XV MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, 40, ILLINOIS, MAY 14, 1945 No. 12 The Lights Go on Again The lights are slowly going on again in Europe, blinking on, like eyes that have long been closed, unaccustomed to brightness. The military bat tle has been won over there, at a price that has dazed the millions whose lives it has saddened. Another struggle, however, is just beginning the conquest of the darkness of pagan principles by the light of Christian Truth. And that conquest must be achieved, not only on the shattered lands of Europe, once a Christian country, but also in the pagan stronghold of Japan. From Europe, American boys who brought liberation to the continent must go to Asia, to win freedom from totalitarian tyranny, from Godless- ness and greed. V-E Day is a milestone the first hard-won step on the road to a world at peace. For V-E Day we give thanks to God. From God, we ask the strength to win the coming battle and to build a world in harmony with His design. udent Writers teceive Various Literary Awards red Noyes, Arch Ward, Don Sharkey Judge Contributions bmenting on the work of 17 young s, judges in the rive divisions of Creative Writing contest announced decisions last week.

Skyscraper Receives All-American Honors he freshmen can claim the highest ry circulation total for the first ester of the current scholastic year, the seniors have the best individual lords, their average of 15.8 books each ost tripling the freshman average of books. ITiese statistics, attained through a ary survey of non-reserve book cir- tion, arc proportionate to the nuni- of students in each class and take consideration the fact that many fcnts divide their time between the egc library and city libraries, uniors averaged 9 books each during first semester, borrowing from the fcry a total of 1,287 volumes. The homores average is 7.1 books with a lid total of 1,977. he totals of the freshmen and sen- 2,734 and 1,664 respectively, make the balance of the student body total J.670. The English department's freshman reading plan is probably responsible, the librarians believe, for the great variety of material which the class reads. Fresh men were low in allied textual material and reference books, but led in the di visions of drama, poetry, language, lit erature, fiction, and general works. In reading biographies, they rank a close second to the sophomores. Seniors lead in the circulation of tex tual and related materials, and refer ence, ranking lowest of all in fiction. The juniors lead in no particular divi sion, but held second place in circulation averages. The reserve section received the sole attention of nine juniors, who did not indulge in biographies, novels, or the other leisure books during the first sem ester. Use of the reserve book section has increased this year. Merits Top Scores for Writing, Editing, Typography According to an announcement from Associated Collegiate Press, the Sky scraper has again merited All-American Honors in a nation-wide survey and rat ing contest. Since the deadline for college maga zine entries is some weeks later than that for newspapers, the Review score- book has not yet been received. The Re view, however, has been a consistent winner of All-American honors. The Skyscraper scorebook gives the paper superior rating for coverage, bal ance, vitality, and originality in news and feature stories, and for writing, edit ing, and typography. livan, and freshman attendants will be Adele Baiocchi, Elinor Burns, Mary Ei leen Capek, Dolores Corcoran, Mary Catherine Langdon, Mary Ann Lynch, and Martha Wade.

Ensign Piatt Sends Reaction to Being Serviceman of Month In a recent letter to his sister Jeanne, Ensign James Piatt, now in the Pacific, expresses his reaction to being elected Serviceman of the Month in the recent Bond contest. Your brother, he says, has been honored beyond all verbal expression. I know you must have done it be cause, unfortunately, I don't know that many Mundelein girls. It certainly was choice to be re membered by the hometown when I feel so socially harmless in the zone of Oceanic natives. Bouquets for your loyalty to the best family since 33 A.D. It made me homesick. Thanks again and if there is any , way of letting the aggregation know- that I've been honored no end, see that it's done, please.

The questionnaire returns indicated that student reasons for avoiding college physics could all be grouped under nine classifications. Fifty-nine percent claimed that physics is tex gt; difficult.
