A recent Administration directive carried the statement, "If you act that way, you will be treated that way," in reference to a promised dis­ missal for those participating in our annual spring catharsis. If that principle were applied both ways, of course, the responsible student expression that has characterized most matters this year would have brought results more representative of the student opinion. The Administration attitude, however, has rather been one of "delay and avoid," in any case of student protest it deemed troublesome. This was brought out clearly in the case of the Calendar, as weeks passed by while the Administration rejected any question with the rejoinder, "It's not final yet," or "That's not my department."

Pen'haps that publication's literary tastes have be­ come someivhat jaded and prone to riotous booTcbum- ing, but devotion to truth did not enter into their comments on aHicles such as "West Baden Nuclear Institute." The annual's edit07ializing effectively showed a deteiynination to defend the nan-ow scope of apathetic thousands. The critic of the SCHOLASTIC appealed to a select group; there is doubt whether there was any room in that group for the thinking student. (Any resemblance, real or imagined, to the 1964 Dome is purely coincidental.) In a community such as exists at Notre Dame, it is unfortunate that student organizations should subject each other to careless attacks. Inevitable dis­ agreements win arise among student publications, but when these degenerate into personal or vindictive attacks, the parties involved merely display their lack of maturity. Sniping at one's colleagues may be good sport, but it distracts from the solid character of a publication and leaves it open to other criticism.

And, for those foreign students who lack the awareness, this oppor­ tunity should be clearly pointed out.

LANGUAGE BARRIER AND NEW CUSTOMS It is safe to say that foreign stu­ dents living in a new country, asso­ ciating with a new kind of people, facing a new culture, have an en­ vironment proper to themselves alone. Perhaps the most pronotmced in the foreign students' environment are the school, the students and the profes­ sors, and the community in which they live. Of the 1,042 first year foreign stu­ dents in 1951-1952 who were inter­ viewed regarding their language prob­ lems, 30 per cent reported no diflB- culties with English because they came from English-speaking coun­ tries. Sixteen per cent reported no difficulties despite the fact that they came from non-English-spe£iking countries. Fifty-one per cent on the other hand reported some difficulty with language. To solve this problem, an English course is given to some foreign stu­ dents who encounter difficulties with the use of the language. This pro­ gram, headed by Dr. Richard WUle- min, is a good beginning but should be expanded and coordinated through the Office of International Services. DISCRIMINATION ?

The ability to "materialize' these reahties requires rather the con­ struction of a totally sensible and ac­ Film Series tive world, which only the cinema cai: undertake. The film WTiter-director is a new- kind of artist, freed from the restric­ tions of words. He forms a sensible Washington Hall Films world for his audience. He can create for his audience an experience to which they can respond as they do to the real world. by As a result within two decades the hmits of words have been transcend­ ed, the method of communication Thomas Vitullo and Lawrence Michael Kelly revolutionized, and a new exploration of our humanity developed. The film artist now demands a new analysis of the way in which we know, a new analysis that involves an integration rather than of our senses and ordering intellect. We must be­ come receptive to this new language in which he speaks. Films are at last beginning to reahze their potential, and demand a critical audience. The reading of any good book requires a critical skill that most of us have unconsciously mas­ tered. Yet works such as Joyce's Fm- negan's Wake, the novels of Gertrude Stein, or the poetry of Ezra Pound, for example, involve a certain refine­ ment of this skill. The film art calls for a similarly developed ability to respond. While all of us can readily understand a film such as Dr. Btrange- love, Resnais' can only be appreciated by those who have more fully developed their re­ sponsive ability. The student who does not move beyond such entertainment as How The West Was Wo7i or TJie Cardinal is as ignorant as the one who concerns himself exclusively with such pap-like literature as Playboy, Life, or Catlwlic Digest. Such food can only fail to nourish the mature mind. Our culture is becoming cinemati- cally oriented. Its children are no longer primarily educated by the sim­ ple narrative. The radio drama of our childhood, which replaced the volumes of tales before it, has itself been re­ placed by the television show. This new communication has established the foundation for a new culture, a new world, a new adventure. To bring this world to the next generation of "leading Catholic intellectuals," Pro­ fessor Donald Costello of the EngUsh Department and Mr. John O'Halla, editor of the 1963 Dome, founded the 18 The Scholastic Student-Faculty Film Society three years ago. That same year the Bishops of America, meeting in Washington, tackled the problem of the reticent Catholic intellectual. Realizing that much of the reticence could be traced to the traditional Church policy of "protecting" its members from "evil," they sought to encourage Catholic criticism that would be more realistic and valuable. This meant a revolution of "taste," and the Bishops, recogniz­ ing the importance of the film world, singled out for praise the Catholic Film Center of Chicago, the "new" Legion of Decency with its critical "separate classification" category, and the fledgling Notre Dame Student- Faculty Film Society. The society is associated nationally with the American Association of Film Societies. It ftmctions on both Notre Dame and Saint Mary's cam­ puses, and has about 1100 members among the students and faculties of both schools.

•% HE park was known to him, well and long. It had not changed since he was no bigger T than a wobbling swan. The zoo section smelled as badly as ever, the otters were as enthrallingly humorous, the mountain lions were as drowsily menacing. The monkeys mugged and begged, shrieked and reeked, as little pointing humans dragged bigger grimacing humans to see and throw Cracker Jacks. The pleading eyes of the deer would still entice little girls and good boys to pull hand- fuls of clover, and then the caressing tongue and damp muzzle would nuzzle into the small palms and the good boys would feel queerly proud and laugh and the little girls would suddenly feel like crying or hugging somebody. The buffalo still glowered, huge and brutally stupid, at clusters of frightened boys who threw stones. The music of the place was still that of bird cries and child shouts and parent threats. In the spring, the air was rich with the scent of mammals and moss and mag­ nolias. Only the grizzly bear was gone, for eating someone's hand. That was one part. The other was grass and little green concrete bridges that rang under run­ ning feet, and tiny but many plots of flowers and black ponds covered with flocks of ducks and geese, ruled by a few snobby swans and hiding mysterious wicked black fish that sometimes ate the bread with a quick and cruel spluttering flurry before the ducks could reach it or the swan would deign to dip his holy head.

With others on stage, they seemed to lose direction, and sometimes em­ ployed actions that were amusing, yet incongruous to their original char­ acterizations — falling into the fan­ tasy that recurred throughout the show. The most consistent performance in the show was BiU Cook's Reverend Chasuble which always remained within the limits of good farce. Com­ plementing Mr. Cook's performance was Mary Mortimer as Miss Prism. Leslie Mazer's voice was strong enough to hold its own with Mar­ garet Desmond's, which was by far the best voice in the show. Miss Des­ mond's Cecily was recitative in her acting, and her attempts at cuteness were out of place because they were strictly fantasy, and not at all rooted in her character.

They include remedies for the difficul­ ties of Notre Dame's foreign students, a campus program of lectures, panel discussions, and conventions, and summer projects. Presently the foreign students have a great lack of communication with the rest of the student body as evi­ denced in their formation of cliques, which results from a difficulty in ad­ justing to campus life, academically and socially.
