Page Four SKYSCRAPER Players Basket U. of C. Contest, Plan Play-offs In one of the most hotly contested basketball games of the season, the Mundelein Varsity topped the Univer sity of Chicago squad 24 to 22, Feb. 24. A last-minute basket off the hands of Sophomore Claire Gerbeck netted a victory for the local team. The opening line-up including Mary Breen, Therese Windham, and Claire Gerbeck at the forward positions and Gina Moran, Frances Mclnerny, and Arlene Halko at guard completed the first half well behind the Chicago Mar oons. A spurt of four successive bas kets during a hectic third quarter opened the door for a wild last period. Two substitute forwards, Mary Ann Trauscht and Joanne Newman added their enthusiasm and skill to the last period victory. The Varsity team offered the C/ii- cagoans another opportunity to even the score at the annual U. of C. play- day, March 1. The Mundelein squad will compete with National ' College, March 4, and act as a cheering section for the Senior-Sophomore game March 6 and the inter-class play-offs, March 13. Need An Ice Pack? Riders Greet Free Day In The Saddle The Riding club celebrated Washing ton's birthday with a breakfast ride at 9 a.m., from Parkway Stables. Af ter the hour ride the group met for breakfast at Vine Garden restaurant. Those participating in the ride were Joan Krause, Geraldine Mysliecwicz, Collettc Carey, Mary Lou Rohlfing, Nancie Fiske, Pearl Kovats, Donna Fla- haut, Phyllis Garrity, and Angela Fer- rania. Little Theatre Schedules Pierrot Plot Within a Plot Pierrot His Play, a one-act fantasy by T. Schwartz, will be presented by the Drama department, March 6, at 4 p.m. in the Little Theatre. The story concerns Pierrot, an ac tor who tries his versatility by feign ing dislike for the person he really loves. The trouble and anguish this involves is shown as the plot develops. Under the supervision of Catherine Denny Phelps, the play is directed by Joan Mallon, Junior Drama major. In cluded in the cast are RoseMari Pelle grini, Alyce Ruszkowski, and Marjorie Kares. Drama and Music students present ed a program last month for the West End Catholic Woman's club. Barbara Prohaska, Kay Murphy, Jean Martin, Mary Sramek and Jeannine Campbell, appeared in the second act of the play, The Torchbearers. Ginger Walsh sang, accompanied by Marilyn Egan. Freshmen Mary Ann Lashmet and Ruth McHugh admire unusual ice formation on a bush at the lake-front edge of the campus. For many weeks during the winter ice covered part of the east campus and sea wall. Panel Sees Home, College, Community, As Path To Christ Kathryn Anne McCarty was chair man of the panel discussion on the theme, I Am the Way, in a Moral Guidance group last week. Mary Jane Brady considered the ap proach to Christ through the home, stressing the need for reverence and respect for parents, for prayer in com mon, and for each family member tak ing an interest in each other member. Mary Frances Kelly considered the approach provided by college, noting the necessity for students making ac tive use of all facilities if they are to gain full advantage from the curricular and extra curricular activities of col lege. Loretta Rezutko discussed the ap proach through the parish, with em phasis on the sacramental system, col lege career groups, and the Sodality. Diane Cochran concluded the panel with a consideration of the approach through the community, pointing out opportunity for neighborhood service, for following up charity appeals, and for alertness to needs for service in small areas. Participating in the discussion were Margaret Ackermann, Mary Breen, Co lette Carey, Connie Butler, Angela Che- mazar. Angela de Florio. Nancy Mc Hugh, Betty Rattay. Lois Kolar, and Rita Welsh. National Poll Indicates Local View of Major Student Issues SAC Speaks Up . Meetings of the SAC are changing location to Room 40S. Everyone is cordially invited to attend since there is now room for many more people. A discussion of student councils, un der the direction of Velma Mooney and Yolanda Volini, will be held on Mon day. March 3. in 405. This is a re sult of their week-end at Rosary col lege where representatives from col lege student councils met for a compar ison of views. * * NSA has conventions, NFCCS has congresses, and the Fencing club has meets, to mention but a few instances in which Mundelein representatives are sent to voice our student opinions, to improve our relations with other schools. During the coarse of the year the question is frequently asked, What in done with our SAC dues? These con ventions and meetings are the answer. Seventy per cent of the students' ex penditures on these trips are paid with SAC dues. It is, therefore, obvious that, if dues are not paid, it is impos sible to send student representatives to collegiate gatherings. Since these functions occur through out the year, the payment of dues in June will not aid in February. So now is the time for all good members to come to the aid of the party the par ty being the SAC. Success is a word which describes the Junior Prom, The Torchbearers, presented by the Laetare Players, and the Freshman-Sophomore tea. An Associated Collegiate Press ques tionnaire recently tested student opin ion on varied national and interna tional problems relating to student at titudes. About eight per cent of Mundelein's student body, representing a proportion ate ratio from each of the four classes, answered the questions. To the question In the Korean truce talks between the United Nations and the Communists, which side do you feel has yielded on more points? 79 per cent thought that the U.N. had, while only six per cent felt that the Communists have conceded points. A large majority of the anonymous students claim they normally spend from 10 to 20 hours per week studying; there are a few who estimate a usual 30 or more hours. If Harry Truman and Robert Taft oppose each other in the coming presi dential election, this sample group would prefer Senator Taft three to one. An interesting observation on the lo cal popularity of the two were the 28 per cent who had no opinion. In other presidential attitudes stu dents preferred Kefauver over Taft and favored Warren three to one over Truman. In a list of ten candidates, however, Dwight Eisenhower was fav ored, closely followed by Taft and War ren, Truman, Kefauver, Vinson, Stas- sen, Humphrey, and Ryan in that order. Dramatist Assists Senior Piano Major (Continued from Page 1, Col. 2.) Lambros' presentation of MacDowell's Concert in D minor, larghetto, cal- mato movement, with Betty Wellner playing the orchestral parts at the second piano. The music in the final theme con trasts dramatic agitation and subdued lyricism, rising to a particularly dra matic passage and concluding on an ethereal note. Miss Schmitt's dramatic selections include My Little Boy by Carl Ewald, and The Face Is Familiar, But, by Max Schulman. Questions concerning the honor sys tem advocated by many colleges showed that most of the students queried ap proved the system. Cornerstones (Continued from Page 1, Col. 1.) Alfred Noyes, English poet, novelist, and critic, lectured at Mundelein in 1945 discussing modern taste in lit erature and poetry. In 1946, United Nations, a new his tory course was introduced to promote student knowledge of the United Na tions. Truman's big domestic problem had been the wage-price spiral. Controls were lifted in 1946 after what seemed a rioters' mandate. Subsequently, prices spiralled; farm prices, with the ad ded impetus of government supports, went to cloudy levels. Peace, shaky, as a child learning to walk, had come. Would it, Americans asked, become stronger, or would it wither away? Approaching womanhood, the present seniors, then 16 years old, rejoiced in a peaceful world. For their elders, the question loomed would peace endure? Pencils Poise As Sophomores Look To Comps The Sophomore class will take an nual Sophomore Comprehensive exam inations on March 11 and 12.

With Coiffure a la Poodle, Paris Puts on the Dog Straight from Paris conies the word that the poodle cut and the pony-tail are not the only new hair styles in spired by well-groomed members of the animal kingdom. The following are five of the very latest cuts, designed especially for the career girl. The wire-haired terrier whisk in volves precision on the part of the beautician; the hair must be cut ex actly seven-sixteenths of an inch in length. In most cases the hair is then tightly curled. A curry-comb is usu ally offered with this style. Consisting of only a small tuft of hair perched provocatively over the forehead, the glamorous giraffe cut gives the illusion of a much longer, lovelier neck-line. The sheep dog shag involves long, straight hair, parted down the back and lot on' 1st Tl am f t allowed to fall gracefully over the fact'as This particular arrangement is a mar 1 velous cover-up for freckles, blemishes'61 and seared eye-lashes. Bj One of the most artistic of the nei e styles is the zippy zebra which involve delicate tinting of alternate sections Oj , hair followed by the arrangement these strands in any number of beau j tiful marble-like designs. 48 The careless collie cut takes somiw time to accomplish. The tresses mus . be allowed to grow quite long floa length on either side and somewha , longer in back offering a bridal-trai: jes al in effect. It may be some time before these notable innovations attain popuy i larity in the United States, but mos r, glamour correspondents agree that such, styles, especially the last mentioned f are sweeping the continent.
