'56 Graduate Relates Adventures As Fulbright Winner in France Foundation des Etats Unis 15 Boulevard Jourdan Paris 14, France October 2,1958 Dear Sisters, Just pretend that you are in no way interested in my spelling or grammar; just relax and savor with me some of my new foreign experiences. As you can see by the address, I am spending the month of October in Paris at the Foundation des Etats Unis, a pavilion in the Cite Universitaire. The first time I saw the Cite I was sitting in 605 watching Sister Mary St. Irene's film about student life in Paris. I'm rooming with another Ful bright from the University of Cali fornia. Our room has two beds, two desks, two chairs, and a wash- stand. With my crucifix and map on the wall and three trunks cluttering the room, I feel quite at home. I arrived in Paris last Saturday afternoon with the other Fulbrights who also crossed on the Flandre. Classes do not start until tomorrow, so I can give no academic report, ex cept to say that I bought a Petit La- rousse and started reading Moliere's Lc Misanthrope. Since I've been in Paris for only four days, I certainly wouldn't dare to try to discuss the city. Fielding can do a much better job. SUNDAY MORNING I caught a metro across the street and went to Notre Dame for Mass. Much to my surprise, the organist was giving a Bach recital at the same time. Sun day was also oui or non day for the Fifth French Republic. The elec tions were very quiet. So far, I've seen the Opera, the Comedie-Francaise, Sainte Chapelle, and the big three of the Louvre. This sightseeing ought to last me for a while, at least until I unpack and wash out a few clothes. Monday we received our first paychecks. The payments are cer tainly adequate enough for room and board, but one must manage carefully to fit in the extras like operas and theaters. My French is all right; my courage is high. It takes American spunk to jump into a French milieu and start parlezing. Tomorrow night I will start giving English lessons to two students in exchange for help in French. It is not too difficult to cultivate French acquaintances, if one takes ad- Library Display Urges Education for Adults The campus library will cooperate in the recognition of American Edu cation Week, Nov. 9 to 15, with an in formative display on Lifelong Learn ing. The emphasis of the exhibit will be on the advancement of adult education throughout the United States. All schools, places of business and public libraries have been asked to co operate with the campaign. vantage of the situations offered. Last night, my roommate, another Ameri can and I had Moroccan tea with two students from Casablanca. We chatted, drank tea and listened to classical music. What a lovely way to spend an evening I HOPE THAT a number of this year's seniors are planning to apply for Fulbrights. They've got to be given to someone and certainly Mun delein's seniors are as well-prepared as any I've met. (In fact, one boy from the deep South drawled last night at dinner, Hey, you all, what's the French word for bread? ) I am most grateful to all of you for helping to make this year of study possible for me. With God's help, I'm sure it will be most profitable educa tionally, formally and informally. Please remember me in your prayers. Sincerely, Diane Sherwood P. S. If you'd like to send me anything but bills, my mailing ad dress is: Miss Diane Sherwood U. S. Education Commission for France c/o Rue Chardin Paris 16, France Sodalists Cooperate With Notre Dame For Study Weekend Taking Pope Pius XII's definition of sodalities, Catholic action under the auspices of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as a theme, three sodalists attended a study weekend at St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind., Nov. 1 and 2. The weekend served as an opportunity for sodalists to share their understanding and experience of the sodality way of life. Prefect Barbara Bukowski and two spiritual council members, Kathy Griffin and Ann Moran, at tended conferences. Sessions started at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and ended with Benediction at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Conferences open to representative sodalists from all ports of the country included The Message in the Lourdes Encyclical by Father Bernard Mul- hern S.J., The Apostolate by Rev erend Bernard Cooke, S.J., and The Probation Period by Jack Hissong, alumni sodalist of John Carroll uni versity. WAA Sponsors 'Date with Ace' WAA will sponsor a bridge-pinochle tournament Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. in the gym. The rules require contestants to enter as partners. They may play as many games as they wish and submit the highest score. How ever, no team can challenge the same opponent twice. The tournament is open to all Mun delein and Loyola students. A 50-cent entrance fee will be charged for all players. Prizes will be awarded to the high scoring team in each division. Marge Siemieniak, WAA president, is in charge of both divisions. Stranded Students Spend Half-hour In Stalled Elevator Ed. Note In the last issue of the paper, Skyscrapings asked for a solu tion to the mystery of the 18 girls who were late for class and blamed eleva tor trouble. Operator Yolande Rob- bins accounts for the misadventure in a story which is particularly dear to the hearts of the editors because it came unsolicited from a student who actually READ the paper. Students who were somewhere be tween the fourth and fifth floors at ap proximately 8:57 a.m. two weeks ago were in the midst of a mild uproar. Mild, that is, if they weren't one of those souls who was stuck in a certain north elevator somewhere between the fourth and fifth floors. Those in the elevator were in the midst of a minor panic. Being Mundelites, the pas sengers reacted quickly and point edly. What happened? We're stuck Oh, no, I can't be late. How're we going to get out of here? The operator sank to her knees (an act not motivated by piety) and wondered why, of all places, did they have to get stuck in- BETWEEN floors? Then suddenly, there was light from the other elevator, that is. The operator of the stricken shaft delved into the depths of her memory to come up with the name of her fellow operator, but all attempts proved futile. The S.O.S. had to go out in the form of cries of O, other elevator Help was promised. About fifteen minutes later, a repairman arrived, informed the operator that she was stuck and told the passengers to sit tight (but there was standing room only). By 9:20, there was a frightening calm. At 9:27, all became, once again, the masters of their destiny. An other crisis had been survived in the ups and downs and in-betweens of an elevator operator's life. Parisian Company Stages Performance At Rosary College A famous group of French players will present Jean Baptiste Racine's Britannicus in French in the Rosary college auditorium Nov. 15 at 8:15 p.m. A dramatic actress from Paris, Marguerite Jamois, will play the lead role. The Paris troupe comes from the Left-Bank theater, the Vieux Colombier. They were trained by Jacques Copeau, a French pro ducer who until his death in 1950 had successfully revived French classical productions. Britannicus portrays the climactic moments in the rivalry between Nero and his stepbrother Britannicus over Nero's beloved Junie. Budding Architects Display Skill in 3-D Model Homes A model of a home that grows as the family increases, built by Senior Kathy Hendricks, is one of the nine models now on display in the glass showcase on the eighth floor. The home, a 3-D ranch house built on an imaginary lot of 2,286 square feet and selling at 20,000 to 30,000, is the result of an assignment in in terior design given by Sister Mary Blanche Marie, B.V.M. The special feature of Kathy's home is the open plan type of ar chitecture in which movable walls or partitions are used. The value of this feature lies in providing for the enlargement of the house as more space is needed. It is built on a scale of three-eighths of an inch per foot with the standard materials that every boy has used to build a model airplane, plywood, matt board, balsam and wood cement. This architect's model is complete with curtains, rugs, fireplace, picket fence and rampant blue-green analo gous colors. The purpose of construction was to be able to visualize color in 3-dimen- sional form and to test the floor plans to see if they could be functional in 3-D. Children's Book Fair Offered to Teachers By Library, Tribune The Children's Book Council of the Museum of Science and Industry and the Chicago Tribune have invited Mundelein College to share in the benefits of its annual Miracle of Books Fair. Through the courtesy of Mrs. Will, O'Reilly of the Chicago Tribune, 175 books from the festival will be on loan to Mundelein from Nov. 17 to Dec. 5. The majority of these books are on the elementary level. The purpose for sponsoring this display at Mundelein College is to ac quaint future teachers and mothers with children's books. St udcrapinad Double, double toil and trouble Fire burns, and cauldron bubbles. Though Halloween is gone for another year, it left in fine spirits. Aileen Coutre whirled with the spirits at a Halloween party given by St. William's Young Peoples' Club. Mary Ann Rubey and Donna Olshaw brewed a peck of fun at the Pi Alpha Lambda party after the Benefit Oct. 31. Phi Mu Chi invited the spirits of June Gardula, Mary Jane Burns, Jean Peterson, Roberta Bernahl and Kathleen Fitzpatrick. Not to be undone, Mary Sue Beck, Mary Costello, Nancy Schermerhorn and Marilyn Bowen went trick-and-treating Hal loween Night (after the Benefit). A hit, a very palpable hit. The 5th Army attended the Benny Goodman benefit in the persons of Martin Getzler of Burbank, Calif., and Richard Swanson of Galesburg, 111., who confessed to being a bit below the rank of general. All the world's a stage Brigid Duffy and Rose Rohter attend the Reader's Theatre at St. Andrews where they participate in original scripts. Both have recorded The Crooked Lines of God at the Civic Opera House for possible use on radio. Brigid also attended the play Tunnel of Love starring Eddie Bracken. Ruth French saw Hamlet, Roberta Temple was seen in the crowd viewing Gigi and Barbara Covey went to the Lyric Opera. For more excitement in the entertainment world Marie Kammerle took in the Roller Derby, and Barbara Guderian enjoyed the Ice Follies. For extra thrills at the opera June Gardula was pinned to Peter Wagner of Phi Mu Chi. Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo Weddings are in store for Lucille Black who set the date with Philip W. Snyder, president of De Paul's Phi Sigma Phi. Helen Zelis and Alexander Kisla have also set the date with their Romeos who are Joseph Bendoraites and Jeffery Rappaporte. Sigh no more ladies But like the rest join in the fun. If you don't mind the cold follow the example of Dorothy Thomas who attended a bermuda shorts party at Alpha Sigma Phi. If you like football join the crowd at Notre Dame Ruth Charlton, Marge Gross, Maureen Murphy, Julianne Benedict, Helen Daly, Bonnie Rinder, Nancy Butler, Mary Minnewigen, Mary Jane Bowler, Therese McManamon, Diane Kl.--.cl. Marilyn Riha and Ann Anderson. If you like to visit get on the go to St. Joe's like Joan McCabe, Joan Vlcek, and Dorothy Matthei, and if this doesn't appeal to you be like Carmelina Napolitano who went to the Hillside Country Club. But tell me . . . and by me may it be done. This may well be the motto of Sheila Kelly and Willimethra Reed who served as hostesses for the Catholic Interracial Council's breakfast in the Morrison Hotel Oct. 28. To be or not to be Should hems go up or down? Rosemary Collins and Judy Angone have de cided Paris is right hems go up. I would fain die a dry death. Who says Patricia Bozis, Barbara Ingo, Marie Ferrara, Rita Quigley and Barbara White can't swim? Why, they're new members of the Terrapin Club. There is occasions and causes why and wherefore in all things. Writers, when on a hot story, twist things, such as paper clips, to relieve tension. The Review to save paper clips has furnished its staff with long wires so that they may twist to their hearts content. The Skyscraper staff doesn't twist paper clips, but relieves tension by making newcomers guess why their mascot teddy bear drawn by Mary Anne King is named Aloysius. (Hint: Aloysius is a character in English literature.) What's in a name ? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Resident senior Mary Ann Wilczynski received a call late one night from Rensselaer, Ind. She says it was her aunt. And speaking of names, can anyone identify the name of the stamp collector who turned in at the bookstore four packages of foreign stamps solicited from Time and Life Inc.? Her contribution was worthy of a special note of thanks if anybody knows who she is.
