The Green Wave led 6 to 0 at halftime. Eealizing the precarious situation at hand, the Irish began to roll at the outset of the second half and never stopped until the final gun. Tulane took the opening kickoflF and marched doAvnfield 68 yards to score, with Ernie Counch driving over. The try for the point failed. The highly-keyed PARKER-WINTERROWD southerners then dug in for the rest of the half, stopping Notre Dame cold. The ll5'/2 N.

Upstairs Terry Brennan took the situation into ^A/LOR^^ his own hands eai-ly in the third period when he raced 47 yards behind excellent blocking by Masti-angelo, Berezney, and Ruggerio to score.

Termites Invade Dining Hail The University termites have forsaken hallowed St. Ed's and have their head­ quarters in the East Wing of the Dining Hall. For the past week, workers have been striving to check the tiny mites by /fs Adler's ripping out paneling around the base of the dining hall walls and filling holes drilled in the baseboard with a chemical preparation. The presence of the tiny for destructors was discovered last summer but action was delayed in the hopes that they would make arrangements for pay­ ment of regular dining hall fees. How­ ARROfFS ever, after a three-month wait, the crack firm of Terrible Termite Exterminators, Inc., of New York, Chicago, and Goshen, Indiana, were engaged. Interviews about campus reveal a tone of sympathy for the termites since many feel that their ac­ tion was taken in the form of a protest against dining hall meals. The residents of St. Ed's, however, have expressed a note of alarm. As one of them put it, "If those two termites on the third floor mvm COMffi^...

Shana­ han, assistant professor of history at Notre Dame, will appear in the Notre Dame Library soon. Father Shanahan is on leave from the University at present, serving as a lieu­ tenant in the Navy. He hopes to be back at Notre Dame in the spring, teaching military history. His classes were always very popular with students. The treatise on mid-European mili­ tarism is an investigation of the com­ parative values of a large rotating con­ scripted army and a' thoroughly-trained small group of long-term professional officers and non-commissioned officers as exemplified by the rebuilding of the Prussian army after its disastrous de­ feat by Napoleon at Jena in 1806. Rev. Shanahan's book is truly a schol­ arly approach to Germany and her mili­ tary institutions, shedding light on her past as well as offering a good explana­ tion of German military trends.
