There is no ; each individual family decides her its young people shall be ac- panied to parties and dances by a companion or a member of the family. Single or double dates are uncom mon, he added. When the questions took a broader aspect, Professor da Silva compared the cultural advances made by America with those of Brazil, whose civiliza tion is a hundred years older. Geo graphically, North America, with her two oceans and the Mississippi River, is at an advantage over Brazil. His torically, North America has had sev eral strokes of good luck and a greater variety of peoples to help it grow. Other differences between the two countries that Professor da Silva has noticed during the month he has been here include the fact that in North America he saw racial discrimination for the first time; that, while Catholi cism is practically universal in Bra zil, American Catholics are more de votedly active in their faith; that the natures of Brazilians and Americans bespeak the ease with which they can be friends, and that, while the January winds nip and frost Mundelein students as they rush to school, Brazilian col legians are having their summer holi days. tension Sponsors Board of 3,000 ttholic Students junior English Major lepresents Mundelein operating with Miss Eileen O' er, associate editor of Extension .zine, the College has selected Marion *ig, junior English major and member Ithc Rcvinv staff, as Mundelein's rep- nitativc on Extension's Teen Board. tangible expression of Extension's I Youth program, the Teen Board, in- Sng approximately 3,000 students from lolic schools all over the United 'Jtes, will make suggestions for the bine's Teen section and will con- ite ideas for its contents.

Chemist Describes Atomic Bomb Research Demonstration of Einstein's theory that matter can be transferred into energy provided the nucleus for the discussion of the atomic bomb, by Etheline Hartge Cortelyou, of the Chemistry department, at a Chemistry club meeting on Jan. IS. Before coming to Mundelein, Mrs. Cortelyou edited and synthesized scien tific research reports on atomic fission, at the University of Chicago. The important result of this theory, illustrated the speaker, is the demon stration that one pound of helium has enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for 13 million years. Before the war, Mr. Cortelyou ob served, the United States' supply of puro uranium totalled three and one- half grams; in 1945 more than one ton per day was available. American scientists, she emphasized, have proved in this war that they can equal and surpass German chemists, just as they did in the last one.

Holy Cross Father Gives Lecture for Philosophy Club The philosopher's attitude toward life can be put into one word, Veritas, the relationship of reality to mind, declared' the Reverend Leo Ward, C.S.C., of the University of Notre Dame, in his lec ture to the Philosophy club, on Jan. IS. The philosopher must search for truth, Father Ward explained, both in the theoretical and the practical order, and, in his search for truth, he must in vestigate first causes and determinants. All great thinkers recognize this prin ciple, Father noted, observing that Euclid searched for basic formulas in geometry; Euripides, for fundamental concepts of human relationships; Francis of Assisi, for an explanation of his relation to God; but Plato went even further and, in his attempt to find the first truths of matter, studied the nature of things.
