Siena Greets Fr. Mathias; Noted Alumnus Returns
The Very Rev. Mathias Faust, OFM, Procurator General of
^he Order of Friars Minor with residence in Rome, Italy, ii
campus " ¦ ~ "
visiting the campus of Siena Col lege in the capacity of Canonical Visitor for the Province of the Most Holy Name.
Fr. Mathias' official duties are singular in the sense that he is re¬ turning to scenes familiar to him, inasmuch as he held the office of Minister Provincial for the Province of the Most Holy Name through four terms.
It was during one of these periods of administration that Siena College was founded, and his knowledge of Siena reaches back to its beginnings. Needless to say, the growth and ex¬ pansion of Siena are far beyond the proportions envisioned in the days of its inauguration.
Over the 50 years of his life as a Friar, Fr. Mathias has held many important offices in the Franciscan Order, and these offices have car¬ ried him to all parts of the world. Besides being Canonical Visitor for the six American Provinces in the United States at various times, he has also been Canonical Visitof in Brazil, Ireland, Germany, and even in China. The successful issue of these various assignments has brought him the honor of being elected Procurator General smd thus he now represents the Order of Friars Minor at the Vatican.
Amidst all this administrative activity not the least of his laurels is that of being an alumnus of Siena College with academic honors. At the Commencement of June, 1948, Siena College saw fit to confer upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, and thus the Presi¬ dent and Faculty as well as the Student Body welcome Fr. Mathias into our midst as one of our very own.
Frosh to Have Hayride May 19th
A hayride in the Helderbergs, sponsored by the Freshman Class, will be held on May 19.
The ride will be in the vicinity of Thacher Park where refreshments will be served. On the return trip it is expected that the group will stop at Osterhout's for dancing.
Tickets for the event will be 75 cents per couple and may be ob¬ tained May 9-11. Porter Kirkwood and Art Wendth are co-chairmen of the committee.
MRS. STAHL HONORED
Mrs. John J. Stahl, a member of the Siena Woman's Club, was elected recently by the Times-Union to receive a Mother's Day orchid.
SPEED LIMIT
Sienese are reminded that the speed limit on the campus is 20 miles per hour. Offenders are sub¬ ject to a fine.
Troy Concert To Assist In Student Relief
Following its huge success in Utica, the Siena Band under the baton of the Rev. Paul J. Oligny, OFM, will present a concert at the Music Hall in Troy on Tuesday, May 17, at 8:15 p.m.
The concert, given under the auspices of the Siena Student For¬ eign Relief Committee, will feature Pianist Tom Carroll, a clarinet quartet and a saxophone quintet along with some specialty numbers by the band.
This will be the closing event of a very successful Foreign Student Relief Program held at Siena this year. The committee is grateful to all students for the fine coopera¬ tion shown during the campaign. Anxious to make this final Foreign Relief effort a success, students are urged to cooperate in order to make the concert a crowning endeavor.
The needs for Foreign Student Relief are expressed by these recent Berlin statistics:
10% of the students have TB.
20% of the students are under¬ weight more than 20%.
40-50 %o of the students report daily for medical treatment.
50% of the students have no winter coats or winter shoes.
To the privation common to all students in Germany is added the grief and hardship of no home, no family and painful isolation as far as the 4,073 Catholic DP students are concerned.
The Relief Sub-Secretariate of Pax Romana has been moved to write: "Whatever we do, it won't be enough."
Italian Books Are On the Way
The Italian Club has sent to Rome for the Italian Encyclopedia which is expected to be presented to the library very soon. A dinner is be¬ ing planned for those who con¬ tributed to this project.
On Wednesday, May 11, the club will hold a business meeting in the Navy Building during fourth period to discuss final details regarding the encyclopedia.

Sophomore Weekend Is Hit As Crowd Fills GibbonsHall
By ED CAVANAGH
The Sophomore Weekend broke records in more ways than one. For the first time in Siena social history a sports dance and tea dance parlay is vying with the grandeur of the formal Proms for the most outstanding dance award. It was by far the best in¬ formal dance of the year.
The jam-packed gym, in a flowery setting, swayed to the smooth and danceable music of Les Elgart. His selections were letter perfect for the occasion although the "hippsters" and the "bop-boys" were limited a little.
One of the highlights of the Fri¬
day dance was the selection of a Queen. A committee ot sophomores had a difflcult time as they nar¬ rowed the fleld of beauties down to Jeanne Coakley who will represent Siena in the Albany Tulip Festival competition for Tulip Queen. The decision was popular and Jeanne should carry Siena far into the con¬ test. Bob Clark, familiar campus figure, was selected to carry the (Cont. on Page 8)
Harry Balafonte Obtained For "Starlight Prom" Intermission
After several weeks of contacting the top trios and vocal groups in the country, the "Starlight Prom" committee has
finally engaged intermission enter¬ tainment.
Harry Balafonte, who sounds more like Billy Eckstine than Billy Eckstine, will be the featured en¬ tertainer for the "spring classic." Harry has recently been the feat¬ ured artist at "Bop City," formerly the "Royal Roost," in New York City.
The committee feels that this type of entertainment will be more en¬ joyable for everyone inasmuch as a vocalist is strictly entertainment.
Bids to the Prom were sold out before the ink on them was dry. The juniors received the highest percentage of bids with an equal number of bids being given to the other three classes and the night students.
The decorations and the favors are being kept a deep secret. Only the men who are in charge of these committees know. But they all predict that Gibbons Hall will be more beautiful than ever before.
Russ Gives Rules For Campaign
The annual student election of officers will be May 23, 24 and 25. The deadline to submit names of prospective candidates for the vari¬ ous Student Senate and class offices must be submitted by May 13, it was announced by Don Russ, Stu¬ dent Senate president.
Russ outlined the regulations and proper procedure to be followed and emphasized the strict observance of the following rules:
1. To be eligible for Student Senate president or vice-president, a candidate must be a senior.
2. For the office of secretary or treasurer, he must be a junior.
3. The two representatives-at- large may be chosen from any class.
4. The various class officers, of course, must be members of the particular class they are to repre¬ sent.
5. To submit a candidate or an entire slate, a minimum of 25 names must be obtained endorsing these men.
6. All candidates must be in good academic standing. If any pros¬ pective candidate is found to be on probation he is automatically dis¬ qualified and if he is one of a slate, the entire slate is disqualified.
7. The lists must be brought to the Dean of Discipline's office on or before Friday, May 13.
8. As far as possible, the slates should use the same party names, i.e., "Progressive," "Liberal," etc., as in previous years.
Russ further announced that a reviewing board composed of seniors will determine the final qualifica¬ tions of the candidates. A list of (Cont. on Page 12)
HEY!!
It is the intention of The Siena News to publish a weekly bulletin which will serve as a medium for all campus organizations and activi¬ ties.
The purpose of the bulletin will be to serve as a calendar of events for the week. To make a complete listing of all events possible it will be necessary for The News to have the full cooperation of all organiza¬ tion presidents and moderators.
The bulletin will help promote in¬ terest in campus activities plus the added convenience of being able to find out in a moment's notice what meeting or other function is taking place where and when.
It would be an impossibility, how¬ ever, for The News to contact all campus activities and find out what their plans for the week are unless much of the information comes from the organizations themselves.
It will be to their benefit to let The News know what they're plan¬ ning so the event will be well at¬ tended.
