January 20, 1958 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Student Adventurer Returns, Tells of Her New York Trip Kathleen Connolly Please don't misunderstand me. Chicago is a great 'little' city, but it can't hold a candle to New York. Where else but in Times Square can you stumble across 62 theatres within a six block radius and brush shoulders with Tony Perkins. Having spent a part of the Christmas holidays there, I am prepared to present an economical five-day Eastern itinerary or How a finan cially embarassed Mundelein freshman saw New York on 100. Sensing that Broadwav would have a good season, we were com pelled to purchase theatre tickets three months ahead of time. This involved a certain amount of risk ... for picking a hit play still in rehearsal is comparable to picking w a horse at the starting gate. One may chalk it up to woman's intu ition that in the months to follow gt;ur two plavs. Look Homeward Angel and Time Remembered became sellout hits. Our strictly economic ven ture meant that the Waldorf Astoria and flying Air Coach were out. The least expensive round trip transportation was bv an overnight Semicruiser Turnpike Express or simply, Bus. Arriving the Friday after Christ mas, we feasted at the Automat. The evening -as spent in the audi ence of fack Parr's Tonight show. (Question: Is Dodv Good man for real? Answer: I'm afraid so.) Our Saturday schedule included Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, an edifving edifice which sticks out on Fifth avenue like a sore Gothic thumb. That afternoon brought gales of laughter which an al most ridiculous Time Re membered provoked. Spout ing witticisms was one of Broadway's more capable casts: Helen Hayes, Richard Burton, and Susan Strasberg. Dinner followed at Sard;'s which is notoriously a la carte. That evening we put on our standing shoes and clutching our 3 SRO tickets, we took in The Music Man, Broadway's latest mu sical hit. Student Group Forms To Compare Religions Need some confidence when you are confronted by questions from non-Catholics? If so, then you'll be interested in a new movement starting at Mundelein which aims at giving students a better background in their own faith, as well as in creasing their insight into the sincere beliefs of others. This is the Comparative Religions group, moderated by Sister Marv Philippa, B.V.M. and Father Wrri. T. Clark. The first informal panel dis cussion, centering on Luth- eranism in America, will take place in the Phoenix Room on Feb. 11, at 4. The purpose will be to acquaint inquiring stu dents with Lutheran doctrines, and to pave the way of answer ing such often-asked questions as Why do we confess our sins to a man? , or Why aren't we justified by faith alone? . A steering committee has been formed whose aim it is to report on the tenets held by various religions, after which those attending the dis cussions in the smoker will be free to ask questions. The meetings will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. Members of the steering commit tee are Marv O'Malley. Nancy Scan- Ion, Terri Pasquinel'li. June Chc- nelle, Barbara Campbell, Mary Ful- garo, and Valmar Price. Sunday afternoon found us walk ing down Park avenue among the furs and noodles, at the Cloisters in Fort Trvon park, and visiting Whistler's Mother at the art mu seum. The evening's performance was the best movie of the year. The Bridges on the River Kwai. A 15(* ride on the subway dropped us off Monday at Wall street and the Stock exchange. Then we hopped the Staten Island ferry for a lo gt;k at the Statue of Li berty . . . and back again to Man hattan for a trip to Greenwich vil lage We discovered that the vear .- rnmd vogue there is black knee sox and shoulder length hair for the girls and beards for the men. Back at Times Square we k pt a date to see Look Homeward Angel, one of the year's most memorable pro ductions. Tuesday, our final day, was nassed in the company of Marlon Brando mumbling his way through Savronara at the Radio City Mu sic Hall. The film was followed by the Rockettes kicking uo their heels in a stage show. Equally spectacular was the line outside four blocks long and five abreast waiting to get into the Hall. Before departing that evening, there was time to catch a glimpse of the U.N. building situated so precariously near the bank of the East river.
