Educafion-Business day is the
counterpart to Business-Education
day, which was held on August
28. On Business-Education day
fhe educators visited the local
business establishments in an effort to learn more about the
methods of business operation
and the problems facing businessmen. Now, on Education-
Business day, the businessmen
and women, and the members of
the clergy, visited the educational institutions of Rochester in an
effort to learn more about the
educational problems of Rochester schools and to gain a better
understanding of the Rochester
educational system.
The E-B day program began
with a luncheon at the Lourdes
high school at which the Right
Rev. Louis D. O'Day, superintendent of the Catholic schools, gave
the welcoming, address. Mr. A. C.
Hagen, president of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, gave
the response for the business
group, and a short talk was given by Mr. N. D. Cory, the superintendent of the Rochester public
schools.
Following    the    luncheon    at
gourdes,    the    businessmen    and
jjwomen visited the various educational   institutions  to   which   they
NIGHT! had' been   assigned,  where  they
 were  taken   on   conducted  tours.

Fullbright Scholar
Relates Experiences
At the.convocation in Coffman
Hall on October eighth, a one-
act play entitled, "For Distinguished Service," was presented by the
Rajesters. The play, written by
Florence Clay Knox, featured the
plot of the eternal triangle with
a particularly vicious angle. The
distinguished service medal given
by Katherine Burton (Charlotte
Blumers) to herself was in no way
military, but was well deserved
for her excellent performance.
Margaret Lee appropriates the
box of chocolates for her convincing portrayal of Ethel Harding. Knowing what was sure to
happen, the maid and the director "lifted" the bottom layer of
sweets before curtain time.
The cast was composed' of
Katherine Burton (fhe other woman), Charalette Blumers, Mrs.
June Harding (the wife), Margaret
Lee, and Mary (the maid), Lilian
Von Osten. The play was directed by Miss Flora McGhee, dramatics and speech instructor.

Seventeen members of I.R.C.
visited St. Mary's College at Winona on Monday, September 28,
in response to an invitation to
attend a lecture on Italy given
by the Italian Consul-General,
Mr. Piero Guadagnini, who spoke
on the topic, "Italy Today," in
which he emphasized the economic situation as it has developed
in  Italy since the war.
Mr. Guadagnini began with an
appeal to the American people
for understanding and then went
on to explain that, through a
stable and wise government, the
energy of the Italian people, and
the generous help of the United
States, a great miracle of reconstruction  has occurred in  Italy.
Italian workers are receiving
belter wages than at any time
since the war, he said, and consequently they are eating better
and have more money to spend
on themselves. Over-population
is, however, still the largest economic problem facing the Italian
government at the time, for there
are more employable workers
than there are positions in the
industries. Emigration has been
tried as a solution, but because
most countries have adopted laws
that limit the number of immigrants, very few people actually
leave   Italy each  year.
Trade with the United States
was also a point in Mr. Guadag-
nini's report. He said that Italy
does not want charity, but that
she does want trade and, to sum
up Italy's situation, he used the
quotation from Adlai Stevenson:
"What Asia wants is rice and respect."
Communism was brought up in
a questioning session. One student asked why there were so
many communists in Italy, and Mr.
Guadagnini replied, "Out of forty-seven million people in Italy, at
least ten million have absolutely
nothing to lose under a change
and possibly something to gain."
Those who attended from J. C.
were LeRoy Christopherson, Victor
Batzel, Polly Sorida, Henry Johns,
Neil Anderson, David Dunn, Kathryn Joyce, David Kruger, Loey
Mae Lange, Helen Lawniczak, Jim
Lehnherr, La Vonne Nelson, Jerry
Olerud, Duane Rasmussen, Donald Riess, Jon Richmond and
David Waldemar and Mr. and
Mrs. Bateman.
