Winged Horse Tethered To Capitol Auslander The Winged Horse is tethered to the Capitol, declared Joseph Auslander, poet, critic, and lecturer, to a group of inter- ,-iewcrs after his lecture here on Nov. 10. Already I have assembled for the pro posed Poetry Room in the Congressional Library manuscripts of William Rose Benet, some of Robert Frost's, all of Elinor Wylie's, and I am on the track of Francis Thompson's Hound of Heaven. Recently appointed to the new Chair of Poetry in the nation's library at Washington, Mr. Auslander explained in his lecture that the government has at last recognized the importance of poetry and of poets, and has delegated him to create a fund for the acquisition of original manuscripts, to be preserved in a special room in the Congressional Library. Such a fund, Mr. Auslander is con vinced, will go far toward encouraging American poets and enriching American literature. As a part of his plan to make America poetry-conscious and poets America-con scious, Mr. Auslander announced a poet ry program which he will present five days a week through the National Broad casting Company, early next year. Ted Malone, a young American poet, will di rect the program, which will include a discussion of the greatest poets and their works. Winning his audience by his informal charm and his sincere devotion to po etry, Mr. Auslander opened his lec ture with a tribute to Sister Mary Irma, B.V.M., head of the English de partment, whom he described as the most gifted, the most sensitive, the most al together fine student he has ever had at Columbia university. Of the inestimable value of poetry he said, You cannot go into a department store and ask for a pound of faith, or a dozen dreams, or a bundle of hope. Only the poets can give you these things. Poetry defeats monotony, it releases des pair, it puts exclamation points under our heels. It is the use of poetry in daily living that I cherish and want to spread through the length and breadth of this country. Man cannot live by bread alone. Mr. Auslander concluded his lecture with two poems from his newest book, Riders At The Gate, and with a final word to aspiring poets If there arc any amongst you who must write poetry, write it and God be with you, for po etry has at last come of age in Amer ica. Explains Methodology Of Science in Lecture The Fundamental Methodology of Sci ence was the subject of a lecture by Mr. John Beuhler, assistant manager of the Adult Education Program conducted by the 'Board of Education, before members of the physical section of the Science Forum on Nov. 9. Explaining the interrelation of the sci ences and their dependence upon one an other, Mr. Beuhler outlined the four fun damental points covering methodology: to know technique, to have a finished tech nique, to be able to recognize a new prob lem, and to utilize the effects of research. Six Artists Have Works in Exhibit Observe National Present Two'Part Book Week With Drama Over Radio Library Exhibit Art contributions of three seniors and three juniors will comprise a part of the Catholic College Art Associa tion traveling exhibit, which left Mun delein last week for a cross-country tour.

(Continued from Page 1, Col. 1) St. Vincent Millay; and Christopher Hollis' LENIN, the story of a man who is the cause of much controversy and strife.

With the mystery unsolved, the kid naping still a matter for investigation, the reform of the problem child still problematic, and the engaging charm of young Jane creating a generous measure of human interest, the a nouncer calmly declared, at 2:1S p.m. yesterday, that the Mundelein Colle Radio Workshop play would be con tinued next Wednesday at the same hour. The first two-part dramatic sketch presented by the Workshop in its three year history, The Winstcds, written by Virginia Cheatham, has, according lo Miss Louise Litten, director of the broadcasts, all the elements for a suc cessful radio serial. Frances Galgano, Muriel Donnellan, Mary Louise Shannon, and Rita Close star in the serial, which is being pres ented through radio station WCFL. Originally scheduled for 1:30 on Wednesdays, the broadcasts have been moved to 2 p.m., and will continue each week at that hour through WCFL. Home Economics Leader Advises Philosophy Study Helen Judy Bond, Ph.D., president of the American Home Economics as sociation and head of the Department of Household Arts and Sciences at Columbia university, New York, stress ed the need for philosophical and cul tural studies, in a lecture before mem bers of Alpha Omicron on Tuesday. Citing the depression as the under lying cause of the phenomenal progress and growth of interest in home econ omics, Mrs. Bond outlined her observa tions in her two key positions. Cites Opportunities Home economics is exciting, she said, and is becoming more exciting every day. The railroads and airlines arc now employing dietitians; retailers and manufacturers are instituting con sumer education services directed by home economists; public health serv ices employ home economists on their public relations boards. More and more, business is coming to appreciate the trained home econ omist's background in sociology, psy chology, science, and art. The field is continually developing, and the stu dents of today arc the nucleus of the leaders of tomorrow. Recommends Cultural Study More important than the industrial aspects of the field, however, is the cultural background requisite for suc cessful leadership. The unifying effect of philosophy especially is helping us to study the past and to project our vision into the future in order to un derstand better the challenge of today. Impossible as it sounds, you must know your entire field, and, above all, you must know yourself. Mrs. Bond, who took her Bachelor's degree at the University of Iowa and her Master's and Doctor's degrees at Columbia, was a luncheon guest of sen iors in the department of home econ omics, preceding her lecture. Juniors in the department served the luncheon. AM. to P.M. V/E couldn't believe our eyes when we saw a bicycle built for two (tan dem?) on Lake Shore Drive the other day, and then we came on up north to park our Buick in the lake front park ing lot and saw of all things a sta tion wagon A veritable hybrid among highbreds on our lot, it conveys a goodly portion of the southside fresh men across the city to classes each morning. Now if the freshmen would just attach a trailer to their quaint vehicle, they could compete with the Residence Hall, or the Edgewater Beach apartments. AN apple a day won't keep the doctor away from Geraldine McGarry's house her father is a doctor, her moth er is a doctor, one brother is a doctor, another brother is an interne, another brother expects to be a doctor, one sis ter is a doctor, another is a physiother apist, and another is studying to be a physiotherapist. Geraldine is going to be different a little different. She is going to be a laboratory technician and, meanwhile, she contributes to the Trib une's Wake of the News, under the lille GERI. There's something so versatile and vigorous about these freshmen . . . NEWEST athletic club in the College is the Parrafins, headed by Dolores High. Admission for membership pre supposes an inability to swim and a horror of diving. Originally formed as a consolation group for all those who tried out but failed to make the Junior Terrapins, Parrafin has grown to in clude all Inner-Tube swimmers. ETTY McCaughey, brown-eyed jun- Alumnae Elect New Officers (Continued from Page 1, Col. 4) ing the Mass, counseled them to realize their responsibilities. It is the privilege of the Catholic col lege graduate it is her duty to help to dispel the menace of Godlessncss in our nation; if educated Catholics fail in this duty, the coming generation will see the ruin of our country. The answer of Christ Render, there fore, to Caesar the things that are Cae sar's and to God the things that are God's is the answer to the question of loyally facing every German, every Aus trian, every Russian, every Italian today, according to Father Carrabine. He believes, however, that the prac tical significance of these words, .their operation in everyday life, can be achieved only through continued meditation upon the life and the teachings of Christ. Dietitians Have Exhibit At Hospital Convention A five-foot model of the Mundelein skyscraper, illustrating the cultural back ground of a college- trained dietitian, was on display at the Stevens Hotel, Nov. 9 and 10, when the Catholic Hospital As sociation convened there. The perfectly scaled cardboard model had doors, appropriately guarded by min iatures of the angels Jophiel and Uriel, which swung open to disclose an impres sive view of the areas of thought covered by a four-years arts and science course B' They Say taken for someone else, and she has, on occasions, been accused of deafness and dumbness, but never all at once that is, never until this week. One day not long ago, however, a naive but eager freshman rushed up to her and asked: Arc you Helen Keller? Bet ty laments, I don't mind being mixed with Katherine Keller, and I don't mind having Helen Keller's skill at tributed to me still ... Still, she is unhappy about the whole thing. pHE nation's press may say what it * likes we Mundeleinites practically swung the last election, what with 66 registered voters in the student body 52 seniors, 6 juniors, 4 sophomores, and 4 special students. All that remains for us is to form a third party, educate the freshmen to belong to it when they grow up, and campaign for a three-day week and taffy apples after every class. ly/ITH our hair up and our hat on top ** of it, we're waiting with mixed emo tions for the advent of the perennial carmuffs, which promise this year to be bigger, better, and gaudier than ever before. Wisdom is knowing what to do next. Virtue is doing it. Quoted by the Reverend William F. Cunningham, C.S.C., Senior Sunday sermon. * * * * Civilizations are made perfect, not by what is given Caesar, but by what is given God. Jacques Maritain, De Paul university lecture. * * * * According to Plato, the foundations of civilization are the four cardinal virtues, prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. Jacques Maritain. * * * * News is anything that makes a wo man say 'For Goodness' Sake'. Marcia Winn, Tribune Press Congress. * * * * And Jimmy Corcoran insists that the government would do well to buy the Notre Dame football team to protect the country by land and sea this, after Notre Dame beat the Army one week and the Navy the next. Cork Tips, Evening American. * * * * People are tired being told what to do by other people who are not doing it themselves. The Reverend Martin I. Carrabine, S.J., Alumnae Sunday ser mon. * * * * Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight; Was killed by Roaring Bill who thought it right. Quoted by Arnold Limn in lecture here Nov. 1. * * * * Writing is conversation elevated by correctness, condensation, and charm. The Reverend Daniel A. Lord, S.J., Catholic Educational Press Congress. * * * * Every man has a right to life, a right to the means of livelihood; and since all livelihood comes from work ing or property, every man has a right to some property not necessarily to private ownership some right to a part of the wealth of the nation. The Reverend James A. Magner, lecture here. * * * * In Franco's Spain today a good baker is a superior man and a bad lawyer is an inferior one. Aileen O'Brien, lecture here. Seniors to Attend Chicago Field Trips Senior representatives from univer sities and colleges in the Midwest will be guests of the Chicago Home Eco nomics Women in Business at their an nual field trip tomorrow. Present from Mundelein will be Alice Addison, Betty Boehme, Victoria Chiri- gos, Catherine Fahrendorf, Aileen Far rell, Angela Kospetos, and Eugenia Plarpa. Freshman Is Officer Of Holy Hour Quild Mary Lou Bell was elected secretary of the Cisca Holy Hour Guild at its first meeting of the season in October. The purpose of the Guild is to pro mote the Cisca Holy Hour, held on the first Sunday of every month. The Reverend A. H. Trudeau, S.S.S., mod erator of the Guild, spoke on Social Justice at the November Holy Hour. The next Holy Hour will be held at the Notre Dame Qitirch the first Sun day of Advent.
