HUBERT'S I 813-817 S. Michigan St.- SOUTH BEND. IND. 3 Vi LETTERS

Editor: Reference: Letter to the Editor, March 7, Dining Hall employees, the Blue Circle. The cheap attempt at piety in the Blue Ciixle's letter in reference to Name Withheld should be deplored by every thinking Notice Dame man. To the SCHO­ LASTIC'S outside readers, the mistaken im­ pression may go forth that the Blue Circle casts the motes from all eyes hereabout. This impression reflects a falsity more monstrous than whatever implications might have been found in the letter in question.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone fit to burn with either a hard or a blue had just spoken its first words—"Mr. Watson, come here, I want youL" flame over this equally egregious attack.

The Blue Circle was first organized in the year 1922. It was made an honorary society at that time, and its job was to Headquarters preserve and promote traditions and cus­ toms at Notre Dame. It I'emained ac­ tive until 1933, and was then unheard of until its reorganization in the Fall of for 1946. The Blue Circle is a subsidiary or­ ganization of the Student Council, and as such, is responsible to that body. Path- er Cavanaugh, President of the Univer­ sity, and Mr. John V. Hinkel, now Di­ rector of Public Information, are both ARROW former members of the Blue Circle in its early days at the University.

Since its active reorganization by the Student Council last November, the Blue SHIRTS and TIES Circle has taken an active part in pro­ moting and restablishing Notre Dame traditions and customs. Last semester the Blue Circle:

1. Organized and planned the football rallies. 2. Sponsored the hall decorations and promoted a cheer contest. 3.

27 Dr. Downey fo Speak on Peron, Argentina "Peron and Argentina," a subject about which most Americans are greatly interested at the present time, will be the subject of a lecture by Professor Thomas E. Downey, Ph.D., in the Law Auditorium, Tuesday evening, March 18. DANCING every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday In the lecture, which is sponsored by the Department of History, Notre Dame stu­ at the dents and their friends will have an op­ portunity to hear some of the reasons why Peron has achieved his hold on the people of Argentina and why he is such a stormy problem for American diplo­ matists, radio commentators and column­ ists.

Professor Downey brings to his sub­ ject a deep understanding of South American history, based upon many years of study. He holds the Doctorate in Philosophy in Hispanic' American His­ tory from the University of California, where he was a pupil of Dr. Herbert Eugene Bolton, America's most outstand­ ing historian of Latin America. He has held the Harrison Mills Traveling Fel­ lowship in International Relations from that University, which enabled him to study extensively the history of Latin America. At the present time he offers classes in the Department of History on Central and South America and next year \\-ill offer a course on the History of Spain in the Graduate School.

SHAKE HANDS WITH ROSCOE: From under the deft pen of Lou Louro walks a new character into campus life. Just for the record we shall call him Roscoe. Now and then he will appear in this column flaunting the veneer of the campus "wheel," hiding a lion's boldness. Roscoe will be a realisi, too. For, he will place himself in the leading role of all those little dramas that occur so fre­ quently in the classrooms, in the resi­ dence halls and on weekends. We only- hope he will not be campused by an un- appreciative editor. Roscoe's papa, Lou Louro, is a native of Akron, Ohio, is an Arts and Letters student here at Notre Dame.

A career in corporate taxation problems is, Don admits, short on glamour, long on hard and diligent work. A dozen years ago he had about as much trouble as anyone in under­ standing the technical language of tax state­ ments. But when an opportunity opened in tax accounting, he took the offer and learned the complexities of his job as he worked at it. By meeting the challenges of an exacting and constantly expanding field of endeavor, Donald Millham had made for himself a use­ ful and important career that has held his interest.
