Meyer stressed the importance of the rosary in combating the corrupt ing factors in our civilization and family life, as well as positively aiding the suc cess of the missions and the forthcoming ecumenical council. MANY EDITORIALS and articles have been written for Catholics, adults and students alike, on the subject of the rosary. These articles, therefore, tend to seem repetitious to the reader who no tices them as he flips to a more inter esting feature. Long or short, foreboding or hopeful, however, these articles do carry an important message, one which has been promoted by modern-day popes from Leo XIII to John XXIII. All have upheld widespread devotion to Our Lady through this the favorite instrument for her intercession. In one of his messages, Pope Pius XII stated, Not with force, not with arms, but with divine help ob tained through the means of this prayer (the rosary) . . . the Church shall be able to confront the infernal enemy. A SLENDER silver chain, 59 crystal beads, and a tragic molded figure on a precious cross.

To Leading Catholics Serving Fellowmen Across the world new faces arc appearing in positions of leadership as 1960 approaches. The UN General Assembly has elected a new president, Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde of Peru. Dr. Belaunde, former vice-president of the Catho lic university of Peru, has been a member of the UN since its formation 13 years ago. An au thority on international law, he has also written several works on the subject of Catholic philoso phy of culture. In his acceptance speech he prayed that this assembly may go clown in his tory as the Assembly of Peace. Another new face in the news is that of Mother Anna Marie Dengel, M.D., superior gen eral of the Medical Mission sisters, who has been made an honorary fellow of the Interna tional College of Surgeons. Mother Dengel is the first woman to receive this honor, which was conferred in a ceremony at Chicago's Civic Opera House. She established the Society of Catholic Medical Missionaries in 1926, and since has founded 30 hospitals in underdevel oped areas of the world. The first Catholic president of Germany, Hein- rich Luebke, took his oath of office in Bonn re cently. He will work with Konrad Adenauer, who has been re-elected as Premier of the Re public, President Eisenhower and Vice-president Nixon sent get-well messages last month to Dr. Thomas A. Dooley, who has undergone sur gery for cancer. Dr. Dooley has dedicated himself to founding hospitals in turbulent Laos, a hot spot in world affairs. His operation was a remarkable success, according to physicians at New York's Memorial Hospital, where he was flown after being stricken in Laos. These outstanding Catholics are just a few of the many who are working actively toward a better world. In giving them recognition, we should also remember their unsung fellows, whose ranks some of us may join in the future. Friendship's Reward Hospitality Shows THERE ARE 47,245 students from 131 countries registered in United States col leges and universities this year.

This group provides a tour of the city, a dinner and informal talks for the new students. Mundelein has 13 foreign students from any and every part of the globe in attendance this year. These girls at tend classes with us and arouse our in terest concerning them, their country and their customs. Evidence of this are the two stories in this week's Sky scraper and the SAC emphasis on inter national awareness as well as the na tional emphasis brought through the NSA and the World Sodality. BUT ONE OF THE AIMS of Ameri ca's foreign student program is to ac quaint young citizens of other countries with the people and life in the United States. Many of our foreign students, however, live in boarding houses or with other foreign students. They have little opportunity to see American social and family life. Why not include these girls in our out-of-school plans? Why not invite a classmate to go to an American movie or accompany you to one of the college mixers? There would seem to be bet ter way to acquaint someone with our customs. TO THESE GIRLS far from home the American Institution, Sunday dinner with your family, would perhaps make them feel closer to their own family. What interesting people you will find them with their knowledge of things and places you have dreamed of So why not have your own personal Know Chicago Day. You ll both profit from it.
