The Scholastic ONE OF OUR READERS, Mr. R. S. Davis of Zahm Hall, poses some interesting questions about the Seniors' midnight lights via the "Letters Column," which you'll find on page three oi this week's issue. Mr. Davis is of the opinion that, (unless) they are established for economical reasons, the idea of imposing even midnight lights on students is "absurd." The contention which Mr. Davis holds isn't unusual; in fact, you might say it's legion among Notre Dame students. The only objection to the policy, which our reader also mentions, is the fact that "some students would (always) create disturbances." This isn't just the only objection, however. It's the heart of the matter. The administration has already hinted that if it weren't for this particvilar group of students, the midnight" lights would be granted on a permanent basis not only for Seniors, but for all classes. It might not be too "absurd" to stretch that hint a little farther and say that everybody could possibly have all-night lights if it weren't for the unnecessary disturbances which a certain few students make even after 11 o'clock. In proposing that "quite a bit more personal initiative and respon­ sibility would be created if students were allowed to pattern their conduct freely," our reader brings up the same argument which won the privilege of midnight lights for Seniors in the first place. In other words, the extended lights policy is an experiment to determine if the argument holds water. The report, which SCHOLASTIC has compiled for this issue, indicates that a few students who create unnecessary distiurbances are forming one of its most serious leaks. Perhaps it all boils down to the old adage that "for the sins of a few, many must suffer." We hope not. In any event. SCHOLASTIC'S editors appreciate letters such as Mr. THOUGHT OF THE WEEK — 2iTmd Davis' which indicate serious thinking and constructive criticism. With nationwide charges of alleged subversion this sort of response, there's a better chance the seemingly "absurd" policies in everything from printing houses to fox­ governing student life will take on a complexion of "sanity" more readily. holes — comes from the desk of Editor Gordon Hayes, of the Tulane University Tulanian: "A university is a place where the minds of men . . . are free.

The Committee for Revisions is now trying to find out which of these reasons prompted you, if you were one of the non-payers, to shun the tax. It will mean that either: (a) the students don't want to pay any taxes, and would rather let the admim'stration handle their problems, or; (b) the students want to reduce the present tax rate. They'll be discussing it again Monday night. If you have anything to say, speak up. You're going to pay the taxes.

An article in a recent paper, reporting the death of Will Hays, said in pait, "the 'Hays office' code of good taste in movies remained entrenched until recently, when signs of rebellion began to appear." This "rebellion" has become quite evident to the public lately, mainly through three events—the release of The Momi Is Blue, the release of Howard Hughes' The French Line, and the attack on the code by Samuel Goldwyn. It seems to be the opinion of quite a few people of importance in the movie industry that the censorship code should be studied with the idea of loosening some of the restrictions it imposes, for the purpose of increasing FATHER DIEKMANN the realism in movies.

14 The Scholastic The 'Crooner' Visits WNDU By PAUL FULLMER A big heart is the most-respected quality of any performer in show business. Most of you who tuned in WNDU's dedication ceremonies on March 10 expected something special and you got it in the appearance of the fabulous Bing Crosby—by tape of course. Disk jockey Tom Cassidy, who is the proprietor of the popular "Penthouse Pops" record show, wanted to have a real dash of professional talent on his dedication show. He decided to contact Mr. Crosby and see if Bing would answer a few questions on tape for the big night. On Feb. 15 the letter, tape, and script were mailed to the Los Angeles headquarters of "The Crooner." Two weeks later an affirmative answer came back to Cas­ sidy and on Wednesday, March 3,. the completed tape arrived and Cassidy quickly dubbed in his' questions on the tape that Bing had already done. And on March 10, you were the first to hear this unique program.

Bing Says Thanks for the Invite In his typical easy-going manner, Bing expressed his ad­ miration for the Notre Dame spiiit on the gridiron during the past season and also gi-eeted the between-half progi'ams as a fine innovation. £LEVK»H One of Bing's most interesting answers traces his early spot as a drummer in a local band to a member of Paul Bing says thanks for the PH Whiteman's Ehythm Boys. He continues, "I went on then to California and I guess I've been fooling the people ever since." Cassidy quizzed Bing on his "innocent animosity" with sented the greatest challenge and was the most rewarding. Bob Hope and Bing got real honest and replied that, "It's Asked to name his finest moment in the entertainment world, always been a friendly relationship between Bob and myself Bing didn't hesitate to say, "It was the night in Graumann's though, and when he puts a pictui-e or book out, I'll make a Chinese Theater when Gary Cooper announced that I was the few cracks about it and he'll do the same for me and it serves winner of the coveted Oscar for my acting in Going My Way." as good publicity for both of us." His immoi-tal recording of Irving Berlin's White Christmas "The Groaner" cited Going My Way as the movie that pre- rates as the record he most enjoyed doing.

Cassidy Will Run Tape Again Tuesday To give all of you a chance to hear a' re-run of this tape, Cassidy will play it again on his show this Tuesday night be­ tween 7:30 and 8:30. Cassidy, who is the first to admit his good fortune in ob­ taining this valuable tape, says, "Our opinion of Mr. Crosby was always one of kindest respect. His response to WNDU's request certainly points out what a wonderful individual he must be, and we certainly extend our whole-hearted thanks for his kind cooperation. They say an individual is measured in part by his generosity—I guess that would make Bing Crosby somewhat of a giant."

To this 87 replied "yes" while 62 said "no." Eighty-two were undecided on the question. To the query, "Do late-comers to the hall keep you awake?" 191 last-year men replied "no," while 40 of their counterpai-ts said "yes."

March 19, 1954 SPEAKING OF (Left) A masterpiece of three dimen­ sional modern art . . . maze of piping . . . numerous valves . . .

By JIM MASON We all take foi- granted that at the flick of a switch, we Avill have light, or by turning the handle on the radiator, we will have heat; but there is a story behind that flick of a switch and turn of the handle. The Power Plant, that is located under the water tower in the northeast corner of the campus under the new "Silver Dome," is the throbbing dynamo behind the physical life at Notre Dame. This story begins when the growling diesel switch engine of the Notre Dame & Western Railroad spots a carload of coal over the hopper on the west side of the Power Plant. As the locomotive moves up the track, a car shaker bounces and shakes the car until its load has sifted down into the hopper*. Running through the bottom of the hopper is an apron conveyor that carries the coal into the plant where it is picked up by a bucket conveyor that carries the fuel to the overhead bin. From the bunker, a traveling coal lorry picks up the coal and automatically weighs out one ton of coal on each trip to the boilers. In an ordinary day of operation during the Winter months, these coal-eating monsters consume be­ tween 80 and 100 tons of fuel. The coal is fed into the boilers by spreader stokers, which kick the coal out over a traveling grate. This traveling grate dumps the ash into a hopper and from there the ash is drawn to an outside silo by a vacuum. Huge Electric Generator: Source of All Power on the Campus
