Reviewer Lauds - Eleventh Volume Of Student Verse There is less prettiness and more poetry, less cleverness and more sincer ity, in the current volume of Quest than will be found in almost any dozen simi lar anthologies from secular institution.;, according to a review in The Sign maga zine for April. Reviewing Volume XI of Quest, the anthology of student and alumnae verse, Clifford J. Laubc states that the poetry of the students and gratluates of Mun delein is the solid fruit of religion, in spiration, and discipline. Quest, he continues, is a continuing proof that song is a gift of the Holy Ghost. Without that gift, poetry tends to become eccentric and discordant. It is the Divine Energy that gives poetry its music and its wings. Mr. Laubc is telegraph editor of the New York Times and a poet.

Catholic University Drama Head Qives Lecture on Theatre Cites Objectives of Catholic Theatre Qroup The contemporary theatre includes many persons who know how to com mercialize the talents of others and to employ a showman's bag of tricks, de clared the Reverend H. V. Hartke, di rector of the Drama department at the Catholic university of America, in an address to drama and literature classes em April 10. Today's trend, Father Hartke said, is to merchandise the theatre as much as possible, using audience reaction as a norm and usually overlooking Gexl-given powers. To counteract this tendency, Father Hartke envisions a renaissance of re ligious influence in the theatre. At present the Drama department at the Catholic university is generally con ceded to be the Number One theatre group among American universities. Red Cross Unit Receives Pictures, Prepares Charts (Continued from page 1, column 2) A new project, inaugurated by the Camp and Hospital committee under the chairmanship of Janet Sprickman, is the formation of a permanent hostess group which will assist at parties given through the summer in the various wards of the US.

What Qoes On IN the spring a young man's fancy * lightly turns to thoughts of love, and in the spring a Mundelein student's fancy turns but not lightly to thoughts of engagement rings. CEN'IOR Betty Howard is busy with plans for her marriage on June 1 to Ervin Dean Garehime. Mr. Garehime, who attended the University of Colorado, is engaged in chemical work for the government. W/HEN Jerome Benoit, Seaman 1/c, ** came home on leave, he brought Joan La Montagne, senior economics major, her diamond solitaire. Seaman Benoit attended the University of Arizona. / LORIA Cable's ring affiances her to Fireman 1/c Robert Holmes. Fire man Holmes, who is home on a 25 day leave, participated in the battles of Leyte, Mindoro, and Pelelieu. He attended the Boston Institute of Technology. W/HEN Mary Helen Anne Brown was baptized, she wore a baptismal robe designed in the Art and Classics depart ments. Worked into the robe are designs symbolic of the sacraments, and of her name. The baby is the daughter of Helen Sauer Brown '44 and Lt. Tom Brown, Loyola ex '44. Geography Class Presents Forum on Pan-American Day Celebrating Pan-American day, Cor nelia Carrier, Kathryn Hangsterfer, Re gina Milligan, anil Janet Sprickman will present a forum for the geography class today- The Monroe Doctrine, the Pan-Ameri can Union, the Chapultepec Conference, and present day attitudes toward the Gcod Neighbor policy will be discussed with the aim of acquainting the group with conditions in the hemisphere.

Musicians Star in City-Wide Contest Present Dramatic Readings For Cluhs Dellaniac Laughlin, junior, and Eunice Dankowski and Marilyn Vosberg, sopho mores, participateil in a city-wide contest sponsored recently by the Chicago Wo men's Musical club. Miss Laughlin placed third in the contest. In the preliminaries, Miss Vosberg. soprano, sang Une Voce Poco Fa from the Barber of Seville by Rossini. For her selection in the Finals, Miss Dan kowski, mezzo soprano, chose Sequidilla from the opera Carmen by Bizet.

Jane Avis Butler and Joyce Archer, drama students, presented a program of readings for members of St. Timothy'j women's club and their guests on April 7, and on April 11 Edith Moscardini. junior drama major, read The White- Cliffs of Dover before members of the Irving Park Catholic Woman's club. Bernice Bielewa, violinist, and Margaret Cashman, both sophomores, also took part in the program. Name Juniors, Seniors As Fashion Revue Models (Continued from page 1, Col. 5) Lenore Brockhaus will be the maid of honor, and titian-haired Mary Grace Car ney and Mary Lavin will be the brides maids. Helen Walz will do the commenting for the Fashion Revue, and Dorothy Klemundt submitted the winning cover design for the Card Party Program. I ATEST advocates of the Good *-' Neighbor policy are Norinne Mc- Namara and Genevieve Scheffler. Miss McNamara received from south of the border a red felt jacket with gay Mexi can scenes appliqued on it. A telephone call from a friend in the governmental service in Washington added much in formation to the store of knowledge Miss Scheffler was collecting for her term paper on Mexican customs. A recent visitor to the College, Lt. * Robert Austin, discussed with a group of seniors the advantages to be found in civil service positions. The po sition Lt. Austin dwelt on in particular is that of a research aid for the Signal Corp. Work in that position is a definite aid to the war effort since it concerns confidential information involving mili tary operations overseas. lOW that quarterly examinations are a thing of the past we can recall mistakes that did not seem funny at the time. In an answer to a question con cerning Oriental dress for women, one student stated that Oriental women are not allowed to wear supercilious jewelry. The word, dear freshman, filed uneler S in Webster, is superfluous. Paging Through . . . OH IN A must be given democracy, x states Bishop Paul Yu Pin in Febru ary's China Monthly. Traditionally dem ocratic, upholding the theory that Of all things, man is the noblest, the Chinese have been denied formal democracy be cause of lack e gt;f popular education about it. The Bishop asserts that the Chinese people have no illusions about Commu nism's ability to solve the problem of post-war Chinese government. F DITORIAL comment on Herbert 1 Hoover's suggestions for the coming San Francisco conference, appearing in America of April 7, cites Mr. Hoover's notice of the lack of spiritual and moral appeal in the Dumbarton Oaks charter . . . without which any political organ ization must surely fail. * * ARGENTINA'S declaration of war * on Japan, and, in turn, on Germany is a fortunate and decisive step toward the solution of Pan-America's most seri ous crisis, according to an April Ameri ca. A return to normality, and, perhaps, to democracy within the republic, is foretold. * * IN stimulating, supporting, and extend ing all Catholic educational interests, the NCEA or National Catholic Edu cational Association has had pheno menal success since its foundation in 1904, writes Frederick G. Hochwalt, outlining the organization and general activities of the association in the Edu- catie nal issue of America. * * Poland, the first nation which took up arms against Nazi Germany, has been betrayed by its Western allies, states William Henry Chamberlin in the April issue of Sign magazine. At Yalta, there became apparent among the Big Three a technique of appeasement reminiscent of the unfortunate Munich incident, con tinues the writer. Yalta's solution to the Polish question, maintains Mr. Chamberlin, is wrong in method, in that the Polish people were given no voice in the settlement of their own fate. Moreover, it is wrong in substance, for the question is seemingly not one of boundaries or gain or loss of territories, but, instead it is, Shall Poland exist? * * * In the lighter vein, the April Sign profiles the pigtailed junior Duse, 8- year-old Margaret O'Brien, whose hob by is collecting holy pictures and sta tues and who is sincerely determined to he a nun when she grows up. It is encouraging to know that a Catholic home life is counter-balancing the glam our of a movie career for the talented winner of this year's Motion Picture academy Oscarette.
