Descartes, noted mathematician of seventeenth-century France, was dis cussed from several angles by members of Mu Nu Sigma, Mundelein philoso phy group, and the Robert Bellarminc circle of Loyola. The Reverend John F. McCormick, S. J., head of the Loyo la philosophy department, presided. Joseph Le Blanc, Ph. D., professor of philosophy at Loyola, presented a treatise on Descartes the Mathematician. Thomas Buckley and Charles Strubbe spoke re spectively on the Discours De La- Methodc and the Criterion of Certi tude. Magel Brown, president of Mu Nu Sigma, talked on Descartes' proofs of the Existence of God, and Catherine Ann Dougherty spoke of the life and charac ter of Descartes. A graduate of the Jesuit college at Tourraine, Descartes remained a de vout Catholic all his life, and regretted extremely that the church would not accept his philosophy. His skill at mathematics, however, his originality in presenting mathematics as a basis for philosophy, and his method of beginning the study of philosophy with the study of consciousness makes his work singu larly important. will serve as weekly directors. Irene Waldron, junior art major and winner of the Cisca and Armour Tech. poster contests last year, serves as hoard super visor for this week. Since this weekly art series has been established for students who have no formal contact with art principles in classes, the art department encourages student participation through contribu tion and criticism. To test this new method, student mana gers will compile a questionnaire on the material that has been featured on the board every semester. The data from ibis objective test will then be used to gauge the effectiveness of the bulletin method.

No, he merely wiggled his ears, growled lazily, and went to sleep. You see, Lilo is a bright-eyed little Pekinese. He made a stage debut at Mundelein in 1931 in the play World Without Me.n, and returned for a com mand performance in 1936. Property of Margaret Wenigman '35, Lilo got his Packard chance when his mistress, an executive in the Big Sisters, wrote his name on one of her own slips in the prize competition sponsored by that organization recently. So Lilo makes headlines again, but he remains his own wise self. What does he want with a Packard?
