A report of human rights was approved, giving the Catholic students a public stand on basic rights and social justice. NSA Discusses Red Student Groups NSA members hold their initial meeting Oct. 9, at 3 p.m. in Room 402. All students are invited to attend. The con troversial topic of discussion will be NSA's Relations with Communists Stu dent Groups. This subject, because of differing opin ions of students, was held in dispute at NSA's fifth convention, at the Univer sity of Indiana, in August. During the summer, Mary Nikias, Bar bara Baynes, Dorothy Hertl, and Florence Clarke continued working towards friend ly relations with students of other coun ties. They entertained 20 delegates from Switzerland, showing them some of Chi cago's highlights, such as the Tribune Tower, the General Electric company, and a day of fun and pkknicking at Starved Rock. Cokes and Cases Openl Welcome Freshmen Pledges The question, Resolved: all freshmen should be welcomed to Delta Sigma Rho, encountering no opposition, was accepted in the affirmative by all debaters at the freshmen pledge coke and cookie party, Sept. 24.

The national collegiate topic for the year is Resolved: That the Congress of the United States Should Enact a Compulsory Fair Employment Practices Law.

Celebrity Comes To Class Publications, Alumna, Receive National Acclaim The Review, campus literary publica tion, and The Skyscraper merited All- Catholic Honors in a nationwide survey and rating conducted during the summer by the Catholic School Press association.

For the second consecutive year, a Mun delein student won the Editorial award in the writing contest sponsored by the CSPA. Barbara Bidwell '52 took the prize for an editorial titled Seek Security in Con templation published in the special Re treat issue of the paper in January. College Receives Research Qrant (Continued from Page 1, Col. 1) Sister Mary Therese, who holds a doc torate in astronomy from Georgetown uni versity and who has spent the summers of 1951 and 1952 in astronomical research at the Mt. Wilson-Palomar observatory in Pasadena, California, has had experi ence at the University of Michigan in spectroscopic analysis both in the visible region and in X-ray diffraction work. SAC Speaks Up Summer is almost forgot, but the assistance given the SAC in preparing for the Big Sister party and other Wel come Freshmen events is well remem bered. To all students who gave gen erously of their summertime, the SAC is deeply grateful. * * Circle Oct. 10, the date for the first intercollegiate Mixer. One of the chief advantages of a mixer early in the year is that examination and compre- Columbus Came, Will You? hensive shadows have not yet cast their darkness over bright personalities. So you are invited, and so are students from all the local colleges. * * One cannot go far in the corridors or lounge these days without hearing or seeing the words La Traviata. Now stop and think is this due to any ef fort of yours? If not, it should be. The opera ben efit is student-sponsored and there are approximately 800 students. About 40 have volunteered their services at Opera headquarters on the mezzanine. That means that about 760 have done nothing. Sponsorship does not mean that one affixes her name to a list and then does nothing. It means, rather, that she re solves to interest her friends in the benefit, to sell tickets for it, to se cure patrons and advertisements for the program. It means that she reports for service for at least an hour or two each week. And it also means that on the evening of Nov. 13 she will share the glowing satisfaction of those who enjoy the opera plus the knowledge that, thanks to them, it is a successful Mundelein benefit. Making plans for the First All-College Mixer of the year, to be held in the gymnasium, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m., Anne Carr and Noreen Galvin, freshmen, and Loyolans Bill Siebert and Jimmy Healy. (Story on Page 1.) Science Teachers Meet at Mundelein Approximately 130 delegates attended the forty-fifth meeting of the Chicago Catholic Science Teacher association, held here Sept. 20.

Charles Correll, famous as Andy in the Amos and Andy radio show, poses with Mrs. Correll, left, Geraldine O'Keefe, and Monica Brodbeck during his visit to the Radio Acting class, Sept. 16. Dads Make Date With Daughters Fathers came to school Friday night, but they didn't come in quest of book knowledge. They came, escorted by their daughters, to attend the second annual Father-Daughter night. The first Father-Daughter night, held in April of last year, was so successful that the Fathers organized themselves into a club, with officers, meetings, and a genuine desire to be of service to the Col lege. Sister Mary John Michael, B.V.M., President of the College, welcomed the guests, and Mr. S. E. McCarthy, father of Valerie' '52, presided at the meeting. Mr. R. A. Neff, father of Senior Loret ta, explained the Membership plan, and students in Music and Drama presented the program. Refreshments were served in the tea room, and students again proved that Like Father, Like Daughter is as good a phrase as Like Father, Like Son.

Miss Sabine Heller, who holds a Master of Science degree from Pur due university where she has done ad vanced work, returns to the Chemis try department after a year as trans lator in the chemical division of an oil company research laboratory.
