COMMON MARKET QUESTION What many Americans con- sider to be the "Colossus of the West" has b!'en expanding hy tremendous proportions In the last few years. It is the Euro- pean Common Market. Formally known as the European_ Eco- nomic Community (EEC), it was established in January 1957, by the Treaty of Rome. The six na• tions which today comprise the EEC are: France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg. With these six na- tions already belonging and Great Britain applying for ad- mittancc-, on wonders whether this union is political or ec-o- nomic or both. At present, it appears that the union is merely one of economic expediency. Whereas, formally each European nation has had a sy tern of tariffs, quotas and other economic restrictive de- vices, the Inner Six now enjoy almost complete free trade with- in and common barriers without. member nations over the past The industrial growth of the seven years has averaged about 7'/r, as opposed to 5% for West- ern Europe and 2% for the Uni- ted States. Thl' c-urrenic-es of these nations are extremely hard, and there is little unem- ployment. As a percentage of world production (as of 1959) the Common Market production of various i.tems compares as follows with that of the United States and the Soviet Union. EEC US USSR 'Electricity 11.7~/,, 38.5% 12.8% Steel 20.9 28.1 19.8 Cement 19.9 19.9 13.5 Automobilps 30.1 54.4 1.2 Wheat 11.7 13.9 23.3 Sugar 22.8 10.5 30.1 Butter 20.6 13.7 17.7 Meat 10.2 19.6 13.9 So phenomenal has been the growth of EEC that Professor Rolf Wagenfuhr, director of the Statistical Office of EEC has es- timated that in the next ten years its Gross National Product will increase from 38% to 61 % of that of the United States. If the Common Market, including all of Western Europe, contin· ues to expand at the present rate of three times that of the United States, no many years hence shall it become the most powerful economic bloc in the world. With such problems facing the United States, it would seem that three steps are necessary to combat the otherwise inevitable result. First", there is need for tariff reduction (though not necessarily as Mr. Kennedy would have it), followed by the simultaneous lowering of wages and costs, such that the buying power is not affected. Thus, the United S t ate s manufacturer would become eligible for a greater salability on the world market; the increased profits of these greater sales being turned into wage raises without price increases. Yet, the question remains, will the United States be able to meet this new challenge offered by the Common Market? Un• equivocally yes, provi.ded the manufacturers and lobarers do not ask for the Federal Govern- ment to transport them across the abyss. •National Review feet ear.

In the mPantime, they provide food for thought. STUDENTS MOURN ACCIDENT Friday, Elmer Nurd, sopho- more at USD tumbled to disas- ter from the path leading up the side of the hill the school. Rainy wc>ather played a large part in the mishap. Elmer is the third student to be scraped off Linda Vista Road this year. USD BLUSHES Pr!'sident Ted Kennedy, broth• er of former presidC'nt, Robert Kennedy, spoke last week at the Student Congress meeting. Two freshman and Father Ganahl at- tended the meeting. TAPPA KEGA WELCOMED Tappa Kega Beer, a chapter of the national fraternity, has been welcomed to USD as the 116th fraternity to be listed on campus. Student founder, Mar- vin Mute, says that the frater- nity will have trouble initiating members from the six r!'maining non-fraternity students, but that they are hopeful of a large pledge class next year. man of such stature and integ- rity. They portray Hiss as a tall lean, cultured gentleman who could not possibly have been a Communist although the facts are there for everyone to read. (For the Hiss account read In The Court of Public Opinion). But Chambers did not write his book merely to inform the public that communism existed in the United States. He is warn- ing us that communism is an irritant and an evil. He inter- prets the appeal and vision of communism; thr p h i I o sop hy that the world is decaying in its own filth and: "It is necessary to change the world." It is an alarming book and an alarming view of a grotesquely propor- tioned monster fifth i1s serpen- tine grasp and extended claws; constantly moving seizing, chok- ing. Witness is at times a highly emotional and personal book. It is oftentimes a disturbing one with an overtone of impending destruction-for Chambers be- lieved that the western world, in its ignorance and apathy, is losing the battle against com- munism. Because of his insis- tence on minute detail, there are several instances when he is boring and unnecessarily wordy. But for the most part he is force- ful and unhurried. He has a tragedy to tell-a tragedy of history_ The great underlying theme of Witness, however, is not his years as a Communist, nor his part in the public drama of the investigating eommittees. Ra- ther it is the ordeal of the hu- man soul enveloped in the con- flict of the 20th century: free- dom or communism, religion or materialism, God or man. As Chambers puts it, "The issue was not guilt or innocence but a conflict of faiths," simply "a picture of God and man's rela- tionship to God, or a picture of man without God." In an era in which man has made great strides in science and technilogy and has often superseded reverancc and awe for God with "reverence and awe for man's monkey-like amazement at the cleverness of his own inventive brain," Cham- bers attributes the beginning of his break with communism to this statement (in reference to his daughter) : "My eye came to rest on the delicate convolutions of her ear-that intricate, per•

II rolling; then came Pi Kappa Epsilon, and this year Alpha Delta Gamma and Sigma Tau Sigma are awaiting approval. With their blossoming also come many queries about fraternity life on our campm,. Herewith follows a brief glimpse of what a fraternity isn't and is. A fraternity, a good fraternity, is not a clique. It does not de- mand "You must give up your old friends to belong". It does say "We're willing to be your friends, too.'' A fraternity is not all social. It is a mistaken impression on this and other campuses that a fraternity's main function is to provide its members with a broad array of parties and dates. Benefits such as scholastic aid, athletic de elopment, future al- umni n , practieal busi- . a ership oppor- tunitle d d line anrl self. govern enl: are rhcompasspd by the pro epets of fr lernity lift. A fraternity Is not conformity. Although tlH•n• is the> frrling and mottos "All for One" and "Unity br<'<•ds Strength", each individual's specific talents and capabilities are nec>ded to per- fect these goals. A fraternit · a brotherhood, a group of I bondrd togeth- er, in a s ial, spiritual, aca- rlemic, and fllial organization helping each other and provid - ing the entire studentry with a perpetual supply of good will. The satisfaction derived from being a part of such a noble or• organization rannot be strC'ssed too highly. Bear in mind that fraternities play an important part in cam- pus life helping to fulfill the tra- diti,ons that make any college great. I Mr. Mr . Cluh I We are proud of a fairly new club on campus. It is rai- led the Mr. and Mr Club, and was formecl last year by Riehard Gray who, although he is now an alumnus. has been a strong supporter through the 1961-62 school year. He has offered un- told assistanee anp sacrifice to the presrnt offieprs: Bob Tome• oni, Jr. - President-Treasurer; Kent (Skip) Roby-Vice Presi- dent; Richard Patrick-Secre- tary; and Father Brent Eagen- Faculty Moderator. This club has earned money for parties to entertain the mar- ried couples of the Unh:ersity (including Alumni l by selling popcorn at all University and University High Sehool home football games in the current year. This was accomplished through th<' efforts of Skip Roby, who furnished the Popcorn Ma- chine; Bob Tomeoni who was able to get the raw popcorn and butter at wholesale prices; and Richard Patrick and Di.ck Gray who offered their time and in- terest and witb the help of each of their wives. This group work• ed quite vigorou ly throughout was able to ake over $180 pro- fit for the embers to enjoy.

viour, Jesus hris . A solid, sus- tained devotion venerating the Mother of God is evidenced in the life of the good Catholic. During this month try to prae- tic-r some devotion which will honor her each day this May. Comment It is a strange paradox. The UnivC'rsity of San Diego is at once thirteen years old, and fi.fteen hundred years old. All agree that the University was formally constituted in is a depository of two thou nd years of culture, that we are a living branch of the cent:ral In- tellectual tradition ot Western Civilization. To be s re, our buildings are only a drcade old, but our teachers and our wis- dom have their roots In Jarrow and the Palace School Cluny and Paris. Our faculty Is small, but in Aristotle, Augustine, Boe- thius, Bede, Alcuin, Albertus, Bonaventure, and Aquinas, we have the greatest teachers yet come from the race of man. The students who attend elasses in the modern and well- appointed buildings of the Uni- versity of San Diego enter and leave without ever realizing the treasure that is theirs. Yielding to the criticism of our contem- porary secular educators, we often strive vainly to · 11itate the huge state supported schools. With a certain feeling of lnferi• ority, we gaze wistfully at their vast and complex technical and scientific facilities. We rom- promise. We must not lose sight of our heritage. As students we must constantly bear in mind that ed- ucatwn is not an end in itself, but rather a noble means or- dered to the attainment of our ultimate end. We am, as Aris- totle said, citizens of two worlds; we have one f t in heaven. This is the reasor. for existence of Catholic education. As Catholic University stu- dents we should love our philo- sophy and learn from it. The sublime doctrine of St. Thomas can open unimagined vistas to the docile spirit. No value can be as meaningful as the know- ledge that all positive law is based on the inviolable dignity of the human person. No natural thrill can match that electric moment when the unaided hu- man intellect discovers God. Our philosophy is true and certain; we can use it instru- mentally to adequately know the entire universe. And what is more, it aids is clafifyi.ng the great mysteries of our Faith, it guards and protects the ;{'earl of Great Price, it is the he ge and fence of the Vine. . We priceless Faith and reason for it. While secular educat ion mo r as s of acillation change, leading u ltima te bitter skepticism1 our d is constant. While lio spent to produce a n a tion moral relativists, our Ca tho ·c University, our beloved Mother and Teacher, gives birth yet to great souled men.

k, their as pub• student. luck in the future. Alpha Delta Gamma is a Na- tional Catholic College Social Fraternity founded in 1924 with chaptPrs on Catholl.c eampuses from coast to coast. Some of our more notable brothers have in- cludt•d: Carl Sandburg, Babe Ruth, Harry S. Truman, (Some may prefrr notorious to notable) Ollie ::l,fatson, and Phil Woolpert. Here at USD Alpha DC'lta Gamma is recognized as a col- ony chapter by our National Of- fice, but is still awaiting recog- nition on campus by both the adminL~tration and th<' ASB. Thi lack of recognition has somewhat eurtailed our activi- ties until now. But we expect to be recoginzed soon. To date ADG has 15 m<'mbers and i in the pro ess of building a strong organization so it will be able to function at full strength next semester. Our pre- sent officers arc: Mike McDon- nell, President; Brian Kelly, Vice president; Mike Hughes, Se<•re- tary Steve Briggs, Treasurer; and Hank Acquarelli, National Drlegat1• and Social Chairman. Alpha Delta Gamma has al- ready arlopted the San Diego Children's Home as its own work project. Before school is out we plan lo paint and renovate three cottages for them and we wiJI continue to offrr thrm our serv- ices throughout the coming year. On campus next September we i ntPnrl to direct our energies to- ward building a strong intra- mural program and sponsoring sundry activities which will be a benefit to the University and to the entire student body. Our primary interest is to promote school spirit. We want to do our part, and encourage others to do theirs, in making USD a Univer- sity of which wc can all be proud. •e that the ASB officers merit a scholar- ship of $100 for thc-ir time spent in behalf of the entire studentry. Not only that, but they should be given full tui• ion free, particularly for the president." Jim Delaney: "Although I be• lieve this is a good bill, I feel that it his been handled wTongly in that the studei:its are considering the persons m· valved rather than t he issue at hand.'' Paul Majkut: "It's a fine idea. Howpver, I would like to see it begin next year. The pres• ent officers haven't achieved anything concrete, in my opinion." David Hinojosa: "Th t' ridicu• Ious . . . utterly ridicul s. If they deserve it, b ody who dOC's any Ii t for the school will ~d. Note. Brian Ford proposed the am - mendment.

DOOM.8 Dear Sir: incere appreciation thanks and heartfelt to those students responsible for publishing the much needed newspaper. Many of us have looked forward to its arrival with sighs of relief. At one and the same time I would like to congratulte any students who have assisted their University this year, and con- demn these "do-nothings" who find time for nothing else but severe critisism or everything on campus. Those students who are in Masquers, The Gavel Club, who work on the newspaper, aid the college through their fraterni- ties or stu dent government, or at least show a wholesome, con- cerned interest in their school, merit a g reat deal of praise. Obviously, all is not peaches and honey-there is yet a lot of work that can be done. And what isn't done can often be blamed-not a lways on the ad- ministration (w h i c h usually takes the rap whether dcscrv• cdly or no)-but on the apathy shown by th~ students them• selves. It's an ugly word all right , but attendance at many school functions and activities seems to bear out the fact that some> students want everything handed them on a silver platter, or else don't care at all. If these people would take a more active and interested part in goings on around campus, they might be surprised at what the college does offer. Let's show concern and quit complaining. Get behind the academic and extracurricular eight ball and make something of USD. Sincerely, Mr. Ralph Roister Doister are in order A TRIBUTE TO R. J. B. . Whittaker - (799pp.) Witness Chambers - Ra n do m House (1952) · $5. Witness is a book of confes- sions. It is the autobiography of a man who, after serving Com- munion loyally for 13 years, re- pudiated it, fought it, and fin- ally climaxed the struggle in the famed Hiss-Chambers Case. Whittaker Chambers paints a edtelaid-and ofter startling pic- ture of a huge ideological move- ment. It is an exhaustive ac- count of the tactics, demands and following of the Communist Party_He relates how prominent people, under the noses of the unsuspecting American public, secured high, very high political positions and appropriated se- cret documents to overthrow the government. His book has all the props of a spy novel: espion- age, secret agents, furtive meet- ings, murders, pseudonyms, in- vestigations. It has been nine years since Chambers (he died in January of this year) wrote his convinc- ingly authentic report and 13 years since two opposing faiths -Alger Hiss representing one, Whittaker Chambers the other- came together before the House Committee on Un-American Ac- tivities. hirteen years ago he accused, and by his testimony indicted, Alger Hiss of being a Communist and revealed a net- work of underground apparatu- ses and groups which only a few persons knew existed. The im• mediate result was scorn and hatred for the fat little man who was creating a wild, imagina- tive tale.
