Majority of One... Club News (Continued from Page 3) Molly Goldberg in the character of Mrs. Jacoby. The same worldly wise, common sense approach to crises ranging from the common cold to an international situation, characterizes the observations of both individuals. ANNE MILLER, general chairman of the 1960-61 student Benefit, beams for Burgess. Hemlines Go Up Up Up Dems Say 'We Told You So' Indeed, this happy combination of Gertrude Berg and a charac teristic application of Yiddish wisdom to every problem hold much of the humor in this play. This is especially evident when in the first scene of Act III, much of the scene's development oc curs without Mrs. Jacoby. The au dience grows restless and a spon taneous wave of applause greets her arrival she is the play. Again, another factor contributing to the success of Majority of One may well be its uniformly happy tone. Yes, there may be an international crisis; and no, we haven't forgotten World War II, but life must go on and we have to make the best of it. Much subtle wisdom underlies the humor in this play. The audi ence is reminded of the basic truth of the common brotherhood of man through humorous situa tions and misunderstandings. Indeed, perhaps the best method of interracial diplomacy either at home or abroad is to recognize that those seemingly basic dissimilarities are, in reality, only the same .things obscured by a different name. SI, udcrapina First things first, dears. Mary Ellen Kelly, Ann Zarlenga, Barbara Jerz, Sandy Mehl and Marilyn Petrie have all received what Carol Channing calls a girl's best friend. Diamonds. Carol Chura will be Mrs. Joseph Sassano the next time you see her. Peggy Brennan says to tell you that she isn't engaged; she isn't even going steady. In fact, she doesn't even have a date tonight. Her number in Chicago is still the same. In New York call BIgelow 8-8888 . . . The little man who wasn't there has been sabotaging the elevator again. This time he attacked Mary Fran Hoffman's and kept it in the air for 45 minutes. Mary solved the low oxygen problem by having the neighboring elevator run up and down the shaft at high speeds thus creating a good draft. It's a vicious lie that there were 43 people in the elevator at the time. There were only 41 . . . Sign in a laundromat: After doing your laundry be sure to remove all your clothes . . . During a recent lecture here at Mundelein a gust of wind blew one of the windows in making it necessary for Barbara Hartke and Sister Mary Irene to stand on the window ledge supporting it until help arrived. This school must have risen in the estimation of many of the motorists on Sheridan Road. Everyone knows that a school isn't worth its salt until one of its stu dents is driven to attempt suicide . . . Many of the student teachers have dis covered that the mouth can serve in other capacities than those of speaking and eating as a receptacle for the foot . . . Notice these particular headlines on this page: HEMLINES GO UP UP UP DEMS SAY WE TOLD YOU SO . . . Thought you might like a little higher type poetry: There was a young theologian named Fiddle Who refused to accept his degree For he said 'tis enough to be Fiddle Without being Fiddle D.D. In speaking of unrealistic approaches to marriage in Father Clark's class, Sue McCall asked, How do you help a girl who's in love with a knight in shining armor? Someone sent her a note later that had the answer no one in class gave. Get her a can opener . . . Some Republicans really took Nixon's de feat hard. Ruth Plattner is wearing a Nixon button edged in black electrician's tape . . . The United States Army must be getting desperate. This is the type of test they are giving these days: If you can see this sign at 20 feet, men, your hearing is all right . .. And then there was the Benefit. . . Do your skirts pay you compli ments? Are your hemlines where they should be according to the latest style? Unless you're good at altering, your clothes can't always fit like a dream. Are you short on time? Let the gills in the Home Economics Club, Alpha Omicron, shorten your skirts for you. Bring your straight skirts in on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. to Room 408 or contact Sandy Mehl, president, at locker 338 and arrange a time. A slight fee of 1 will be charged for this service, and the pro ceeds will go toward films for the club. The Home Economics Club will also be busy making Christmas stockings and eyeglass cases out of felt to be used as Christmas gifts. Anyone in terested in purchasing such gifts may place their orders on Friday, Dec. 2, at a booth across from the elevators in the lounge, where samples will be on display. IRC The Dec. 7 meeting of the IRC to be held in Room 707 will include a lecture by Sister Mary Harrita on her trip to Europe this summer. Math Club This year the Math Club is spon soring a series of contests to interest students in mathematics. These con tests are to be based on adeptness and ingenuity in solving problems. Mr. Tamas Bartha, math instructor, will conduct the monthly contest. Dems and Reps While the rest of the Republican Party flutters in the process of re counting votes, Young Republicans of Mundelein have conceded defeat. A party for the winning Young Democrats will be held Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. in the tearoom to settle the pre-election bet between the clubs. A dialogue on political candidates, refreshments and a chance for one final I-told-you-so will highlight the party. Laetare The elections aren't the only re turns that are being adjusted. The long awaited crew shirts for the Laetaere pledges finally arrived, only to be returned to the company for correction Laetare was spelled wrong. Psychology The psychology department is hop ing for another successful Neuropsy- chiatric Dance Program at Hines Hospital this year. Everyone is in vited to participate in this program which last year proved to be highly enjoyable for both the patients and the volunteers. Dances are planned for the follow ing dates: Dec. 14, Jan. 11, Feb. 1, March 1 and April 12. Chartered buses will provide ade quate transportation for volunteers.
