SKYSCRAPER Pafce Three Aileen O'Brien Predicts Future For New Spain Refuting the wide-spread idea that there is a Fascist state in Spain today, Miss Aileen O'iSricn, lecturer and jour nalist who has been an eye-witness to much oi the Spanish Civil War, told the student body on Oct. 13 that Spain's -National Syndicalist state differs from Communism and Fascism in its atti tude toward Christianity. Communism, Miss O'Brien observed, is definitely anti-Christian. Fascism is non-Christian; but Franco's National Syndicalist state is based on the prin ciples of Catholic Social Justice as laid down in the Papal Encyclicals. Predicting a happy future for war- torn Spain, Miss O'Brien spoke of the laws permitting the teaching of Cate chism in Spanish schools, the universal practice of teaching Catholic philos ophy in Spanish universities, and the definite Catholicism oi the Spanish theatre. Convent-bred in South America and France, Miss O'Brien, although a San Franciscan by birth, has spent most of her life abroad. In 1934 she was ap pointed secretary for England and Ire land of the International Commission Pro Deo at Geneva, and she has also worked in conjunction with various local Catholic societies. Author of Mary Marlin Advises Script Writers If you can make a script realistic and imaginative and draw through it a thread of instruction you have the makings of a good radio writer, declared Miss Etna Phillips, guest lecturer in the radio script writing class, in her initial talk, on Oct 11. Author of the Women in White, Guid ing Light, Story of Mary Marlin, and other scripts, Miss Phillips is a for mer English teacher who firmly be lieves that all aspiring writers need the solid foundation of a liberal arts course before seeking success in radio. Discussing the technique of script writ ing, Miss Phillips impressed upon the group the necessity for considering all scripts from ihe viewpoint of the listener. Using dialogue almost exclusively, she pointed out, the writer must keep in mind the universal appeal to which the script is directed and must combine realism, ro manticism, and instruction into palatable form. Talks on Swimming At Northwestern U. Miss Eileen Scanlon, director of physical education, with Miss Claudia Eckert and Miss Marion Mansfield, talked on Swimming Around the World, at the Women's Swimming In stitute convention, at Northwestern university, on Oct. 8. The college swimming team has been invited to compete in a swimming meet at Frances Shinier college, on Nov. 12. Try-outs will be held this week. Inaugurating a new sport, the Wom en's Athletic association held the first archery practice last week, and an nounces that practice will be held on the library campus each Friday be tween 2 and 4 p. m. Alumnae Pursue Varied Careers With graduation a brief three months behind, alumnae of the class of 1938 are seeking careers as teachers, labora tory technicians, and social workers, and three of the June graduates are already married. The teaching profession claims Rob erta McTiernan, who is on the staff of Fengcr high school; Rita Granhold, who is teaching in Brimfield high school in southern Illinois; Margaret Madden, who is at the Immaculata high school, and Betty Crist, who has open ed her own school of dancing in Evan ston.

Attending Normal college are Cath erine Ann Dougherty, Margaret Mary- Murray, Anna Margaret Healy, Helen Coleman, and Mary Catherine Connell. Catherine Heery is doing graduate work at Loyola university. In addition, the worthwhile script, ac cording to Miss Phillips, must have a con sistent description of character. Remark ing that most of her scripts run at least five years, Miss Phillips noted that she ordinarily spends the first year developing and setting her characters. From the viewpoint of character appeal, Miss Phillips believes that her Guiding Light show, in which Mercedes McCam bridge '37 is featured star, will ultimately become one of the most popular of current radio programs. An idealist as well as a realist, Miss Phillips concluded her lecture with the remark If you can drive home one point in a script you have done a good day's work, and insisted that the script writer has a limitless opportunity for exerting worthwhile influence on the listening world.
