Browne's Repertoire Selections from the works of T. S. Eliot were presented Tuesday in a pro gram given by E. Martin Browne, dis tinguished theatrical director, and his wife, Henzie Raeburn. The concert- lecture series event was held in the College auditorium at 1:10 p.m. BROWNE HAS DIRECTED Mr. Eliot's The Cocktail Party and The Confidential Clerk both in England and the United States. He has been guest director at Stratford-on-Avon and the Old Vic Theater, and in 1951 staged the sensational revival of .the medieval York Mystery Plays in the ancient Abbey at York, which he has repeated during the past several sum mers. Browne holds the distinction of hav ing directed every play written by T. S. Eliot who he brought into the thea ter with The Rock in 1934 and Mur der in the Cathedral in 1935. He is the only person Eliot will permit to direct the London and New York pro ductions of his plays. HENZIE RAEBURN started her career as a professional actress at Stratford-on-Avon and has appeared for two years at Everyman Theater in London. Miss Raeburn has also appeared many times on radio and television, and is the author of the two plays: Disarm and Beginning of the Way. Both Mr. and Mrs. Browne have been active in visiting professors of drama at various American colleges and universities including the Union Theological Seminary in New York and Carnegie Tech. Medalist Offers Russian Scholarship Miss Ellen Collins, recipient of the 1958 Magnificat Medal, will endow a 100 scholarship to Mundelein's most proficient Russian student. Beginning next semester the award will be given annually to the scholar who best measures up to the qualifi cations of the language department. Sister Mary St. Irene, chairman of the modern language department, and Mrs. Miroslav Krek, Russian instruc tor, will draw up the requirements. The scholarship's originator, Ellen Collins, is the current editor of World Affairs magazine and the executive secretary of the American Peace So ciety. She merited Mundelein's Mag nificat Medal for utilizing her college training and Christian social living in the field of foreign relations in South America. A graduate of St. Joseph College, Maryland, Miss Collins specified an award in the field of Russian because it can be used as the apostolate of U.S. understanding abroad. Miss Collins intends to present the schol arship annually.

Panel Displays Form Agenda For Book Week A panel discussion on the Ecumeni cal Council will be held Thursday for students in the second-floor reading room of the library, a part of the pro gram planned for Catholic Book Week, which is this week. Reverend William Clark, Mother St. Agnes, C.S.S.M., Sister Mary Carol Frances, B.V.M., and Sister Mary Agnesita, B.V.M., fac ulty members of the theology depart ment, will participate. The slogan of Catholic Book Week is Unity in Faith through Reading. Developing this basic theme, the pan elists will discuss the need for a council, the ecumenical movement as distinct from the council, the prepara tion for the new era in the Church, and the laity's part in the preparation. A similar panel opened Catholic Book Week activities last Sunday at a Faculty-Staff Tea hosted by the Mundelein College librarians. Other Catholic Book Week activities include displays of recent library ad ditions arranged by the individual de partments and a collection of French children's books loaned by the French Consulate. Two featured books this week are works of Mundelein alumnae: the re cently published Always Room for One More by Virginia Julier '41 and a children's book, The Magic Yarn, by Jane Trakey '43.

Reverend Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of Notre Dame Uni versity, was elected president. The Commission on Legislation studies government measures which touch on educational affairs and makes recommendations to the association on these matters. A resolution urging federal assist ance to higher education for construc tion of academic facilities through federal loans and grants was passed at the January meeting. The purpose of the series is to give these students a chance to display their skills acquired in music and to give the audience a greater apprecia tion of musical excellence.

Professionals To Assemble For Writers Conference Editors, publishers and authors from New York, Washington and Chi cago will assemble here next week for a writers' conference co-sponsored by Mundelein and Georgetown Uni versity. Panels and workshops are planned to help the young writer grasp the tricks of the .trade. Kathryn Winslow, president of the Women's Press Association, book re viewer for the Chicago Tribune and author of the best sellers, Big Pan- Out and Alaska Bound, will relate FHA Approves New Dorm Loan The million-dollar government loan for the new Mundelein dormitory has been approved by the Federal Housing Administration, Sister Mary Ann Ida has announced. THE LONG-TERM LOAN is self- amortizing, meaning that the college is expected to pay back the principal and interest from .the income derived from the operation of the dormitory over a 40-year period. With the approval of the loan, plans for the early spring (around May 1) ground breaking for the four-story In diana limestone structure will go ahead. Naess and Murphy, who de signed the Prudential Building and the Scholasticate, are the architects. The new dormitory will accom modate twice as many students as are now in residence. Located immediately east of the Col lege on the north end of the parking lot, the building will contain a snack bar and student lounge on the ground and first floors. SINCE THE COST of the lounge and snack bar ( 200,000) is not in cluded in the government loan, .the Women's Auxiliary and the Fathers' Club have pledged to help defray this expense. The alumnae have contrib uted more than 50,000 already. All proceeds from the following events will go toward this goal: the Fathers' Club-Women's Auxiliary sup per and card party Dec. 9; the Women's Auxiliary's annual fashion show, .the St. Patrick's Day dinner, and a salad-bar luncheon in May. Student benefit profits ( 2,520) will also be used.in furnishing the lounge. her experiences on the Pleasures and Problems of Authorship. PHILIP SCHARPER, editor for Sheed and Ward Publishing Co., will also highlight the program. His speech, American Culture: A Bridge between Catholics and Protestants, is being sponsored by the Mundelein Col lege Alumnae Association and the Catholic Education Centers. Formerly associate editor of Com monweal, Mr. Scharper writes for America, Jubilee and Harper's on lit erary and religio-cultural subjects. He was American correspondent for the Catholic Gazette of England and drama reviewer for The Critic. Paul Cuneo, editor of The Critic, Betty Prevender, assistant editor of Today Magazine, and Eileen O'Hayer, managing editor of Extension will conduct a panel on editing, The Pen and the Blue Pencil. Memos from the Publisher will be given by Roy Porter, Bernard Wirth and Jean Kellogg, representing the Rand McNally Co., Bruce Publishing Co. and the Henry Regnery Co. On Saturday morning, Riley Hughes, author of The Hills Were Liars, will moderate workshops in the novel and the short story. Stu dents may submit short stories for criticism to Sister M. Irma by Feb. 21. Following a luncheon, a panel will discuss the juvenile literature market. Moderated by Margery Frisbie, col umnist for Marriage magazine, the panel will include: Mary Louise Hec tor, author of The Young Reader's (Continued on Page 5) Feb. 27 Marks Tryouts For Variety Show Acts Tryouts for Mundelein's second an nual variety show March 17 will be held Feb. 27 in the college auditorium at 4 p.m. Evaluated on the basis of origi nality, suitability, stage presence and delivery, the acts may be single, group or class.
