Mardi Gras Follows '48 Plans According to Moorhead, plans for 1949's big Mardi Gras will proceed much in the same fashion as last year's highly successful carnival. As in the past, the geographical campus clubs of Notre Dame will sponsor booths for games of chance, and will offer prizes to the win­ ners.

In most schools the big effort is to make students use the libraries. At Notre Dame the men don't need any help. Ever since the present contingent of energetic young women arrived to take over the departmental libraries there has been no lack of spontaneous book interest. At present there are five young women in charge of five special libraries on campus. ihe Bonnicelli twins run the science and architecture librai-ies, Ida, archi­ tecture; Irma, science; Mildred Segan has charge of the biology building li- bi-ary, including biology, geology, the MISS SEGAN —Main Library Nieuwland and the Green collections.

Butler Five Invades Fieidhous e Tuesday Irish Cagers Block Bulldog Title Claim

By RALPH WRIGHT

Currently one of the hottest teams in the midwest, Tony Hinkle's Butler Bull­ dogs will be out to gain top ranking in Hoosier college basketball when they visit the Notre Dame Fieldhouse Tues­ day evening. Already victorious over Indiana State, Purdue and Indiana, Butler needs a win over the Irish to make it a clean sweep of Indiana's leading cagers. The Bull­ dogs won their grudge battle from State's Sycamores, 52-49, then humbled Purdue, 47-43, and handed Indiana its first loss, 64-5-5. However, all of these games were at the familiar Butler Field- house where the Bulldogs are much more difficult to handle. Last year Notre Dame just managed to squeeze by with a two-point win in Indianapolis, but really took Butler apart up here. That score was 71-47.
