MARTIN BURKE Loyola Philosopher Tells His j Forum Audience About Capitalism WWL CONTINUES FORUM BROADCASTS False Philosophy Shown As Root of Modern Evils Putting his hand on the crux j of the cause of depression and { misery in modern life, the Rev. Martin Burke, S.J., head of Loyola's philosophy department, con-, tinued his discussion of the economic situation at the philosophy i forum held at 7 p. m. in Marquette Hall Sunday. "Capital looks upon labor as nothing more than a means to the advancement of its business," said 1 Father Bui-ke. "Just as they buy j their machines and their cattle ab cheaply as they can, so they buy! their labor as cheaply as possible. Despite the pious faces and public libraries of capitalism, it has j forgotten that labor has any right whatsoever. Thus, with the labor j saving machines and heaven knows what else, at the end of 1932 there were nineteen million unemployed in the United States. When you see the condition of the dependents of these men, then you realize that justice has not been done." Father Burke traced the effects of the falise philosophy of the spoil system in many human en- j deavors. From the Chicago White Sox to the condition of school teachers in rural Louisiana, the effects of the system were brought to light. The musical part of the program, under the direction of Dr. Ernest E. Schuyten, dean of the Loyola College of Music, was taken care of by the Loyola College of Music symphonic ensemble. Selections from Grieg were played during the forum. Arthur Sharon, acting as master of ceremonies, presented to Father Burke the questions of the audience. Father Burke will continue his discussion of this problem in Marquette Hall next Sunday at 7 p.m. The program was, as usual, broadcast over Loyola's radio station, WWL.

"I'm Gonna Walk On the Grass, Tra-La, Tra-La" (By College News Service) Washington, Pa., Jan. 26.C— When signs recently appeared on the campus of Washington and Jefferson College saying "Please Walk on the Grass," students were inclined to put it down as the work of some wag. But Dr. Ralph C. Hutchinson, president of the college, revealed this week that the signs really mean what they say. "The campus belongs to the students," he said, "so why shouldn't they walk on the grass? I want to walk on it, myself."
