Flinching at Fluctuating Fashions Just Not Done By Stylish Freshmen In These New Books Check Your Dividends If you want to know if your favorite stock has paid dividends for the past 20, or 30, or 40 years, you need only consult 11 new vol umes in Room 503. They are Moody's Industrials, famous and reliable business refer ence books, giving the histories of corporations, the rating of bonds, and other valuable business data. Stein, Roe, and Farnham, La Salle street investment counselors, gave the volumes to the College on the recommendation of Miss Doris Carter, personal director at the company. Let us suffer; let us moan, but by all means let us be fashionable. Mundelein may not be the style center of the world, but the Fresh men, newly emancipated from the horror of uniforms, are beginning to notice that there are certain styles followed on campus. For instance, one style in vogue these days is the casual look. The main rule for achieving a look of casual sophistication is never to look dressed up. Hair styles whether long or short reflect this idea in their windblown naturalness. One breeze from the lake and you have achieved it. The same effect can also be pro duced by whipping an egg- beater through your hair. My dear, it's simply ravishing, and so casual. A purse is a necessary accessory. If it is large, so much the better. It is not uncommon to see a stu dent reach into her purse and pro duce her lunch and all the books she needs for the day's classes. Outdoor wear for the Mun delein student should include a pair of water wings. These are essential if the student wants to go through the Loy ola parking lot during the rainy season. Puddles in that vicinity have been known to reach great depths. Every well dressed girl wears knee sox. When we were very young, we objected violently when obliged to wear them in the win ter; but now they are in style so we wear them willingly. A small square cloth folded tri angularly is often substituted for a hat. Sizes may vary, but the squares should always be worn far back on the head and knotted securely under the chin. In case you sprain your ankle, these scarves make excellent triangular bandages. A metal band clamped on the head is merely decorative for Freshmen, but for volatile people it has a practical value. When they blow their tops, the retaining band prevents them from blowing too far. These are the reports of a Freshman on the Mundelein look. You won't find it in Mademoiselle, but to us it seems just too, too lovely. At last we are free to wear some thing besides a uniform. This is glamour, and not even the per plexing problem of what to wear can dim our enthusiasm. Table Tennis Keeps Players* Eyes on Ball Table tennis or ping-pong or iginated in England and is played just about everywhere now. You find yourself serving a lit tle white celluloid ball on the table just low enough so that the ball ba-re-ly jumps over the net by its own power. That's right Now here it comes, hurling back at you. Wait Don't run Smash it oh dear, your op ponent sliced it and put a little English on it (translation: made it spin). That's all right, you're an ama teur in your own right now. Feel the power surging through your arm as you practice a backhand stroke Now, hurl it back with your pad dle oops I mean racket. Front- hand Backhand Palm-of-the- hand (Sorry dropped the rack et). The points are piling up, 1 all, 4-5, 18-20, 20-20 The game is called A deuce game, tied at 20 all This time your striker-out serves, 1 all, 5 all, 18 all, 21-1? What happened? Weren't you winning? Oh, an injured finger. Well it's been agreed how about some shuffleboard? Of Mud and Men . . . Stop Intercepting That Pass; Tackle Shuffleboard Instead There is no earthly glory that can hold a candle to the glowing light of a college football game. Until two weeks ago, my knoivlcdge of football was conspic uous by its absence. Now, from the vast vault of facts gathered from one game, I can explain in detail its intricacies. Surrounded by thousands of spectators, 22 men crouch in the middle of the field. They seem to be glaring at each other. Of course some people find it hard to make friends. Then, they all begin running around, bumping into each other, and falling down. Their clumsi ness seems to be due to the stiff, heavy uniforms they wear and to the slippery, muddy field. My friends explain that Notre Dame is trying to take the ball azvay from Indiana. Not very sportsmanlike, I think to myself, since Notre Dame kicked the ball to Indiana in the first place. No matter what I think, they con tinue to knock each other over with out regard for courtesy. Running around, too, are a couple of men in striped shirts. Al though obviously escaped convicts, they keep waving their arms around to attract attention. One of them keeps dropping his handkerchief, and the whole game is held up until he picks it up. Something should he done about these men. It seems the whole point of the game is to carry the ball past a zvooden structure called a goal post. For a group of supposedly intelli gent men, they certainly go about it in an ignorant way. The logical thing to do is to stand back and let the quarterback through. This way the game would take much less time. Not one man gets out of line, however. Instead, they actually try to jump on each other. Ifs no wonder they have to keep taking men off the field in muddy lumps. As you see, football is a sense less sport. Why doesn't Notre Dame take up a clean, intellectual sport like shuffleboard? Sophomores Sing Way Through Survey Classes To demonstrate that the sixteenth century was a singing era, students in three Survey of English Liter ature classes will sing or listen to sixteenth century songs and bal lads, Nov. 4. Students in the 8 a.m. class will record the songs, and the tape will be played for students in later classes. Joan Dougherty, Marilyn Zanke, and Yvonne Damen will sing. Elizabeth Casieri and Lenore Walker will be accompanists, and Kathleen Newman will be com mentator. Among- the songs will be Cam pion's There Is a Garden in Her Face; Gibbons' The Silver Swan, and the anonymous Green Sleeves. Shakespearean songs will in clude When Icicles Hang by the Wall, Who is Sylvia, and Hark, Hark, the Lark. Ballads recorded will be Lord Randall, Barbara Al lan, and King Arthur. Beowulf, Grendel Win Party Prizes Beowulf, Grendel, and hit mother came up from their cave he- neath the sea to attend the Fresh men-Sophomore party, Oct. 26. Three recently escaped convicts, dragging their balls and chains, mingled with other costume-clad students. Raggedy Ann, Marjorie O'Con nor, in pinafore and yarn braids. and Andy, Sandra Ivans, stepped out of comic-book land, holding hands, to receive the award as the most realistic. With his trusty sword and armor of silver foil, the doughty bight, Beowulf, Jean Rieck, along with the wild hair horror monsters Grendel, Lorraine Gauvereau, and his mother, Pauline Abraham clumped to the center for thtj most original award. Marching down the aisk, Maureen Sweeney, a recent bride, and the bride groom, were the prettiest. Two ladies in a horse, Ella Schoen and Clare Christens* were the funniest.
