Head of Physics Department Opens Popular New Series Astronomy is a true science; as trology is a pseudo-science, declared Sister Mary Thercse, B.V.M., head of tlu- physics department, on Nov. 18, in the first of a series of lectures on popu lar aspects of modern science. Entitled Astrology Why Not, Sister Mary Therese's lecture traced the his tory of astrology, pointing out that it has flourished both in periods of high scientific development and in periods when religion and philosophy were in eclipse. Cites Superstition Insisting that, although many astrolo gers are, as individuals, sincere, as trology itself is based on mere super stition, Sister observed that few things are more demoralizing than yielding to the tyranny of superstition, a moral and intellectual corrosive which destroys the will and undermines the character, bringing defeat and ruin to a people who place in it their faith and their hopes for success. The Catholic Church, Sister con tinued, condemns astrology as a pagan superstition which, by encouraging fatalism, leads to a denial of Divine Providence. Insists on Free Will In conclusion, Sister Mary Therese stressed the stability which arises from the Catholic belief in free will as op posed to the doctrine of predestination upon which astrology is built. Americans, Sister declared, know no lucky stars: all of them are born under the lucky Stars and Stripes. The second lecture in the Popular Science series will be entitled Uncle Sam Is Using Geologists in Many Ways. The date will be announced later.

John McKian Is New Debate Coach John McKian, Ph.D., member of the faculty at Loyola university, has taken over the duties of debate coach at Mundelein, since Fred L. Brand- strater, former coach at both Loyola and Mundelein, has accepted a posi tion in the Government Office of Alien Registration. Outlining American political and economic progress during the past dec ade, Dr. Paul V. Kiniery, assistant dean of the Loyola Graduate school, in a lec ture to the student body yesterday, discussed problems of unemployment and labor relations and of balanced incomes. These problems arc lessened some what by war, but will loom again in the reconstruction period, Dr. Kiniery remarked. He expressed a hope that all young women will complete college educations begun, for the burden of re construction will fall to well-educated and intelligent, cultured women. In an interview following his lecture, Dr. Kiniery remarked in detail upon the problems the post war period will pre sent, and pointed out, in parallel, the significant mistakes made following World War I, notably in demobilization and in toning down the industrial out put to a peace time level. Organists Kindle Christmas Spirit Bringing pleasant visions of holly and gaily lighted evergreens,' tinsel and bright red candles, will be members of the Organ Guild who, in their concert on Dec. 1, will present a program of traditional hymns and carols that belong to the Christmas season. The First Noel, Adeste Fidelis, Yule- tide Echoes, Music Box medley, Jesu Bambino, and the March of the Magi are selections with which the organists will strike notes of anticipation of the coining holidays. Students taking part in the concert are Mary Frances Paddcn, Rosemarie Mascari, Loretta Gburcyzk, Rita Rath- slag, Shirley Irwin, Gloria Rassenfoss, Mary Louise Gulick, Rosemary Faulkes. Barbara Ann Frick. Betty Ann Yunker, Mary Elizabeth Wolfe, Beverly Craggs, and Bonnie Turner. In designating the conditions which justify war, the Reverend A. J. Kelly. S.J., speaking at the Mu Nu Sigma meeting last Tuesday on The Ethics of War, pointed out that legitimate authority, just cause, right intention, and reasonable hope of success are imperative. The just cause. Father continued, is a defense of natural rights, and. for these an offensive or defensive war may be waged. Inherent in all men and nations, he insisted, is the right of self defense. Catholics regard the right to resist unjust aggression by force a natural right and duty. Moreover, Father continued, men should never rest in the crusade for peace against the forces of barbarism in the world. Peace should be based on reason and not on sentimentality. Father Kelly, professor of philosophy, was introduced by Florence McDonnell, president of Mu Nu Sigma. China at War Is Discussion Topic Japan is an eastern frontier that has contacted a n d employed western methods to its own advantage, while the old China remained the hinterland serv ing the west, agreed members of the International Relations club, discussing China at War, at their initial meeting on Nov. 12.

The new China reorganized eco nomically, politically, and socially is the beginning of a world power, stated one speaker.
