The Flying Saucers have land ed Ruth Wolf, Patricia Dwyer, Barbara Jo Sommers, and Mary Lou Lawless were the first to sight the strange craft as they were on their way home from the Notre Dame-Purdue football game. They ran and told Alice Bourke, Julie Lyman, and Irene Shay who were preparing for Notre Dame's Sophomore Cotillion. They in turn told Charlene Kolar who was rushing off to see No Time For Sergeants. The saucers were from Mars. Their passengers were strange lit tle green men. Magdaline Mont- briand bravely asked one of the creatures if Mars was anything like British Columbia, Canada, where she spent the summer. lie spoke English fluently and declared that his native planet is a cross between Los Angeles where Margaret Ryan and Violet Marti- no visited, and Rheiner, Wisconsin, to which Mary Vivian Cunnea, journeyed. Mr. Mars Citizen, spoke up Eileen McAvoy, Janet Lynch, and Janice Piesko, Do you have dances like the St Joseph's Chicago Club dance, on Mars? This prompted Rachel Hernan dez, Mary Therese Burke, Judith Bogan, Virginia Brown, Marilyn Burchett, Brigid Duffy, Mary Ann Morgan, Kathleen McDermott, and Roberta Temple to ask if there were Homecoming weekends like the one they attended at St. Joe's. The little green fellow assured them that such events take place on Mars. In fact, he said, we even have formats like the one given by Alpha Delta Gamma. This made Darlene Harmston and Katherine Newman decide that they would like Mars. A companion of our Martian friends spoke up then and said that I ike Michigan made him home sick for Mars. Sharon Peterson, Catherine Maylan, Joan Collins, Patricia Huppert, and Cynthia Ma- jewski knew just how he felt, since they miss the good times they had at Long Lake. Patricia Coakley, Mary Therese Lenihan, Darlene Martin, Rose mary O'Connor, Denise Heffernan, Kathleen Thomas, Martha Master- son, and Patricia Guadagno pro ceeded to tell the unearthly vis itors all about football as played by Notre Dame and Indiana. They had never heard of foot ball, nor had they heard of the ()zarks where Barbara Phelan vis ited during the summer. Geraldine Lynch, Mary Eileen Dwyer, Bar bara Annetti, Marilyn Riha, and Katherine Mulligan invited them to the Notre Dame Chicago Club dance. The Martian men were becoming popular as Ann Marie Toland told them of the De Paul costume ball, Anne Molloy of an Illinois dance, Delores Cinal described a week end at Wabash college, Jean En- gelhardt grew eloquent about the Northwestern-Iowa game, and Kathleen Slattery about the North western Triangle dance. Patricia Byers, Moira Coleman, Jeanine Dwyer, Natalie Indelli, Mary O'Malley, and Cynthia Swan- son stopped by for a peek at the Martians on their way to the Pi- Alpha party, as did Rosalie Afri- cano on her way to Notre Dame's homecoming. Before returning home our out- of-this-world friends learned that Patricia Collins Nihio was married during the summer and has re turned as a special student. All the little green men decided that Earth is even better than Mars.
