Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER March 3, 1959 Call to Action Topic of Priest At CIC Meeting The college division of the Catholic Interracial Council of Chicago has an nounced that Reverend John F. Cro nin, S.J., assistant director of the So cial Action Department, National Catholic Welfare Conference, will be the featured speaker at its 6th annual Midwest college conference on human relations. The conference will be held March 7-8 at the Sheraton Hotel, Chi cago. FATHER CRONIN will speak Sat urday night at the banquet before the conference's 200 guests and partici pants. His topic will be A Call to Action, based on a recent statement by the American Catholic bishops, Discrimination and the Christian Conscience. Father Cronin is nationally recog nized as an authority in labor manage ment relations and was chosen to act as mediator in the UAW strike against the Kohler Company in Wisconsin last year. IN 1951 he was sent to Germany by the U.S. Government as economic consultant to the American adminis tration there. He is the author of several books, of which his Catholic Social Prin ciples is one of the most widely known. Lecturing is one of his many other activities. He was in Chi cago last year as a featured speaker for the 1958 John A. Ryan Forum where he spoke on the controversial right-to-work legislation. Among Father Cronin's many honors is the Benemerenti Medal re ceived from His Holiness, Pope Pius XII in 1957. Loyola university students will present their annual vari ety show, An Alumnus Returns to Loyola March 6 and 7 at 8:30 p.m. in Loyola Community thea ter. Tickets are available at 1.50.

Forty-two teams, including North western, last year's national cham pions, West Point and Annapolis, will compete in the tournament. Pitt-Rivers: Darwin Lecturer Explains Theories On Evolution of Culture and Society With a voice that reminded some members of his audience of James Mason, Dr. Julian A. Pitt-Rivers delivered the second of the Darwin Centennial lec tures Feb. 24 in Loyola university law school auditorium. Dr. Pitt-Rivers' topic was The Evolution of Culture, and he made fre quent reference to the theories of his grandfather, British anthropologist Gen eral L. F. Pitt-Rivers. According to Dr. Pitt-River3, many of his grandfather's theories on the evolution of culture have been dis- FAST GAME brings varsity players into tussle for the ball beneath the basket as Mundelein's varsity downs De Paul 36-21. Team Boasts Four Gains; Players Plan Future Games The varsity basketball team bounced back to win four straight games after its initial loss to the Waves of Great Lakes Training Center, 42-36. SPEEDING UP the tempo of the current season, Mundelein's team defeated the University of Chi- Volleyball Contests Continue Program Of Intramural Sports Intramural sports are again in view for Mundelein sports enthusiasts. Vol leyball games will begin this week. As in the intramural basketball games, every class will sponsor a team. Anyone is eligible to play on the teams. The team with the best winning record at the end of the sea son will be awarded medals at the WAA banquet in May. Irene Lizak, manager of intramural volleyball, asks that prospective team members sign the lists posted in each locker room. Busy Junior Has Well-rounded Life If the purpose of a college educa tion is to produce a well-rounded per sonality, many shining examples can be found in the halls of Mundelein. Who else but a student can cram so mSny activities into such little time without suffering a nervous break down? Irene Lizak, for example, can run an addressograph machine, work a slide rule, develop photographs, man age a volleyball team, solve a calculus problem, analyze a metaphysical poem, run an elevator and spend her spare time in the Union. A JUNIOR, Irene has used the past two and one-half years to de velop both academic and extracurricu- flBMsMnsMaMsflsSBsVMBHB BRAINS BEHIND THE VOLLEYBALL tournament is junior Irene Li zak who puts her math major to work keeping track of a score of varied accomplishments. cago, Feb. 11, by a two-point margin of 59-57. The team was victorious in both games played at Northwestern univer sity in a Chicago area schools play- day, Feb. 21. The varsity overpowered Wheaton college 35-19 and then out shone their host, Northwestern, 40-34. At home in the Mundelein gym Feb. 24, high-scoring Claudia Lucas helped roll up a 36-21 score over the girls from De Paul. Meeting De Paul on the home floor Feb. 25, the Mundelein team pulled a surprise victory over their neighbor ing rivals with a 36-21 score. Jean Keifer was high scorer for the home team with 12 points. Carol Eddy of De Paul scored 16. A March 7 playday at the Univer sity of Chicago will be the next com petition on the slate for the varsity. On March 8 they will meet the WAFS at Shanute Air Force Base near Ran- toul. March 12 they will meet Barat in Lake Forest. Co-captains of the basketball team are Jean Keifer and Belle Anderson. Joann Walsh is manager. lar talents. With a major in mathe matics and a minor in English, Irene plans to teach high school after graduation. An active member of the Math club, she is helping with ar rangements for the annual high school math tournament, March 7. Irene's major extracurricular ac tivities are the varsity basketball and volleyball teams. Besides being a member of both teams, Irene is man ager of the volleyball team which just completed an undefeated season. Irene was also manager of last year's bas ketball team which lost only one game. The manager's job, she ex plains, is handling all the book work, scheduling games with other schools and arranging for referees. To those who object to sports and similar activities as detract ing from studies, Irene is quick to point out that two members of the team are on the Dean's list, one with a straight-A average. Since she is a student aid in the Skyscraper office, Irene is the paper's most loyal supporter and critic. Any one who has ever visited the office has probably seen her typing stencils or rushing off to the darkroom with a handful of picture negatives. Although Irene has become accus tomed to the hectic atmosphere of the surroundings, she says the hardest question she has to answer all day is that of the freshman reporter who enters with a half-finished story in hand, a bewildered look on her face and wants to know, Where's Sister? College Joins Group; Aim for Improvement In Teacher Education The American Association of Col leges for Teacher Education accepted the membership of Mundelein College together with that of 74 other colleges at the annual AACTE meeting Feb. 12 to 14 in the Conrad Hilton hotel. Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, and Sisters Mary Sebas- tianne, John Vincent and Alexander attended the meeting. The AACTE is a national volun tary association of colleges and uni versities organized to improve the quality of teacher education on both local and national levels. One of the AACTE projects with which the college is currently coop erating is Continental Classroom. This TV course in atomic physics is pre sented in cooperation with NBC with Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M., chair man of the physics department, in charge of Mundelein's share of the program. College Ranks Second On Enrollment Survey Mundelein ranks second among Catholic Women's Colleges in full-time day student enrollment, according to a recent article published in America magazine. Last year the college ranked first. Mundelein's official enrollment is 1,021 regular students. The College of St. Catherine, St. Paul, Minn., leads in enrollment with 1,053 students. culture proven, but the elder scientist would have heralded the disproving of his theories. One of the ideas of which Dr. Pitt- Rivers spoke was the theory that the level of culture could be determined by the remains a society left behind. In showing the weakness of this stand on the evolution of culture, Dr. Pitt- Rivers outlined the amusing example of the future anthropologist who dis covers as a relic of mid-20th century a soft-drink bottle. In the cultural melieu of the United States, people drink soft drinks, but a group of natives of a more primi tive culture has been known to use soft drinks as hair tonic. Dean To Lead Panel On Student Problems At National Convention Sister Mary Assisium, B.V.M., dean of women, will attend the annual con vention sponsored by the National Association of Woman Deans and Counsellors in Cleveland, Ohio, March 19 to 22. She will lead a panel entitled The You in ValUes which will consider the problems of student government and student values by asking the ques tion are you group-minded or group- blinded? The panel will consist of seven members, students, deans and counsellors. One of the panelists will be Robert Kiley, Notre Dame student and presi dent of the National Student Asso ciation. SI udcrapina3 Mundelein Good day Mundle-Bundles everywhere. This is Quizzical Jack, your roving reporter with you once again. My assignment this week is not finals, but finding personal tidbits about your fellow classmates. Many things have taken place at Mundelein during the past few moths. It seems that with the rush of Christmas we forgot a few items during 1958. In December Lillian Churchill and Susan Miller participated in the 6th Annual Fall Horse Show at New Parkway Stables. And to top this off, Lillian re ceived a fifth place ribbon. Natalie Indelli took one step closer to that alter when she received her engagement ring from Don Gramata at Christmas. And that just about does it for good old 1958. The new year brought Therese Osowski her MRS degree on Jan. 24 when she wed Edward Lauraitis at F.piphany Church. That's one way to start the new year right. I suppose many of you girls made the resolution to get your MRS this year. Well, there's always Sadie Hawkins Day and if that doesn't help, remember 1960 is leap year. DePaul presented an eventful picture for the year when Mundelein col legians started bettering relations with those Southern neighbors. Sue McCall, Barb Jerz, Barb Kolanowski, Adrienne Saraparu, Rosie Schneider, Marcia Lin- Ion, Judy Angone and Dolores Gaffney helped the policy of gracing the halls at the Inter-Fraternity Council Ball at DePaul. Further progress was made when Marcia Linton accepted Tom Morrison's class ring. More engagements are making the news. Joanne Vccchiollo is all set for marital bliss with Louis Pavia, as are Concetta Fumo and Mae Britt with Jerry Caputo and Jim Boesch. And on Friday the 13th, Helen Carroll and Gail Kolnik received not a black cat or seven years bad luck but a diamond. Bill Ewing and Andy Goetz seem to be the chosen two. I wonder if they called it had luck The last topic touched upon was travel. It seems that Marge Ryan and Patricia Sloan attended the debate program at Northwestern and Patty's com ment was, Boy, are those girls beautiful. Mary Lou Bartholomew went to New York on the new Electra and took in West Side Story and J.B. Speak ing of travel Pat Follrath has been driving to school in this sub-zero weather without a heater. Her comment It'll warm up soon. By the way her feet aren't blue naturally. If the column seems short and padded, you can remedy it by using those Skyscraping envelopes on the boards in the lockers. Just imagine your name in print. You too can become a famous personality, with little effort. People will soon be looking at you and saying, I saw your name in the paper. How did you rate? This is Quizzical Jack signing off.
