Page Four SKYSCRAPER True Confession . . . Collegiate Life Is Usually Confusing To One Who Knows : fl it this way, advises Geraldine Gadecki, Senior Art major, when Freshman Dorothy Capek asks advice on a lettering project for her class in design. How the mighty have fallen This freshman has been reduced to a quivering, perplexed blob of proto plasm as a result of having entered this institution of higher learning, th'.s concentration of Do-It-Your- sclfism. I entered, if not with a cock sure attitude, at least with a reason able amount of self-confidence. I had expected lo attend classes faith fully, listen attentively, and absorb knowledge much as a sponge ab sorbs water. This notion was my first mistake. As I had expected, we no longer do homework. Here, it seems, we do assignments. In college, I find that this word seldom comes in the singular. I attend classes, amas sing assignments, hoping that things will eventually let up. I'm still waiting. So is much of my home work pardon me, assignments. My classes can be described, roughly that's the only word need ed, I believe; they're rough. Par ticularly so is my physical education course, of all things. I took biology expressly to evade chemistry. Yet I find myself weak ly peering into dozens of dingy, germ-laden test tubes, looking for something anything By the time I leave the laboratory I feel small in comparison with the wonderful world about me. Imagine my confusion when I enter my religion class only to be told that I am the most important creature in the world. I was told that I can change the world. This thought ivas alien to me. 1 had rather planned to learn to accept it as it was. I found that I must not only learn about the world, far more extensively than first I had imagined, but must also reconvert it to Christianity, to po litical awareness, etc. etc. This has not made me lose hope, but I am beginning to worry. I am beginning to think that it is I and not the misguided teachers who must get in the groove. All the adjusting done thus far has been on my side and it's not the photo genic side. Just the same, I'm get ting the picture and the result indi cates that it is I who need further development. SAC Speaks Up . . . Hear This Now Hear This Then Hear This The Battle of Survival is a thing of the past as football games and homecomings take the spot light. To set the stage, St. Jo seph's college invited us to see its mighty 11 in action. We express our gratitude for the cooperation of those who inspired the St. Joe's team to a thrilling victory. * * * If your enthusiasm is still high, save some of it for Friday. Your SAC and NFCCS are co-sponsor ing our first mixer, the Broomstick Bounce. All brooms will be pro vided by these two organizations. The Bounce must come from you * * * Time on your hands? Offer it to the Service club. Even an hour a week will accomplish much if multiplied by several students. Senior Ann Codd, chairman of the Committee, known as Kappa Phi Omega, will send you an as signment if you signed the agen da list application note. * * * Thanks to you, the locker room situation has improved consider ably. Concentrated effort, once again, results in satisfying student needs. * * * The success of Mundelein's first 25 years can best be measured by the feeling of pride instilled in us as Church and Civic leaders paid tribute Sept. 29 to the College and to the Sisters who founded and conduct it. The Cardinal's words, the speeches of the Mayor and the Lieutenant Governor, and the en tire evening are unforgettable. * * * Following the theme that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the Seniors are say ing the Rosary at 11 :S0 a.m. daily for their two special intentions Comprehensives and Student Teaching. * * * Our calendar begins to take on diversity and opportunity so that you may be able to participate in student life. could be H2C03, C12H22011, or almost anything else these Freshman Biology students, 1 Mary Ann Sawitoski, Marianne Murphy, Sharon O'Shea, and Mary Jane Hayes, conclude as they work with test tubes and Bunsen burners to find out what freshmen are made of.

Freshmen have been initiated in to the mysteries of library life not to be confused with book-worm life through a series of exercises and quizzes provided by the Librar ians in cooperation with the Eng lish department. Each student showing the flo lt; brary, which by tion and identific liged to label, k ities as the reft iodical indexes, l lists, and Readin eceived a diagram gt;r plan of the li- personal explora- ation, she was ob- gt;cating such facil- rence rooms, per- eserve shelves and t List shelves. Pressure Points Way to Qymnasium Anyone entering the gymnasium on Mondays and Wednesdays need not be alarmed. She isn't in a home for disabled persons but in a First Aid class conducted by Pauline Du- ...... zeski '34, where students learn how lUuRotLr to prevent accidents and save lives. For ordinary library users, the Library of Congress cataloging sys tem used here resented a prob lem ; however, the instructions clar ified things and reduced, no doubt, the number of. questions which members of the Class of 1959 will put to the librarians. Currently Miss Duzeski is teach ing them to bandage wounds, to carr)- people on stretchers, and to apply artificial respiration. Yes, do it your self is the Freshman theme these days.
