ON THE CAMPUS . . . NOTRE DAME Editorials

A House is not a Home The University is building two new high-rise dormitor­ ies north of the library. These dorms will alleviate the overcrowded living conditions and enable many off-campus to return to campus. However many students are afraid that when these buildings are completed, the Administration will coerce students to live on campus. We agree with Fr. Hesburgh that Notre Dame is and should be a residential university. But the Administration does not realize that there are many valid reasons for living off-campus. Many students do not want to live in cramped rooms and be subject to the restrictions on cars and girls in the room. K, when the dorms are completed, on-campus living becomes more attractive, people will return. But these decisions should be left to the individual student. If a student chooses to live off-campus it does not necessarily mean he will take no interest in the University. On the contrary, the extra freedom offered by living off-campus may increase his awareness and responsibility. In addition, living off-campus should encourage the students to become more involved in the problems of South Bend. The University should not be a place of seclusion where the student ignores the problems of the outside world. This is the effect of forcing students to live on campus. A residential university cannot be built by force. ~R.M. The Scholastic Them and Us The interview which Father Hesburgh recently granted the SCHOLASTIC editors left us with a few impressions which didn't appear in the written interview but which might we well to share. There were a couple of obvious reasons for the interview: It's generally a good idea to have the thoughts of the University's President down on paper — just for the record. And we can always count on a story about Father Hesburgh being read. Of course, we have noble motives, too. We want to be a forum for all good opinion, a communication-gap bridge, a middleman for all the factions that make up this self- contained little city-state. But our attempts never quite match our hopes. Our wires are forever getting crossed. The main reason, per­ haps, is that our form is by nature limited. No written interview can really substitute for being there in person, for hearing, seeing, talking to and feeling the other human being. Because we talked to Father Hesburgh personally, we think we have a better understanding of what he is about and why. Naturally, we still disagree with him on many points. But our disagreement is tem­ pered with sympathy for the responsibility he bears. But if we have such a big problem with our limited Student Power personal communication with the Administration, what of the students at large, who have no or very little contact Last week Richard Rossie won an overwhelming at all? Well, wait, there is a communication of sorts, but victory as Notre Dame's Student Body President. The one- it's all of a kind, and it's usually all bad. It comes in sidedness of the election results came as a surprise to the "directive" form from Father Riehle and in "letter" form most zealous Rossie supporters; they had not anticipated from Father Hesburgh. such an impressive mandate from the students.

Bryce Parker m, publicity director for the convention under Chuck Nau of the University Academic Commission. Parker, one-time disc jockey for WSND, who has also been associated with several radio stations in his na­ tive Texas, is no stranger to the mass media and communications fields. Parker states that his basic job is to organize a clearing house for all convention communications, candi­ dates' statements, and delegation fly­ ers, and to coordinate the national and local press coverage of the con­ 12 The Scholastic i?"

Miss Muench should be familiar to many theatergoers, having played Pegeen Fike in Playboy of the West­ ern Worlds and, more recently, Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire. James Bodary, as the Doctor, adds much comedy to the melodrama, with his psychological, semi - Freudian, analysis of Henry's "insanity." Mi­ chael Dooley plays the Marquis Carlo di Nalli, nephew of Henry. Maureen Coyne is cast as Frida, 19-year-old daughter of the Countess and fiancee of the Marquis. These five characters have arrived at Henry's villa for one final attempt at a possible cure for "Henry." Don Dilg, Timothy J. Donovan, Wil- lem O'Reilly, and John-Paul Mustone are cast as privy councillors, paid by the Marquis to serve the German "Emperor." Their opening scene es­ tablishes the setting for the play.

FRUSTRATING AND CRUMBLING H. Bryce Parker m, publicity di­ rector for the Notre Dame Mock Convention, former announcer for WSND, this week announced public­ ly his reasons for resigning from the campus station. The popular ex-host of the RequestfuUy Yours Show stated that he did not leave the station to take the position with the convention, but was asked to take the job when it was learned he had already resigned from WSND. He listed the main reason for his departure as pure frustration. "Not only was it personally frustrating to my creative genius, not only was my own show being held back and low­ ered in quality, but all of the station's talent, of which there was a great deal last fall, has been wasted. Be­ sides this, the station is physically crumbling. It needs complete repairs as much as the management needs renovation. It was finally a dispute RIVER CITY REVIEW with the management that caused MR.

But, despite his spasms and his ears which had changed at least five shades of blue, Boswell demanded that they go to the source of this music and talk person­ ally with the leader. This they did, and 36 hours later they had learned a great deal. They learned that the musicians were some of the participants in the 1968 Collegiate Jazz Festival. To their amazement, their sensitive musical ears had been deaf to previous Festi­ vals, even though the CJF was ten years old and had been written about in most major publications including the widely-read adult comic book, Twie. In addition they learned that this music was not a new brand of rock 'n roll or folk music. Nor was it directly related to any archaic or non- toe snapping music of previous cen­ turies. Incredible! Furthermore, they were shocked to learn that this music, while not having repetition or lyrics, was lively and compelling and was the driving force behind almost 200 people of their own age. Yet, after being How I Learned to Appreciate convinced that it was worth their while to part with a few dollars to gain a new experience at the CJF, they discovered that the 200 partici­ pants were certainly not amateurs.

The second session of the symposium took place at 10:00 a.m., Saturday morning and dealt with "The Role of the Jazz Composer- Arranger". This was somewhat tech­ nical, but Boswell and Dusko loved it because it helped them understand what they heard at the Festival. The biggest regret that Boswell and Dusko had after the CJF was all over was that they had not attended the CJF pre-Festival concert "The Chi­ cago Fire." This "blues-rock-jazz aleatory group" performed in Stepan Center at 7:30 pm Sunday, March 3. The instrumentation for the group in­ cluded three guitars, an electric cello, an electric flute, an electric organ, a tape recorder, and a vocalist. The Fire played all types of music, much of which. was used to demonstrate a lecture by their leader, William Russo, on improvisation.

In addition to the paid staff at the hospital, about 123 volunteers help with the children as aides. About 40 Notre Dame students and 32 SMC girls are in the program. We stopped at a playroom where Chris Basche, a Moreau student, was playing with a group of kids. He was giving one child a ride on his shoulders while two or three others were riding go-carts in circles around him. Another tiny boy was shooting baskets with fantastic accuracy cuid intense concentration. Helping these kids is demanding, but perhaps more rewarding in terms of response than some of the volunteers' other tasks.

Mar. 1, 1968 ^> BASKETBALL'S DEE Talks About: the season, the NIT, the new arena

Interview by RAY SERAFIN and MARK SEEBERG

Scholastic: Coach Dee, how will Notre Dame's entrance into the NIT affect this school and your basketball pro­ gram here? Coach Dee: I think it's a real plus-factor for our pro­ gram. It comes at a time when our program is reaching its final stages; it helps us because it's a major tourna­ ment, and getting invited is recognition of the work these boys have been putting into basketball (in helping us raise it to a high plain). I think it proves that Notre Dame has a real interest in its basketball program. Because we haven't gone to the NIT in the past we've been handicapped in our recruiting. Scholastic: Did you expect any difficulties in being allowed by the University to accept the bid? Coach Dee: 1 don't believe there has ever been a time when Notre Dame has been extended an invitation to the NIT alone. By that I mean that in the past seven Notre Dame appearances in the post-season toiirnaments, both the NIT and the NCAA were interested in Notre Dame and, of course, the NCAA would take precedence at any time. So it's not so much that there has ever been a policy against it, I just think that it's the first time an invitation has been extended. Naturally, I was thrilled when Fr. Joyce, Mr. Krause, and the athletic board OK'd our ac­ ceptance. Scholastic: Looking back over the season, has the team lived up to your preseason expectations? Coach Dee: Back in November I went over the coming schedule, trying to estimate our chances against each opponent. As you know I'm not a pessimist, but I put down UCLA as the only definite loss of the year — it was at Los Angeles, it was with two West Coast oflBcials, and so on. I put us down for 16 wins, teams I thought we could beat, and I had nine question mairks. From this I felt we could come up with a season between 17-9 and 23-3, and so I think we've lived up to my expectations. Way down deep I felt we could win at least 11 of our
