As chairman of the discussion, Peggy Schweisthal propounded the questions to the panel of experts : Lorraine Fratini and Roberta Scheid, who spe cialized in the war on the diplomatic front; Ruth O'Hearn and Myrna La mont, who knew the war on the sea; and Mary Burnikel and Altine Kelli- hcr, whose special interest was the war on land. Visit Steel Plant The Physical Section of the Science Forum toured the Carnegie-Illinois steel plant, Dec. 8, as the guests of the Chem istry club of Loyola university. The Physical Science group recently elected Eleanor Landon, chairman, and Lavinia Cole and Irene Weber, Forum representatives. Give Command Performance See yourselves as others see you, was the edict contained in the invitation to the Laetare Players tea, Dec. 1. Pat ricia O'Toole, president, welcomed 28 new members. As their pledge duty, they enacted a command performance of Lady Precious Stream, in which the dashing Captain Haieh-Ping-Kuei wooed a quaint Irish Manchu. Promote Good Will Argumentation was forgot as the De bate club strove to promote good will among nations al its Christmas party Dec. 13. The tea was arranged by Peg gy Meade, Barbara Ohab, Helen Jane Dessero, Genevieve Dieter, Dolores Sus- ral, Ruth Mader, and Inez Thomas. Hear Gospel Story Guests at the English Round Table Tea, Dec. 14, divided their time between singing carols and admiring the center piece, a little candy Santa Claus clamb ering into a cake chimney. Patricia O'Toole read the story of the Nativity from St. Luke's Gospel, and Betty Shan- ahan read a dramatic selection entitled Long, Long Ago. Mu Xu Sigma, the Mundelein Neo- Scholastic society, attests its devotion to its patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, in the membership pins distributed this week. The pins, gold keys bearing the black and white shield of St. Thomas, with the word Veritas, and the name of the club, were awarded to 31 members. Entertain Majors Senior sociology majors were enter tained at tea in the model apartment Dec. 11 by Mary Mackey and Betty Ves tal. Guests were Dr. Miriam L. Rooney, Miss Maura Rooney, Dr. G. M. Schmeing, and Dr. C. J. Wittier. Sing in Spanish Initiated last year by Peggy Schweis thal, as a project for pledges, the Spanish chorus, now an integral part of the Span ish club, is concentrating at present on the more popular folk songs. Miss Schweisthal, informal director of the organization, mentions Fray Felipe, La Golondrina, and La Paloma as old favorites, with Alia en el Rancho Grande a concession to modernity. The group, which meets for practice every Wednesday in room 711, plan a vocal adaptation to the coming season. Tumbrills Roll Today 30 Les D'Arciennes pledges will stand trial in the Bastille, Room 308. as judge and jury ponder their eligibility for membership. Tumbrills will roll again and fortunes rise or fall while this memorable court is in session. Etching Exhibit Arouses Interest In Art Technique The 19 hard and soft ground etch ings, dry points, and aquatints done by Margaret Marie Miller, art instruc tor at Ohio Wesleyan university, which are on exhibit on the eighth floor, have aroused so much interest among the students that Sister Mary Carmelyn, B.V.M., of the Art department, will give a lecture-demonstration on the tech nique of this work shortly after Christ mas. The difference between hard and soft ground etchings may be observed by comparing two of Miss Miller's works, Delta Upsilon House and Devil's Hook. While the former has the harsh, pre cise, definite lines characteristic of those made by a sharp tool on a zinc plate, the latter is softer and shows that it is the result of a pencil tech nique. Carrie Nation's Home, a dry-point, is softer still, for it is printed on a rigid plate, which, when inked, gives a fuzzy effect. Aquatints, which are made without tools, have a blocked ap pearance with all objects on the print brought out in sharp relief. Art students, who have designed their own Christmas cards and are making them with the aid of the block machine, recently visited an exhibit of works of Dom Gregoire de Wflt, at the Edge- water Beach Hotel. Catholic Psychologists Discuss Qestalt Theory Centering an interesting discussion on the much-debated topic of Gestalt psycho logy, the Chicago Society of Catholic Psychologists convened at the Morrison Hotel on Dec. 2. Sister Mary Cecile B.V.M., Sister Mary Francis Xavier, B.V.M., Dr. Miriam L. Rooney, and Dr. Dwight L. Hopkins represented the Col lege. Gestaltists hold that physical, biologi cal, and psychological events do not occur through the summation of se parate elements such as sensations or reflexes. Rather, they assert that these events occur through formed patterns or integrated units which function sing ly or in interrelations. The morning session concerned exper imental foundations, varieties, and an appraisal of the Gestalt theory. The afternoon meeting dealt with the place of experimental psychology in the lib eral arts college and with mental de ficiency in the family group. Senior Piano Major Sets Hymn to Music Ave Regina Coelorum, one of the Li turgical hymns of the Church used in the Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, has been giveii a musical setting by Catherine Keller, senior piano major, who played the organ accompaniment when the hymn was sung for the first time at the Sodality reception on Dec. 7. Father Barrett, Jesuit Writer, Talks on Poetry The Empire State of Catliolic col leges, is the poet's term for Mundelein, in the words of the Reverend Alfred Barrett, S.J., who visited the College last Friday. Editor, lecturer, teacher, poet, and chaplain of the Catholic Poetry Society of America, Father Barrett is well known for his Mint By Xight, his published collection of verse. The Jesuit writer discussed the great power of Catholic poetry, pointing out that the Catliolic poet has in theology and philosophy much to say, for while all the modern 'isms' are becoming 'wasms,' we as Catholics have the only 'wasms' that are 'isms.' But, he added, the secret of the Catholic poet is to know how to say cor rectly what he has to say. In logical form, Father Barrett stated that even such poets as Homer, Keats, and Shelley were Catholic thinkers, de spite their ignorance of Catholic truth. When Homer cried, 'Come, thou Muse.' Father Barrett declares, he was really saying 'Come Holy Ghost,' since the Holy Ghost is the only Muse who is not merely a mythological idea. In their search for an ideal, too, Father Barrett believes these these poets were seeking Christ, the prototype of the ideal. Before becoming a Jesuit, Father Bar rett drew animated cartoons for the motion pictures in the same office with Paul Terry, author of the Terrytoons. The business which brings him to Chi cago, however, is his new position as associate editor of The Sacred Heart Messenger. Organists Star In Concert; Have Christmas Party The college organists, who have brought melody to many of the holi day ceremonies during the past few- weeks, had a concert of their own last Friday, when the Organ Guild pre sented its Christmas concert in the auditorium and afterwards enjoyed a Christmas tea in the model apartment. Mary Belle Trosper opened the con cert, playing O Holy Night, by Read ing, and Angela Voller played The First Nowell, arranged by Howard. Helen Cahill played Black's arrange ment of Silent Night, and Maude Shu flitowski played Hosmcr's Christmas Postlude. Rosalie Wiora presented a Christmas Fantasy, by West, and Mary Ruth Venn played the Pastorale from the Manger Throne by Manney. Concluding numbers on the program were Christmas Offertory, by Hosmer, played by Dorothy Schreck; Adeste Fi- delis, arranged by Lemare and played by Marjorie Thomas, and Jesu Bam bino by Pietro Yon, played by Cathe rine Keller. Biologist Lectures For Science Qroup Consideration of the anthropological and herititary significance of various types of blood groups were discussed in a lec ture, given by Sister Mary St. Victor, B.V.M., chairman of the Faculty Divi sion of Natural Sciences, before members of the Biological Section of the Science Forum, on Dec. 15. After outlining the history of the dis covery of blood grouping, Sister Mary St. Victor described the characteristics of each of the four groups, their re action to each other, and the process and technique of distinguishing them. The lecture included consideration of the practical value of a knowledge of blood grouping for medicinal purposes ami for legal purposes. Tn connection with the lecture, Anne Smaza '34, zoology major who is now laboratory technician at St. Joseph's hos pital, demonstrated the method of making blood tests. Glee Club, Fine Arts Students Appear in Christmas Cantata Speaker Reviews, Condemns New Philosophy Volume I Believe represents philosophers who make a living evangelizing atheism, stated the Reverend J. Vincent Kelly, S.J., assistant dean of men at Loyola university, in a book review before Mu Xu Sigma philosophy club, on Dec. 14, in the seminar. Father Kelly outlined the history and background of the volume, which pre sents the intimate credos of modern thinkers. There is here no belief in real and lasting values, he continued, because philosophies contradictory in themselves cannot last. This publication, with the exception of Jacques Maritain's and possibly George Jean Nathan's creeds, was compiled to present a very definite, a very pagan conception of life. The trend toward social-mindedness. Father declared, goes hand in hand with the theory of a Godless religion, because the individual loses the idea of a personal God as he gains a more impersonal, ab stracted view of society. The modern pagan, Father Kelly as serted, finds in his substitute for re ligion something which his nature craves. But he does not realize that it is a sub stitute. The meeting was conducted by Mildred Murphy, club president. Open discus sion followed. Haw-ley's Christ Child Cantata, pre-, sented by the Glee club and fine arts students, was the central portion of the annual Under the Stars program, which set the theme for the Christmas holidays last Sunday night. The Orchestra, directed by Harry K. Gilman, opened the program with a Christmas overture, and the Glee club sang a series of carols, with piano and organ accompaniments by Virginia Parr and Dorothy Schreck. An organ medley, played by Angela Voller, preluded the first part of the Cantata, titled The Expectation. Solo ists in The Expectation were Virginia Eckmann, Dolores Groford, Shirley Hopper, Lois Kenny, Dorothy Brecha, Betty Lou Deppen, Mildred Martinez, Mary Gertrude Maerk, and Maude Shuflitowski. Loretta Calnan portrayed the Blessed Virgin in the first tableau, and Mar jorie Thomas portrayed the Angel Ga briel. In the second part of the Cantata, the Fulfillment, Miss Shuflitowski, Miss Hopper, and Miss Martinez were soloists; Miss Calnan appeared as the Blessed Virgin in the tableau, Holy Night, and the following students en acted other roles: Constance Zarembski portrayed St. Joseph; Grace Mannebach, Elizabeth McGurn, and Geraldine Resell were the Magi: Mildred Graham, Alice Rose Hartnett, Lucille O'Connell, and Ursula Walsh were Angels, and Mildred Greene, Rita Kloss, and Charlotte Lamb were shepherds.

Paillette Lear. Georgene McGowan, Betty Kreuzer, Laurentia Powers. Mary Celeste Shannon, Lucille Reilly. and Marjorie Thomas as Angels.
