George Murphy, president, Brother A. Joseph and the officers of the St. Thomas More law Society. T. TH Tom Kelly finds the law to be humorous us well as interesting. displays his courtroom style. For the students who plan to enter law school, the words of More are of great significance. It is the idea of this society that its members will follow the precepts that were espoused by St. Thomas More. To further this aim the society holds bi-monthly meetings. At the end of each year this group sponsors a Law Advisory Forum, aided by practicing attorneys. This forum is designed and forms part of a program specifically intended to meet the needs of undergraduate students. Between the theory of law as expounded by More and its practical application there lies not so much a gap as a fre- quently obscured link which unites legalistic abstractions with concrete realities. It is the hope of the society that it makes this link evident. The society conducts its members on trips through the courts. In this way they have the opportunity of attending court trials and meeting the presiding judges. The members compile a list of all the obtainable information on scholarships and law school entrance exams. The Docket is the annually published report of this group. In 1954 the society succeeded in establishing Manhattan College as one of the centers for the law admission exams. This is one of an increasing list of services rendered to the student body by this society. 185

One of the most important groups in the school of Electricdi Engineering is the affiliated chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. The importance of this organization is based upori its con- centration of activities which are specifically designed for engineering students. Scholastically the society has aided many members in obtain- ing difficult data and also in verifying experimental results. Several members of the society have utilized this data and material in their papers which were submitted in competition with other students. The many plaques received now hang in the Electronics Laboratory in Manhattan Hall. The main objectives of the A.I.E.E. are to advance the theory and practical applications in the field of electrical engineering and to encourage research in engineering particularly in the power engineering field. The I.R.E. on the other hand, was organized to advance the science of radio communication and the related fields of television and research into the more practical applications, especially in the field of transistors.

Otticers find some humor in a labor contract. President Gillic outlines plans for the spring conference. The Marketing Club was instituted in 1952; it has become one of the fastest growing organizations on campus. The advancement of the club has paralleled that of the Marketing Department. It is due in part to the excellent reputation that the club enjoys among the undergraduates that many students have been attracted to the marketing field. The main purpose of the Marketing Club is that of service to each member and aid to the student body. In this way the club increases the value of the department to students maior- ing in marketing.

He is surrounded by modern secularists who do not modify their policies with social values that have been formulated by the Church, acting in her role as teacher. The Leo Labor Club is fully aware of the conditions that exist in a modern industrial society. It realizes that it there are errors, they are due more to ignorance than to intent. It is the purpose of this club to inculcate its members, most of whom will enter the labor field, with the precepts that have been expressed by Christ and re-echoed in the Papal Encyclicals, Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno. These principles chart the means by which labor conflicts can be reduced to a minimum. They aftirm the dignity of labor and the relationship between labor and management. This is to be based, not according to the position each has in the labor market but according to the respective social function each performs. With these principles in mind and a knowledge, realistically formulated, of present conditions, the club orientates its activi- ties to demonstrate the real possibility of their application in modern day America. A full program of lectures given by noted authorities who live and work in the secular environment is held each year to aid its members as well as students not specializing in labor relations.
