The initials stand for the National Federation of Catholic College Stu dents, and the purpose of the or ganization is to serve Catholic col lege students. The Chicago Region of NFCCS is composed of 10 schools in the Chicago area, including Mundelein. The Federation helps the various clubs on campus by supplying sug gestions for club functions, by help ing to solve various club problems through communication with other schools which have coped with the same problems. The Chicago Region contains four commissions or groups which work on a special aspect of college student life. These are the Student Govern ment commission. Forensics (Speak ing), Mariology (allied with Sodal ity), and the Press commission, seated at Mundelein. Each of the commissions holds an annual workshop so that inter ested people from each campus may discuss their problems and ex change ideas. An annual national summer con gress, at which vital issues of the Federation are debated, and a Reg ional congress held in March bring Catholic college students together. r Q0T Citizen of Illinois, Governor William G. Stratton, shakes hands with first student at Mundelein, II ll 01 Catherine Lamb, SAC president, following his lecture on Nov. 19. Other Seniors gather on the Social Room steps before the Faculty reception for Governor and Mrs. Stratton. Fencers Train For League Competition The salute is made. Swords are raised and crossed in the clash of attack. Students go cavalier as they fence under the direction of Mrs. Harold Louis. It is the love of a good contest that takes Patricia Sullivan, Mary Ellen Casey, Marianne Krzysik, Catherine Packard, and Angela Fa vale to the River Park Fencing club. The fencers will say that they are preparing for the First Woman's Prep meet sponsored by the Amateur Fencer's League of America, Jan. 24. Qovernor Notes Influence Of Women in State, Federal Affairs Observers Watch Transit Of Mercury Strange things were happening when people interested in astron omy gathered in the observatory to watch the transit of Mercury in front of the sun, Nov. 14. The transit lasted from 9:36 a.m., to 12:12 p.m. The intervals of the transits are usually seven to 13 years when oc- curing in November. The last one was recorded on Nov. 11, 1940. Accurate observations of transits give important data on the exact orbit and position of the planet. Mercury is now recorded as being 36,000,000 miles from the sun, the nearest planet to it, and 57,000,000 miles from the earth. Lecture Concerns Exceptional Child Miss Bernice M. Grannon will lecture to members of the Psychol ogy and Education departments, Dec. 3, at 3 p.m. in Room 405. Top ic of the lecture will be Educational Provisions for Exceptional Children. Miss Grannon is director of the Bureau of Mentally Handicapped Children in the Department of Spe cial Education of the Chicago Pub lic schools.

Enjoying Rossini's Cinderella were Catherine Lamb, SAC presi dent, Sheila Woods, SAC vice-presi dent, and Joan Dawson, Senior pres ident. Campus club presidents in the box included Emily Kloc. Glee club president; Rosemary Ernst. Piano club president, and Jeanne Regan, Orchestra president. Gearing his theme to a feminine audience, Governor William G. Stratton told the assembled Faculty and student body, Nov. 19, that wo men have positions of dignity and influence in state government. Their influence is incalculable. he said, especially in education and welfare, pointing out that he is the first governor to have appointed a woman to his cabinet. The unique characteristic of gov ernment in the United States, the Governor observed, is not that it is constitutional, but that, through the free franchise, a personal rela tionship, a spiritual union exists be tween the people and their govern ment. Introducing the Governor, Sister Mary John Michael, B.V.M., Pres ident of the College, stressed the patriotic aspects of Thanksgiving, insisting that it is a day on which Americans offer thanks to God for the gifts of freedom and abundance. Father Michael Dempsey, A.M., of the Religion department, who gave the Invocation at the Thanks giving lecture, prayed: We are grateful to Thee, O God. for bring ing cessation to the war and un bounded prosperity to our people during the past 12 months. We thank you for our freedom, for our opportunities to seek the truth in a world where there is much fear and falsehood. SAC Speaks Up . . .
