By KEN THOREN

AVashington Hall harbored an un­ qualified hit last week when the Cath- olic University Players set iip shop for 'J^ three performances of Shakespeare's Much Ado Abo2it Nothing. The pro­ duction was bright, the play was hila­ rious and the acting was sprite. In all, it was a merry romp. Much Ado is far from being one of Shakespeare's top comedies. It doss, however, contain some wonderfully funny quips, some good, fat parts, and some whimsical situations. Like all of the master's comedies, the S plot becomes greatly entwined as it progresses. Beatrice, a real sister to the Shreiv's Katherine, is a misan- thorpe, at least where the dashing Bene­ dick is concerned.

Iowa's Fast Hawkeyes Show Here Monday

SAVE TIME BY CALLING FOR APPOINTMENT Marinus Van Eoi, one of Holland's lead­ ing criminologists, at a conference with W. E. Cyr, Prop. 100-102 South Main Street Chair No. 5 Prof. Hugh P. O'Brien, of the Depart­ ment of Sociology, last month. Father Van Eoi, who has just com­ pleted a study of juvenile delinquency in Elkhart County, is studying in this coun­ try under a three-month fellowship granted hy the United Nations. He will return to the Netherlands at the end of this month. Besides his post as Professor of Criminology in the state University of Utrecht, Father Van Eoi is advisor to the Dutch Minister of Home Affairs in the care of 'problem families.' "I am interested in the prevention of juvenile delinquency, especially in prob­ lem families," he explained. The Fran­ ciscan priest went on to say that during the war many homeless families were moved from the coastal cities to the east­ ern rural areas of his country. After the war, many of these families remain­ ed in the unemployment relief camps in which they were housed. Instead of re­ turning them immediately to the crowded city slums, the Dutch government is try­ ing to re-educate them in the "small vil­ lage" atmosphere of the camps. Father Van Eoi pointed out that life in the camp-villages is more conducive to personal restraint than the atmo­ sphere of the larger cities. It is also easier to promote a sense of personal re­ sponsibility in small communities. By a gradual change-over, the Dutch are try­ ing to re-educate the family as a unit. There are about 30 such camps in op­ eration now, along with four institutions for difficult juvenile cases. All of these are purely voluntary. Each camp has its own social workers and physicians. After camp life, the families are moved into individual homes supplied by the government. The families can purchase these homes gradually through a system of wage deductions. The Dutch hope to re-educate much of their poor city popu­ lation in this way.
