Fund Chairmen Make Plans To Dazzle 1966 The year is 1966. A sight-see ing plane sweeps low at Sheridan Road and Devon, the guide point ing out sights of interest along the North Shore. He directs the passengers' atten tion to one of the world's largest colleges for women. Its up-to-date facilities help the Faculty and stu dents to contribute generously to the intellectual and cultural life of Chicago. Right now we can only dream of the Mundelein of 1966 and work for it. The Student Activities Council has given us a pattern for - :. ff . ..jjrgVieu tov.l.i.iucts i lt; gt; mobilize student action. Ann Codd and Noreen Gibbons are co-chairmen of the project in troduced by the SAC at the Feb. 14 assembly. Heading the nine 100-girl com mittees are Roseanne McGreal, Carol Madden, Betty Howell, Dag- mar Elsnic, Marie Coyle, Patricia Lampe, Donna Gauer, Maureen Fo ley, and Barbara Sylvester. Freshman Is Gay Blade On Skates With a flash of blades and a spray of ice, Freshman Jo Lucille Zimmerman has skated her way through contests to become a pro fessional ice skater. At the age of 11, Miss Zim merman began her figure skating lessons at the Chicago Arena where she skated every day. To further her training she spent her summers skating in Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor hotel. She also studied in Lansing, Mich igan ; Denver, Colorado; Roches ter, Minnesota, and Cleveland, where she skated in various exhi bitions. Miss Zimmerman was a junior runner-up in the Midwestern Sec tion skating contest, a United States competitor and junior cham pion in 1951. She also skated at the Chi cago Theatre for an ice show after which she turned down an offer to go to Australia. Miss Zimmerman teaches ice skating at the Tower Skating rink and school and several of her stu dents have been entered in compe titions. Sophomore Group Studies Dead Sea Scrolls Problem While the experts withhold judg ment on the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek scrolls recently found in the caves of Judea, students in a Soph omore Religion class will, tomor row, tell the story of the Dead Sea Scrolls as the scholars report it. Mti'.-j r'AndttoOn rill Jcs-iibc the Isaias Scroll, handwritten be fore 70 A.D., and found near the caves of Qumran in 1947. Barbara Cwiak will explain the services of science in restoring and deciphering the manuscripts. Nora Ann Materer will point up the significance of the biblical manuscripts in the collection, not to the scholar only but also to all who love the Bible. The REPs Report . . . Leaders Recommend Soft Voices, Recollection, and Reverence So you've scanned the front page, looked at the pictures, de voured the Skyscrapings and now it's time for your SAC column. Surprise I Something new an ex periment. Where are you? This is not a rhetorical question. Answer it. Are you on the stairs going to class in 405, your locker room, the Phoenix? Do us a favor. Stop listen, just for a moment. What is that foreign noise? Can these be the sweet and gentle voices of Mun delein women? The past few weeks have been busy ones Semester examinations, the Freshmen mixer, the Junior Prom, the sight of Seniors fever ishly preparing for Comprehen sives. Granted, we've had a lot to talk about but the way we've been talking Yes, you've guessed it the convalescent in Evanston has been complaining again. You're probably wondering how your sweet, well-modulated voice could be part of such a despicable problem. Obviously it's not just your voice we're referring to it's the crowd chorus that becomes ter rifying. We ask you to unite in an effort to lower Mundelein's voice and in so doing make all of us more womanly. * * * * y Being typical collegians, we like to think of ourselves as mature be ings. Assuming that we are, 1956, then, represents 366 days planned, not by our parents and instructors, but by ourselves a combination of work, prayer, play, and study, with our final goal in view at all times. Many clays will be devoted al most entirely to our own pleasure. Yet, when we are asked to give just three days out of a year en tirely to God, we fall short of the responsibilities which our maturity entails. In November, we not only over looked the purpose of these days, but some of us went so far as seem ingly to forget God. Next Friday will be our second Day of Recol lection. If successful, it will re sult in a better year for all of us. Are we mature enough to accept the challenge offered by the effort to keep silence? French Expert Will Describe Papal Institutes Father Yves Delapierre, origin ally from France and more recent ly from Italy where he has studied and taught for the past six years, will speak to students of French, on Papal Institutes and their Work for the Church, March 2, at 2 p.m., in Room 405. Members of the French club visited the Toulouse-Lautrec ex hibit at the Art Institute recently with Agnes Blanc, Ph.D., instruc tor in French. Included in the group were Mary Ann Cashman, Adele Keane, An nette Busse, Mary Ann King, Mar ianne Murphy, Pauline Abraham, Christine Sawalski, and Joan Budi cin. P R fl RI F M 'v or n' h sch l seniors entering the annual Mathematics rnULITIO tournament, March 4, are the concern of, left to right, Mathematics majors Joan Panka, Beverly Battiste, Marilyn Flaherty, and Diane O'Neil. The school that makes the highest score wins a trophy, and the three highest ranking individual entrants receive medals. Head ing committees for the tournament are Joan Smith, Mary Kay Marren, Patricia Kasper, Noreen Gibbons, Joan Conroy, and Patricia Cline. Even The Logs Have Rhythm The Lady Problems, All the great clas sics are not decaying with age. The past 20 years have pro duced many thought- provoking volumes. Among these is Plane Trigonometry (With Tables). Those who have read it can tes tify that it is thought- provoking at least, provoking. Lest the title mis lead you, I must ex plain that it has noth ing to do with planes, jOi.s, oi buniu.. .ii- though it mei l.ons tables, it contait s no significant references to dining-room i irni- ture. The title, a mys tery in itself, tore- tells the suspense held throughout by the author's detet. tive technique. Unlike most mystery wr.cers, he never squeiches your initiative by of fering a solution. He gives you the clues, develops the plot, and lets you find the answers. This clever style gives you the feeling that you are actually part of the book. The plot is detailed. In The Triangle Is Z: Who Is X? Why Is Y? It concerns a Tri angle and a Circle. From our reading of newspapers, we know a Triangle consists of three people, arbitrar ily named X, Y, and Z, who are involved in some way. A Circle is com monly known as what everyone is going around in. We can conclude it is some foreign type of auto mobile. Y is obviously the -'irivcr, as he seems 10 be concerned with speed, direction, and location. He is a col lege graduate, since he possesses many de grees. X is a rather tall fellow, very thin, and inclined to be absent- minded. The reader is constantly looking for him, usually with very little informa tion to rely on. The lady in the Triangle, Z, is of a languid disposition. She is usually re clining, doing nothing constructive. The adventures of this little group are varied and exciting. One chapter finds them in South Caro lina on the first page, and Miami Beach on the next. They go over mountains, around lakes, and down below the sur face of the earth. The book is artistically il lustrated to give you the fullest apprecia tion of these activi ties. The poet will find here his favorite met er, be it centimeter or millimeter. He'll dis cover true rhythm in * logarithm. Dieters will find Reducing Formulae. . The starving will rejoice to see the pies. Or phans will find Rela tions. Sunbathers can ab sorb a tan. Depressed people will discover new Identities. Fra ternity members will see their organiza tions immortalized. The Radical will find himself on page after page. It is admitted that the Iliad and the Odysey, the Cid, and the Nibelungenlied have their places in literature. But, if you want to know all the angles, don't miss Trigonometry.
