J, 1950 Debate Team Tackles Iowa Tourney Today Today, the University's debate team, pursuing a rigorous schedule, is in Iowa City participating in the University of Iowa invitational tournament. This tour­ nament is a contest among approxi­ mately 30 midAvestern and far western universities. Bill Carey, president of the Debate Club and national champion in debate, will lead the club this afternoon. Other members making the trip are Al De Crane, Tom Field and Bill Dempsey. Next week the debaters will appear in the Freshman-Sophomore tournament of the Chicago Division of the University of Illinois to be held at the Navy Pier. This contest is open to all men who have not participated in a varsity debate. Paul Davis, Bill Fagan, Robert Houck, Robert Barbierri, Don Dowden, and Bill Hank will be six of the eight-man team which will represent Notre Dame. Just recently at the Bradley Univer­ sity Speech Tournament Notre Dame's representatives swept almost all of the honors. Contests were held in debate, ex- tempoi-e speaking, original oratory, dis­ cussion, radio-newscasting and folk-tale telling. Notre Dame received superior ratings in debate, extempore speaking and oratory, while also getting good rat­ ings in all the other divisions.

However, the major share of plaudits should go to Skipper Swift. He played the exacting lead role with great skill. He was always ready to give the pro­ duction a boost whenever it sagged. He was a perfect foil for the old characters who roamed, gurgled and gushed about. The only flaw in his performance was the finger-to-lip business taken from Monty Wooley's interpretation of the role. But this was probably the di­ rector's fault, rather than Swift's. The supporting cast was uniformly good. Mike Murray as Beverly Carlton, John Schneller as Banjo and Jack Rob­ erts as Dr. Bradley made the most of their parts. The feminine members of the cast were capable. Margaret Mc Cowan as Harriet Stanley was extremely good. She should be a strong contender for the Veda Simmons role in Harvey.

By DAN BRENNAN, '51

Balancing class hours, study time and outside activities into a happy propor­ tion is the big problem facing Joe Stu­ dent prior to every preregistration per­ iod. Scholastic efforts, both in and out of the classroom, are considered taxing enough on the average collegiate. He wants no extra work of any form. But somehow Notre Dame isn't filled with a completely average student body. There are some guys around here who actually Avork for no credits, no aver­ ages and take no cuts. These are the boys who hurry out of class, race down­ town and rush behind the counter, gas pump or what-have-you, just to earn a couple of bucks. Imagine that! And some of them actually like it! For instance, Tom Obrecht, an AB junior from Lansing, Michigan, woi-ks in Don's Fountain Lunch on Portage Avenue. His job consists of helping out during the supper hour, six days a week. He waits on tables, jerks sodas, and acts as his own bus boy. If the rush is big enough he may even wash dishes or peel potatoes when the supply of either runs dangerously low. Besides the dinner business, Don's also has a big package ice cream Bale. Tom's pet peeve is the fellow who comes Tom Obrecht reels off the list of flavors to customers at Don's Fountain Lunch. in at the height of the dinner rush and orders a couple of quarts of hand- packed ice cream. Filling this order "Fill 'er up and check the oil." Bob Prue John Scheibelhut works in a white collar. takes a long time and results in a jam for tables and in the .kitchen. Don's is a neighborhood gathering place and about a dozen Notre Dame students who live in the locality are reg­ ular customers. When any of them come in, it is the signal for some friendly banter with Tom and either Don New­ man, the proprietor, or Jack Bright, the straw boss. Tom likes his job and says that the hours are just right for him: no intei-- ference with his normal activities. Also in the neighborhood are some fill­ ing stations. At two of these Notre Dame students are employed. Bob Prue, of 2005 Beverly Place, South Bend, works at Meadimber's SheU Service every after­ noon from one or two o'clock until clos­ ing-'at eight or nine in the evening. Bob, a commerce Senior, says that he can al­ ways find time to study and to relax.

Bob likes his job, but on some days the customers kind of get him down. One day, for instance, when it was raining cats and dogs, a lady drove into the station. Instead of parking un­ der the canopy, she parked in the open. When Bob went out to see what she wanted she asked him to check the water. He did, wondering quietly what the lady thought he was, a new species of ash maybe? He was soaked but the lady was a satisfied customer. The service station jobs pay an av­ erage of about a dollar an hour. John Scheibelhut, a commerce Junior from South Bend, has an imusual job. He works in his father's real estate of­ fice. John's chief duties are showing houses to prospective clients and doing some office work. He holds a temporary state license as a real estate salesman and tries to make all the sales he can on his o^\^l. Scheibelhut's chief working Bill Gorbitz bellhops at LaSalle Hotel.

Another uncommon job is shared by Jim Kingsley, Philadelphia, Pa., and Dan Brennan of South Bend. They play rec­ ords for the Wired Music Service oper­ ated by radio station WSBT. This serv­ ice is available to restaurants, hotels, stores, offices, and so forth. The music in Clark's Michigan Street restaurant originates here. All this job consists of is playing tran­ scriptions for 25 minutes every half hour, resting five minutes and starting over. The toughest part of the work is trying to please all of the subscribers. For instance, a restaurant will call up and ask for peppy, bright music. When this starts, somebody else will demand restful music. Brennan Avorks from 9:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m., and Kingsley from 3:00 to 9:00 p. m., Sundays only. During the week there is a regular operator on duty. Music major Dick Vander Hagen, of South Bend has a job right in line with his interests. He plays the saxophone in Tony Rulli's orchestra in and around South Bend. Rulli's band usually plays at the Avalon or at Reid's Casino, danc­ ing spots in Michigan. Several years ago Dick had his own combo which played around town for various affairs. One time he played for a riot. It happened this way. Dick was
