Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER February 21,1962 si 9 icrapinqi. ping; To paraphrase Red Buttons' Strange things are happening in the halls of ivy ... a freshman in a crowded elevator mumbling, Let's see, it rhymes with gold, represents freedom and liberty . . . ; Father Loftus crooning, La Donna Mobile; Father Clarke claiming to be the undisputed ten nis champ and taking notes for his class from Rosaria Colletti on par lor tennis. TV A VAST WASTELAND . . . Gina Lobraico, engrossed in watching television, almost missed her surprise birthday party. She refused to go to the basement to her secretly awaiting friends 'cause she didn't want to miss Ben Ca sey. The way to a man's heart? Some sophs tried out a new rec pe on the Alpha Delts. Twenty-four of them consumed no more than half the cake. Betty Crocker, anyone ? Perfect Settings Belated engagement congratula tions to Katie Allen who received a ring for Christmas from David Lammears. On the foreign scene: Laurie Rzany engaged to British salesman. Joanne Erhard and John Bergan recently became engaged in her parish church. Jill Salvaggio received an ornament for her finger from Jim Fitzgerald. Sandra Cronin and Joseph LeGault plan an Aug. 4 wedding. It's an old Chinese custom, in sisted members of Mr. Richards' Far East class who carefully re moved their shoes and placed them outside the door before the first session. Although Mrs. Gorski feels that the Twist could be injurious, she knows of a woman who lost 35 lbs. by doing housework and twisting simultaneously . . . Goodbye Vic Tanny, hello Ben Casey. (Popular fellow, I'd say.) Gerry Conick had one of those days two weeks ago when she not only spent the whole day gather ing information on the wrong per son for Integration but also read the wrong book (600 pp.) for Comps. Most dreaded sights in the morn ing: 14 inches of snow on the ground; the yellow horse blocking the parking lot entrance; and at 9:11, the menu blocking the path way to warmth which is sought in the form of one cup of coffee; mon strous purses, which always seem to hit directly in the third rib, left side; a glance in the mirror. For the annual Terrapin Show, all equipment must be tested. So, last week, Carol Calderon was tied with a rope and thrown into the pool to see whether or not she would sink. Is it that their juke box is nicer than ours or could there be another reason for Elaine Turco's sudden attraction to the Union? Bonita Bajerski received one of her smallest letters this week eight pages of amorous poetry in spired by the sea. Good luck to the Math Club in its upcoming tournament and to the participants also. See you in the Smoker at 2 p.m., we can try decreasing our physical substance by indulging in the dance fad. An ounce a day will bring the boys our way motto. By for now, Tee Pee P.S. Aren't the Loyola men allowed to go out after 2 p.m.? Ever since a certain ruling was passed, their number has steadily decreased. Twisters Hit College by Pat Krochmal TERRAPINS TRAIN under the watchful eye of Jackie Koss, president of the swimmers' club. The annual water show will be presented March 4, 5 and 6 in the newly decorated swimming pool. Terrapins To Pursue History in Depths Travel through history from the romping dolls of the Roaring '20s, through an era of gladiators, to the prehistoric man with Munde lein Terrapin Club. The annual swim show in the College's newly decorated pool will be held March 4, 5 and 6 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is 1. To accommodate the many sis ter-students at Mundelein, the Ter rapins are scheduling a special per formance March 6 at 1 p.m. The theme, Time on My Hands, depicts different eras of history plus a glimpse into the future, in cluding a peek at cave men, the Age of Miracles, the Egyptians, the Gay '90s and a solo performance by show chairman Jackie Koss en titled The Present. Club members have chosen Jac kie Koss and Carol Calderon as stu dent directors. Mary Ellen Spain will write and narrate the script. The crew, ur.K* tLe-direction of Frances Pappalardo, technical ad visor, includes Judy Mills, Bobbie Hewlett, Sylvia Stadtherr and Adri enne Spohn. All costumes will be designed and sewn by individual performers. The Terrapin Club was organized in 1931 as a chapter of the national honor society of the same name. Teacher To Lecture, Write At South American University Sister Mary Crescentia, B.V.M., professor of history, has accepted an invitation to lecture during the coming year at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. During her stay, Sister will also do research at the national archives in the South American countries. Nineteenth Century Brazil and the Role of the Church in the Brazilian Empire are the topics Sister will discuss in student semi nars at the University. Her schedule will be similar to a graduate program and will give her ample time to do research for the second volume of her book, The Church and Freemasonry in Bra zil, 1872-1875, published as a doc toral thesis in 1948. Since the new semester at the University doesn't begin until the middle of March, Sister will visit Rio de Janeiro and commence her research before arriving in Sao Paulo. Although classes at the Univer sity will be conducted in English, Sister expects students to ask ques tions in their native tongue. The history professor reads Portuguese and has even done research from a book written in that language. She believes that fluency in speech will come from using Portugese in a practical, everyday manner. The duration of Sister's stay in Brazil is one year. Before return ing home, however, she will visit Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and other republics in Central America. Sis ter Mary Crescentia holds a Ph.D. from the Catholic University of America and studied at the Univer sity of Fribourg in Switzerland. German Students Receive Book Set Contributing another gift from the Martin Behaim Society, Kurt Schleucher recently sent Munde lein's German department copies of an almanac composed by Wolfgang Goethe, famous German poet of the 18th Century. The set of books, following a similar donation last fall, will ac quaint the students with German fine arts as mastered by Goethe. The book, Mit Goethe durch das Jahr, contains a daily quotation or expression from the philosophies of Goethe which he began in Stras- burg. Adjoining pages contain various types of art work styled by the poet, composer and statesman. For all the books received, in cluding distinctive publications re ceived by Miss Wolfskehl, the in structor, the students sent the di rector of the society Mundelein book ends in gratitude for his interest and generosity. A new epidemic has broken out at Mundelein. Uncountable num bers have been infected as fever rages in high contagion from stu dent to student. The stricken seem apparently normal when suddenly their bodies are thrown into writhing agony, Don't Sip H20 Mighty oaks from little acorns grow is the motto of Sister Mary Julietta, B.V.M., director of the bookstore, who has already acquired a 50-cup coffee urn by redeeming her collection of Hills Brothers cof fee-can keys and labels. The urn will be used for school activities and parties, says Sister, and a big 'thank you' is in order to all the generous coffee drinkers. However, Sister is also patroniz ing all the Cola fans in her latest effort to collect Pepsi caps. These can be redeemed at one-third of a cent per cap or approximately 48 cents per pound. The money will be used to furnish the new snack room in the dormitory. Sister is also collecting redeema ble stamps of any kind to add to this fund. This will give the non- coffee and non-cola drinkers a chance to help the cause.

The victims are seized with twitching convul sions as alternate contraction and relaxation of the muscles heave the body unmercifully from side to side. This seizure, known as Twis- tentia Praecox, is thought to be ac tivated by an abnormal pounding rhythm commonly found in the Phoenix Room. As the RH factor of the Rhesus monkey brought world-wide fame to Rhesus, Twistentia Praecox has c.used the Mundelein students in the Phoenix Room to become the center of attraction for the learned authorities from Loyola. Diagnosis upon diagnosis has been offered. One specialist even offered to fi nance further research by tossing pennies. In the more advanced stages, a delirium toward the doctors often sets in. Victims feel the apathy of their affliction causes them to evoke pity and attention. But the stricken should remember that as in Ben Casey, it is the disease and not the patient that the physician is interested in. While many of the Loyola med students are researching the proj ect by observation, several have tried the When-in-Rome method and have fallen prey to the infec tious disease themselves. Then pa tients and physicians alike throb about in spasms that not even Pep- permentius inoculations can remedy. Unless a cure is found quickly, entire classes may suffer untold misery as the disorder spreads around the school. Everyone's help Is urgently hceued. When youi iep- resentative calls on you, please contribute generously to the March of Twistentia. The mind you save may be your own. Freshmen Fete Sisters Merci, ma soeur is both the French name and theme of this year's Big Sister-Little Sister party to be held Tuesday, Feb. 27, in Room 405. The freshmen will show their ap preciation for the help they have received from their big sisters by serving refreshments at the infor mal party which begins at 1:10 p.m. Committee chairmen for this year's get together include: Mary Lou Prichard, Virginia Bishop and Jean Campbell.
