Cowles Strickland McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 1956 An excellent book for seniors planning practice teaching next semester. You've all heard that genius is one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration. This book is about the nine-tenths part. It can be applied quite profitably to the art of keeping the little angels' attention long enough to trick them into learning something. It devises means by which inspiration may be made to occur more frequently than is wont. It helps the teacher to give an intelligent and competent performance, even when inspiration is lacking, and shows how to use an inspiration when she is fortunate enough to have one.

Thought for the Week: It doesn't breathe It doesn't smell In fact it doesn't feel so well I am disgusted with my nose The only thing it does is blows. Campus Cutups To Drink or Not To Drink? That's The Co-ed Question by Joan Sheridan Drinking the root of evil or the liquid of life it all depends on the individual declare Mundeleinites and Loyolans. Social drinking has been de fined by one interesting senior as something rightly or wrongly thought of as evil. According to her idea, when a person reaches a certain age, he will break with this concept full speed ahead. Although the majority of collegians interviewed agreed that they drink or would drink only if they enjoyed do ing so supplementary questions proved that either they were kidding them selves or the interviewers. IN PARTICULAR, 100 of the men questioned agreed that there are definite factors influencing them to drink. Such comments as a person begins drinking because of someone else a group and advertising and television are influencing factors seem to contradict the pure theory of enjoyable drinking. People drink because of other fac tors like a disagreeable date, remi nisced a frank Loyolan. Others in cluded parties, family and exams as additional drink-inducing factors. An unusual comment among the others was: We're too young for outside factors to influence us. Both L and M's agreed there are occasions when one must take a drink, or at least hold one. For example, at a cocktail party they would consider it embarassing, in fact, a breach of etiquette, if one did not accept. It would be ridiculous to go to the Top of the Rock and get a coke ven tured one Mundeleinite. EXCESSIVE DRINKING, a some time collegiate problem, received a wide variety of replies. One eager lass, when asked if she would attend a party where she knew there would be immoderate drinking, contributed: I'd go, but I wouldn't stay. Another added: You're not re sponsible for what everyone does. I'd go to the party. You're not go ing there to condone it. On the Loyola scene, a talkable card player, thoroughly evading serious ness, proclaimed excessive drinking can be enjoyable. His colleague con fessed that he would attend such a riotous party only if a certain group were present. CONTROVERSY GALORE arose from the everlasting question concern ing Mundelein's no-drinking rule at dances. From such quotes as the rule is unrealistic and old fashioned to it's good; at times you get a class of fellows who drink like fish reached our ears. The majority of girls ques tioned agreed whole-heartedly with the rule and would not want liquor served at dances even for their dates. Heavens If he can't go without drinking for three hours well ... There is a time and place for drinking. A dance is not the place, solemnly cautioned another Mun deleinite. AS ONE JUNIOR PHILOSO PHIZED: A thinking person will realize what drinking is for. Student Salesmen Speed Up Sales Efforts; Deadline Near Mundelein students are sharpening up their persuasive abilities as the sales campaign for the Fred Waring benefit program enters the final stretch. As of last Friday, the figures showed: ads, 670; patrons, 546; tick ets, 1,885, for a 3,101 total. The picture was lighter last year when the figures were higher. Ads had brought in 4,067; patrons, 1,993; and tickets, 8,566, for a total profit of 8,530.76. Sister Assisium commented, It seems to look brighter. On the darker side, this year's ex penses are 6,000 and there are 1,000 more seats than there were last year. Among the early birds were Rosalie Neufeldt who purchased the first ticket and patron, and Sheila Sepanski who bought the first ad and is currently one of the leading ticket salesmen. Bringing in the most money before the close of school was Mary Fran Hoffman's accomplishment. Her ac count totalled 28, winning her a Fred Waring record album.
