This is not quite the odd tale it seems, but rather an important step in the determination of the presence of radioactive elements in the total diet of a 16 year old. Under the direction of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and the United States Public Health Serv ice, the Consumers Union's Depart ment of Public Service Project is aiding the search for answers to the present-day fallout question. Determine Radioactivity Mundelein's program is under the direction of Sister Mary Pierre, B.V.M. For the third consecutive year Mundelein's home economics department is providing valuable material by helping to determine the amounts of strontium-90, stron- tium-89 and cesium-137 in the av erage diet. One week's meals plus snacks normally consumed by a healthy teenager are fed into the ten-gallon Seniors To Be Chosen For Kappa Gamma Pi New members will be elected to Kappa Gamma Pi, the honor so ciety of Catholic Women's Colleges, in April when the Mundelein fac ulty and senior class vote for the 1963 nominees. Nomination and election will be based on scholastic excellence and student leadership. Names of the nominees will be posted and stu dents may withdraw their names if they do not wish to accept the re sponsibilities of the honor. Because the society sets high standards of scholarship, character, service and leadership during col lege days, it is considered a counter part of Phi Beta Kappa. Kappa Gamma Pi, proposed in 1926 by the late Reverend Francis V. Corcoran, CM., was established in 1927. Presently, it has chap ters at 100 colleges throughout the United States. Its name is derived from the first letters of the words Catholic Women Leaders written in Greek. Kappa Gamma Pi extends into after-college life, encouraging the participation of its members in church and secular affairs.

Since foods and water vary in their content of radioactive ele ments from place to place and from day to day, each composite contains foods purchased in local markets and cooked in local water. Study Milk and Water Special attention is given to the amounts of milk and water used. A four-ounce sample from every bottle of milk used in preparing the total diet sample is also sent to the laboratory for study of the strontium-90 contents of milk. Strontium-90 is especially danger ous because its radioactivity lasts about 40 years. Study Bares Problems When natural background, such as the sun's cosmic rays and rocks containing traces of radioactive materials, was the primary source of radiation, there was little need for concern. However, the world has acquired many new and grow ing man-made sources of radiation since the first atomic explosions. The dangers of this radiation be came apparent with knowledge of fallout, wastes from nuclear reac tors and numerous radioactive sub stances being used in medicine and industry.
