orientation i I guess practically every editor going back for 87 years has done just what I'm doing—sat in front of his typewriter and wondered what the devil he should write about in his first editorial. For the first time he really begins to think about what his fellow students are interested in. For the first time he wrestles with the problem of conveying some­ thing of value without sounding absurd in his fatherliness. And somehow he gets an inkling that no matter what he says, or how he says it, all too many of the fellows are going ^ to whip right on past it into the features or sports sections. But be that as it may, it's up to me and the SCHOLASTIC'S associate editor, Paul LaFreniere, to express some sort of opinion every week on matters of interest to the fellows we debut go to school with. We've completely discarded the idea of crusading or being "controversial"—it seems to us that the For the past two weeks incoming freshmen have been students are already overwhelmed with that sort of thing. subjected to a program known as orientation.

Blue was very fond of band music. He would follow a vigorous band the whole length of a parade, never tiring of the blaring of the brass, the thumping of the di-unis. He especially liked martial music. His idea of one of the greatest oiferings of life was a rich, full band . . . marching in gorgeous uniform, marching with liigh military bearing, marching down a broad avenue «} or boulevard out of the distance, metal flashing, uniforms flashing, marching proudly, nobly, radiantly, and playing some magnificent bizarre fighting tune. " 'The thump of it, and the pound of it, and the ring of it, and the call and challenge and command of it, start my blood racing, start my feet lifting, start my eyes searching, my heart stirring. Surely no man can deny there are things worth fighting for, worth dying foi", who hears militant music like this.'"

Sessler, head of -I the Department of Art, recently re­ turned to the University after touring a number of European art centers. Professor Sessler's itinerary began in Wennbley London where he conferred with Dr. Ste­ « phen Eees-Jones of the Courtauld Insti­ o tute of Art on the restoration and con­ servation of museum objects. In Eng­ University Repps land, Sessler's study was concentrated in the National Gallery, the Tate Mu­ seum, and the British Museum. The Notre Dame artist then visited a number of renowned laboratories of art on the continent. He visited the National Laboratories in Binissels, the Rijs Museum in Amsterdam, the Nation­ • al Museum in Copenhagen, and the Louvre in Paris. Commenting on the appreciation by the general public of art in Europe, Professor Sessler said, "I was deeply im­ pressed with the deep quiet and silence kept by the large crowds of visitors at the Louvre." At Brussels Mr. Sessler conferred with the famous technicians who ex­ posed the Van Meegheren forgeries of Vermeer, and examined examples of this fraud. While on the continent, Sessler also toured Bruges and Ghent in Bel- giiim and Haarlem and the Hague in Holland in order to study techniques of the Dutch and Flemish masters. Sessler closed his tour of Europe by attending the International Art Con­ gress in Lund, Sweden, where he was one of the six delegates representing the United States. "Art instruction in the United States," said Sessler, "matches or excels any in the world today." THE TIE WITH Hammes Shopping Center THE COLOR lUerablcjiy GUIDE Dedicated by Fr.

Estrada is outstanding, but not unique in Argentine history. He is probably rather typical of the Catholic-democrat in Argentine histoi'y.
