Dag Hammarskjold's presence this June 4th lends visible evidence to Notre Dame's influence upon the social and political life not May 5, 1961 only of the United States but of the entire world. In a very real sense, the world will [ acknowledge next month Notre Dame's response to its scientific, cultural—and moral— demands. It is to be hoped however that the student will not be lost in the cinemascopic lineup of world leaders that will be arrayed on his commencement. For if the presence of these , FowKiMi :I8«^^ •{5t;1;;'^'^:&^ persons is an honor to Notre Dame, it is an honor above all to its graduating students; these, in the final analysis, will carry Notre Dame's spiritual and intellectual tradition to the world.

A by GEORGE M. MURPHY t 0

•-* Hi>*. After lighting a cigarette and seeing the smoke smothered to the ground and hearing the hiss of the drops falling on N the tip, I sloshed on. I was walking alone in the i-ain along the desolated, cindei'-strewn shore of the great, black, asphalt river, watching. Watching my past misting before me as it does a drowning man. A solitai-y car rose above the hill with its headlights reflecting oif E the rain as if the feeble rays of a dying sun creeping over a destroyed world. I watched it as it spiayed past me, fol­ lowing its shaky orbit only to sink be­ neath the West and, once more, I was alone with only the past to keep me company. But this companion also soon faded from view. Oh God! So alone that it soaked through my being as the rain had my clothes. I flicked the ciga­ rette towards the dark, unmoving river and saw it shower like a falling star in its last grreat moment of triumph to­ wards its own death and then, it too was gone. I hunched my shoulders and, pushing my hands deeper into my pockets, feeling the fading wannth flow­ ing fr'om my legs, walked on, leaving only a little burnt ash and my plodding footprints in the muddy cinders to slowly fill with water and crumble into nothingness upon the lonely shore of time as I followed the car. Time! A rM. sho]'e covered with many such ashes and footprints of lives which have long since filled in, smoothed over, and left nothing but their insignificant meaning- lessness upon it. Oh Lord, keep me company; I am so alone.

tm.T-rXii^-\ mmm^^^mMi Sam, sitting idly behind the counter, watched the man as he entered. Outside the door he glanced around, as if to see that no one was watching, then stealth­ ily, as if he were committing a crime, the man opened the door and peered in. He spied Sam behind the counter and walked toward him. "A little self-consci­ ously" Sam thought, but then, they were You always like that. As he approached, Sam saw the package he clutched in his hand. "May I be helping you sir?" Somehow Lousy i that phrase seemed more elevated to 3 Sam. "Er a why yes." The man's voice trembled a little. "Poor old fellow," thought Sam. Jew!!! "I have a a watch a here." "Unhjl got too many watches. But Shows to me." "Here a a here." "Nei-vous," thought Sam. by CHARLES W. BERBERICH "Well, s'golt. A yes will take." "A a how much'll you give me?" "Och not much, is so many watches got. Ten dollars." "But sir it cost a hundi'ed-fifty." "I am so soiTy but I reallv. ..." "Please!" "Well not over fifteen." "I, I need the money for my wife. She, she's sick. H'here I'll show you. I, I have to buy medicine. Here's the prescription." "Oh well, I give you twenty." "Thankyou sir, thankyou!"

After he'd left, Sam sat thinking: "Dum old fool. You'll never recover I twenty on that old plate watch. Damn it all, why are you so kind hearted? You just i-un yourself out of business." He fingered the watch; felt it in his hand. There was a name on it, an in­ scription "To Heni-y With All My Love, Ellie." Eilie, EUie. He remembered or rather how could he forget? He had been in love with Ellie, his EUie and now she was dead. He remembered the scene, the brilliant sunset and salmon clouds. He saw the fence a black grillwork against the sky. Quick, boost, climb; they were over. Pounding feet across the plowed field, running, running. . . . And he remem­ bered the Swiss Red Cross that took care of him, and Ellie, til she died of tuber­ culosis. "Ooff," he roused himself. Better get some work done. The things in the win­ dow needed dusting. The violin, he'd only given five for that. It looked as if it could only play old tunes. Sam wondered. His mother had played the violin, sweet and sad tunes that almost made you hurt were all she knew. He could see the house he'd gi-own up in, dark, like his little pawnshop. And he remembered the little room on the fourth floor where he did his homework by candlelight because the gas pressure wasn't high enough. As he dusted the Civil War sword, thoughts started faster. He remembered the old soldier from the Franco-Prus­ sian War sitting on the bench outside (Continued on page 18) May 5, 1961 f^^ i^m el(
