TOWARD PEACE million students throughout the Uni- . ted States participated last Thursday in demonstrations against war, many of them taking the Oxford oath, pledging themselves to adhere to pacifistic princi ples. And tomorrow millions of Catholics throughout the world will unite in praying for the intention of the Holy Father for the month of May Fervent Invocation of the Immaculate Queen of Peace. Both Catholic and pacifist, obviously, de sire peace, but the Holy Father is by no means advocating extreme pacificism what the Detroit sodalists aptly called a sit-down strike against war. He is, rather, urging that Catholics in voke the Queen of Peace, petitioning that through her intercession order may re stored in a chaotic world and that Christian civilization may be preserved for posterity. Attention, Talent Scouts With Mundelein's own dramatic and musical recitals arriving thick and fast during the next few weeks, students may have little time for extra-collegiate in terests. In passing we might pause for a moment on the subject of student interest in recitals. So many of us are in attendance at classes far below the seventh and eighth floors of the College and far-removed from the auditorium that we very easily forget the talent being developed, and the effort expended there along lines of artistic en deavor. Effort thrives on appreciation, and appreciation too often is not forth coming from the student body. The last few weeks of school afford an excellent opportunity for student attendance at re citals and the development of appreciators of the first rank. Honor Roll Students who attain a grace point average of 2.9 receive High Honors; those with a grade point average of 2.7 receive Honors, and those with an average of 2-5 receive Honorable mention.

The book it-self is typical of the writ ing technique required by all good news- ladies of the press according to their chronological appearance in the filed of newspaper work in which they are en gaged, and according to the sections of the country in which they have worked. Each person is analyzed from the view points of personality, personal history, and individual contributions to woman's progress in (lie land of black and white' . Miss Ross's style might be character ized as efficient (she says what she has to say in a few, well-chosen words), vital, realistic picture from each printed page), and charming (the reader is cap tivated by the simple, interesting way in which thoughts are expressed). This book is not one of those excit ing, but tiring, books that have tenacles of interest which reach out and hold you unwillingly. Instead, it travels along leisurely and refreshingly, but under its smooth surface the steady, glamours, hectic heat of the news sounds asd re sounds and one can feel the accumulated pulse of joy of the chase which has Anne Royall interviewed John Quincy Adams on the banks of the Potomac.
