Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER April 8,1964 St udcrapinad We wonder, quite frankly, about two things: the weather and our sanity (a lot of people, we suppose, have been wondering about both lately . . .). As we write this, our Easter bonnet, straw, is lying limp on a little puddle of melted snow and we have rescued our snuggies from the corner where we threw them one day in a burst of girlish enthusiasm and 60-degree weather. On the other hand (and this is where sanity enters the picture), we sent all our winter clothes to the cleaners yester day and unless someone does something, we will be out shoveling snow in our darling little white pique beach coat. And our snuggies, of course. We forced an efficient, endearing little grin, and braved the Outside World to take a look at a phenomenally quaint little idea in group living called Outer Drive East. This is a glass-and-steel-cage pie-in-the-sky at the corner of Randolph and the Outer Drive and everyone has been wondering about it for ages. (Mainly, we were wondering why anyone would build an apartment building there ) Our first impression was that we had entered the set of a Ross Hunter movie, but after gazing raptly for a while at the two-inch thick carpets and the built-in RCA kitchen (pink, as I recall), we recovered sufficient poise to make a few efficient, endearing career-girl-type observations. Mercy, said our companion. Yes, we said, brightly, Look at those laminated plastic countertops (This, for the benefit of others touring the model.) And these dear, luxuriously spacious closets By this time my com panion had wandered over to the panoramic-view-of-Chicago windows. Mercy she said (much louder this time and several people looked star tled). What a neat view of the Curtis Candy Factory She began rum maging in her handbag for a Baby Ruth she had stashed somewhere and I took her gently by the hand and led her away. Pandora SAC Candidates. . . Chris Mocarski Projects within the school such as a closer scrutiny of the CLUB CO ORDINATION BOARD, with an investigation of its procedures, functions and capacities and con sequently, the establishment of a monthly calendar which will truly coordinate club activities. Projects which will work to in vestigate the true feelings of stu dents on PLEDGE vs. BENEFIT, the impact of SAC events such as the BOOK EXCHANGE and VA RIETY SHOW, and the idea of open teas after the established CONCERT LECTURE periods. DESTROY THE SAFETY IMAGE by challenging our ideas through formal institutions such as NSA and NFCCS, going out of our selves through the means of club conventions and conferences, and informally conducting periodic gatherings with both male and fe male colleges and universities to discuss world and local problems. Most assuredly continuing worth while projects such as SOCIAL AC TION WEEK and ECUMENICAL WEEK which incite new ideas and interests. COMBAT SERENITY by uti lizing the Skyscraper as a means of expressing both student and fac ulty opinion through a series of articles which explore current prob lems. Also, fostering a closer link with the PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT to insure worth while publicity which will reach be yond the college community. Finally, SOLVE THE FAC ULTY-STUDENT COMMUNICA TION PROBLEM by having a se ries of informal teas open to both officers and students with the pur pose of expressing frank and hon est opinions on college policies. Loretta Mozdzen ered another link between the stu dent council and the student body. I propose that instead of trying to reach one student individually, the representatives work through the governors for the freshmen and sophomores and through a repre sentative of each major department for the juniors and seniors. In this way the entire burden of communi cation would not be placed on the SAC representatives but distrib uted among the students. The student council can further (Continued from Page 1) integrate the student body through co-ordinating various social events and other activities with the clubs on campus. There is also a need for a rehabilitation in the policies of the Academic Affairs Committee and the House Committee. Neces sary is a policy whose voice would hear the demands of the student and function with her goals in mind. Recently, there has been much discussion on the stand the council has been taking on issues at the school and at the national level. I believe these stands are necessary and should continue in the future. An example of this is Discrimina tion Day. Whether or not, we, as individuals agree with the stand taken, we must realize that the council did bring the issue to the student body. The conventions, such as those sponsored by NFCCS and NSA are also an important part of our student thinking. Through these conventions, we are able to review issues vital to us as students and as citizens, and are able to take a stand on issues and bring them to the forefront. Secretary-Treasurer Nominees Stress Council Representation Eileen Hurley I dislike to say that I am running for office. This term, to me, implies that I am in some sort of contest, with the position of secretary of the SAC dangling as the prize won by the luckiest participant. Rather, I prefer the British term of stand ing for office. The implication? A weighing of values, a judgment passed on the candidate. I am a candidate for the office of secretary of the Student Ac tivities Council. This position is more than clerical: from my past year on the Council as sophomore SAC representative, I have discerned that the ma jor role of the Council and con sequently that of its individual members, lay in creating the means to form student atti tudes on a variety of issues. And furthermore, I believe that this role of creation can exist within the present structure of the SAC. For the present struc ture is only a structure; it is the duty of the SAC to inter pret its structure and act ac cordingly and the key word here is act. How would I, acting in capacity as secretary of the Student Ac tivities Council, interpret my role in relation to the entire SAC. The accepted clerical duties are the per sonal responsibility of the secre tary. Then, because the treasury plan is presently in revision, I would work closely with the treas urer to gain a more effective means to publicize reports from conven tions. Because the secretary han dles the freshman elections, I wish to initiate a series of briefing sessions for the new freshmen concerning the phi losophy of the SAC, its role in student activities, and the du ties of the eight class officers. My platform in one sentence can be stated thus: The major role of the Student Activities Council, and therefore of its individual mem bers, is to create the means to form student attitudes not to form student attitudes. This is what I believe in. I invite your scrutiny. And I, in return, will scrutinize you. Fine Watch Repair Expert Jewelry Repair ORLY JEWELERS Diamonds Watches Pearls 1683 W.

Kathy Bacom Because I'm. running for an ex ecutive SAC office, I would like to clarify my position concerning the effectiveness of the SAC. If this Council is ineffective the solu tion isn't a switch in systems. I personally feel that the Council has done a commendable job this year the big step forward being the awareness weeks. This isn't to im ply that there isn't plenty of room for improvement. Specifically, why couldn't students attending SAC meetings take the awareness weeks' chairmanships? As for the treasury, the mount ing problem has been a reconcilia tion between a relatively constant income and rising costs mainly from the clubs. If elected treas urer, I would ask each club presi dent for a statement of expenses expected during the coming year and make out an expenditure blue print. I would also have to insist that every delegation that wanted financial assistance would have to submit its request before the trip and make a report afterwards. We want to know what we're spending our money for Diane Sargol The SAC a vital organ of stu dent life. How so? It is the SAC which represents and voices the opinion of the student body to the faculty. Do you, as members of this student body, realize that it is this very Council which handles the activity money of you, the students? It is your money which the SAC works with. How shall they spend it? It is up to you. For obvious reasons the entire student body cannot be seated on the Council. Hence, we have elected representatives. Being a student interested in student activities, I would like the chance to represent my fellow students on the SAC as their treasurer. During the year, which is now drawing to a close, I have voiced my class's opinion on the SAC as president of the fresh man class. Working on the Coun cil has increased my interest in the activities of the SAC, thus moti vating me to seek a position which will enable me to continue as a voice of this vital organ. Orchesis Club Stages Recital Orchesis, choreographed by the modern dance students and in structor, Mrs. Edward Ettlinger, will be presented today at 3:30 in the College Theater. A suite of folk-song dances, will begin the show, and modern jazz dances will follow to The Blues and West Side Story. Modern jazz dances will follow to The Blues and West Side Story. There will be dances interpreting single words, poetry and percussive sounds in Real Gone. The Status Seekers, a combi nation of jazz and modern dance, will conclude the program. Foreign Study is for Language Majors Only. Of course, If s for them, too. But it's also for undergrads in history, political science,. International relations, economics, psychology, philosophy and some other fields. We know. Over half the students in our university centers in Europe aren't language majors. They're pursuing studies in their own fields, and giving them a fresh, European di mension without interrupting their college careers. Foreign study may suit you, too. (It isn't for everyone.) This is the time of life when the experience of Europe can mean most. It will mean most if you use it to deepen and extend your formal studies. You might look into it-and learn about our programs, in cluding a new one opening next fall at the University of Madrid. Our centers don't offer mere civilization courses. They aren't cozy little ghettos for Americans. Institute pro grams immerse you in a great European university as deeply as your abilities allow. (We supplement and guide your studies, as necessary, to make sure they satisfy U. S. requirements.)
