Unusual among the senior projects is that of Dorothy Fitzgerald, who is do ing original research in the field of protozoology. Under the direction of Dwight L. Hopkins, Ph.D., professor of zoology, Miss Fitzgerald is studying the possible types of nutrient media in the development of a protozoan, Chil- omonas Paramecium. Isolating the Paramecium by micro- pipettes into depression slides which arc kept in a dustless, moist chamber, Miss Fitzgerald is determining the growth of the animal in relation to various media: nutrient agar, wheat broth, and tap water. In connection with her experiment, Miss Fitzgerald is consulting Dr. S. O. Mast and Dr. D. M. Pace of Johns Hopkins university, who have done extensive work in this field.

Following Mundelein's 1938 publica tion precedents, Quest, Volume VIII, will appear with a new cover. Con tents, according to editors, arc fascin ating, facile, and versatile. A special feature of the volume is a number of contributions by former editors Genevieve del Becarro '37, Jo anne Du Pont Dimmick '38, Jane Mal kemus '37, and Emer Phibbs Ditchfield '34. Pontiff's Illness Elicits Universal Sorrow and Prayer The recent serious illness of His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, awakened new appreciation of the Pontiff's vast achievement in the promotion of Catholic Action, in his valiant defense of persecuted peoples throughout the world, his courage ous fight for freedom of worship, and his vital personal interest in Catholic education. A new manifestation of that in terest occurred this fall, when His Holiness recommended to officials at the Catholic University of Amer ica special stress upon the study of social and economic conditions and upon the just solution of the prob lems they involve. Informed of the course in Papal Encyclicals introduced here this fall, the Holy Father, through a personal secretary, radiogramed to Sister Mary Consuela, B.V.M., Pres ident of the College, his approval of the course and his blessing upon the Faculty and students. Cognizant of the immeasurable debt of gratitude which the world owes to the Holy Father and of the tremendous loss he would be at the present time, the Faculty and stu dents offered special prayers for him last Friday and will continue special prayers for him throughout Advent Will Read Paper At Classics Meet Sister Mary Donald, B.V.M., head of the Classics department, will read a pa per on The Development of the Roman Garments into Ecclesiastical Vestments, at the second annual meeting of the Illi nois Classical Conference, at Springfield, on Dec. 9. Interviewed about the content of the paper, Sister Mary Donald observed that no special vestments were used by the early Christian bishops when celebrating Mass, and that ordinarily they wore the conventional Roman dress, consisting of a tunic, with or without the paenula, an all-over mantle. Dogged Classicists Hound History of Canine Muffs By Clare I f an inquiring reporter should ac cost you in the corridor and ask the question What doesn't the Classical department know anything about? you'd feel pretty safe in replying Spaniel's earmuffs. But you don't know the classicists they're as versatile as chameleons. Be hind their intellectual brows and Gre cian noses lurk the latest data on wa terproof cocker spaniel earmuffs, com plete with muzzle and mudguards. In case you're in an interested mood, they'll voice their knowledge of the person who invented the canine car- muffs, the patent number, and its 2,000- ycar-old genealogy. A story in the Tribune first brought the matter of doggy earmuffs to their attention. An Evanstonian dog-lover noted that Muggins, her cocker span iel, chewed his own ears each time he dove into his dog food. Caroling softly, The time has come she found a piece of waterproof cloth, seized sewing box and scissors, and began. When she came up for air, Anderson Muggins had a helmet on his head, pockets on his ears, and a neat bow at the nape of his neck. As the frequenters of Room 509 read this, a smug satisfaction spread over their intelligent countenances, for they knew this was merely history repeating itself with variations. Seizing the works of Herodotus, the first Greek historian, they flipped through the pages to Book III, Line 113, a section on the Arabians. With a muffled chuckle they read: They the Arabians have two re markable kinds of sheep, found no where else. One kind has long tails, not less than three cubits in length, which, if they were allowed to drag on the ground, would become ulcerated. But every shepherd is enough of a car penter to construct a sort of little cart, which they fasten under the tail of each sheep, to keep it off the ground. Which proves that there is nothing new under the sun and that potential patent-seekers would do well to search the Classics. Georgia Jean Is Star of French Marionette Show Annual Christmas Play Will Be Presented Dec. 13, 14 Russian spies, gloomy chateaux, and a cathedral blazing with Christmas lights will provide some of the atmos phere for the Marionette show to be presented by the French club on Dec. 13 and 14, in the Little Theatre. With Georgia Jean, the Skyscraper's editorial character, as its heroine, the script has been written by Mary Caro line Bemis, Jean McGinnis, and Anna marie Masterson '38, Georgia Jean's originator. The play opens with Georgia Jean and her friend Rctte on their way to Midnight Mass at Rheims. But before they reach the Cathedral they become entangled in some amazing adventures. Includes English Lines For the benefit of those who do not always understand French, the French dialogue is interspersed with enough English to give a clear comprehension of the story. The parts will be played by marionettes, with the French con versation classes of Loyola and Mun delein working the dolls and speaking the lines. Margaret Mary O'Flaherty, Marguerite Des Champs, and Anne Marie O'Rourke will alternate as Georgia Jean; Joan Bourque, Helen Ahem, and Kathryn Dealy will alternate as Bettc, Georgia Jean's companion; Isabel Molloy, Harriet Ashton, and Dorothy Koziel will alter nate as Olga; and Elaine Hartman, Ber nice Joerger, and Janice Johnston will alternate as the inn-keeper's wife. Loyolans taking part will be Jerry Leics as Boris; John Bremer as Colonel de Vaudemont; and John O'Connor as Lieutenant de la Houssoye. Numerous details necessary for pro duction of a marionette show are be ing taken care of by various members of the French department. Rita Valen- zano has designed the scenery, which ranges from scenes on the main street of a French village with a sidewalk cafe, a bakery and high, odd houses, to an old Norman chateau. Aid On Committees Catherine Rheiner has designed cos tumes for the other characters. Both Miss Valenzano and Miss Rheiner were assisted by May Farmer. Costuming of the principal characters was done by Virginia Coffey, assisted by Mildred Mahoney, Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, Virginia Arado, Joan Wilt- zius, and Mary Jane Sheridan. Jean Perkins heads the ticket com mittee, which includes Miss Coffey, Helen Cashion, Miss Farmer, Dorothy Dember, Sanfcr Cieslak, Jill Caldwell, Doris Ruddy, Betty Miller, Mary Lou Bell, and several uppcrclassmen. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 2) Air Second Forum On Peace, Dec. 6 Continuing the series of Peace Forums opened last month, ihe Radio Workshop will present a forum on The Effects of War upon Music and Painting, at 2 p.m next Wednesday, Dec. 7, through sta tion WCFL.
