THENOTREDAMESCHOLASTICThem WimmenCOLLEGE PARADERAYMOND J. KELLYThe Gay '90'sProbably the result of an editor'snightmare after an evening watching"Strawberry Blonde," the WestminsterHolead published a "Gay '90's" issue.The make-up was of an ancient style;the photographs came from out of someone's almost forgotten past; even thepaper was yellowed. The news, storieswere written in the quaint language ofthose happy days when Lillian Russell,scorching like fury down Fifth Avenueon her gold-plated bicycle, tied up traffic for blocks and put the horse-cars backten minutes on their schedule. One storytold of the rules that have just been instituted regarding association of gentlemen 'students with members of the opposite sex. "Coeds may receive callers inthe parlors of Ladies hall one eveningof the week, excepting the Sabbath, andthat evening is designated by the faculty. Men are expected to ring the doorbell and await the approach of the housemistress. She will escort him into thereception room and take his calling cardto the woman he wishes to see. In 15minutes the lady will come downstairsand the gentleman may visit with heruntil 9:00."At the end of a stated period, the accumulated calling cards are returned totheir owners and may be re-used."Westminster ueber AllesIn the same "Gay '90's" issue of theHolead, the results of a stirring contestwere announced. The school had sponsored a competition in an endeavor toget a song that would improve Westminster's repertoire and help stimulate thecheering section, especially in the greatannual contest with Grove City Collegeeach November. Though the judges gaveit third place, the Parade felt that special recognition was due a stirring piecedashed oflF by "Bumpy" McHomswoggle.It is sung to the tune of "Ta-ra-ra boomde ay."This great team from G.C.C.Plays football with fist and knee;"Muckers" eight and students three.Form this team from G.C.C.Manager and captain, sureBoast themselves as' "amachoor."FuUback coaches.

Before throwing it out I glancedthrough it and discovered several photographs of a familiar looking midshipman. He was one of the 80 or so members of U.D. High's class of 1937.Now, would be a time to begin towax nostalgic if I only knew how. Whatan opportunity to wipe a pathetic tearout of the comer of my eye, and lookback on the boys who have been scattered by the heavy hand of time andchanged. Especially, changed. Back inthose happy days when Bundles forBritain was pointless alliteration, VemWitkowski was an editor and a footballmanager; the Parade ran a subversivenewspaper; and Ed Roney was a freshman. Oh happy, high-school days! Crowd NoisesIn the faculty dining hall . . . "Sitdown. Richards. You make the room lookshabby." . . . On the Oliver Mez . . ."She's a polished conversationalist.Everything she says casts a reflection onsomeone"A boy and a girl found themselves inan Eastern railroad station, accordingto the Annapolis Log. They were hungryand it was ten minutes until the trainpulled out. So they commandeered theservices of a newsboy and sent him forrefreshments. The urchin failed to return, however, and they were left with abundle of- newspapers which they hadretained as security. The boy was willingto let the matter drop and get on thetrain. Not so the girl. She conducted acar-to-car campaign, unloaded everyoneof her sport finals and realized a clearprofit of 2.40 on the deal. She goes toSarah Lawrence and will make someonea good wife.From "Daily Cardinal" (Wise.)"All over the land professors andother old women are talking about thepresent generation of the young as softand lazy, mediocre and fat. Maybe theyoung are soft. It is also true that allgenerations of the young have in theirtimes been described as degenerate bythe elders about them. In the history ofthe world there has not been a generation in which the" old were prepared toadmit that the young were as strong asthey themselves had been. It is the eternal excuse for stiff joints in the presence of the supple. I t is the ancient vanity of memory over manpower. Theyoung certainly have their faults. Theymay not be as smart, brave, energetic,strong as their elders who want to bedefended by them would have them be."
THEN O T R ED A M ES C H O L A S T I CNEW DEAL IN NEWSBy Frhpairick & MaguireBy GEORGE MILES'Not long ago, we found out what becomes of the left-overs from the cafeteriakitchen. One night we discovered one of the women in white packing away somechoice lamb bones to carry home. She was very careful, depositing each bone in aseparate piece of waxed paper, and caching them behind the grid until she had builtup a neat mound. Only one thing perturbed her: a colleague of hers refused to exchange some roast-beef leavings. But as the other attendant had it "First come, firstserved."*When the young and beautiful comic-strip aviatrix disappeared beneath the wavesof the Caribbean recently, the hearts of many University members were pierced. Infact, we were informed that a group of students who live on the third floor of Walshhall began to solicit contributions in order to buy a floral decoration. However, another group of alert Walshites raised an objection. To them the final word was missing: news of the dashing lady's demise had not been published in the ReligiousBulletiji.One of our most faithful informers ran up to us the other day and blustered outa report whose essence he considered an affront to himself and to every student ofthe University. I t seems that there is furniture display in one of the South Bendstores which features two entwined pennants above a fire-place. The pennants, ofcourse, are those of the University and that place which is near. Our friend suspectssomething sinister; we firmly believe that the association was coincidental.We Avill, and we feel confident, many, many more souls will be much happier andmuch pleasanter when "After the Ball Is Over" is over.Until our recent assignment to the Caf, we were ignorant of the manner and of themagnitude of those quid-nuncs who assemble there each day and attempt to do aslittle justice as possible to the greatest number of people, for the longest period oftime. Some of these people have formed teams so that they might be able to covermore territory. They seat themselves where they can listen to the greatest numberof conversations and watch all the entrances. And they give signals by lowering theireye-lids, or raising their eye-brows, or motioning with catsup bottles. And we canjust imagine what they say: "Will you just look at the outfit on this fellow!" or"Listen to this, listen; this will kill you." There is no doubt in our mind that on thosedays when the Caf is closed these characters suffer the tortures of the damned.The foreman of the campus groimd crew has made his solo. We saw him stop thedriver of the new multi-purpose tractor the other day and order him out of his machine. He then took over the controls himself and turned a few swipes on the grass. VMien he had satisfied his desire he stepped down, shook hands with the regular operator, and went on his way.For all those Men of Commerce who do not subscribe to the South Bend Tribunewe pass along the following excerpt from an excerpt: "Shakespeare was a salesman— all his characters sold different ideas. Among the sales ideas introduced by Shakespeare's characters were personal interviews, follow-up notes and the avoidance ofn a t i v e selling techniques," Mr, Burruss said. He illustrated his points by quotmgfrom the various works of Shakespeare. And that, we might add to all those defamers of the English Department, is what literature can do.*The buds are on the magnolia bush, the bone meal is on the grass, ants burrowt h d r way to the earth, and birds beat against the breeze. All of which should meanthat spring is here. There is one fellow who refuses to be convinced, however. He continues to wear his ear-muffs to school every day. He might at least change from thatwild orange color.SoRiN HALL, APRIL 14—Dr. Walter N.Hartung, Jr., famous physicist and worldrenown lecturer, in a post-Easter checkup of his Sorin hall laboratory, discovered that two molecules and three atomswere missing from the shelves. A morethorough checkup later revealed that thelaboratory was also missing.OKMULGEE,OKLA.,APRIL14—C.J.Farrell. noted gadabout and philanthropist, who gave away his last dime as atip to a pullman porter when he arrivedhere today, said he has given away agreat deal of money in his four years atNotre Dame. "As a matter of fact," hesaid, "every time I eat in the cafeteriaor buy a book at the bookstore I donatea great deal of money to somebody."OFF THE COAST OF SICILY, APRIL1.5—(Special from Frederic B. Slurp, Sleepy,Eye, Minn., correspondent of the LondonTimes). Joe Glumpf, the sandwich man,has been doing a tremendous cash business all this past week selling hamburgsand smokescreens to Italian battleships. Today a Postal Telegraph messenger rowed out from Naples to Joe's cakeof ice with a telegram from Larry McLaughlin, chairman of the Notre Damesenior ball, informing Joe that he hasbeen given the tea concession at the teadance. Mr. Glumpf immediately wiredacceptance and also asked that a pollbe conducted among the seniors to determine which kind of tea they like besiwith their candlelight.NOTRE DAME, IND., APRIL 17—D.G.Sullivan flying editor of the Santa Manaand flying corsage salesman, when askedtoday what he expected to be after hispresent secondary aviation course iscompleted, replied, "I'll be the samedfool I am now!"CRANITEFALLS, M I N N . ,APRIL15—The Granite Falls government todayauthorized the purchase of two usedsubmarines and three Civil War cannonsto add to the Granite Falls defenses in ithe face of the threatened invasion byjSleepy Eye troops. Michael Keegan, gov- emment spokesman, told the press todaylthat, "The people of Granite Falls want!peace here and are willing to make a n j sacrifices, but if we are invaded we'l leave town."

THE8NOTREDAMES C H O L A S T I Chalf-success by tying with Paul Lillisfor first place'(although a freshman anda sophomore ran up a higher score).By James MeaneySince Tom Carty left Manhattan Prepand his home in Yonkers, N. Y., he'sbeen a busy man. He was one of the behind - the - scenesmanipulatorsinpolitics his freshman y e a r — hisward was Cavanaugh hall — andachieved the impossible in keepingup with all thedeals and counterdeals of a hecticcampaign.Thisearned h i m t h en i c k - n a m e of" B o s s T w e e d"Carty, and foreshadowed his maCartyjoring in politicsand his presidency of the Academy ofPolitics.His crowTiing achievement on the campus was his editorship of the Dome lastyear, which was only one of his manyactivities such as being recording secretary of the Knights of Columbus andquiz-man in the Radio Club. At presenthe's working with the Confraternity atSt. Mary's, on the SCHOUiSTic staff, andin the Radio Club. This year with PaulVignos he represented Alimmi hall in theinter-hall debates. He has finished histhesis on "Proportional-Representationin Yonkers, New York," under the directorship of Prof. F. A. Hermans, worldwide authority on "P.-R."Tom had the good fortune to make atrip to Europe in the summer of hisfreshman year, "before it all began,"and has a movie-film record of histravels. He says he wouldn't like tomake the trip again — vnth a lot of otheryoung fellows dressed in khaki.Among his many successes, there area few failures — such as the time hemissed the office of Grand Knight of theK. of C. by a few votes, and in an unofficial contest was beaten' by Ray Kellyand Jerry FIjmn in the number of "mentions" in the Dome last year (by anironic mistake the indexer had failed tolist him as Editor!) But he made up forthis by breaking into the St. Mary'sBlue Mantle! With Professor Quiz, he,the quiz-master of the campus, won aTom is known as the waterboy of theOliver AU-Americans (he doesn't drink),and although his average in the St.Mary's League is low, it's apt to beraised Avith the Confraternity approaching. But of his private life, little isknown. He avows he hasn't any— butthat's probably a political gesture.Making movies is his hobby.In public appearances, Tom is in 'hisglory. He'll make a speech anytime, anywhere, on anything. He finds a quiz program or a public interview most pleasurable; a chairmanship or toastmastership is irresistible for him. He is anexpert and a plague of Mr. Coyne in hiscourse on parliamentary procedure. Tomis said to sleep with Robert's Rules under his pillow. Friends say that if thereis ever a chairmen's convention, TomCarty vnll be chairman of it. Probablythe climax of his campus career as chairman came when he closed an Academyof Politics meeting by making the nowfamous remark to Dr. Gurian, "We'llhave to take a rain-check on the questions, Doctor!"Carty plans to become a heating engineer in his father's concern; we won'tmention what his friends mumble about"hot air" and "head of steam."Philadelphia SymphonyWill Play Here May 2Without the aid of the Fantasoundequipment which produces such uniquesound effects in Walt Disney's Fantasia,the well known Philadelphia SymphonyOrchestra will climax Music Week eventsat Notre Dame on Friday, May 2. ThePhiladelphia Symphony has achieved anoutstanding name for itself in its 41years of existence". In recent years nosmall part of its success has been dueto co-conductor Leopold Stokowski.Most recent success of Stokowski andthe Symphony was their appearance inFantasia in which technical apparatusmade the music of the organization seemto float literally down the aisles into thelaps of the patrons. Probable conductorat Notre Dame, however, is Himgarianbom Eugene Ormandy. Ormandy is coconductor with Stokowski although thelatter's position appears to be only nominal a t present in view, of his work withthe All-American Youth Orchestra.Conductor Ormandy is no newcomer tomusic, having made his debut at Budapest a t the age of seven.- Prior to hisaccepting a permanent position with thePhiladelphia Symphony in 1937 he guestconducted many other famous symphonies, among them the New York Philharmonic. The Symphony concert andother Music Week events will be held inthe fieldhouse under the sponsorship ofthe Civic Music Association of SouthBend and the Notre Dame entertainmentcommittee.Another feature of Music Week willbe the appearance Wednesday night,April 30, of the Augustana CollegeChoir, of Rock Island, 111. This is one ofthe foremost college choral groups in thecountry. Director Henry Veld has devised a triple grouping of songs for theimpending recital. The first unit of theprogram is sung by the Jenny Lind female chorus; the second unit by theWennerberg male chorus; and the lasttwo parts by these two groups combined. There are 68 members travelingin the organization. The Augustana hasmade five ten-inch and three 12-inchRCA-Victor red seal records to date.Miss Rose Bampton, American soprano, will be-the featured soloist withthe South Bend Symphony Orchestra onMonday, April 28. Miss Bampton is wellknown to opera lovers. She made herdebut in the 1932-33 season of the NewYork Metropolitan Opera Company inthe contralto role of Laura in La Gioconda. Since then Miss Bampton hasbeen featured as a soloist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and manyother city symphonies.Last mentioned but not least in entertainment value are Notre Dame's owncontributions to the program. On Sunday night, April 27, the Notre Dameconcert band will open Music Week.Tuesday, April 29, the Glee Club andthe Symphony Orchestra will give ajoint concert. Judged by the enthusiasticapproval given the work of the lattertwo groups in the "Gondoliers" and atthe Glee Club's "Song of the Free" spectacle, an enthusiastic crowd is assuredfor this concert.—Robert LeMenseNew Bulletin BoardMost recent innovation of man-aboutthe-campus John O'Dea, Alumni hallEnglish major, is a bulletin board to beplaced upon the front steps of the University dining hall for daily announcements of the major campus events.In this manner John hopes to spreadknowledge among students as to numerous campus radio programs, Washington hall performances and other campusactivities.
