Chris Murphy initiated the idea at Notre Dame and, with the help of Dave Poltrack and Bill Staszak, has successfully brought his brain­ child to a point where it is no longer merely an idea, but a concrete reality. Working in conjunction with Jim Fish and the student government, Murphy was successful in his cam­ paign to establish a cultural com­ m ittee. The University has offered en­ couragement and cooperation in the venture. Members of the faculty and administration have been very helpful, especially Dean Bergin, Dean of Continuing Education, Rev. Edmund Joyce, C.S.C., Executive Vice President of the University, Mr. James Frick, Vice President for Public Relations and Develop­ ment and Rev. Arthur Harvey, C.S.C., Director of the University Theater. “There is definitely not a spirit of interest in the arts at Notre Dame at* the moment," said Arts Festival proponent Dave Poltrack. Dave went on to explain that, al­ though the faculty and students are oriented to the arts, the present state of disinterest is due to the lack of big name attractions. The Arts Festival itself is a major financial operation. The total cost will approach $13,000, with $6,500 coming from ticket sales, and the remainder from Patrons of the Arts, the Univer­ sity, and the various University departments.

OBSERVER SPORTS DEE LANDS TOP D.C. STARS

After less than a week “on the road”, Irish head basketbaU coach John Dee has captured two of the country’s leading high school basketball phenoms for future Notre Dame basketball fortunes. Austin Carr, a 6-3 guard from Washington, D. C.’s Mack in High and a national aU-American, and Colis Jones, a 6-7 aU-Washington Metropoli­ tan forward, have signed letters of intent to en­ roll at Notre Dame next September. Carr announced his intentions on Monday, Jones on Tuesday. While these “letters of intent” are trustworthy and valid, they are not secure or binding until May 23. Last spring George Sarno, a highly sought after Michigan High School player signed with Notre Dame, only to sign with Northwestern later. He is currently at Northwestern. Coach Dee has once again shown his prowress as a recruiter, particularly in the Washington, D. C., area. According to the WASHINGTON POST, De Matha High School stars Sid Catlett, a 6-8 forward, and Wayne Lockett, a 6-3 forward and second highest scorer in the city (Carr being the highest) are also ready to sign with the Irish as soon as their post season tournament committ­ ments allow them to do so. As reported in THE OBSERVER last week, Dee has begun an intensive recruiting campaign, con­ SHORT YARDAGE SFTUATION - Tom Schoen, football safety, stops Joe Trepanier for no gain centrating in the key areas of Washington, D.C., in one of the 177-pound class preliminary bouts Monday night in the fieldhouse.
