THE SKYSCRAPER tudent Activities Catholics Should Speaker Declares Strong support of the NRA by Cath olics is the advice of Dr. Arthur M. Murphy, professor of sociology. In a lecture on Papal Encyclicals and the NRA before the Commerce club on Nov. 17, Dr. Murphy pointed out that the NRA codes coincide in many respects with the principles laid down in the Encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI. He explained the similarity by point ing out that the documents are founded upon the rights of man a living wage, and the protection of private property. Furthermore, he declared that there are, in public office, many Catholics who have recommended to the President and his Brain Trust the matter contained in the Papal documents, and that the President, in compliance with their suggestions, used the documents as references in drawing up the NRA. The Papal and Presidential documents both declare that workers and employers have the right to organize, and that no one may be forced into a union. They agree in that all men have a right to work, that child labor should be abolished, that hours of work should be reduced, and that wages should be in creased to the necessary level. Dr. Murphy, in concluding his talk, answered the objection, Is the govern ment becoming socialistic in taking over so much power? Of this he said that no one can point to a major penalty under the NRA, that the president realizes that mutual cooperation is necessary, and the government is doing its best to aid the people, and some force is necessary. Finds Americans Are Interesting, Cordial By Sabina Slarzynska The petite and charming Polish lady who was honor guest at the Polish club tea on Nov. 6, Mrs. Wanda Szygowska, expressed her view of America and of the American girl to a reporter after her visit to the College. I rate America as one of the most interesting countries I have ever visited, she declared. Her people are hospitable and most helpful. Indeed, I have been made most welcome everywhere I have gone, and it seems that here nothing is too good for a stranger. Mrs. Szygowska converses readily in French, although she has not yet mast ered the English language, and she was, consequently, delighted to find conversa tionalists at the College. Questioned about the differences be tween the American girl and the girl of Poland, Mrs. Szygowska replied, cau tiously and quite sincerely, Fundamen tally, there is no difference, but because of the difference in environment one might at first conceive the difference to be great. The American girl is more ener getic than the Polish girl, and still more ambitious. Her European sister, how ever, may be more thorough. HAMMERS, CHISELS, AND PAINT BRUSHES SUPPLANT TEXTBOOKS (Continued from page 1, col. S) The students are also constructing a series of screens as part of their work in play production. The scenic design classes submitted various pattern sketches and from these a design of children in silhouette was chosen and painted by the art students. I could see that Mr. Johnson was of the opinion that women were hopelessly out of their element as carpenters. Look at that girl over there, he whispered, indicating a kneeling figure, hammer in hand, confronting a neat heap of nails on the floor of the workshop. And in a few moments the instructor was giving helpful hints on the use of a magnetized tap-hammer to Frances Burke. Beside them, Virginia Sweeney, Mary Kathryn Walsh, and Margaret Wenig man finished hammering a panel, decided that they would like to be known to future speech students as the Hanuner- ites, and proceeded to celebrate by a modified form of pre-historic dance. The design class' official ten-o'clock scholar proved to be the effervescent Sallie Agnes Smith, who hustled in and was immediately put to work on the bandsaw. Mr. Johnson's explanation of the mechanism of this machine proved so interesting that he was soon surrounded by the entire class as on-lookers. Only the bell for change of classes could drag your scribe from such an in teresting peep behind the scenes of the first of Mundelein's 1933 productions. We look forward to the premiere in the Mundelein play-house when these erst while wood-workers and carpenters step into their sophisticated roles as part of modern London, amidst their own sets, under the able tutelage of Mr. Johnson. HONOR EX-PRESIDENT AT GLEE CLUB PARTY By Mary O'Brien An informal reception was held by the Glee club last Monday in honor of Betty Smith, its charter president. Unfortun ately, illness prevented Miss Smith from attending, but Arline Kroutil, chairman of the tea, brought her lovely corsage to her home afterwards. In addition to the corsage, Miss Smith will have her choice of a Glee club honor pin or a regular membership pin. A delightful entertainment was ar ranged by Frances Mikkelson, the pro gram chairman, and presented by Kather ine Wolford, Nona Peters, Romona Menczynski, and Mildred Sperry. Afterwards, the members adjourned for tea and then departed, glad that they had taken advantage of this opportunity to voice their gratitude and appreciation to their charter president. Twenty-One Organ Guild Pledges Are Welcomed at Party By Marion Mulligan The Music library was transformed into a modern drawing-room in blue and gold motif for the Organ guild pledge tea on Nov. 9.

After each pledge promised to sup port social and intellectual activities of the guild, she was presented with a rib bon pledge badge in red and gold and signed her name in the guild register. Blue and gold lamps and blue and gold parchment tallies for the bridge players, carried out the color scheme. After a few games of bridge, pledges were served from lace-covered tables set on each side of the room. These were at tractively set with blue and yellow glass ware, blue bowls of golden tea roses and yellow candles in blue candle-sticks, yel low napkins, and plates of cake and candy confections. Music from Mundelein's own broad casting system formed a background in keeping with the tastes of the guild mem bers and the faculty of the Music de partment.
