This living edition of the women's pages was the second annual press con ference held under the auspices of the Chicago Tribune, which aims to develop a liaison between those who furnish the news of women's endeavors and those who publish it. Miss Ruth De Young, woman's editor, who presided over the conference, ex plained the importance of cooperation be tween the press chairmen and the news paper, and introduced the renowned Trib une writers to the audience.

According to Miss India Moffett, so ciety editor, accuracy, brevity and clear ness are The ABC of publicity.

EVER since President Hutchins of Chicago published his education for the love of it view in magazines and newspapers all over the country, and ever since various and sundry oldsters have pointed scolfingly at us poor students as the seekers after a purely utilitarian education, 1 have been snooping in cor ners and opening doors in a Diogenes search for an example of an education- loving collegian. And we have one, right in our own sophomore class one Mary Zita McCarthy who commutes between Mundelein and Joliet every day in her pursuit of learning A ND NOT only have we this 60-mile * commuter in our midst, but we also have a senior who loves her science so much that she wears it. Perhaps you are one of the unfortunate individuals who has not seen Gertrude Rafferty's lat est addition to her collection of hand- knits a black peasant sweater abound ing in true reproductions of salpaglassus, larkspur, pansies, poppies, daisies, and phlox. She has even gone so far as to emulate one Mr. Burbank, and, displaying a true spirit of scientific experiment, has created a few original floral specimens. Personally, that knowledge for knowl edge's sake glint won't darken our eye lids (or should I say brighten) until aft er Jan. 31 IV flARY CURRY, the sophomore witli ** artistic leanings and Southern long ings, hied herself off to Florida during the Christmas holidays and raised fires of wrath in the hearts of her Chicago friends by sending back post cards of sunny beaches and browned Florida mer maids, and having them arrive on those beautiful Christmassy rainy days we had. However, now all is forgiven since Mary also posted the news that the farther South she went the deeper did the snow grow I We have a private conviction that it was the U. S. weather bureau paying tribute to tlie Chestertonian paradox T7N GARDE If you're in the habit of * * wearing your heart on your sleeve, you'd better spend an evening at home ripping it off and storing it away After the new semester begins, Mundelein's halls are going to be over-run with some twen tieth-century musketeers Or better still, if you want to keep your heart in a promi nent place, join the Fencing class and conduct a D'Artagiian defense of that or gan that must be in perfect shape for Feb. 14. A ND YOU should look admiringly at ** the juniors. Not only are they offer ing you an opportunity to satisfy your who-was-she-with and what-did-she- wear curiosity, but they're background ing all their social frivolity against the former banqueting place of the American Catholic Philosophical association to give an intellectual atmosphere to their Prom. So throw open your closet door, don the gown that's going to make every Mund- eleinite foam with jealousy, tuck your hand in the crook of the arm of your current Robert Taylor substitute, and see the elite of the elite at the Bal Tabarin tonight Loyolans Are Quests At Tea Dance Here I'm in a dancing mood and so were the Loyolans and Mundeleinites who gath ered in the Mundelein gymnasium, on Jan. 13, for their annual Tea Dance. The gymnasium, too, seemed in a festive mood. In one corner Dick Fink and his orchestra pealed forth gay tunes. Huge Loyola and Mundelein banners adorned either sides of the gymnasium. The Student Councils of both schools, in whose hands all responsibility was placed, were distinguished by official badges. terlude. Soloists on the program were Kathryne Witwer, soprano, Lawrence Sa lerno, baritone, and Philip Kaufman, vi olinist.
