Pafee Four SKYSCRAPER Interest in Synchronized Swimming Takes Athletic Director Around World Miss Scanlan Lectures Fort Lauderdale at A pool in every port is the chief in terest of Miss Eileen Scanlou, and it is the first thing she seeks in her extensive travels. This is the tribute paid by the Fort Lauderdale (Florida) Daily News to Miss Scanlan, director of ath letics, when she attended the seventh an nual International Aquatic Forum, Dee. 20 to Jan. 5, in Fort Lauderdale. As a guest speaker at the forum which was dedicated to Physical Fitness Through Aquatics, Miss Scanlan spoke on the topic, Synchronized Swimming and Competitive Synchronized Swimming, ex plaining the methods of teaching and judging synchronized swimming, anil later discussed water shows and pageantry. According to Miss Katherine Curtis of Chicago Teachers' college. This type of swimming requires endurance, not speed; versatility in the use of all strokes, not specialization in one; and a keen sense of rhythm as well as the ability to adapt one's stroke to the average of the group. The team is only as finished- as strong, as beautiful as its weakest performer. Synchronized swimming has been com petitively organized in Germany and Canada for many years. Miss Scanlan and Miss Curtis have collaborated for the past 10 years in promoting it and water ballet throughout the United States. In 1938, Miss Scanlan and Claudia Eckert, former A.A.U. national swim ming and diving champion, traveled around the world, giving swimming and diving exhibitions and demonstrating the technique of sychronized swimming. Their itinerary included 1 lonolulu, Yo kohama, Tokio, Shanghai, Hongkong. Singapore, Bombay. Cairo, Rome, Monte Carlo. Paris. London, and New York. Miss Scanlan has taught swimming in Ireland: she attended the 1936 Olympic Games as press representative, and she put on a water ballet exhibition in Alas ka (luring the summer of 1940. More than 700 swimmers and coaches attended the Aquatic Forum and partici pated in the East-West Swimming meet. Among the notables were Matt Mann of the University of Michigan; Adolpb Kic- fer, Olympic champion; Steve Forsyth, coach of Katherine Rawls; Howard Steppe of Princeton university; William Merrian of the University of Pennsyl vania ; Edward Kennedy of Columbia university: K. L. Marry of Brown uni versity; James Reilly of Rutgers uni versity; Gorden Little of Cornell uni versity; Robert Muir, Williams college: and many other prominent figures in na tional aquatics.

Hear Peace Plans In Second of War Crisis Lectures D lt; Paul Professor Speaks Before Assembly In describing a plan for a realistic peace in the post-war world. Charles O'Donnell. Ph.D.. professor of political science at De Paul university, outlined a three-fold program of Catholic Action and the theory of a commonwealth of nations, in his lecture yesterday. Stating that the first job of the people of this country is to win the war, Dr. O'Donnell pointed out the necessity of Catholic spiritual and civic action and reconstruction both during the war and after. He spoke at length of the Christmas. 1939, message of Pope Pius XII and of the five points which His Holiness lists in his plan for an enduring peace. The International Commonwealth, which Dr. O'Donnell believes to be es sential for the continuance of the period of peace, must profit from the mistakes made after the formation of the League of Nations. The restoration of order and the re construction of normalcy must be based on justice and charity, he concluded. This is a most difficult problem, but, he concluded, it is a moral obligation of the United States to sec that it is ac complished. Dr. O'Donuell's talk was the second in a series of lectures aimed to develop student understanding of the present world crisis.
