Principal speaker of the evening, the Cardinal linked philosophic truths with contem porary affairs and illustrated ways to peace set down by St. Thomas Aquinas. Expanding the theme of the Very Reverend Gerald B. Phelan, that the students of today can be the real philoso phers of tomorrow, His Eminence de clared philosophers to be the only realists and the only possible makers of the peace. The world today, he said, is afraid of man and of human reason. In look ing for substitutes, it does violence to truth. The Cardinal defined the philosophical concept of justice as a revelation of the Divine Will, the eternal reality of each supporting the other. A compromise with justice, he added, outrages the common good. According to St. Thomas, said His Eminence, justice is a proper rational objective which removes the impediments to peace. Men must learn to make sac rifices, also, so that there may be just balances in every phase of living, balances created in charity made noble by Chris tian supernatural motives. Among the guests who participated in this commemoration of the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas were Maximilian Beck of the Philosophy department at the University of Illinois, and A. G. Samp son, who came from Toronto, Canada, for the occasion. Economists Study Labor Problems Labor affairs will be the keynote of Nu Theta Epsilon's meeting at 1 p.m. tomorrow, in Room 403.

Short articles, concerned with the viewpoint and experiences of college students, are in demand by more than a score of editors, Mrs. Eberhardt in sisted, citing her own early experiences as a free lance writer.

The course includes literary study of giants of the Catholic revival, such as Newman, Thompson, Chesterton, and Bclloc, each of whom earned a high niche in the modern world of letters. Art Department Displays Prints Of French Masters The Art department, during its current exhibit, is showing prints of drawings by modern artists, including works by Picasso, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec The prints are done in brush, pencil, and other media. Picasso, Spanish-born French artist, universally judged to be the best of the three, is represented by one of his more conservative niothcr-and-child drawings. A versatile experimenter with new forms, and leader in many of the new movements in Paris art circles, Picasso is the only artist represented who is still living. The exhibition includes several of Degas' famous drawings depicting dan cers, some of which were used as pre liminary studies for small figures in clay. Toulouse-Lautrec is known for his characterizations of the habitual patrons of Parisian cafes. Some of these cafe drawings evidence a poster-like quality the forerunner of modern commercial advertising. Florence Baroglia, A.M., of the Art department, lent the prints to the department for the exhibit Wnat Qoe6 Q n . . . Vy/inter's icy grip still clutches the earth and churns the Lake's waves like stinging whips, but evidences of green and sunshine parade within Mun delein's halls today anyway. In spite of quarterly exams this week, * nothing can dim the lilt of Irish laughter or detract from the general feeling of gaiety. Ceniors know their Comp marks now *- and have formed the MYOB club. For further information, come to Room 305. Only prerequisites are: senior stand ing and a desire to avoid discussion of Comp marks.* Drightcst note on everyone's horizon is * * the Easter vacation which starts Thursday, March 27, after 5:00 p.m. Which brings up the question of Easter shopping. Only 10 school days re main to look for bonnets and frills. Rut a word for de-emphasizing the finery with which Easter is usually associated. The significance of Easter holds no room for stressing the importance of new clothes in competition with the outfit of the person kneeling next to you. A good appearance means nothing to God if it fosters spiritual poverty. / rs- Simon Wojtalcwicz, 85-ycar-old * '+ mother of 12 children, grand mother of 13, and great-grandmother of 9, is shining up her medals to match her shining eyes these days. The medal, from the Shrine of Christian Motherhood, St. Augustine, Florida, was presented by Cardinal Stritch at the Family Life Conference held at the Stevens Hotel last week. Mrs. Wojtalcwicz, who is the oldest of the five outstanding Catholic moth ers so honored in Chicago, gives glory to Mundelein also in this award since her grand-daughter, Polly Novak, is a sophomore at school, and two other granddaughters are former Mundelcin- ites: Ruth Janis '38, and Dorothy Wal ters, ex '43. * (MYOB stands for Mind Your Own Business.)
