The Scholastic Flub of the WEEK This WEEK'S flub was committed by a Saint Mai-y's girl, whose name I can­ not mention, for reasons of personal safety. It seems that one of the troops wrote to this young lady, asking her for a date—two weeks in advance. Her reply was a time classic.

Help Wanted! The failings and supposed failings of the University Library come under fire fairly often in bull sessions around the campus. But they rarely get beyond that stage, for few complaints, questions or suggestions for im­ proved service are brought to the attention of Mr. Victor Schaefer, the director of the Library, or the librarians. Mr. Schaefer has expressed the desire for anyone with complaints, questions or suggestions for improved service to see or commimicate with him. This would aid him greatly in seeing the Library's deficiency in its service and enable him to attempt some method of improvement. Mr. Schaefer believes the Library's job is to give the best possible service to its users, especially undergraduate students. In order to secure information that would be helpful in improving the service, the Student Senate will soon install a Suggestion Box in the Library. If students and faculty members will use this box. Library con­ ditions will probably improve. Anyone who wants an answer to a com­ plaint or question will receive it if he includes his name and address. Among the complaints students often voice in student discussion is that every book requested at a given time was out. This is often the case, for several students may want the same books. And, since there is no limit on the number of books a person may withdraw, one person may have all the desired books. To avoid this, the Library would like to have some advance notice from professors about books they will be recommending for student research. This information would enable the Library to mete out the books to more than one person. Until this cooperation is secured, the Library will continue its policy of putting the person on a waiting list and inform him when the book is returned. If the record of the book cannot be found, Mr. Schaefer urges students to demand that they be traced, since it is the Library's duty to know where the books are. Fines are a control measure, rather than a punitive one. Since higher fines were instituted, the number of overdue books has appreciably de­ creased, according to' Mr. Schaefer. Another means of avoiding the problem of finding all desired books withdrawn is to enlist the librarians' help in finding other suitable books. All too often this is not done, though the service is available. At Least $ 15,000! If there is definite need for more copies of a book or for a book not in the Library, it is prepared to purchase books provided they are of Support the Mardi Gras!

It has been a long-time privilege for professors to withdraw books without any time restriction. Whether or not this privilege is being abused to a great extent is the subject of investigation.

In 1675, Father James Marquette, the famous French missionary, paddled up Explorer La Salle and His Hotel the St. Joseph river, and stopped at the south bend settlement to talk to the Indians. Then he paddled on. Smart fellas, those missionaries.

Having traded successfully, he -Blfifin continued his exploring, all the way down to Texas, where he was murdered by one of his men. This has nothing firirriri to do with South Bend, but I bet it makes a more interesting story. After La Salle's visit (by the way, finn they named a hotel after him), nothing - of any importance occurred until 1820. ^ In the meantime, the Pottawatomies ^ kept growing corn, I guess. In 1820, however, Pierre Navarre arrived. Pierre Navarre was a trapper, scout, fur trad­ er, and general handyman, of French descent.

Notre Dame's fencing team vnW take on squads from the Universities of Ken­ tucky and Buffalo in a triangular match here tomorrow afternoon. The contest will start at 4 p.m. in the Fieldhouse, immediately following a charity concert by the University's student dance band. Although the Kentucky team should be easy prey for the Irish fencers, who currently hold a 2-2 record, the Buffalo squad was undefeated in its first seven matches, and Coach Walter Langford expects the New York team to offer the Ii'ish stiff competition.

The SCHOLASTIC, along with the University officials, has received many comments from fans across the nation on the conduct of the student body at the Indiana TV game. Sportswi-iters wonder why any team risks coming to the Fieldhouse for a game. They • tab the treatment as "very tough to take.''' The practice of introducing the opponents had to be discontinued two years ago when the "Who's He?" chant became overpower­ ing. This year the conduct has improved slightly after some coaxing from the admin­ istration, but the reputation continues to gi'ow after that one TV appearance. Jack Clowser of the Cleveland Press expresses the expert's and viewer's opinion in this letter to "Moose" Krause, Director of Athletics.—Sports Editor

Cleveland, Ohio. MR. ED KRAUSE, Director of Athletics,

University of Notre Dame

DEAR MOOSE:

I hesitated for' some time before making up my mind to write this letter, but finally concluded it's on a matter of great importance to Notre Dame. I don't think I have to prove to you that my close and pleasant associations with the University have made me deeply interested in its welfare. To get to the point at once—I was somewhat shocked, while watching the TV of the Indiana-Notre Dame basketball game, to see the violent reactions and the unmerciful booing the student body gave to those officials. For two days, I debated whether to write to you about my feelings in the matter. But so many people have mentioned the very same thing to me, since then, that I'm convinced it is something you can't afford to let slide. It is my earnest conviction that, to hundreds of thousands of television viewers all over the nation, the jeering and booing of the students must have struck a veiy unpopular chord. The kids not only directed their feelings at the officials, but at the Indiana players, too. The TV camera showed many closeups, during time outs and while players prepared to shoot fouls, of the students. Some of them, on their feet, were shouting and gesturing, waving their fists at the officials, and con­ ducting themselves in EXTREMELY unsportsmanlike manner. The same thing occurred several times when Indiana players, particularly big Don Schlundt, had a foul I caHed on him. You would have thought Schlundt is a deliberately rough and foul player. The abuse the stu­ dents heaped on him was most marked. It clearly showed in ever)' closeup by the camera. I believe m calling a spade a spade when officiating is flagrantly poor. In fact, I recently wrote a piece strongly criticizing some of the officiating in the football game with Southern Methodist, because I thought some of the penalties called against Notre Dame that day were very unjustified. But to my mind, the basketball officials were doing a good job, showing impartiality, and so forth. Moose, I realize this is a difficult thing to control. But for the sake of Notre Dame, before you ever have another garrfe televised, PLEASE take steps to make the students realize they are hurting their university by that t^^pe of conduct. I strongly feel that it calls for a student assembly and some words of warning by Notre Dame authorities. There was absolutely nothing .unsportsmanlike about the conduct of Notre Dame's players, and there is no good reason why the student body shouldn't follow their example. Then the players would feel as proud of the true Notre Dame spirit as the students are proud of their fine teams. Kindest regards. JACK CLOWSER

P. S. In case anyone to whom you might show this letter might wonder about it, I happen to be the guy wild was honored by having his story on the 1952 Notre Dame-Oklahoma football game reprinted in The Dome. In other words, I have very deep regard for the University, and I mean everv'thing above as constructive criticism.

February 11, 1955 27 Crowd Again Acclaims Touring Swedish Troupe Notre Dame students and local fol­ 1 lowers, 4,000 strong, jammed the Drill Hall last Tuesday night to watch a per­ formance they will not soon forget. Members of the Swedish Gymnastic by Paul Fullmer team treated their appreciative onlook­ ers to an array of dazzling acrobatics that amazed and surprised the audience. The Irish have proved one thing on the hardwood this season at least. The Swedes, making the 16th stop of At the beginning of the year it looked like the old maxim, "As Stephens goes, a nationwide tour that will cari-y them f» so goes Notre Dame," would hold all year. Lloyd Aubrey and John Smyth, to leading colleges and universities however, came to "Junior's" rescue and the Irish looked like they could go throughout the country, showed that all the way. This certainly hasn't been the case. We grant that this year's squad is inexperi­ enced and everyone is calling to give them the benefit of the doubt. Johnny Jordan's outfit, how­ ever, hasn't jelled as yet and has given no indica­ tion that it -wall. The Sugar Bowl looked like it was going to be the beginning of a nice streak, but again the cagers faltered and fell rather sadly in the last period against Michigan State Monday.

Stephens, Smyth, Aubrey Carry Load Notre Dame has three top fight players who can hold their own in any competition. Stephens, Aub­ rey, and Smji;h are Avell respected in every enemy Johnny Jordan ''camp and the defense always concentrates on their inaneuvers. Stephens has been rated as one of the best by all coaches and spoi-ts%\n.-iters, with DePaul's Kay Meyer stating that, "I wouldn't trade him for any other guard in the country." Aubrey over­ came a very poor start to really round into a polished offensive performer.
