SKYSCRAPER Page Three S Ru5crapina Once upon a time when Munde lein was just a girl, Skyscrapings looked like this: A BALLAD (With apologies to Sir Patrick Spens) A maid sate in her bower Thinking darke and deepe, Oh whaus will I get glide grade points ? Oh. fain, fain wad I weepe. The term end fast approacheth, And I wad graduate, So I must gather credit Ere yet it is too late. The deane has writ a letter And signed it wi' her hand, And sent it to the maiden, The saddest in the land. Oh, wha has clone this ill deed, This ill deed done to me, To give me E's this time of year? And the tear blinded her ee. Then up and spoke her comrade, Sate at the maid's right knee, Oh, a text book is the best rede That I can give to ye. So she has oped her text book. Let's hope she's not too late, Or F on her report card Will surely be her fate. ' * * * The professor of Church history has prescribed a Diet of Worms for her class. The smooth and wooly ones are at present the pre ferred variety. * * * Student, Shall we walk to the the cemetery? Other Student, That's a grave question. O. Kay * * * T've lost my religionI. she ex claimed, as she looked frantically through her notebook ten minutes before the Religion examination. * * * Faculty member (speaking to student at basketball game): What inning is it? Student (searching for syno nyms) : Couldn't you call a tennis player a racketeer? * * * F.levator bells are ringing; This poor freshman wears a frown While a sad refrain she's singing, Are they going up or down? The Banshee * * * Cursory Rhymes for Collegians I Sing a song of College, A locker full of books, The very few we carry home Are not for work, just looks. II Little girl, little girl, where have you been? ' I've been to college some knowl edge to glean. Little girl, little girl, what did you there? I entered brunette and came out with grey hair. Ill Ding-dong bell where, oh, where's the El ? What's keeping it ? Teacher'U have a fit. We'll be late but Instead we'll cut. The Invincible, '35. Rudolph Ganz Lectures Here Today's ugliness is tomorrow's beauty, emphasized Dr. Rudolph Ganz, president of the Chicago Musical college, at a college assem bly on Oct. 26. In a lecture on the evolution of music, extending from the single- tone chorus of the ancients to the dissonance of the moderns, Dr. Ganz illustrated his points with piano excerpts. He contends that radical musical theory of today will be the conservative theory of to morrow. Dr. Ganz has been president of the Musical college since 1933. He began as head of the piano de partment in 1900 at the age of 23, a European emigrant. His varied career includes the conductorship of the St. Louis Symphony orchestra and the Buf falo Philharmonic orchestra. He has also appeared on Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town. Among the selections in the il lustrative portions of his lecture was an original composition called The Little Sphinx. His other se lections included Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Debussy. Dr. Ganz has also written songs and piano suites. Junior Class Plans Fall Coke Party The junior class will welcome new members of their class at a coke and cookie party. It will be held in the tearoom on Thurs day, Nov. 4. from 3-5. Arrangements for the party will be planned by Virginia Leidinger, president, and Marilyn Lindahl, social chairman.

Review Promises Pledge Preview The Mundelein College Review will have a new addition to the family in the form of the Preview, a pledge publication. The Stylus club is organizing a new program for prospective mem bers to give them experience in the various phases of magazine work.

Debaters Refuse To Take Sides On Red Question Mundelein college has official ly declined to debate this years' intercollegiate debate question: Resolved, that the United States should extend diplomatic recogni tion to the Communist government of Red China. Although Munde lein does not stand alone in her de cision, some colleges plan to con tinue debating the question. There fore, students should understand the reasons for this decision. Diplomatic strategy by our am bassador, Henry Cabot Lodge, re sulted in tabling the motion for recognition of Red China in the United Nations. It seems presump tuous of us to attempt to analyze, debate and decide a question too hot for our government to hand le. Research on the question indi cates that evidence favors the nega tive side. There is limited reputable material available to support the affirmative, and radical sources would have to be studied to present a convincing case. Since our national policy is one of resistance to the Red Chinese government, our students would be compromising principles in defend ing that government in debate. The interest of the Debate club during the tournaments this sea son will be centered on the nation al intercollegiate discussion topic. The current discussion question is, How can the American educational system best meet the needs of our society ?
