His pointed re mark above is addressed in Laotian to Ann Nguyen, senior, and Beatrice Hoang '58. Tom Dooley Needn't Hang Head; Tag Day Pledges To Help Medico Dr. Thomas A. Dooley, an associate of Medico, an organization which brings modern medical care to the suffering, needs money and medical aid for the people of South Vietnam. On Dollars for Dooley day, March 20, tags will be sold during a two-hour drive between 11 and 1 p.m. in the booth located in the lounge and by personal solicitation in the tearoom. Although tags are only 25 cents, dollars are less weighty, worth more and quite acceptable for a Dooley tag. Joint sponsors of the tag day are the Sociology, International Relations and Human Relations clubs and the NFCCS. To stimulate Medico-mindedness among students, a display will be pre pared in the Mundelein library. The doctor's two books, Deliver Us from Evil and Edge of Tomorrow, as well as recent articles about Dr. Dooley from Life, Look and cur rent magazines, will be shown. TAPES of Dr. Dooley's talk, given when he visited the campus last spring, will be played in Room 306 at intervals during the week. Times will be posted in the lounge after Easter. Since his visit to Mundelein last spring, Dr. Dooley has been working on the other side of the globe in the jungles of Vietnam. Before his visit to the United States last year, he had spent 18 months in Laos setting up the first of his hospitals. On his return to the U.S. in the spring of 1958, he told Mundelein students of his experiences with Viet namese communists and described his expedition as head of a civilian team which sets up hospitals in Laos. To date Dr. Dooley has recruited 34 phy sicians, 21 dentists and 300 nurses and medical technicians who have re- No Doze Here turned to work in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. DR. DOOLEY is a graduate of Notre Dame and of the St. Louis uni versity school of medicine. He and his co-workers now receive a salary of 100 a month and sign a two-year contract to work in the remote under privileged areas. Student chairmen of the Dollars for Dooley day are officers of the sponsoring clubs. Peggy Grange is in charge of library display and tapes; Sheila Kelly, tags; Joan Ayers and Mary Fulgaro, promotion and publicity. Seniors Share Fun With Chicago Males Just in case there's a weary senior who hasn't heard, Janet Lynch, class social chairman, announces the next informal class party is scheduled for April 10, from 8 to 11:30 p.m., in 405. The seniors believe in sharing good fortune, so invitations have been sent to male members of Chicago-area col lege senior classes, and graduate schools, the Young Republicans, Democrats and Chicagoans, and col lege Newman clubs. Marian Hills is chairman of the publicity; Roselle Primeau, enter tainment and arrangements; Gerri Sofka, refreshments; and Julie Wha len, decorations. Amateur Critic Discovers Magic AtGauguinShow By Janice Corbin When I visited the Art Institute to view the Gauguin exhibit last week my only motive was to fulfill an in structor's assignment. Any observer could see from the expression written across my face that I definitely lacked enthusiasm. With each new painting, however, my interest grew. Gauguin was not only a masterful artist, but he must also have been as sociated with magical skills for a side line. He was able to transform me, in a matter of minutes, from a defi cient student into an art enthusiast and beauty lover. HIS ART, in particular his Tahitian paintings, was rich and sensuous. It appealed to the physical side of na ture. Sadness seemed to be the uni versal mood expressed in the eyes of Gauguin's native people. For example, the painting entitled, Two Tahitian Women, held me spellbound. Through means of their facial expressions and the lines of their bodies, the simplicity and in nocence of their minds is conveyed. Simplicity is also achieved by Gauguin's ability to paint large, uninhibited figures with graceful body structure. Color is Gauguin's most powerful instrument. Nature is expressed in colors that are completely unlike na ture. What seemed most fascinating to me was Gauguin's color experiment with blue, green and purple. ANOTHER TECHNIQUE which I found universal to all of Gauguin's art was his use of the curved line. It can be clearly seen in all of his fig ures and in almost all of his back grounds and landscapes. After spending the whole morning and part of the afternoon at this ex hibit, I came away from the Art In stitute with one lingering question in the back of my mind: Why don't I come here more often? Freedom of Opinion Promoted by Contest Your opinion may be worth a 500 scholarship in the Reed Barton's Silver Opinion competition. Each entrant is asked to name her favorite china pattern, crystal and sterling silver design, posters of which can be had by contacting Roberta Temple, locker 283. Entrants must express their rea sons for having chosen each particular pattern. Entries will be judged on the basis of interesting opinions rather than on literary technique. Collegian Awaits Exams, Devises Cat Naps ... the innocent sleep Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care, The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, Balm of hurt minds, grea'. nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast Thus were the praises of sleep sung by an author of some renown a few years back. Shakespeare could afford to say nice things about sleep. He didn't recognize it as an enemy. He wasn't engaged in battle against this device of Morpheus this device well-cal culated to cause a poor unsuspecting student to flunk out of school. SOON MID-TERM exams will be upon us, a minor form of semester fiinals and a challenge to the most wide-awake 8 o'clock scholar. I exhort all you students to pre pare early for mids. Get your No Doze at the special sale now being conducted in the Phoenix room; stock up with an extra carton of Marlboro (Tatoos printed reasonably in the art department ); buy an extra large giant economy size jar of Maxwell House instant coffee. You are now prepared for sleepless nights of study. It isn't collegiate to sleep at night, of course. But the health books tell us that everyone must have eight hours of sleep out of 24. That poses a problem. How is the average student, while re maining collegiate, going to get her sleep? Cat nap, my children, cat nap. Below are listed three popular cat nap poses: NUMBER ONE is called the Refer ence Book Recline. Students of this particular pose, you must go to the library, check out the S volumes of all the encyclopedias, pile them up in a nice neat stack before you, fold your arms on them Injun style and let nature take its course. Soon your curly head will droop, and you will be fast asleep. This is good until some one wants to look up Spanish snake species in South America and yanks one of the volumes out from under you. NUMBER TWO pose is called the Sominex slump. You have spent the night wide-eyed and stimulated by No Doze but now your body is beat; you require rest. So you run down to the local drugstore and pur chase a packet of Sominex. Take one Then you walk down any hall at Mun delein, pick a wall that fits the con tours of your weary form, lean against it, and ZZZZZZZ. It's nice. NUMBER THREE is nameless and also pretty useless. It can be used mainly by swimmers. Go to the pool, put on a nice comfortable tank suit, dive in, flip over on your back, close your eyes and forget your troubles. There is only one minor flaw in this system; you may be forced to forget your troubles permanently. Basketball Team Chalks Up String Of Wins over Local Competition The basketball varsity scored another four victories and suffered one defeat in the past three weeks. All their games were played away from Mundelein. IN A THREE-GAME stand at the University of Chicago, Mundelein re corded two victories and a defeat in the Chicago Invitational tournament March 7. They defeated Eastern Illinois university 29-25 and George Williams college 36-12. In an overtime game against Val- paraiso university the same day, the varsity was nosed out by two points, 32-30. FRESHMAN Patricia Taepke led the team to their seventh victory of the season at Chanute Air Force base March 8. They defeated the WACs by a score of 37-28 and were high scorers against Barat college March 12. In a game played at Barat, Mun delein scored a 39 to 35 victory. Swim Outside? Now? Bold Terrapins Say It Can Be Done North winds blew but the Terrapins swam in comfort in an outside pool at the Home and Garden show, Navy Pier, last Wednesday night. Home Builders Inc., sponsors of the pro gram, August in March, heated the air and water with an infra-red process. Selected for the demonstration with four other colleges, Mundelein con tributed six acts to the program. Fran Kotre swam a solo to The Doll Dance and joined Valmar Price for a duet to Autumn Leaves. Reminiscent of the theme from Disney's Cinderella, Nanette Wendling, Joan Landis and Carol Chura presented A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Later Carol joined Virginia Stoffey, Eileen O'Brien and Sue Haglund in Summertime. Caravan completed their repertoire. Northwestern university, Wright Junior and North Park colleges also participated in the program. Darwin Talks End With Bible Lecture Father John L. McKenzie, S.J., look ing and sounding at home behind the lectern, concluded the Darwin Cen tennial lecture series before an over flow crowd that jammed Loyola's law school auditorium last Tuesday. HE RECOUNTED, with touches of humor, the history of the verbal war between scientists and theologians, which began with Galileo who an nounced three centuries ago that the earth revolves about the sun. Opposition arose at that time from a Roman commission of Cardinals who said it could not be. They based their argument on the fact that Joshua in the Old Testament once commanded the sun to be still and concluded there fore that it must circle around the earth Arrogant scientists and theolo gians from then on both claimed their science to be the source of absolute truth. Darwin's theory of the origin of the species did not concern theologians until about 1880 or so when they gen erally believed the theory heretical. TODAY THE CHURCH believes that neither science nor theology is complete in itself but that they com plement one another. The late Pope Pius XII in 1950 de clared the general hypothesis of the evolutionary theory to be theologically sound. Things had progressed a long way from the attitude of that com mission of Cardinals. The Bible, Father went on to say, cannot be considered as a sci entific source for knowledge on the origin of man because its writ ers were not scientists. SI udcfctpinad CHICAGO NIGHT LIFE: Ginny Stoffey and Pat Zobol were seen at the John Carroll-Loyola basketball game. But could the report that they were rooting for J.C. possibly be true ? The Phi Beta Pi dinner dance was the place where Barbara Hegan, Barbara Hartke, and Mary Kay Marren were wined and dined. Mary Kay also showed up at a Music Man performance, and Raisin in the Sun was attended by Mary Ann Fogarty and Jeri Boyle. Maricolette Powers heard the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Orchestra Hall while Barb Bukowski listened to the rhythms of Jonah Jones at the London House. Judy Bogan and Peggy Lopez were entertained at the Alpha Delta Gamma cham pagne party. DID YOU KNOW that there is an ROTC uniform in Kay Conlon's locker; Carol Miller (October) had so much trouble getting tickets for Sleeping Beauty, or that Helen Gallis had a liver sausage sandwich every day but Fri day since school started. TRAVELING SHOES: Barb Summers spent a five and a half day holiday recently in Connecticut and New York. While in Manhattan she saw Marriage Go Round. And looking forward to their New York jaunt at Easter are Pat Donegan, Arlene Arnone and Carol Tobey. From the looks of it, Mundelein will soon be setting up temporary headquarters at Fort Lauderdale. Some of the lucky girls spending their spring vacations in Florida are: La Verne Marozas, Barbara Lucchese, Marlene Stevens, Elaine Wojtarowicz, Sandy Geocaris, Diane Elssel, Nancy Butler, Joan Gassissi, Mary Ryan, Margie Corney, Roberta Ma day, Arlyne Cline, Sue Haglund, Mary Ann Shibovich, and Claudia Radziwicki TWOSOMES: As usual, diamonds are flashing as Mary Ann Piper, Pearr Getto and Mary Eileen Fitzsimmons display the rings they received from Jacl Sullivan, John Wayne and Paul Kreitz. Also quite willing to show their gems from Dick Ladner, Gunars Gayars and Ken Schaul are Mona Cahill, Anda Skuja and Donnaruth Yates. THIS'N THAT: Virginia Rakocinski represented Mundelein as candidate for Sweetheart of the TEKE's at the annual Tau Kappa Epsilon St. Patrick's dance at the Morrison. Dorothy Lahman listened to the vocalizing of Ella Fitzgerald at Mr. Kelly's. Lynda Rouseau and Sam Dennis were seen at the Kappa Alpha Psi Neophyte party. Then there was the senior who completely convulsed an entire group by announcing she had to go to the library, then in nocently asked, Where is it? (?????) STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING: It took 15 hours for the delegation attending the Sodality convention at Xavier university in Cincinnati to reach that fair city, and another hour and a half for them to find the equally fair university. Pointing their noses toward Cincinnati were Mary Anne King, Barb Bukowski, Sandy Marek, Claire Walsh, Joanne Walsh, Geraldine Sofka, Ann Moran, Barbara Pierce, Mary Carroll and Barbara Vitullo. COMING EVENTS: This is the end of the column because it's the end of the news. But don't forget Plan now to attend the Junior Prom, April 11, and the Sophomore Tea Dance, April 19, and maybe you too will have some news for the next Skyscrapings n j
