The student body is cordially urged to attend the concert, and in vite guests. Cardinal Receives Glee Club; Gives College Gift His Eminence, George Cardinal Mun delein received members of the Glee club at his home on Christmas Eve, and lis tened eagerly to the Christmas carols they sang for him. In an informal talk, the Cardinal asked that the Faculty and students of the Col lege join in prayers for the recovery of the Holy Father, and then received the Christmas greeting, presented by Kathryn Wolford, Glee club president. He then presented to the students, for the College, the original manuscript of Jay Baring Gould's famous hymn, On- wakd Christian Soldiers, written in longhand on the author's personal sta tionery. The Cardinal then invited the students to see his beautiful crib and tree, and heard them sing his favorite carol, Ihs Kinderlein Kommet, before they visited his private Chapel, then ready for the prelate's Midnight Mass. Promenade At Bal Tabarin of Hotel Sherman Charlie Straight Plays New Chapter of Kappa Qamma Pi Organized Here The affiliation of Mundelein College with Kappa Gamma Pi, national honor society of Catholic women's colleges, was announced by the Dean, on Jan. 5. Membership in the society entitles a college to appoint as eligible for Kappa Gamma Pi -tb,as gradiiates who have manifested outstanding character, scholar ship, service, and leadership during under graduate years. Not more than 10 per cent of the graduating class may be ap pointed, and student members must have attended the college nominating for at least two years. The objective of the society, which re sembles somewhat the organizations of Phi Beta Kappa and Blue Key, is to unite representative Catholic women in a concerted effort toward the maintenance of Catholic educational standards. Organized in 1926 by a committee of Catholic deans, the society membership has grown until at the present time it includes 49 member colleges and 1500 stu dent members scattered all over the United States. With Catholic action as its watchword, Kappa Gamma Pi has encouraged achievement among its members by award ing prizes in short story, poetry, and dramatic contests. Winter Clepsydra Issued Next Week The winter Clepsydra, due to appear next Friday as an antidote to the strain of examinations, will contain, among other articles, a long short story by a freshman, Dorothy Forrestal, and a va riety of illustrations made by art stu dents. The Making of a Violin, a story of 18 century Cremona, written by Jane Malkemus, editor of the Clepsydra, will also appear in the next issue. Another short story, guaranteed to make the blood run cold, is a mystery, Come With the Blizzard, by Elizabeth Higgins. A story on a typical young brother will be sub mitted by Gertrude Feeny. A timely article on Charles Dana Gib son by Virginia Gaertner, an essay on Shostakovich by Eileen Grohe, an in formal essay on a country Christmas by Marguerite Bates, and a feature on win ter sports by Dorothy Stalzer will com prise part of the magazine.

Maurita Kelly, Prom Chairman Dramatists Present Plays for Clubwomen The one-act play class of tlie drama department will present two dramatic sketches before members of the Bronson Circle of the Rogers Park Woman's club on Feb 1. Margaret Cleary, Mary Rose Brown, and Marion Green, seniors, will present The Purple Door Knob, and a sopho more group will present The Bond Be tween. Advance by Retreat PREPAREDNESS in conflict has become the keynote of all modern wars physical wars entail the building up of vast armies and the marshalling of thousands of ships on the red seas of war; economic con flict involves the firm grounding of principles of social justice and com mon sense against the uprooting, radical arguments of red collectivism; and spiritual battles call for previous understanding of the conditions of one's immortal soul and the construction of a breastwork of a Catholic philosophy of life to protect that soul from the onslaughts of modern subtleties of sin. Once a year, Mundelein College offers to her students the opportunity of taking this spiritual inventory and of strengthening their practical philosophy for future wars. Once a year at retreat time, every Mundelein student may examine her spiritual life and eliminate from it all un christian tendencies. And once a year at retreat time the practical, collegiate Catholic en ters into the spirit of retreat with an intelligent eagerness that places a true evaluation on life and living, and with a practical spirituality that results in renewed soul energy. It is now time that Catholic college students, preparing for leadership in society, realize the seriousness of their situation. It is now time that they consider their own need for spiritual strength in a world of chaotic standards. It is now time that every student take a vacation from worldly life and re-arm her soul for another year of conflict. Bishop Sheil Opens An ti- Communism Campaign at Holy Hour Opening a city-wide campaign for the rededication of Catholic youth to the serv ice of their faith, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bernard J. Sheil, D.D., auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, conducted a Pontifical Holy Hour here on Jan. 12. With an unmistakcable warning against the subversive influences current all over the world today, Bishop Sheil challenged the students to think frequently of their responsibilities to God, to their country, to their fellowmen, and to consecrate the efforts of their lives by prayer and Cath olic Action. The Holy Hour was the initial collegi ate activity in the Chicago campaign, which will include similar devotions in every school in the city. The Reverend Peter Meegan, of the CYO; the Reverend John F. Henry, S.J., of the Catholic Instruction League, and the Reverend Anthony Pleiss assisted His Excellency at Solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Les D'Arciennes Honor Corneille At French Circle Dramatizing two scenes from Le Cid, Rita McGuane and Catherine Mulvihill, members of Les D'Arciennes, entertained Le Cercle Francais of Chicago in a pro gram honoring the tercentenary of its publication by Pierre Corneille, at the Fine Arts Building on Jan. 12. A preview of the program was given for the school on Jan. 11. Besides the play, which was given in costume, the life and works of Corneille were discussed by Miss Mulvihill, and Miss McGuane ex plained the background and plot of Le Cid.
