Loyola Males Vary Views On Girls' Athletic Antics by Mary Jo Murray and Marianne Wagner Editor's note: Recently several Loyola students were asked their opinions on girls in sports. Below are their ideas. MANY HOT DOGS were roasted despite some slightly freezing weather that arrived unexpectedly on Junior Class Day, Oct. 17. Th picnic supper, held on the lake front, was followed by songs, games and a treasure hunt. Field Trips, Gimmicks, Contests Provide for Lively Club Calendar BAKE SALE For a caloric post-mid-term treat, the Sodality will sponsor a bake sale on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Individual or group servings of cakes, cookies, brownies and fudge are in the making. The purpose of the bake sale is to subsidize the expense for the five-day Sodality Retreat for those students who need financial assist ance. The Sodality Retreat will be held from Jan. 27 to Feb. 1 at Our Lady of the Cedars. Eleven seniors are now preparing for participation in the 21st annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, a nation-wide contest to be held Dec. 3.

Laetare Players Have gimmick will travel is the theme of Laetare Players' campaign for the promotion of ticket sales for Arsenic and Old Lace to be pre sented Nov. 13 and 14 in the College Theater. The first of the gimmick series appears today with more to fol low. Music Strains of music will float from Room 703 Nov. 17 as six music stu dents present a Schumann Recital. Kathleen Huhmann will open the St uScrapinciS Dears, your Auntie has been bitten by the desire to write about a hero of the Old West (or maybe she was bitten by some varmit hidin' out in this coon-skin cap she's wearing.) Anyways, somethin' bit 'er All this carryin' on is about that prototype of the jet plane, the pony express rider a 125-pound, 125-per- month, non-guzzlin', non-cussion', two-gunned, Bible-totin', horn-blowin' mailman what didn't have flat feet. He and 80 others like him shot along the 1,996-mile trail from San Francisco to St. Joe in eight days in spite of Indians, road agents, and the hard sell of used horse dealers. Mail was 5 a half ounce. Think of that the next time you give Lincoln a lickin'. This battered, exhausted, sched ule-conscious rider has become one of the great legends of our country. The most amazing part of it is that he did it in the 83 weeks that the Pony Express existed. Why did it die so young? No guzzlin' and no cussin' . . . Somebody who knows told your old Auntie .that when Kennedy was nominated a puff of smoke went up from the Merchandise Mart. How about that ... In case someone asks you, this is the difference between a cynic and a stoic: A cynic is in the kitchen, and a stoic brings babies . . . Matching movie marquees is a hobby of Leo Flanagan, bon-vivant, racconteur, etc. In his recent studies he came up with one just as good as the marquee that read MOTHER WORE TIGHTS * * ALSO SELECTED SHORTS. One man about town reports that the ones he saw advertising Elmer Gantry read ELMER GANTRY FOR ADULTS ONLY * * ELMER GANTRY CHILDREN UNDER TWELVE AD MITTED FREE . . . The Floating Newsmonger and Busybody Association came up with the nastiest news of its career while carrying on secret listening activities in the Union the other day. At first your mercenary Auntie saw only the business side of the information, but since the fraternity is broke and can't pay off Auntie tells the world. It seems this certain fraternity has developed a girl-rating system. It consists of a bell, placed on their table, a bell-ringer and a few flexible rules which can be applied whenever a girl passes their Union stronghold. Code Crackers' Handbook tells us that one bell means a girl, two bells a sharp girl, three bells a sharp girl with black stockings, four bells WOW , five bells a member of a rival fraternity . . . The sign in the front window of a cleaner's near Auntie's old homestead reads: If you think old soldiers fade away, just try on your old uniform . . . Last week Carole Schremp waited on a woman who wished to have a purchase put on her charge account. When Carole said, May I have your plate? , the woman grinned, Upper or lower? . . . Auntie predicts that three days after the presidential elections all the banks in the nation will be closed, and soldiers will be marching through our streets ... Do you trust your grandmother? program, speaking about the style of Schumann's composition. Patricia Sloper, Carol Bellamy, Loretta Cahill, Jo Ann Miks and Con stance Donahue will give piano inter pretations of various Schumann works. Sociology Field trips and a lecture will high light the calendar of coming events of the sociology department. A trip to the Little Sisters of the Poor was planned for Oct. 26 and a trip to St. Vincent's Maternity Hospital, Nov. 14. Marilyn Campbell, a Mundelein graduate, will give a lecture to the members of the sociology department on the medical services of the De partment of Public Welfare, Nov. 4. Press Club The guest speaker for the Press Club party Nov. 3 will be Marguerite Phillips '58, former co-editor of the Skysoraper. At the party which will be held at 4:10 in Room 405, Miss Phillips will speak of her current journalist interests as assistant edi tor of the Skokie News. Filmed Lectures Feature Nobel Winning Speakers A series of filmed genetics lectures featuring three Nobel prize-winning scientists are being added to the cur riculum of the science department. Jointly purchased by Mundelein, Loy ola, DePaul and St. Procopius, the 48 movies will be stored at the Loyola library and are available to depart ments of the four colleges upon re quest. Filmed with financial assistance from a Ford Foundation grant, the lectures include talks by 15 geneti cists. Among the prominent speakers are: Dr. D. W. Beade, Nobel prize winner in the area of chemical genetics, Dr. J. Lederburg, Nobel prize winner with his discoveries in genetic recombi nation and organization of genetic ma terial of bacteria, and Dr. H. J. Mul- ler, Nobel prize winner for proving abilities of X-rays to produce muta tions. Matt Wheeler Loyola Senior Some girls have a rudimentary knowledge of football, baseball, bas ketball and the like. But most girls are interested in a sport because they cheer for a certain team or know the players socially. Girls aren't con cerned with the technical aspects of sports. This is okay why change it? If I took a girl to a basketball game and she knew nothing about the sport, I'd be flattered if she asked me what was going on. On the other hand, if a girl dates a fellow who lacks athletic know-how, she shouldn't flaunt her superior knowledge; this would destroy friendly terms. Swimming, dancing, physical educa tion and dynamic tension exercises will help a girl toward better figure, pos ture and poise. But no boy wants girls to resemble female Russian shot- putters; 115-125 pounds of twisted steel will do just as well. Tom Ward Loyola Freshman Girls go to sports events to meet fellows, and I'm all for it. Seriously though, I must admit they under stand fundamentals rather well. I hope no girl pulls a trick like my sister did last summer. She had a date for a Cub game. Right in the middle she made the fellow Ll. . take her home be cause she was getting sun burned. It hap pened to be Don Cardwell's no-hit ter They still date, but they steer clear of baseball. Basketball is the big sport at Loyola and the best way for Mundelein girls to find out about the game is to par ticipate in intramurals. Besides, it might be a good means of breaking up the monotony of the Union Paul Hoernig Loyola Junior It is my conviction that girls should know everything .there is to know about football, basketball and baseball so that when I take one to a game I can ask her any thing I want ,to know. Some girls are so naive that they don't realize the answers they receive to their queries are gener ally way far out in left field. Boys will tell girls any thing just to make them think they know all there is to know. As far as being beaten by a girl goes, I haven't minded yet If a girl is better in a sport than I am, she's better. The way women are so in volved in business and politics today, they'll probably be playing tackle for the Bears or catcher for the Sox in a few years anyhow. I don't really care how athletic a girl is, but lady wres tler and Judo black belts don't appeal to me. Tom Coffey Loyola Senior. Every girl should have a general knowledge of the major spectator sports. It's a necessity for conversa tion and for one's own satisfaction. It can be very irritating when your date keeps tugging at your sleeve asking foolish questions about the game when it's in process. It's equally irri tating when some female near you is asking ques tions all the time. Some boys' egos are bolstered when they can answer every question a girl asks. I like watching the game, not answering questions. When playing table tennis or some similar sport, I like a girl to play her best and not give away points so she won't defeat her male opponent. If I'm beaten by a girl, I'll keep dating her until I finally beat her. In this same line, I think girls should be able to play golf, tennis and similar sports. It stimulates circulation and keeps the figure slim. Athletic prowess or skill in a particular sport doesn't detract from a woman's femininity, but I don't think it should be her ideal. Many domestic ideals are more important. Lay Apostles Speak In Theology Classes One of the most popular techniques for introducing students to informa tion supplementing textbook data is being provided by Father Clark for his theology classes. In order to provide a more compre hensive view of the lay apostolate in action, Father invites prominent lead ers to relate their views and experi ences. Recent visitors to Father Clark's classes have included Monsignor Rey nold Hillenbrand, national chaplain of the CFM, YCW and YCS Movements, who spoke on The Lay Apostolate. Father John Banahan, who is in charge of the Catholic programming in the diocese, spoke on The Apostolate of Television and Radio. On Nov. 21, the Reverend James Kil- gallen, author of Life in Christ, will discuss How To Teach Religion. Father Kilgallen's book has received excellent national reviews and has sold 200,000 copies to date. He taught at the major seminary at Mundelein for seven years and is currently the assist ant pastor at Annunciation Parish. Some time after exams, guests will be Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Crowley, na tional secretary-couple of the Chris tian Family Movement, speaking on The Layman's Part in the World. The Crowleys recently completed a world tour promoting CFM. DADS DELIGHT in dinner dates with daughters at the buffet-supper dance Oct. 23.
