President Voices College Thanks for 171,701.00 Ford Foundation Gift Rarely in philantropy has the vision been as large as the need. The Ford Foundation grant, however, reaching every privately supported liberal arts college, is magnificent in its perceptive generosity. With these words, Sister Mary John Michael, B.V.M., President of the College, expressed the gratitude of the Ad ministration and Faculty for a gift of 171,701.00 given to the College according to an announcement by the Founda tion on Dec. 12. The grant to each college was equated in terms of salaries given in 1954-55 to all full-time lay teachers on the staffs. Recognizing the value and im portance of private institutions in the education of future leaders, the Foundation appropriated 550 mil lion dollars to private colleges and medical institutions throughout the country. The interest from the grants, giv en in the form of endowments, will l gt;e used specifically for 10 years for Faculty salaries. Thereafter, the gifts may be used as each college wishes. Excellence of instruction has al ways been a primary goal at Mun delein, Sister Mary John Michael continued. The Ford gift will make possible a continuation of the policy of in creasing Faculty salaries and of at tracting to the Instructional staff scholars whose prestige and compe tence will contribute to the intellec tual development of the students. Don Cossack Chorus Dancers Perform Here on Feb. 16 An important stop for the orig inal Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers will be the College audi torium, at 1 p.m., Feb. 16.

The program will open with se lections from the Orthodox litur gy, rousing songs of the Army and of the steppes, and folk tunes from the Russian provinces. Then the orchestra of singers will form the musical background for Russian dancing noted for its gymnastic showmanship and vari ation. Laetare Players Present . . . Madwoman of Chaillot Has Sane Plan For World Learn All About It, Feb. 12, 13 The time is next year. The place a Paris peopled by barons, prospectors, jugglers, and flower girls. One may speak with a president or a ragpicker and overhear four countesses planning to save the world. But it is the determination and planning of the Coun tess Aurelia, called by her friends The Madwoman of Chail lot, that saves the world in this fantasy by Jean Ciraudeaux which will be presented by the Laetare Players on Feb. 12 and 13, in the College theatre. The manner in which the Coun tess, alternately portrayed by Lu cille Youngmann and Mary Shear- in, disposes of the forces of evil which breed ugliness and unhappi- ness is a matter not only for phil osophical and political satire, but also for high comedy. Constance, played by Mary Ann Carroll and Dolores Rittenberg, Gabrielle, by Marcia Kelley and Consuela Thiery, and Josephine played by Nancy Schrieber, and Judie Skwiot. are the other mad women of Paris who help the Countess. The Prospector, enacted by Robert Van Lysebettens; the President, by Tony Mockus, and the Baron, by Al Herion, are among their targets; while the Juggler, played by Steve Mellow, the Flower girl, by Janice Haertel, and the Pedd ler, by Sherry Milroy, are some of the people they are trying to protect. Of course the Countess must see the young lovers, Pierre and Irma, played by Dolores de Paoli and Marythomas Helgeson, live happily ever after. And she calls for some expert assistance from the Rag picker, portrayed by Bill Fosser, and the Sewer Man, Mr. Mellow again. The technical angle of the pro duction is supervised by the as sistant director, Diane McDermott, and the various crew members. The set, designed by Mr. Fosser, is be ing constructed under the direction of Mr. George Pettcrson and Mr. Fosser. At Home . . .
