What with all the fierce invective, the scathing black humor of posters which impute everything from rampant go-go-girlism to MRS degree digging, why belabor the hackneyed topic of student apa thy. Let a few moderate words suffice the firebrands. Apathy is no more than a seasonal phe nomenon which will disappear with the first thaw, when the Sartreans return from hibernation. If Speak- Easy did not survive the long, hard winter, we can only remark, with one of the original Loyola adher ents of the system as he trudged, dejected but resigned, out of the last Speak-Easy; Nuts. Perhaps Mundelein intelligentsia should go underground to recoup. Holding Speak-Easy in a cellar would not only be more traditional, but also less frustrating. Instead of expecting a large, gratifying turnout one could revel in an at mosphere of esoteric intimacy.

After the competition, Herman von Baravelle, who received his doctorate in mathematics at the University of Vienna, will lecture on The Dynamic Beauty of Geo metric Forms in the College Thea ter. Doctor Baravelle is the author of several books on plane and de scriptive geometry and three vol umes on physics. The tournament will be divided into two sections: Illinois High School Association (IHSA) mem bers will compete in one section and non-IHSA schools in another. Any school may enter up to three contestants who must have com pleted at least five semesters of high school math by March, 1967. Schools entering three contestants may enter the team competition. Individual pins and school plaques will be awarded to team and in dividual winners. The tests will consist of problems from different areas of high school mathematics; they will be given in a series of rounds and corrected immediately afterwards, Each test will be 60 minutes long. V dcrapinad pina ter) to be secreted somewhere in the Learning Resource Center? The purpose of such a venture is allegedly to provide a more sophis ticated basis for mixing than mixers, namely talking. The MSC school song contest is putting nascent Irving Berlins into a ticklish dilemma: how to devise racy, memorable lyrics that will come off reverent and hauntingly nostalgic. Maybe Mundeleinites are not so noncommital as all that, judging from the number that zealously sneaked into the 1967 Critic lec ture on Sexuality and Emotional Maturity. Perhaps it was merely (to jam in a literary allusion) the fascination of the abomination. At any rate the key issue of the IsileNCEA TtfltY question and answer period, (as audience vehemence grappled with auditorium accoustics) seemed to be Is segregation of the sexes for education cricket? Decidedly not, felt several elements; it's a lifetime psychosocial handicap. Is join or die our sole recourse? Should Mundelein, like Radcliffe, forfeit its identity in a merge? Are there any male institutions in the vicinity worth losing our iden tity (however indeterminate) over? Quandaries, quandaries. Comps-ridden seniors might be heartened by a certain alumna's account of how she conclusively traced the origins of the Aeneid to Beowulf on an English comp and got away with it. Or shall we say got an A with it? Of course, that was quite a long time ago . . . Latest bookstore gimmick: to foster evil propensities, a minia ture tool set, just the thing for baking into cakes or picking locks. It could be a boon, however, to residents forced to tinker with tem peramental heaters. Speaking of manual skills, what about those Judo lessons? Historical Note: Metaphorists have always been fond of compar ing Mundelein to an embattled ship forging ahead in hostile waters. We've always had the hostile wa ters, but now it turns out that the National Teachers Examinations Chicago Public Schools will use the scores as part of their 1967 Certificate Examination for Elementary Teachers.

Library officials aren't sure how it got there, (it could have slipped into the foundations after years of gentle erosion, or it may be a relic of the war of 1812), but it's a very valuable artifact. So far, however, negotiations to ward tearing down the library to excavate have failed. Misleading title aside, the Sky scraper Ball is not being held in the Skyscraper, despite the fact that this ponderous structure, with its old world flavor, twisting tur rets and serpentine passageways would be a perfect setting for other types of romances . . . like gothic novels. Whoever labeled the Serene Flax watercolors had better learn to spell Lothlorien before the com bined Hobbit resistance descends to exact just retribution. For Frodo still (just barely) ekes out an ex istence.
