B.V.M., I'resident of the College, extended a welcome o all new students and point ed out that Mundelein gives to the modern girl an ideal type of life and training.

Urging each student to spare no ef fort tn make her years at Mundelein rich in the formation of friendships. in the achievement of intellectual ideals, and in the appreciation of truth and beauty, Sister Mary Consuela em phasized especially the responsibility which the educated woman of today- must assume. There is growing need for strong leaders and loyal followers for women who are dissatisfied with the shadow and who arc diligent in their quest for the substance of truth. To meet this need. Sister concluded, we must achieve great things in ourselves, in or der that we may do great things for others.

(Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) Studies Abroad Wins Scholarship For Foreign Study Wanda Pater, who received her Bachelor of Arts degree this year, has been awarded a scholarship for a year of study at the University of Warsaw, and sailed for Europe on Sept. 28, with 16 other American students. The scholarship, awarded by the In ternational Union of Poles through the Polish Council of Chicago, is named in honor of the famous statesman, Josef Pilsudski. Following the year in Warsaw, Miss Pater expects to tour Poland, France, England, Belgium, Italy, and possibly Sweden and Switzerland. An econom ies major, Miss Pater was president of the Polish society and a member of the Philosophy club and of the French club. Next Sunday Will Be Parent-Daughter Day The parents and guardians of all the students will be guests of the Faculty and of the student body at an informal reception at the College on Sunday, Oct. 9, from 3 to 5 p. in. A new tradition, the Parent-Daughter day is an outgrowth of the popular Mother-Daughter receptions which have been giveii by the different classes in years past. Discuss Foucault Pendulum On Radio Program, Oct. 12 The opening broadcast of the year, given through Radio Station WCFL at 1:30 p. m. on Oct. 12, will be a forum on the Foucault pendulum, with Dr. Philip Fox, director of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, as guest speaker and with Rosemary Con ley, Virginia Pelletier, Loretta Klod- zinski, Helen Holman, and Dorothy Sugrue taking part in the discussion. The weekly broadcasts, introduced in 1935, provide a practical opportun ity for student radio writing and radio acting, since all scripts are prepared in the radio script writing class and are enacted by forums of student lead ers and by drama students. The first program of each month, according to Miss Louise Litten of Station WCFL, who directs the broad casts, will be a forum, and successive programs will be original dramatic sketches. The 120-foot Foucault pendulum, which was installed last June and which has evoked nation-wide atten tion, is unique in that it is the longest of its kind in existence and in that it is the only one of its kind to have its movements recorded by an electric spark. Installed in an unoccupied elevator shaft, it swings from the ninth floor to a pit below the bookstore lounge. The pendulum ball, and a brass ring on the table over which it swings, are connected with a high voltage trans former, so that when the ball swings across the table an electric spark jumps from its platinum tip to the brass ring, perforating a waxed disc on the table. Thus as the earth turns on its axis, the table beneath the pendulum turns, and the marks on the coated disc re cord its movement.
