Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER March 8,1961 WHY MUNDLES ARE CALLED BUNDLES. Morning exer cise Rather than walk from the Loyola I. station across campus in two minutes, Miss Mundle waits 20 minutes for bus transportation to the door. NOW MISS MUNDLE IS LATE and should dash up the stairs to class. Will she? Of course not. After the bell rings the elevators stop at all floors. From Charm to Nahautls Clubs, Organizations Sponsor Talks, Dance Trading their magic wands for test tubes, the wizards of the Chemistry Club's prize-winning Magic Show will reveal the secrets of their tricks March 14 in Room 601 at 4:10.

Home Economics Do your looks say nice things about you? Are you up-and-coming, peppy, alive and fun to know ? For an extra dose of serenity and poise that makes you a person nice to know, attend the lecture Charm with Cents by Mrs. Bess Rothman, March 14, at 1:10 in Room 405. Mrs. Rothman, a lecturer and recog nized authority in the field of self- improvement and fashion has experi ence in business and retailing. Her talk will stress charm and beauty from within and will include tips on how to cultivate the feminine attractions which add to beauty, and how to choose appropriate and simple clothes with prices that make sense (cents). The Home Economics Club, Alpha Omicron, sponsor of this event, invites everyone to attend. Sandra Mehl, president of Alpha Omicron, attended the Home Eco nomics Association's Province Seven Workshop, for college club officers, held at the Palmer House, Feb. 17.

History Speaking on a topic of special per sonal interest, Mr. George Szemler of the history department was guest speaker at the IRC meeting on Mon day, March 6. The title of his talk was Hungarian Folklore. Psychology Mundelein volunteers are making this year more successful than the last for the Neuro-psychiatric Dance Pro gram at Hines Hospital. Recent over whelming turnouts have expelled all past thoughts of discontinuing the pro gram, says Helen Berg, chairman. Dances are held on the first Wednes day of each month.

Those interested can obtain further details from the bulletin board in Room 405D. Education Alumnae of the education depart ment were guests at a tea given March 3 by the senior members of the educa tion department. At this tea a panel St f dcrapinad pina Just so all you youngsters don't get the wrong idea, your Auntie feels it her duty to tell you that the reason she did not appear in the last issue was not be cause she was laid low by the Comps. It was that celebration afterward . . . Oops The truth is that she was slugged, bifocals and all, by an emotionally unstable Democrat who happened to read Auntie's column while papering the walls of her home (FHA) with the Skyscraper . . . Laurie, who wrote that charming piece of poesy on N.D. men in the last issue, is quite definitely suf fering from a sad case of too bad. Such a case involves complications of the heart, as I'm sure all you Ann Landers' readers might have guessed. Besides affecting the heart, this sickness affects the vision making all men appear to be beasts in the eyes of the one afflicted. Your Auntie was crucified for lambast ing one man, and this poor misguided thing takes on a whole school of Fighting Irish ... At the conference on the Ecumenical Council Mother St. Agnes intro duced Father Clark as Father Clock. Realizing her mistake, Mother commented that Father was lucky she hadn't announced him as Father Time . . . Formula for triumph: Add a little umph to try . . . Members of the Blacklisters' Club will be interested in knowing that there is no need to fear spending the rest of their lives in jail on Ry-Krisp and water for failing to return a book to the Chi cago Public Library. The Floating Busybody and Newsmonger Association re ports that there is no jail sentence here, but there is a minimum fine of 1 and a maximum fine of 10. In addition to the fine your library card is confiscated, and until the day you die all your reading activities are restricted to the Children's Room on Saturday afternoons. A fate worse than death ... As March 17 approaches it is only fitting that we quote the lines written by the venerable saint whose feast it is, for they are being used as the theme of the Variety Show: Hey look me over Lend me an ear Fresh out of clover and mortgaged up to here There are some colorful stories about St. Pat that have been lost through the ages, and one of those stories follows. Once upon a time when the dear Siant was baptizing an Irish chieftain, he leaned heavily on his crozier, the steel spiked point of which he had unwittingly placed on the great toe of the poor heathen. The pious chief, in his ignorance of Christian rites, believing this to be an essential part of the ceremony, gritted his teeth and bore the whole bloody mess. The place in which this happened is now called Struehfhuil (Stream of Blood) . . . Sign on desk in Cudahy Memorial Library: We're not infallible, but we're always right. was presented by several of last year's graduates who are now engaged in teaching. Panel members included: Carmelina Napolitano, Patricia Jones, Kathleen Kilday, Maribeth Yandel, Rosalie Neufeldt, Mary Ann Fogarty, and Therese McManamon. An infor mal question period followed the panel. Spanish On Tuesday, March 14, Obed Lopez Zacharias will speak to the Spanish Club on the ancient civilizations of Latin America. The program will be presented in 401 at 1:10 p.m. The guest speaker is a teacher at Wright Junior College and a former student of the San Luis Potosi Normal in Mexico. The talk is especially timely because of the growing interest in the dialects and manuscripts of the ancient civilizations, which is result ant of the discovery of a new tribe of Indians the Nahautls. These In dians have been found to have a civili zation even more advanced than the Aztecs. The lecture will be given in Spanish; however, Mr. Zacharias will clarify his statements and answer questions in English. Verse Choir Mundelein's Verse Choir made its first television appearance of 1961 on WTTW, (channel 11) March 6.

Curtis, Math Award Holder, Visits, Speaks to Classes A 1954 Kiekhofer Award holder from the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Charles W. Curtis, visited the Munde lein campus this week for one of a series of lectures sponsored jointly by Mundelein, Rosary and St. Xavier Col leges. An associate professor of mathemat ics at the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Curtis received the award in recogni tion of his outstanding teaching as a staff member at the school. Dr. Curtis, who received his master's degree and doctorate at Yale Univer sity, spoke yesterday in math and sci ence classes.

The lectures will also be given to day at Rosary, and at St. Xavier's, March 9-10. COME THE 20-MINUTE BREAK Little Miss Mundle should be counting her calories since exercise obviously didn't count with her in the morning hours. But does she? Bookstore candy receipts tally NO Rolo, Milky Way, Snickers, Mounds, Baby Ruth, Potato Chips, Pretzels, Cookies and Peppermint have testi fied against her. AH BUT MAYBE MISS MUNDLE frequents the gym after school to keep physically fit. NO again. Miss Mundle is a Bundle. She has forced Page Four of the Skyscraper to change its title from Sports Page to Sorts Page. Various activities will appear on it in the future. If sports can't fill a majority of the page, well that's sort of the breaks. Foremost Modern Dance Artist To Lecture, Demonstrate in Gym Internationally-famous dancer and choreographer Charles Weid- man, one of America's foremost dance instructors, will conduct les sons in modern dance in the Mundelein gym March 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. Anyone who has taken modern dance may participate in the lessons for a 2 fee, and any student may attend as a spectator for 50 cents. Famous for his Dance-Theater Idea in which he interprets essays through dance, Weidman has performed across the country for dancing enthusiasts. He uses a lecture-demonstration teaching method and critics describe him as having a casual, perceptive and very humor ous manner. CRITICS have also noted a new spontaneity and freshness in the at titude and approach to modern dance in students who have participated in Weidman's workshops. Lessons will include techniques for preparing the body muscles for mod ern dance routines and lessons in kinetic pantomime (movements in pan tomime.) PERSONS INTERESTED in drama or in any kind of dance would derive a great deal from Weidman's lessons in kinetic pantomime, according .to Miss Skwiot of the physical education department. It would be a great ex perience for those interested to learn from him personally, she said. Miss Skwiot studied under Weidman during the Christmas holidays. Reservations for participation in the lessons may be made with Mary Far- rell, 672, or Miss Skwiot. Charles Weidman Why aren't you saving cancelled stamps for the bookstore? CCD Asst.
