HEARS RAYMOND MOLEY LECTURE ON NEW DEAL Katherine Brennan attended a lecture given by Raymond Moley at Mandel Hall, University of Chicago, recently. The lecture, on the subject, Is there a New Deal? was given as one in the stu dent lecture service of the University. Professor Moley is from Harvard and is editor of Today and a member of the Roosevelt Brain Trust. Referring to the New Deal, Professor Moley declared, If one is unable to say in advance how well a plan will formu late but can know that it looks good and that the people who are familiar with conditions say that it is good, it then seems feasible to adopt it rather than to continue in a system that has broken down. Bulletin Ruth Wright sucessf ully passed the Senior Terrapin club re quirements, and Gertrude Rafferty the Junior Terrapin club requirements at the tryouts on Feb. 26. With March upon us and the basket ball season nearing its close, thoughts turn to swimming, of course The in terclass meet sponsored by the Terrapin club and the Telegraphic meet take place the latter part of March, so practice is in order now. The juniors are defending champions, and judging from the enthusiastic re sponse of the under classes a strong de fense will be needed. Definite class prac tice periods have not yet been arranged, but general practice is held each Tuesday at 3:40. Events in the interclass meet last year included 40-yard front crawl, 40-yard back crawl, 40-yard breast stroke, 100- yard free style, relay races, and diving. The telegraphic meet omits the last 2 events. Naturally, these events tested the skill of only the more advanced swimmers. This year's meet will include several 20- yard races in order that those swimmers who wish to help defend itheir class laurels in swimming and yet feel that they are not capable of competing in the 40-yard races may take part. Therefore inability to swim two lengths should not keep any one out of the meet. Eight Pass Life Saving Tests Having passed the 17 rigorous tests required for membership in the Senior Life Saving Corps, eight Mundelein stu dents can exhibit their badges and pins. Before taking the tests, the would-be savers had to complete 10 practice les sons. The proud recruits are: Margaret Vendley, Mae Sexton, Gertrude Rafferty, Mary Thullen, Ruth Wright, Rita Hagel, Ruth Mary Gorman, and Mary Finnegan. FOUR SENIORS ATTEND MISSION CELEBRATION Four seniors, Lenore Manning, Kath erine Brennan, Catherine Manske, and Rita Eppig, represented the College at the Ninth Annual Mission Celebration held at Holy Name Cathedral on Feb. 18. In the morning, the delegates attended Mass at Quigley Preparatory Seminary, followed by a meeting in the assembly hall at Quigley. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock at 'the Biggs House, the for mer McCormick home. Mission Services were held in the Cathedral at 3 o'clock, the Right Rever end Monsignor A. Wachter, Prefect Apostolic of North Borneo, delivering the sermon. The Mission Sunday celebration is held each year under the direction of the Right Reverend Monsignor James J. Horsburgh, with the purpose of recog nizing the work of student leaders who have cooperated with the activities of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Directs Original Play and Coaches Youthful Debaters Dr. Rooney Directs Research Projects In Child Welfare (Continued from page 1, Col. 3) As an actress and debater Miss Tynan holds a foremost place at Mundelein. In 1933 she merited the award for the most outstanding acting of the year with her splendid characterization of La Torche in A Toast That We Can Drink. During the same year, she played the lead in Henri Gheon's miracle play, The Marvellous Adventure of Bernard de Menthon, and wrote and acted A Pair of Gray Kid Gloves, a program of dramatic monologues based on episodes in the life of the mad Empress Carlotta of Mexico. Miss Tynan is a member of the Stylus club and poetry editor of the Clepsydra. She received the poetry award in the contest sponsored by the English depart ment last year for her poem, Expatriate, published in Quest. A vital study of the social problems of childhood is being conducted by Mir iam L. Rooney, Ph.D., in her sociology course this semester. Various members of the class are making studies of the re ports sent out by the Children's Bureau ol the United States Department of La bor, and giving reports of their study in class. Following each report an open forum is held in the class, and, according to Dr. Rooney, with an appreciation of actual so cial conditions existing in America today, the students are developing an intelligent, constructive altitude toward child wel fare work and legislation. A report on Child Welfare in Puerto Rico, given by Charlotte Knerr, described the high infant mortality and poverty existing in Puerto Rico and the measures employed by the United Slates in com bating the evil. Elizabeth Sacevicius reported recently on Mental Deficiencies in Rural Coun ties. Miss Sacevicius discussed especial ly the situation existing in Sussex coun ty, Delaware, considering, besides the un wholesome living conditions, the deficient school system, unfit occupations, and un organized recreation, and their bearing upon juvenile delinquency. Rochelle Kaden reported last Wednes day on the case of a prisoner's family in Kentucky, and reports on Child Labor and on Workingmen's Families in Phila delphia will be given next week by Ros- lyn Robineau and Charlotte Hobin. Debaters Achieve Victories In Two University Meets (Continued from page 1, Col 1) the Reverend James Shevlin, and Mr. Michael Montague were judges. The Reverend Charles M. Ryan, S.J., coach of the John Carroll team, did not accompany the debaters, but two other members of the Cleveland team were present. Katherine Brennan, president of the Debating club, Ruth Tangney, and Mar garet Cleary were on the reception com mittee. Adeline Pfister, Helen Stretch and Rochelle Fox furnished music dur ing the intermissions. While in Chicago, the team from John Carroll university debated with Loyola university and with Rosary college. Revolution or Evolution? Father Goodwin Answers What have we today, economic evo lution or revolution? This question was the theme of the lecture given by the Rev. Eneas B. Goodwin, A.B., S.T.B., J.D., associate professor of economics at Loyola university and a member of the political science department of Munde lein College, on Feb. IS. This lecture, one of a series given by- Loyola faculty members on current prob lems, was delivered both at the Loyola Down Town college and the Loyola Com munity Theater. Father Goodwin proceeded to prove to his audience that the NIRA is perfectly in accord with the economic evolution or rational development of the United States. The plan of the President, Father de clared, can be paralleled with the economic history of the country in that certain phases of the NIRA are not necessarily new. The President and his advisers, Father Goodwin declared, have pointed out that such measures as have been adopted now gave rise previously to a high rate of em ployment and a general alleviation of dis tress. The administration hopes to ac complish the same results with the NIRA. A number of Mundelein students at tended the lecture, a report of which was given by Katherine Brennan in the Amer ican Political Parties course. FATHER WILBER TALKS IN CHAPEL GUILD SERIES Two members of the faculty attended a theological travelogue on Spinoza, Einstein, and Cardinal Newman given by the Reverend Russell Wilber, on Feb. 26, at the residence of Mrs. Stuyvesant Pea- body, under the auspices of the Chapel Guild. Father Wilber, noted convert and pas tor of Notre Dame de Lourdes church, St. Louis, was educated at Williams col lege and Northwestern university. He was ordained to the Episcopal ministry and five years later was received into the Catholic Church. Father Wilber's latest article, A Preface to Catholicism, ap peared in the November issue of the Atlantic Monthly. DEAR SODALIST Friend of my carefree youth: I should have written weeks ago, but my Saturday mornings have been spent at the Ciscora meetings at the downtown Loyola building. And you know that ac cording to my new schedule (which, in cidentally, I've been following religiously since the beginning of the new semester, and the tragic reception of grades for the last ) all correspondence is billed for Saturday morning. But back to the meetings. I can see you politely tittering up your fashionably flounced sleeve at even the remote com bination of Ciscora meetings and me. To be perfectly frank, if not so clear, the combination resulted from pamphleteer ing. Virginia Woods, another pamphleteer, told me about these Ciscora meetings and bade me come along down. Invita tions aren't at all necessary, my dear Sue; anyone and everyone is given a royal welcome. I shall not forget my first visit. The building, a tall slim affair tucked away on 28 North Franklin Street, seemed from the exterior slightly austere. Immediately upon entering I forgot that fact for a real spirit of friendliness pre vails. I've attended only three times, and I am already nodding Good morning to delegates whom I've never met nor even seen before. This statement may seem remarkable to you, knowing what an unfriendly soul I am, but then these meetings are most remarkable themselves. Father Joseph Reiner, S.J., who acts so moderator, welcomed me cordially and immediately I was introduced to the chairman of the meeting, the prefect of the Sodality, and others, all of whom made me feel quite at home. The chairman's signal for opening prayer sufficed to turn that enthusiastic, happy crowd of young men and women into a fervent, earnest, business-like force of young Catholic apostles. The keynote of the meeting itself was interest. Problems were discussed with great vitality; solutions, intelligent and hopeful, were offered; theories were pro pounded. Matters do not remain within the room's four walls. An immense amount of practical, important good is wrought through these meetings, since the aims discussed are rarely left unaccomplished. As for variety activities include Cath olic Writing clubs, Periodicals, Missions, Catechetical work, Braille, Loyalty to the Pope, International Relations, and a Respect for Women Crusade. Even Life's most exacting should find her special spice here. Verbum sapi- enti I'll meet you at the next meeting on March 10 at 10 o'clock, 28 North Franklin. Until then, remember Virginia. SKYSCRAPINGS Mary Catherine Schmelzer and Rita Patterson, two senior devotees of things terpsichorean, were seen at a recent per formance of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe. A number of Mundelein students in cluding Margaret Vidas, Grace Burns, Rosemary McVey, and Mary Margaret Nolan, were seen on the dance floor of the Aragon ballroom during the North western University Charity Ball. Emer Phibbs gave a farewell party on last Sunday evening in honor of her cou sin, Emelda Knox, who is returning to her home in England. Virginia Woods, Ruth Tangney, and Mary Agnes Tynan were present at the affair. Catherine Manske, who is prefect of the Mundelein College Sodality, recently attended a concert given by the Min neapolis Symphony Orchestra. Miss Manske accompanied Miss Eleanor Schmidt, head of Catholic Relations in the Girl Scout organization, and had the distinction of sitting in the box of the Right Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D. Gertrude Meyers took a trip to Battle Creek, Michigan, last week end. Mary O'Brien, Margaret Cleary, Bon nie I.arkin, and Gladys Henry were among the Mundelein students who at tended the Loyola Interfraternity dance at the Tower Town club. If you were curious about Eileen Bar- tels' bandage-swathed arm last week, we shall try to clear up the situation. It seems that Eileen was not trying to create a new style. She had really been bitten by a dog, and the wounds are healing very nicely. Padraic Colum, Irish Writer, Visits College (Continued from page 1, col. 2) which gives rise to good style. We were interrupted by an eager group with ardent desires to conduct the poet through the building, and he departed in the center of a little circle of excited ad mirers who were charmed by the spell of simplicity in a true artist, a great poet, and a gentleman about whom hung the enchantment of fairy and folk tales and of a wonderful kindliness. Among the many books of prose and poetry which have made Mr. Colum fa mous are, Wild Earth, The Road Round Ireland, The Fountain of Youth, Dra matic Legends, Creatures, Hawaiian Tales and Legends, and such immortal children's stories as The Boy Who Knew What The Birds Said, and The Girl Who Sat By The Ashes. STORY OF CHRISTIANITY TOLD IN MOTION PICTURE The glorious story of Christianity was presented to the students of Mundelein College, on Feb. 21, in Through the Centuries, a film soon to be released at a loop theater. Pedro de Cordoba, the reader for the picture, is an honorary member of the Mundelein Laetare players. The picture may be classed as an achievement in the realm of Catholic Ac tion since it is a graphic portrayal of the international blossoming of the Catholic Church from the tiny seed sown on the shore of the peaceful sea of Galilee. The progress of the Church is sketched from its bloody birth in the Roman Coliseum to its sovereign maturity, as expressed by Eucharistic Congresses and the number of its religious and lay members, at home and abroad. Mr. Cordoba, who interprets the action of the film, is a distinguished Shakes pearean actor, and was made an honorary member of the Laetare players when he visited the College in November 1931 and addressed the drama students. The picture is sponsored by the Catholic Church and School Visual Education Society.
