ZOEBISCH ,.,,,,,,,.,.,,..,,.,Circulation Editor Nineteen hundred and thirty-five brought with its change in the Managerial Board an entirely new departure in the Tower publication. Dave James set Out to change the heretofore mathematical exactness of umake up. Succeeding in this, he then turned' his efforts to the substantive side of campus journalism. Great stress was placed upon the interest of the readers. Numerous compliments were showered upon the editorial style in which a diver- sity of campus affairs was discussed. Appreciation was also expressed for the intro- duction of Music of the Tower , uBridge and several current events columns. Scoops became a habit rather than oddities as a result of breaks made in the football schedule and, in particular, the Orange Bowl game. The Tower scooped the down town papers on the Bowl game by several hours. The extra edition was issued on a Thursday evening while the news was not published in the Washington papers until the following morning. 'Home-coming was marked by a six page edition featur- ing reprints of outstanding articles printed in the Towers of former years. Perhaps the greatest tribute that has been paid to this student undertaking was made by a well known professor when he said, On Thursday evening the C. U. students think first of the Tower and then of their supper. l07

The CARDINAL I936 l06 Harlequins REV. MAURICE OyLEARY, O.P. ...................... Director HERBERT BROWN ............................... Prexz'dem JACK THRALLs .............................. Vire-Pren'dent JOSEPH ANGERS .................................. Secretary At the beginning of the scholastic year the members of the dramatic organization fully realized the diihcult task that lay before them if they were to succeed in staging a production that would measure up to the standard set by uJourney's End and uThe Three Wise Fools . After several months of procrastination and disorganization the club fmally swung into action under President Zeke Brown. For the first time in the history of dramatics at the University, the Harlequins recruited the talented services of several members of the Dramatic Club of Trinity College and in May presented George Kellys three act comedy The Show Off . The play was well directed, well acted, and well received by a most appreciative audience. The initial production under the combined efforts of the two schools seems to have laid a solid foundation for great dramatic productions of the future. First Row: Angers, Brown, Thralls.

GAUDREAU Art Editor As you read these lines you have already judged the work of the CARDINAL staff Its success or failure is to be measured by yOur opinion. It is the honest belief of the Editors that this volume fails to indicate truly the kind of journalistic work that the students of the Catholic University are capable of doing. It is only by your sympathetic understanding of the details involved in the building of an annual, your constructive criticism, and your whole-hearted cooperation that the ideal CARDINAL may be realized. l08
