Catherine Ann Dougherty, prefect of the Sodality and president of the De bate club, spoke of the indirect influ ence of the Council in activities, after which Jane Malkemus '37, editor of the CLEPSYDRA last year and now script writer for WCFL, spoke of the value f student activities both during and after college days. Representing the freshman class, Elea nor Lally answered questions about the perplexities encountered by freshmen in a skyscraper college.

This year, the workshop will pre sent three types of programs alternately during their weekly broadcasts.

Cooperative Shop Asks Cooperation Marjorie McPartland, social chair man of the sophomore class, led the Cotillion last night, setting new styles with black Rebette hose can well be among the press notices of tomorrow's metropolitan papers, for the new mesh hose which is being sold at the Con sumers' Cooperative shop, adjacent to Ihe Hook Store, will do just that. Of course, the open-patterned stock ing can not be worn all the time, so the shop offers, in addition, a complete line of 2, 3. 4, 5, and 7 threads. Urging patronage on the basis of sav ings for its customers, the shop again scores with its plan of sharing-the- profits. Only a dollar share of stock needs lo be purchased to entitle the con sumer to dividends on each pair of stock ings she buys, in addition to the refund of the dollar at the end of the second semester. Sodality Opens Headquarters on Mezzanine Floor Soft lights, easy chairs, convenient pamphlet racks, current Catholic peri- odicals all these combine to produce the cozy atmosphere of the Sodality Lounge, opened this fall on the mezzanine floor of Ihe auditorium.

Sees Rural Life As Catholic Stronghold Addressing Ihe Sociology club on Oct. 20, the Reverend Luigi I.igulti discussed the Catholic rural life movement and the part that the Granger Homestead pro ject is playing in this movement. Quoting statistics which prove that in the next hundred years Cathoh'c urban population will have decreased at a ration of 10 lo 3, and Catholic rural population will have increased at a ratio of 10 to 22, Father Ligutti miantained that the future of civilization and of the Church lies in the rural districts of (he country. As director of the Granger Homestead Project, financed by the New Deal, Father LigUtti is in a position to speak With authority of the effect of owner ship of land in the lives of former wage-slaves. People in the Granger project, he slated, are self-supporting and happy. At the conclusion of his lecture Father Ligutti exhibited some of the cloth loomed on Granger Homestead project looms. Unselfishness Is Charm Principle .Con't from Page 1, Col. 3) gracious and charming woman, but that it is, rather, an integrating course, where in the principles of Christian charity, psychology, philosophy, artistic effect, harmony, and pleasing communication are integrated and made practical in Ihe daily life of the student. Becoming objective in the second lec ture, the course turned to a considera tion of posture, from the standpoint of general health and pleasing appearance and from the point of view of the stylist, who regards perfect posture as the primary essential for style. Lecture three considered personal ap pearance. What clothes to wear for the formal tea? What hairdress for the heart-shaped face? What to select when the budget is small ? Supplementing the regular lectures, Madame Louise, from the De Lee Uni versity School of Beauty Culture, lec tured on modern make-up and hair dress to freshmen on Oct. 18 and to upper- classmen on Oct. 19. Madame Louise was assisted by two beauty operators, who demonstrated ef fective coiffures and beauty methods. See Six European Countries; Motor Through the U* S. By Geraldine Terslel If the Skyscraper were doling out medals to the-girls-who-lraveled farthest-during-vacation, no doubt the Connell sisters, Geraldine and Mary Ca therine, would be (he recipients. With an itinerary including France, Switzerland. Germany, Belgium, Eng land, Ireland, and a tour of our own United States as well, they covered many thousands of miles. Sail on Normandie Sailing on so famous a ship as the NORMANDIE, Mrs. Lawrence Cou ncil and her daughters had as ship mates just to mention a few Mar- lene Dietrich, her husband and daugh ter. Jack Benny (if you were miss ing him on Sunday evenings), Mary Livingstone, Jack Pearl, and several hundred Boy Scouts en route to their Jamboree. It was quite a task to tell us all about the trip, but the competent presi dent of the junior class described the journey as ably as she has directed Class '39 in its two years of history. Paris, with its exquisite cathedrals, its palaces, its Versailles Gardens, however lovely, does not quite equal ihe beauty of Switzerland, Miss Con nell declared, going into raptures over that country especially Interlaken and the surrounding mountains. Proceeding up the Rhine to Cologne, they saw the famous cathedral and then visited Brussels, Belgium, which they describe as another little Paris. See Queen Mary In London, Geraldine remarked, we saw Queen Mary going into Marl borough House. She looks exactly like her pictures. Here we saw West minster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Picadilly Circus. We happened there during a bank holiday, and no stores were open for three days, but we did much sight-seeing. Spending 10 days in Ireland, the Con- nells visited Kilarney, kissed the Blar ney Stone, and saw a horse show in Dublin. From Dublin they sailed for home on the Laconia. Once at home, they decided to con tinue their travels, and loured the eastern stales, returning by motor to Chicago in time for the pre-school meeting of the Student Activities Council.
