I N l\IANY wan this issue ma\' ha\'C hccu partl~· influcncccl bY the summer weather. Its being ca'led "summer issue", therefore fits fair~y well. In a way, our coocls m;n· ha\'e snffcn:d from sun-stroke, not onC of them made the grade for a printable short stor~-. But the female nf the specie is superb in spite of the summer heat. So we have three short stories written In· our coeds. But what the Coocls lost on the short stor\". thC\· have tried to tnrn the tables on i:hc fCmmes with the feature ston' :md the informal personal essay. Three or four ha,·c heen slated of the former, and at least two of the latter. \\'c al~o have our one-ancl-on]v C.

We are honored with this condescension from one who knows his onions, with the sonnet "llieroglyph" lncidenta1Jy. it is culled from a forthcoming book written hY the poet himself entitled AfJril in September. This sonnet also may ha,·e been partly influenced Ix· onr summer weather, although, with due apologies. the poet did not tell us so. Two more poems are in. TI1ese are experiments in blank \"Crsc, and arc some proofs of what we ma\· be able to learn in literature subjects "at use. One grieve~ that once woman's fra$ile cup of \'irtue is shattered to pieces, no 1.1111011nt of effort mn place it whole ag:ii!1 ..

Her short storv is one of the best that ever ~ced oUr 1>ages. It is expressionistic m tone. The Misses Calonge and Enemccio are also newcomers with their respective short stories in this issue.

Auspicious policies hm•c been laid down in the hope of properly adminis. tering the Libr.irv's functions to the stuc!ents. Such Policies of administrat:on ultimately boil down to an end which Fr. Baumgartner expressed concisely in this wise: "To bring the hooks to the students, and the students to the hooks." This end is expected to he realized by the cffectfre application of policies which Father Baum~artner enumerated as follows: First, the administration has never :;~k:j1~: ~~ri~~t~f S~l~~;i ~~~ t~~: hsfy the needs of the dJfercnt COllr· scs for reference and research. "\Ve spe!1t more than onr budget in books besides expense for maintenance which has an extra budget. But import control pro,·idcs a bottlcncxk in the early arrival of shipments.

Second, the Lihran· pcr.mnnel h::l\'c a!wan cndcamrecl to scn'e the student~ in the b~t way possible. This encoura~s the student-; to patronize the Libra~· all the more, and will make them reali7.e that the Libran· is theirs for reasonable and effective' use. To this effect, efforts ha\'C been exerted to make the students who use the Li. bran· maintain silem::e. "The students, howe\'Cr. are liable to n1isundcr~tand thC insistence on silence bciup maintained in the reading room of the l.ibran·. Tiu;,· seem to think that if the others don't show sigm that thcv arc clisturbed, no harm is done. Bui that is not right. In the first place, if some start talking, others will follow.

I Tc turned ont to he Ariston Napkil. son of the famous Manila architect. I le was taking post graduate work in architecture in Har\'ard. \Ve were ver~· glad to sec each othe'r, although we ,,·ere total strangers. You see, upon seeing him looking like a FiliDino, I just approached him and asked him if he was a Filipino. Sure, he was. That wJS all \\"c nceclcd· to know and from that moment we were like old friends. Ile inYitecl me to meet the other Filipino ~tndents in the dormitorv of Ilar\";ml's modernistic Graduate Ccntar. I needed 110 second invitation. I was ,·en- anxious to meet some fellowcmintrnncn, aucl so were thcv, I learned afterward~. At the donl1, I met Gregorio Abreau, UP graduate laking post graduate work in ChemishT; two brothers, Amado and Cetnlio C<istro. both of UP and taking economics and engineering, respccti\(ely; Jnlio de la Cmz of Lcytc, UST, post grndnatc in law; and Alfredo Lagmay.

(Harvard is in Cambridge acros~ the Charles Rives, a 20·minutc ride by subwar.) 'J\rn da\'S before this "reunion awa,· from home." hmVC\'Cr, I had a vcr\· interesting experience with Amcricai1 high school slndcnts. Yon sec, I, toi;:cthcr ,~·ith my tra\'elling partner, 1\fr. Yu \\'c1 Jao of Taipeh, Formosa, (he wa~ cch1<"atcd in the University of Edinbnrgh). was a gncst at a corlvention of high ~chool students from all O\"Cr Boston - hundreds of them, all teen-agers. bo~·s :md girls. The gathering was a h11ffct.cliscmsion org<inized hr the United Council on \Vorkl Affair.~. our host organization during our onC-\\'Cck sla\· in Bo.~ton. After the lmffct-mpper; at which we were seated amon~ the st11dents, the only Asians in the group, the question "Is \Var \\Tith Russia Ine\"itable" was discussed P<igc 20 by Prof. Green of Massachus"etts Institute of Technology nnd Dr. Claude of IJarvarcl. I've never seen a group of ,·mmg people so interested in such a :'worlcl-shaking" s-nbject as these youngsters. It would make us older students ashamed of ourselves not taking as much interest in international affairs as thc'ie high school students. Yon should have heard the intelligent and earnest questions they shot at Prof. Green and Dr. Clande. Even college graduates would he stumped by them. After the lively open forum, at which C\'crybodr was cager to pnrticipatc, we were asked to say a few words. lmt we declined as we were not prepared. That, howC\'Cr, did not stop rvfr. Dan Fenn, Director of the Council, from announcing that "yon may sneak up to them (meaning us) and ask them qncstions about their countries." That did it. IJerc they came upon us, asking a lot of questions about the Philippines and Formosa, timidly at first but getting holder when they found that we were responsive to their friendliness. A pretty, intelligent girl near me asked me, rather shyly, to sign on her autograph book. I obliged, and before we knew it, we were signing our names on autograph books, notebooks, books, pros;:rams. napkin.~ •. and what. ha,·c you. Frankh•, it was flattcrin':': to have nnr autOgraphs sought, as if we were celebrities. I had another pleasant and interesting contact with American students when we visited the city of Portland in the northcasternment state of the United States. Maine. \Ve had a hcan scheclnlc of activities · prepared for i1~ lw the \\!omen's Legislative Council ·ancl the Ja\'cces dmin~ onr three.da\" \'isit of Portland, aml one of thcsC wa~ our talk before the stnclents of \\'csthrook Junior College, an cxtlusivc school for girls. "'11cn the co1lcge learned that a Filipino and a Formosan were in town, a special discussion-meeting was called by the students' International Relations Club to hear us. We did not want to disappoint them bv clcc\ininiz to speak as we did in Ro.~ton a week earlier. So T\,fr. Jao and mvsclf each nrncle a mental outline of \,,hat we would talk about and gathered enough courage to face a fair-size crowd of American coeds from the platform of the college auditorium. At the table, Mr. Jao and mvse!f were seated at opposite ends, ~·hile between ns were seated the panel of interrogators, who were leading members of the Jnternation;1l Relations Club.

One of the questions I have not forgotten was: "I-low do the Filipinos feel about the Korean situation?" GraveIv, I answered them: "Right now Filipino boys arc fighting, and perhaps cl\'ing, side by side with America~~ hovs in the battlefields of Korea. Fo'r a moment there was a hush. Then a warm applanse broke out from the platform and the andicnce. It wa5 one of my most unforgettable mn· n:icnts during my entire visit in Amenca. There were manv other interesting and pleasant contaC!s I had with. students in America as we went from one part of the country to another but space limitations won't al'ow me to tell you all about them here and perhaps, too, you nre by now bored and tired of rending this necessarily "I'' account of a Carolinian's globe-trotting experiences. .. i;~ ...

FRANCIS THOMPSON THE nationa] grandeur of man is subverted today by the pernicio1;1s, esoteric doctrines of Social Utilitarianism, and the amoral, if not immoral, behavior of our leaders in every phase of life is a potent stimulus to the moral failure of man. This is exemplified by the aphorism, non serviam - such was Lucifer's sin - heard on almost every street corner, in every store, in every classroom, and manifested by man's steadily growing unhappiness. The aberrations of the Moral Law arc inevitably plunging us deeper into the aby~s of ,Moral Nihilism where, of necessity, the monster of Immoral Despotism mies. ~~:1~e d~r~~~at:1:10:1~z!!~~n.~~~ b!~~ but in the opinion and judgment of each orie; pl#JCJS11re is tire measure of wlrat is lawful; and given a code of morality which can have little or no power to restrain or quiet the unruly propensities of man, a way is open to universal corruption."

I-Jere lies the heart of the struggle, and it requires of each indi\'idual a complete, renewed avowal of the dig· nih· and intrinsic sacredness of man, a.nd of his inalienable and God-given rights! It is upon the old faith and not the new paganism that the maintenance of social justice and personal freedom depends.

And still, Fr. Baumgartner confided !hat more whscriptions to onlstanding magazines and newspapers will be had in due course lhe~e suc)>;1ge > cccding month~. Auspicious policies hm•c been laid down in the hope of properly adminis. tering the Libr.irv's functions to the stuc!ents. Such Policies of administrat:on ultimately boil down to an end which Fr. Baumgartner expressed concisely in this wise: "To bring the hooks to the students, and the students to the hooks." This end is expected to he realized by the cffectfre application of policies which Father Baum~artner enumerated as follows: First, the administration has never :;~k:j1~: ~~ri~~t~f S~l~~;i ~~~ t~~: hsfy the needs of the dJfercnt COllr· scs for reference and research. "\Ve spe!1t more than onr budget in books besides expense for maintenance which has an extra budget. But import control pro,·idcs a bottlcncxk in the early arrival of shipments. Packages of books that had been ordered more than a yt>ar ago, had arrived m'onths ago, and ha,·e only a short time ago hccn released." Second, the Lihran· pcr.mnnel h::l\'c a!wan cndcamrecl to scn'e the student~ in the b~t way possible. This encoura~s the student-; to patronize the Libra~· all the more, and will make them reali7.e that the Libran· is theirs for reasonable and effective' use. To this effect, efforts ha\'C been exerted to make the students who use the Li. bran· maintain silem::e. "The students, howe\'Cr. are liable to n1isundcr~tand thC insistence on silence bciup maintained in the reading room of the l.ibran·. Tiu;,· seem to think that if the others don't show sigm that thcv arc clisturbed, no harm is done. Bui that is not right. In the first place, if some start talking, others will follow. So that pretty soon, the lihra~· will ha,·e a whole racket going on.

'J\rn da\'S before this "reunion awa,· from home." hmVC\'Cr, I had a vcr\· interesting experience with Amcricai1 high school slndcnts. Yon sec, I, toi;:cthcr ,~·ith my tra\'elling partner, 1\fr. Yu \\'c1 Jao of Taipeh, Formosa, (he wa~ cch1<"atcd in the University of Edinbnrgh). was a gncst at a corlvention of high ~chool students from all O\"Cr Boston - hundreds of them, all teen-agers. bo~·s :md girls. The gathering was a h11ffct.cliscmsion org<inized hr the United Council on \Vorkl Affair.~. our host organization during our onC-\\'Cck sla\· in Bo.~ton. After the lmffct-mpper; at which we were seated amon~ the st11dents, the only Asians in the group, the question "Is \Var \\Tith Russia Ine\"itable" was discussed P<igc 20 by Prof. Green of Massachus"etts Institute of Technology nnd Dr. Claude of IJarvarcl. I've never seen a group of ,·mmg people so interested in such a :'worlcl-shaking" s-nbject as these youngsters. It would make us older students ashamed of ourselves not taking as much interest in international affairs as thc'ie high school students. Yon should have heard the intelligent and earnest questions they shot at Prof. Green and Dr. Clande. Even college graduates would he stumped by them. After the lively open forum, at which C\'crybodr was cager to pnrticipatc, we were asked to say a few words. lmt we declined as we were not prepared. That, howC\'Cr, did not stop rvfr. Dan Fenn, Director of the Council, from announcing that "yon may sneak up to them (meaning us) and ask them qncstions about their countries." That did it. IJerc they came upon us, asking a lot of questions about the Philippines and Formosa, timidly at first but getting holder when they found that we were responsive to their friendliness. A pretty, intelligent girl near me asked me, rather shyly, to sign on her autograph book. I obliged, and before we knew it, we were signing our names on autograph books, notebooks, books, pros;:rams. napkin.~ •. and what. ha,·c you. Frankh•, it was flattcrin':': to have nnr autOgraphs sought, as if we were celebrities.

"'11cn the co1lcge learned that a Filipino and a Formosan were in town, a special discussion-meeting was called by the students' International Relations Club to hear us. We did not want to disappoint them bv clcc\ininiz to speak as we did in Ro.~ton a week earlier. So T\,fr. Jao and mvsclf each nrncle a mental outline of \,,hat we would talk about and gathered enough courage to face a fair-size crowd of American coeds from the platform of the college auditorium. At the table, Mr. Jao and mvse!f were seated at opposite ends, ~·hile between ns were seated the panel of interrogators, who were leading members of the Jnternation;1l Relations Club.

MORAL NIHILISM I speak a heavy thing, 0 patience most so1rowlul ol Jaughter! Lo, the hour is at hanrJ lor the troubling ol lat1J, AnJ teJ shall be the breaking ol the waves. FRANCIS THOMPSON THE nationa] grandeur of man is subverted today by the pernicio1;1s, esoteric doctrines of Social Utilitarianism, and the amoral, if not immoral, behavior of our leaders in every phase of life is a potent stimulus to the moral failure of man. This is exemplified by the aphorism, non serviam - such was Lucifer's sin - heard on almost every street corner, in every store, in every classroom, and manifested by man's steadily growing unhappiness. The aberrations of the Moral Law arc inevitably plunging us deeper into the aby~s of ,Moral Nihilism where, of necessity, the monster of Immoral Despotism mies. ~~:1~e d~r~~~at:1:10:1~z!!~~n.~~~ b!~~ but in the opinion and judgment of each orie; pl#JCJS11re is tire measure of wlrat is lawful; and given a code of morality which can have little or no power to restrain or quiet the unruly propensities of man, a way is open to universal corruption."

These arc few among many moral errors which have given ns om Pyrrhic \'ictory, and are leading us so very quickly to complete Moral Nihilism. Bnt the answer, the onlv ;1mwcr to our problem has been suCcinctlr gi,·e11 us by Om I Iolv Father, Pope Prns: "Man endowed with a social nature, is p:aced 11ere on earlli in order that 11e may spend his life, in .mciety, and under a11 c111thority or· clained by God; that he ma)' dew'!lof> and evolve to t11e furt all hi.~ fa. cultie.~ to t11e prait.e and t?lory of his Creator; and that by fulfilling t11e duties of his station, lie may attain to temporal and etemal lwppiness." I-Jere lies the heart of the struggle, and it requires of each indi\'idual a complete, renewed avowal of the dig· nih· and intrinsic sacredness of man, a.nd of his inalienable and God-given rights! It is upon the old faith and not the new paganism that the maintenance of social justice and personal freedom depends. By prayer and stn· dy, for nemo clclt guod non ha/Jet (no one can give what he docs not pos· sess}. we nms~ prepare ourselves to rc\'italizc the fading memory of Ch~ist ian principles.

Let each of ns answer the call to heroism, for '"to wliom muclr is given of 11im m11cl1 slwll be expected." It is imperative we do so.

The PC'.lcifie typhoon had no appel· lation and that made it hard for the U.S. Navy to tackle it. So the U.S. Na'1' \.\1eather Observatory at Guam baptized the storms and typhoons in the Pacific. For the information of suspicious people, the Observatory advanced two reasons for naming typhoons: it camouflaged information and it facilitated the identification of disturbances. In relaying information ahout typhoons to the Navy ships. the Observatory at Guam replaced the word "typhoon" with a name so that even if the messages sent were inter· ceptcd by the enemv, it would rem:iin meaningless to him .· If more than one typhoon occurred at the same time, names would facilitate their identific:ition.
