Please pardon the telegraphic aspect of these news items; there is no attempt at styl e, nor order; we mean to "run right on" with no idea of giving very full accounts. For time and space is short and we have no tim e for revision; or as the cavalryma n sa id: "I've no time to light down to see myself on horseback." The dominant idea is to narrate digestible tidbits that any Hoya's appetite might relish. We will try to bring you up to date on Campus happenings.

A glittery but relatively green crew of Georgetown basketball hopefuls opens the season this week, and while head coach Buddy O'Grady, who is returning for his second year at the helm, can't help but be impressed by the height of the squad; he is also fearful that the 21 game slate may prove to be a little too much for his charges. Gone through graduation are all of last year's starting five, which included Captain Dick Falvey, high scoring Tommy O'Keefe, and bulwark of the backboards, Johnny Brown.

Last June when the College class of '50 graduated from Georgetown, they presented the school with a gift as a thank you for their four years here as undergraduates. Th~ gift given to the school was a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, made of carrara marble in Italy. The statue is placed directly behind the flagpole facing Copley. This idea all began last November when the College sen ior class appointed Ralph Gallagher, Prefect of the Sodality, as head of the senior gift committee. He formed his committee, and after a poll of the senior class for possible gifts, the statue was decided upon as the best idea. The class felt that a statue of Our Lady should have a prominent place on the Georgetown c_ampus to increase devotion, and also so that May devo· ~Ions, a daily event in May for the College, could be held lll a suitable place. The committee decided that $2,000 would have to be raised to pay for the gift and a set amount was asked of each member of the class on a voluntary basis. Many gave more than the amount requested, and this fund wa~ helped by a very successful minstrel show which the e~tne school pitched in to make a great success finan­ Cially and also entertainment-wise. All told, over $3,000 it possible to buy the was raised, and this amount made OUR LADY OF FATIMA back~round surrounding the statue. It is hoped that In the future, with the money still remaining, lights PAX may be set up to shine on Our Lady every night during the school year. Class of 1950 ~he statue wasn't without mishap, as it was broken board ship in Italy. A new statue wh1le being placed on In this troubled world, this statue is a very fitting was made, arriving just in time to be blessed and dedi­ gift to remind all of the peace Mary promised at Fatima cated at graduation. The base is inscribed with these words: if her wishes are fulfilled.
