Nominations for that position were completed the previous Thursday, with six candidates being nominated. A majority vote is necessary for that office, and with Bix candidates in the field this could not be obtained on The Rams and th-e Friars will resume their athletic rivalry tomorrow evening when the State and Providence quintets clash at the R. I. Auditorium. A capacity crowd is expected to turn out to witness this basketball natural. Reports emanating from the proper authorities indicate that it will probably be necessary to ohang out the S. K O. sign. This all- important encounter will have a di- rect bearing on the Rhode Island basketball championship. Judging from previous contests be- tween these teams and their records of the present campaign, everything points towards a closely contested and hard-fought battle with only a few points separating the winner and the loser. The Rams have lost only two games and are being hailed as the best team ever to represent State. Many enthusiastic supporters of State are already tabbing them the Rhode Island champs. The Keaneymen are now in the lead for the State court crown by virtue of their victory over Brown. Providence is determined to move Into a tie for the title by handing the Kingstonians a setback. The Smith Hilierg have a veteran team and have been facing mucb stronger opposition than their opponents. This gives the Friars a slight edge over the in- vaders. You'll witness two evenly matched teams playing heads up bas- ketball for forty minutes. The in- vaders employ a wide open attack while the homesters use a smooth, consistent game. The Friars won the court title last year sweeping the State series and defeating Brown. They are favored to repeat Providence has been pointing for the State game and is confident of making it three straight over their arch rivals. McClellan Satisfied Coach "General" McClellan is satis- fied with the team's improvement over their pre-Christmas showing. The new plays used by the Friars in their last few games have worked very well greatly speeding up their offence. With a vast improvement both de- fensively and offensively the "Gen" is anticipating a hard earned win over the battling Rams. "Chet" Jaworski. one of New Eng- land's leading scorers, will lead the invader's attack. Coach Keaney's starting line-up will have Messina and Tashjian at the forwards, Jaworski at center, and Wright and Fabricant at the guards. Coach McClellan will start Carew and Gallagher at the for- wards, Bobinski at the pivot post, with Smith and Capt. Davin in the back court. George Feldman of Holyoke and John Winters of Springfield will ref- eree the varsity game. The prelimin- ary contest will start at 8 p. m., with the main attraction will get under way at 9:15 p. m. By virtue of their sterling triumph over the Dartmouth five, the Friars remained undefeated by New England rivals. A loss to the Rams will topple them from this high ranking while a victory on the other hand will enable the Smith Hillers to procure a firmer hold on the New England title. Providence after a slow start has come along fast, and in their last three games against Assumption. Dartmouth, and Lowell, respectively have been well-night invincible. The scalping of the Indians at Hanover proved that the Friars have one of the finest quintets in the East. the first ballot, which was held on last Monday. Three of the aspirants were eliminated in this first ballot, and on the second ballot whieh fol- lowed immediately a deadlock result- ed between the runner-up candidates, Daniel Berrigan and Thomas Durnin. each polling 25 voteB, with John Fan- ning first polling 32 votes. It was moved and carried that further bal- lotting be postponed until the next day, Tuesday, to enable the voters to reconsider their decisions.

Referring to the :munistic theory, he said, "Such (jsophy is an enslavement rather an emancipation.

Thus according to ristian philosophy the State exists man and not man for the State,— irofound, radical principle in social losopby." Future Lectures The address brought to a conclusion B series of lectures which were un- r the personal direction of Rev. ArthurH. Chandler.

Hence the coined day of ill omen. Last year the publishing calendar and the moon collaborated and pre- sented the staff with as fine a eolncf- "To the victor belongs the spoils." Only in this case the spoils didn't happen to be loot but rather the fulfilling of a wager- promise. It all started when Leo Miller bet Bill Lawler that R. I. State's point-a-minute basketball five would defeat the Spring- , field Indians. As both boys were a 'little short financially at the time. <most college men are I each agreed to trundle the winner down the main driveway to River Ave. and up the driveway again in a wheelbarrow. How the Springfield Indians tomi- bawked the R. I. Rams is history. The State point-a-minute men stacked up against an opponent that cared little for chronological scoring and even less for the reputation. The Minute Men. unlike their namesakes immortalized in Longfellow's "Paul Reveres Ride", did not fare well but they must have felt like those hero's as "the Indians sank ball for ball from behind each line and blackboard wall." State was defeated 34-30 but what is one man's poison is another man's meat (to use a bit of Chiasmus) and so Bill Lawler, having backed Spring- field (not just because he lives there) to the last ball bearing, was right on the spot to collect his winnings the other afternoon. Lounging back, in the barrow, as only one can lounge in such a contraption. Bill opened a text and began to cram for Mid-Year ex- ams while "Rickshaw" Leo. with a disgruntled grunt, picked up the han- dles and proceeded to "coolie" off down the driveway. Lawler made the most of his opportunity by getting in a good deal of back seat driving, much to the discomfort of Miller. As the barrow taxied to a halt in front of the College, Lawler stepped out cool and smiling, but Miller looked a lit- tle hot under the collar, in fact he looked hot all over. The Rev. Paul C. Perrotta. O.P.. professor of Philosophy at Providence College, opened a new series of free public lectures In Pittsfield, Mass. on Friday last. The series is part of an open forum program being conducted by the Pittsfield Knights of Colum- bus.

tent ion. but all through our social and moral organizations there a r e problems which would well bear the dissection of calm logic. Intellectual presentation of the essentials of these problems could be as effective as the press or radio in the Catholic counter drive.

A>ready the Thomistic Institute has begun to extend its work with the series of addresses given in Provi­dence being repeated in P i t t s f i e l d . Opportunity is thus being given to another city to hear the same lec­tures which drew capacity and inter­ested audiences to Harkins H a l l . T h e constructive discussion of Commun­ism will be brought to an increased group of Catholic laymen.

We thank the Thomistic Institute for the fine series just c o m p l e t e d . T h e people of Providence and t he s tuden t s of Providence College p rof i t ed b y the series, and it is our earnest hope that the Thomistic Institute w i l l see fit to present these same s p e a k e r s a n d others in the discussion of o t h e r v i t a l problems of the day .

They are perhaps the j o n l y t a n g i b l e evidence of p rogres s . W h a t e v e r m a y have been the work d u r i n g the term, the examination is d e s i g n e d to give f a i r measure of suc­cess o r f a i l u r e . Viewed in t h i s ob­j e c t i v e sense, the examination is a r easonab le barometer.

But f r o m the student 's subjective v i e w an examination is too of ten a uewe-wracking process. Frantic s t udy and miduight lucubration a lmos t i n ­variably are disturbing forces for t he space o f a week. If the i n d i v i d u a l s tudent were accurately able to guage his year ' s work, some of the self- tor­ment which a c c o m p a n i e s a n e x a m i n a ­tion might be p reven t ed . But s t udy is too often hit a n d miss, and w h e n the day of accounting comes, the b o o k s are completely u n b a l a n c e a b l e .

T h e y w i l l h a v e profited no end by t h e i r abbreviated sojurn at college a n d will be better men for the lesson t hey have l e a r n e d .

It is expedient that this type of dis­c i p l i n e be kept in practice in order to i n s u r e college men of the highest calibre i n our institutions of higher learning.

W e sincerely hope that every man e n r o l l e d i n college will be with us after the results of the Mid-Years are announced, but with the many unfore­seen difficulties that are bound to arise the probability that this will be

men as Dr. Potter insist upon under­

mining these teachings, and offering

to the weak-willed easily followed, but

morally depraved, alternatives.

Dr. Potter goes on to "blame" the

Roman Catholic and orthodox Protes-,

tant churches for "Being responsible ,

for the tact that New York Slate rec­

ognizes but one legal ground for d i ­

vorce—adultery." and for "Causing

thousands of men and women to per-j

jure themselves and swear to adul­

teries thai never existed In order to ,

get divorces from marriages that have

gone on the rocks for other causes."

A s to the first "charge." the churches should Indeed be sorry that they have made It impossible for a woman In New York to get a divorce because her husband smokes a differ-. eut b r a n d of cigarettes, or does not l i k e the same movie stars as she does. A n d for the other, in the case of the C a t h o l i c Church at least, it is patently r i d i c u l o u s to charge i t with causing " m e n a n d women to perjure them­se lves—in order to get divorces." w h e n the Church forbids divorce.

If we w e r e to t h r o w out addition, s u b t r a c t i o n , multiplication a n d divi­s i o n , the uatloual budget could easily be balanced. Anything could happen, for w h o c o u l d say what was r i gh t a n d wha t w a s wrong? D r . P o t t e r should know that if he throws out the basic l a w s of morality, moral chaos will re­sult. H e shou ld k n o w that if he makes m a r r i a g e a c a s u a l a g r e e m e n t , and gran t s d i v o r c e ou any flimsy pretense, the u l t i m a t e result w i l l be the com­plete co l l ap se of f a m i l y l i f e .

Local Boy Makes Good

Joe Cusick, former LaSalle and oly Cross catcher, pay us a friendly •It last week. Joe >is one of the ma ball players evei developed by «lt Barry, c o a c h of the Crusaders, nt is des t ined to n a k e good in b ig ae baseba l l . This is the same Joe

Cusick who collected a couple of hits against the great Lefty Grove In an exhibition game when the latter was doing duty for Connie Mack.

Joe informed us that he is now the property of the St. Louis Cardinals and has heen optioned out to Colum­bus of tbe American Association, but is subject to recall at any time during the season. He is expected to catch 125 games or more for Columbus. But I think that before the end of next year's baseball rolls around you'll find Joe Cusick behind the but for tbe Cards. The St. Louis nine is sadly in need of some good catch­ing and Joe should strengthen that department immensely without too much difficulty. He'll do.

Hockey By Harvard The Crimson sextet marred Brown's

(Continued from Page 1) candidates. Mr. Berrigan and Mr. Fanning remained. Mr. Berrigan was elected on tbe second ballot. Election! of members of the Committee was postponed until Wednesday. A rather novel and unique method of impar­tially selecting a committee made its initial appearance in this election. The Moderator, Class officers, and Chairman of the Prom Committee selected from the class at large twen­ty-four eligible candidates, whom they judged most suitable for positions on the Committee, and also giving repre­sentation to all sections of the claes. Four candidates were selected from the Arts, Business and Science Div­isions, respectively, and twelve nom­inees from the Philosophy division in as much as this group equals, in num­bers, the other three divisions com­bined. Students were instructed to vote for one man in Arts. Business. Science, and for three men in the Philosophy section, forming a com­mittee of Bix men. exclusive of the class officers, who are ex-offlclo mem­bers of the Committee. A plurality of votes for any one In his specific sec­tion was sufficient to elect him. But again a tie resulted between Carl
