SOUTH BEND'S LARGEST STORE FOR MEN LETTER

A letter pnnted in last week's SCHO­ LASTIC bemoaned the passing of the flaming Notre Dame spirit. This tveek, SCHOLASTIC staff members Gerard Hekker and Paul Abraham rush to type- %vriter to proclaim that the h-ish spirit is not moribund, but still vibrantly alive. —Editor

Dear Mr. Old Timer, You have returned to Notre Dame after aiding in the winning of a very costly conflict. But that is behind you and many of you, are very willing to forget it! But tell me, Mr. Old Timer, why are you so perturbed at what happened at the Veterans' Smoker? I think you were too ready and willing to find something wrong. Maybe, because you were away so long, you thought there would be some changes. There were many factors that would fall to their favor. At the time the Glee Club was singing, the vast assemblage was enjoying ice cream, cake, and coffee. I think some credit should go to the Glee Club for trying to sing over the din. And I'm sure if one person had made a motion to stand all would have followed suit. Mr. Old Timer, I think you were too AWARD quick to criticize. The spirit that is synonymous with Notre Dame is still here and I don't think it is very dormant.

Coach Langford sees the return of two and three name players to some of the schools on the Notre Dame schedule as trouble-making, but the Irish netters won't be a push-over for anybody. Even Langford cedes only a very few possible losses this year. The most promising non-monogram candidates so far are John Moqrhead, Jack Franz, Bud Seghers, Jack Rodgers, and Phil Lyons. The squad will be woi-k- ed down to 15 or 20 men in the next few weeks, with the remainder going over to the interhall program, which should be at its strongest since 1942 due to the large number of tennis players amonj the returning veterans.

There hap­ pens to be a universal academic "AE" which knocks down our ai-guments of taking more hours than we are now tak­ ing. I guess it has its points but since time changes everything, maybe it should be amended too. A student is The supposed to work two hours outside of class on each subject. Therefore, if a Notre Dame man is carrying 18 hours, he has a 54- hour week, which is considered enough BOOKSTORE for any man. If the University did allow BADIN HALL a student to cai*ry more hours than that, the student might lose all credit for that particular semester in which he sought his degree. The board might decide that the student was not eligible for his de- gi'ee and turn it down on this one basic point.

Before the war came along and CUsiUiortti'si changed many of our plans, it was usu ally accepted that a student would carry as many hours as there were weeks in the semester. This system proved sound and just. But today we are wondering why something can't be done to satisfy yf the many vets returning to the campuses "Spring Rain all over these United States.

This spiritual bonus, sponsored by a group of Catholic Action Veterans, will take the form of a G.I. Eetreat with conferences and informal discussions on topics of fundamental importance. Pros­ pects for a success of the Retreat have been enhanced by the selection of the following priests as Retreat Masters; Fathers Murray, Bradley, and Hesburgh, who will alternate on Retreat Confer­ ences and hear confessions, have had ex­ tensive experience with servicemen dur­ ing the war; Fathers Craddick and Sim- onitsch will conduct Holy Hour Services. The informal discussions will be lead by the Catholic Action Veterans of Badin Hall. Due to limited facilities the number of retreatants must be limited to 200, thus making it necessary to conduct three Retreats on successive week-ends. The first Retreat, for the veterans of Lyons, Howard, and Badin haals, will be made on March 30-31. The Catholic Action Veterans will canvas these halls Our New Men's Shop prior to the Retreat.
