This department has great respect for the SCHOLASTIC, but can claim no credit for its very substantial achievements. There is no connection between the SCHOLASTIC and the Department of Journalism. Neither desires any. Both are, in my opinion, right. Thomas Stritch Head of Department.
Insufferable Situation Editor: Living in a community, as we are, presents many inconveniences which have to be tolerated. This fact has re strained me from heretofore voicing my opinion on an absolutely insufferable situation: the farce known as a "chow line" in the Notre Dame dining halls. I cannot reconcile myself to the whole "ARROW Gordoa O.xfords are tops on my list'' sale disregard for the line. What con said John in a recent campus interview. "The collars ceivable legitimate reason can there be look good and fit perfectly. The body is cut right, for it? The selfishness of the "line- doesn't bimch at the waist. . . .

In Explanation Editor: It's Adlers for Three weeks ago a cigarette adver tisement that many found objectionable appeared in SCHOLASTIC. Several stu dents wrote to SCHOLASTIC to protest its appearance. ARRO^ SCHOLASTIC has a contract with its advertisers that sells space for several weeks, and in some cases the entire year, ahead of publication.

MARCH 3 COLFAX (through March 8)—All the characters who made Deai- Ruth such a top comedy have been brought together again for that picture's sequel, Dear Wife (Legion of Decency Rating A-1). Ruth (Joan Caulfield) and her ingratiating Air Force boyfriend (William Holden) are novv' married and living with her family. Miriam (Mona Freeman) is at work again and gets Holden nominated for a big political post. The comic situations come out of the fact that Ruth's father (Edward Arnold) is the opposing candidate. All in all, the film adds up to pleasant, in nocuous fun. PALACE (through March 9)—Marcia Davenport's best seller has been jazzed up in its picturization into nothing more than a woman's soap opera. East Side, West Side (B) stars Barbara Stanwyck, James Mason, Van Heflin, Ava Gardner and Cyd Charisse. They all try hard to overcome this supposedly-inside story of Nev»' York's cafe society set but are handicapped by the plot. The co-fea ture is The Blonde Bandit (A-2) and is about as silly as its title. GRANADA (through March 8) — The much-discussed, much-publicized Howard Hughes production, The Outlaiv (B), finally gets a booking in South Bend. Only the over- curious will want to see this one, and even they will be disappointed. This is, without a doubt, one of the worst westerns ever put out. The acting is awful; the story Swing to Beech-Nut... worse. Don't waste your money — wait for the next Roy Beech-Nut Gum ! Rogers thriller, it's bound to be better. Swing on down and getcha some!

(Since the run for this Swing to Beech-Nut.,. movie is so tentative, the management could not give any come along! definite dates on the films that are scheduled to follow.) Y'can't beat Bccch-Nut Gum Some of them, however, will be: Challenge to Lassie (A-1), for quality 'n' refreshment! with the canine cutie and Donald Crisp; Key to the City Swing to Beech-Nut... (B), a rough and tumble comedy with Clark Gable and Beech-Nut Gum! Loretta Young; My Foolish Heart (B), Susan Hayward and Dana Andrews in a flood-tide tear jerker; Mrs. Mike (A-2), a good picturization of the popular book, with Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes starring; and Tight Little Island (A-2), a wonderful piece of whimsy from England. ENGINEERING AUDITORIUM—The Journalism De partment continues its series of films with The Four Horse men of the Apocalypse, starring the old sheik, himself, Rudolph Valentino. Those who have been able to get tickets will be on hand at 7:30 tonight to see just what made their mothers swoon.
MARCH 4 WASHINGTON B.A.IA^-Gunga Din, by now considered to be somewhat of a modern classic, is brought back to the campus for a re-inin. Gary Grant and Sam JafFee, as the immortal vrater boy, are the featured players.

The criterion by which the present maga zine is judged — age — is, strangely enough, also at fault, if we are to accept Mr. Kelleghan's appraisal. We admit that the SCHOLASTIC of present issue IS concerned with campus and local items primarily, but we do not agree that the old issues were the guiding prototypes of literary endeavor, the precedent-setting trail blazers so championed by our "literary" critic.

Roblez' finals opponent last year, Joe Brown, has pushed up to the next class and will find it rough going among vet erans like Ed Callahan, Jim Engel, Dan Finn, Ed Smith and Dick Windishai". Smith is the defending champ. This will be the third year for Engel and Finn. Engel was a finalist in the 1948 bouts. The 167-pound and light-heavyweight classes have the lai-gest lists of fighters. The 167-pound list includes two of last yeai-'s finalists, Joe Fallon and Dick Hyland, who must rule as favorites in the pre-fight forecasts. Fallon learned the lesson of being too cautious from Mike Merrigan last year and is not ex pected to repeat the mistake. Ed Smith had his hands full ^vith Hyland in the finals in 1949 and Dick AVIU try to teach Fallon some new lessons this year. Those who remember the slam-bang affair staged by Frank Tripodi and Bill Sheehan last year will appi-ove their being matched again in the light-heavy division.
