The sophomore class contains four straight-A students: Susan Pufahl, Carol Rembis, Marguerite Swierk and Retreat Changes Discussion Subject New methods of improving student retreats was the subject of a recent faculty-student meeting. At this time, class moderators and representatives from each class who had attended the last student retreat drew up recom mendations to be presented to the ad ministration for consideration. The first suggestion was that two separate student retreats be held each year. One would be for seniors and juniors, the other for sophomores and freshmen. The second idea presented by the committee was that to free students for semester break, retreats should be held on weekends. This plan, which is the usual one for city schools, would include Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday sessions. In order to allow those girls who do not return second semester to make a retreat, the committee finally sug gested that student retreats be held in the fall. If such a plan were adopted, the possible dates for next year's re treats would be Nov. 18 and Dec. 1, weekends in which there will also be closed retreats at Our Lady of the Cedars. Since the administration is inter ested in student reaction to these recommendations, students are asked to contact their SAC representatives with their opinions on retreats. Little Sisters Give 'Thank You' Party The Big Sisters will be formally thanked by their freshman little sis ters at a party April 27 at 1:10 in the social room and 405.

Annual Writing Award Draws Creative Talent Writers, sharpen your pencils and wits The annual Mundelein Creative Writing Contest is in progress.

Dr. Frank Lusk, who originated the memorial in honor of his mother, has generously added 900 this year so that Mundelein girls may be en couraged to pursue or may find a vo cation in the art of graceful and wholesome writing. Entries for the contest must be sub mitted to Sister Mary Irma, Room 509, before 5 p.m., April 28. They must either be clipped from publica tions and mounted on 8V6 by 11 paper or typed and double-spaced. Chicago U Blocks NSA Reform Bills Mundelein took an active part in the recent NSA Regional Assembly held at the University of Chicago. Led by SAC President Anne Miller and NSA Co-ordinator-elect Sue Brown, the 15 delegates proposed constitutional amendments in cooperation with the Northwestern delegation. The amendments dealt with reforms which would correct complaints of in accurate and irresponsible representa tion in the Illinois-Wisconsin Region. Only one amendment, eliminating geo graphical restrictions on the election of regional officers, passed. Mundelein also took an active role in the controversy over the House Committee on Un-American Activities. A majority report written by delegates from Wheaton, Northwestern and Mundelein passed in the Academic Freedom Committee by one vote but was defeated by eight votes in the leg islative plenary. A minority report submitted by a University of Chicago delegate was passed. Commenting on the defeated ma jority report, Sue Brown said, We at tempted to incorporate the cross-sec tion of student viewpoints in our reso lution. We affirmed our belief in the protection of the individual against the alleged violations of civil liberties committed by HUAC, while stating the need and right of Congress to investi gate subversion threatening our na tional security. The successfully passed minority report calling for the abolition of HUAC was just not rep resentative of all the students in the Illinois-Wisconsin Region. SPRING FASHIONS were modeled by Sue Meyers and other members of the clothing and textile class for a record crowd at the annual home economics symposium last week. Auxiliary Presents Spring The Women's Auxiliary will pre sent A Breath of Spring, their an nual benefit Salad Bar Luncheon and Card Party May 11 in the tearoom.

The salad bar will be open from 11:30 until 1 p.m. and cards will fol low in the afternoon. Features of the program will in clude a raffle on a FM-AM radio and a silver service, table prizes and door prizes. Tickets for the program are 2.50. Intercollegiate News by Dorothy Nelson Although this column is composed of comments from other college pa pers, these remarks are dedicated to the carious groups on our own cam pus. GOSHEN COLLEGE To our sometimes-harrassed and al ways-beloved faculty: No man was ever greater than the difficulties he overcame. Great difficulties, great men; small difficulties, small men. From struggles come strength and physical and mental health. UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT To the Laetare Players and the Re view and Skyscraper staff: Ap preciation is a great part of artistic contribution, said Mrs. Henry Ford, II, in answer to a question concerning a woman's contribution to the arts. CRANE JUNIOR COLLEGE To Phoenix Room inhabitants: Conversation creates brotherhood. It leads to many highways of knowledge . . . understanding . . . wisdom. MARYLHURST COLLEGE To those girls who have car-less boy friends: How essential that noble beast, the horse, is to life What would have happened to Cinderella, Gwenivere, and all the other girls carried off to live happily ever after if their intendeds had no horses? Where would the Knights of the Round Table be, not to mention our somewhat modern knights such as Dillon, Pala din, etc., if horses were not? SAINT MARY-OF-THE-WOODS COLLEGE To the seniors, as a comment, and to the juniors, as a warning: What is a senior? She's a pillar of virtue, a citadel of sympathy, the essence of grace. And still, she's the three-footed clod who trips over toboggans and basketballs BARRY COLLEGE To the wise, for whom a few words are sufficient: The most important thing about a woman is the expression on her face, and the most beautiful expression one can have is the smile. A smile makes any woman's face prettier. Tearoom, Missions, Parking Lot Head List of SAC Endeavors The SAC officers have acted upon various measures recently from sweat shirts to voting. After some question raised by mem bers of the junior class in selecting a replacement when an officer leaves office, the council ruled that Roberts Rules would be upheld, whereby the individual class council would use their own judgment regarding the manner of procedure for selecting a new officer. (This was the plan adopted by the junior council when their trueasurer left last semester.) SINCE THE DEAN'S board has re cently relayed requests for more cleanliness in the tearoom, the respon sibility for the general premises and especially the tearoom, has been KIDDIE DAY brought sleet, rain, low temperatures and 100 children in their Easter outfits to a make-believe circus in the gym. Rosemary Hussey Hooper with her own three children and her two adopted Chinese refugee daughters came all the way from Michigan and got a warm welcome from three of Rosemary's former teachers, Sister Mary Donald, Sis ter Mary Pierre and Sister Mary Ligouri. turned over to the four class ser geants at arms for enforcement. Thus, the students will be handling minor disciplinary problems themselves as is in the case of the Phoenix Room. Since the Sodality has received numerous requests for donations to mission groups and even needy in dividuals, the SAC voted to grant an amount from the treasury equivalent to the proceeds of the Spring Mixer for the Sodality to use with discretion for the various requests. Other chari table requests will then be channeled to the Sodality for their review and action. To facilitate closer class and SAC planning of social functions, the four class social chairmen will be members of the Social Arrangements Board. THE QUESTION was raised re garding invalidation of election bal lots when the ballot is not completely filled. Since a number of people leave certain offices vacant on the ballot be cause they do not know the girls run ning, the council felt those girls re ceiving votes on incomplete ballots should not lose the vote cast for them. Therefore, all ballots, whether com pletely filled or not will be valid. A declaration, also is being drafted for approval by the President of the college to determine the purposes of student government and to acquire more power for the SAC.
