Shced of the publishing house of Sheed & Ward wi l l speak at a gen-eral assembly for a l l students of the college on Tuesday. November 13. in A l u m n i Ha l l under the sponsorship of the Student Congress. M i Sheed is an Austral ian of Irish descent. He was graduated from Syd-ney Universi ty in Ar ts and Law On ' . . rum. to England, however, he de-cided not to practice law. but instead founded a Catholic publishing house which aims at presenting Catholicism positively and at heing a medium of expression for the whole Catholic world In 1926. wi th his wife. Maisie Ward, he established the London house of Sheed & Ward. The Amer i -can house was founded in 1933. The firm lists include most of the Ring Committee Chairmen Elected By Junior Class Two weeks ago, the Junior Class held its first meeting for the purpose of electing the co-chairmen of the Class Ring Committee. George De-sormeaux, a commuter from Chart-ley, Mass , and dorm student Charl ie Duggan, of Wealhersfield, Conn., were elected as the co-office hold-ers Approximately thirty members of their class participated in the voting. A t a special meeting held yester-day, a permanent committee was ap-pointed to meet the various sales rep-resentatives of the r ing concerns con-tacted, and also to examine their products and their contract condi-tions. Gene Daly, last year's chair-man, has offered his services to the committee In past years the committee has emphasized the quality of the r ing, rather than set a definite price. Fo r a few dollars more a r ing which has a greater pennyweight and is con-structed to last a l ifetime can be purchased. Last Thursday, November 1, Mister James Corr of the Herff-Jones Com-pany of Newark, N . J . , was met by a large group of Juniors. The co-chairmen presided while Mr . Con-proceeded to explain the advantages of his r ing. He promised that rings would be delivered to the class by the end of February, if his com-pany received the contract. The next meeting with a sales representative w i l l be tomorrow, Thursday, at 1:30 in the parlor across Freshmen Elections To Be Held Nov. 28 After consultation with Father Quirk, freshman moderator, the Student Congress h a s scheduled freshman elections for Wednesday.

N O V E M B E R 7. lii-~>B A Working Congress By DICK DENOIA This year has shown an intrinsic change-or better," an improvement—in the general at-titude of the student body towards Providence College. There has been a surge of almost un-paralleled spirit, pride, and hard work. Prob-ably the predominant force behind this re-birth has been a much-rejuvenated Student Congress. No group on campus has worked more diligently towards instilling vigor into the social life of our school or in attempting, while governing, to effect an atmosphere of gentlemanly responsibility which must be strong in the college student. Last week, because of consistent disregard of basic regulations governing such events, the Congress, at an emergency meeting, temporarily suspended the weekly Friday night stag-dances. Many students who fre-quent these events were dismayed, perhaps even indignant, that the Congress should have taken upon itself to take such action. Certain-ly this was a radical act, but also an act which shows the genuine interest and clear-thinking of our governing body. That there had been abuses at the dances is a fact known by most of us. Had the Congress, in the face of these abuses, not acted with keen foresight in sus-pending the dances temporarily, and asked the Administration for sufficient time for arbi-tration upon a solution in meeting this prob-lem, the Administration may have been forced to cancel all Friday night dances. Instead, realizing that the official voice of the student body is mature enough to recognize the ex-isting problem, and sincere enough to postpone the dances and form committees to work out a possible solution so that they may be con-tinued, the Administration has voiced its sup-port of the action of the Student Congress and approval of the means employed by the group in working towards a continuance of the dances. Our Student Congress is working now, as it should be and has been, for a solution to this immediate difficulty, so that we, those for whom the organization exists, may once again enjoy the privilege of Friday night dances. It is functioning for us and for our best interests with sincere effort, hard-think-ing, and exceptional foresight. Higher Education Week Higher Education Week is being observed from November 11 to 17. This brings up the interesting question of what we here in America mean by higher education. General-ly speaking we consider any scholastic learn-ing beyond the secondary level to be in this class. However, there are several different schools of thought on what are the aims of learning. There are those institutions which be-lieve and teach in a method that is hardly consonant with the dignity of man. They do not educate the whole man, but put inordi-nate stress on his lower faculties, while cate-gorically denying the spirituality of his mind. The result of this system is the materialistic and Hedonistic world in which we live. On the other hand, we have our Catholic institutions of higher learning, whose aim is to educate the whole man. They strive to develop his intellectual qualities as well as strengthen his moral convictions. Learning is ordered so as to give a proper evaluation to the subject matter. The result of this type of education is a well rounded man who under-stands and appreciates life, and who is an asset to his church, his country, and himself. *************************************** Political View Point *************************************** By Frank Brennan In the last few weeks the world situation has gone from the frying pan into the fire, and it seems as though its going to stay there until the world itself burns. The first of these events was the revolt of ' the people of Poland against their Soviet con-trolled government. It seems at the outset that this revolt had been reasonably successful, but | in reality it just wrote another hlood-stained chapter in that country's history. Catching a spark from Poland, Hungarians caused the same kind of revolt in their country, which also seemed to be a success. They had driven the Russian influences out of government, and had set up their own temporary government. This government then proceeded to discuss with the Soviet Union, on equal grounds, the removal of Russian troops from the country of Hun-gary. But the Russians weren't going to lose this bloc in their Iron Curtain, and on Sunday of this week, Russian troops with weapons at-tacked the country, destroyed its government, and replaced it with a group of men loyal to the Russian cause. While all this was going on. the Near East was exploding into another world crisis. Israel declared war on Egypt, for the many small of-fenses which Egypt had inflicted upon Israel. This situation was bad enough, but it was made a hundred times worse when England and France declared war on Egypt in what they determined was a quickly needed police action, for which the United Nations was in-capable of handling. There is no reason to develop these facts any further, it is the consequences of all these developments which is the concern of the free world. And this is my opinion how things will turn out. There isn't too much to say about the situ-ation in Europe. The Russians have handled that themselves. The United Nations will prob-ably censure the Soviet government for inter-fering in the internal affairs of the govern-ments of Hungary and Poland. The United States and a few other countries will send aid to these countries to help them supply them-selves with the basic necessities of life. And that will be that. What should happen is, in effect, a dif-ferent procedure with the same result. The United Nations has already discussed the sit-uation in the Security Council, and because of the veto it has been deadlocked. But they have not stopped there. Since 1950, after the pass-ing of the "Uniting for Peace" resolution, the General Assembly can discuss and take action on any measure which the Security Council is deadlocked. However, any decisions made in matters such as these are made only in the form of a recommendation, and therefore have no real support behind them. The best that they can hope for is agreement of economic sanctions. But in this respect such a sanction would be negligible, since the Soviet bloc is almost self-sustaining among themselves. Next we turn our attention to the issues in the Near East. The attacks made by Israel on Egypt were according to the Israel Govern-ment made in defense of its country. Many border clashes have resulted between the two countries in the last month, and Israel felt that it could no longer be inactive on the situation. The question of who was right and who was wrong in this case is still undetermined. Egvpt was definitely in error in its many a t -tacks upon Israel, but Israel must also be con-demned for its lack of prudence in not using the peaceful means at its disposal. However, there is another important factor t o be taken into consideration, and that is the attack made on Egypt by the combined forces o f Eng-land and France. There have been many bitter statements made in connection with ArWo-French intervention in the Near East. But Prime Minister Eden, speaking for both coun-tries, has said that the action taken by these two states was necessary t o prevent the present aggression from spreading a l l over the Near East. Eden stated in the House of Commons that the means at the King-dom's disposal, namely the various organs of the United Nations would be t o o slow for a situation which demanded immediate action. So these two countries took it upon themselves to enforce their own "police action". But there is more t o this than meets the eye. England has alwavs been the king o f colonialism, and since this is the lifeline o f the Empire it must continue t o be. O f late many of the possessions o f the Kingdom have broken their bonds with the Empire. If this were a l -lowed there would be no longer a strong Em-pire. The latest blow to the English lifeline was the seizure of the Suez Canal by Colonel Nasser. England tried to retain control o f the Canal through the United Nations, but was (Continued on Page 8) A Slice of Lemon B y B O B L A F F E Y A s I was walking across the parking lot in back of A l u m n i Ha l l the other day, I saw a famil iar figure steaming across the campus l ike an aveng-ing angel I changed the direct ion of my steps so thai 1 could get a better lnuk at the figure. I was right, it was M r . Blades I hur r ied so that my path would cross his because 1 was sure he'd have something interesting to say A s usual, he began without any greeting, but M r . Blades is M r Blades and I don't mind. "Since you insist. ' ' he said, "upon perpetrating that column uf yours on the people in this insti tution, and since you must print nearly every word 1 say, you might as wel l print this." "Bu t M r . Blades," I began. "I doa t—." "What excuse can you offer Ihis t ime for the music that I 'm forced to listen to every time I sit in the cafeteria?" **I thought I'd already explained that," I said. " Y o u haven't, ' ' he said, "and moreover, I don't think you can." A s I've said before, M r . Blades doesn't think very highly of my intel-ligence. "Just what's wrong with i t ? " I asked. "Eve ry th ing that could possibly be wrong with it. The pr imary thing is that it's degrading It's the type one expects to find in th i rd rate dru i stores. It's definitely not what you would expect to find in a college." "Bu t , " 1 said, "people here l ike i t ." "What possible difference does that make? There are people who think murder is the greatest thing that was ever invented, but that doesn't change the value of murder in any way. That sort of music is indicative of an im-mature mind; it's loud and it requires l i t t le or no attention The fact is that you can't get away from it. It is v i r tua l ly impossible to sit in the cafeteria for more than ten minutes without being practically blasted off your chair by a horr ible cacaphony. Who cares whether people l ike it or not? The question is, what are the people that l ike it doing in a college? Anyone who has so li t t le brains lhat he must concentrate his intellectual powers on that part icular type of t r iv ia would be better off tending steppe cats, to borrow one of your own sparkl ing hyperboles." Before I could make any reply, he stalked off in the direct ion of the d r i l l field It's always refreshing to talk to M r Blades, he always has some-thing interesting to say. B y the time this thing sees print, the big fever w i l l have subsided and things w i l l re turn to a saner pitch There w i l l be quite a bit of backtracking and some very quiet forgetting of campaign promises. The morning after an election reminds me of a man waking up after a bad night wi th demon rum In the heat of the previous night's party he makes a lot of rash state-ments, insults a lot of people, and generally makes a fool of himself. He wakes up the next morning with a big headache, a bad taste in his mouth, and the vague memory of somebody doing a lot of foolish things. When his : perception sharpens somewhat, he remembers that it was he who threw the grandfather clock through the front door and poured martinis into the i piano to make it sound better. Comes morning, however, he wishes he had been in Siberia, or at least i n Madagascar It is often the same thing with politics In the heat of campaign maneuvers a man is l ike ly to make a great | deal of promises which he real ly meant at the time, but which, when viewed in the cold l ight of day. terrify their author. The sad part about these promises is that they are usually concerned with needed improvements and the l ike which, for one reason or another, are not thought to be feasible by the policy makers. Of course this does not apply to a l l , or even the greater part of campaign promises. Most of these are made in good faith and are kept by their makers. But there are a few which, for reasons of pol i t ica l expediency, are made and then qu ick ly forgotten. But the point is, they have been made. The voter then has a perfect lever upon which he can exert ! pressure in coming elections. The promises have been made, it 's up to the | voter to see that they're kept, or else. In Passing B y Dave Pep in Being hard pressed by a deadline, I am forced to relate an oft told story which takes no imagination on my part. It is the story of Ber t Ranon and his contr ibution to students a l l over the world . Bert was a serious student who did endless research. W h i l e in college Bert was constantly searching for new methods for achieving passing marks, without studying if possible One of his first discoveries concerned the ego of most professors B y asking about books writ ten by the professor Bert became very popular among the faculty. Another ready way to earn higher marks was to ask for outside reading. Natura l ly nobody bothered with this reading, but each professor would reflect on the interest the class took in his subject. Bert also formulated a certain set of rules to be followed if one wanted to pass without studying. He felt that sleep was most important part of a l l classes The main thing to avoid was talking in one's sleep. Secondly, it is imperative that a student should make arrangements to be awakened so as not to be left sleeping in an empty room Sit t ing in the front row usually helped, if one intended to stay awake. Ask ing questions in class is a good technique, but always be careful to ask enly those the professor can answer Special care should be U k e n . because no professor knows every-thing about his course, but few w i l l admit i t .

Y o u can't say no to U n c l e Sam, so the school's mi l i t a ry department was rather nonplussed when a prospective freshman turned down its offer of compulsory mi l i t a ry t ra in ing .

Han lon and Boucher moved to the front halfway around Hendr i cken F i e l d , but Dennis Carey h a d no in -tention to be left behind today and moved r ight along w i t h them. N o r t h -eastern, noted for the uni ty w i t h wh ich its team operates, had four men runn ing close together about twenty yards behind the pace setters.

To that fraternity it's as expected as the Augus t "dog days." It seems every football season a coach's p icnic ends when the dreaded Saturday of upsets arrives. _ Black Saturday str ikes at least once and quite often twice dur ing the course of the p igsk in sortie. The day comes just when some college-happy a lumni feel the 01' A l m a Mate r is ex-pected to breeze through the rest of the campaign. The evening of the shrouded Sat-urday finds frustrated sportswriters searching for excuses or pred ic t ing a reversal the next week. To, the coaches of the current ly unscathed footbal l units, the day of reckoning of the 1956 season may have passed. A t least they hope so. This year 's Oct. 27 appears to be at least the first of the suicide Sat-urdays, Such previous unsul l ied elev-ens as Mich igan State, Mich igan , and Y a l e toppled f rom the ranks of the unbeaten. Loca l ly , the demise of the highly-touted E l i s f rom N e w Haven is wor thy of more than passing note. The grad-ual collapse of the l u r k i n g Y a l e pow-erhouse is s t r ic t ly a case of over-ra t ing, over-playing, and over-think-ing . ,; W h e n the advance footbal l yearl ies h i t the stands early last Augus t , the forces of Jordan O l i v e r were t icketed to romp untouched through the f i rs t fo rmal competi t ion of the Ivy League and better the performance turned i n by the heralded Y a l e outfit of 1923. One nat ional prognostic at or even leaped out on a Co l l i e r ' s Magazine l i m b and p icked the Bul ldogs as the th i rd-ranked team i n the country. L o c a l scribes, t ak ing advantage of the already accorded fame of the E l i s , pounded out tons of impressive, awe-f i l l ing copy, tabbing the great-ness of the B l u e long before they stepped on to a f ie ld . When the Ya le i e s f ina l ly d i d play a name m d were pract ical ly dumped by the Univers i ty of Connecticut , the same scribes passed off the mediocre showing as opening-game j i t ters . The fo l lowing weeks Y a l e downed hapless B l o w n , th inned Columbia , and r i d d l e d C o r n e l l , but the wins weren' t of the cal iber expected of the cracked-up gridders.

I would l i k e to go one step further and t e l l the sad tale of a pressurized b a l l c lub; bal lplayers who play under pressure appl ied by thei r own bosses. The team I speak of, are the current Wor ld ' s Champions, the N e w Y o r k Yankees. The Yankee organization is a l i v i n g proof of the enormous amount of power a general manager, or any other i n executive capacity (this includes Stengel) wields over the bal lp layers under h i m . I say i t is a sad tale because when we re-flect upon iho si tuation, It makos us wonder when a sport becomes not a sport. The Yankee front office has appl ied the o ld boxing ax iom to base-bal l : the best f ighter is a hungry f ighter . A fact not general ly k n o w n Is tha t the Yankees are one of the poorest paid outfits i n the majors. Imme-diately the objection arises concern-ing the salaries of B e r r a , Mant le , F o r d and a few others. To say the least, they are just. Bu t I am speak-ing of the team as a whole. In 1952 T o m m y B y r n e , then w i t h the St. Lou i s Browns, wrote an ar t ic le for a nation-al ly known magazine. In it he states, "It seems that they knew just what they were going to do w i t h ever}' cent and when it came round to me, they'd say, 'Th i s is i t . Th i s is what we've al lot ted for you. ' B u t it never was enough." Y o u might ment ion the display of excess generosity they showed when g iv ing l i t t l e P h i l Riz-zuto a large share i n W o r l d Series dividends. S imply a cover up for the gross injustice done to the Scooter. Ano the r case to be c i ted is that of Johnny Mize . When asked the reason for his ret irement i n 1953, b ig Jawn repl ied that he was disappointed in the salary cut he received for his performance i n the '52 Series and feared he would receive noth ing after a mediocre season i n '53. T h i s slant on Y a n k e e miser l iness gives r ise to a new outlook on Professors Weiss and Stengle's famous two platoon system. It's reasonable to say that a part t ime bal lp layer such as Joe C o l -l ins o r Els ton H o w a r d cannot de-F a u l k n e r mand as much pay as a regular . I each could be a regular on all] any other team. A w h i l e ago I ment ioned B j Mize and Rizzuto. The three be to a special f raterni ty delicately ferred to as the Y a n k e e Slag H Byrne, however, a long w i t h Slaughter are specia l members ,! they made George Weiss back t i | They were traded away but < ly this mistake was rec t i f ied they were brought back.

Th i s po i r | the basis of the controversy swept the meet ing beyond it | g ina l time p l an . In Defense nf this Thing Called J: | B y J O H N E N C E L L W e have seen how jazz was pushed out of N e w Orleans, and x to migrate to many parts of the country. Chicago had idea l surrou | to provide the music. D u r i n g its ea r ly l i fe , jazz was p r i m a r i l y | among the N e g r o and because there was a large Negro populat i Chicago welcome w o u l d be g iven to the musicians. Despi te the fat there was vice i n the N e g r o sect ion, the percentage was sma l l cor to N e w Orleans. Once sett led, jazz was ready for i ts second major The then two most successful places i n Chicago were the R o y a l ( and the Savoy. Two pieces of music that were to become " S t o m p i n ' at the Savoy" and " R o y a l Garden Blues" , were wr i t t en fot I At t rac ted b y the jazz of the N e w Orleans musicians, the owners o spots engaged jazz bands. M a n y of the same groups such as the ( D i x i e l a n d Band , J e l l y r o l l M o r t o n ami his Creoles .and others gained nence because more people became exposed to the i r music . F o r II t ime, jazz was taken out of bars and "d ives" and g iven a chance to clean, fresh a i r i n places that society more or less accepted. There were two other factors that cont r ibuted to the success at this t i m e — P r o h i b i t i o n and the advent of the record machine. E a s y s " w i t h the i r i l l ega l beverages had a jazz group to provide en ment. A l t h o u g h most of the people came for the l iquor , nevei many l i k e d the music .

Perhaps this I the dec id ing one i n conc lud ing t h : rm of music , ca l led jazz, was stay. F o r the f i r s t t ime jazz was not res t r ic ted to the Negro alone, ar and more whi te music ians began to appear i n the groups i n l in J i m m y M c P a r t l a n d , B u d Freeman , the Dorseys, and a youngster of named B e n n y Goodman, to name a few, had the i r start i n Chica? spread of popu la r i ty of the i r music seemed to s t imulate the desire and more young m e n to become musicians. The music i tself was s t iU i n the crude, rough stage. It was m often each ins t rument i n the group was p l ay ing a different "1 melody.

So the recent attacks by Israel on Egypt was a perfect opportunity for Eng-land to seize the canal under the sham of a "Police Action." The truth of the matter ia that England acted as judge and jury in this matter to attain its own selfish ends, and at the expense of its relations with the United States, and world peace. Again this case has been brought before the United Nations, and again the Security Council has been unable to take any effective means to stop the war because of the veto used this time by both France and England. So the matter has been put into the hands of the General Assembly, but it is doubtful whether this organ of the United Nations will go any farther than it did in the European af-fair. It is quite definite that these countries should be named as the aggressor, but for political reasons among the allied powers it is doubtful whether this action will be taken. This situation has made bed-fellows out of the United States and the Soviet Union, but not because the United States had anything to do with it. Russia has seen, in this situa-tion, a chance to create a "house divided" among the Allied powers, and is doing every-thing to materialize this possibility. This Sun-day they have called for a showdown session in the General Assembly in order to see if they separate the great powers. If they can do this, there's no telling where the world will end. The one conclusion that seems to be evi-dent in this whole confused affair is that the United Nations is on the "rocks," and seems to be heading for Davy Jones" locker. But if the U. N. does go the way of the League of Nations, where will we end up? This is a ques-tion that is burning on the lips of every person in the United States, and whether the people like it or not they have to face reality. It might mean war. Do any of you have an answer?

Club A t a recent meeting of the Black-slone Va l l ey C lub a motion was raised to have a Thanksgiving dance. Plans are now being formulated by a com-mittee headed by Charles Welsh and John Boyd assisted by E d L e Beau, Dick Naughton, Ray Casey, John Hol le , George Dupre and Tom Borek The L a Foyer c l u b , in Pawtucket, has been designated as the location of the gala event. Bids have been set at $1.50 per couple and w i l l be distr ibuted to the committee later in the week. Father Shanley, the club moderator, has expressed hopes of having one of the best dances to be held in the Blackston Va l l ey area. Father Begley was the speaker at the October meeting of the c lub and speakers engaged for future meetings are Joe Mullaney, varsity coach of basketball and Pete Louthis , director of in t ramural athletics Mul laney is scheduled for the November meeting while Louthis w i l l speak at the January meeting.

A l l members are urged to watch the bullet in board for future notices Officers for the coming year were elected at the last meeting. Rings N E W H O N O R SYSTEM ( A C P ) — C o l u m b i a Universi ty 's stu-dent board has given its support to the eventual establishment of an hon-or system in the hope of cur ta i l ing the strong competi t ion for marks which is believed to be the cause of much of the cheating on exams. The board admits, however, that an in-doctrination period of several years would be necessary before the pro-gram could be put into ful l force. Board members feel that the strong competi t ion for high marks has brought about a period of moral lax-ity, and that a sense of ind iv idua l student responsibili ty should be fos-tered They said the program would be part of an over-all plan to de-em -phasue the competitive aspects of Co-lumbia life However, others have ex-pressed doubt that an honor system wuuld remedy the situation. The op-position feels the school has a defin-ite responsibili ty to make marks as rel iable as possible. Blues Worry . . .

Edward McFadden and Anthony T i t u l l i have been appointed co-chair-men of the Jun io r P r o m by J i m Hagan. president of Ihe class of 1958. The committee is currently nego-tiating for a date wi th the Bi l tmore Hotel and is in the process of select-ing an orchestra. A suggestion was made to the class officers that a small hand rather than a large name orchestra be hired to provide music for the prom. The class officers have de-cided to put this suggestion to a vote of the entire class sometime next week. A l l juniors w i l l be el igible to vote in the balloting which w i l l take place i n the rotunda of Hark ins H a l l where the C O W L is usually dis-tr ibuted. The voting w i l l be done on Ihe honor system and it is hoped that a l l students w i l l act accordingly for the benefit of the class. The Junior Class is also discussing the possibili ty of holding a Win te r Fest ival , a class raffle, and a jazz festival to be held i n conjunction with Homecoming Weekend. Plans have also been discussed for the Jun io r weekend which w i l l be s imi l a r to last year's Sophomore weekend. Anyone interested i n work ing on com-mittees please get i n touch wi th the class officers or the general chair-man of the affair in which they de-sire to help.

Af ter discussing proposed alterations, the Men U n i o n Govern-ing Board has decided against an un-limited cut system for the school. The President of the Board. Joe Ph i l l i p s , said the main drawback against unl imi ted cutting at Ohio Univers i ty is that the school is not on a plane with Ivy or eastern schools that offer such a system. Said P h i l -l ips : "We ' re not a highly selective universi ty l ike they are and, there-fore, the plan would not work ." Phi l l ips said thai ind iv idua l pro-fessors at Ohio Univers i ty have their "own qu i rks" about cutt ing classes. Some permit no cuts, some grant three, and others allow an unl imi ted amount.
