Catholic Students

Despite the vacation the Catholic Students' Guild has had very good attendances at recent meetings, and some lively discussions have been held. Topical subjects certainly promote discussion, as everybody wants to say something, and from that point of view the discussion on "Communism" and "Catholic Social Teaching" were a huge success. After Bruce Cameron and Joe Doolan had led the discussion on "Communism," other speakers dealt with many aspects of the subject, the discussion leading up to the social teachings of the Catholic Church. This latter subject was discussed at the next meeting, Miss Marie Finlay and Peter O'Meaghan being the leaders.

A recent lecture of interest to students was that given by Countess Wodzicka on "Post-War Relief in Poland." The Countess gave a very vivid description of present-day Poland and showed what a vast task reconstruction would be Polish students in particular had suffered, and assistance from other countries would be required to provide teachers and also to restore educational institutions to their former condition.

I.S.S. Effort

The dance held for the I.S.S. on 31st July was a great social success and the financial result was very gratifying. With the net door takings, donations and competition proceeds, the sum of £13/10/0 was raised. The Catholic Students' Guild committee wishes to thank all who helped in any way to make this effort worth while.
