Page Two SKYSCRAPER Dior Beware Skyline Fashion Outmodes H'Line What woman doesn't love a new fall outfit? Though she's earned de grees in science and philosophy, her mind is stimulated by a Lily Dache chapeau or a Jonathon Logan crea tion. Despite her vast erudition, Munde lein exudes feminity also. Her walls sparkle with a new youthfulness in their fresh fall outfits of pinks, greens and blues. After a face-lifting job of tuckpointing, Mundelein dons her new roof with a debonair flair. As she primps before a vast au dience traveling up Sheridan Road, the years fall away. She blooms like a youthful building of sixteen, in stead of an almost matronly twenty- five. Divertissement . . . New World Is Open To Don Camillo Don Caniillo's Dilemma by Giovan ni Guareschi is a new set of short stories by the author of The Little World of Don Camillo. The rollick ing antics of a strong-fisted, kind- hearted Italian priest provide both amusement and propaganda. Pans of Guareschi will find all of their favor ites in this latest book. There's Pep- pone, the communist mayor of the small town along Italy's Po river, and Brusco, his cohort. The engaging townspeople with their divided loyal ties are present, along with Don Ca millo and his crucifix of Christ, who talks to him. For those young enough to have missed seeing Gone With The Wind, the re-issue of it at the United Artists is an opportunity to see a classic mov ie. Presented in cinemascope, the picture lasts almost four hours. Noth ing has been cut from the original ver sion, not even the gory battlefield and hospital scenes. It is a realistic por trayal of a war which is often over glorified. Vivien Leigh is a striking Scarlett O'Hara and Clark Gable's youthful appearance isn't very much different from his now mature de meanor. What Do You Think Pater Noster or Our Father In The Mass Scattered in the pews watching the wedding ceremony are the Catholic and non-Catholic friends of the bride and groom. While the priest reads to them of the seriousness of the step they are about to take and the young couple recite aloud their vows to one another, everyone in the church leans forward so as not to miss any of the beautiful words. As that ceremony ceases and the even more important ceremony of the Mass begins everyone leans back, the look of intense interest is lost, and patient fingering of rosary beads and turning of pages in the missal begin. Those who are obviously non-Catholics begin studying each detail on their watches, the ceiling and the people around them. Some begin to whis per, a man in the back is sound asleep holding his head on his hand. In the choir loft a woman is singing the Latin of the Mass, her words meaningless to the majority of the congregation below. As each is sitting there, or kneeling or standing, as the part of the Mass would indicate, in a state of borderline boredom, the priest is reciting some of the beautiful and meaningful prayers of the Church. When the Mass is ended and everyone leaves the Church to congratu late the bride and groom, a couple of middle aged ladies tell one another very nice and for many, the Mass becomes something pushed back into a corner, someplace easy to forget. What would have happened, however, if that same ceremony through out had been in clear and audible English for all to understand If all could have heard how clearly the Church states right in the wedding Mass her stand on marriage, that these two people are now one, and that's why no man can separate them? Wouldn't the Catholics understand and appreciate a little more the meaning of their part in the Mystical Body as they see a liv ing example of it standing before them? Wouldn't those who know noth ing about our Church know and understand a little more after the Credo, and perhaps realize that far from outlawing the Bible we use it in the most important ceremony in the Church? Couldn't the Mass in our own language open door upon door of under standing and appreciation of the Mass, making it the living and integral part of Catholic life it was always intended to be? Student View . . . European Alliance West Germany Is The European Defense Commun ity is dead. After a bitter battle of minds and words of several years duration, it was finally laid to rest this summer. The collapse of EDC has left a vacuum in the strategy of European defense. News from Europe the past few weeks has reverberated with the new plans of British Foreign Minis ter Eden, France's Premier Mendes- France, and our own Secretary of State Dulles. Whether these succeed is another question it was France who suggested EDC and it was France who killed it. In order to understand France's situation and the resulting ada mant stand she takes on German rearmament, one need only look to recent history. Twice within the past 25 years she has seen Germany, intoxicated with the wine of nationalism, march on her beloved soil. Looking at West Germany of to day, France has due cause for appre hension. Germany of 1954 is not the Germany of 1945. It is far more ad vanced economically today than it was in Hitler's prime. The immense job of reconstruction was facilitated by the same German vigor and industry which gave a little corporal dreams of dictatorship. Hence, France's slowness in extend ing the hand of friendship and trust to the Bonn government is quite nat ural. But if the German people are going to go mad again, paper limita tions will not stop them. For A Risk West Germany has much to of fer the free world. Not only is she the last frontier of democra tic government in the west, she is also a startling contrast to her sister, economically and literally, starved East Germany. She has steadfastly climbed to a position of note in the fields of manu facturing and construction. Conse quently, if only for purely commercial reasons, the entrance of Germany into a pact of peaceloving nations would be an expedient step. It cannot be denied that continued German acceptance of democratic principles is a risk but a risk worthy to be taken. . West Germany cannot be ignored, nor can she be put off in definitely. There are too many Ger mans, and they are too industrious, vigorous and intelligent to be neu tralized. Unjust limitations and impo sitions delaying her acceptance into the union of free nations will serve only to humiliate her proud people. In 1933 a fanatic named Hitler used just such real and imagined grievances as a springboard for personal gain. At this time, formal acceptance of of West Germany into a western European alliance may be viewed as a post-haste proposition, as well as a risk. However, the field of interna tional relations always involves a cer tain amount of chance. West Germany, 1954, is cer tainly worth the gamble WhatQoesOn . . . We have arrived .. . ... at school where everything seems a little longer than it did last year. Hair is longer, stockings are longer (knee-length is the thing, you know), lists of assignments and weeks seem longer. ... at the skyscraper where every thing is brighter, cleaner, fresher, where life presents its challenge not only to the carefree freshman but to the comprehensive-bound, where all but the hard of heart get that filled- up feeling seeing the new senior make her first trip down the aisle in cap and gown. ... at the time when September ambitions have gone up in the smoke of October's leaves and hibernation seems more and more like a rational activity. One sure cure for drowsy October apathy is a reading of Philip Wylie's Tomorrow with its all too vivid telling of the war that will end war and its effect on families as fa miliar as your own. ... at Benefit time when Mimi Ben- zell and Eugene Conley will sing with the music of David Bose to a filled Opera House, to you, and you, and you. ... at the waiting for the weekend stage once again, forgetting that time spent in wishing and waiting can nev er be spent in living, forgetting thai Christ-living demands the sanctifica- tion of the moment, the carrying of each minute's cross or the giving T each joy. ... determined to make this Jubilee year one to be remembered not onlj from a restricted, purely personal viewpoint, but memorable because ol the larger, community spirit whici will make its every venture a success.
