Catholic Students Guild

Catholic Students Guild

The Catholic Students Guild has so far had two meetings this term. The Annual General Meeting, preceded by a buffet tea and a talk to freshers by the president of the Students' Association took place on the first Sunday of the term. There were 65 members present and a great many of them took part in discussing Guild affairs. The evening was rounded off by a Social.

On Sunday, 20th March, Henry Connor presided over an attendance of 45 members at the second meeting. After Benediction and a discussion on general business, the evening took the form of a Brains Trust. Those on whom the title of "Brain" was conferred for the evening were Rev. Fr. Durning. S.M., M.A., Kevin O'Brien. M. Com.. Myles O'Connor. M.Sc, and Ted Keating, M.A, Questionmaster Connor popped the posers in the best McCullough fashion. In the earlier stages, question of the "quiz" type, but later "discuss" questions were featured and a considerable part of the evening was devoted to a discussion on the morality of Grahame Greene's novels and on the Mindzsenty Trial. Once again supper and social concluded procedings.

The next meeting will take place on April 3 when Pat Walsh will lead a discussion on the Catholic Youth Movement. Catholic students in particular are cordially invited to take part in the discussion on this live issue. The Committee also advises that it now has a pick-up that works and that an enjoyable dance will follow discussion.
