Freshmen Bounce To Old Tradition ()nce upon a time there was a large box. In it were some small green beanies belonging to boys of assorted sizes. In a tower on the shore of a lake were some beautiful girls, who sud denly became interested in the box. This is not just a once-upon-a- time story. It happens every year. The 1956 version is scheduled for Oct. 19 in the Loyola Union. Loyolans have invited Mundelein girls to the traditional Beanie Pounce, or Get Acquainted party. Beanies are the gimmick that will promote friendliness and fun. Procedures for a guest are to buy a ticket and get a beanie. Prob lem of the guest is to find the Loy- olan who owns the Beanie. Every thing starts at 8:30 p.m. on Fri day night. Thinker Belles . . . After Hours Education Is Goal of Campus Activities In some of our classes we sense an educational trend that appears to block our attainment of truth. We use the bell as a conditioning agent- to stop thinking. Once it has rung we are finished, instead of just beginning our thoughtful and spirited discussion out of class. At the meetings we attend we apply the same conditioning proc ess. Concern for a problem or enthusiasm for an idea rises at the beginning of the meeting but unfortunately sets as soon as the meeting ends. Sodality group discussions, NFCCS commission meetings, club or class meetings, and SAC assem blies should serve as starting points for our discussions just as classes should act as intellectual TROPHIES attest tennis skill of Junior Loraine Gauvreau who won three at a late summer tournament. Travel and Study Abroad Invite 1957 Qraduates Love and Serves Net Three Wins Love is important in many dif ferent ways as Loraine Gauvreau can testify. She placed first in the women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles of the Chase Park Club Tennis tournament. The tournament, which started Labor Day weekend, came to a close with the presentation of tro phies at a club party on Sept. 16. A tennis fan for only a year, Miss Gauvreau played every week end all summer, and entered the City Park District tournament in July. She went through the first Qual ifying round of the City tourney, and played at Garfield park with winners from all the city parks. A Physics major, she is a mem ber of the Quanta club and Tennis manager for the newly reorganized Womans Athletic association. For the senior who wants to travel and enjoys study, the North Atlantic Treaty organization, the Fulbright program, and the Bue nos Aires convention offer schol arships and opportunities. The time is short, for those who wish to apply this year. Deadline for all applications for these grad uate scholarships for study abroad is Nov. 1. Under the Fulbright Program, the winner is entitled to transpor tation, expenses of a language re fresher or orientation course abroad, tuition, books and mainten ance for one academic year at any of the 24 countries included in this offer. Ambitious students can study in either Oriental or Occidental at mospheres if they are U.S. citi zens, have college degrees at the time of the award, have a knowl edge of the language of the coun try of application sufficient to car ry on the proposed study, and are in good health. These are the principal requirements of scholar ships offered by all three programs. Winners of the Buenos Aires convention scholarships are eligi ble for study in 15 South American countries. To further the study of the com mon traditions, historical experi ence, and present needs of the North Atlantic Community, NATO also sponsors scholarships to all countries belonging to its associ ation on an exchange basis. Grants will be 500,000 French francs for one academic year of study plus travel expenses. Both scholarships and research fellow ships will be granted. Scholarship application blanks and brochures describing overseas study awards are available in the office of the Dean of Studies.
