Glen Corso began his state ment by expressing his thoughts on the goals of the S.E C. He said that “since its inception it has been concerned with restric tive University rules such as parietals, and should now widen the scope of its activities.” Corso said further that he felt Black Recruitment was the “foremost problem, requiring prompt attention by the university.” He said that the present staff has done an excellent job in spite of the limitations placed on it through monetary restrictions. Corso revealed that he felt that the S.E C. should press for a “professionally staffed and fully funded program for minority recruitment.” “University priorities is said: “The Environmental Teach-in Committee feels that our educa tional system, as it now exists, does not foster the love and respect for nature that it should. Thus the image of society that results is incomplete, for man is intimately a part of nature and reliant upon it.

He said that all students should, through their electives, be able to take a wide variety of courses but that the restrictions on government courses was “a denial of the very essence of a liberal arts education.” In other areas, Corso said that he would work for improvements in the “calibar of our security force”, and especially for better judge ment in the committments of University funds. James O’Gorman in discussing the issues of the current SEC campaign expressed his belief that, “while issues and problems are important, the student should vote for the man and not the issue, because issues pass but the men must deal with new problems.” In the area of Black Recruitment, O ’G o r m a n said that it should definitely be stepped up and that St. Mary’s should also step up recruitment so that students would not feel isolated.

themselves in the same situa t ion as the governm ent d ep a r tm en t . Citing N otre D am e’s financial s i tua t ion , he said th a t the school is spread to o thin and th a t the SLC could provide the proper d irec tion to the adm inis tra t ion and faculty alike.

Concerning secur ity , O ’G o r­man said tha t the s tudents “ should be more careful th em ­selves, and make it clear to the security force tha t they feel the jo b is definitely n o t being d o n e .”

T hree N orth Quad SLC candi­dates gave their reasons for running and views on a wide rangy o f topics yesterday af ter­n o o n in separate te lephone in ter­views w ith this repor ter . Topics discussed in the interviews ranged from hall life and of-cam- pus to ROTC.

Jo h n Hurley , a resident of Breen-Phill ips, is campaigning on w ha t he calls th e university’s need for a “ sense o f creativity .” Hurley says th a t the university has m any ta len ted people in m any fields, bu t only the talents o f specific areas are emphasized. By working th rough the SLC, Hurley said tha t he will w ork to expand th e nu m b er of “ o u tle ts” for this “ crea t iv i ty .” He believes th a t th e m ajor o u t le t in need of expansion is the art d epar tm en t . “ I t ’s tim e for the art d epartm en t to come o u t and show how ta len ted they are. I’m all fo r the University Arts C ouncil .”________

In o the r topics, Hurley recom ­m ended the use o f “ outside con trac to rs” in the dining halls, the laundry and security . He feels th a t this would bring more quali ty a t lower costs. He sees the university as a “ tool for s tudents to use to becom e be tte r h um an beings.” Hurley said he quest ions the role o f the univer­sity in offering the above ser­vices with his in te rp re ta tion in mind.

T om Schoaf, a sophom ore , believes internal changes are needed in the SLC to “ in te ­g ra te” all areas o f the university and p roduce a “ well ro u n d ed ” and “ b e t te r ed u c a ted ” s tuden t body. He said th a t the university “ needs a body o f s tuden ts with th e pow er to set and determine university policy .”

Schoat s ta ted th a t he will work for the following changes in the SLC.

1) A 50% s tu d en t represen ta­tion on th e council. Schoaf feels th a t this would be effective because s tud en t life is the primary concern o f the s tuden t , while faculty and administra tive m em bers have o th e r priorit ies respective to their positions. He added , “ The main burden should fall on the s tud en ts .”

2)Rule changes: (a) Approval o f a proposal by 65% of the council votes, (b ) Flexible p roce­dure rules tha t would eliminate “ tabling” certain issues, (c) A provision for a second meeting

on an im p o rtan t issue within a week o f the first meeting o n the topic, (d) A time limit on the discussion of bills.

In the area of hall life, Schoat called for a two-week testing of all hall staffs by the counseling center. The purpose o f the tests would be to de term ine how well the s taff members can recognize problems am ong hall residents .

Cavanaugh resident, Pete Col­lins, is centering his campaign a round “ individual f reedo m .” He says the SLC should exist only to decide issues affecting the university as a whole, such as ROTC and the f ifteen minute rule.

Collins, like Schoaf, is cam ­paigning for 50% s tu d en t repre­senta tion on the council. In his op in ion , the s tud en t members should make the final decisions a f te r they have listened to and considered the views o f the administrative and faculty m em ­bers.

Collins said tha t he will concern himself with the major issues. He offered brief views on

th e fifteen m inu te rule, minority rec ru i tm en t and ROTC on cam ­pus. “ The fifteen minute rule has to go ,” he said. He feels that it is “ backw ards” because a s tu den t m ust prove his inno­cence. Collins described the R ecru i tm en t Action Program as “ g o od .” He plans to ask for tutorial programs and a greater

recognition by the university of the backgrounds o f m inority s tudents . In regard to the ROTC program, Collins feels th a t it should not be on campus or given academic credit status.

A fo u r th cand ida te , Steve Flavin o f Farley Hall, could not be reached for com m ent.

Rich Roddewig, CAP chairman, plans Endfest

Endfest planned by CAFby Tom Bornholdt . . . . . . . s « . .« t h ,

A flurry o f activities will end the year for the C ontem porary Arts Festival. In a te lephone interview, Richard Roddewig, this y e a r ’s C on tem porary Arts Festival Chairman said, “ Starting on this T hursday , we will have what we call an E ndfes t .” The first event will be a series of an im ated films, including part of Disney’s Fantasia.

Next Saturday , the Lukus Moving Dance C om pany will com e here for three days. Also on Saturday night, film maker Stan Vanderheek will lecture and screen a n u m b er o f his most recent films. Co-sponsored with the S tud en t Union Academic Commission, the C AF will bring Jergin Klaus, multimedia artist w ho will give tw o multimedia events , described by Roddewig as “ more a happening than a formal d em o n s tra t io n” . Klaus

will try to present the recent trends and styles in multimedia art.

On April 30, the C A F will sponsor a night o f blues in Washington Hall. On May I and 2 , the Czech film “ Shop on M ainstreet” will he screened. On May 5 and May 6, the fin id event o f this yea r’s C on tem porary Arts Festival will be the showing of the motion picture , “ Smiles of a Sum m er Night” .

Roddewig expressed a sense of accom plishm ent for this y ea r ’s CAF. “ I t ’s the first year we went year-long. We estab­lished the C on tem porary Arts Festival.” He did feel that there were several problems with the C AF this year. “ We were really ham pered by the lack o f funds voted us by the Sena te .” The s tu den t Senate had voted the C AF $3000 o f their approx .

$22 ,5 00 budget. The C AF had asked for m ore , and the cuts caused th em to cancel a p lanned rock concert am ong o ther things.

Roddewig was also som ew hat critical o f the O bserver's cov­erage o f the C AP: “The O b­server d o esn ’t give the coverage it should . . sh o u ld ’ve reviewed Tom Paine, N acB eth and the Murray Louis Dance C o m p an y ."

Michael Servas, a sophom ore , has been appo in ted head o f the C on tem porary Arts Festival for the nex t year. In an interview, he expressed a desire to build on the accom plishm ents o f this y ea r’s C A F, “ We will carry on the t rad it ion , established this year, of having the C AF year­long .”

A vocation with the first Americansby Larry Overlan

Over the Easter vacation I went to the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Southern South Dakota. Here there are ap p ro x ­imately seven thousand Sioux Indians living. I went to this particular reservation by chance since I met one of the inhabi­tants when Notre Dame had its Indian Conference in January . I am by no means an expert on Indian affairs nor am I an expert on this particular reservation since I spent only four days there.

My hope in writing this is not to burden people with statistics since they d o n ’t convey any em otional meaning o f what they mean to the people experiencing those statistics. What does the statistic tha t the averave ed u ­cational level for all Indians under Federal supervision is five school years mean to you? Does the fact tha t the d ropou t rates for Indians are twice the na­tional average or the suicide rate is tw o to three times the national average mean anything to you? The life span o f Indians averages around forty-five years com pared to the national av­erage o f almost seventy. The average family incom e for Indians is $1 ,500 a year and the u nem ploym ent rate is fifty (50!) percent.

These statistics were known to me before I went to South Dakota bu t they for the most part simply added on to all my statistical knowledge ra ther than making me feel the true plight of the American Indian.

As I was arriving through South Dakota on my way o u t , I noticed how the land was not flat like Iowa and Indiana but was full of small rolling hills for as far as I could see. There were few trees to be seen bu t many herds o f cattle stayed near the roadside. Then I saw my first “ h e rd ” o f buffalo. Perhaps tw en ty all together with their enorm ous heads and horns

reminding me o f movie pictures I had seen.

T here is not much industry in South Dakota and most o f the cities are very small—m aybe in the five to ten thousand range. However, while noticing the litt le industry there was I also noticed how abruptly it ended w hen I neared the reservation. There were only a few gas sta tions, the Bureau of Indian Affairs offices, a hospital and the Tribal Headquarters. This scene was probably duplicated in the rest o f the Reservation, a l though I'm no t sure since I d id n ’t visit every com m u n ity on the reservation. This reservation extends about one hundred and fifty miles east to west and fifty to seventy-five miles no rth to south .

However, I d idn ’t have to go any fur ther than the tow n o f St. Francis where I stayed for those four days to see the problems I had read ab ou t . In tha t small com m u n ity o f abou t seven hundred people there is a school opera ted by the Jesuits which goes from kindergarten to the twelf th grade. This schoo l’s te- chers are thirty to for th per cent lay volunteers w ho spend anyw here from one o r tw o years to five or six years w ithou t pay except for some spending money . The rest o f the teachers are Jesuit priests or Franciscan nuns.

The school has ab ou t three hundred s tudents o f w hom abou t half live in dorm itories at the school. The reasons for this are that many o f these children com e from broken hom es or have no homes. Also some live too far away to com m u te and therefore are separated from their homes. Indeed, the s i tua­tion is be tte r fo r many of these children at the school since there is adequate food, clothing and shelter there. So for the sake of the ch ild ren’s physical good many are living away from home. This is happening now.

Indian families are being split u p - n o t actually by law but by econom ic necessity.

There is no strong family bond for many if n o t most o f these children because of the economic s truc ture I spoke of earlier. The Indians are no t unique in having a strong family or tribe relationship. Every race has been psychologically be tte r when their families remained intact. This is one o f the main goals of th e Black m ovem ent t o d a y - t o have pride in their family and their race.

Now why are many of these families b roken and econom i­cally ( i f n o t physically) starving? The answer is actually quite s im p le - th e re are no jobs. Only tem porary jobs are found for the most part and these are when the Bureau o f Indian Affairs decides to build som ething- a few small houses etc. These jobs are meaningless to the Sioux since they know they are only tem porary and will no t give them security . For the most part Ihese pay checks are im m ed ­iately spen t on e ither bare necessities or liquor. Again this is no t untypical of any group of people (o r individual for that* m atter ) when they get their first real pay check in m onths. (The barrooms were full when many of the recipients o f New Deal legislation received their first checks).

Perhaps the m ost dismaying thing tha t I saw was the difference in a t t i tu des betw een the younger Sioux (5-1 1) and the older children (11-17). In the younger grades the children were happ y , smiling and very talkative. The main request I had from these children was for me to swing them around by their

nanus. I dm mis iui as m ug as i could until dizziness set in and it was I asking them to help me stand up. I’m rem inded of R obert K ennedy who always rem arked how full o f life the ch ild ren ’s faces were in the ghettos of L A. and New York and elsewhere.

When I visited the high school classes 1 saw the change th a t had taken place in those faces. Of course many had already d ropped out bu t those who were left were uncom m unicat ive , w ithou t much am bition and generally frustra ted . They knew by now w hat their role in society would be or b e t te r ye t they knew w hat roles in society they would never be. F o r th em school, educat ion , religion, tr ibal life, the surrounding coun try and life became drastically less im portan t . This trend continues as they grow older and find ou t h ow impossible life really is and how much people despise the “ Red m an” .

There are many economical, political, social, educational etc. problems of the Sioux and all Indians. However, all o f those statistics come to life in the faces o f those children. Think a b o u t it for a while and try to rem em ber when y ou began to explore the world around you. Perhaps some doors were closed to yo u , bu t how many? Surely not all o f them. Y ou and I could look at people and find goals and ideas w orth striving for and then we were able to strive.

The sys tem created by the United S ta te s - i t s gov’t and its people - closes all those doors around them and destroys all the people around them w hom they love and respect. 1 am not going to give you a list of proposals I think should be enacted . I d o n ’t

know enough facts and I h aven’t seen enough reservations to u nders tand all the problems. 1 do know people are being ruined and i t ’s no t their fault.

I t ’s y o u r fault, my fault and everybody else’s fault in the United States. L e t’s s top kidding ourselves by practicing “ benign neglect” . If you can now en ­vision an Indian before you , think of him this way: “ He is sad to be himself and is staring at the primitive landscape re­minding him of broken treaties and broken hearts .”

The SLC, E lections for student representatives to the Student Life Council will take place this Thursday. M ost Candidates began their bid for the o ffice over the w eek by distributing literature and cam paigning the halls. With hall e lection s going on there is a tendency am ong students inundated by all the literature to take the cam paigns lightly or to ignore voting. We hope that this does not b ecom e the case.

The SLC can play an im portant role in bringing about change in student life at the university. S ince its in ception tw o years ago it has brought about the change o f m any rules that were archaic and were not attuned to the needs o f the N otre Dame students.S ignificant changes alone were m ade in the areas o f hall life as the rules on drinking and visitation hours by w om en were liberalized.

First steps were taking tow ards im plem enting the con cep t o f Hall au ton om y. A lthough the Council passed a parietal hour resolution w hich w ould have m ade that concept a ^ n c •reality the Trustees did not approve it. SLC m em bers are needed w ho will continue to G u y D eb c p i O push to see that idea o f students governing their ow n lives becom es a reality,

m en o f quality are found to fill those jobs.For these reasons it is im portant that students seriously consider the literature and

statem ents by current candidates for SLC and elect representatives w ho will work to see that the SLC lives up to its potentia l.

T h a t ’s like finding ou t what intercourse feels like af te r reading a boo k on Catholic marriage. We could say a little a bo u t w hat the acid scene is like bu t we th ink y o u ’d ra ther listen to the F ort Lauderdale police. I should tell yo u o f the astonishing increase in suicide, hom icide , and accidents o n (oh , and off) cam pus which according to this unquest iona lbe hypothes is parallels the increase in drug use here.

We’re praying fo r you , glen; w e’re praying tha t y o u r paternal hum anism will change in to som eth ing ra ther m ore viable, ra th e r less rhetorical. T here are so many people writing w ho k now nothing a b o u t acid: som eth ing there is in journalism which abhors a blank space, and would scribble vacuities to efface the silence.

We gave up acid 2 years ago but y o u r article makes me want to try again. And the nex t time y o u see a fr iend with sunglasses, a smile and anti-social behavior th ro w him in jail fo r 5 years and save him from him self and re m em ber the smile was d e c e p t iv e -h e wasn’t really happy .

Pro test ignorance, d rop one for gipper.

Mr. W elchman and Mr. C rum p seem to have c o m m itte d the grave zrror o f fa iling to closely read an article which they have chosen to criticize. A t no tim e d id I s ta te tha t the portions o f the F ort Lauderdale Police report which I p r in ted were m y ow n views on the use o f LSD .

With the whole world watching Apollo 13 splashed dow n safely in the Pacific on Friday. The milk run tu rned space age dram a shook this usually complacen t world. F o r three and one half days the fears o f Lovell, Haise and Swigert became every m a n ’s; concern fo r their safe re tu rn became every m an ’s venture, w ith a seat reserved for everyone at the Manned Space Craft Center in living color.

Living—th a t was the concern , w asn’t it? How to get th ree men, off to the m o o n in m an k ind ’s name, back safely to earth . Fo r the supersti t ious—a field day. Jus t the names o f th e space craft were enough to set them o f f - t h e Odyssey and the Aquarius. T hen there were all the 13’s. The mission n um ber itself; plus th e th ir teen letters in the as tronauts first names: James, F red , Jo h n ; then th e accident on M onday th e 13; and the som ew hat superfluous fact th a t the landing to o k place a litt le after 13 hun d red hours on Friday.

But the dram a was destined to appeal to a d ifferent typ e of m in d —the general mind o f m ankind th a t f lu tte rs when a new king or Pope is crow ned , a president e lected, or a president assassinated. The mind th a t marvels when a Lindberg flys over an ocean or a Titanic sinks bu t th en can sit back half passive while a child w ith a b loated s tom ach starves in Biafra and one hund red bodies o f dead Vietnam ese float silently dow n a river bundled in groups o f five and ten.

People streamed to the churches on Tuesday morning. Congress asked th a t tim e be spen t in prayer at 9 p.m. th a t night while the th ree men made the crucial engine burn on the side o f the m oo n tha t the people w ho were doing the praying never get to see. Meanwhile the c o m m e n ta to r on ABC related Congress’ reques t to th e American people , th en a second later the s ta tion switched to th e Movie o f the Week to keep them all f rom thinking abou t w hat th a t reques t really meant.

Isn’t it funny the way people flock to prayer w hen situa t ions get really tense? No one calls for an h o u r o f prayer for the sake o f a safe tr ip before m ankind starts ou t on his ventures to be m aster o f his env ironm ent ahxd his fate. No w onder the N otre Dame s tu den t watching the recovery on F riday , covered his head w ith his baseball glove and smirked an “ oh n o ” when the chaplain on the I wo Jima offered a p rayer o f thanksgiving for the safe recovery. Emergency-only re l ig ion -C ou ld tha t be one o f the hypocrasies tha t the young world is talking about?

O ut in Hawaii, the President gave the three men and the ground crew the Medal o f F reedo m and s tated th a t the flight wasn’t a failure since it united the hearts of all m ankind. Across the s treet pickets m arched, their signs reading: “ Poor people worry abou t astronauts . Who worries ab ou t poo r peop le?”

But the world did unite. Nations o f Africa and Asia which usually d o n ’t trus t American planes granted permission for th em to fly over their territories when there was quest ion abou t w hether the landing might be in the Indian Ocean. C om m unicat ions ne tw orks o f ally and enemy alike tha t were on frequencies close to tha t o f Apollo offered to shut dow n so as n o t to interfere with com m unicat ions . The Russians even volunteered to help with the recovery. The C humikan, a Soviet Missile In s tru m en ta t io n Ship, which apparen tly had originally been d ispatched to spy on the whole show , suddenly becam e a t tun ed to the possibility o f saving th ree hum an lives.

One has to w onder why such concern can no t be sustained b eyond im m ediate crises. If men can work together for three days to save three lives, if they have the knowledge to p u t th em up there and on the m oon in the first place, y o u ’d th ink they could figure ou t how to keep children around the world from starving or could s top all those stupid wars. Maybe we should pu t the whole show on television. If the camera were kep t tuned in on all the bodies floating dow n the rivers m aybe people would get angry a b o u t missing th e Tuesday night movie and do something.

Ice Capades: Overdoing it in a big wayby Dave Stauffer

Extravagance tends to overshadow quali ty , when quali ty is present. Extrava­gance can also cover up a lack o f quali ty . A certain degree o f extravagance is often qu ite appropr ia te . For exam ple, wed­dings. s ta te dinners, and Broadway musicals generally employ extravagance for effect.

T he 3 0 th Anniversary E d ition o f Ice Capades which appeared at the Convo last week, was extravagant to the point of being literally frightening. Time and again giant phalanxes o f gaudily costum ed skaters came grating down the ice tow ard the wide-eyed and unarm ed spectators, accom panied by the Ice Capades Orches­tra (o f ab ou t thirty members), noisy sound effects, and at least eight dancing spotlights. It was actually not at all unlike a nightmare in which you are being pursued by a slowly advancing army of ten-foot tall aliens but you are for some reason unable to run from them.

Because o f this largely unnecessary extravagance, it was qu ite difficult to judge the presence or absence o f quality. With many o f the performers it was easy to assume that ability exis ted, based on past credentials, such as O lympic appear­ances and various national and world championships. The trouble was that these featured stars are no longer competit ive ice skaters, bu t ra ther profes­sional entertainers. Recognized ability in the former does not make one necessarily an expert as the la t ter , and tha t was the biggest p roblem with the Ice Capades.

If I were asked to make up an obvious

The pa gentry! The show! An icy version o f the June Taylor Dancers! More hoop de do than the Coronation o f Elizabeth the second! What a bore!

and descriptive name for the enterprise the a fo rem en tioned extravagancies, n o r is which presents the Ice Capades, it would it difficult to imagine the use o f devices probably be som eth ing like ‘M etrom edia .’ o f com m unica t ion o th e r than live sight In this word it is no t difficult to imagine and live and recorded sound. Hence the

extensive use o f film. F ro m the grand opening o f the show (“ Skate In " ) to the imposing finale, color film screened against an enorm ous backdrop provided smiling in t roduc t ions o f the performers, background in form ation on the co m p os­ing o f R h apsody fo r Piano and Ice, as well as excit ing, action-packed lead-ins for num bers like the cleverf?) Mission: Im probable. By the way, Ice Capades is ow ned and opera ted by none o th e r than M etromedia, o u t of H ollyw ood, Califor­nia.

1 suppose o ne mistake made by the p ro m o tio n d ep a r tm en t o f the Ice Capades is tha t it is billed as “ en te r ta in m en t for the entire fam ily.” It should actually be labeled as e n te r ta inm en t for anyone over for ty , preferable female, and preferably a senior cit izen. I t ’s no t tha t the taste or in tegrity o f this g roup o f people should be ques t ioned , bu t ra th e r tha t i t ’s the typ e o f thing g randm others really go for, b u t everyone else si ts a round and tolerates while feigning excited appreci­ation .

T h ro ug ho u t the program I glanced frequently at a boy o f a b o u t six years. He

s to od and smiled during the initial perform ance o f the clowns (F redd ie “ The Bouncing Ball” Trenkler) , bu t was busy eating popcorn o ff th e floor when they appeared during the second half. A climactic finale, w ith color and noise, would probably have regained the young­s te r ’s a t ten t io n . But because noise and color was constan t th ro u g h o u t the show, it was d ifficult to regain an y o n e ’s a t ten t ion .

A short story byGene Molineili

A review by

Mike Chapin Patriotism and Ictus

All things die at least one time

It was tragic. He had always been a sickly litt le boy, and no one was surprisec. when he died; b u t he was so very young. It was tragic.

Everyone felt the death b u t no one more than the dead b o y ’s friend, Bobby. When the anno un cem en t was made to the class, Bobby actually b roke dow n and cried; and when the arrangements had been made for the funeral, it was little Bobby who, with tears in his eyes, had volunteered to serve the funeral Mass.

The day of the Mass was bright and sunn y , and since the class had been let ou t tha t day for the funeral there was more than the usual n um ber o f children outside playing. Bobby could see th em playing from his house. He could hear them calling and laughing on the day of the funeral and it made him mad. He was n o t going to go o u t and play on a day when everyone should be sad; even his m othe r had said how awfully disrespectful it was to the dead and all.

Yet there they were, having fun only a couple o f hours before the funeral. And there , right in the middle, was Scott Vacari. Sco tt was always doing things like tha t ; he would fool around in class and he though t he was really great in everything. Bobby should have know n tha t Sco tt , o f all people, would be ou t there. B ob by ’s m other had said it was disrespectful and disgusting. And Scott was most disgusting of all.

B ob by ’s m o th e r called h im to get ready and as he left the window he made up his mind that som ehow he would teach them all a lesson. He w o u ld n ’t cause a fight because fighting is the sissy’s way o u t — Sister Mary Joseph had told him th a t ; bu t he would think o f something.

And think he d id — all th rough the Mass. He did no t move o r sway like the o ther lesser a ltar boys. It disgusted h im to see them standing there shifting their weight from one foot to an o the r and picking their noses. They were as bad as Scott . Hp s tood there perfectly still, thinking how he could show th em all jus t how disgusting they were.

The funeral would be long past when Bobby could do so, and he would n o t let the o p p o r tu n i ty pass him by.

Scott was doing tr icks on his bike on a street near B o b b y ’s and a car was coming up behind him. Bobby did not yell, the car whizzed past Sco tt s tartling him. Scott swerved off balance, reached for his handlebars, missed and fell headlong from his bike. Bobby could no t have asked for more.

He did no t change his pace. Scott was getting what he deserved and it felt good tha t the o th e r had been hurt . He did no t care tha t the o the r was in pain; he thought only o f the dead who had been wronged. He was unm oved by the figure sitt ing in the s treet trying to hold back his tears while his smudged blackened hands clutched at red bloodied knees tha t appeared ou t o f a to rn pan ts leg. B ob by ’s face was set in an expression which too k all the hate his body could muster, and he passed on. And, hu rt a second time, Sco tt watched him go.

He had n o t gone far when he passed S c o t t ’s hom e, and Mrs. Vacari jus t happened to see him walk by. “ Oh lo o k ,” she said to her coffee-drinking companion , “ th e re ’s li tt le R obert Miller, S c o t t ’s friend. H e’s such a sweet b oy . . . Why, yo u should have seen him last week serving their poor fr iend’s funeral. He was ju s t marvelous standing there so straight and still and ser ious- like a litt le saint. I t ’s really wonderful how children can be so h o lv .”

The th ird and latest issue o f Ic tu s has a new dimension: readability . Prin ted for the first t im e on glossy paper, only tw o o f th e six articles could be considered “ heavy” essays, while th e o thers are short stories and poems. Also, the photographs and ar tw ork for this issue are un m atched by any publication to com e ou t o f N otre Dame this year.

team m ate Rick Libowitz will be in Boston making final prepara tions for M o nd ay ’s M arathon. It was with great unhappiness th a t I decided Saturday tha t I could n o t accom pany him on his heroic venture ; however, injuries precluded my partic ipation in the race. While practicing F riday, I fell on my hip. My wallet cushioned the fall, bu t there was no th ing in it . Th |s proved to be an im p o r tan t factor in my decision n o t to make the trip.

“ At this time, 1 would like to ann ou nce the nex t major event on our spring schedule. We will be sponsoring, on the weekend o f April 24 th rough 26, the first Annual Corby Street Striders Poobah Athletic Festival. This Festival will consist o f three events—a basketball game, a softball game, and a football g a m e - b e tw e e n a team of graduating seniors from S tu d en t G overnm ent and S tu d en t Union, and a team made up o f new players and returning veterans from these tw o organizations.

L ibow itz is scheduled to run in M onday’s Boston’Marathon.

som e o f o u r com placen t “ values and c o m m itm e n ts” at N o tre Dame. The tone for the whole magazine, th a t we must no t be afraid to th ink and to quest ion the “ givens” o f o u r socie ty , is capsulized in the first article. T he shor t s to ry -poem is a fantasy a b o u t a man w ho finally comes to discover the meaning of life a f te r he finds “ freedom from the o th e r m e n ’s ju d g ­m ents , and their opin ions even more pe t ty , and also freed om from the ir d o ’s and d o n ’ts , and freed om from their m o n e y .”

Ic tu s gives the reader a new view o f society , its war, its educa t ion , and its goals. Mark T w a in ’s “ War P rayer” and George William’s “ Dinks in M em oriam ” p o in t ou t the realities o f war: th e blood, the pain, the grief, the hunger, and the b roken spirits. Twain tries to show how people hide these horrors by praying to the “ God o f Battles” to h e lp . th em “ win for the flag” in the “ field o f h o n o r .”

O ur sacred N otre Dame educat ion comes in to quest ion in Mario Corrad i’s “ Where are My Grades? Where are My G rades?” Corradi feels th a t American ed uca t ion ’s p r im ary func t ion has warped in to tu rn i r? o u t people w ho only produce in society . T hey have no concern for finding “ the responsible co m m itm en t t o the realization of the Self which we inherited by b i r th .”

Corrad i’s p o in t is shockingly d e m o n ­stra ted in a shor t story, by Mike Fallon. Actually , reading F a l lon ’s “ Cry o f the T o rre n ts” is a pleasurable experience because one identif ies with J o h n , the main character., in almost every way. The s to ry is powerful at the end w hen one finds th a t Jo h n , because o f his college environm en t, is a shallow person. O ne can n o t help b u t in trospect a b o u t his own developm ent at N otre Dame.

Michael F een ey ’s p oem “ Road Im pressions Near Home O verlife looking" criticizes this lack o f dep th and over­emphasis on p rodu c t ion o f ou r society. He contrasts o u r rural heritage of “ golden cornfie lds" , red sunsets, and log cabins with Las Vegas, T V. antennas, Apollo 12, and Jo h n Wayne movies.

Ictus, then , brings reality to us; a com placen t N otre D ame, a complacen t America. And it brings reality in such a way th a t i t ’s impossible to ignore.

Zap pal a said th a t Mr. Brinkley, head o f the D epart­m e n t , has been placed in a d ilem m a by the U niversity’s refusal to act on his requests for funds outside a fifteen per cent increase for n e x t year.

“ We felt som eth ing drastic m us t be done to focus a tten t ion on the p rob lem ,” said Zappala. “ Mr. Brinkley could h u r t e ither the majors or the non-majors . He really d id n ’t have m uch o f a choice.

“ T he responsibility for th is ,” c on tinued Zappala, “ lies no t with th e G overnm ent D epart­m ent , b u t with the appro ­

priation of funds. It is this tha t the G overnm ent D epartm en t is p ro tes ting .”

Regarding the fifteen per cent increase in nex t y ea r ’s budget, he said, “ This only begins to m eet the problem. We have som eth ing more serious than one departm en t . The Arts and Letters school is n o t getting the m oney they should be .”

The p rod uc t io n , a musical dram a, is scheduled to run the first tw o weekends o f May in O ’Laughlin A uditor ium at St. M ary’s.

The G ood W oman, Shen-Te, will be played by_Anne Pa t te r ­son, m ost recently seen as Juliet in the recent p rodu c t io n o f “ R om eo and Ju l ie t .” Miss Pa t­terson will also appear as Shui- Ta, the G ood W om an’s cousin. Miss P a tte rson is a jun io r theatre major at St. M ary’s, and is also a m em ber o f the National Travel- ingPlayers . ____

Yang Sun, the lover, will be played by sop ho m ore Mark G enero , who last appeared as T yb a lt in “ R om eo and Ju l ie t .” Wong, th e water-seller, will be p layed by jun io r Jam es Boland w ho was Pantalone in “ The Servant o f Two Masters” recen t­ly p resented in the Little Thea­tre. O thers in the cast include William O ’Reilly, who portrayed King Pellinore in last May’s “ C am elo t” ; Missy Sm ith , whose last ND/SMC T hea tre role was The Nurse in “ The Death of Bessie S m i th ,” and Paule tte P e tre t t i o f the National Travel­ing Players.

The p roduc t ion is under the

d irection of Roger L. Kenvin, chairman of the speech and dram a departm en t . In addit ion to directing the p rod uc t ion , Dr. Kenvin has also com posed the music for this staging. Stage design and technical direction

are by William T. Byrd Jr ., with costuming by Jane Shanabarger. P roduc tion dates for “T he G ood Woman of S e tzu an” are May 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 in O ’Laughlin A uditorium.

He said, “ T h e re ’s no doubt th a t som eth ing must be done a b o u t this. We’re paying for the same education as a Math or Engineering major b u t w e’re not getting i t .”

Zappala asked those present to sign a peti t ion asking the A dm inistra tion for more money, and asked the s tuden ts to “ talk it up am ong their fr iends.” He said tha t perhaps som ething could be done by nex t year, bu t he d o u b ted it.

At this po in t , the possibility o f a b o y co tt o f classes was b rough t up by one of those in a ttendance .

Zappala said, “ 1 th ink Mr. Brinkley has taken as dram atic a gesture as he is willing to take at this t im e .” But he said he was

willing to consider this if s tuden t su pp o r t did n o t materialize soon. The week before the May 1 Board of Trustees meeting was considered a most likely date

With respect to the small tu rn o u t , Zappala was “ dis­ap p o in te d ” . He said, “ We were hoping to get a response o u t of the adm inis tra t ion and s tudents , but apparen tly we haven’t y e t . ”

All his efforts , Zappala said, would be worhless, unless the s tu den ts concerned with the educational process at Notre Dame would becom e in terested in the problem , no t only in the G overnm ent D epartm en t where it was so critical a problem, but in the whole College o f Arts and Letters.

This s i tuation, because o f its obvious “ ex te rna l” considera­tions (i.e., N otre D am e’s rela­tionship to th e off-campus co m ­mercial-industrial in terests, the ob tain ing of fu tu re gifts to the University being jeopard ized by adverse publicity , e tc.) andequally obvious “ in te rna l” consi­derations (i.e., the relation o f a Christian co m m u n ity to thedesires o f its m ajority andm inori ty mem bers , the s ta tus and limits o f an individual’s activit ies, e tc.) would call upon b o th th e C hancellor and the President to a t t e m p t to calm all in terest groups and act in a way th a t would befit a Chrisitan co m m u n ity . Balancing the various influences is difficult indeed. But by having menaware o f the tw o broad sets of in terests at stake in this type of si tua t ion a resolution th rough an interplay o f considerations would be possible.

This then is the major advan­tage to this p roposed revision: it heightens the prospect o f fulfill­ing the m ajor obligations o f this University. And it does this by making the administrative s truc­tu re m ore conducive to com ­munity by allowing for a m ean­ingful dialogue at the highest level o f University decision m a k ­ing.

A fu r th e r advantage, and one which must no t be treated

lightly, is the p ro tec t io n o f the physical well-being o f the Uni­versity’s to p office holders. Those men who hold the post of President o f ten find their health destroyed by the t rem endous energy required by their posi­tions. What we suggest should significantly lighten the burden o f the cu rren t President, by making it possible for a division o f the work load. Not only would this be a more hum ane s truc ture , bu t it would allow m any men to serve longer in the positions they are qualified to fill.

Before a sum m ary conclusion we should turn to the question o f feasibility. Will this new s t ruc tu re work?

As far as we know , no such division ever has been tried by an American university. Though the titles Chancellor and Presi­den t f requently are applied to a d m in is t r a to r s at various schools, the responsibili ties and functions seem quite different from those envisioned here. A list o f some th irty schools tha t have b o th a Chancellor and President, include Brown, the University o f California, Indiana

City University o f New York. However, we feel tha t the only way to be certain if this plan will work is to give it a short term trial.

As we have ou tl ined the Chancellor-President s t ruc tu re we can find no decisive problem which would bar its im p lem en ta ­tion. As always the major problem in any structura l a rrangement is finding men to fill the positions. Here, however, we are en ter ing a new realm of discussion: the quest ion o f per­son and personality of the possible office holders. Certain problems refuse to appear on the drafting board , and these would have to be met in the everyday practice o f this new structure .

It has been suggested tha t one m ajor drawback to the new s truc ture would be seen in the C hancellor’s “ inability to secure investments in the University, for he would no t really be the University’s leader.” This pos­sible problem would seem to resolve itself (a t least theore tica l­ly) by recalling tha t most d o n a ­tions are given to the University and no t d irectly to its leader. And secondly , there is a basic mis-understanding if one sees the Chancellor as any th ing less tha t the University’s chief appoin ted administrative officer, fo r this is what Chancellor means.

We suspect there are consid­erations which we have failed to raise thus far in o u r discussions. We would hop e th a t you would share with us the problems which you see as unanswered in this series o f artic les so tha t we might be able to com e to know m ore o f the alternatives to unders tanding and improving the struc ture o f N otre Dame.

s tu d en t housing division o f the off-campus office, Healy said tha t the “ hassle” he had trying to move off-campus was the reason for his candidacy. While on the SLC he hoped to give the off-campus s tuden t good rep­resentation. A major goal he said, “ would be to funnel a t tem p ts to get o f f campus, e liminating much red tape .” He also felt tha t “ the s tudents living o f f campus now should go th rough the OC office more than t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n .” He co n tend s tha t the people in the OC office know more abou t off-campus problems and situa­tions than the administra tion does. This makes the OC office more qualified to handle the OC s tu d en t than the regular univer­sity facilities.

Healy also agrees with the new s truc tures proposed by SBP-elect Dave Krashna. He would like to see the s treng then­ing of the Hall Life Board with the addit ion o f two students.

If there is a single theme running through the campaigns o f south quad candidates for S tud en t Life Council, it is dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction with s tuden t life and, in particu­

lar, dissatisfaction with the pre­sent SLC.

Mark Z im m erm an, for exam ­ple, is concerned with the plight o f the s tudent in SLC: “ S tuden t representatives come up against respected people (from the fac­ulty and Board o f Trustees), bu t the s tuden ts themselves are not respected. I t ’s hard no t to be factionalized .”

T o com bat the divisive ten ­dencies inheren t in this year’s SLC, Z im m erm an proposes a weekend get-together at which the m em bers o f the SLC could get to know each o th e r fairly well.

A no th e r dissatisfied candidate is Chris O ttenw eller , who com ­plains especially of the lack of s tu d en t pow er exerted through the SLC.

O ttenw eller indicates tha t the parietal ruling by the Board of Trustees provides an example of infringem ent upon s tu d en t pow ­er. He adds, “ pressures should definitely be applied on the adm inis tra tion . There are many ways o f doing this. As a beginning, the halls halls should declare their ow n a u to n o m y .”

Ottenw eller notes tha t the SLC should be the organ by which s tudents partic ipate in

Authorities made no move to arrest the fo rm er Cornell chap- lin, apparently to avoid any trouble tha t might have devel­oped among the more than 10,000 persons a ttend ing the

meetsin the A tkinson Hotel.

Labelling courts as “ legisla­tive, judicial and executive a u t h o r i t i e s since 1954,” Ruckleshaus accused the ju d i­ciary for the airport sta lem ate.

“ Each judge th inks he has the so lu tion to the problem and proposes to announce his p ro ­grams to resolve the str ike ,” he complained.

Besides analyzing the airport s i tuation, Ruckleshaus also co n ­sidered the underprivileged, “ a weak spot in the N ixon adm ini­s t ra tion .” “ The adm inis tra t ion goals are to provide an equal start for all, but no t to guarantee an equal finish,” he revealed. “ This leaves p len ty o f room for individual initiative.”

“ I am pleased with the o u t ­com e o f S a tu rd a y ’s events ,” claimed Jo h n Gaither, president o f ND-SMC’s Republican Club. The si tua t ion had the makings of po tentia l disaster for college Republicans in Indiana. We did o u r thing, however, and showed H artke was a je rk .”

ville Nine, failed to surrender April 9 to U.S. marshals to begin a three-year sentence for des­troying draf t records at Catons- ville, Md., with hom e-m ade napalm in 1968.

Berrigan s tayed a t the rally less than three hours , told the crow d, “ the war must s top h ere ,” and th a t he would “ be foolish to go to ja i l .” He was then spirited aw ay in a blue panel truck.

T h ro u g h o u t the weekend, there was a nearly continuous schedule o f anti-war speakers and en te r ta in m e n t by per­formers identif ied with the peace movem ent.

Dr. H ow ard Levy, an Army d o c to r w ho refused to train Special Forces troops at F t. Jackson , S.C., said President Nixon would not only be the first President to lose a war but also “ the first President to lose an A rm y .”

David Dellinger, one o f the “ Chicago Seven” conspiracy trial defendants , said the Berrigan b ro thers had done more for the cause o f peace and freedom than the “ Chicago Seven.”

Candidate Jo h n Mateja’s dis­sa tisfaction with the present SLC is relatively basic. A cco rd ­ing to his campaign manager Fred Guiffrida, “ T he SLC this year dem ons tra tes an excess of rhe toric bu t lack o f a c t io n .”

Mateja stresses th a t the trivia which is now th row n a rou nd in the SLC m ust be replaced by concre te a c t io n -p ro g re s s tow ard co=educa tion and im provem ents in security , for exam ple.

Daniel and his Jo seph ite priest b ro th e r Philip, bo th Syracuse natives, have been active against the war for several years.

Collegiate GOPRepresenting th ir teen states

from N orth Dakota to O klaho­ma, Collegiate Republicans, in­cluding 9 representatives from N otre Dame and St. M ary’s, convened last weekend in In­dianapolis to elect Midwest F ed­eration officers and propose resolutions.

These objectives, however, proved secondary during the weekend to a confron ta t ion that the delegates had with su p p o r t­ers o f Sen. Vance H artke (D), Ind iana’s senior senator, over the use of the m ote l’s main ball­room.

According to a con trac t with the motel, the Republicans had the use of the roo m for all w eekend events including a speech by Gov. Edgar A. Whit­com b (R ), caucuses, elections, a breakfast, and resolution com ­mittee meetings.

When the group tried to enter the room Sat. morning, they were confron ted with a delega­tion of Hartke supporters ac­com panied by the hote l manage­ment, who barred the s tudents from entering it.

“ A week ago the m anagement o f the Lincoln called to ask me a favor,” explained Ronald Culp, Ind. Federation president. “ Would you consider moving to some o ther location for your Saturday meeting? We have the o pp o r tu n i ty to book a luncheon.

Little did we know this lun­cheon was Mr. H ar tke ’s an ­n ouncem ent party .”

F rom the GOP crow d, Robert E dgeworth , current Federa t ion president, ann ounced an alter­nate plan and that legal action would be taken against the motel.

With the permission o f Ind ian ­apolis’s Mayor Lugar, delegates would peacefully march to the sta te capitol a few blocks away and reconvene on the capito l’s steps. There, they would elect

officers.At the capitol, they chose

Paul A squith, a Michigan State senior, as their new president. N otre Dame delegates also parti­c ipated in the region V elections.

In an o th e r surprise move at t h e convention , delegates adjourned the resolution com ­mittee before a single resolution could be considered.

Submission o f only ultra- conservative resolutions by a small bloc o f delegates urging for instance abolition o f federal income tax, public schools, the post office sys tem , social securi­ty and medicare p rom pted this move.

Closing the convention , Wil­liam Ruckleshaus, assistant U.S. a t to rn ey general and prosecu tor o f air traffic co n tro l le rs , in Washington, spoke at a banquet

Jun io r r ight-hander Ron Schm itz b lanked Western Michi­gan University on seven hits to enable the Fighting Irish baseball team to win their hom e opener 1 —0 and salvage a split of their tw o game hom e and ho m e series last weekend with the Broncos. Western Michigan w on the first game o f the set by a 5-4 coun t Friday in Kalamazoo.

T he Irish tallied their only run o f S a tu rd ay ’s co n tes t on a menta l miscue by the Broncos in the first inning. Rob V otier o p ened the inning by beating o u t a drag b u n t for a single. Nick Scarpelli reached safely when the Bronco sh o r ts to p b o o te d his rou t ine grounder . Jo e Keenan bea t o u t a b u n t dow n the th ird base line to fill the bases with n o outs . Ir ish c leanup h i t te r Rich Lucke followed Keenan to the p late and rapped a sharp g round­er to th ird base. Bronco third sacker J im Mayer hand led the ball easily and s tepped on third

for a force o u t , then fired to ho m e plate. Bronco ca tcherRoger Cook then made themistake tha t eventually costWestern Michigan the ball game. C ook , forgetting th a t the force play at the plate had beenremoved when Mayer s tepped on th ird , did n o t tag V otier coming ho m e and only s tepped on the p late before firing to first in a t t e m p t to nail Lucke. V otier was, of course, ruled safe at hom e and, a f ter an errant Bronco th row in the ensuing ac tion , the Irish had a run in anch men on second and third w i th ' one out.

Bronco hurler Jim Sanford w orked o u t of the jam however by retiring Phil Krill on a pop up and fanning Chuck Horan.

Schm itz and Sanford batt led on even terms th ro ug ho u t the final eight innings, n e i th e r hurler allowing a run. The Broncos had men in scoring in position in the fif th , sixth, eighth, and n in th innings bu t each time Schmitz rose to the occassion and retired th e side w itho u t mishap.

Ara shiftsT here were a n u m b e r of

changes made this week in the football te am ’s lineup. In Sat­u rd a y ’s scrimmage, Gary Kos, w ho had been playing tight end, was switched back to his original spot o f guard.

This was far from being the only change, however. Joh n Cieszkowski, th e highly tou ted running back o f a year ago, has m anned this position once again a f te r a short s t in t at the defensive end position. “ Cisco” ran with b o th the first and second teams in the w orkou t.

Phil G ustafson has moved up in to a starting b e r th at tackle replacing George Rankin who was at tha t spot one week ago. G ustafson teams with Jo h n D am peer to give the Irish suffi­c ien t size b u t since b o th are sophs who saw limited action last season, their experience is minimal.

Replacing Kos a t tight end was J im O ’Malley, a sophom ore .

O ’Malley hails f rom Youngs­tow n , Ohio.

Larry Parker, a freshman who was expec ted to give dep th s trength to th e ND running game tore some ligaments earlier in the week and he will undergo surgery im mediately . Parker’s in jury added in the decision to move Cieszkowski back to a running back position.

The Irish worked a litt le more with their passing game as Joe Theism an clicked with T om G atew ood and his unders tudy Willie Tow nsend and he looked good in this game condit ion practice. Bill E t te r ran the team behind Theisman.

S tandou ts on defense were Tim Kelly and Rich T hom ann . Both o f these are linebackers and it seemed as though they were in on every tackle.

There are three weeks rem ain­ing in spring drills before the Blue-Gold Gam e on May 9.

Sanford completely handcuffed the Irish after the first frame, surrendering jus t one h it the rem ainder of the way. That safety , a leadoff single in the seventh inning by Lucke started the only o th e r Irish uprising in the game. An error and a walk loaded the sacks for the Irish with one away bu t Sanford induced Bill Schoen to h it in to a double play to kill the threat.

In F r id a y ’s game the Irish drop ped a 5-4 decision when, af ter loading the bases with no one ou t in the n in th inning, they failed to score.

The Irish ju m p e d in to an early lead a t Kalamazoo by scoring three runs in the th ird inntng. Rob V otier drove in a pair of runs with a single and Rich L u cke’s double b rough t hom e the th ird tally.

The Broncos bounced right back in their ha lf o f the third though and, aided by a pair of Irish errors, they rapped four h its good for four runs o ff N otre Dame s ta r te r and loser Mike K arkut.

A single and an ND error gave the Broncos a 5-3 lead after seven innings b u t the Irish closed the gap to 5-4 when L u cke’s

Irish eyes were finally smiling on the d iam ond. N otre Dame won its first ho m e game after going 1-10 on the road. Maybe h om e sweet h om e will get a respectable record for ND in the weeks to come.

The Irish track team, along with squads from th i r ty o ther schools, com peted last Saturday at Colum bus Ohio in the Ohio State Relays. S a tu rd ay ’s per­form ance was very encouraging for the team, and with the com pet i t ion gett ing keener as the season progresses, this meet was also an im p ortan t confi­dence builder.

The meet featured primarily relay and field events with only a few individual events. N otre Dame en tered three relay teams and came away with a first and tw o seconds. The Irish Two Mile Relay Team cap tured their event easily in a meet record time of 7:35 .0 . T om G ilhooly, Vince Ambrico , Mike McCann, and Rich W ohlhutter set the record and established themselves as the team to beat for the rest o f the season. In the Shutt le Hurdle Relay the N.D. foursom e of Pat Mullaley, Tom McMannon, Dave Stickler, and Jo e Utz placed second. Their 58.9 was just narrowly be tte red by an Ohio State en try tha t was t imed in 58.5. The o the r second place was taken by the Distance Medley team who were also narrowly b e a te n - th i s time by Pit tsburgh. F or the Irish, Rick

o u t tw o seasons with playoffs. In the National Basketball Association there appears to be tw o finalists emerging in New York and Los Angeles. The Knicks too k the Milwaukee Bucks in to cam p 117-112. The New Yorkers hold a 3-1 advan­tage over Lew Alcindor and the Bucks.

The Lakers were scheduled to play the A ltanta Hawks last night in Los Angeles.

In the N ationa l Hockey League the Boston Bruins jum p ed ou t to a one game lead in the Stanley Cup Eastern finals.

W ohlhu tte r ran the Half-mile leg, Mike McMannon the Quarter, Vince Ambrico the Three- quarter , and Mike McCann the Mile.

In the individual events Notre Dame did no t fare as well. Pat Holleran placed s ix th in the Three Mile and Dave Stickler too k sixth in the 120 yd. High Hurdles.

In the field events the Irish entered only the Shot, Discuss, and Long Ju m p but placed in all making it a successful a f te r­n o o n ’s work in the field. N otre D am e’s Paul Gill (1 7 3 ’10 ” ) and Elio Polselli ( 1 7 1 ’) to ok second and third behind Miami of O h io ’s Pete Metier who won the discuss event with a toss of 177’ 10” . In the Shot Elio Polselli came back to grab fo u r th with a

toss o f 5 I ’8 ” th a t was six feet back o f Ind ian a ’s w inner, Bob Winchell. Mike McMannon took a fifth for the Irish in the Long Ju m p after running two exh aus t­ing quarter-mile legs earlier in the day.

The track team had a “ g o o d ” day on the second week o f the season th a t holds promise of success th rough overall balance. The m eet was evaluated as an excellent tune-up for an N.D. con tingen t th a t will travel to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa nex t week. The Drake Relays is one of the big national meets o f the early indoor season th a t a ttrac ts to p com pe t i to rs from around the cou n try and a good showing there Friday and S aturday could highlight the season fo r N otre Dame.
