We have noticed a lack of organization in the attempt to
produce an effective dialogue Mass on campus. Last week, at
the eleven o’clock Mass, there was neither an organist nor a
microphone for the lector, who therefore could not be heard
throughout most of the chapel. There was no music and little
dialogue, making the Mass practically ineffective.
To alleviate this lack of organization, The Hilltopper sug-
gests that the campus clubs or organizations, including each
of the four classes, led by their officers, take over the directing
of the dialogue Masses. A different club could take each Sun-
day or perhaps one club could take the nine o’clock Mass and
one club the eleven o’clock Mass each Sunday. This would give
the club’s members a chance to work together in an activity
other than their scattered social events and, we hope, increase
the effect of the dialogue Mass.
The clubs should make sure someone will be present to play
the organ at both masses. They should choose songs known to
the student body and play them in a “singable” key. Several
club members should be grouped around the organ to initiate
the singing, and other members should mingle with the con-
gregation to prompt them in singing.
The club should provide ushers to pass out copies of the
dialogue Mass cards, so that people will have a copy of the
responses. A lector should be chosen who can lead the responses
and direct the congregation in the responses as well as in
sitting, standing and kneeling.
In an effort to establish this movement on campus, The Hill-
topper staff will direct the nine and eleven o’clock Masses this
Sunday, December 13. We hope that some of the other campus
organizations will take note and follow our lead, making the
new dialogue Mass effective.
Christmas—a time of year when spirits are gay, decorations
abound and love fills the hearts of all. That is the way a
Christmas should be, spent with family, friends and loved ones.
Christmas should be a time of relaxation, a time to think about
the coming of one’s Savior and a time to imitate Christ.
We shouldn’t become so wrapped up in the commercial as-
pect of Christmas that we forget the season’s true meaning.
Let the spirit of the Christ child, born long ago in Bethlehem,
permeate our minds and hearts throughout the Christmas sea-
son and the rest of the new year.
During the season of Advent, we should be preparing our-
selves—both mentally and spiritually—for Christmas, making
sure that our Christmas isn’t merely an external show.
The Hilltopper would like to take this opportunity to wish
each and every member of the St. Edward’s community a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

ary society is creating. Mrs. Strom
tates that one of the major im-
oressions of the show was that
‘the photographers are moving
into a field almost abandoned by
the painters, that of the recogniz-
ible world about us, of people and
places viewed with a discerning
and affectionate eye. We still
need that kind of art.”
Photographic Exhibition
Explores the Avant-garde

at St. Edward’s university, an institution of higher learning
conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross (CSC). Opinions AS

Is photography really a “fine
art?” This question has been ar-
dently debated ever since the ad-
vent of the camera. The exhibit
“Photography in the Fine Arts”
presents a strong, silent argument
for the affirmative.
Under the direction of (Mrs.)
Elisabeth Strom, fine arts pro-
gram coordinator, this avant-
garde innovation in the realm of
the arts will be displayed on our
campus beginning Sunday, Jan.
10.
The idea of such an exhibit was
conceived by the distinguished
Ivan Dmitri “to encourage ac-
ceptance of photography as an
art and to stimulate both the ac-
quisition and exhibition of photo-
graphic collections by national
art museums.” Composed of en-
tries selected from such contribu-
tors as the Professional Photog-
raphers of America, the American
Society of Magazine Photogra-
phers and the Photographic So-
ciety of America, the prints that
were selected were screened by a
“gilt-edged” jury of art and pho-
tography authorities. The jury,
headed by James J. Rorimer, di-
rector of the Metropolitan Mu-
seum of Art, examined the works
of thousands of amateur and pro-
fessional photographers in the
United States and several foreign
countries.
A storm of criticism has been
leveled at previous "Photography
in the Fine Arts” exhibits, and,
almost inevitably, part of this
criticism came in the form of edi-
torial headlines that asked, “But
Is It Art?” Margaret H. Weiss
answered the following in defense
of photography: “These critics
question whether picture-taking
is really picture-making, and to
what degree a craft can become
an art. Here a misunderstanding
arises from a confusion of the
technical process with the crea-
tive one. To be sure, the actual
process by which the photogra-
pher converts his creative vision
into a concrete view is a mechani-
cal and technical operation. Some-
how forgotten, though, is the fact
that the camera is merely his
medium for producing the pic-
tures his eye sees—an instrument
he uses as the artist uses a sable
brush or a bamboo pen. Like the
artist—and as an artist—the pho-
tographer reveals his own special
insight into the visible world. The
quest for artistic truth—the cap-
ture of the timeless even in the
purely topical—is the same for all
artists, whether their medium is
pigment or marble or film.”
I James J. Rorimer is of the opin-
, | ion that photographs do fall with-
I in the purview of art, sparking
•1 esthetic responses akin to those
; stimulated by great works in any
, of the graphic media. For him,

“Deck the Halls”
Judging Tuesday
Don’t forget, it’s coming soon.
The judging of the floors for The
Hilltopper’s “Deck the Halls”
contest will be held Tuesday
evening, December 15. This week-
end would be a good time to put
up your decorations, if they’re not
already up, or make any last min-
ute changes. Remember, the
judging is on an individual floor
basis.

photography is “not only one of
the most useful but one of the
most imaginative arts.” Another
member of the PFA advisory
board, A. Hyatt Mayor, com
mented: “Far from holding up an
impersonal mirror to nature, the
camera responds like a brush to
a forceful temperament. The cam-
era and the brush serve almost
equally well to express the mode
of seeing of any generation, so
that the photographs and paint-
ings of any given decade tend to
look alike.”
The show that St. Edward’s is
fortunate enough to secure is the
same exhibit that has been shown
in major museums throughout
the United States. It includes 141
prints, both black and white and
color. It is hoped that all of the
students will take advantage of
such a worthwhile presentation,
and that it will be an impetus for
thinking and discussion on the
new forms of art that contempor-
