THE SKYSCRAPER October 11, 1934 W. A. A. Requires 50 Honor Points For Membership The Women's Athletic Association, under the direction of Rita Casey, acting president, has announced that all fresh men who have secured fifty athletic points by February will be eligible for membership in the W.A.A. at that time. Plans are under way for the various sports, and Harriet McDermott has been elected soccer manager for the coming season. Requirements for admission to Junior and Senior Terrapins are posted on the bulletin board in the locker rooms, and try uts will be held on Oct. 15, according to an announcement by Miss Myrtle Magnuson, instructor in swimming. The club officers have ruled that Junior Terrapins of last year wdio did not advance to the Senior ranks will be dropped if they do not pass the Senior tests within the month, since the Junior Terrapins exist solely for the purpose of training members to become Seniors. A striking mahogany and silver placque bearing the names of last year's swim ming champions has been erected in the swimming pool room, and already as piring swimmers are going in training for this year's carnival. Gertrude Rafferty is reported to have written the script or should one call it a scenario? for the pageant next spring, and already plans are underway for the annual demonstration. Shall Freshmen Join Extra'Curriculars? Outlines New Plan For Catholic Action (Continued from page 1, col. 3) The Academy plan has been used suc cessfully at Loyola university. In the past years at Mundelin infiltration has been used whereby all Catholic Ac tion was taken care of by the various clubs in the College. Because of .numerous other club activities and irregular sched ules this plan was not satisfactory. The Academy plan is definitely or ganized. Every student will have an op portunity to participate in the work be cause during that one period a month there will be nothing to interfere with her attendance. Should freshmen participate in extra curricular activities? According to the audience decision in the debate of Oct. 3, they should not and the audience was predominantly freshman. Mary Agnes Tynan, president of the Debate club, welcomed the fifty old and new members who assembled for the first debate and introduced the speakers on the subject, Resolved: That extra-curri cular activities should be limited to upper classmen. Ruth Tangney and Dorothy Sigman upheld the affirmative, and Mary Cather ine Rose and Jane Spalding the nega tive. William H. Conley, A.M., coach of debate, addressed the assembly after the decision was given and outlined the ob jectives of the club and the benefits to be derived from participation in its activi ties. Jane Spalding, manager, has posted the schedule of debates for the coming weeks, and the entire student body is invited to attend any or all of the encounters which will be held each Wednesday at 3:45 p. m. in the lecture room on the sixth floor. NEW COLLEGE LIBRARY 70,000 Students March in Parade The blare of horns, the sound of drums, brilliant colors, 70,000 marching students, and the strains of the song I Love a Parade began to fill the air. Enthusiasm ran beyond ordinary bounds, and at the same time what might be call ed perfect order reigned in the gigantic parade staged on Sept. 28 in protest against objectionable films. For three days prececding the parade, the students of Mundelein were drilled in military fashion by sergeants of the Na tional Guardsmen. They marched in platoons, each one possessing a leader and a right and left guide. The entire Mundelein section of the parade was led by Mary Ann Walsh, president of the Student Activities Council, who walked at the head of the senior platoon, behind the Lane Technical band and the soldiers.

Among the student speakers, Mary- Agnes Tynan was'-prominijnt for her de fense of Catholic youth. Katherine Brennan and Marie Cuny also held a notable place in the discussions. The Sodalight, the official convention paper, was edited by Virginia Woods, prefect of the College Sodality, who was assisted by Virginia Meagher and Mary Catherine Rose. PHILOMENA RESIDENCE HALL Non-Resident Faculty Has Ten New Members (Continued from page 1, col. 2) is teaching history of the American stage and technique of the drama. Senorita Conchita Cruz of Puerto Rico is a new member of the romance language depart ment and Mile Lucie Desimeur, from the Sorbonne, Paris, is also in that de partment. Eva Phillips Donohue, sister of the late Professor Charles Phillips of the University of Notre Dame, is social directress of the resident students. Miss Catherine Schirz, who has studied at the University of Chicago and at the Catholic University of America, is con ducting courses in physical education. Miss Janine Nowokowska is giving the new course in Polish literature which was introduced this year. Mrs. J. Manly Phelps is a new instructor in the drama department. E. P. Lewis, M.S., formerly of Purdue university and of the University of Illinois, is teaching horticulture. The Reverend Joseph McLaughlin, S. J., who was a member of the faculty three years ago, has returned as profes sor of philosophy. The Reverend James J. Mertz, S.J., is again teaching life problems; the Reverend Arthur J. Kelly, S.J., is teaching ethics, and the Reverend Eneas B. Goodwin, J.D. and Fellow of John Hopkins university, is conducting classes in political science. William H. Conley, A.M., has returned as coach of debate, and George M. Schmeing, M.S., is continuing his courses in chemistry. Miriam L. Rooney, Ph.D., is again teaching sociology; Miss Myrtle Magnuson is instructor in swimming, and Professor Walter Flandorf is director of the Glee Club, and H. J. Beringer is con ductor of the Orchestra. SKYSCRAPINGS Wanted A Song Members of the College Orchestra have announced a contest open to any student interested in writing words for an Orchestra song. The melody selected is the middle movement of Pomp and Circumstance, and the musicians require stirring words, in keeping with the air. The student body as a whole owes a vote of thanks to the Orchestra for the use of their smart crimson and gold capes in the Legion of Decency parade. Greetings and school-day saluations Encounters with old friends and new students lead us to believe that the sum mer vacation was a glorious one for many of us. Among the most interesting vacations must have been that of Cather ine O'Connor who visited relatives in Ireland and toured Europe. Catherine Mulvihill was seeing America first, how ever, in her visits to New York City and the Falls. Sheila Sullivan, Mae Sexton, and Jean McKeever made up the Mundelein colony at Crystal Lake, while Bernice Walters, Ella Jamieson, Mary Louise Metcalf, Caroline Palma, and Mary McCabe '34 represented the College at a Century of Progress. Scholastic social life for some of us began, it seems, at Loyola's Freshman Jamboree, on Sept. 28. Among those present we saw Mary Joyce Vail, Marion Murphy, Catherine Ott, Mary O'Brien, Mary Irving, Jane Molloy, Maryhelen Flanagan, Jean McKeever, Betty Neil, Marjorie Carroll, Caroline Holland, and Helen Marie Loehr. Vacation school occupied some of our erstwhile collegians several of whom taught at Holy Name Cathedral, Anna and Mary McCracken, Genevieve and Marguerite Collins, Dorothy Boynton and Mary Catherine Rose, were on the staff at the Cathedral center. Mary Catherine tells us that she was obliged to organize her class of forty third and fourth graders into baseball teams before she could interest them in religion; then, by counting errors against unprepared students and triples and home runs for perfect recitations, interest in the spirit ual overcame the lure of the material. Two weddings are reported among students of last year Rowena Houlihan became the bride of H. Blair Johnston on Sept. 26, and Rose Carroll McCormick was married on Sept. 24. Mazy Schultz cx-'35 became the bride of Mr. Robert Harroun Hommel on Sept. 10, according to an announcement received from Mr. and Mrs. George Schultz last month. Mr. and Mrs. Hom- mell will make their home in Toronto, Canada.
