Page Four SKYSCRAPER WAA Plans Winter Sports Weekend at Lake Geneva Glittering ice . . . sparkly stars . . . raging bonfires . . . sizzling hot clogs . . . moonlight tracing a golden road across the pond. All this and more will be in store for the members of the Women's Athletic association who will spend a Winter Weekend at the Travers hotel in Lake Geneva, Jan. 29, 30, and 31. The vacationers will leave via bus at 5 p.m., Friday for the re sort, where there will be skiing, skating, and tobogganing. They will return Sunday evening. Phyllis Wockner is in charge of arrangements for the weekend. Miss Audrey Sullivan, chairman of the Sports department, and Miss Rosemary Racine, chairman of the Swimming department, will act as chaperones. Spring Comes To The Qymnasium The faint blush of second youth covers the upper walls of the old, tan-colored gym nasium. Greeting the athletes of 1954 with a snowy ceiling and blossom-pink walls and bal cony, the gymnasium is a brighter, sunnier room since its rejuvenation. Looking as crisp, pink, and new as a garden, it will be even brighter when the wash ing-down of the brick lower walls is completed. Foil of Chivalry Used By Fencers In College Meet The age or at least the weapon of chivalry has returned College fencers will enter the Woman's Prep meet sponsored Jan. 24 at 1 p.m., by the Amateur Fen cers League of America.

Among the beginning fencers entered will be Arlene Rufano, Vir ginia Gray, Barbara Gibson, Carol Sachtleben, Geraldine Owens. Also in the meet are Betty Kel ly, Catherine Packard, Patricia Sullivan, Mary Jo Valentino, Vi vian Schultz, Anne Hackett, Dol ores Ferraro, Marianne Krzysik, and Mary Anne Annetti. Terrapins Entertain Rosary Swim. Club Swimming, luncheon, and vol-' lcyball were on the schedule, when the Women's Athletic association entertained students from Rosary college, Jan. 13. The Varsity team scored a 52-12 victory in volleyball, after which the Terrapins presented a water ballet and engaged in games and races with Rosary watermaids.

Carol Ann Bauer Places In Parkway Horse Show Carole Ann Bauer, freshman member of the Riding club, won a third place ribbon at the Park way Horse show, Dec. 20. SAC Speaks Up . . . About 1954, Freshman Dance, Assemblies We are now well into 1954, but the problems and activities we found in 1953 still confront us. Next week when we begin our mid-year examinations, let's not forget the power of prayer, but let's also remember that we have power to study. * * * Almost all the Little-Sister ques tionnaires are in. We thank the upperclassmen for all the time and effort they put into them, and the Freshmen for being cooperative. If you look on the Freshman Bul letin board in the lounge, you will learn about suggestions made. * * * Congratulations to the Freshmen on the Semester Swing, their first project, capably handled, which provided a gay finale to the social life of the semester. * * * A less pleasant note is in order. Assemblies are provided to stim ulate our cultural not our con versational life. In college, we are expected to be mature and poised, to conduct ourselves with dignity on all oc casions. At the Jan. 7 assembly, we fell short of that standard, Let's not forget about it again. * * * A final word the SAC sugges tion box has been empty for a long time. If 874 people are content and satisfied with things as they are, the world is changing. If they are not entirely satisfied, we hope they will tell us why in the suggestion box. Schumann's Story Told In Traumerei During the Christmas holidays Dolores Dangelmaier, Rosemary Wohlfahrt, Regina Rauchas, and Nijole Gibinskas, members of die Rothensteiner Gesellschaft, at tended a German movie, Trau merei, the story of the life of Rob ert Schumann, at the Davis theatre. Phrenetic Fanatic Favors Phonetic Form French-speaking students study English, and English-speaking stu dents study English. Yes, for at least 12 years, students who have been using the English language all their lives study the use of Eng lish, and no wonder All one has to do is look at the pronouncing dictionary and he will know the reason. It is a wonder that a poet can find words for rhymes True, many are spelled as if they would rhyme, but they are pronounced differently. That is why I am writing this article to start a movement for like- sounding of like-spelled words. To illustrate, roughly The moon is dark, the night is bleak; The waves upon the coral break. You say it doesn't rhyme? Well, with our new method, it would; just change the pronounciation of break to agree with bleak. Isn't that simple? There are innumerable words that can be changed so that they, too, will rhyme; for instance; boot and foot, rough and though, plow and slow, erudite and composite, clown and blown to mention but a few. If the movement catches on, we, ourselves, will be happy to com pose a phonetic dictionary devoted to words of this type. Besides aiding the poet in his hour of dilemma, think how it would help children to learn to spell, and what a boon it would be to the English language. We would be the first to make our language available to the multi tudes. Modernistic, stylized English would be easier for all, and the confusion of through with threw would end with the last extant volume of Webster. Skiing and Skating Steal I The Seasonal Show Scene I This year, more than ever before, winter sports are stealing thd whole out-doors scene. Skiing, for instance, was once as remote from Chicago as Soutl American polo and African big game hunting. Now, talk of funny flights in a chair lift, snow-ploughed romances or three days in a ski suit is common among us. The whole idea, however, is quite sensible. If half the fun summer is swimming, golf, tennis, boating, or what have you, win shouldn't we stand on our snow-colored availabilities and add the sain enthusiastic touch to winter? Remember when, at the age of nine, you couldn't pass a cold Sattm day afteroon without a turn on ice skates? Remember how good the steaming cup of marshmallowcd bcfl chocolate tasted after the crisp, tingling workout? If coffee replaces old fashioned but delightful hot chocolate, bogganing, ice boating, and skiing will bring their own exhilaration* and leave some after room for much loved and sometimes mud needed conversation. Speech Classes Plan Panels To Discuss TV and Family Life Following the Holy Father's ad vice to Catholics to lead in shaping the television industry and to make it a force for Christian edu cation, Speech classes are holding a series of panels followed by open forums to study the problem from the viewpoint of the college stu dent. Also under discussion are juven ile delinquency and the means whereby college students can help check the growing decay of fam ily life. Acting as chairmen of the pan els are Nancy Alias, Grace Luczac, Maryann Uacella, Maryellen Ca sey, Rita Bialecke, Janet Jameson. Among the panelists are Joan Engel, Jane Panka, Sue O'Mara, Sister Alacoque, Marilyn Stang, Carol Benek, Therese Salvato, Pa tricia Shanley, Norma Indovina, Shirley Parrilli, and Elizabeth Vogl. Mathematicians Study Circles and Solids Senior Mathematics majors pre sented projects before sophomores, juniors, and faculty members in the department, on three recent Fridays. Rosemary Anzona offered a study of circles; Dolores Feehan discussed cyclic quadrilaterals, and Shirley Snyder presented a study of geometric solids. All projects were based on ap plications from the fields of geom etry, algebra, and analytics, which include material from calculus and other advanced mathematics cours es. Young Queen Victoria, played by Geraldine O'Keefe, is pictoia in the famous shaving scene, learning from staid Prince Albert, plant by Camillo Volini, the uses of a brush. Melita Lynch alternates infl s role of Victoria.
