SKYSCRAPER Pa e Seven Install Micro Projector In Zoology Laboratories The science department has recently installed a micro-projector, used by zool ogy majors in preparing sets of histology slides. Students of embryology, histology, general botany, and zoology are also aided by the micro-projector in perfecting their technique in slide making. Seniors majoring in science recently presented a series of reports before mem bers of the Science Forum on some phase of their major subject. Mary Corby, zoology major, in her report on May 4, stressed the necessity for patience, care, and skill in the prep- aiation of material eventually used for microscopic study. At an earlier meeting of the biological division of the Science Forum, Virginia Newell, also a zoology major, discussed the subject of Bacteriophage, a mysteri ous phenomenon which is puzzling bac- lerilogists, some of whom believe it to be a protein molecule and others of whom insist it is an ultra microscopic organism, living parasitically within the cells of ordinary visible bacteria and apparently one of the causes for their death and dissolution. After contacting technicians in the various universities and hospital labora tories in the city, Colette Corbert, chem istry major, presented the results before the members of the physical division of the Forum. Her special aim was to show Ihe place of chemistry in the work of a technician. Kathryn DeLage. a chemistry major who plans to pursue further work in cos metic chemistry, presented a survey of the development of cosmetics before the Sci ence Forum. A prospective chemistry teacher, Mar garet Mary Murray, presented a paper on Food Poisoning before the physical section of the Forum. Miss Murray point ed out the recent notable cases of food poisoning which have been called to tIn attention of the public and the cause for such poisoning. At a meeting of the mathematical divi sion of Ihe Science Forum, Anna Mae O'Carroll and Mary Casali, mathematics majors, gave a joint talk on The Dark Ages of Mathematics. Home Economists Exhibit Projects In Buying Research Putting their theoretical knowledge to practical use, the home economics stu dents climaxed their courses in clothing with projects on consumer research this quarter. Accredited with eing one of the best projects ever done at Mundelein. Mar guerite McNulty's and iVrginia Mc- (iurk's joint exhibit points out the rela tive degrees of purity and efficiency of the leading brands of cosmetics, the poisonous materials some of them con tain and the harm they may cause. A third chart depicts the percentages of popularity of cosmetic brands among the Students, the result of a college-wide questionnaire. Most practical from the college girl's viewpoint is Angela Kospetos' project on the wearing quality of hosiery brands. Mildred Mahoney has devised a dramatic presentation of microscopic, burning, and chemical tests for fiber identification. Margaret Weiland's is most practical from a designer's viewpoint the draft ing and application of an original pattern and Miss Weiland's architecture project is every girl's dream a fairy-like bed room complete with taffeta covered bed, satin dra gt;es and dressing table, and white fur rug all in one cubic foot of space. Elaine Daly has charted the most pop ular perfumes and analyzed them for their basic odors and general types. Samples of fibrous glass in various stages of man ufacture dramatize Juanita Mayer's proj ect on the newest use of glass. Do Price Tags Count? is the perti nent question raised by Ruby Zenn in her exhibit on trade marks. Marion Bollman has dressed four models in different in come levels. All the projects arc on display in the clothing laboratory. Verse Speaking Choir Appears On Stage, Radio The Verse Speaking Choir, which has been under contract with the National Broadcasting company for the past two years, will appear on an NBC broadcast on Saturday, June 4, at 5 p.m., and will also read and inter pret Lepailto before delegates to the national convention of Phi Mu Gamma, National Society of Allied Arts, at the Congress Hotel on June 5.

Miss Anne Larkin directed the group. The program was given in observance of National Poetry week, and the Choir represented the Charles L. O'Donnell unit of the Catholic Poetry Society, organized at the College in 1933.

The first bit of news of the college week is dancing as a headline attraction for Jeanne Theis and Ruth Mae Amann, at the La Salle Hotel . . . Music by Frankie Masters and a typical College Inn floor show on ice were an irre sistible combination for Betty Brady, Josephine and Ursula Driscoll, and Louise French . . . To mention picnics is to muster up some of the sandiest but happiest memories we have. And the Cisca picnic will prove no exception to Clare Anderson, Dorothy Homan, Virginia Brady, Marie Keobige, and Mary Margaret Mitchell . . . The Mahoney sisters, Eileen and Mildred, placed a positive approval oil the Northwestern dance at the Skokie Country club in Glcncoe . . . See Chicago First and the Kala mazoo out-of-towners were the dual motivation lor Joan Kaspari, Eileen Flannery, and Roberta Scheid to show what they considered the most inter esting if not the most traditional places of the city . . . Mary Ellen Groark is most generous in wishing I could have seen Front Page, given by the Chicago Mummers, so I could have laughed, too . . . One of our senior brides-to-be, Genevieve Kruzel, was be- seiged with gifts at a shower which Wanda Pater and Wanda Jaworski at tended . . . Aldine McGarry, the decid edly uuathletic and timid sailor of our Singing Marines, played another role al Mt. Saint Mary's recently, at a field day as an assistant to Mildred Parker, who is, incidentally, head of the physical education department at tin- school . . . Loretta Jeske never lets distance stand in the way of pleas ure, and her visit to Champaign, in cluding a Phi Delta Theta house dance, proves that she practices what she pleaches . . . Armour steps into the column again. The topic: informal dance at the Olympia Field's Country club. The participants: Catherine Wil kins, Veronica Gill, Dorothy Nugent, and Jane Rohol . . . And the Edge- water once again with Geraldine Fer stel, Marilyn Jaycox, Frances Geary, and Kathleen Johnston enjoying danc ing and dining in the Marine Room , . . Marjorie Whisler week-ended in Rock Island with Jean Flanigan as house guest . . . and Lorraine Fratini is ail-aboard for a summer in Europe . . . See you all in September ....
