10 The Scholastic Sons of Erin to Hold The Roemers of Notre Dome Feast on St. Pat's Day All true sons of Erin will gather in the upper dining hall next Thursday, March 17, at 6 p.m. to celebrate the feast of St. Patrick. The festivities, which promise to outdo Phil the Fluter's Ball, include a full course dinner, followed by entertainment. Sponsored by the newly-hatched Irish Club, the affair is open to all students and faculty members and their wives. President Dennie O'Neill announced that tickets are now on sale, and that due to the size of the room, only a limited num­ ber will be sold. The cost will be $1.50 per head. After dinner is served, the happy Hi­ bernians will sit back and hear some dear old Irish ballads, sung by John Broderick and Jack Powell. Bill Mac- Millan will play the marimba and Bill Ensign will go along with his drums. Father Patrick Carroll, c.s.c, will speak on Ii'ish culture. Also on hand to celebrate, will be ap­ proximately twenty-five colleens from riu Bcnua St. Mary's, including Miss Genevieve Notre Dame is a family aifair with the frish dan next year.

March 11, 1949 13 Art and the Kormendis Lou Burns Receives Letter from Pope Pius A letter of commendation and appre­ ciation from His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, has been received by Senior Lou Burns, national chairman of the Student Relief Campaign. In the letter, dated January 16, 1949, the Holy Father acknowledged receipt of supplies made available by the Catholic college students' drive "for distribution amongst the needy students of the coun­ tries affected by the war." Pope Pius called the movement "a generous gesture (which) has been a source of comfort and consolation to Our paternal heart. "We realize that your campaign for the relief of your fellow-students is prompted by an admirable spirit of fra­ ternal charity and that your thought- fulness in placing the fruits of the cam­ paign at Our disposal for distribution is motivated by your loyal filial devotion to the Vicar of Christ.

General Electric is not one business, but an organization of many businesses, offering opportunities in virtually all the professions. Here three G-E men brief the career- possibilities for the marketing specialist, the accountant, and the manufacturing trainee.

FUTURES IN MARKETING C. H. Lang (Michigan), Vice Pres; responsible for Apparatus Sales: "The need for increased sales efforts to maintain the current high level of business is opening broad opportunities in all phases of the marketing of industrial prod­ ucts—selling, application and service engineer­ ing, market analysis, and advertising and sales promotion."

CAREER IN FINANCE H. A. MacKinnon, Assistant Comptroller: "Part of my job is the direction of our Business Train­ ing Course and travelling auditors staff. Since 1919, these two have been providing direct chan­ nels through which young men have progressed into all types of accounting and financial manage­ ment positions with General Electric."

MANUFACTURING TRAINEE Dick Saunders (Rochester): "As a member of the G-E Manufacturing Leadership Program, I'm gaining first-hand knowledge of all the phases of manufacturing from machine tools to labor re­ lations. The Program provides that each of us serve 'personal apprenticeships' to seasoned managers in a number of different fields of manu­ facturing."

Over Mid-West Field By ]IM HOWARD i-S^5 A battered Notre Dame track team will tangle with the top Big Nine and midwest cinder squads tomorrow in the Illinois Tech Relays in Chicago. The team title may go to the all-powerful Michigan State Spartans if they choose to enter a full team, but otherwise it will be an open clash between Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Coach "Doc" Handy of the Irish may not choose to seek the team honors due to the fact that his squad is riddled with injuries. He has indicated that he may concentrate on certain individual cham­ pionships, if the group is not up to full strength for the occasion. Val Muscato, ace sophomore middle distance runner, is definitely out of competition for some time with a torn muscle. Other injuries were sustained by Jim Bollas, quarter- Seven Shades Haunt '49 Irish Grid Plans miler; Bill Kupfer, dash man; Lou By RALPH WRIGHT Lepry and Lou Tracy, distance runners.

By BO CONNOR Free enterprise is roaring along at high speed in the recording industries. RCA is coming out shortly with a new, long-playing record (up to five and one- third minutes plajnng time) and a spe­ cial turntable for it. They are battling Columbia who have had their longer- playing (45 minutes for two sides) discs out for about 90 days. The RCA record is small, wafer-thin, pliable, and printed in seven colors for the convenience of collectors who want to store their records according to mu­ sical types (classical is ruby red, green for Western, cerise for folk songs, and so on). The popular records sell for 60 cents and the classical for 95 cents. The disc revolves at 45 rpm (standard is 78) and has a spindle hole approximately one and one-half inches in diameter. With a couple of simple attachments these records can be played on regular phonographs, but they are made spe­ cifically to work on RCA's new turn­ table. You can buy this player with the amplifier attached, or get the set that plugs into your radio. The Columbia record looks like the standard discs, but it runs at 33 1/3 rpm's. RCA claims to have introduced What makes it worth having? this kind of record in 1933, but dropped it after a few years because the public didn't take to it.
