March 7, 1962 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three PREPARING TO SHOW THE EFFECTS of various stimuli on the heart beat of frogs for class demonstration are biology majors (1. to r.): Pat Pietraszek, Palmira Petrauskas, Jane Arndt and Sandralee Reinholz. Frogs Aid Student Scientists In Graduate-level Experiment Proving that delicate experi ments can be performed with sim ple tools, Mundelein's general physiology class last week con ducted a test with the aid of six bullfrogs. Under the guidance of Sister Mary Cecilia, B.V.M., the 13 ad vanced biology students used the frogs in an operation usually re served for graduate schools. The purpose of the project was to pin point the site of respiration in the cell and to discover the part of the cell which produces energy from the food obtained. To accomplish this end the frogs had to be killed and their cells broken down by an electric centri fuge which exerted force upon them at speeds up to 6,000 revolutions per minute. The centrifuge pre sented the one problem in the in vestigation. It was discovered that the centrifuge had to be kept at very low temperatures if the en zymes in the cells were not to be destroyed. In typical feminine fashion the girls solved this problem too, by keeping the centrifuge in the re frigerator. After the cells were broken down into their component parts the girls discovered that the metochondria were the site they looked for. And in real scientific fashion the girls supplied the miss ing components of the Krebs' cycle and by the dye's reaction to it, they discovered their conclusions were correct. A grant from the American Physiological Society was respon sible for starting Sister on this work at Emery University some summers ago. Sister also has demonstrated this at Clarke Col lege and at a National Science Teachers' Convention in Chicago last year where she was assisted by Sandralee Reinholz. Local Colleens Report Familiar Irish Dilemma Teachers 'Parlent' At French School A French Institute for seventh to ninth grade teachers, co-spon sored by Mundelein College and Loyola University, will be held for seven weeks, July 2 to Aug. 18. The Institute will provide 40 pub lic and ten private school teachers with intensive training in the new est instructional methods. This will also give the teachers the op portunity to improve their own pro ficiency in speaking. Sister Mary St. Irene, B.V.M., chairman of the modern language department at Mundelein, and visit ing professor on the Loyola gradu ate school faculty, will direct the Institute. In addition, a group of outstand ing scholars have been assembled for the French Institute faculty including: Colette Stourdze, a pro fessor at the University of Paris, Maurice Lecuyer, Ph.D., professor of languages at the University of Chicago and Father Philippe Ju- lien, S.J., a professor of contem porary French literature at Lyons, France. Also on the summer faculty are: Agnes Blanc, Ph.D., professor at Mundelein; Catherine Hughes, state foreign language consultant at Springfield; and Gerard de Jube court, former geologist for the Atomic Energy Commission who is presently teaching French at Mun delein. Madame de Jubecourt is also on the faculty. Mary Hartigan, currently work ing for a master's degree in lin guistics at Pennsylvania State Uni versity and Clothilde Douglas, a French teacher in the Clayton Pub lic School (St. Louis, Mo.), will conduct the demonstration classes. Jean DeVaud, instructor of French at Willowbrook High, and a former professor at the Univer sity of Chicago, will teach linguis tics. What's in a nomenclature? Hen nessey, Tennessey and the MacNa- mara combo find counterparts in the Mundelein student directory. But the good Irish name has its moments of confusion when an other student carries a similar call ing card. In a case of crossed wires, junior Maureen Sullivan, the English ma jor, received her double's long dis tance call from a boy in Georgia. He was quite bewildered when she hadn't the slightest idea who he was laughed the other Maureen Sullivan, junior. Mary Ann Maguire, sophomore, has difficulty maintaining her iden tity even when fainting. Last year when I passed out in one of my classes, Mary Ann re calls, Judy McGuire and Judy Ma guire were asked how they felt Judys Confuse Dates The same Judys double-dated for the Sophomore Cotillion dressed in the same dress and wearing identi cal corsages. Because Judy Mc Guire has also become a blonde, Judy Maguire recently received a post-mixer letter addressed to Judy Maguire in the pink dress. A Spartan with the spoils, jun ior Maureen O'Brien remembers: After the Honors Convocation this year one of the nuns mistook me for the freshman of the same name. No serious consequences though I already had the rib bon. Mary Catherine Murphy, junior, had an excited mother on her hands when her neighborhood paper, The Park Ridge Advocate, announced that she was going to entertain Mundelein freshmen in her home. My mother was a little sur prised when she read that I was giving a tea, Mary chuckled re ferring to the paper's mis-number rather than misnomer. Mixes Up Murphys Her counterpart, senior Mary Jule Murphy never received a note sent to Mary Murphy reading: Meet at E. porch at 2:30 to go to AIET signed SMT. An amused Mary C. responded to the initialed code but discovered that a trip to the American Institute of Elec tronics and Technology was not vi tal to her survival. Despite name's-the-same mix-ups Mundelein colleens are proud of their common names. They find themselves rarely misspelled, easily pronounced and undeniably Irish. Asked if they do have a streak of the green in their veins, the reply: Sure and begorrah What else? WINNERS OF THE LIBRARY BOOK CONTEST (I. to r.) Nancy Nowik, Carolyn Augustin and Carol Gendron are awarded 10 gift certificates by Sister Mary Assisium, B.V.M., as Sister Mary Clara, B.V.M., looks on. The girls were judged on the selections in their personal libraries, the annotations of the books and on replies to questions about how their per sonal libraries began.

Seniors GivePapers Recejv(J Suc ess p an At LU Symposium Participating in an historic first, Christine Doran and Denise Lenzi will present their senior research papers before the First Annual Chicago Area Undergraduate His tory Symposium sponsored by Loy ola University, March 17. With students from seven under graduate colleges and universities Christine and Denise will enlarge on the general theme, Western Civilization, Its Sense of Destiny. Christine's paper is entitled The Pirenne Thesis: Critics and Criti cism while Denise will present The Modification of Karl Marx's Philosophy. The program is designed to demonstrate the quality of under graduate scholarship in the area of original thought and comparative analysis. Focusing junior and senior atten tion on How to Succeed Without Really Trying the president of the Moser Secretarial School will speak to upperclassmen, March 8 at 1:10 in the College Theater.

You'll have to have a vivid one to recreate our recent exclusive tour of the new dormitory. Boards, wires and plas ter are scattered about in what is probably a definite order but what appears as chaos to the casual ob server. But underneath it all you can see what is going to be a build ing of spacious graciousness. . - THERE'S A LILT OF IRISH LAUGHTER in the faces of these Mundelein students with typically old sod last names (1. to r.): Judy Maguire, Mary C. Murphy, Judy McGuire, Maureen O'Brien, Mary Ann Maguire, Maureen O'Brien, Maureen Sullivan and Mary Murphy. Our guide was Sister Mary Ber- nice, B.V.M., Sister Mary Ann Ida's secretary. Sister led us gingerly through an entrance from the li brary basement and up a few planks to the main lobby. Here facing the lake with windows from floor to ceiling will be a formal lounge. West of this room is the area which will be devoted to the snack bar and informal eating and meet ing place. The room is large and again has many windows. Climbing upstairs to the resi dents' rooms on the second, third and fourth floors besides leaving us coated with plaster dust gave an impression of compact, efficient planning. Each room will house two girls with a large double closet, running water, two desks and two beds and bulletin board space. At the East end of each of the three resident floors is a small lounge overlooking the lake. Here two windows seem to bring the wa ter in to surround the viewer. Plans call for the dormitory to be finished in June.
