Beyond its obvious implication that a Catholic on the ticket would have helped in 1952, Bailey's paper does not attempt to assign reasons for Stevenson's relatively poor showing among Catholics. Few Democrats believe that Stevenson's divorce lost him any substantial number of Catholic votes. But most Catholic Democratic leaders believe that the general charges of Democratic "softness toward Communism" were especially effective among Catholics. Since those charges are sure to be revived in 1956 to a greater or lesser degree, many a Democrat stands with John Bailey in the belief that a Catholic vice...

...recommendations for a faculty "Director of the Theatre" suggest College control, or at least domination, of a field whose main virtue has been its independant enthusiasm. There is no doubt that a Professor of considerable rank and popularity will be needed to arrange program schedules and to assign priorities. There are serious doubts, however, about the value of the recommendation that, "He should be responsible for policy and should administer and schedule the program of the theatre." Student directors have serious and, perhaps, well-founded fears that the faculty Director will use his authority to presecribe the shows...
