Summer Tour Expands Freshman Russian Study Two freshman Russian students have been elected to participate in summer study of Russian at Mos cow State University, under the auspices of Southern Illinois Uni versity, Carbondale, 111. Marguerite Flanagan, an ele mentary Russian student at Mun delein, qualified for the trip on the strength of her grades and recommendations by Sister Arline Keown, Russian department, and former high school teachers. The completion of a year of college Russian is also a prerequisite. Valerie Ciemiewski, a Loyola freshman studying intermediate Russian on the joint program at Mundelein, was also selected for the trip, and will study advanced Russian.

But what could we expect, by flaunting the elemental cycle of semester breaks with our feeble trimester? Poetic justice, of course. A whole city de-automated in a day, and it was us against the elements. The tea room resembled a ski lodge, and for once it was in bad taste to com plain about the food. Wholesale campus rediscovery was under way, as people puzzled over the alien The students will fly to London June 23, then sail to Leningrad via steamship, with stopovers in Hel sinki and Copenhagen. For five hours a day, five days a week, the collegians will study Rus sian at Moscow State University for four weeks, followed by two more weeks of study in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Featured also are seminars with various leaders in Russian writing, art, economics and education. A stay at an interna tional student camp in Russia is also planned. When classes are completed, the students will take final exams and will be awarded diplomas from Moscow State University. Partici pants will receive ten credit hours for their summer work. H SM Ok iff 9 in /1*iW 61/ILL forms around the library and walked unwittingly over cars on Sheridan Road. Art majors en gineered a very unfunctional sub- drift tunnel from the Northland to the main building. Sedate Scho lastics revived the lost art of snow angel making in front of the Yel low House. High school prospects had arrived Friday primed for a day of classes, but being snow bound instead clinched their re solve to come to Mundelein. Ah, the exhilaration of an emergency A lot of controversial ideas are aired at Social Science Colloquium, (whoever hit upon this happy term?) But never have they met with such a vocal response. Mrs. Matasar was recently interrupted in the middle of a pet theory on forcing farmers into factories by anguished, and, even more stag gering, male screams from the nearby alley. Cryptically remark ing, I'll be back, Dr. Barta, one of the Colloquium instructors, strode grimly out of the room, and minutes later the apprehensive class heard a whistle which would have dampened the resolve of the Boston Strangler. There followed an ominous silence, as the culprit, You're invited to a MIXER SATURDAY, FEB. 11 lt; from 8:30 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. a on the 1 Ith floor of the ' SHERATON-CHICAGO , HOTEL 505 North Michigan Avenue ( Starring GARY ; and the KNIGHT LITES plus a SURPRIZE BAND with the i latest sounds of dancing CASUAL DRESS , (e.g. sweaters, sport shirts, slacks, etc. Suits dresses are O.K. too.)

Dean's Board watchers were a bit taken aback by a terse notice, ad dressed to students, to the effect that all smoking activities in the main building should cease. Many students, cut to the quick, remon strated that if they had smoked at all, it was in imitation of high- level bad examples not alluded to in the notice. Could this mean a mass migration to nicotine-stained Northland classrooms as of next registration? Incidentally, North land classes, with their easily available ashtrays, have been esti mated to be the greatest single cause of formerly unsullied souls turning to tobacco. Library lurkers were recently unnerved by a suspiciously large Communications I class which trooped through all four levels of the mansion in search of that elu sive secret, How to Use the Li brary. Along the way the class picked up several stray auditors who had never quite mastered the knack. If English majors are unsure of Dr. Fortune's function at Munde lein, Coffey residents are even less so. When told that that nebulous figure had finally been pinned down to Coffey's guest room, the stu dents evinced only relief that a doctor had at last been sent to tackle the various epidemics now ravaging the building, notably gan grene due to the rash of ear-pierc ings which has broken out in the vicinity. The Revue promises to be a real extravaganza, if they ever figure out a way to coordinate such widely divergent topics as The naming of Chicago, gambols in Old Town and the Great Chicago Fire, with as sorted tap-dancing interludes. Cer tain elements feel, however, that a musical adaptation of, say, the Stu dent Handbook, would be more topical. Tully College Seeks Candidate for Best Dressed Mundelein's representative for Glamour magazine's Ten Best- Dressed College Girls of 1967 was chosen Feb. 1 from 16 candidates at a fashion show at 3:30 p.m. in McCormick Lounge. The competition consisted of two parts. Each girl modeled an off-campus outfit and a long or short party dress. Then the judges questioned the girls on a variety of subjects; the final selection was made from these responses. The freshman candidates were Virginia Arcenas, Mary Beth Buckley, Diane Marino and Gisela Riba, while Phyllis DeRosa, Char lotte Malone, Jame Wilheimus and Sue Wright represented the sopho mores. The junior class selected Pat Fitzsimmons, Jamee Monroe, Gay Moran and Denise Prevender. The senior candidates were Danae Alexander, Mary Barmes, Janet Bina and Rose Panther. The judges were Marilyn Gibbs, president of Alpha Omicron, the home economics club; Mary Ann Griffin, Mundelein Student Con gress president; Judy Pearson, senior art major; Shawn Reynolds, an exchange student from St. John's University; Kathy Flynn, Skyscraper staff member; and Sis ter June O'Connor, theology de partment. The winner will be photographed in three different outfits: typical campus, off-campus daytime and party. These pictures will be sub mitted to Glamour magazine for the semifinalist competition. The ten final winners will be the guests of Glamour for the month of June and will be featured in the August issue. The four representatives from each class were chosen by student vote Jan. 26. They were judged by their classmates on the following criteria: understanding fashion type; workable wardrobe plan; suitable campus look; appropriate look for off-campus events; individ uality in use of colors and acces sories. The contest at Mundelein was sponsored by the Mundelein Stu dent Congress and organized by Mary Barmes, delegate at large.
