St If der ap triad pina Well, bat my weary eyelids and call me bleary, everyone has made it through another fortnight with only the minor casualties of shorter finger nails, straighter- than-straight hair and slightly scuffed loafers. Still, we pause briefly to sympathize with the poor delirious girl who raves, I like it. I like it. one sees all those old familiar faces anymore. Why, even Lewis Center was almost empty around noon several days last week. Where have all the students gone? Gone to the library everyone? In case no one has noticed, three is the in number this year. In ad dition to three classes in three terms, resident students also have three meal cards. Separate cards for breakfast, lunch and dinner make frustrated card carriers wonder if it's really worth it af ter all. Further Disillusionment Depart ment: In response to a Sky scraper request for a photo of Russian Nobel Prize winner Sho- lokhov, the Chicago Tribune's re action was, Who? Is he a Chi- cagoan? The wrath of a woman scorned knows no bounds, as Speak Easy speaker Norman L. Thomas learned when he addressed the boys of St. Joseph's College two days after throwing Mundelein into a turmoil. Vengeful students called St. Joe's and armed them with notes, ques tions and, above all, book titles with which to confront the contro versial Thomas. On all counts the Speak Easy is the most exciting and inciting thing to shake our complacency in quite some time. Three cheers for Stan Dale and everyone else in volved, especially the students aware enough to want to attend. The new book on campus for this year appears to be Harvey Cox's Tlie Secular City. All nomi nations for close second must first be submitted for faculty approval as it seems they are the official book discoverers. It might be in teresting if the students did some sherlocking on their own. One student discovery is the British film, The Knack and How To Get It. Judging from com ments made by older viewers, com ments like Maybe if we stay and see it over again we'll understand it, it takes a sophisticated youth to appreciate the off-beat technique and humor. Of course, there is the possibility that we were too sophisticated to even real ize that we didn't understand it. Why is there a butterfly on the cover of the new college cata- It might be interesting if frus trated social chairmen would tie advertising posters on the Munde- lien side of the fence protecting our esteemed institution from Loy ola. Maybe a banner across the west wall of the Northland would also be in order. Let it never be said that Mundelein went down in defeat before the whims of Loyola coeds. rv Club Week Quandary Another interesting phenomenon being observed is the fact that no logue? Could it be that Munde lein girls are molting? How many days till vacation? Too many. Ginger Ale Laetare Players Reveal Plans; 'Reluctant Deb' Initiates Series The Reluctant Debutante by William Douglas Home, Jr. makes its debut on the Mundelein stage Nov. 20 and 21. Director of the play, Miss Mary Penkala, describes the light comedy as a topical, very clever satire of mothers who make a career of selling their daughters on the marriage market. The story takes place in present-day London where young Jane Broadbent, played by Bonnie Czarnecki, is about to be introduced to so ciety in the hope of attracting a wealthy mate. Jane's mother, Sheila Broadbent, played by Pat Krogman, is anxious for her daughter to make a grand impression especially because her friend Mable, played by Ann Foxen, is also introducing her own daughter, Clarissa, portrayed by Janet Bina. Although Clarissa enjoys the attention, Jane is reluctant to cooperate in this society game. Both mothers are hoping to attract the charms of David Bullock to their daughters. The plot is complicated because Jane has fallen in love with the notorious bounder David Haylake-Johnson. Throughout the play Sheila's efforts are centered on getting Jane and Bullock together and keeping Jane and Haylake-Johnson apart. But the play is a comedy and must have a happy ending: Jane and the falsely accused bounder are finally united. The Reluctant Debutante is the first of three plays to be presented by the drama department this year. Following this light comedy the tone will shift with the winter presentation of Robinson Jeffers' Media. The spring play will be a musical produced through the combined efforts of the music and drama departments. The title of the musical has not yet been selected. Student subscriptions for admission to all three plays are available for 3; student patrons sell for 5; and standard gate fee is 1.50.
