Student Finds Joy in Convent

By MARY LETSIS
ie myth that a young woman'
rs a convent to flee from the
realities of life was blasted
erday by Pat Madden who left
University in February to be-
e a Dominican Teaching Sis-
it Adrian.
isitors to the convent expect
e a group of neurotic women

the College of Architecture and
Design, lived at Henderson House.
While here, she participated in
many extra-curricular activities
including the Soph Cabaret, Span-
ish Club, Newman Club, Hender-
son House Council and the Bas-
ketball Club.
"I guess you could say that
'I leaped behind the wall' from
the liberalism of the University.
I gradually saw that God came
first, made the decision-and
have since known a peace of
mind, that only comes from
doing the right thing," she said.

Spring is taking an intellectual
ring - or at least that's what
any instructors tell their stu-
nts as they leave their hot stuffy
assrooms for the crowded lawns
the campus.
This practice, although not ac-
pted wholeheartedly by many
niversity officials, is left up to
e discretion of the individual
structors. Many classes find it
imulating to absorb Shakespeare
philosophy by stretching out on
e cool green lawns.

MOST STUDENTS feel that
tdoor classes lend a pleasing
sual atmosphere while not dis-
acting too much from their good

feel It creates an atmosphere
childishness and creates a bad
ipression of the University in the
es of outsiders when they see
own people on the lawn trying
absorb knowledge," he said.
Other disadvantages noted by
tudents include noise from the
onstruction work behind Angell

hat crawl over books and cloth-

especially distracted by the

But the main trouble, as far as
some students are concerned, is
that these outdoor classes are
limited only to small discussion
groups.

Upon a suggestion that he
hold a class of approximately 400
students on the library steps, Prof.
Robert Heyns of the psychology
department quipped, "Judging
from the number of vacant seats,
this might be a good way of join-
ing the absent students."

Pat's convent day begins at 5:10
a.m. and continues until 9:30 p.m.
when lights go out.
"And it's a pretty full one at
that. Prayer is interspersed be-
tween our classes which include
both religious and academic sub-
jects. We continue our college
education right here in the con-
vent until we get our teacher's
certificate," she explained.
* * *
THE NEXT STEP for Pat will
be the taking of her temporary
vows after this introductory two-
year period. During this time the
fundamentals of the religious life
will be studied.
"These temporary vows last
for one yearand -re renewed
each year. But what most peo-
ple don't know is that a novice
can leave a convent at any time
-vows or no. No one is bound
to stay here if they discover
they've taken the wrong step."
Of the three vows - poverty,
obedience, chastity-that a nun is
required to embrace, obedience
calls for the greatest amount of
adjustment Pat said.
"Actually, there is no restric-
tion of free will in a convent. As
obedience itself is an inclination
of the will to recognize legitimate
authority, by 'following the bell'
we are given an opportunity to
express that, voluntary obedience
we chose in the first place."
* * *
ALTHOUGH PAT doesn't regret
her move, she admits that she
does miss the everyday joys of
outside life now and then
"I used to like my cigarette with
a cup of coffee just like anyone
else. But you have to enter into
this state of life with both eyes
wide open. I knew Id have to give
them up-so I did, that's all. And
the happiness I've since felt just
can't be measured by material
things.
"My values have changed since
I've become a nun, naturally. But
I still think Michigan has the
greatest football team yet."

Article Hits
Sororities
By HARRIETT TEPPERMAN
"College sororities should be
abolished from American campuses
as hotbeds of snobbery, intellectual
dishonesty and racial discrimina-
tion," Rosanne Smith Robinson
charges in a "Look" magazine
article that appears in the issue
which will hit the stands today.
A graduate of the class of '43
from Northwestern University,
Mrs. Robinson resigned from her
sorority at the end of her junior
year. She believes sororities rob a
girl of the ability to think for her-
self and substitute an expertness
in "the tricks of that most pathe-
tic and selfish avocation-social
climbing with all its opportunism
and pretension."
, - * *
CAMPUS REACTION to such
abolition was strong in both pro
or con answers. Adele Hager, '51,
who also resigned from her sorori-
ty said, "When a girl becomes a
member her values become twisted
so that only keeping up with her
'sisters' is important."
On racial and religious dis-
crimination, Mrs. Robinson cites
the fact that most sororities
limit their Catholic membership
to 10%, and that Jewish girls
cannot be pledged by gentile
sororities "unless' they are ex-
ceptionally beautiful, talented or
rich."
Margery Himmetreich, '54, a new
sorority active, supports the sys-
tem, "Sororities provide a girl with
a home-away-from-home where
you can make close friends instead
of many acquaintances."
* * *
FRATERNITY MEN, too, were
varied in their opinions of sorori-
ties.
Richard Demmer, '53, said,
"sororities are a vital cog in cam-
pus activities, and they add to
campus color and glamour."
Sam Altman, '51, however,
claimed, "For my money they can
be abolished-they aren't of any
use to the girls."

Jim Moore, '53, doesn't look
much like an admiral.
He strolls to his classes in marine
fatigue clothes, and talks mostly
of the wartime meals he cooked
while on the Pacific islands.
The only clues to his status in
the seafaring hierarchy are an im-
pressive scroll bearing ,his name
and his early morning occupation
of sailing toy boats in a sink.
* *. *
MOORE, a 24-year-old pre-law
student, is an admiral in the Great
Navy of the State of Nebraska. He
was installed in office last fall
when an appointment certificate
came through the mail signed by
Nebraska Gov. Val Peterson.
Although the forces which he
heads are of a somewhat nebu-
lous. composition, the certificate
does specify that "various offi-
cers, seamen, tadpoles and gold-
fish" fall under Moore's com-
mand.
The Detroit junior is reportedly
the only such naval officer on
campus, with the eminent excep-
tion of President Alexander G.
Ruthven. Although he had thought
he was the only campus figure
vested with the office, Moore was
not at all surprised when greeted
with the news of President Ruth-
'Ensians Remain

sians have already been picked up,
according to distribution manager
Peg Blackford.

on the second floor of the Student

noon and 5 p.m. today.

advance. No 'Ensians are being

ing.

ven's equal status: "Those of us
who have traveled extensively are
all eligible for this lofty station."
* * *
MOORE, a staff assistant in
Greene House, was a corporal in
the Marines' Second Division dur-
ing the war. He considers his pro-
motion "a great hofior and recog-
nition of qualities which are often
overlooked in the modern world."
He cited his great affection for
tadpoles and goldfishes as one
of the big factors contributing to
his success. "My main duty is to
protect the inherent rights of
these creatures," he said.
Moore admitted that his mari-
time duties are "not too press-
ing." He keeps in tactical shape by
putting a small ship through noc-
turnal maneuvers in a sink. "Only
in an extreme emergency, such as
heavy rainfall in Nebraska, are we
admirals called to active duty," he
noted.
Requirements for the office are
vague, but Moore is sure that a
speaking acquaintance with at
least three tadpoles and two gold-
fish is an absolute prerequisite.
"Seeing as how Val is a Republican
governor, I should also admit that
being a good Republican is a slight
asset," he conceded.
