THE PEACE WAR: In all the energy and flurry surrounding a new Washington Administration, the Peace Corps is about to be launched — the first major step in a program of foreign aid that lifts its vision above the military and purely economic level. Of particular interest to those students concerned with the project are three Vol.102 No. 18 facets of the program. March 17, 1961 Contraiy to the impression given by the preliminary campaign splash the tentative I program created, the project will be very limited. According to some reports, the pilot projects will select only 1,000 students; sober reflection upon this figure indicates that it will absorb less than one student per college in the country; when enrollment figures are considered, this means that the Notre Dame contribution cannot be Founded 1867 expected to total more than ten. Projecting for the future, the Kennedy Administra­ tion envisions only 5,000 students in the foreign fields, but note that this number will be spread out over perhaps three graduation classes. But this is only what calm forethought would allow, for the preparation these editor-in-chief scholars-of-foi-tune require demands not only considerable time and extensive facilities, but large sums of government money. Students preparing for countries CHARLES RIECK other than South America must spend the gi-eater part of a year in intensive study of the culture and native language. associate editor Then too, the problem of salary is always raised in doi-mitory discussions.

During the period of sei-vice, only an allowance directed THOMAS WEISS towards subsistence in the particular area seems desireable — what must be kept in John McCobe mind is that one of the major benefits of this progi-am stems from the contact the finest representatives of American culture can have with the local population.

Because of the unrealistic views of John Bechtold some legislators who refuse to see the dedication and self-sacrifice that such a Corps will demand of its members, no draft exemption seems likely in the first proposals, copy editor beyond a temporary deferment for the period of service.

THOMAS HANSEN KUDOS: There is a tendency among seniors to regard various events in their last photographer year as the best.

Bright idea with a glowing future

At Gen Tel, research is put to work to advance communications through sight as well as sound.

The dial of our compact STARLITE* phone, for example, utilizes an entirely new source of light that marks a milestone in visual communications. Called PANELESCENT® (electroluminescent) lighting, it produces light without heat, has no bulb to turn on and off, and costs less than 1^ a year for electricity. Pioneered and developed by the Lighting Products Division of our subsidiary, Sylvania, this dramatic new light opens up almost infinite product possi­ bilities in sight communication. Already it is being used for clock faces, radio dials, auto instrument panels and road signs. And, through the development of an ingenious "cross-grid" design, electroluminescent panels are now capable of reproducing alpha-numeric "read­ outs" for electronic computers. This achievement, in fact, may one day lead to "flat wall" TV. It is another example of the way General Telephone & Electronics coordinates the scientific and engi­ neering leadership of many divisions in order to make communications progress on all fronts.

March 17, 1961 19 For Notre Dame Men... NOTRE DAME'S JOHN ZAHM By Ralph E. Weber

Publication Date: February 15 210 pp. $5.00

The vital story of a vital man! Father John Zahm, graduate of Notre Dame and priest of the Holy Cross community, was at various times in his career a scientist, an administrator, on apologist for true science and true religion, and Provincial of Holy Cross in this country. But above all, he was a promoter of the University of Notre Dame. More than any other single man, John Zahm exerted a decisive influence in the molding of this university into a respected institute of learning and a powerhouse of Catholic intellectual effort. Mr. Weber has skillfully woven together a fascinating account of a dynamic priest, the impact of whose presence is still being felt at Notre Dame.

The University of Notre Dame Press is dedicated to a publishing program that will reflect the best in Catholic intellectual endeavor. We urge you to consult a copy of the 1961 Spring Catalog for a complete listing of current and contemplated works.

One example of the direction toward which the University Press is aiming might be the International Studies Series. Two new titles to be published this Spring are:

20 The Scholastu n-s FINALS

Notre Dame's Bengal Bouts, having featured two nights of talented and colorful fighting, progresses into the final and big pei-foimances tonight when champions in each of the six divisions "will be crowned. The finalists, of course, are those battlers who dominated the "Wednesday night encounters; and indeed this group is one of the gi'eatest ever at Notre Dame. The opening night fights, staged before a sparse crowd and competing against the Patterson-Johansson clash, provided an ample supply of fine pugilists. The eighteen first round battles proved to all that there was a liberal distribution of talent in each division; the spectators responded with no little excitement.

AN EXCITING INITIATION FOR 1961 The first Monday night fight set the tone for the rest of the evening. In this 132-pound clash. Bill Friedheim of Zahm out-maneuvered and out-classed a spirited Jim Motsett of Morrissey before gaining the nod on a TKO with one minute gone in the second round. The crowd had yet to settle itself again when Kevin Con­ nelly, fighting in the 165-pound class, powered two stiff rights to Jack Hilde- brand's chin, knocking him out with just 43 seconds of the first round history. Then the 145-pound class gained the feature role. Ai-t Rutherford of Zahm demonstrated steady control and weathered a comeback from his Lyons opponent, Eoss Eosi, to merit the judge's decision. The second clash of 145-pounders featured one of the most scientific bouts, Dick Mon-issey from Off-Campus winning a close decision over a troublesome foe, Dick Engelhardt. Carl Hogan then claimed the coveted winnei-'s laurels as he outpointed Arnold Leporati after gaining the ad­ vantage on a first round knockdown. A final clash in the 145-pound division featured Brian Richardson of Zahm by a rugged Jim Furstoss in a see-saw en­ counter.

MANY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS 1961 Monday's closest encounter resulted in the opening of the 150-pound class. Here, Joe Srholez of Zahm had quite a sti-uggle against Francis Callahan's long right ai-m; it was Srholez' perseverance that finally won. Dan Fichter, a solid 1^ first-year man seemed to have the next 150-pound go in control, but he tired in the second round and Ed Hagan of Cavanaugh staged a great comeback to emerge victorious. Eich Ginder and John Welch, both of Zahm, fought evenly before Welch won on short jabs in that 150-pound fight. In the final 150-pound encounter. Bill Cleaiy of Dillon, a crowd pleaser, outpointed Tony Kozole of Badin after surviving a first-round knockdown. Aside from Connelly's sensational knockout, Clyde Hightower of Fisher pro­ vided the greatest thrills in the 165-pound class. Hightower demonstrated finesse and solid power in the TKO subdual of Lyons' Charles McCafferty. This was after Dillon's Dick Trujillo had counter-punched his way to victory over a never-say- die Jim Fleming of Morrissey. The final 165-pound battle featured two Brennans, I Tom of Lyons and Pat of Morrissey. It was Pat, using a longer reach to good advantage, finally the victor in this battle of the fightin' Irish.

MORE EXCITEMENT Excitement was yet to come, this time in the person of freshman footballer Bill Mundee. Initiating the 170-pound slate, Mundee demonstrated awesome power * 1' in flooring George O'Meara of Zahm with just 1:26 passed in the first round. But Sorin's Tom Eomans was deteimined to equalize such prestige. He, also in an awesome display of thundering punches, earned a technical knockout over m Bob Mulcahy of Zahm in the first round. Tom Hynes outpunched Sonny Hayden of Lyons to gain the final 170-pound semifinal right. In the 191-pound division, Eich DeEosa outboxed Dick Eatinger in a scientific display while senior Dennis O'Shaughnessy closed out the evening with a victory over Wayne Zdanowicz of Breen-Phillips. There wei-e more, many more good fighters who received first round byes and therefore weren't recipients of Monday's acclamation. Their acknowledgment came last Wednesday. It was just as thunderous. And certainly tonight's will be the culmination, the final tiibute to the hard work of all. The 1961 Bengals b^n sensationally; it is likely they will end that way. —Jay Kilroy

At the present time, the sailors are beginning their spring sessicms on St Joseph's Lake. The team officers have also been holding weddy meetings every Wednesday night in the Engineerinir Building to stimubte interest in the team. The meetings are held at 7:30 p.ni. and the public is invited to attend. The pictures below depict sailing as it is — exciting and always interesting'. Sailing demands balance and stability, thus much work and effort is expected from the team members. And, of course there is another prerequisite — the wind.
