Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Dec. 15,1965 SI, u6cra,pina6 This is quite obviously not the day to sing out Joy to the World, what with two days of exams bar ring recognition that Christmas is at hand. But, the fact remains, and even all the trials of these 11 weeks can't create Grinch-hearted Christmas haters. After all, Christmas is the per fect excuse for letting the carefully cultivated sophistication slip a lit tle, while trying to get five strings of lights untangled, bake cookies, eat a candy cane, wrap a last- minute package and open the mail all at the same time and all ac companied by White Christmas. Whatever happened to the sign which was to identify this lake- lapped site for all passersby? If memory serves correctly (and it doesn't always) the class of '64 do nated the money, but, unlike last year's seniors who moved the book store themselves, the sign-donors So Soon? About Those Morals ... neglected to go out and dig the post holes. After the student-faculty basket ball game, all variety of sequels come to mind. Parachute jumping contests are one for instance, fac ulty first of course. Then there is always underwater octopus wres tling, sailplaning, bullfighting . . . Lewis Centerites are beginning to wonder just how long the juke box is going to Rest in Peace. It is not known just which song was playing when the overworked music maker erupted into smoke several weekends ago but it's been rumored that it was Help. If anyone notices a cloud of smoke surrounding the Northland, it comes from the jackpot which provided fortunate smokers with a temporarily inexhaustible supply of cigarettes. The vending machine, in a fit of generosity, yielded its bounty without the benefit of the usual 36-cent service charge. It is certain that by now every one has realized that the best part of first term is the term break. Two weeks will enable all to re turn fresh and willing to new courses, new teachers and new books for a span uninterrupted by all those annoy ing holy and holi days.

Due to alumnae authoress Jane Trahey's imaginative efforts Mun delein is becoming known as The school with the good ads. It was remarked that the library is either attempting to prevent learning or to encourage blindness. Placement of the dictionary (the one that Hercules would have trou ble moving) between the two first- floor reference rooms makes it nec essary to carry a flashlight to read the fine print. Honest, We Didn't Mean It Never did so many eager eyes read Sounding Board and News Briefs as last issue when both con tained embarrassing printer's mis takes. For all the curious, senior Mariellen O'Brien wrote the un signed letter, and no comment is needed on the Faculty Welfare Committee. 'Ave a Jolly 'Oliday Until next year, BUBBLE Ginger Ale Presents Show Egon Weiner, Australian-born sculptor, professor at the Art In stitute of Chicago, will present a Chicago premiere of his 1965 sum mer work at Gallery 8, Jan. 9-31. Chaplain Makes Liturgy Persona (Continued from Page 3) to his answers and even the actions of the celebrant and par ticipants appear mechanical. Fa ther explained, When I say, The Lord be with you,' don't just wish it back to my spirit. My whole car cass needs Him. Similarly, when the priests says, Go, the Mass is ended, the reply Thanks be to God is said through habit and has little significance. This is not a common response in modern terminology, Father said. So following his mandate, Father recommended that everyone carry the word of Christ into the world, and the suggested replies from the congregation ranged from Okay to I really will. Christianity, Father pointed out, is not just humanity. It is elevated humanity. He suggested that the Church eliminate the vest ments, which, he pointed out, were most important and practical at the time of their origin; today they are a hindrance, he continued. He also voiced his wish that titles be dropped to allow more freedom between the religious and the laity. In view of this, he asked that he be addressed as Don, rather than as Father. It affords a more personal relationship and more lib erty in discussion, he concluded. , : .- ; Mr. Weiner will be guest of honor at a reception Jan. 11, 5-8 p.m. Mr. Weiner has done several works for the Chicago area.

President Lives Famed 'Nun on the Run' Role Living up to her reputation of nun on the run Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., college president, has accepted membership on three new committees. Sister has been nominated to the Commission on College Administra tion of the Association of American Colleges for a three-year term from January 1966-January 1969. Receives Grant This Commission recently re ceived a 50,000 grant from the Esso Education Foundation to con duct a two-year study of working conditions and compensation for administrative officers in higher Want a Date? Toumabout ;n Fma Second Ends Faculty-Student Basketball Match Juniors Have 'Dibs' on Man An Affair To Remember, the junior class Christmas project is mixing business with pleasure. Donations for tickets will be ac cepted until Dec. 16 for a Janu ary theater-dinner date with Jack Stauffer, Northwestern University senior social chairman of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Ticket donations are 25 cents each or five for 1. According to co-chairmen, Mary Lynch and Susan Balser, the class will use the proceeds for a me morial gift in the learning resource center. The senior project comprised fur nishing Thanksgiving dinner for needy families. The freshman and sophomore classes also provided Christmas meals for needy families and wrote letters to servicemen in Viet Nam. In addition, the fresh men caroled at a nursing home in the area. All the projects were carried out under the direction of the class presidents: Liz Gordon, seniors; Madeline Rossetti, juniors; Pat Woods, sophomores; Gerry Kurtz, freshmen. The faculty-student basketball game began with optimistic cheers from the balcony and sidelines as Miss Yohma Gray won the initial jump ball, Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. in the College gym. But the faculty's spurt of energy was no barrier to the student team: within minutes Ann Beffa scored the first basket. Mrs. Robert Matasar made the first point for the faculty in a tense moment at the free-throw line, but the rest of her team seemed to have difficulty scoring. Even Mrs. Leo Gorski's frantic coaching from the sidelines ( Shoot Shoot ) seemed in vain. (It didn't even af fect Miss Audrey Sullivan's job as an impartial referee). In spite of energetic and deter mined efforts at guarding by Miss Silvia Hajek, Miss Susan Graefe and Mrs. John Ewers, Barbara Dahlder pulled the score up to 5-1 with a basket and a free throw. Mrs. Gorski, apparently tired of playing captain, got into the action and stole the ball from the stu dents in a spectacular play, only to by Jennifer Joyce lose it immediately. Miss Gray later captured the ball and lay on the floor, hugging it. Meanwhile a basket by Barbara Dahlder, and another one plus a free throw by Ann Beffa, brought the score to 10-1 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter opened with a free throw by Roxann Schaar, followed by an heroic first basket by Mrs. Robert Solotaroff. When Miss Jacqueline Schaffer committed an obvious foul, Mrs. Gorski pro tested to her teammate: Jackie, the idea is not to be seen Miss Schaffer came through with a bas ket and Mrs. Gorski carried on the spirit with two more. Barbara Dahlder then increased the students' narrow lead over the faculty with another basket and a free throw. Lynn Nutter also made a basket, resulting in a 16-9 score at the half. During the third quarter, bas kets by Pat Bertram and Alona Brown, and free throws by Ann Beffa and Maryann Diefenbach jacked up the score to 33-16 toward the end of the last quarter, while Mrs. Solotaroff and Mrs. Gorski added a few points to the faculty total. In the last two seconds of the game, the faculty resolved to win by hook or by crook. While Miss Schaffer stood at the free-throw line ready to shoot, Mrs. Gorski declared loudly: This one counts for 18 points The ball swished through the basket. Final score: faculty 44; students 33. education. Basically, the Commis sion is concerned with policies hav ing to do with the administrative structure of liberal arts colleges and their problems of budget, fi nance, fund-raising and staffing.
