Betty DaileyAuthors We NowHave Met

If not before , through our reading, a t leas t now, by means of thebroad introduction given during alecture of the pas t week, we havebecome acquainted with our greates t l iving Catholic authors . For,during that ta lk, accompanied asi t was with pic tures as well as byins ights into the l i fe and worksof the authors , we met and cameto know those men and women,some of whose books we have read,others of whom we have merelyheard, and others whose nameswere new to us .

There prevails a widespread impress ion that the Japanese Art ofpic ture print ing originated in thebeginning of the Edo period, 1600-1867. But in t ruth the modern development is c losely connected withthat of old specimens that havesurvived to our own t ime, andwhich show that Japanese woodcuts were produced as early as the11th Century.

Curb ServiceThe atmosphere of a girls' school is often apt to grow densewith "catty " remarks . These remarks , generally springingfrom a lack of anything else to say, can be the cause of muchgrief and heartbreak.1 We fear tha t this indoor sport of "talking about our neighb or" 4s fast becoming a favorite pastime .Considered by many to be a harmless means of passing t h et ime, cattiness has grown by leaps and bounds in popularity.We are college women a n d as such should think before wespeak. Everyone, no matter who she may be, possesses somepleasing or complimentary qualities. Let us remem ber thisthe next time we star t to make some ungracious remark. W hatalways strikes us as being very funny is|that those who talkabout others are oblivious of the fact th at | t he y also can b ethe center of such a discussion. The players of this g ame arechoosy only to the extent that they use as their target an absentee. Why not confine such action to the archery rang e!

Curb service is proving to be a most affective means of goodbusiness. Why not apply? a little curb service to the foolishwagging of our tongue s. ?|Jeanne Maley

Educated Catholicsnot luke-warm Catholics or those whobecause they have gone through college pretend a semblanceof education, but rightly educated Catholicswill form thebackbone of those who will show the world the right way oflife. We have been given the opportunties, hav e been exposedto the atmosphere, and it is our duty to do our part that wemay become part of that group of "educated Catholics."Fath er Lord describes an educated Catholic as one who isn 'tbelligerent about his religion heflives it and shows its superiority not by battle but by example; one who is honest, notjust because honestycis supposed toIpay, but because Christt aught it ; one who is well-mannered and courteous because he

recognizes the rights of others and applies Christlike love andcharity toward them; one who is calm in time of stress because the calm of his soul carries him through; one who likesgood literature, music, and art because he is satisfied withnothing but the best; one who does his best inShis profession,wha tever it mayjjbe, because that is his way of ma king th eworld a happier place for all man kind; one who is shrewdenough to know tha t Catholic fundamentals are laid in thehome, and tha t without Catholic education, it is almost amiracle if children become good Catholics.The trend of the present day world is to tear down. Humanlives, property, individual rights, governmentsall are beingtorn down to make place for the selfish desires of certain individuals. But how can we build down ? If we are to progress,if the world is to become a good place in which to live, we mus tbuild up. And it will be the "e ducated C atholics" who willshow the way to build up to human liberty, up to good government, up to individual rights, up, up, up to God!Dorothy Wadlinger: - o - :

He Who KnocksThere was once a young man whose knock was one of supplication ; the sharp rap of the young woman was that of condemnation. Both knocked upon a strong , firm-set door whichwas placed there as a barrier built up of the^stout timber ofopposition.The knocks of both were answered rightly from within.Thus, for the young man, the sturdy beamed door of obstaclesswung wide in response to the gentle tap of his beseechingfingersa temple of opportunity lay before his eyes. Theyoung woman also received an answer. For to her knocking,which gave evidence of destruction!and slander in its sharpness, the door of opposition also swung wide and opportunitylay over the thresho ld. But, from w ithin, the door was quickly closed. The young woman returne d back into the dark,wretchedf structure of her narrow, ill-proportioned mind.Martha Haley

Going Steady?When Bing Crosby croons, "Ifyou know a Cinderella, looking fora s teady fel la ," a "s teady fel la"sounds l ike a pret ty grand inst itut ion. % And you may think offhand that i t would be marvelousif you could be going steady withsome nice man.But let ' s take a less romanticview of the situation, leave BingCrosby out of it, and just be downright sensible. And consider thisquestion: What is a s teady boyfriend? When you come frightdown to it, he's the boy who doesnot phone ahead for a date because he expects you to be s i t t ingat homefjust waiting for him. jHe'sthe!boy who never asks you whatyou'd like to do when you have adate with him. (He's spent somany evenings parked on yourl iving-room sofa, that he 's begin-ningjto think that ' s your idea ofa gala occasion). H e's the boywho doesn't try to j win you withflowers and candy and l i t t le at tent ions. Why should he bother?You already acknowledge yourselfwon when you s tart going s teadywith him.Now there are some advantages

to Shaving a s teady. For onething, you' re pret ty sure to havea date over the week-end. Notthat a dateless week-end is fatal ,but it is dull. And it's a real com fort to know that come Saturdaynight , you' re going to have somekind of a date (even if it 's just thesame old /movie-and-soda t h a tBob's been taking you $on everySaturday evening s ince heavenknows when). Yes, a steady is acomfortable institution, but defini tely not an excit ing one. Forexcitement and 5for a real sport ,t ry playing the field.If you are dating two or threemen, it gives you an aura qf populari ty and a glamor that you cannot possibly achieve by being seeneverywhere with the same old

Bob. With all due deference tothe male of the species, you haveto admit that they' re a l i t t le bi tsheep-like?when it comes to popular girls . If one man sees tha tseveral other men l ike a certaingirl he rushes in willy nilly an djoins the admiring circle. As thesaying goes, nothing succeeds l ikesuccess. And this is, oh, so trueabout populari ty and dates . T h egirl with several beaux is justnaturally considered a|wow. B utthe girl who has a s teady doesn' thave this kind of at tract ion, noteven for the man she goes with.She's going steady ^with Bob, soshe might just as well*be wear inga sticker s a y i n g \ "BOB, H ISPROP ERTY ." The other men lostinterest and the girl loses glamor.She gets to be, even to Bob, sortof old-shoe. Comfo rtable a n ddear, but not very excit ing.And unless he's a pret ty except ional young man, the chances arethat he begins to treat her in arathe r old-shoe sort of way. Shegoes s teady with him, so he takesi t for granted that she's going tolove him through thick and thinNo matter i f he?forgets to phonefor a date. No matter i f he ishalf or three-quarters of an hourlate. No ma tter if he puts off hisdate with her to go to a baseballgame. She loves him anyway soshe'll love him just as much (hethinks) if he doesn' t bother to puton a clean shirt or shave beforeMand ate. She'll love him even if(Continued on Page 4)

W i t h SavageThis E r i e weather is reallysomething to write home about.Last week we (I mean the morefortunate ones) were wearing ourfur coats, now a coat is hardly necessary. And for the rain? Askth e ^hockey players what it is liketo play in a "drizzle."Our game with Edinboro wasplayed in a slow drizzle and it wasnot' fun. Mercyhurst p u t up ^good fight, but Edinboro was justa little bit better. I just can't recall the score, but we did try ourbest. I think the outstandingplayer this year was "Little"Crowley. With her minutenessand mighty swing, I 'd give her aplace on my All-American* Team.(If you are interested in knowingwho else made myiteam just droparound any time.) You might beon it, D. A.

I mus t congratula te the ^"3" rooters the collegehad. (No sarcasm intended)."I think I speak for the wholeteam when I sayfthat we reallyhad fun this year, win or lose wecan takefit.Claudia, Jeanne and myself wishthe team lots of luck next y e a rand win a game or two for us, eh,kids? | t IWith the close of the hockeyseason, our thoughts turn to basketball.

DISC DATAIf we may, we'll step aside fromrecords for awhile and talk aboutthe Senior Prom Band.In our opinion Ray Anthony'sOrchestra was one of the best topreside over a Mercyhurst tdancein many a moon. From all sideswe have heard many a laudatorycomment on the excellence of themusic. (Now watch the deflatersspout off.)About the only thing weldidn'tlike was the "jamming." We didn'tthink it quite fair of them to useUP our time and money in-'"showing off." It jdid show up the excellence of each man as an instrumentalist and we suppose thatthat's vital to a rising young band.HT:Now we'll be watching their

progress. It's impossible to s a yjust how long it'll take a band toget the 0. K. of Mr. John Q. Pub-lie and enter the lim elight tosome, it comes in a flash; for others, it's more slow and sure. Butwhen! Ray Anthony reaches thetop we can say why we hired himwhen"Sidelights: Did you know thatthe girl vocalist with Ray Anthony had just taken out her marriage license the day of our Prom?* * *

Back to the-plattersHave you heard Carmen Caval-laro's rendition of T chaikovsky'sPiano Concerto? If you have need we say more? If you havenot, be sure to listen for it.One of the newer novelties lisSam, You Made the Pants To oLong. Vaugh n! Monroes has donethis up very snappily, with TwoPair of Shoes on the other side.For afsmooth, romantic disc, weget G. Miller on From One Love toAnother. We like it, but then weare the type.Another new novelty is SammyKaye's Modern Design. The listener s are.supposed to join in on thechorus.I'- * * *The difficulty in writing up ^records for The Merciad is that bythe time we get rr any new recordsthey're old favorites, and also, be-cause we | just don't get! aroundenough. So, bear*, with us, fairreaders, if you think we're not upon the stuff. Burnham

(Continued from Page 1)prophecy that in the future moreand more Catholic writers will become read and talked about.Our student body was fortunateto be able to hear? these two lecturer s. After all, we are no longer children and if we really believein the philosophy which is beingtaug ht us we will certainly dosomething jto spread it. It is we,making up the mass of book[jpur-chasers every year, who are dupedinto buying trash. It is we, the so-called intelligent youth, who because a trashy]book gets a goodreview from a paid agent, join theclamor of the crowd in praise ofits merit. Either we are very palepink in our convictions or we knownothing of the principles of goodliterature. It is not enough t oscratch the surface of writing; wemust divorce the philosophy fromthe style and examine the formeras closely as the latter before wecan call a work "good."Mary Rita Gallagher

P O E T R Y !Poetry I Care suspended for a time.Joys, trials, sorrow, tears,Struggles of a lifetime's yearsHushed to the music of a rhymeMusic!

Freshmen FablesThe dance is over, the crowd hasdispersedin fact THEY'RE ALLGONE! The week-end was certainly one of great excitemenfor everyone. Especially for theFreshmen, I think. It being oufirst big affair we didn't seem toknow exactly how to prepare ourselvesit seemed we w e r e allhands and feet. But once out in th einvigorating air we caught hold of

ourselves.In fact Joan Berry didn't thinkit was so bad after all. But don'fret, there'll be other dances andexams only three times a yearJoan.Mary Fitzgerald, you made awonderful appearance in y o ublack taffeta gown. You were sensation!You kept right in step, didn'you, little Crowley. Our hats arej?off to you.Wasn't it grand having such awonderful representative h e r efrom other towns, Janet B. ?We were afraid you weren't going to make it, Betty R., whatwith a wedding in the morning anda dance at night.We were sorry you didn't stayfor the dance Magdeline. But thenwe're glad you went home. Thosecookies were dee-licious!More power to you, Mary Kay,for your last;minute preparations.They, or rather he, turned outpretty good.And how did you e n j o y th eweek-end, Jayne McCarron? Thatis just t what -I thought. Here'shoping they come more often (theweek-ends, of course.)Even Erie girls want changesonce in awhile, don't they, Doro-thea? Yours seemed to be a wonderful change. Am I right?We don't think a dance wouldbe complete without! the smilingIrish eyes of Rosemary Hurley.

It does our hearts good to keepcompany^ with you.Joyce Coleman is running you aclose second, though , R. H. Andwhat with the two of you dancingas you do I don't see how you canhelp smiling. But when in Eriedo as the Erians do.Now the column would& not hecomplete without a word about myown roommate. It was loads offun, wasn't it. Ah if Fond Memories!! But soon you will be singing the good old song of "ShuffleOff To Buffalo."We'll be back again next monthwith more comments on who, when,and where.Dorothy Ann Harrington

I f our s ix th sense is accu r a te , H e len Klan wasn 't en joying herself so obviously just because it was a lovely n ightalthough it was ! The reason forher b lithesomeness is also responsib le for her recent knowledge ofhow not to s tudy. Although sherarely mentions it , Betty Donatel-li was seen pursuing the road tot he 'Meer in a Model A, alwaysjust a l i t t le behind everyone else.And we'll always remember (evenunto the next Prom) the phrasethat kept r inging in our ears onthe day af ter the Prom, "I ' l l nevertak e an o th er b l in d d a te !

Listen , my children ,and you shall hearOf the worst b lind datein many a year .I t happened one dark day that agroup of persons decided to havea dance. It was to be such a lovely dancea p r o min en t o r ch es t r a ,a large ballroom, beautifu l dresses , mud packs, and false eyelashes,to say noth ing of hair switchesall to be at the dancelet us sayball , o r bette r s ti l l , bawl. However , you know how it is , there arealways those who must be caredfor , so a date committeeformed whose s logan was,pluck'em and somebody 'swith 'em." No scientis t e v e rworked harder than d id the d a tecommittee. . Those well-meaningsouls (we'll call them that, bu t oh ,how inadequate!) made a surveyof every " town, v illage, and farm"(and I do mean it) un til they foundvar ious species of humanity (or sothey thought.) Now the task wasto classify t h e m according toheight, weight, dancing abili ty ,and amount of hair . Now to foolsomebody in to going with the creat u r e . Abraham Lincoln said , "Youcan't fool all of the people all ofthe time ," but the write r wonders .A long hard s truggle ensued withthe date committee as referee. Thebout lasted about f ive days, b u tKid School Spirit finally landed ahaymaker and kayoed Tiger Better Judgment, af ter which the v ictim ! said , "Hello , Ma; hello , Pa ;

(puff, puff) i t was a hard fightbut they won, so send me somemo n ey ."The v ictim has a philosophy allhe r ownit can 't be any worsethan the last one; but l i t t le doessh e know!?Time marches about as s lowly

as the "yoo hoo" soldier boys ontheir f ifteen mile h ike, and thevictim sinks far ther down in to the"sloughfof despondency." By th istime she no longer has any faithin h u man n a tu r e , and J l ike an animal ] at bay becomes f ra n tic a n dwonde rs how she can get out ofthe s ituation . No f r iends are insight, no t even the date committee.All that is known concern ing thedate is that the is someone f romsomewhere, which could mean anyo n e f r o mjan y w h er e .At last the fatal hour ar r ivesand the victim is led, if she islucky, to mee t this . . . pers on; ifth e f a tes a re n o t w i th h e r ( a n dthey seldom are) and nobody hasever seen the date, she must gofor th alone. Her eyes are g lassy ,pupils d ilated , and her hands areclenched, r ig id and clammy.The writer hasn 't the hear t todescr ibe the meeting . Alas , t o opainful, indeed, it is!
