Eloise Thomas, senior economics ma jor, spoke on Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and Capitalism, at the Nov. 12 meeting of Nu Theta Epsilon. Moderns, Masters Presented in New Program Five Dances Is Theme Of Wednesday Musicale The Music department has become terpsichorean-minded. At least that is the impression one would receive from discovering five dances on the Wednesday Musicale program for Nov. 20. Patricia Padden will open the piogram with Beethoven's humorous Country Dance No. 1, depicting the awkward joy of the peasant Jacqueline Shay will play one of Bach's sprightly Gavottes, this one from the fifth French Suite. Irma Voller will play the vibrant Danse Negre by Scott. Cecile Chani- inadc wrote a Dance in the Ancient Style which Grace Dvorak will play. And Joan Duris will play Albeniz Sequidilla, a dance in the Spanish idiom. Joining in this gaiety are Margaret Garner who will play Toch's The Jug gler, and Lillian Loguedice, who will interpret Lecuona's Gitanerias. In a quieter mood will be Angelina Trafalcante, who will play Bird of Para dise at the Waterfall, by Niemann. Joanne Keenan will perform the Trois ezcossaises, Op. 72, No. 3 by Chopin. Rachmaninoff's Preludes have always made popular concert numbers, and Doro thy Kraman is playing his Prelude in E flat. . Irene Woronoff will play three move ments of the short sonata in D major by Haydn. This sonata has an especially in teresting second piano arrangement. El oise Thomas is going to play The Island Spill, by John Ireland. Beethoven was attempting to portray Shakespeare's Tempest when he wrote the Sonata in D Minor. Op. 31, No. 2. It is a work more of whimsy than of depth, which is rather unusual for Bee thoven. Mary Wood Stussy will play the first movement. Round Table Reviews Catholic Literature To demonstrate that Catholic literature can occupy a major position in the best seller circle, the English Round Table will present reviews of three recent books at the meeting on Nov. 21 at 4 p.m. Grace Foran will discuss Graham Greene's The Power and The Glory; Mary O'Malley will discuss the Keeper of the Keys by Thomas McDcrmott, and Dolores Corcoran will discuss Rumcr Godden's The River.

Student Attendants Take Charge in New Rest Room An important part in Mundelein's newly established health program is the attractive Rest Room. Brightly painted pink and green, the room, located off the gymnasium, is equipped with eight new cots and screens with an attendant in charge every hour of the day. The attendants are students who have had Nurse's Aide training or who hold Home Nursing certificates. These stu dents take temperature and pulse reading and fill out a record card for each stu dent who comes to the Rest Room. In charge of the room are Marian Hughes, sophomore, together with man agers Patricia Broderick, senior, Aphro dite Diacos, junior, and Eileen Dolan, sophomore. Lorraine Niski, Red Cross Home Nursing chairman, is in charge of re cruiting more students to be attendants. Biology Club Visits Natural History Museum The Biology club and the comparative anatomy class participated in a field trip to the Hall of Vertebrates in the Museum of Natural History on Nov. 11.

Board of Trade Is Scene for Economics Visit In connection with their recent project of reading and understanding the finan cial pages of newspapers, a group of economics students visited the Chicago Board of Trade, on Nov. 1. From the visitors' gallery, they watched the members of the Board in action as they bought and sold stocks in the wheat, oats, soya bean, and corn pits. They were then conducted to the min iature grain elevator which is an exact reproduction of the elevators used to measure the country's grain, and were given a demonstration. Frank Bisson, director of publicity on the Board of Trade, later gave a brief talk on the history of the organization and answered questions of the students regarding business trends and the eco nomic status of the United States at the present time. What Ljoes, Jn . . . -THANKSGIVING: America's own * holiday, comes for the second time since the war's end. Prayers of thanks are offered by all men of all religions as they ask guidance in establishing lasting peace. IV/IUNDELEIN takes its beginning AV* steps in realizing its role in the establishment of an international moral law by requesting membership in the NFCCS. y/EDDING bells for Mary Mauser '43, rang out in romantic Mexico City when she became the bride of Guillermo de Pahissa Catala last month, in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Gua- dclupe. Bridesmaids wearing lacy mantillas stood in attendance, and candle-light glowed on the beautiful canvas of the Virgin of Guadelupe as it back-dropped the Spanish-styled wedding officiated at by the Bishop of Tampico. Mrs. de Pahissa writes of visiting hun dreds of old churches and missions throughout Mexico, and describes the amazing difference between homelife in Mexico and homelife here. The Mexi can business hours, she declares, are scheduled to fit mealtimes because breakfast is always at 8 a.m., dinner is from 2 to 4 in the afternoon, and a light supper is served at 9 p.m THERE comes a time in every stu- dent's life when thoughts of quarterly exams become all-absorbing and effect a bad case of absent-mindedness. Such was the plight of a junior, who wishes to remain anonymous. A de bate poster in one hand and a letter in the other, she planned to tack up the former and mail the latter. Only when she found difficulty in trying to push the poster into the mailbox did she realize her mistake And except for the SKYSCRAPER staff, she remains, an onymously yours. A DD to your list of engagements two ** more names: Jayne Bush, solitary senior, who displays her solitaire, re ceived from Robert Schuetz, and Julia Tuohy, sophomore, who is engaged to Robert Hccht. Alumnae Promote Foundation Fund Mary O'Callahan Schreiber '36, president of the Alumnae association, and Katherine Brennan O'Neil '34, chairman of the Foundation Fund committee, explain to Patricia O'Grady, freshman president, and Jeanne Smith, junior presi dent, plans which the Alumnae have made for a long term campaign to raise funds for a new arts and recreation build ing.
