This year's work is expected Protest Backed By Student Body By EDWARD COOK The faculty and student body of Siena College rose in mass approval to the words of the Very Rev. Mark Kennedy, OFM, President of the College, as he described the plight of Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty, at the general assembly last Wednesday. "Like the Prophets of old and the Bishops of past ages, Joseph Cardi¬ nal Mindszenty, Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary, has stood up for his people and flock, and with them for the old and venerable nation of Hungary," Fr. Mark said. "The Cardinal has dared to oppose tlie New Man of Sin, Communism, in the form of the present government which usurped power from the truly democratic goverrmient of Hungary with which our government had signed a treaty of peace. "In the person of the Cardinal, Hungary itself is attacked and all western civilization stands on trial. 'Strike the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered,' says the Prophet Zachary in the 13th chapter, seventh verse. This is the real intention of the tribunal which condemned the Cardinal and his fellow-defendants, but they forget that God has said by the mouth of the same Prophet: 'They shall call on My name and I v/ill hear them. I will say: Thou art my people, and they shall say: The Lord is my God.' "The voice of all men and creeds calls to High Heaven and already their prayer is heard in the protests that are sounded around the world. "In my own name, then, and that of the faculty and students of Siena College, let me add our voice to that of our Bishop, the Most Rev. Edmund F. Gibbons, and that of our Metropolitan, Francis Cardinal Spellman, of our Governor, the Honorable Thomas E. Dewey, and of our fellow citizens calling on our State Department to take up the cause of freedom and register our protest with appropriate action before the government of Hungary on this violation of the rights of humanity and religion. Let us remember the time when an American battleship, the Missouri, rescued a Hungarian patriot by the name of Louis Kossouth and brought him to our shores, the shores of freedom, in December, 1851, after the revolution of 1848-49 against the Austrian-Hungarian Empire."

All material will be ready by Feb. 15. Approximately 900 pictures will go into this year's Saga. No ad¬ vertising will be accepted. The Rev. Brendan Lynch, OFM, has been named new faculty ad¬ viser to the yearbook. He replaces the Rev. John Weaver, OFM, who has been transferred. Col.

Costello, assistant editor; Richard E. Hughes and John F. O'Connor, advisers and Leo A. Polinsky, busi¬ ness manager. The Saga is expected to hit the streets around Commencement Day. In Sympathy The faculty and student body extend their sympathy to Alex Benishake, '41 and Mrs. Beni¬ shake, on the recent death of their baby. Sigma Omega Ice Frolic Slick Deal Sigma Omega, the night school organization, held the first snow frolic of the year last Friday eve¬ ning. The event took place on the ice rink and later in the Snack Bar. In spite of the poor weather, a good crowd was on hand to enjoy the dancing, bowling and skating. Peggy Arndt was elected Snow Queen and a gold crown was placed on her head during coronation cere¬ monies. Mary Burke was chairman of the affair and Edith Cavaratta, Faith Currier and Peg Kennedy made up the refreshment committee. Tickets and entertainment were handled by Ruth Glickman, Peggy Arndt, Doris Gabriels, Joan Kalter and Mary Ryan. No Science Meeting The Rev. Ralph A. Kennedy, OFM, chairman of the Siena Social Science Forum, has an¬ nounced there will be no meet¬ ing of the Forum this month be¬ cause of the between-semesters vacation. There will be a meeting of the Forum the second Friday in March as usual, Fr. Ralph said. Fr. Brendan Takes New CampusJob The Rev. Brendan A. Lynch, OFM, has been appointed to the position of spiritual director of the college to succeed the Rev. John Weaver, OFM. Fr. Brendan came to Siena in 1941 after his ordination at Holy Name College in Washington, D. C. He attended Manhattan College and St. Bonaventure before being or¬ dained. When he arrived in 1941 he be¬ came assistant to the dean of dis¬ cipline and in 1943 he was appointed dean of discipline. He held that ! position until 1947. Along with his duties as councilor for the spiritual needs of the stu¬ dents, Fr. Brendan is moderator of the junior class, adviser for the year book, and temporary moder¬ ator of the senior class. One of the most outstanding undertakings of the college, the organization of the Anti-Commun¬ ism Committee in Catholic colleges, was started by Fr. Brendan and much of the success connected with it is a result of his tireless work. He is a member of the American Society of Mathematics and a fourth degree Knight of Columbus. Fr. John Is Transferred To Colorado The Rev. John Weaver, OFM, spiritual director of the college, has been transfered to St. Elizabeth Friary in Denver, Colo. Fr. John attended St. Joseph's Seraphic Seminary, Callicoon, N. Y. He was ordained at Catholic Uni¬ versity in 1938. His first assignment was mission work at Lenoir, N. C, from 1939 until 1941. He then came to Siena as a philosophy teacher and became active in student guidance activities. His most important assignment, however, was that of spiritual director at the college. It was in this position that he endeared him¬ self to the student body. Fr. John always put the spiritual needs of the students before all his various activities.
