Loyolans Shine At Tea Dansant Stag lines, tea with sugar, music by Dick Fink, the Big Apple called by Jack Downey, demonstrated by the Reilly Twins and Bud Marguerite, and enjoyed by approximately 350 colle gians combined to make the Loyola- Mundclcin tea dance on Feb. 16 the most successful in a long series of such parties. Helen Coleman, president of the Mundelein Student Activities Council, and John Vader, president of the Loy ola Student Council, were co-chair men for the affair, which was held in the Mundelein gymnasium. Sandra of News Is Forum Guest Sandra, editor of Today's Woman, fashion section of the Chicago Daily News, which is syndicated to leading papers all over the United States, ap peared as guest speaker on the Col lege radio forum over WCFL on Feb. 10, discussing spring styles and the Mundelein Charm and Personality course with Helen Coleman, Roberta Scheid, Patricia Driscoll, and Jane Malkemus '37. In real life Mrs. Robert Keane Cald well, Sandra, who is exactly what the average collegian expects a fashion edi tor to be charming, smartly dressed, natural, enthusiastic has done fash ion writing for six years, and before becoming a writer was a successful stylist. Her definition of Charm an in ner glow, a true sincerity closed the broadcast. Members of Sigma Rho Upsilon, alumnae drama group, presented scenes from Tue Order Of The Purple Heart, on the broadcast last evening. Attorney Defends New Deal Program In an interview following his lecture on Representative Government Under the Constitution, given before the as sembly on Feb. 10, Mr. Frank O'Con nor, prominent attorney and member of the National Farm Board, declared his approval of the New Deal policies. Referring to the National Labor Re lations Board, he stated that it is a ''potent remedy in our national labor crisis, and that, he believes, the country will soon feel the results of its efficient action. For many years prominent in civic life and governmental affairs, Mr. O' Connor has studied at some length the political situation in the several states and in Washington, and has made an intensive study of the uni-camcral system of legislation. Mr. O'Connor declared that he believes this system has both good and bad features, but that its defects seem rather to out weigh the good which might come to the states from its adoption. It's trial in Nebraska, however, he concluded, has nqt culminated in any thing disastrous to that state. Retreat Master Qives Positive Plan for Youth Realization by adults that modern youth is not a problem but that mod ern youth has problems of its own is, according to the Reverend J. Roger Lyons, S.J., of the Queen's Work staff, one of the more significant steps for ward in the solution of the moral ques tions that face young people today. In an interview following the an nual student retreat, which Father Ly ons gave Feb. 1-4, he pointed out that youth today is openly challenged by the so-called conventions of immoral ity. Books, magazines, motion pictures, and the theatre are constantly impres sing upon imitative human nature mor al images that are altogether false. Older people, as Father Lyons pointed out in a retreat lecture, who for the past 20 years have shaken their heads wryly over flaming youth, have at last awakened to these truths, and are beginning to lament the in creasing moral negligence. Spotlights of publicity are continually being thrown on the negative side of morality, building up the idea that it is impossible to attain moral per fection. This negative concentration, Father Lyons insists, is absolutely false. Ca tholic tradition can hold up innumer able models, real people who lived wholesome lives because they main tained their moral integrity. Discussing practical ways for Cat ho lie youth to meet these problems, Fa ther Lyons said: Pope Pius X, who popularized frequent Communion, gave Catholic youth a sure-fire protection against moral disintegration. A. M. to P. M. Student to Talk At Peace Meeting Rita O'Donohue, president of the In ternational Relations club, will give a paper on The Mother Looks'at Peace, at the Catholic Association for Inter national Peace convention, which will be held at Mt. Mary college, Milwau kee, on Feb. 26. Club members who will be delegates lo the convention include Miss O'Don ohue, Roberta Scheid, Anna Mae O'Car- roll, Betty Vestal, and Ruth Janiszew- ski. Present French Cinema A French cinema, Augier-Sandeau's Le Gendre de Monsieur Poirier, spon sored by the French department, will be presented in the auditorium next Fri day at 3 o'clock. This play is one of a series of French cinemas presented during the year. All Wills Strong, Says Psychologist Head appeal, heart appeal, and ac tion are the keys to will power, de clared the Reverend Charles I. Doyle, S.J., of the psychology department of Loyola university, in his lecture on Mental Hygiene before members of the psychology classes on Feb. 9. Father Doyle discredited the cur rent craze for character-building books, pointing out that these supposed guides to the development of will power sub stitute the synthetic for the real. Everyone, except a mental patient, has a strong will, Father insisted. Wills do not need strengthening; they need education. The power is there; the skill must be acquired. As a medium for the training of the will, Father Doyle advised the organ ization of a value scale, an outline map which lists things in the order of their importance. Father Doyle's lecture was the first of a series on mental hygiene. : - Alumnae Leaders Plan Carnival c gt; PLANNING THE CARNIVALUMNA, to be-held in the social'rooms and in the gymnasium on Feb. 25, are Ann Lally '35, center, chairman, and, left to right, Mary Irving '34, Josephine McGurn '32, Mary Frances Burke '34, Jean McKeever Egan '37, Gloria Barry '34, Margaret Wenigman '35, Virginia Bosch '35, Lucille Barett Jautz '35, Mar guerite Collins '36, Florence O'Callahan '36. LIPPING through the pages of the Notre Dame annual next June, any one will be able to see a huge picture of Eleanor Lally, freshman of the brown-eyes. But don't let this pre cipitate an exodus en masse to the gold- dome University, because they haven't gone co-ed. Eleanor is Junior Prom Queening it at Notre Dame. Inciden tally, Mundelcinites have taken over seriously this business of stealing the social spotlight. Roberta Scheid, big-wigging it with a committee-mem ber, had her name on the N. D. Engi neer-ball invitations, and Gertrude Sweeney, observing the old Mundelein proverb of stealing a march by lead ing a march, headed a wing of the Loyola Junior Prom. UR very best gardenias to the no ble freshmen who spent the after noon of Freeday Jan. 31 escorting guests of a PWA tour through the building. Cited for honor, they arc Mary Caro line Bemis, Winifred Grcenspahn, Mary Ruth Venn, Elaine Daly, Lucille O'Connell, Ruth Mary Gamber, Betty Riordan, Dorothy Sugrue, Irene Kon- kolitz, Rosemary Ritten, and Eileen Upton. HAT we like about the Terrapin race to Clarke college is the non chalant ease with which the aquatic ex perts have rerouted the Mississippi Ri ver. Tracing their progress on the book store-lounge chart, they are swim ming along the Father of Waters, which takes its rise in Chicago, pro ceeds west and north through Rock ford and Dixon, to Dubuque, 187 miles away Why? As training for the Telegraphic and the Interclass meets and with the aid of the accounting department we have figured that if 11 lengths of the pool equals one- eighth mile, 16,456 lengths will equal Dubuque. ICEST thing about semesterlies is not that they mark the end of green book worries for another quarter The fact is that they bring a new crop of greener - than - green freshies who begin operations immedi ately. This time, Spanish II Instructor Gloria Barry is involved in the Infant Intrigue. A couple of Wednesdays ago, Miss Barry was peacefully sitting in the Faculty room, marking attend ance cards, when in came a freshic, brand-new, and in much of a dither about registration. Miss Barry helped her, upon request, to wade through the pen-and-ink preliminaries, and, as the conversation progressed, asked her in what courses she had registered. Run ning over her list, the little freshie quickly ennumeratcd the usual English, history, and science, and coming to Spanish II, raised a quizzical eyebrow; I wonder what that's like? Said Spanish II Instructor Barry, Oh, grammar, and reading, and . Hum, replied the innocent frosh re- resignedly, the same old thing Well, thanks loads, I'll be seeing you in class Friday. INE of our sage sophomores have long cherished a desire to ski in Rtiffalo and to see Niagara Falls. Hopefully they seized upon the long week-end between semesters, and made their reservations early. But the day they left, the famous bridge collapsed. See the following for particulars about Niagara's fall: Betty Vestal, Joan Kaspari, Helen Condon, Josephine Wall, Marion McGinnis, Maureen Law. Beth Stephens, Betty Fagan, and Lor raine Fratini. ND speaking of social whirls, and super gala events and such, let me remind you that for a plus-perfect pre- patriotic eve, Mundelcin's Junior Prom is the thing to be doing. Get out your little hatchet, chop away your heavy tree of cares, and make your way to the Stevens on Monday.
