Georgetown University Offers
Two Victory Scholarships
Four Other Awards Are Limited
To Candidates From District

Edward ]. Callahan, jr.. college
senior from Minneapolis, Mimi, last
week won the annual competition,
for the Merrick Debate Medal. His
father, a member of the 1917 class,
also won the same medal, highest
academic prize offered by the
college
The competition is held between
members of the Philodemic Society,
oldest college debating club in the
United States. The first contest
was held 6s years ago. The medal
was founded in honor of Richard
T. Merrick, q leader Of the District
of Columbia Bar, Georgetown
alumnus and father-in-law of Dean
George E. Hamilton of the George
town Law School.
The 1912 debate was on the ques-
ton, Resolved, That after the war
there shall be a federated union of
democracies." Mr.. Callahan, who
is president of the Philodemic So
ciety this year, supported the af-
firmative side of the question with
John M. Mclaughlin OF Massachu-
sets. They received the vote of the
judges, Mr.. Callahan having been
singled out as the best individual
speaker of the evening.
The negative team was composed
Of Edward T. Hogan, jr., of Rhode
Island and John F. McArt, jr., of
the District of Columbia. All the
boys are seniors.
Dramatic Club Suspends.
The college dramatic group,
known as the Mask and Bauble
Club, has faded from the picture
for the duration of the war, or at
least until the situation is better in
hand. The club had performed
since its organization after the World
War. At that time the club spon-
sored only Shakespearean produc-
tions. AS these waned in popularity.
it launched a successful period of
oneact plays interspersed with such
productions as Abraham Lincoln.

resent her native land as one of its
10th century beauties.
A first glimpse of this modern

for her impressive academic and
legal background. She is PhD. in
addition to being graduate of
Havana University Law School and
4 brilliant young member of the

fore its courts.
During her student days in

Senorita Gatell is studying the

The operations were based on a
theoretical Nazi invasion aimed at
seizing control of two northeastern
main waterways, the st. Lawrence
and Hudson Rivers.
For purposes of this maneuver it
was assumed that the enemy already
had occupied Montreal and was ad-
vancing up the Ottawa to occupy
Ottawa, the national capital. On
the Hudson. he had advanced as far
as Albany, thus being in control of
both New York and Montreal.
Everything turned out all right,
though, for it was ruled that today's
attackers caught the invader by sur
prise and overwhelmed him. The
victors pulled down the Swastika
from the City Hall and replaced 1t
with the Union Jack.
