Midiigan St. I LETTERS Dear Sir: May I add my "two-bits worth" to the suggestion of one, Thomas Auchler (SCHOLASTIC, March 7, 1947) regarding the houi-s of the library? Since it is the policy of the university (and rightly so) that some outside read­ ing be required in many of the courses, it hardly seems logical that the library 19 Trains Daily to CHICAGO should keep such short hours. I hardly think that it is a matter of insufficient First two morning trains leave South Bend at 6:00 A.M. and 6:50 A.M. Beginning at 7:30 A.M. and help, as I believe that many students until 9:30 P.M. there is a train every hour leaving would be happy to have a chance to earn at 30 minutes past the hour. The last two trains part of their tuition by working in the leave at 11:00 P.M. and 12:00 Midnight. Hourly service from Chicago, too. For travel information library.

For my money, the SCHOLASTIC is the best college magazine on any campus. Dear Sir: Just who . does this O'Connor, who puts out his diatribes in his column, "The Week," think he is. He's certainly not a humorist. Sure, Mac, the army (and the navy) was no picnic, but the SOUTHSHORE majority of men left their gripes at the separation center, and took a new lease on life, tucked in the pocket of the new brown gabardine suit. But some few disillusioned strategists carried these gripes over into a college news magazine in the form of humor? Better read DANCING every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday what humor really is by scanning "The Week" column in the Scholastic of 1942- at the 43 when Jack Woelf le was the author. I suggest, also, that if the service be men­ tioned at all, it be with genuine humor, as illustrated by Joe Wilcox's article in the March 14 issue of ScholaMic. And O'Connor's remark in the column (March 14) about Jews should never have gotten into print. This is a Cath­ olic university and such Anti-Semitism has no place here, even in the form of "humor." The Irish would do well to disown one John A. O'Connor, since the majority of them do not claim glory for themselves by virtue of the Superman drivel and making slurring remarks about members of the Hebrew national­ ity. The Blue Circle might condemn him, as they did the author of the Dining Hall employees letter. Incidentally, Mr. O'Connor, I'm neither Irish nor Hebrew, and I, too, was an enlisted man (navy).
