Jan. 14, 1966 Man of the Year Our nomination for Man of the Year goes to General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Service, who has turned the mind of the American college student from the subject of liquor and women to that of defending one's country through membership in the Armed Forces of the United States. With all the discussion about college students being taken away from their warm little academic homes it would seem that the nation's draft boards would have at least some sort of information to give them. The SCHOLASTIC has found that this assumption is not neces sarily a valid one. Over the past week we have been talking with a random selection of boards across the country, trjdng to find out their policy regarding students and US deferments. For some reason they are not talk ing. The usual reply is the local board is "examining its policy concerning students" or it is "operating within the present structure of the draft law." The most ex plicit reply we received was from the clerk in charge of the South Bend office who said that they are not taking full-time students. The phrases "in good standing" and "making normal progress towards a degree^" were used Overindulgence by several of the boards, but they did not want to go on Last week the Pope declared a Jubilee from New to define their terms.

The Scholastic Extending Library Hours The Memorial Library has announced an extension of hours to be put in effect before the final exam period. The library wiU open at 10:00 a.m. Sundays and remain open until 1:00 a.m. nightly. What makes this change especially significant is that it is the result of coopera tion between students and members of the administration. The Student Affairs Commission of Student Government has been conferring with Library Director Victor Schaefer in an attempt to expose the library management to the student viewpoint, and the announced change in only one Whither Go The Left? of several which wiU probably result from these discus sions. Recent actions by the war protestors — the Time- Such coaction between students and administrators is styled VIETNIKS — have perhaps slid below the bounds encouraging. We hope the idea will find its way into of academic freedom regarding policies or practices that other areas of student-administration relations. might be injurious to the foreign policy of the United — B.W. States. The crucial question is whether the militant left has an3rthing positive to contribute to the Viet Nam discussion or whether it is merely giving further bent to a nihihstic attitude that degenerates into absurdity. Things We'd Like to See The most dangerous actions of some of the protestors have been their consistent efforts to subvert the morale in 1966 of the troops in Viet Nam. The most shocking example Bob Griese complete 19 of 22 passes against Notre Dame is a tape that was sent to Hanoi recently by a group of A student trip to Elkhart California pacifists.

SCHOLASTIC: How wotdd you assess the significance of Castro and the Cuban revolution in unifying Latin America political thinkers against Communism; was the effect along negative reactionary lines or more in positive stimtdation of movements such as your own? DR. CALDERA: The case story of Castro is very complex. I am not sure, yet, that he was a Commimist when he began his revolutionary movement. When he was in Caracas some ten days after having reached power in Havana, he went to say thanks to the Venezuelan people for their help during the revolution, and to attend the commemoration of our Venezuelan revolution. I was a witness to an incident with the Communist leader in which Castro seemed not to be very fond of Commimists. He was not very kind to him. He asked him "Ah, you are machado, the millionaire Communist." Later, the complica tions in his foreign and domestic relations pushed him into the Communist position. His effect and the effect of his regime in Latin America have been in different ways. We must acknowledge that the Castro menace has been very helpful, acting as an alarm clock to the sleeping conscience of the developed countries, including the United States. But at the same time he has troubled in many ways the life of Latin America, helping and fostering armed revolu tions in every country.

It may be a truism to say 'it's how you play the game,' but kiddos, in your case, it is 'how you do play that game!!' " This isn't an attempt to canonize or even beatify anyone. It is an at tempt to see that credit is received where credit is due. And those dozen men who represent Notre Dame on the basketball court deserve credit. Plenty of it. At the beginning of the season, each one of them knew what it was going to be like. They knew it wasn't going to be easy and that things would come tough for them. They knew that they would be working extra hard for every break, every point, every vic tory they got. But they dedicated themselves to hard work. Dedicated themselves to doing the job the best way they were able. Dedicated themselves to one goal — winning. Victories have come hard though. Sure, they've defeated Lewis, St. Nor- bert's and Bowling Green. But more often there have been the Kentuckys and Dukes to play. And eventually succumb to.

You just do as well as you can." But no matter how they do, there is something about this team that you admire. Something that you respect. That something special is personi fied in their captain, Bucky ]\IcGann. His legs keep the tape division of Johnson & Johnson in business. And his mobility is equal to that of a Japanese sumo wrestler. Anyone who sees him play can't help but realize what an effort he is expending. But beyond this display of physical courage, he represents that intangible attribute called leadership. Coach Dee stresses, '"Bucky's setting a fine prece dent. He's a great captain." And his fellow teammates claim that "Bucky has a lot to do wdth the attitude of the team." That something special is seen in the contributions of the three seniors. Though the won-lost record is unim pressive, it is this team, and especially the seniors, who are "helping turn the program around. They are putting our method of basketball into prac tice: w'e are getting the unselfishness, the dedication, and the attitude that we want." That something special is the per sonal blame each player affords him self after a defeat. It's Dixie Resto- vich walking up to Coach Dee after the Purdue game and taking full re sponsibility for the loss on himself. And it's Coach Dee replying, "Hell no, it isn't; it's mine." That something special is embraced in the word "giitty." It is a spirit that is unwilling and I'efusing to give up. A spirit that believes if they do things the way they've been taught, they will succeed. A spirit that is working and waiting for a break that will give them a needed lift. That something special is expressed in another truism, posted above the team's bulletin board, which states "Basketball falls into the area of play, however, you have to work HARD to play WELL." And they are W'Orking hard. That something special is the fine attitude that the team has — even after so many bitter defeats and ad versities. It is easy to work, to put out, to persevere when the result is a string of victories. It takes a special kind of man to retain these qualities after setback upon setback. All these "something specials" lead you to admire this team. Lead you to SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON CAFFAIN BUCKY McGANN HAS BEEN HOBBLED BY A hope for that break. Hope for that BAD KNEE.
