PaYrTwcT- SKYSCRAPER Raging St. Jude . . . Troubled World Needs Holy Troubte'Shooter .Prayer offers a cure that no profes sion, trade, or skill can provide. When a patient suffers a stroke, the family doctor may call in a heart specialist; when nations feud, the UN dispatches a group of experts to in vestigate; and when the basement floods, the housewife calls a plumber. But, despite modern specialization, no jack-of-all-hopelessness has been discovered in this world. God, however, never fails to sur pass man's capabilities. The college student who appeals to St. Anthony when she loses her class ring or a fraternity pin, or to St. Peter when her impulsiveness precipitates a di lemma, may find saintly aid for her hopeless situations, also. St. Jude is the jack-of-all-prob- lems. Saving the day after the sup pliant has made a bad situation worse, he specializes in hopeless cases. Often forgot, he is soon remembered when the world wobbles on the last sliver before collapse. What better time than now is there for us to beseech St. Jude's help The twentieth French government in half as many years has fallen; Bulganin's replacement of Malenkov indicates a colder war; and anti-communists have been thrust into turmoil by the revela tions of Matusow. The outlook seems hopeless, but God is merciful. Perhaps an appeal to heaven's own expert will unearth a solution beyond the misty veil of human folly. Lent, 40 days devoted to extra prayer and penance, begins Wednes day. A plea a day to St. Jude may keep disaster away. Not a Care In the World Gentlemen Prefer . . . Newsweek, Time Take Faculty View Of Womanhood After the words beautiful and blonde, the average American mental ly completes the cliche by adding the slang word dumb. Or rather, did complete it that way until two national news magazines, se lecting two sunny-tressed career women as cover subjects, emphasized the success that women can achieve without losing their femininity. The terms politics and Hollywood ring ominous bells in many ears. Mrs. Clare Booth Luce, however, and Miss Grace Kelly, cover subjects for Newsweek and Time, demonstrate that refinement can act as a catalyst in reconciling feminine beauty with talent and trigger-sharp brains. Mrs. Luce and Miss Kelly provide a refreshing variation on a sometimes sordid theme, bringing charm and re spectability to their work. All too often, young women enter ing the career world allow the prop aganda of competitive fellow workers to influence their principles. Believ ing that it is impossible to succeed without lowering their standards of ethics and taste, they shush their con sciences and wink at vulgarity and corruption. Breakfast Blues To Eat or Not To Eat, Duo Discuss Grave Question The sun filters through the Vene tian blinds; the clock radio buzzes as a prelude to song, and the college girl remembers her Psychology quiz at 10, after Fencing at 9. Breakfast, she thinks, must take time. Nothing like a cup of hot chocolate for nerves that are doing a nianibo beat. Nothing else will see me through after study till midnight. Thoughts of fresh orange juice, hot buttered toast, and pork sausages flit through her mind as she slips into snug loaf ers, runs a swift comb through her short hair, and transfers her jewelled piu from yesterday's sweater to to day's jacket. If she dashed for the 8 o'clock bus she could have a quick look in the li brary . . . but the words of her Nutri tion text loom up . . . diet at noon, but never in the morning. The tantalizing aroma of cof fee... coffee from Java, chocolate from Nestles . . .strawberry jam . . . one minute, two minutes. Oh well, she won't be nodding at 10 a.m., fortified with food. And a good grade this week con tributes to a better grade at the mid- semester, liemeniber Father's face when he saw the last report card? Well . . . this one will be different. A second slice of toast now no candy bar at 10 a quick check of her purse, the books. Dear God, get me through the morning . . . and she is off for her daily race with the clock, the commuters, and the college re quirements. It's a welcome and refreshing sur prise to find a world-wide apprecia tion of the qualities of true woman hood. The Italian people, the Amer ican movie-goers, and the sophisti cated publishers of Newsweek and Time have, by their recognition of Mrs. Luce and Miss Kelly, shown that gentlemen really do prefer ladies. It's 20 below zero, the alarm rings, and, mobilized by sheer will power, a college girl begins another day. She breaks a fingernail; her hair curls on the left side of her head and is straight on the right; no skirt matches her only fresh blouse; her hand slips as she applies lipstick, and her smile now extends almost to her left ear. On top of all this, she faces the gruesome problem what to eat Making decisions, big ones, isn't difficult, but such petty things as choosing among sand paper bread, wrinkled bacon, or wheaties can throw her. Yet there they are, daring her to make an instantaneous decision. No wonder statistics show that many people avoid breakfast entire ly it involves decisions, decisions, and such limited choice There are several remedies, such as alternating the menu but how many varieties can you get in a group of three? Another is suggested by a commercial soup for breakfast. That won't work. Soup is one of the few choices for lunch, and serv ing it for breakfast creates another problem for noon. Possibly the time schedules could be revised, so that people would awak en just before dinner. Even here there is a flaw. No college offers courses between 10 p.m., and 8 a.m. So that idea ends. Eecipes from cookbooks and TV are out, too. Who can afford a half hour to prepare breakfast before run ning to catch a bus or a train? Here is an opportunity for an ingenious individual to make an important contribution to do mestic life, not to mention a large fortune. The world needs a new, delicious, do-it-yourself breakfast which will take only minutes to prepare. Any suggestions? Week Moments . . Feb. 22 Washington's Birthday, no classes. Feb. 23 Ash Wednesday. Feb. 24 1 p.m., Freshman Concert. Reading, Writing, 'Rithmetic . .. Catholic Press Asks Aid, Qives Big Dividend The slogan of Catholic Press Month this month of February is Only the Catholic press gives you the Cath olic point of view. Just what does this mean to us as students? Practically speaking, there are three ways in which we can sup port the Catholic press. First, financially, second, by writing for it, and third, by reading it. The first means, financial support, we now leave largely to our parents. To those few who possess a gram of literary ability, the Catholic press outstretches its hand and beckons. Most of us will never write mow than an occasional opinion or letter to the editor, but even this is impor tant. The power of encouragement is often underestimated. Actually, reading is the most val uable course of action a student can take. Continuous exposure to correct principles is bound to result in a cer tain amount of rubbing off. These principles applied to everyday life are the beginning of a course in Cath olic Action. The world news covered is more than factual. Interpretative articles unearth the cause and the effect behind stories. '' Only the Catholic press gives you the Catholic view. Another job of the press is to point out problems which we, as Catholics, must face and to warn us of dangen which may lie ahead. It gives a moral appraisal of movies, books, and thel like. It puts the poison label on tie- bottle. Perhaps there is still another war in which we can support our pres We can pray for its success. Andv might add a little thanks that we liti in a country which allows the Ckura to speak for all to hear.
