Songs, Fiddling Enliven Avenue
Singing and fiddling a ballad about a Shanghai rooster and a spotted hog, 76-year-old Michael “Pop” Cruise led an impromptu hoedown on the sidewalk in front of Bovard auditorium yesterday morning.
Sporting a long white beard and a shiny black serge suit set off by an orange tie. Pop held a crowd of several hundred curious students as he sang folk songs and played his ancient fiddle.
Pennies, nickels, dimes, and even quarters were tossed into Pop's silk hat around which he jigged in a slow shuffle as he sang about mountains, roosters, lonely lovers, and dying cowhands.
TWO-BIT SHUFFLE As the crowd fed the kitty. Pop gave his all. The heavy thud of a 25-cent piece would increase his shuffle and bring a merry twinkle to his lively eyes. After about 45 minutes of entertaining and retrieving the crowd's donations. Pop called it a day and sat down upon the Knight bench to catch his breath and reminisce about old times.

EX-TEACHER
Nine of Pop s children became school teachers. He believes that the school teaching ability was inherited. because he taught school in Gilead, Neb. for ten jears.
Making a living is not difficult for a Jack-of-all-trades like Pop Cruise. Prospector, fiddler, movie actor, school teacher, and artists' model are among his favorite voca-, tions. His first love is gold mining and in the winter he works his jlaim south of Tucson. Ariz.
In the summer, when it is too hot for mining. “Pop" makes his way by posing for art classes and playing his fiddle on street comers and trains. He has posed ^t SC . before and was seeking work as a model when he decided to utilize his fiddle talent for the students yesterday morning.

“The measures of Catholicism are not those bishops and priests whose lives betrayed the triumph of nature over grace, but those bishops and priests whose lives were reflections of a vivifying faith triumphant.”
Speaking in Bowne hall yesterday the Rev. George Dunne of Loyola university talked on the church through the centuries in the fifth of the Panorama of Religion lecture series.
“I am persuaded," Father Dunne continued “that there is often misapprehension, by no means limited to non-Catholics. about the role of the church in the world. The mis-apj rehension consists in thinking that* -^.lidity of her claims stands or falls upoi*.the record of her civilizing accompi^ -nents and cultural achievements.”
“There are many deep insights into truth.” the 42-year-old clergyman continued, “to be found in the Hindu theory.’ He explained how Catholic theologians arrive at the truth by using the scientific method, and determining whether a certain hypothesis conforms to revelation and reason.
An active supporter of labor and racial minority groups in Los Angeles, Father Dunne further said “The proper and specific function of the Church is to witness, to sanctify, and to work for the sanctification of men by offering to them the means of their sanctification established by Christ Himself.”

“Conditions in the Student Union cafeteria are on the rough side,” Mr. Fisher said, “but the management is faced with the impossible task of serving too many students with too few facilities.

Clarifying the relationship of the McDonnell restaurant chain to the Student Union cafeteria. Mr. Fisher said the cafeteria is operated by the university and is not a business concession of outside interests.
“Mr. McDonnell is merely an employee. or agent, of the university who renders expert advice and technical know-how to the university on cafeteria operation.”
NO REDUCTIONS Replying to criticism of the quality of food served, Mr. Fisher said that improvement over present standards would necessarily result in higher prices to the cafeteria patrons.
•While we are unable to answer all complaints and criticism at pres- j ent with direct and immediate ac- j tion,” he added, “we expect to have a much improved cafeteria arrangement for the student body by next year.”

Kotler Named Safety Head
Concern for campus safety during present overcrowding came to a head as the student senate at its last meeting empowered Al Kotler to form an educational campaign committee.
When formed the committee will bring to student attention the dan-I gers of reckless drivers and pedes-j trians, of fire, and of earthquakes,
| Kotler said yesterday. It will stress the urgency of special care during present-day campus conditions.
Under part one of the tentative plan, both drivers and pedestrians will be urged to observe safety precautions. Heedless walking will be attacked as strongly as heedless driving, Kotler ^
Fires become Jn ever-present danger with classrooms crowded as they are, Kotler said. Above all, panic must be avoided. This can largely be prevented by a knowledge of all fire escapes and exits. The committee will aim at providing this knowledge.
“Leading scientists tel us that there is at least one more earthquake due this year,” Kotler said. “While the chances are against its being serious, we can't take chances.”
First direct action of the committee will be to cover campus with informative posters covering phases of these problems, Kotler said. Service groups will be asked to donate their efforts.
