Travel, Concerts, Qood Books Answer Vacation Problems By Kathryn Byrne See America First, always one of our favorite mottos. is especially perti nent this year when war scares abroad make the subject of European vacations taboo with solicitous parents. Our own country, however, is supplying extra ordinary inducements to travel, with giant expositions on both coasts. A veritable Treasure Island awaits visitors to the Golden Gateway Exposi tion in San Francisco, while at New York's World ol Tomorrow 60 nations are represented, giving a cross section of their geography, customs, and pro ducts. Ravinia Attracts Here at home. Ravinia Park, summer music sanctuary of the north shore. opens on June 29, presenting the Chi cago Symphony Orchestra on Thurs day. Friday. Saturday, and Sunday af ternoons. The (irant Park concerts, the Trib- i-.nk Music Festival, and the endless at tractions of Lake Michigan profer ir resistible vacation lures. When the temperature reaches 90 in the shade, we admit that no one feels much like reading anything heavier than a Maudie story.

Senior Zoologist Presents Lecture Shakespeare Qives Menu Inspiration To Meal Planners Shakespeare had a word for it In fact, the meal planning class of the home economics department discovered lines from the Bard to describe each course of the formal dinner given for lay Faculty members in the model apartment on May 17. I hold the olive in my hand, an nounced the hors d'oeuvres. Fillet mig- non and mushrooms were aptly de scribed by The sauce to meat is cere mony; meeting were bare without it. Although the parsley potatoes were served prosaically on plates, Shake speare said Let the sky rain potatoes I Anthony's salad days when be was young in judgment could mean only salad. Farewell heat and welcome frost escribed a paradoxical ice-cream pie. and the dinner concluded with Corio- lanus' words. We all have great cause to give thanks. Guests were Miss Anne Larkin, Miss Dorothy White. Miss Eileen Scanlon, Dr. Hugo Urocker, Dr. Dwigbl L. Hop kins, Dr. George M. Schmeing, Dr. Sam uel M. Steward, and Mr. Waller Flan dorf. Hostesses Marion liollman. Juanita Mayer, Josephine Driscoll, and Betty O'Connor greeted and served the guests, while Jane Ross, Ruby Zeiin, Mildred Mahoney, and Virginia McGurk assisted them in preparing the meal. These student groups alternated coop eratively for the formal dinner on May 10. The guests on that occasion, Dr. Miriam L. Rooney. Miss Loretta Jans, Miss Gloria Barry, Miss Philla Slattery, Dr. Joseph T. Casey, and Dr. L. Thomas Flatley, were served a roast turkey din ner with old-aiid-ncw-fashioned trim mings. Place cards told not only the menu but also the nutrition value of each dish. Shoots Course in 46; Wins Qolf Tourney Shooting close to par on the Evanston Community golf course. Helen Cabill won the college golf tournament with a low score of 46, on May 18. in the larg est match ever sponsored at Mundelein. Twenty-two golfers competed for the gold golf ball awarded to Miss Cabill at the W.A.A. banquet. Betly Jane Zim- mer's SI, Catherine Faherndorf's S3, and Peggy Schweisthal's 54 were also low in the scoring. Mary Caroline Bemis and Dorothy Crowley defeated Mary Allegretti and Lillian Bojar for the badminton cham pionship, in a close match on May 17. Winners of the first round in the freshman tennis tourney are Dorothy Hein, Irene Weber. Doris Ruddy. Mer cedes Shields, and Jill Caldwell, Others in the contest are Margery Linnehan, Evelyn Schaeffer, Patricia Ellis, Ruth O'Hearu. Helen Sheehan, Marion McGuire, Peggy Tobin, Alice Rose Hartnett, and Helen Cabill. The effects of Vitamin E deficiency in chickens, a study Iwised on six months experimental work, is the subject of a thesis by Marian Gilbert, zoology ma jor, the results of which were present ed at a Science Forum meeting on May 24. Corroborating the results of Dr. A. I'.. Adamstone, of the University of Il linois, Ihe outstanding authority on Vita- mir E deficiency. Miss Gilbert has dis covered that besides causing degenera tion in the organs of the body, Vitamin E deficiency also has a definite effect on Ihe nervous system. This effect, as evidenced i tiu- chuk- Discusses Science ens, may possibly, Miss Gilbert believes, be linked with the reactions of the niivous system in the human being as a result of Vitamin E deficiency. Using over 30 chickens as subjects lor her experimentation, Miss Gilbert fed a number of them a prepared diet deficient in Vitamin E and kepi the re maining chickens on an ordinary diet. Comparisons were made microscopic ally and macroscopically at intervals to determine the effects of the diet. Dis section of controlled and experimental chickens showed differences in the heart, liver, spleen, brain, and reproductive or gans. Although at present histological ob servations are not complete, a series of tissues of both types of chickens have been prepared on slides for comparative analysis. These slides will remain in the science department for future ref erence and study by students. Student Mannequins Model at Vogue Hour The home economics department intro duced Pygmalion and Wendy Ililler in costume, at Vogue Hour, on May 16. The script, written and read by Joan Kaspari. took its inspiration from Leslie Howard's production of Shaw's play, and Outlined the improvement and contrast which different types of garments can bring to the different personality types. Roberta Scheid and Eugenia Plarpa demonstrated the almost magic qualities of various accessories used to create the illusion of height or of dimiiuitivencss, whichever may be desired. Members of the garment construction class, under the direction of Miss Loretta Jans '35, then modeled clothes which they bad designed and executed themselves. Models were Helen Cabill. Genie Harper. Jeanne Kane. Dorothy Hein. Irene Weber. Peggy Ahem, Evelyn Schaeffer. Eslelle Lecture. Betly O'Con nor. Carnielina Catugno. Frances Langer, Regina Brennau, and Jane Ross. And Religion at Forum Ceremony The correlation of religion and sci ence was the subject of a sermon by the Reverend Francis Wenninger, C.S.C., dean of the College of Science of the University of Notre Dame, at the annual Science Eoruin Mass, on May 14. The points of contact between science and religion. Father Wenninger pointed out. are as many as there are distinct branches of science. Philosophy as a science considers the essence of God. The science of history studies the unity of the human race, the history of Christ and I lis Church. The science of ethics seeks to establish the origin of right and of duty. Father Wenninger explained all the past conflicts between science and re ligion as the results of personal differ ences of opinion. A critical examina tion and a just evaluation, however, of the several theories of empirical science, result always on the side of religion. Although the methods of religion dif fer from those of science, he declared, they are not less scientific. The physi cist, the chemist, or the biologist uses grains, meters, or seconds as standards; the theologian uses revelation, the test of harmony with the Divine making for order, or of disharmony resulting in spir itual chaos. The tests have equal val idity, each in its own realm. The Bible is not a lexl-book of sci ence. Father said in conclusion. But there is room in Scripture for all future science. Physics Students Test Sound Waves With Ripple Tank By Frances Geary If your church or favorite theatre presents an acoustics problem, the phys ics department will gladly come to your aid. The fact that certain areas of a large room have dead spots to which no sound is carried adds zest to the interest of the students in the acoustics class who can analyze the difficulty by means of ripple tanks. By filling the water-proof ripple tanks, which are replicas of the buildings un der consideration, with water and selling up in them a point-source of disturbance by means of an electrically maintained tuning fork, the physicists are able to observe the ripples radiating from the source and i study their course through the building replica. i Observing obstructions to the course of the ripples, they discover objections contours in the building, and, having lo calized ripple-transmission difficulties, ascertain ways to remedy corresponding sound transmission problems and to se cure uniform sound-distribution through out the room. Loretta Klodzinski, Rosemary Conley, and Dorothy Sugrue have constructed a ripple tank reproducing a section of a northwest side church and are studying the causes for defective acoustics there. Keeping their interests closer to home, Helen Holman, Grace Nolan, and Vir ginia Pelletier have constructed a replica of the study ball and are analyzing its acoustics.
