Commute, commute, commute might be an appropriate slogan for a large percentage of Mundelein students, some of whom travel over 100 miles a day to attend classes at our lakeside campus. Senior Mary deAcetis sets a record with her daily train ride to and from her home at Joliet, consuming two hours in the morning and an hour and a half at night, and averaging 11-1 miles a day -all in the cause oi edu cation And, now that spring has come, Con stance Zarembski has begun to com mute from her home at Geneva, Illinois four hours a day on the train Pace-setters for the suburban com muters are Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, who travels 50 miles a day to and from her home in south-suburban Homewood, Frances Schwery, who covers -16 miles in three hours a day from Highland Park, and Mary Anne McGuire who covers approximately the same distance from Deerlield. Dozens of the other students, how ever, spend just as much time with transfers and what not. Marie Von esh transfers six times a day, and can read almost an entire book during her morning L ride from Berwyn; Helen McGuire and Marguerite McNulty Insists Home Making Leads All Careers view the scenery along the North Shore from Winnctka each day; Helen Donnersberger commutes from Kennil- worth; Muriel Clinnin from Glen- coe; Hetty Gailtner from Golf, Marie Von Driska from Cicero, and Jane Brown and Mary Ellen Brietenbach from Niks (..'enter. An eager delegation, Betty Kreuzer, the Mahoney sisters, Rosemae Carrere, Patricia O'Toole, and Margaret June O'Brien among them, rides the L each morning Irom South Shore, a matter of almost two hours and of be tween 14 and 20 miles. Mary Louise and Frances Sayre, Mary Elizabeth and Frances McGuire, Lee Bleekman, and Mary Callahan are among the people who drive from the south side, Kay Johnston, Jane Ross, and the Carney sisters from the west, but the most picturesque group of all is naturally a freshman crowd. Whipping up to school from the south side in a station wagon used for guests at the Begg family summer home during vacations, are Ramona Begg, Helen Delaney, Mary Jane Greening, Belly Burke, and Ellen Cooney. They allow themselves 50 minutes each morning. Skyscrapings By LaVonne Hayes Underclassmen Plan Tea Dance Set to the music of Eddie Barrett's orchestra, the tea dance, sponsored by the freshmen and sophomores with Loyolans as guests, will be held in the gymnasium from 3 to 5 tomorrow, with refreshments served in the tea-room.

Secure Currier And Ives Prints For Art Gallery Eigln authentic Currier and Ives prints are recent additions to the collection of the art department. Including such themes as John Han cock's Defiance, the First Meeting of Washington and Lafayette, and General Israel Putnam, The Iron Son of '76, all the prints are marked with the official note entered according to an Act of Congress in the offices of the Librarian 1 Congress at Washington. The prints, almost priceless additions for collectors today, are from the prolific folio of 6,000 lithographs assembled by the house of Currier and Ives, Print- makers of the American People, who tried during the middle decades of the nineteenth century to make works of art available for every American home. The pictorial panorama detailed in the prints depicts the growth of the nation during its period of transition, during the War of the Rebellion, the War with Mexico, the Administration of Lincoln, the Gold Rush, the days of the Indian and Buffalo, of the Mississippi River steamboats in fact, every phase of American life from Colonial times to the close of the past century. Classical Students Attend Symposium Members of the Classical club will at lend a symposium on Ancient Political Thought at DePaul university on May 15. Ann Sheahan will read a paper on the Roman Concept of the Ideal State, and students from DePaul, Loyola, and St. Xavier's will discuss the Greek concept of the question. This symposium concludes a series of joint meetings held by the Classical clubs oi these schools. Representing Munde lein will be Clare Anderson, Louise French, Helen Gibbons, and Miss Shea han. From her wide experience in the business world, ihe home, and the class room, Bith Bailey McLean, director of tin Home Economics Division of Swift and Company, and guest speaker at the annual I lorne Economics Symposium, May I, made the surprising statement tliat Ihe glamorous career-girl is gen erally a tired, hard-working woman, who dresses in tailored clothes because she has neither the time nor the opportunity to have a social life. Although Mrs. McLean admits that women undoubtedly have made import ant contributions in business, she in sists that their highest position is in the home. Cites Opportunity Home Economcs is the only study, Mrs. McLean said, in which a girl can prepare at the same time lor earning her living, and for fulfilling her greatest end making a home, and the only business field which can be strengthened by an interval oi home life, if a woman desires to return to the business world. Joan Kaspari described ihe clianging objectives in home economics education from medieval theories to the modern program which aims at developing the home arts as a means of self-expression in personal living and family life, and in perpetuating the Catholic tradition of the family. Describes Course Roberta Scheid, in describing the in tegrated program of the Liberal Arts college home economics course, showed how a broad course of study in related fields of thought develops not only spe cialized home economics skills and tech niques, but also a cultural background, meticulous habits, and the art of clear thinking Betty Boehme, president of Alpha Omicron, was chairman of the Sympos ium. Betty O'Connor and Peggy Har rington poured at the tea served in the apartment by the members of the meal planning course. Seniors Prefer Social Science Hosiery Cooperative Balances Its Budget By Kathryn Byrne (Picture on Page 4) Interest in the social sciences is manifested by members of the senior class, 40 percent of whom are majoring in departments listed in the Division of Social Sciences, which includes so ciology, history, economics, and home economics. Thirty-four percent have chosen ma jors from departments in the Division of Language and Literature; 19 per cent from departments in the Divis ion of Natural Sciences, which includes mathematics; and 7 percent from de partments in the Division of Fine Arts. Among the individual departments, English leads in popularity for the second consecutive year, with 18 ma jors. Economics follows, a close second, with 15 majors, and sociology and mathematics tie for third place with 8 majors in each field. Economics held second place both last year and the year before, but mathematics registers a notable rise in popularity this year, having ranked ninth instead of third in 1938. Willi the nation, various states, and a score of cities all concerned about bal ancing budgets, it is news that Georgette Thoss, head of the Consumer's Coopera tive Hosiery club, settled her financial obligations this week by submitting a report of the monetary success of the three-year-old organization, pending the closing of accounts for the current fiscal year. Inspired by a lecture on Practical Economics in College Life, given by the Reverend George A. McDonald of the Queen's Work, five students obtained the consent of the College to contact wholesale dealers, promote the idea among the students, and venture forth as a buying group to test sales, overhead expense, and other organization prob lems, and opened the Cooperative in De cember, 1936. Within three years, the Cooperative, consisting originally of Miss Thoss, Catherine Wilkins, Florence Nardi, La Vonne Hayes, and Kathryn Byrne, has grown to an active membership of 50 students and a consumer trade of almost 200 regular patrons. Established in the midst of a busi ness recession period, the shop opened in a corner of the busy student lounge, survived the business slump created by the exchange of Christmas gift hosiery, and encountered its first notable success when style leaders decreed new spring shades to brighten the hosiery charts and attract buyers. In June, 1937, the cooperative reported a return of from 25 cents to 7.50 to its members, depending on the number of purchases made from the shop during the five months of its existence. A report of the club's success, given at the Chicago Summer School of Cath olic Action, aroused interest in the movement, and its officers assisted other schools in the establishment of similar clubs. Profiting by the experience of the first year's orientation program, the reelected officers and directors formed a real co operative organization at the beginning of the second year, with memberships selling at a dollar a share during the first two weeks of the fall semester. The 60 members then shared in the profits from the purchases of the 180 regular customers. These non-member patrons received their savings in the lowcr-than-averagc retail prices main tained by the Cooperative. Liquidation of the organization at the end of May, 1938, netted a profit of 17 percent to each shareholder, which amount was returned with the member ship fee. Fifty members renewed membership in the Cooperative in the fall of 1938 and will share in the 1938-39 profits of the gross sales, which averaged 95 a month at the shop, located this year in the bookstore. Red-letter days on the Cooperative calendar are those of large-scale buy ing, a notable one occuring at Christ mas of 1937 when a senior bought 24 pairs of hose for Christmas presents, and another when the class of 1938 entered an order for 77 pairs for Commence ment wear.
