights re­ sponded with a fuU and loud delight); but funny "to a point." The comedy springs from a variety of sources, mostly from Davies' incredible bra­ vado, Aston's blunt undercutting monosyllables, and Mick's smirkful baiting. There is always an implicit threat in the situation — Davies brandishing his knife twice provides uproarious observations: Mick says, "We just got off on the wrong foot," and Aston flatly notes in the face of the blade, "I don't think we're hitting it off." But "the point" at which the humor is completely recolored is Aston's long — beautifully written — mono­ logue, the curtain speech of Act II. From heie, the whole hideously hu­ man pathos emerges, and the final act orchestrates Mick's tense and violent frustration, Aston's slow- witted, slow-hoped hollowness, and Davies' "noisy stinking" rootlessness to a crushing stammering finish. The second adjustment which the audience must make is to accept be- fuddlement and incomplete under- 20 The Scholastic standing as a legitimate theatrical ex­ viewer feels the production could have have this sort of control — of him­ perience.

He is a distinctive projection of tightly wound dangerous interpretations as does Waiting for nobody, with an obscure past and tension that Clennon achieves.

Al­ shock treatment in a mental hospital, transfer of derbies in Beckett's play, though Francke plainly has trouble and whose thoughts "had become Davies' preoccupation with his shoes getting started at the beginning of very slow," is highly effective and recalls a like moment in Estragon, and Mick's lost cucumber reminds one of Vladimir's carrots and radishes). Abortive motifs, words such as "rights" and "liberty," recur repeat­ edly in Davies' patter. A particularly forceful echo occurs in the last act: early in it, Mick cuts Davies off with "I know what you want," which is re­ called on his Buddha-smashing "THAT'S WHAT I WANT!" Within the frame of harassment and dream- wishes and madness, Davies' trip to Sideup and Aston's shed take on strik­ ing symbolic potency. The room it­ self and the things in it — especially a small Buddha figure — are clearly given value. But the point is that none of these are given other than dramatic value and potency, within and in terms of the play itself.

The most exciting battles, however, take place on the basketball court.

OM LoNGO FAKED A PASS to Paul Costa, £md then fired Ta long pass to Phil Sheridan. Sheridan outdistanced his defender and scored. The names were familiar, but the setting and the sport were different. Sheridan's score took place in Notre Dame Fieldhouse, and the three foot­ ball stars were engaging in one of Notre Dame's most widely participated activities — club basketball. Club basketball was founded in 1955 in order to give more students a chance to compete in the sport. Until 1955, the only intramural basketball was interhall basket­ ball. Geographical and other campus clubs were unable to compete against each other. The club league changed all this. This year nearly 500 students are competing in club basketball, a figure that the interhall league does not approach. The club league consists of nine different leagues and each league is comprised of five or six teams. All games are played in the Fieldhouse. Each game contains quar­ ters of seven minutes running time, which makes it pos­ sible to fit five games into one night. The teams provide their own referees, and this often leads to some interest­ ing moments. To be eligible, a player must be a member of one team only, and he may not compete under an assumed name, be a member of the freshman or varsity basketball team, or be a professional athlete. The campus championship is decided by a single-elim­ ination tournament. In order to reach the tournament, a team must first win its own league. After the interhall league has had its own tournament to determine the haU champion, the winners of the nine club leagues and the eight hall leagues compete with each other to deter­ mine the campus champion. Usually it is a club league team which wins the championship — an indication of the superiority of the league. Spectators enjoy the club league as much as the players do because it provides a unique brand of enter­ tainment It draws some of the top basketball players on campus — players not good enough to make the var­ sity team, but good enough to win honors while competing strength in high school. In addition, it draws the footbeill players, who seem to be as much at home under the backboards as they are on the gridiron. Many of the teams have their own uniforms, an ingredient that adds color, dignity, and a little humor to the game. The players, the color, the speed, and the humor combine to make club basket­ ball a legitimate rival of Sophia Loren movies for the campus pleasure-seekers. Some of the clubs which compete include: the Met Club (Longo, Costa, and Sheridan are some of the stars on this perennial powerhouse), the Chess Club (Tom Kostelnik makes this team one of the strongest in the league), the Lacrosse Club, the Wrestling Club, the Soc­ cer Club, Blue Circle, Knights of Columbus, and Ameri­ can Chemical Society. ROTC gets into the act with the Army, Navy, and Air Force each entering a team. The geographical clubs each enter at least one team. And if you like to see action under the backboards, go see the Monogram Club play. Bob Meeker, Tom Regner, Jim Lynch, Dave Pivec, and Pete Duranko provide the muscle, while Sandy Bonvechio, Tony Carey^ and Nick Rassas supply the speed. It's all part of club basketball — the finest of Notre Dame's intramural sports programs. — STEVE ANDERSON 24 The Scholastic Hockey's Mad, Mad World

February 19, 1965 25 Problems and Potential

HIO IjNrvERSiTY ENTERED THE camival atmosphere of O the ancient Fieldhouse last Saturday afternoon with a 14-4 record and returned to their more civilized Athens with one more loss. The sideshow included a spasmodically flashing scoreboard, whistling backgrounds for foul shoot­ ers, and the monkeyshines of two bouncy referees in a whistle-world all their own. The main attraction, how­ ever, was a fired-up, unusually aggressive Notre Dame team making one final attempt at a tournament bid. With Walt Sahm (see cut) and Ron Reed snapping up 45 points between them, the Irish raised their season record to 12-9. Strong reserve performances by Kevin Hardy, who hit four out of five shots in the first half, and Larry Jesewitz, who registered ten points in five minutes late in the game, helped boost the Irish to their third straight win. Lariy Shefiield brought the crowd to their feet in the last minute of play with a dazzling one- man stall. With 44 seconds remaining, Shefiield literally ran circles around the pursuing Bobcats in a Harlem Globetrotter type fashion. For Johnny Dee and the team, the Ohio victory may have been the big Uft to accomplish their season objective — an invitation to the NCAA tournament. The Irish exhibited a rarely seen toughness which every coach hopes for but cannot develop in his players. Walt Sahm and Larry Jesewitz combined for 37 points in the pivot, re­ asserting the game-tested importance of having a good center. The problems facing a new coach in his first year vary from school to school. On the surface Johnny Dee seemed more fortunate than most.

The purpose of the gathering was to allow an exchange of ideas concerning the di­ rection in which the college is mov­ ing, the place of undergraduates with­ in the college, and student-faculty re­ lations.

He explained that unless a scientist stays up to date in his field through reading and research, he may become outmoded within a few years, and thus of little value as a college-level teacher. Con­ sequently, the University constantly seeks to maintain a high caliber in the post-undergraduate research pro­ grams; in fact, application was re­ cently made for a "sizeable" National S. 1 must admit tlie tliought 4.

Since science and technology play such a key role in our society, this lack places the non-scientist at a distinct cultured disadvantage. The scientist, on the other hand, must learn to deal with a world larger than that en­ closed by his laboratory. One sug­ gested remedy was that lectures on the history and gocils of science be held to complement those which are more specialized and appeal to only a small section of the student body.
