AND perhaps, with all the talk of peace, and war. and propaganda, and mob psychology, and referendum that characterized the Mundclcin-Loy- ola debate on the Ludlow Resolution, the point that cemented the support of the feminine audience to the affirma tive view was the argument launched by Catherine Ann Dougherty that all the eligible young men would be called to the front.

Oscar Jacobson, instructor in drama at DePaul and member of the Goodman theatre, played Herod in the Christmas Eve play, and, doffing his crown at intervals, became a rug seller and the angered rabble, no less, when the need arose.

Analyzes Japanese Crisis in Lecture (Continued from Page 1, Col. 5) Actually, Father Magncr notes, three distinct territorial units exist in China. North China, with Peking as its center; Central China, with Shanghai as a base; and South China, with Hongkong as the center. Japan, Father Magner declared, plans to carve three countries out of present-day China and to set up inde pendent regions like Manchuria. Japanese fascist government is an ideal machine for the accomplishment of this purpose. Father Magner believes, and he further concludes that, economically, the Chinese people will probably bene fit from the imposition of Japanese in dustrial methods, while the western orld will he obliged to compete with a powerful, empire-building nation once Japan's dominance is established in China.

Hands Up i By Belly Vestal The recent cold wave brought in its wake an amazing assortment of gloves peculiar to the wardrolje of the well- dressed college girl. Brunette Alice Addison appeared in the lounge one recent Monday with a pair of red and blue plaid mitts, fitted snugly at the wrists. Margaret Wieland, while anticipating a trip to the tropical Bahamas, braves local blasts with brown suede gauntlets. lapin-lined from wrist to elbow. Dorothy Sugrue. meanwhile, keeps warm with rainbow-striped mittens, predomi nately red. Shapeless oddities in pale blue, known as fluffy muffs, have taken possession of Katherine Keller's talented fingers, and the same longhaired species in as sorted colors frequently appear with matching earmuffs and parkas. Joan Smith proudly displays a pair of soft angora mittens, while a smart white wool cap-and-glovc set protects Helen Coens as she trudges bravely through snowdrifts. Patricia McEnroe, however. enters the Hall of Fame with a pair of an gora gloves for every day in the week, knit in assorted colors by a benign grandmother, who is also responsible for the white angoras Dorothy Foy wears with formal attire. Yes, fashion-minded collegians are glove conscious, whether they wear riot ous mittens, as do the Sontag twins, emblazoned with Yes on one hand and No on the other, or dress gloves of softest kid. which zip up the back with a zip-pull of tiny bells.
