Polish With Small P Is Key To Many Doors Polish is a six-letter word represen ting a number of things. You can put it on your car, your floor, or your nails. And, if you capitalize it, you can put it in your history book. But that's not all. In addition, it comes complete with instruc tions on smoothing out personal ity wrinkles and gliding through rough situations. In short, you don't need a bottle of Johnson's Glo-Coat to shine. Amy and Emily have a few thous and well-chosen words to say on a re lated subject. As we were recently re minded, everything is not in the books, but they do help. You may not know what form to use when you sign your private secre tary's name to a hotel register, or how- wide the black band on a mourning- card should be. You may not even know how to in troduce the Ambassador of Siam to the King of the Mau Mau's. And you may never have to know. But what about your open house last year when the alderman wanted to meet your pastor? We mean the time you suddenly lost your voice and mumbled something neither could un derstand. And what about the fancy din ner you attended when the table was set with umpteen pieces of silver? Did you sit and wait to see what Sally Smith was doing? Or did you unerringly select the correct forks and spoons and knives? Like Marines, we must always be ready for every situation. If we are not, our most wonderful ideas and words may be lost in the frustration of social insecurity. Now is the time. Read, watch and practice. Poise, polish, etiquette no matter what you call it, if you have it, you have one foot in the door to anywhere. Week Moments .

When we come face to face with a misrepresentation of truth or lack of taste we can recognize it as such. But we are not always sure just what to do about it if anything. Con demnation without action is the lazy and at the same time unfruitful way out. Although Ave are not always aware of the fact, the world is ours and we can change it. There are few of us who have not at one time or another read an article which contradicted our principles. We've all seen movie or television shows and thought, Does her neckline have to plunge that far? or Is that word really necessary? We may toss the magazine aside unless, of course, it contains another article of more acceptable interest. We may possibly flip the television dial to a more family-type station. But I'm afraid we'd find walking out of a movie house a bit absurd. An audience seldom realizes its own importance. Without an audience, the show could not go on. For this reason, editors and program directors value public opinion highly. No organization or individual will spend money sponsoring or publish ing material which is not being accepted by the public. Rather, they bend over backwards to satisfy the almighty John Q. There is a positive side as well to this phase of the lay apostolate. Com plimentary letters must not be underestimated. Not only do they say, Well done. Let's have more of same. They help drown out voices of the ever- present opposition. And constructive criticism is the most valuable kind of criticism. Any student who has written a let ter to a State Street store to congrat ulate it on its fine Christmas windows or to complain about the discourtesy of salesclerks was probably amazed at the attention her letter received. Replies to such letters are prompt, courteous, and keyed to the writer's particular comments. They provide even a temporal reward for a minimum of effort. Try them sometime Divertissement . . . Vacation At Home, Save Travel Time Want to get away from it all ? Why not take a trip vicariously to the Or ient, the Alps, or Paris? Or if you're a realist, try the Chicago stadium. For those who like the Oriental scene, Teahouse of the August Moon, starring Burgess Meredith and Scott McKay, will provide an evening of delightful entertainment. Teahouse is a clever spoof on Army protocol, psychiatry, and business, based on John Patrick's famous adap tation of Vern Bailey's book about American occupation forces in Oki nawa. The comedy is now playing at the Erlanger theatre. Cinerama Holiday takes you on two vacations, one American, one European. The enchanted viewer skims over the Alps in a bobsled, or on skiis, visits the famous Guignol puppet theatre for children in Paris, goes to a county fair in New England, and even rides in a jet plane. The film is so realistic you will prob ably forget you are sitting in the Palace theatre. For the homebodies who choose the Chicago stadium, Shipstads and Johnson bring their twentieth-anni versary edition of the Ice Follies. The revue, which open Oct. 18, stars Rich ard Dwyer, who visited Mundelein during his Chicago appearance last year. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra can supply wings of song as your transportation on these imaginary ex cursions. It began its sixty-fifth season recently with Fritz Reiner as musical director for the third consecutive year. The usual Thursday, Friday, and Sat urday concerts take place in Orches tra Hall.

Student View . . . French Crisis Need Not Imperil United Nations On October 29, 1949, a monumental cornerstone was laid along the East River in New York City. It embodied the hopes of a world that had almost denied the existence of hope war had ravaged too many of her cities, hate had killed too many of her sons. Was peace really accessible, the new United Nations Organization asked? Would nations ever each the point where they would sac rifice individual ambition and power for the sake of universal peace and order? Would man ever learn how to live with man? On October 29, 1949, the world be lieved she had found an answer. A building was dedicated, a beautiful modern structure housing the United Nations which had pledged itself to maintaininternational peace and se curity, develop friendly relations be tween states, and achieve cooperation in solving international economic, so cial, cultural, and humanitarian prob lems. One police action and countless dis putes later, in October 1955, the world sits back and still wonders, Will man ever learn how to live with man? The United Nations? It still func tions it still tries in fact it may well have proved something. Effective in ternational organizations may rise only from the altar on which national ambitions have been sacrificed. There have been many manifesta tions of this in the 10-year his tory of the United Nations. The most recent episode is barely two weeks old. In retaliation for the UN's decision to discuss the Algerian question, France recalled her envoys from the General Assembly but retained her seat in the Security Council. Not willing to give up her po sition as a colonial overlord, or even to have that position de bated, France wages a Moroccan war, while the organization dedi cated to international peace and security sits back wondering if this may not be the first step on the way to her disastrous end. Not too many years ago another global organization dedicated to peace heard its death knell in the sound of marching feet the marching feet of envoys as country after country walked out of the League of Nations. Has France dealt a lethal blow to the U.N.? No The United Nations will go right on talking and trying to live up to its noble ideals. And nations may go right on settling their own differ ences whether it be by war or arbitra tion but they will be conscious of the fact that public opinion is being forged on the UN floors. The thirst for more land, more prestige, more trade seems at the moment to have obliterated one country's memories of the last decade's concentration camps, bombed cities, and maimed bod ies. France apparently has not learned war's lesson but perhaps world opin ion echoing over the UN Assembly may yet drive the lesson home.
