Rosary Scientist Gives Lecture For Biologists The Differences Between Plants and Animals were explained by Sister Mary Ellen, O.P., chairman of the Biology department at Rosary college, at the Dec. 4 meeting of the Biology forum. Touching upon the comparison be tween photosynthesis and respiration, Sister Ellen stated that there is no organ ill animals comparable to the plant leaf. The release of free oxygen is important in photosynthesis; for this reason green plants are sources of oxygen for all living beings. Sister illustrated that animals, as a rule, exercise parental care over their ycung. The only thing comparable to this in plants is the storage of food in the dispersed seed. The five senses, imagination and memory, while found in animals, are entirely lacking in plants, Sister ob served, adding that the plant also con tains no cell corresponding to the nerve cell. UNews Chemists Discuss Atomic Development At a meeting in the Hotel Sherman on Dec. 4, attended by Sister Mary Martinette, B.V.M., chairman of the Chemistry department, and Sister Mary Marguerite Christine, B.V.M., also of the Chemistry department, chemists and scientists discussed atomic energy and plans for its future research and de velopment. Organist Traces Music Origins in Lecture-Recital The art of program-making in music was traced in a lecture-recital by Edward Eigenschenk Mus.D., of the American Conservatory, on Dec. 4, for members of the Organ Guild and guests from the Van Duscn Organ club. With an Overture by Hollins, Dr. Eigenschenk opened the program. The early school was represented by Arne's The Maggot and Fugue; Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Major; and the Andante from Haydn's Symphony in D Major. A highly-descriptive Suite by Jacob was effectively followed by Vierne's Westminster Carillon. A simple Rev erie by Dickinson, and the Widor Toc cata ended the recital. Dr. Eigenschenk, an associate oi the American Guild of Organists, has made- concert tours throughout Europe and America, and knows personally many- organ masters of the day. FOREIGN MINISTERS Sweeping concessions from Russia's Moloti v enabled the Big Four foreign ministers to complete work on the peace treaties for the Axis satellite nations of Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Finland. Included in the treaties were issues which had occasioned disputes for over a year. Among the treaty provisions are: 1. A guarantee of free use of the Danube River for all of the United Na tions, a point strongly opposed by- Russia ; 2. An American proposal that any country which declined to sign the treaty should not benefit from the agree ments, aimed at querulous Yugoslavia; 3. An agreement that will increase Italian reparations to 360 million dol lars. The treaties will be signed in Paris, Feb. 10. The Foreign Ministers will assemble in Moscow, March 10, to begin drafting treaties with Germany and Austria. UNESCO Great Britain's Dr. Julian Huxley is UNESCO's first director-general. A bi ologist, Dr. Huxley has stated: I do not believe in God, because I think the idea has ceased to be a useful hypothe sis. His choice was repcrtedly a stra tegic measure to induce the stand-offish Russians to join UNESCO. UNRRA With the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Association scheduled to cease operations soon, the General Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee has adopted a United States plan by which nations in need of food will apply directly to those countries (principally the United States and Great Britain) which have food to spare. The plan is assured of passage by the General Assembly.

To quote Eugene Field: ... jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be This bit of verse seems especially applicable to our fellow-students who, with an eye on the calendar, have some thing special in mind lor Christmas. Elaine Jenkins, chemistry major, just can't get cm ugh and wants a chemistry set. fur experimenting at home, and Betty Fenton would like an organ for lt; gt;r.anic th.mistry. To alleviate the transportation diffi culties, thinking ininels have deviscel ilea methods in commuting. Ex-Girl Scout Clare Johnson has asked Santa for a cam e to paddle along the shore to school. On below-zero days she hopes to hitch a ride from Ruth Ward, who would like to find a collapsible amphibious jeep in her stocking. Patricia Nealin's only request is a jet-propelled heliccpter for holiday traveling. A new toboggan is one of Gertrude Sptllbrink's wishes, so she can .coast in frcm Sauganash. A few of Santa's reindeer would satisfy Mary Jean Ward. They'd come in handy when the bus breaks down. Other wishful thinkers, like Marion King, would like a hand-painted, glow- in-tlic-dark telephone installed in 506. Barbara Mason asks fcr an alarm clock that stmts itself off, and Berna- dette Breen seeks a formula for an easier way to start the day than waking up. Rosemary Ahern wants a cocker spantel just to keep the conversation going. A blotter tnat blots under water is the request of Helen Roach. Hannah Klein yearns for an air-ceiiditioning system for her little blue car. Practical LaVon Froehlich wants a nylon stocking cap that dries quickly on rainy days. 1 he answer to Cather ine Quilty's dreams would be an ade quate supply of strap-on, tie-up brogans, to end her wandering shoe worries. A brand new Terrapin, Blanche Smith orders ncse clips, fins, water wings, an inner tube, a flutter board, and a gaily striped tank suit. Another aquatic enthusiast, Florence Jankowski has just one Christmas wish. She wants everyone to know that she passed her beginners' test in swimming. Adelaide Costello wants a horse with a built-in radio for her early morning rides. A trip to the Virginia Military Institute is on Patricia Sullivan's list, and Valesca Bleinert and Joyce Stedem say more of the same, regarding the Navy Ball at Northwestern. Patricia Dannehy would like an extra set of fingers so she can count to 20. For required outside reading, Cynthia Knight wants a hand-knitted buffalo coat. Zita Armstrong wants a jar of Pond's. After all, she's engaged and she's lovely. Ethel Dignan would like a repeat performance of the week-end during which she went to the Boulevard Room, the Camellia House, the Pump Room, and the Buttery. Just explain the difference between the front and the back of the new Studebakers, and Jacquelyn Bledsoe will be happy. And did you ever stop to think that if Mundelein weren't a skyscraper, we'd be seeing you at the Four-Story Building Ball on Dec. 30?
