Shell Be Home For Christmas Barbara Cwiak, first Medical Technology student to spend her junior year interning in a hospital laboratory, returned to the campus, Dec. 6, to serve on a panel with two hospital staff members. Sister Pancratia and Sister James of the St. Mary of Naza reth hospital staff joined Miss Cwiak in explaining the work of the medical technologist. In cooperation with St. Mary of Nazareth, the College opened this fall a degree program for students interested in medical technology. Under the program, the students spend two years at Mundelein, one year at a hospital laboratory, and return to Mundelein for the sen ior year. The panel was sponsored by the Chemistry club, which sponsored a tour to the Mars candy com pany, Nov. 23. Mexicana Delights Spanish Club Music from Mexico, sunlit Mex ico City, and other colorful south- of-the-border scenes entertained Spanish club members, Dec. 4, at a social meeting. Qod Rest You Merry, Freshmen, Let Nothing You Dismay The time has come, professors say, to speak of many things, of isotopes, of Hardy's wit, and the why of Sat- turn's rings. With these words, the Freshmen receive their first brush with one of the grave realities of college life ... the research paper. Ghosts of high school term papers parade before their eyes. They make mental notes to take on plentiful supplies of midnight oil. The first step is to select a topic, intones the In structor. Translated, the Freshmen know, this means, taking up residence in the nearest library for two or thre days, prowling through files and indexes until their visio- is 40-40. When they have finally decided on their topics, som thing in which each one is truly interested, such as, what inner conflicts prompted Caesar to cross the Rubicon, they begin the process of gathering material. Of course, the books they must use have not been struck by the light of day since 1897, and the printing looks as though the print er practiced on a pin head. But, confidently, they stagger off with 50 pounds of books and 25 pounds of periodicals hoping to glean 5,000 usable words. At this point, nobody knows what will develop. The wish of the staff is: Happy hunting AH I Want For Christmas . .

Ayres, chairman, will introduce the Wilson era. Barbara Summers of the Politi cal Science department will pre sent Wilson as a Citizen; Mar guerite Moliter of the Economics department will describe him as an Economist, and Marie Coyle, representing the Fducation depart ment, will talk of him as an edu cator. Ann Molloy will conduct the final session, at 3 p.m., con centrating on Wilson as a Promoter of Peace. I have always wanted to be a writ er. I have always planned to go to an accredited college, receive a degree with a major in journal ism, and embark on the exciting ca reer of a journalist. When I entered this college of liber al arts, I expected to take courses in vari ous fields, and as sorted required courses. But never, never did I dream that I would have to take scalpel in hand and cut out the intes tines of a poor- low ly creature. I tried to tell them that I was a journal ism major. They wouldn't listen. I tried to tell them again, when, after viewing my handi- work, they said, Dear You are sup- Joyeaux Noel No. 1956 . . . Here's A Christmas Note For Your Locker, Mary Has your laboratory partner gone to class before you could talk to her? Must you arrange a meeting with some- oee La France one you rarely see? Did your locker partner walk blithely away with your history book? She has? You must? She did? There must be some thing you can do about this. There is Glance into any of our three locker rooms. Look at the rows of green-clad cabinets standing at attention. What do you see there? Nothing? Look again. Direct your gaze to the middle, left-hand side. What do you see now? Some thing white? Forsooth Some imp has painted the locks No it's paper. Here's one to No. 999, Ann. Remember the monthly meeting of the boy-watcher's club, in 514 tomorrow. See you there. Two-thirds of the lockers hold such gems of creative writing; notes that serve to whet curiosity, inform, publi cize a student activity, or say hello. We have put such things as the walkie-talkie and sign language in the past. With a quarter sheet of notebook paper and a locker number, we say: No. 1956 Everyone. Have a Happy and Holy Christ mas See you at the Skyscraper Ball. posed to dissect your pig, not slaughter him They insisted that I need this course. All writers, they informed me, .need this course if they expect to have any kind of success. I listened patiently, nodding politely as they explained the advantages of know ing the positions of the glottis and the in ferior vena vaca. Think of the money you'll acquire, dear, when you are able to write of these things intelligently, so other people will understand them, al so. I murmured that I, myself, would never understand them, so how could I expect to make them intelligible to others ? But they wouldn't listen. My family wouldn't listen, either, when I tried to explain why I had received a D on my quarterly re port. Said they, You will not go very far in journalism if you possess no knowledge of the pharynx and small intestines. My career has al ready become shaky. My life dream is at stake. With scissors and forceps in hand, I again proceed to my specimen. Surely, I tell my self as I cut into the nasal passage, some day I will be asked to write a story on the entire breathing system of the fetal pig, or at least a fea ture story in some fairly-famous news paper like Skyscrap er. But until that day comes, I will not understand why they insisted that I take Biology. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Sharply color contrasted are two oil paintings on exhibit in the eighth floor gallery. Joyce Kuhl- mann's abstract is in vivid heavy colors; Lillian Kucera's is light, giving a three-dimensional effect by texturing with oils. Mary Ann King offers a design in textured planes, and Carol Stortz contributes planes with script. Barbara Nedlo and Jean Peterson contribute lettering pat terns. Other oil paintings in the ex hibit are by Yvonne Damien, Vir ginia Muzika, Rita Minichowicz, Alice Conforti, Lucille Cabo, Jean Johnson, and Jean Rieck. Water colors and religious de signs in various media complete the exhibit, which will be on dis play until after Christmas. Making their own silk-screened Christmas cards are Mary Ann Hemrick, Dorothy Capek, Patri cia Wendt, and Marilee Poglitsch. Cast pieces done by the ceram ics class include a set of egg cups by Sister Teresita, a red clay free- forrn planter by Ann Corty, and lamp bases by Shirley Taylor and Jane Cordes. Via Posters Illustrative posters of Canada, Monaco, Lebanon, Martinique, the Belgian Congo, and 12 other coun tries peopled at least in part by the French are on display on the fifth floor this month. Entitled French - Around - The World, the pictorial exhibit is sponsored by the French depart ment. Students from Loyola were guests of the French club at a mo tion picture, Cite Universitaire, Dec. 7. In a sequence of flashbacks, the film showed original sites of the University of Paris in the Middle Ages. M. Andre Siegfried, historian and political economist who has studied in France and England, lectures in the film on The Dig nity of Man.
