Approximately 30 cou ples have been matched up on the basis of a questionnaire which they all completed. Any questions about the dance should be directed to Phyllis De Rosa or to the sophomore SAB representatives, Donato Mocarski, in charge of publicity and Julie O'Brien, in charge of selling bids. Volunteers Show Films, Pamphlets Two volunteer organizations will be represented on campus this month.

Herard and two lay missionaries, Mary Ann Slat- tery and Dolores Virdone, will be on campus to represent the Exten sion Volunteers, Nov. 21. A FORMER MUNDELEIN stu dent, Kathryn McQueen, is cur rently working for VISTA in Han- ford, Cal., while Tina Stretch, a '66 graduate who majored in Span ish and was a MSC delegate-at- large, is serving in the Virgin Islands. Two other '66 graduates are presently enrolled in the Extension Volunteers. Elizabeth Gordon, president of her senior class, is a teacher in Charleston, Miss, and Lorraine Bonafede works in the Newman Center at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kan. THE REPRESENTATIVES from the two organizations will remain on campus all day. They will dis tribute literature concerning their organizations and show films. Purchase Periodicals With Library Grant S ku udcrapinad Somebody out there believes in our athletic prowess, even if Loy ola doesn't. An issue of Pace, the Magazine for Action People, ar rived at the school addressed to the Captain of Varsity Football, Mundelein University. Have we really progressed that far? Shifty-eyed Simon and disori ented Garfunkel evoked mixed re actions. Some found the concert more rewarding if they kept their eyes closed. Many grappled with an irresistible compulsion to count Simon's guitar strings. More un derwent an identity crisis trying to reconcile Up, Up with People and He Was a Most Peculiar Man. Was it pure happenchance that a Corregio in the Art Institute was observed by a contingent from that jolly crew, Humanities IV, only two days before it mysteriously disappeared? Unfortunately, yes. But members of the group, when pressed, admitted that for them the most interesting speculation was not how Corregio painted the pic ture, but how a burglar would steal it. Is this what they mean by art appreciation? Was the discussion on comps a real meeting of the minds, as one awed observer put it, or a clash of temperaments? In any case, it was a good opportunity to work off nervous energy and wax eloquent on issues like: Are Mundelein students truth-seekers or grade grubbers? And Mr. Kissinger's apologia dispelled the notion (per petuated down through the years by English majors) that mathe maticians are inarticulate. Public-spirited souls in awe at the thriving traffic in cosmetics and other fripperies now going on in the bookstore will be even more shocked to learn that this insti tution has not yet installed Lord of the Rings. Thus unequipped, how can Mundelein launch what it needs to make it a true Radcliffe of the West a campus fad ? Philological Insert: Would you believe, with its variants, is still the number one colloquialism here at Muddyline, despite the fact that it has been recently taken up by the faculty. Psyched up and Psyched out, formerly highly specialized terms used only by cross-country teams, run a close second. Don't scoff at rumors that the Outer Drive is about to be extended past Mundelein, smack across the spacious east wing of our campus. The management of the Edgewater Beach Hotel didn't believe it either. Next time you're in the tearoom (This has to be the euphemism of the year) scrutinize, or in common parlance, check out the curtains. They are mystically symbolic. That's the last word, Tully Mundelein students might not have to travel south to the Chicago Public Library or make the trek north to use other colleges' peri odical rooms as often as they have in past years. The reason the Mundelein College Library received a 5,000 grant this summer and decided to use most of the funds for 35 new subscriptions to maga zines and papers that faculty and library personnel felt the students needed. The library currently subscribes to nearly 600 periodicals. Examples of new magazines now available in the periodical room are: The Harvard Business Review, Soviet Studies, T)ie Congressional Digest, Social Education, Art In ternational and Child Development. Also, lost magazines have now been replaced either through a co operative program of the Chicago area libraries or through the United States Book Exchange.

THE SKYSCRAPER Mundelein College 6363 Sheridan Rd., Chicago, 111., 60626 This is Russ Kennedy of Balboa Island, California, on an in-port field trip as a student aboard Chapman College's floating campus. The note he paused to make as fellow students went ahead to inspect Hatshepsut's Tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, he used to complete an assignment for his Comparative World Cultures professor. Russ transferred the 12 units earned during the study-travel semester at sea to his record at the University of California at Irvine where he continues studies toward a teaching career in life sciences. As you read this, 450 other students have begun the fall semester voyage of discovery with Chapman aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, for which Holland-America Line acts as General Passenger Agents. In February still another 450 will embark from Los Angeles for the spring 1967 semester, this time bound for the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Denmark, Great Britain and New York.
