volume II, No. V · September 25, 1967 ABC Board Arrests Ten In Corby Tavern Raid

BY MIKE SMITH

Ten Notre Dame students are awaiting court action and possi­ ble disciplinary measures by the University after their arrest Fri­ day night for being in a tavern while under age. The arrests were made by state excise officers at the Corby Tavern, 1026 Corby Blvd., in South Bend. According to inves­ tigators, the tavern will be re­ ferred to the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a li­ cense hearing. Three' of the ten students were under 18; charges against them were dropped and their names referred to the University Security Office. The older stu­ dents were released on $100 bond each and scheduled for a­ ppearance in city court next F!iday night. The seven adults were identi­ fied by the police as Gregory C. Ellsworth, 19, ofWestwood, N.J.; Christopher J. Fisher, 18, Indianapolis; James C. Gillespie, 18, Louisville; Peter M. McGrod­ dy, 18, New York City; John P. Murtaugh, 18, South Euclid, O­ hio; Kevin E. Myles, 18, Attle­ boro, Mass.; and Christopher J. Rohrs, 18, Yonkers, N.Y. Excise officers said they were making a routine check when they spotted the students in the tavern drinking, and that some of them had false identifications which showed they were 21. Rev. James Riehle, C.S.C., Dean of Students, will talk to each of the ten students private­ ly this week, and determine if disciplinary action on the part of the University is warranted. Capt. Arthur Pears, head of the Notre Dame Security Office, said that "last year Notre Dame had quite a few cases of students with phony ID's."

In the long and triumphant history of Du Lac, the venerable Dome has witnessed a remarkable transition in her Lady's priest­ hood. At one time, when Rock was still building the house that Rock built, kind and constant grey-haired fathers of the Lord dotted the campus with a brievary and a football tucked neatly under their arm. They were men of pride and of reverence, blunt ·I men who called a mortal sin a mortal sin and made side bets on the attendance at Communion. They were forceful men, men who urged a fullback onto another touchdown against those secular lost sheep. Yet they were gentle men, men who would read their boys' letters in order to counsel them in the confessional; strong men who got their boys to Mass early and then sent them off to class with a fatherly pat. They built a tradition out of ruins and they built the statue of "Fair Catch Corby." Incisive men, they were able to see through a student's excuses and also had the ability to spot a guard who pulled too late. And yet they were erudite scho­ lars, blending Thomism and the split T with impunity, and making the most of spitballs. In short, they were the children of heaven, blessed with the gift of truth and secure in their ironclad knowledge. Sometime in the 1950's these men of Irish manna and draft beer began to disappear. At first their disappearance was not no­ ticed, but after a short time a change was seen. The fathers were gone and the sensitive young men had sprung up around the quads. They arrived with Civil Rights and the New Left and Vatican Coun­ cils and Lawrence Ferlinghetti and they dug everything. Army jackets and sandals and Selma came with them. Of course they couldn't go, but they showed a sensitive sympathy with the titanic struggle of Roy Wilkins and Thurgood Marshall.
