Thus recitations would not only be chock-a-block with important facts but Federal Aid to Catholic Schools would, at the same time, expose the students to the aesthetic delights of great poetry and music.

According to Frank Connolly, club president, a business meet• ing will be held at 7:30 p.m. to make final arrangements for the club's activities. "The aim of the club this year is partici• pation in economics outside the classroom. This will be achieved through informal gatherings of economics majors in the cafe• teria on weekdays afternoons to discuss economic policies and programs," noted Connolly. "Field trips for the coming year are also being arranged to observe the practical appli• cation of banking, data pro• cession, stocks, and production control. The club should have an active and interesting year, and I urge sophomore, junior, and senior economic majors, to attend this evening's meeting," concluded Connolly.
