Heads Ticket Committee Seniors Don Caps And Gowns Oct. 29 Marjorie Thomas, senior Laetare Player, is chairman of the ticket committee for LADY PRECIOUS STREAM, fall drama production scheduled for Nov. 18, 19, and 20. Freshmen Nominate For Class Leader As a result of the nominations held at a freshman meeting on Oct. 17, Fran ces Smith, Phyllis Feuner, Jeanne Hur ley, Mary Veeneman. and Marianne Donohoe will be candidates for the of fice of class president at the elections next Tuesday. The nomination meeting was preced ed by a Freshmen Sing in the tea room. Popular tunes accompanied the singing of parodies written by Frances Butt, Genevieve Dieter, Rosamond Mc Millan. Mary Harrington, Bernice Hones, and Phyllis Feuner. Marianne Donohoe was song leader, and Louise Skodzinski, accompanist. Keeping up with the freshman has the staff statistician exhausted. A final check of the publicity cards reveals that Immaculata high school still leads the list with 45 of its graduates enrolled as freshmen. St. Scholastica maintains second place with 41, and St. Mary's with 11, has come up to tie for third place with Providence and Trinity, and with 11. Two more ex-presidents have come to light Marie McCarthy, who led her class at the Academy of Our Lady, I.ongwood, and Lorraine Super, who had top office among seniors at Lourdes high school last year. Lacking just two days of the tenth an niversary of the breaking of ground for the skyscraper building, Senior Sunday, Oct. 29, will have a triple significance this year. Traditionally, the Feast of Christ the King is the occasion on which the mem bers of the senior class don caps and gowns and take part in an academic pro cession, following investiture. This year, the day will be almost co- incidental with the tenth anniversary of the college foundation, on Nov. 1, 1929. and also with the one hundred and sixth anniversary of the foundation of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charily, B.V.M. The Reverend John M. McCarty, of the Diocesan Missionary band, will cele brate Mass for the seniors in Stella Maris Chapel, and will give the Senior Sunday address. Father McCarty, whose retreats and missions are well known throughout the Archdiocese, addressed Mundelein stu dents previously in 1934. With the sen iors, he will be a guest of the College at breakfast following the Senior Sunday Mass. Six Students Lead Peace Discussion At Mid-West Meet Accompanied by Sister Mary Augus tina, B.V.M., head of the history depart ment, and Sister Mary Harrita, B.V.M., also of the history department, six stu dents will take part in a Round Table discussion at the Mid-West Conference of the Catholic Association for Interna tional Peace, to be held on Oct. 29, at the College of St. Francis, Joliet. Representing the International Re lations club, Mary Caroline Bemis will be chairman of the Round Table on The Christian Way to Peace. Mary Ellen Kelly will review the past efforts of the Church in behalf of peace: Peggy Schweisthal will discuss the peace noie of Pope Benedict XV, and Ruth O'Hearn will speak on the work of Pope Pius XI and the present I loly Father, Pope Pius XII. Ann Wilkins will read a paper on Catholic Peace Organizations in Europe and America, and the Round Table will close with the formulation of a peace program by Mary Louise Shannon. Freshman Describes War Peril, Submarine Scare in Mid-Ocean Publishes Chemical Research Findings Heralded as significant in the scientific world is the recently published disserta tion of Dr. George M. Schmeing, pro fessor of chemistry, which was submitted in June to the Faculty of the Division of Physical Sciences at the University of Chicago. A Stldy ok the Spectral Photo- Electric Response ok Solutions of So- dum in Liquid Ammonia, the disserta tion further confirms the work of Kraus. who rejiorted some evidence of a photo electric effect, and the work of Crapple. who actually demonstrated the effect. The importance of the study of various solutes in liquid ammonia solutions and of photoelectric effects have been recognized comparatively recently. Dr. Schmeing's apparatus, which is his original design, has proved exceedingly accurate and will undoubtedly be used by other investigators. A member of the Faculty in the de partment of chemistry since 1930, Dr. Schmeing has prepared for publication and delivered before scientific societies numerous papers on the Teaching of Chemistry in College. After making several false starts and becoming involved in the European war. Lenore Schabas. freshman who spent the summer abroad, managed to elude the conflict across the At lantic. Miss Schabas, who with her mother and sister visited her grandparents in Sudelenland this summer on the oc casion of their golden wedding anni versary, embarked on the Hansa to re turn for registration here on Sept. 11. When we were three days out from Hamburg. she stated, we became cons cious that the boat was making a wide circle. Questioning the officers availed nothing, and our alarm became more acute when wc realized that the ship's Declares Philosophy Is Key to Happiness Insisting that philosophy and the deep intrinsic consciousness of the posses sion of a personal philosophy can oc cupy and make radiant each life, the Reverend John F. McCormick. S.J., head of the department of philosophy at Loyola university, addressed mem bers of Mu Nu Sigma, at its initial meeting on Oct. 10. With the Meaning and Function of Philosophy as the topic and core of his address, Father McCormick stressed the special type of illumination which must characterize the true philosopher. The learned man, he declared, is not necessarily the wise man, because knowledge in itself my be acquired by- anyone, but the power of bestowing on each happening its proper position in relation to the unified whole of life the power of integrating knowledge with practical experience that power is given only to a few. Reorganized this fall, the executive committee of the Philosophy club. Mu Nu Sigma, includes Sister Mary Basiline, B.V.M.. moderator of the club; the Reverend James J. Mahoney, S.J., professor of philosophy; Joseph T. Casey, professor of philosophy, and the following student officers: Mildred Murphy, president; Evelyn Templeman, vice-president ; Catherine Keller, sec retary; and Patricia O'Toole, treasurer. engines had stopped and wc were float ing on the mid-Atlantic. After a delay, she told the Skyscraper reporter, the captain received orders to return to port and the liner sailed, quietly and cautiously because of submarine haz ards. Upon arriving at Hamburg, the party took a night train to Rotterdam, Netherlands, where they hoped to ob tain passage on a neutral boat. We found Rotterdam in a state of extreme confusion, Miss Schabas re marked. People of all nationalities were trying desperately to return to their own countries before ocean travel be came even more dangerous. Boats which had been out of service for as long as 10 years were hastily patched up and refurbished to accomodate the throngs. In three hours trans-Atlantic crossing rates skyrocketed from 155 to 265. Fin ally, we managed to lx gt;ok passage on the Statendam. which ordinarily carried 1400 but was crowded with 2200. We were obliged to sign a paper guarantee ing to do our own cooking because the domestic staff was practically non-ex- istant. Fortunately, four American college boys volunteered to assume K.P. duty and the cuisine proved excellent, al though we were a bit dubious about the arrangement at first. Mid-ocean the boat halted to pick up survivors of a torpedoed British freight er. Thirty-seven members of the crew- were rescued, but the cargo of 9000 tons of grain and lumber sank with the boat. After seeing torpedoed boats and feel ing that war is not a remote possibility but a ghastly reality, Miss Schabas stated, I am happy that I am an Ameri can citizen, and that wc are sufficiently removed from Europe to make entrance into the conflict unnecessary. Display Faculty, Student Work at Art Convention Paintings, Air-Brush Designs Sent to Catholic College Art Group Meeting Faculty and student work will be on display at ihe Catholic College Art as sociation convention, which will open at the College of St. Catherine, in St. Paul, tomorrow, and Sister Mary Carmelyn, B.V.M., will preside at one of the dis cussion meetings. Sister Mary Janet, B.V.M., who is membership secretary of the associa tion, will display a liturgical composi tion demonstrating the Five Senses, and designs for Stole and Burse. In addition to acting as chaiman at a discussion of Art and Catholic Action during the convention, Sister Mary Car melyn will exhibit two original paint ings, the Raising of Jairus' Daughter, painted in egg tempera, using the meth ods employed by painters of the Renais sance, and an oil-portrait study called Girl in Green. Sister Mary Carmelyn developed her unusual technique in tempera under the direction of Professor John Connelly and Professor Aden Arnold at the University of Iowa, where her painting of The Rais ing of Jairus' Daughter will remain per manently on display, after the St. Paul convention. A number of other paint ings by Sister Mary Carmelyn were dis played in the University galleries this spring. Under the direction of Sister Mary Janet, head of the art department, stu dent artists have prepared a special ex hibit demonstrating the use of the air brush and its various techniques. The exhibit will include, not only the actual work done by the students, but photo graphs of their procedure at various stages in its preparation. Sallie Davis, Betty Kreuzer, Georgene McGowan, Virginia Gaertner '39, and (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1) Weather or No' Forecaster Will Talk Here Today Cisca Group Meets The Cisca College Group will hold ils second meeting of this year Sunday. Oct. 22, at 3 p. m. in the Auditorium theater. To form a practical plan for an apostolate among Catholic college students wiH be the purpose of the discussion. All students are invited. Here's a consolation Chicago weath er surprises even the weather man. C. A. Donnel, meteorologist for the United Stales Weather Bureau, who will ad dress the Science Forum at 3 o'clock today, confesses that each morning the weather map brings a new surprise. The man who makes the front page every day got his start with a cheap thermometer. While I was still in high school in Butler, Pennsylvania, he said, I be came interested in meteorology. I bought the Pittsburgh papers and compared their reports with my own findings for Butler. 1 discovered vast differences between the two readings, although the cities are near each other. When I was young, there were no university courses in meteorology, said the umbrella man. I studied by my self, and when I was 20 took the U.S. Civil Service examination. Later I was appointed, and I've been watching the weather ever since. Mr. Donnel has served in the Chi cago bureau for 27 years.-,- for the last 10 years he has been head of the de partment. What's my favorite season? re peated the weather man. Well, I don't like it hot, and I don't like it cold. Moderately cool is just right for me.
