Pake Two SKYSCRAPER We ARE Making Defense Weapons Eleven years ago, students enrolling at a new Catholic ceil lege for women on Chicago's north side were facing a prob lem of national depression. The girls who entered Mundelein in 1930 saw a world in a chaotic economic condition. Today, the opening of the eleventh year in our college's history, young women are again entering upon a year of study. Today they face, not the fin ancial depression of a decade ago, but the moral degeneration brought about by nations that have adopted a materialistic concept of life. Realizing this problem is not enough for today's students. They must have the will to do something to guard them selves against becoming inculcated with its parasitic germ. This above all should be their motive in their efforts to develop their minds they must try to fortify themselves against the erroneous think ing of the world. We would be defeating the purpose of a college education were we to urge Mun delein students to make of their studies a cloister wherein the striving for erudi tion would shield them from the world. The real purpose of study is the development of a maturity of out look which will lead to that intelli gent, well-poised living and service to the Church and State which should be the aim of the Catholic college graduate. We are in college now. We are not serving our country actively, as the world sees action. We are not engaged in a visi ble defense industry or in the army or in government service. We are in college. We are in college preparing our selves for the most positive kind of patriotic action intelligent citizen ship. We are engaged in a defensive industry which is making the most effective safeguard of government the thinking voter. We are serving our Country and we are serving our Church in a positive way by seeking the truth. Eleven years ago Mundelein students realized that an education would aid them in meeting a world that was on the verge of financial ruin. Today, students real ize that only an intelligent, educated citi zenry can aid the world in the resurrection of truth from the depths of fraudulent thought. Music for Everybody Nineteen forty-one marks the hun dredth anniversary of Anton Dvorak. Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia (Irchestra have recorded their version of the old master's Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, from the New World, in honor of the centennial. Dvorak's familiar clas sic is done justice in this rendition. Another symphony to put on your shopping list is Brahm's No. 2 in D Ma jor recorded by the Philadelphia Orches tra with Eugene Ormandy conducting. If .symphonies don't appeal, be amused and delighted with the Boston Symphony Orchestra's recording of Peter and the Wolf, with Koussevitzky waving the ba ton. Beethoven's Concerto No. 3 in C Minor is being offered via the popular album manner. Jose Iturbi conducts from the keyboard the Rochester Philharmonic in what is said to be the finest version of Beethoven's concert classic ever recorded. If I Were a Freshman Again . (With Apologies to Vogue) I would learn everything the first time it was presented and banish those night- before-exam hours of cram-memorizing. Jane Brown, Student Activities Council president. 1 would read the HANDBOOK inside out and learn word for word the College Song. Dorothy Hein, senior class president. 1 would master the credit system especially the requirements for a teacher's certificate, and plan my schedule accordingly. Rita Valenzano, S. A. C. vice- president. Believe it or not, 1 would appreciate school more the nearer you come to go ing out. the more you want to start all over again. Jean Bemis, S. A. C. secretary. I'd come to Mundelein College Helen Sauer, S.A.C. treasurer. I'd use the swimming pool more often. Peggy Schweisthal, Sodality prefect. I'd make better use of my time. Frances Smith, junior class president. 1 would try to remember that college and clothes are not synonymous. Rita Ann Mulhern, sophomore class president. I'd wear out all my saddle shoes in my first year, so that I would look soignee during the other three. Virginia Coffey, co-editor of The Review. I wouldn't confine myself to my special friends, but would try to spread an atmosphere of general friendliness through the College. Altine Kelliher, co-editor of The Review. **. I would not permit many moons to pass before I realized that the place to study is my own quiet little room, or the library, and not over a coke in a friend-crammed booth in one of the local shops. Dorothy McCarthy, co-editor of The Skyscraper. I'd spend more time in the chapel, and I'd wear my stockings like a lady, be they made of silk, cotton, or cheesecloth. Joan Morris, co-editor of The Sky scraper. I Mind Your Money At this time, when the nation is col serving for defense, it is only lilting uf the college student practice a bit of econ umy, not to the extent of depriving lift self of necessities, but rather to avo wasting her precious pennies on unncctj sary things. ' For this reason, and also in defense* ii of long-suffering fathers who are,-, greeted nightly at the door, not witfl a pipe and house slippers, but with* the inevitable statement, Daddy, Ir need some more money, we recom mend a remedy to remove the ha rassed paternal look and to soothef distressed daughters. t This unfortunate situation can ' Read It and See THE SKYSCRAPER YOU READ Leech.
