Seven Shopping Days BookstoreFeaturesGiftSuggestions For Everyone on Christmas Lists by Theresa Grotz Annunciation Mass To Be Celebrated The Golden Mass of the Annuncia tion, the fourth in the series of monthly student Masses, will be cele brated on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at noon in Stella Maris Chapel. Father Clark will celebrate the High Mass with the students in attendance participating in the singing. This day, Ember Wednesday, is especially consecrated to the mystery of the Incarnation in Mary's virginal womb. The Mass is so called because the Incarnation of the Son of God is truly the golden mystery of our faith. This feast has a rich Church heri tage. Until as recently as the begin ning of the 19th century, the Church of St. James at Bruges, Belgium, gave scenic representations of the Annun ciation at this Mass. eJjere ant Are you having trouble deciding what to buy that special person or friends for Christmas?

Department Organizes Special History Groups For Superior Students Two research-discussion groups, composed of students drawn from six regular history classes, have been or ganized as a supplement to the His tory of Western Europe course. A small group of superior students, under the direction of Sister Mary Crescentia, comprise the first section. These girls meet in a seminar room from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on alternate Thursdays, and are not required to attend their regular history class on Friday. The students, working in teams of four, have already investigated phases of classical and Roman civilization. They are currently engaged in a study of the major religions: Judaism, Islamism and Hinduism. Sister Mary Harrita is organizing the second, a voluntary group based on general participation by freshman history students. This group will meet in 507, every Wednesday at 3 p. m. The projects of these students will run parallel to and stimulate interest in class lectures. anca, Are you older than baby Jesus?

Mary Lou Lehman and Fran Wolo- sewick will take the affirmative side, while Gerry Ptacek and Yolande Rob- bins will compete on the negative side. Senior Talks to Sandburg At Penthouse Interview by Roberta Maday If Chicago were to name a poet laureate, Carl Sandburg would un doubtedly be the choice. No other writer has given our city so much at tention. It was in 1914, with the publication of his famous Chicago that the world became aware of a poet who gave affirmative shape to the images of our city. A sequel to this work appeared in 1957, when a group of Chicago in dustrialists invited Sandburg to write another poem. Sandburg produced Dynamics, a tribute to Chicago archi tecture. Sandburg who is a poet, biogra pher, and ballad writer was back in Chicago last week to witness Betty Davis, Gary Merrill and guitarist Clark Allen interpret his popular as well as some of his un published works. The new Executive House was his home while in the city, and on the day preceding the opening of The World of Carl Sandburg at the Civic Thea ter, the press was invited to an in formal get-together in Sandburg's penthouse. Refreshments ranged from goat's milk, which Sandburg welcomed us to try as it is his favorite beverage, to Scotch. After considerable delibera tion on the part of Sandburg's local press representative, Herb Carlin, a glass of Scotch was placed in my hand and I became part of the swing of things. SANDBURG TALKED FREELY about politics, beatniks, Chicago, and the following evening's performance. He termed himself an independent non-partisan constructive socialist and gave his comments on the presidental aspirants. When affronted with the question of the merits of beatniks, the 82-year- old poet, with a deliberation that added extra impetus to his utterances, im plied that their purpose is misunder stood. We had beatniks in my day, re marked Sandburg. Some like Baude laire contributed something positive to literature. Only time will tell about the worth of those of today. How ever, it's always good to have some kind of a spirit that runs contrary to what is common and accepted. He expressed a regret that Chi cago is no longer the hog-butcher of the world that he proclaimed and then added Today Chicago has an anxiety and hope that is hard to find in most areas of the world. When questioned about the merits of Miss Davis as an interpreter, Sand burg stated, She's all the stars in the big dipper and the North star too. The interview ended with Sandburg beaming appreciation because such Emphasis on Advent Spirit ustrated in Yule Plans DISPLAYING THEIR WARES, fresh gingerbread men, are San dra Mehl and Sally Greco, home economics majors. They are preparing for the combined home economics, chem istry and mathematics clubs' Christmas party, Dec. 16. Thirty girls from Angel Guardian orphanage will be guests. The tasty cookies will double as decorations and refreshments. In keeping with the added emphasis on the Advent spirt of penance and anticipation, class and club activities this year are centered upon Christmas projects instead of parties. THE SENIOR CLASS will host their mothers at a tea immediately following the Candlelighting cere mony. The juniors are preparing in dividual gifts for girls at the House of Good Shepherd. The class will meet and wrap the gifts with an un official contest for the prettiest wrap ping. Freshmen will collect foods, toys and clothing for baskets to be dis tributed to the poor through the Shiel House. The Biology club will sponsor a party and program at the Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor. The French Spanish, German and Russian clubs are collecting food. clothing and toys to be given to needy families. A joint project of the Math club, the Chemistry club and Alpha Omi cron will be the presentation of a Christmas program to the freshman and sophomore high school girls of Angel Guardian Orphanage on Dec. 16 in Mundelein's gym. THE CHEMISTRY CLUB will pre sent the play The Year Santa Didn't Come. Alpha Omicron. (the Home Economics club) will provide the re freshments, and the Math club will decorate the gym. The Sodality will contribute food and a Christmas card each to the Little Sisters of the Poor, and soap and shaving articles to the men of Peter Maurin House. The economics department is spon soring a doll collection for underprivi leged children in the Chicago area. people as WNBQ's Dorsey Connors, WGN's Fran Allison, Studs Terkle who taped Sandburg's comments on folk music, and Poetry Magazine's edi tor Henry Rago were eager to make his stay in Chicago a memorable one. A FATHERLY SQUEEZE for the on'y student present was the way a great poet said Young writers, keep trying. The thing I like most about inter views, said Sandburg, is that they make me realize things that I didn't know I knew. This made all present feel of some value and alleviated the fear that our visit might be taxing and our questions dull. The World of Carl Sandburg was a two-act program at the Civic Theater which lent itself to the display of excerpts from his biography of Lincoln, his ballads, and many poems that are packed with aphfoisms. ( Suppose you have nothing to do until tomor row and tomorrow never comes? ) Gary Merrill zoomed with phrases like We all want to go but we don't know where. Miss Davis, who as serted that although Sandburg has never attempted any dramatic forms he is a favorite of actors, recited many of Sandburgs 'pearls of wisdom' like Keep away from the little deaths. The stringings of Allen's guitar spirited the performance and the au dience could not help but chuckle at the wise but simple lyrics of Sand burg's ballads. WHEN THE CURTAIN CLOSED on the Davis-Merrill-Allcn perform ance, the audience gave Sandburg a standing ovation. Sandburg took his place on the stage and held the audi ence on the edge of their seats with particulars about our city. Chicago had given him its attention and ac claim, and Sandburg provided a thought to take home when he boldly asserted, Genius is audacity. PRINCESS of the Sophomore Cotillion, Mary Ann Strobel, displays her momentos of that evening, a princess doll and a Munde lein medal. Silver Research Survey Awards Lucky Freshman A sterling and plastic salad serving set was awarded to Benigne Wolski, freshman, by the Reed and Barton Sil verware Co. after her name was drawn from among the participants of the silverware research survey held in the Home Economics department on Nov. 10.
