An hour before he spoke, he, Mar ianne Peterson, S.A.C. president, and Ita Stalzer, senior S.A.C. rcpresenta- fve, were standing in a well-known Evanston store selecting and debating he merits of blue and brown. Feeling that such a purchase needed feminine viewpoint, Mr. Eppstein, re- erring to the S.A.C. officers who had let him at the train as very com- etent young women, invited them to company him to the haberdasher. To illustrate their competence, they kricd him away from a newspaper in- erviewer, whisked him out to Evan- tun, helped him to select a blue 3bjects of Art rom World Over vtake Up Exhibit Authentic global atmosphere for the Bnited Nations Institute was created ftr an exhibit of articles ranging from Jiinesc temple bells to heather from he hills of Scotland.

Educators Encourage Student Enthusiasm for UN (Continued from page 1. column 1) friends. They should affiliate themselves with a Catholic association working for international peace. The first feminine viewpoint was voiced by gracious Miss Elizabeth M. Lynskey. You students are the mothers of our next generation. You must see that Catholic philosophy is applied in all fields politics, economics, culture. Coordinate your knowledge don't departmentalize it. Don't be selfish with the understanding of the UN you have gleaned this week. Organize into speak ing clubs, and instruct others intelli gently. v Though almost monopolized after his lecture by former students from Harvard, Mr. Louis J. A. Mercier insisted that college students should learn more about UNESCO and spread their ideas both inside and outside Catholic groups. Catholic principles are in UNESCO because it recognizes the natural rights of man under the natural law. We must not confine ourselves to working in a supernatural spirit. As the Pope says, we must be ready to operate in the natural order as well. We must establish a code based on reason and justice. Through UNESCO, all men must realize the immovable laws that men must obey if they are to sur vive. Terribly impressed, was the reaction cf Miss Catherine Schaefer, who gave the students tangible things to do to foster world peace. If every college in the United States would follow Mundelein's example, the whole cause of understanding the UN would be furthered and its chance of suc cess would be increased. Besides the prayer, correct attitudes, and study of the UN and of world con ditions which I recommended, all stu dents should join the Catholic Associa tion for International Peace, of which all the speakers here were members, so that, after graduation, they may best con tribute to Catholic thinking. Capable Mr. Richard Pattce. who logically knit the week's study into an understandable whole, advised the stu dents to take Miss Schaefer's talk to heart. The UN is not an institution but our existence. We are world citizens and we should be conscious of our obliga tions to our fellowmen. We cannot expect perfection at once. It is our job to work toward that goal. Above all, we must approach this realis tically without idealistic aspirations that all can be done at once. And most heartening of all was Car dinal Stritch's gentle assurance that there is no problem in the world today which could not be settled around a conference table . . . (the UN) is far from an ideal plan . . . but there is con tained in the Charter all the means by which it may be amended to bring it to the ideal plane.'' udcrapinad . . . There is an old saying bandied about that beauty and brains don't mix, but a pleasant mixture of both was in evi dence during the United Nations Insti tute. At the evening sessions, providing competition for the harmony of color on stage, were the gracious and fash ion-conscious hostesses. Looking very chic were Norma Bil- ler in a green crepe dinner gown, Mary Patricia Gallagher in her red mandarin jacket, and Doris O'Connor, who wore billowy white net topped by a black- and-white checked taffeta bodice. Vir ginia Perry wore an atractive seqtiin- splashcd chartreuse blouse and a black draped skirt, while Grace Foran rustled down the aisle in red and white floral print taffeta. A midnight blue velvet formal Beth Goodwillie matched with gloves and a drawstring bag. Elayne Johnston con trasted her aqua crepe dinner dress with long chocolate-brown gloves. Sil ver leaves enhanced Ethel Dignan's blue chiffon formal, and Dorothy Breit, Mary Catherine Crosby, and Lorraine King knew the effectiveness of black velvet and frothy white net. Petite Mary Jane Dougherty wore becoming pink net. and Rosetta Gio- vannelli offset her long black hair with a white satin and net dress. The black net skirt overshadowing white taffeta provided a novel touch on Jeanne Smith's velvet-topped formal. Jean Halm wore a striking red and . black combination, and black with pink eyelet-embroidery was the choice of Marcella Volini. Mary Lou Doyle wore a pastel dinner dress of two-tone blue trimmed with rose. Gay checked taf feta gave added charm to the formals of Rosemary Banner, Ursula Brodbeck. and Mary Ann Shaw. As busy as Kilroy, Mundelein col- legiates Shirley Dunmore, Patricia Donohoe, Mary Jane O'Callahan, and Mary Lenore Taafe week-ended at Champaign for the Illinois Homecom ing. Helen Hein, Lorraine Rosch, and Mary Sheehan attended the formal given by the Illinois Institute of Tech nology, and other dancing feet belong to Frances Cashman, Marian Hughes, June Kieffer, Marcella Loe, Frances Morris, Rosemary Owens, Patricia Pad den and Betty Jo Sheffield who were at the St. George Alumni dance. Music-makers Shirley Claffey and Gloria Maloney heard more of the same at the Chopin concert at Orchestra Hall, but for variety. Cecelia Godsel and Frances Malone prefer the Pop concerts. Patricia Shanahan enjoys the opera from the other side of the footlights as a page in La Giaconda, but at La Tra- viata Mary Harrington, Anne Mae Kohl, Patricia Mitchell, Loretta Mona- han, Mary Moran, and Marion Nowak were among those on the aisle. Party-giver Barbara Flaherty is one up on Elsa Maxwell, for she enter tained her guests, Mary Case, Eileen Gibbons, Mary Elizabeth McCabe, Ann Marie McGrath, Jane McNichols, and Catherine Schwab, by taking them fly ing at Glenview. And UNO, of course, what else has happened these past two weeks.
