Not only did the Staten Island Club sign up in force, as the article stated, but hundreds of others made requests from all over the city. Neighboring colleges and universities telephoned in to find how we had gotten the concession. Nor did it end there. For weeks names were being sent in. Staid citizens telephoned. Like any good joke, it ran its course, though Bill Thompson did have quite a time get- ting his stories believed after that. LABOR ACTIVITIES HE past year was a most active year for the considerations of the problems of labor and managment and TOI' the discussions of labor relations. The pages of the Quadrangle bristle with indications of the activities carried out in this field. Chief of the activities, sponsored by the School of Business Ad- ministration, was the public Labor Sym- posium held on the evening of Friday, March 22. Due to the eHorts of the stu- dent body, the importance of the meeting, and the prominence of the speakers, a large crowd filled the Smith Auditorium to hear the distinguished speakers. Rev- erend VVilliam I. Kelly, O.lVI.l., Chair- man of the New York State Labor Re- lations Board, Mr. Harry L. Derby, President of the American Cynamid and Chemical Corporation and Mr. Martin C. Kyne, Vice President of the C.I.O. United Retail and Wholesale Employees of America. These key men in labor, man-- agement and arbitration presented a stimulating program that focused the at- tention of the audience on the complexi- ties of the questions involved and led to animated discussion from the Hoor. Pre- sided over by Brother justin, Professor of Social Science and Moderator of the Leo Labor Club, it epitomized the atten- 163 tion these important questions are receiv- ing at Manhattan. Through the good offices of Professor Frank L. Thornton, the Industrial Rela- tions club had interesting meetings at which prominent labor leaders spoke. Likewise in the labor field, was the spon- soring of pamphlet racks in the library, where modern material on these vital questions might be found, the obtain- ing of subscriptions to the Catholic WO1'kCY,,, now at a peak of three hundred, and an intercollegiate meeting on labor relations held on March 10. At this meet- ing, the question of Catholic labor leader- ship was discussed. f ' ' 2 1 g X Lit-r .z-1 -:-:-: Hegslgs:-.gi-,-,I-,gi 5-.::,:,,.:3' U I-91:52 1' r:.-':5-.-.5: .,2,Z 1'-'5 ' 'I 'if 1: :P-.-., rw-1?

day that kept his class beyond the time indicated for their participation in the activity, but the elasticity of the sched- ule had permitted a lapse long enough to include the members of his class. True, another group, scheduled for outdoors did not arrive until it was too dark and their picture did not come out. True, another group had not arranged its re- organization for the year in time to par- ticipate in picture taking. Next year, the sun Will' shine, the organizations will all be ready, the schedule will be strictly ad- hered to, the student body will be so well informed that everybody will look his best, the professors will all remember the day, the photographer will be perfectly equipped to cope with every situation, the assistants will be on hand and ready to lend him every assistance. Next year's pictures will all be perfect. But then, that's next year! THE QUAD SELLS FOR THE GOVERNMENT QT since Bill McHale left the staff of the Quadrangle, has so much humor found its Way into the pages of the school paper as we have been blessed with in the past few months. At least once a month some pre- posterous or curiously mal-a-propos item found its way into the pages that ordin- arily represent staid and dependable journalism. The crowning point of this Whimsy appeared on page one of the March 13 issue, when, by a stroke of un- believably good luck, the Quadrangle, no less, was made agent for the United States Government in its efforts to dis- pose of thousands of excess commodity jeeps, at only sixty-seven dollars each, provided they should be purchased in lots of thirty. 162

The Illmzlzafian College Playcvzs' in their 1946 play: You Cuff! Taka It I'Vitlz You VISIT OF CARDINAL GRIFFIN ROBABLY our most optimistic and jovial visitor last Spring was Bernard, Cardinal C-rifhn, Arch- bishop of NVestminster. His Eminence, elevated to the Sacred College of Cardi- nals at the same Consistory as Cardinal Spellman, was in New York as his guest. Unfortunately Cardinal Spellman was unable to accompany him to the informal reception here at Manhattan College. This unexpected shortcoming was quickly overshadowed by the Winsome manner in which the youngest Cardinal acquainted us with the status of higher Catholic education in Britain. Before unfolding this information he first ascended to De La Salle Chapel and olifered prayers. The short smiling Cardi- nal then returned to address us from the chapel steps. His voice though not quite so baritone as that of Brother B. Thomas, who introduced him, magically captured all those present. One could not help feel that His Emi- nence was enjoying his short stay in the land of religious freedom. Nor will any deny that Manhattan College never looked better than at the moment when Cardinal Griffin explained that there are no Cath- olic colleges or universities in England. This last fact must have been very poig- Tlze Irish Culluml Sorirly in the Sf. PtIfl'If'IB,.Y Day IDIIVUIIL'
