Mary Fitzsimmons Wins Cramer Essay Contest Junior in Liberal Arts Receives $50 Award In University Contest Mary Fitzsimmons, junior in the College of Liberal Arts, was an- nounced Thursday as winner of the annual William E. Cramer essay con- test by the Rev. I Donald J. Keegan, S.J., Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The award! was $50. The topic of the I contest this year was “Pope Pius XI j -His Life or Con- tributions to His I Age.” Miss Fitz- simmons, writing! under the name of “Pancratius,” titled M. Fitzsimmons her essay, “His Aim Was Peace.” This contest was founded by the last Mrs. Harriet L. Cramer in mem- ory of her husband. The prize is of- fered for excellence in English essay writing among all students of the College of Liberal Arts and the Col- lege of Journalism. Won Gamma Pi Epsilon Honor Winning major university contests is becoming a habit with Miss Fitzsimmons. She was the winner of the Marquette Latin contest in 1938. She was one of 13 coeds selected this year by Miss Mabel Mannix, dean of wom- Hilltop Sociologists Attend Convention Miss Reuss Appointed Chairman of New Student Group Marquette University had the larg- est student delegation to the Mid- west Sociological convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, Apr. 20-22, and was one of the most active groups represented. Miss Marguerjte Reuss of the so- ciology department was appointed chairman of a new student group in the society. Marquette sociology stu- dents will form the nucleus of this project, inviting scholars from other colleges to work out the same type of program. Of special interest was the trip several delegates took to Monsignor Liguitti's rural life project in the mining districts of Granger, Iowa. Improvement in home conditions through a back-to-the-farm move- ment is the aim of Msgr. Liguitti. Marquette faculty who attended the convention included: Miss Reuss, Dr. Paul J. Mundie, and the Rev. Thomas Divine. Nine sociology stu- dents composed the delegation: Elizabeth Stewart, Margaret Reis, Helen Gertz, Mary Ellen Bird, Veronica Fabke, Florence De Master, Catherine Stout, Mrs. L. Peterman, and James Byrne. en, to become members of Gamma Pi Epsilon, university honor sorority. She is vice-president of the Classical club, chairman of the Scribblers' club, and a member of the Sodality and WAA. She is a member of the staff of the Classical bulletin and has con- tributed articles to the Marquette Journal. The board of judges included Dr. Victor Hamm, associate professor of English; Prof. Thomas P. Whelan, College of Liberal Arts, and Prof. Earl H. Huth, College of Journalism. In selecting the winning entry the judges considered the following points: Originality in the selection of the aspect of the topic and its pres- entation; organization of the essay; documentation and completeness of bibliography; continuity; thoughtful spirit and coherence, and correctness of expression and diction. His Words Bare Weight Miss Fitzsimmons introduced her topic by showing how all of the Pon- tiffs of the Catholic Church have de- voted their efforts to the cause of peace throughout 20 centuries of ad- versities. She showed how Pius XI faced “appalling problems” when he ascended to the papal throne in 1922. The essay cited Pius' "triple offense that manifestly constituted his de- fense in the struggle against those who would destroy the peace of Christ.” These three offenses, ac- cording to Miss Fitzsimmons, were: First, “to build a foundation for peace by inculcating in the individual the Christian ideas of love and char- ity;” second, “to reconcile the oppos- ing factions that were undermining the solidarity of temporal states, and third, “to erect upon these that culmination of all hopes, the super- structure of political inter-state am- ity.” Miss Fitzsimmons recalls that “un- til the very end he (Pope Pius XI) pitted his failing strength against them (the tragic circumstances caused by ruthless ambitions of tem- poral leaders)-and his words bore weight in the conclaves of the great- est minds and the highest authorities in Europe.” Former Journalism Student Writes Book Of Catholic Poems Eastern literary circles are giving more than passing notice to “The Lantern Burns,” a book of poems written by a former student in the Marquette College of Journalism, Miss Jessica Powers, and to be pub- lished in the autumn. The proposed book has excited in- terest because she became disgusted with the procrastination of editors and publishers and promptly made a success of presenting her own efforts to the public. Miss Powers attended the College of Journalism in 1922-23. She resides in Tuckahoe, N. Y., at the home of two other Marquette alumni, Dr. and Mrs. Anton C. Pegis. Her contribu- tions have appeared in many Cath- olic publications and in the Chicago Tribune's literary column. Page Winchell! The committee in charge of the Senior review of events will welcome items of human inter- est from the lives of the mem- bers of the current graduating class. Really an opportunity! Six Engineering Students Engaged in T.V.A. Project “The Missionaries from Marquette” might be the most suitable title ap- plied to the Engineering students at work on the T. V. A. project in south- ern United States. Like missionaries, they are rather inconspicuous peo- ple, with little known about their lives or their work. Among the 6,000 men actively en- gaged in the Federal government's Tennessee Valley Authority pro- gram, six Marquette engineers by virtue of student co-op. jobs, are em- ployed three at a time, on alternate eight-week periods. Paul Schied, sen- ior, Richard Dess and Phil Ericson, juniors, and Emery Roberts, Ernst Wollin and Don Glatz, pre-juniors are the students active in the T. V. A. work. The four-fold aim of the project is: to provide a 9-foot channel from Pa- ducha, Kentucky, to Knoxville, Ten- nessee; to establish flood control; to provide electric power; and lastly, to provide farm reclamation which includes the improving of land and the prevention of soil erosion. All of the Marquette students are connected with the map and survey division. Schied and Roberts are engaged in checking and con- structing maps of the territory. Erickson and Dess are active in sur- vey work. 95 per cent of the survey- ing is done by means of aerial pho- tography while the remaining 5 per cent is accomplished by detailed sur- veying on the ground. It is in this latter respect that Erickson and Dess are occupied. Wollin and Glatz are participating in the work of the highway depart- ment which estimates the value of land preparatory to purchase, as well as prepares road beds. There are certain dangers connect- ed with the work, which besides be- ing serious, often prove to be very aggravating. Uncertain weather con- ditions in the south often bring un- expected storms and winds which wreak considerable havoc. In addi- tion, the land is habitated by numer- ous snake families, plus insects of diverse varieties. One story popular around southern Kentucky tells of a huge swarm of super-mosquitoes that swoops down on hapless cows and flys off with their unlucky pris- oner. Husbands Should Be Superiors, Coeds Believe Phi Chi Psi Frolics at Yacht Club A triple bill has been planned by Phi Chi Psi social fraternity for the afternoon and evening of Saturday, Apr. 29. A formal initiation of six new members at 5 o'clock will begin the festivities and will be followed by a father-son banquet at 7 o'clock. Dancing to Joe Smith's orchestra will conclude the entertainment feature. All three events will take place at the Milwaukee Yacht club. Pledges to become new members include Paul Jaekels and Bob Mc- Cahill, freshmen; Robert Walter, Stewart Carson and Bill Rogers, sophomores, and Robert Fisher, sen- ior. They will be inducted by the newly elected officers. John Schinner, active president, and William McCahill, alumni pres- ident, will tender words eof welcome at the dinner to the new men and to the fathers of the members. Several fathers will also speak. Lee Listman is chairman of the in- formal dance which will get under way at 9 o'clock for actives, passives and their friends from Marquette. Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Archer, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wirth and Dr. Paul Mundie will chaperon the dance. Fraternities Initiate New Members Sunday Pledges enlivened Triangle's social calendar by giving their annual pledge dance at the fraternity house Friday, Apr. 21. More than fifty cou- ples attended. With the pledge dance out of the way, members have turn- ed all their attention to making the annual spring formal a success. The completed plans give May 5 as the date, the Venetian room of the Hotel Astor as the place and Art Flamme's “Engineers” as the orchestra. Alpha Chi A smoker for prospective pledges was given by Alpha Chi, national so- cial fraternity, Tuesday, Apr. 25, at the Medford hotel. The gathering was addressed by alumni members, and the aims and purposes of the fraternity were outlined by Edward Bullock, president. The smoker was the second for rushees in anticipa- tion of the annual spring pledge class. Phi Delta Epsilon The Alpha Lambda chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon, international medical fraternity, inducted into its ranks new members at its formal initiation Sunday, Apr. 23. Richard Shapiro, New York, Maurice Greenberg, Mil- waukee, and Sydney Grant, Racine, were the members inducted. Pledged to the fraternity were Felix Taub- man, New York, and Donald Goren- stein, Milwaukee. Dr. S. Rosenthal, fraternity advisor, was present. Alpha Kappa Psi The joint smoker held annually by Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, professional commerce fraterni- ties, will be held at the Alpha Kappa Psi house, 911 N. 24th st., Monday, May 1, at 8 p.m. Al Bittner's orchestra has been chosen to play at the Alpha Kappa Psi's spring dance. The fraternity's national conven- tion will be held at Pocona Manor, Pa., in Sept. Several members are planning to attend. Phi Chi All Phi Chis are looking forward to the traditional spring formal dance to be held May 6 at the Yacht club. The committee in charge con- sists of Earl Hause, chairman, John Bocella, assistant chairman, Edward Dierolf, Paul Heise, Bob Callan and Bob O'Connor. Dr. and Mrs. Eben Carey and other Phi Chi alumni will be present. At the last meeting Don Hause was elected assistant treasurer and George Drescher, chapter editor. Delta Sigma Pi Hell week for pledges to Delta Sigma Pi began Apr. 24. Included in the busy week will a pledge show Apr. 25, a luncheon at the La Salle hotel Apr. 26, informal Initiation Apr. 29, and the formal initiation and dinner at the Ambassador hotel Sun- day, Apr. 30. “Women like to feel that the men they marry are their intellectual superiors.” Coeds of Mount Mary college and Marquette Monday afternoon agreed on this point when members of Pro and Con and Mount Mary's English club joined together at Drexel Lodge in a panel discussion on whether women of college level should marry non-college men. After viewing the- situation from numerous angles, the coeds agreed that compartibility and common in- terests could be more easily achieved between two persons, both of whom had received a higher education. They believe, however, that college women often marry non-college men who have become financially estab- lished while their college friends are still grappling with text books, but that such men do not necessarily lack intelligence and culture because they have not attended college. All were of the opinion that a col- lege woman feels that the man she marry be her intellectual superior because such a combination is more Complete showing of Arrow Shirts, Underwear and Neckwear Browning, King & Co. 112 W.
