James J. Gleason and George Spring- borg represented Creighton, upholding the affirmative of the powers of the pres ident question, and James McKian and Louis Tordella represented Loyola on the negative. William Lamey of Loyola was chairman. The Creighton team is on a two-weeks' tour through Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. They will debate eight uni versities, and participate in the Delta Sig ma Rho tournament at the University of Wisconsin. I The Reverend W. J. Finan, S.J., di rects the Creighton team. William H. Conley, M.A., is the Loyola coach. Choose Honorary Basketball Team The names of those players who have been selected for the Honorary Varsity Basketball team for 1934 have just been released from the sports office. The six girls chosen for this honor competed on the teams during the inter-mural and class tournaments and were selected on the basis of playing ability, sportsman ship, and co-operation. The list is as follows: Irene Lavin '35 Dorris Brown '37 Alice O'Brien '37 Helen Daly '35 Eveyln Lincoln '34 Jane Molloy '35 A survey of the above team shows that only one senior, Evelyn Lincoln, made the team. Miss Lincoln has been prominent in all sports during her four years at Mundelein and is one of the seniors elig ible, for the Gold Seal the highest award the W.A.A. can give. Three juniors, members of the cham pionship team, also appear on the list. Irene Lavin, star center and captain, is especially deserving of the honor con ferred upon her. It is agreed throughout sport circles at Mundelein that she is one of the finest basketball players in the Col lege. Miss Lavin played on St. Agatha's team last year in C.Y.O. competition. Helen Daly, who played an inspiring game as guard during the whole tourna ment, was formerly a star on the Mercy high school team. She still plays C.Y.O. basketball. Jane Molloy, the third junior, is from St. Francis college, Joliet. She played an excellent game at guard, too. No sophomores are mentioned on the list, but from the freshman class team two exceptional players were chosen, Alice O'Brien and Dorris Brown. The playing of Alice O'Brien, in particular, was espe cially impressive during the whole tour nament. She played a cool, heady game, and proved herself to be an unerring shot. She plays C.Y.O. basketball with the Our Lady of Mercy team. Dorris Brown, the second freshman, excelled in the guard position and pre vented the opposing team from scoring many a basket. She is from Marywood high school. Miss Elaine Scanlon, instructor in physical education, directed the tourna ments and was chairman of the committee that chose the Honorary Varsity team. Mem Hayes to Qo on European Tour As a reward for the rigors of a con cert tour through the Middle West, Mari Hayes, the mezzo-soprano who sang at the assembly on March 14, will receive a trip to Europe. A visit to Oberammergau for the Pas sion Play and a stay in Salzburg during the music festivals will be highlights of her tour. In Salzburg, Mrs. Hayes will meet Richard Strauss, composer of many of her favorite songs. At St. Mary's high school where she began her studies in music, Mrs. Hayes, who is the wife of Judge Lambert K. Hayes of the Municipal Court, sang ope ratic roles. Since leaving school, however, Mrs. Hayes has found her chief joy in concert work and in the singing of the German lieder.

Juniors Capture Basketball Crown for Third Season By defeating the freshman 20-13 the juniors won their third basketball cham pionship and ended the 1934 interclass tournament. The first noss-up put the ball in the hands of the freshmen, who proceeded to chalk up two points for the underclass men. Again a toss-up was taken by the same group, but they were unable to make a goal. Helen Daly intercepted the ball and sent a long pass to Clementina Paloney who sank a basket for the juniors. There was a struggle near the freshman goal, and, after four attempts, Alice O'Brien put their team ahead. Irene Lavin and Margaret Vendley each made a free throw. The freshmen got the ball, and Mildred Parker made a beautiful long shot a few seconds before the whistle, making the score 7-3 in favor of the freshmen at the end of the first quarter. Alice O'Brien shot the first goal of the second quarter. Margaret Vendley made two free throws, and ithe defending cham pions took the ball and kept it. After many unsuccessful trials, Irene Lavin sank a basket and a free throw. Mary Jane Tully made two free throws, and at the half the freshmen were holding the juniors 11-8. During the third quarter the tide turned. The freshmen got the toss-up, but a pass was intercepted and the jun iors got the ball. Irene Lavin made two goals and a free throw', bringing the score to 13-11 in favor of the juniors. Within the first few minutes of the last quarter, Irene Lavin made three snap goals, and Mary Jane Tully made a free throw. After a smashing struggle, the freshmen got the ball. Mildred Parker sank the last basket. The whistle blew, and the defending champions won 20-13. DEAR SODALIST Dear Sodalist: Vocation week is a street car, run ning occasionally along life's journey. Once or twee a year we board it to hasten our journey to receive definite guidance in short, to make valuable progress toward Eternity. It costs a pause, a little meditation, sonie conversation with God. At every corner it awaits us this week. Why not become transportation-minded, then, along vocational paths? Why not ride the surface lines? Virginia. Wanted: A larger attendance at the weekly Sodality meeting Guaranteed to the potential crowds : a brisk business meeting, a chance to sing the Sodality Catholic Action song, and the satisfaction of knowing jtist what your Sodality, and the other 60 school so dalities of Ciscora are doing. It is the plan of the Spiritual Coun cil to make the weekly meeting as in teresting as possible, but to limit the time to one half-hour. At the meeting today at 12:20 a report of the Board meeting of last Saturday will be given. Depression? There is no such thing, at least not spiritually. Although purses are depleted, we are not handicapped in giving gifts of priceless value. Our spir itual treasury remains, and, unlike other hoards, possesses a resiliency and a sur prising depth. We of Mundelein College are putting our spiritual wealth to most worthy use when we prepare our spiritual bouquet for Cardinal Mundelein. Professor Talks on Modern World The concluding lecture in the Loyola series on the general topic, Stability in a Changing World, was delivered by the Reverend Dennis Burns, S.J., of the fac ulties of both Loyola university and Mun delein College. Father Burns based his lecture on one fundamental point, the distinction between essentials and accidentals, and on two historical facts, namely, that man is lord of the earth but not lord of the universe, and that of the coming of Christ, the Son of God. In pointing out the necessity of rec ognizing this distinction and the two his torical facts, Father Burns showed that, when men overlooked the essentials and concerned themselves with the accidentals, trouble and chaos inevitably resulted. The open forum discussion that followed the lecture was decidedly pointed, indi cating the interest of the audience in the subject. Taking the essential relations of man in the reverse order, those of the social, proprietary, and contingent nature, the lecturer showed how for the past four hundred years man has neglected them for accidentals, with the consequent ill effects we are enduring at the present time. Throughout the lecture Father Burns referred to Godless education, the lack of appropriate movies and stage pro ductions, and the paucity of uplifting lit- terature. Spring Clepsydra Honors Cardinal Spring and the Cardinal's Jubilee were most certainly in the air when the stu dents received their Spring numbers of Clepsydra, because from its red and gold cover to its several springtime themes, Clepsydra is a tribute to Spring and to the chancellor of the College, His Eminence, George Cardinal Mundelein. A striking picture of His Eminence forms the frontispiece, faced by a sonnet in his honor written by Mary Agnes Tynan. The editorial on the Cardinal is a further tribute contained in this, his Jubilee issue. Dionysius and Holy Week by Virginia Woods and Easter Parade by Mary Cath erine Schmelzer lend a timely element to the book. Then, too, everyone is just bound to come back after the Easter recess chanting some of the lilting April poems in this Vol. IV, No. 3 Clepsydra. We commend Miss Tangney's depart ment too, on its excellent section devoted to biography. Will Give Mosaics on Sunday, April 8 (Continued from page 1, col. 5) mother. However, the conclusion brings the play once more into the realm of true comedy, but one in which deep intrigue plays an important part. In lighter vein, also is the senior pres entation, Women Folk, a satire on the dominating qualities possessed by the fair ones. Nick, a young man with literary tend encies, has a life completely surrounded by women. There is his strong, forceful mother, his simpering aunt, his poised and sophisticated fiancee, and his sweet, retir ing little secretary, who in the end shows that even she has that feminine habit of domination. The trials and tribulations of the young hero are as appealing as they are riotous, but as the curtain drops there is a sudden calm which only a rather unexpected conclusion could have brought about. SKYSCRAPINGS Although social activities have been rather few and far between during the Lenten season, the horizon is brightening in anticipation of the coming Spring vaca tion. Most of the students are planning to adhere to a strenuous program of at tendance at services during Holy Week, and they are all looking ahead to Easter with its promise of a new straw hat and the possibility of acquiring a long-eared pink bunny, or an Easter basket. Marion Ryan, the dark-haired senior Laetare Player who recently read, before the Joyce Kilmer League, a review of Maurice O'Sullivan's, Twenty Years A Growing, is planning to depart for Niagara Falls where she will spend the holidays. Speaking of vacations, Betty Fraser, one of our sophomore debaters, has just returned from a drive to Flor ida. She drove her parents down and she is planning to return for an Easter visit. Oh, no. Of course we're not a bit envious because we don't like grapefruit, and somehow or other we always asso ciate Florida with grapefruit. Wo wonder if you saw Sallie Agnes Smith at John McCormack's concert last Sunday. She was one of the sprightly lassies decked out as Irish colleens who sold candy during the performance. Excelsior seems to be Sylva Aronian'b theme song these days. Sylva, who is president of the Art club, had the mis fortune to leave her hat on the eighth floor, and, as the elevators had ceased operations and she hadn't the energy to summon the operator, she toiled wearily up and down the eight flights. We wanted to call on the group of home economics students who were trying to find out how much energy one used going up stairs, but they couldn't be found. Sylva would have been such a fine experiment too, be cause she looked like she had used up enough. Marion Delahunty intends to spend a few days visiting friends in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, after Easter. Dropping into the Edgewater Beach Hotel last Saturday night we came upon a number of Mundelein girls who were attending the Sigma Tau Gamma so rority dance. Adeline Pfister, Margaret Vidas, Mary Frances Lang, Mary Lyon, and Dorris Brown were all there, dressed up in spring formals. Frances Burke, the junior Laetare Player with the nice blue eyes and the intriguing silver link belt, is playing the part of the traveler in Charles Costello's new play, Padre Carrillo. Eoslyn Bobineau and Charlotte Knerr caught our eye at a performance of of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra last week. Charlotte was so entranced by the performance of a new solo pianist, that Roslyn found it difficult to restrain her from getting up and shout ing bravo. Buth Hottinger, Catherine Schoen, Marie and Dorothy Hanley, Kay Bus- sell, Virginia Tompkins, Mary Fitzger ald, and Mary Margaret Gerrity were among those seen at the St. Patrick's Day parties at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. May Jo Josey will spend the Easter vacation with her mother in Detroit. The luckiest girl according to the seniors is Margaret Osten. ex '34 who will sail for Germany next week after being honored at a number of farewell parties, one of the most exciting being given by her cousin and a group of Princeton stu dents on the night before she leaves. Margaret, who was a member of the Stylus club last year, visited the College on March 19 and had luncheon with a number of the seniors. - '
