The Scholastic The Notre Dame GIFT OF TONGUES: Anyone who is familiar with the requirements and foundations of postgraduate study and the contemporary trends in education generally, cannot but be struck by the growing importance of modem language study. The federal government and major private foundations are spending more Skjyiiifrtf and more each year to improve language training in colleges and high schools; the National Defense Education Act provides for many new fellowships for advanced language study; and Fulbright and other program administrators Vol. 103 No. 20 bewail the sad state of the language background of most college graduates. April 13, 1962 Thus it is puzzling that at Notre Dame most people seem to be quite un­ concerned about the miserable state of our own Modern Language Department. Presently, there is a total of only ten senior modem language majors; there Founded 1867 is no graduate program at all in the department; there are no composition courses in either French or German; and the advanced literature courses editor-in-chief struggle along, barely attracting enough students to maintain their existence. THOMAS WEISS Ironically, it is often only because of the requirements of the math and science students that an advanced literature course can survive. Further, any serious associate editor graduate student should have a good background in at least two languages, MICHAEL ZWETTLER and yet there is no regular course given to prepare graduate students for the language proficiency examinations. This year, at the initiative of the English news editor department, a non-credit German course was successfully arranged for this JOHN McCABE, ' Ken Arnold, Joe Caspar, purpose, but the language department ought to have such courses as part of Pete Clark, Jim Wyrsch. the regularly scheduled curriculum.

At this point the problem is admittedly layout editor difficult to solve: there seems to be little justification for more advanced STEVE PODLAS courses without students interested in taking them. On the other hand, the paucity of good courses does very little to attract students.

In his vigorous by ROBERT R. GREEN and WILLIAM R.

Had Mr. W. read the Juggler he would have discovered, in an essay by George Lensing, T. S. Eliot's expla­ nation of modern poetry, and a key to the "dilemma" faced by campus publications. In his essay on "The Metaphysical Poets" Eliot states that "poets in our civilization, as it exists at present, must be difficult. . . . The Poet must become more and more comprehensive, more alusive, more indirect, in order to force, to dislo­ cate if necessary, language into his meaning." Modem poetry is not merely "conventional" poetry put into a semantic labyrinth. Mr. Wiedemann may not "like" modern poetry, he may not "like" student efforts, and that is his prerogative (for as Henry James said "all that we can demand of art is that it be interesting"), but to condemn college poetry as college poetry is to say little, poorly. The author's romantic view of Jug­ gler "policy is eminently ludicrous." There simply is no closed circuit communication system, no "self-per­ petuating oligarchy, no clique, no "false conceptions" or "false stand­ ards." The Juggler is a vehicle for the artist.

Indeed, the Bob James Trio, the with this degree of "togetherness" some of the big bands were closer to Henderson big band, the Indiana Jazz I can think of — and this mutual dance bands than to real, functioning Combo, the Michigan State Orchestra, sympathy is obviously due at least in jazz ensembles; it would be foolish to the Lahm-Brasher Duet, and North part to the fact that each member deny that in over 20 hours of college Texas' magnificent, superlative or- thoroughly enjoys what he is doing- The bassist, Ron Brooks, said that 18 The Scholaslic the group was originally formsd simply "to have some fun" playing together. And this is exactly what happens:' the group plays together, and has and generates a terrific amount of pleasure. As Quincy Jones said of the trio, "It's the only jazz group I've seen where the drummer watches the piano player." And piano player-leader Bob James, besides be­ ing a fine and a firm leader of his group, is also one of the most tech­ nically proficient and swinging pi­ anists I have heard. His style re­ minds one just a little of Thelonious Monk, perhaps because James, like Monk, has the sense to play with both hands, to play a piano and not an elaborate guitar, an attitude unhap­ pily absent in most post-Bud Powell piano players.

It would be easy to allude to something like the Jug­ gler's "unappealing corporate image" and blame the trouble on this chi­ mera. But I do think the Juggler has, inadvertently, hung out a "No help wanted" sign. I think it appears as a MB closed shop, an appearance which I think no one connected with the Jug­ gler wishes to put forth. The editors of the Juggler want good copy, the best they can get their hands on, for they would be silly if they did not. But I don't believe that they are en­ by CARL F.

It was my purpose that good, not evil, should come to the Juggler as a result of my article, that those who disagree should discuss their grievances openly and not become solidified and con­ tentious or sullen and smouldering about their divergent opinions. Had I not believed that the Juggler would ultimately benefit, I would have glad­ ly kept my views to myself. Publication of student writing is a fine thing, as I said, but I think the condition of student i)oetry at Notre Dame is unhealthy. I believe the pub­ lication of student prose fiction and essays is in a similar difliculty. The question is whether the poetry published in the winter issue of the Juggler is on the whole good, or, as I will attempt to prove, not good. Whether the editors and writers of the Juggler decide that I am just mistaken or that everything about the Juggler should be reorganized and revamped will not matter if they have scrutinized their publication, for then I will have succeeded in my efforts.

According to Kuharich, both "have similar traits, but different long Tomorrow afternoon the Varsity may once again suits."

THE GOAL THE QUESTION The job of the Varsity tomorrow besides winning These are the areas to watch in tomorrow's game. (they should make short work of even this talented Old- Whether the basic assets of this team can be united Timers squad) will be to show not merely the talents to provide the over-all balance that is required for of a few top performers — as often has been the case the development of a winning team could be answered in in the past — but that this intangible goal, the "winning tomorrow afternoon's Old-Timers contest. complex," is being carefully developed in this unit for the — John Bechtold upcoming fall campaign. The best way to show this is with a consistent running offensive, an explosive passing attack, a steady forward wall, and a sparkling pass defense. While no one has a right to expect highly polished performances in each of these areas at this early date, an indication of advancement in each of these areas is necessary for the Notre Dame fan to look hopefully to the 1962 season. "We have a good consistent ground attack," according to captain Mike Land. Evidence seems to bear out this statement. Lind, the key to the attack, will probably be a prime Ail-American candidate at the fullback post. Kuharich feels Gerry Gray is once again showing the form that made him the Irish's leading ground gainer in 1959. Even with the departure of leading rushers Angelo Dabiero and George Sefcik, the halfback position is well- manned by talented performers. At times Tommy Mac- Donald has looked like his professional namesake at the left halfback slot. Chuck O'Hara, Denny Phillips, Frank Minik and Ed Rutkowski provide good depth at the posi­ tion. So far this spring, freshman Don Hogan has more than lived up to his advance notices. However, it is very doubtful if Paul Costa can top his Old-Timers* per­ formance of last year in this season's encounter.

The steady improvement of Ed Hoerster at center and the emergence of Dave Humenik s-t a tackle post has made Kuharich's rebuilding job easier. Ed Burke, Mickey Bitsko, and Bob Lehmann should be more than adequate replacements for the graduating seniors. The big problem in the line at the present time is a lack of depth after these starters. On the development of this depth the success or failure of the 1962 squad could depend. Pass defense has been stressed during this last week of practice.
