Parisian Contrasts Student Life In America with French Version By Mary Gart Are college students alike the world over? Does enrollment in a university necessarily bring extracurricular clubs, ivy league styles and between-class bridge games? Not according to Marie-Noelle Tiger of Paris, France, who is studying for her master's degree in English literature. In addition to attending classes at Mundelein and Loyola, her work in the lan guage laboratory and the French department gives her ample opportunity to make comparisons. At the Sorbonne where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree, Marie- Noelle says, students concentrate in tensely on their own particular field, receiving a specialized rather than a broad education. There are no extra curricular activities, student unions and none of this card playing in French universities. A STUDENT must take his studies seriously if he is to succeed in his exams, she says. Of course, she adds, many attend classes merely for intellectual development without any intention of taking exams. Most striking of the differences between French and American uni versities is the relationship among the students themselves. Although American girls are vitally interested in belonging and feeling secure in their groups, Marie-Noelle sees little evidence of deep friendships. In France, she explains, friends spend hours analyzing each other and discussing ideas, while here the relationships seem superficial. In comparing American college men III O C to their French counterparts, Marie- Help DUy OCreWS The new scholasticate isn't postage- stamp sized, but stamps are playing a part in its completion. The bookstore has established a fund to pay for the screws in the new building. It is selling stamps to dealers who purchase them in pound lots, 1,500 to the pound, and who pay according to the value of the stamps as collectors' items. The stamps must not be torn and may not have straight edges. One penny United Nations stamp has added 2 to the fund. Foreign stamps, especially high value com- memoratives, are most valuable. United States commemoratives also bring good prices. A five-cent 1948 New York air mail is now worth 10 cents. But since individual stamps are rarely this valuable, the fund must rely on quantity lots as its main source of income. The bookstore is urging all students to donate stamps, large or small, many or few, for the scholasticate. Marie-Noelle Tiger that it is also a city where people live and work, just as in New York or Chicago. When asked how the French feel about Americans after being exposed to so much of our music, literature and movies, Marie-Noelle explains that there are only two groups who look down on us. ONE IS THE communist element. The second is the high intellectual group who think of the United States as the land of the frigidaire with nothing up here, she said, tapping her forehead. However, most of her country-men, she said, are as curious about America as her fellow students at Mundelein are about France. Save Your Stamps; Cancelled Air Mails Noelle describes the Americans as much more earnest. She thinks they take school, girls, and life in general very seriously. Do the French have similar false impressions about the United States? Yes, she admits, but our books and movies do much to correct these. Even though many American films are sentimental or overdone, the in telligent viewer realizes that there is more to the USA than fancy apartments with white tele phones. MARIE-NOELLE is both amazed and amused at some of the false im pressions her fellow-students have about Europe. Thinking of the con tinent as hardly civilized, they express surprise when she mentions cars or other modern conveniences. Another popular misconception is about her hometown. To Americans, she says, Paris is just a place to have fun. They forget Undefeated Volleyball Team Challenges Rosary Tomorrow The Varsity volleyball team, boasting an unsullied 6-0 record, goes into action tomorrow night against Rosary. The game begins at 7 p.m. in the college gymnasium. Fresh from a victory over George Williams college a week ago, the team will attempt to extend their winning streak to seven. Co-captains Belle Anderson and Marge Siemieniak led their team to wins over three opponents at the volleyball playday at the Uni versity of Illinois (Navy Pier) Nov. 8. They defeated Illinois 36- 13, DePaul university 33-17, and Wilson junior college 31-18. In a best of three match with the University of Chicago Nov. 10, the Varsity scored a double victory, 15-4 and 10-8. St. Xavier's suffered the same fate when they lost to the Varsity 29-23 at St. Xavier's two weeks ago. VARSITY TEAM members are Sally Greco, Roberta Dirzius, Irene Lizak, Mary Kay Martin, Patricia Two Clubs Share Joy; Plan Christmas Party The home economics and mathe matics clubs have collaborated to spread the spirit of Christmas early this year. Marie Hills, president of the mathe matics club and Connie Brunnell, president of the home economics club have planned a joint party for a group of high school girls from Angel Guardian orphanage, Dec. 10. An old-fashioned Christmas tree decorated with cookies and candies will be the main attraction of the party. Games and caroling and the presence of good old St. Nick will make the party merry. Rayne, Patricia Taepke, Jean De- wachter, Marie Indurante, Jean Kei fer, Gail Meagher, Claudia Lukas, Mary Williams and Mary Kay Se- vera. Volleyball Schedule Dec. 9 Alumnae Gym 7 p.m. Dec. 16 St. Xavier There 7 p.m. Instructor's Course In Water Safety Given by Red Cross An American Red Cross water safety instructor's course will be offered in the physical education de partment during the second semester. It will meet on Mondays and Wednes days at 3 p.m., starting Feb. 2. The course will be taught by Miss Pauline Duzeski, a staff representa tive from the first aid and water safety department of the Red Cross. Miss Duzeski is a graduate of Mun delein and has been with the Red Cross for 10 years. To enroll in the course a student must have completed her senior life saving course and have reached her 18tn birthday before the end of the school year. Students in the course will learn how to organize and set up swimming programs. The course is a prereq uisite for most beach or pool jobs and might be the doorway to a lucra tive and interesting camp job next summer. St udcrapinad Biology has paid off in an unusual way for Mary Agnes Menzies' family. Her sister Kathleen won an Encyclopedia Britannica Junior through the Ameri can's question and answer column, Tell Me Why? Kathleen submitted a ques tion Mary Agnes was asked in class what makes salt water salty? If you don't know, just ask Mary Ag. Another family member doing big things was Virginia Rohrich's younger brother who had a walk on part in the recent Lyric Opera Company presenta tion of Boris Godunov. Bill is a member of the St. Gertrude 8th grade choir. The rise of the egg heads was characterized recently in the library where among those feverishly searching for term paper material Mary Anne King's new stuffed canine friend Aristophanes was seen poring over a new intellectual guide, Walter, the Improbable Hound. Other Mundeleinites who showed their appreciation of finer things of Chi cago culture were Mary Ellen Cahill, Mary Ellen Dwyer, Betty Weiss, Pat Nolan, Judy Hariss, Julie Whalen and Arlene Douglas who spent an evening at the Old Vic production of Hamlet. Recent engagements include June Jankowski to Robert Paul and Kathleen Hendricks to Gerald Pabst. Overheard in the freshman locker room after the mid-term exam: Well, only 15 more quarters to go. Now there's a comforting thought for all fresh men. The odor wafting from the sixth floor recently heralded the arrival of the new dissecting specimens, fetal pigs. Reactions ranged from Patricia Sullivan's, Aren't they cute to the sight of an unidentified budding biologist seen heading for the door of the laboratory. Miles mean nothing where fun is concerned as evidenced by the miles put on the Mundelein speedometer each weekend. Marcia Magiera, Kim Inaba, Jackie Schmelter, Marilyn Parilli, Denny Hefferman, Sheila Callan, Julie Lyman, Mary Ellen Burg, Barbara Hartke and Ann Anderson went to Notre Dame for the last football game. Additional miles were added by Carolyn Schroeter to De Kalb; Barbara Jo Summers to Purdue; Connie Kenny to Loras; Barbara Patricia Manning, Evelyn Berg and Rosann Pinto to Wisconsin; and Carole Schremp and Ann Zarlenga to Illinois. Mile champs are Mary Gallagher and Renee Sluka who spent a weekend at West Point. Judy Cook asked Mary Murphy the definition of cavalry the other day. I don't take riding, was Mary's reply. No, you know, cavalry with knights and things. While we are on the subject of the horsey set the faculty is still pondering over the equestrian who received an incomplete for the quarter. Maybe she forgot her horse, Sister Mary St. Lambert observed. When coaxed for even a minute, Mary Fran Hoffman and Donnaruth Yates will tell you of their adventures meeting Archbishop Meyer. They arrived at Union Station bright and eager with roses and a gift for the new prelate. When he arrived, they were trampled in the rush and were left holding the roses and gift. Showing the perseverance only Mundelein girls have, they went to the Archbishop's residence. After telling their sad tale at the door they were ushered into a small parlor and soon after a priest entered and said Girls, I want you to meet your new Archbishop. We were flabbergasted, recalled Donnaruth. He was just wonderful to us.
