Page Pour THE SKYSCRAPER Nov. 17,1965 Faculty Guest Speakers Extend Latin Influence A program, three years in the making, and aimed at adding a new dimension to education, has two members of Mundelein's faculty, Sister Mary Terese Avila, B.V.M., chair man of the Spanish department, and Sister Mary Crescentia, B.V.M., chairman of the history department, as primary par ticipants. Begun in the Milwaukee area, the program is de signed to acquaint faculties with Brazilian culture to bring to their classroom. Alverno, Cardinal Stritch of Milwaukee and Dominican in Racine are the sponsoring colleges. Focusing Joins Committee Si udcrapinad The Bishops' Commission for Ecumenical Affairs has invited Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., to join its newly formed Committee on Ecumenism and Catholic Edu cation. The Very Reverend Mon signor William W. Baum, executive director of the committee, issued the invitation on behalf of Law rence Cardinal Sheehan of Balti more. The committee, whose purpose is to advance interest in ecumenical activities throughout the Catholic school system in the United States will hold its initial meeting in Washington, D.C. late in Novem ber. Other members of the committee include Bishop James P. Shannon, the episcopal representative, Dr. Philip J. Scharper and Mrs. Eu gene J. McCarthy. on Brazil, the schools are orienta ting students to look toward North- South relationships instead of the singular East-West view of culture so prevalent today. There will be general conferences in Racine in November, January, March and April. On Dec. 3 and 10, Sister Mary Crescentia will lec ture on the Church in Brazil and the economic and social structure of Brazil. Her final two lectures will be Jan. 28 and Feb. 11. Sister Mary Terese Avila will de liver two talks on Brazilian litera ture March 28 and April 1. The first will be concerned with the backgrounds in literature before the 19th and 20th centuries, ty ing in the development of art, mu sic and history. The lectures will be taped and these can be obtained through either Sister Mary Crescentia or Sister Mary Terese Avila. For all the unaware sistern (per haps that's not the feminine of brethren) there are exactly 30 days until the official exchange of typ ing paper for wrapping paper and of folk songs for christmas carols. If anyone wants to be more precise and subtract weekends, Thanksgiving and what not, that brings the total down to a jolly 19. We shall overcome Christmas comes earlier and ear lier each year. The first week in October is a titch early for cards and tree decorations and the first week in November isn't much bet ter for lights on Michigan Avenue. Pretty soon Santa will be coming on Halloween and Virginia will have to worry if there really is a Great Pumpkin. An interesting field of study for science majors, perhaps in conjunc tion with the music department, would be a comparison of the voice range of Mundelein girls 35 years ago and today. Be it caused by the constant breathing of smoke- polluted air, the drinking of chlori nated water or diet-rite, or what ever else, the college song is hope lessly beyond the reach of the stu dent body. Admittedly, it would help if anyone could remember the words. Has anyone noticed the clocks lately? They are in a subtle revolt. News Briefs Presents Cotillion Clothes and men are high on the list of things to get for the first all-school semiformal of the sea son, Nov. 26. Sponsored by the sophomores, under the direction of Judy Ratto, social chairman, Cotillion Elegante will be held 9-12 p.m. at the Continental Plaza, 909 N.

Girls representing all classes will model appropriate at tire for the occasion. Proves Problems Topic for the second faculty-stu dent discussion session scheduled for Nov. 17, 2:30 p.m. in Room 405 is Dilemmas of Commuter Students at Mundelein College. As a monthly series of informal meetings open to all, the discus sions, dealing with problems and in terests on and off campus, are de signed to promote a better under standing between the students and faculty and to encourage a deeper self-awareness. Student Freedom was the sub ject of the first meeting, Oct. 27. Basis for the discussion was taken from an article of the American Civil Liberties Union, Academic Freedom and Civil Liberties of Students in Colleges and Universi ties.

Of course the clocks in Coffey were an hour off for a week after the time change but that is a semi-an nual tradition. Then there are the days the bells rang for all the old class periods. The clock in 507 is on Mountain Standard Time for some inexplicable reason and no one quite knows what the clock in 405 is up to. Become a clock watcher; it drives instructors wild but provides an education in itself. For anyone interested, there is a story of dedication behind the artsy pictures displayed in this issue. That unique roof shot was Winter Term Six Courses, Spring Five . .. taken from where else the roof. More precisely, Skyscraper photographers crawled out onto the ledge off the eighth floor at sunset, only to be spotted by eagle-eyed scholastics. In further Skyscraper develop ments, present editor Diane Sargol and assosiate editor Jean Durall have decided that as long as they have been accused of looking alike, dressing alike and thinking alike; they should be called alike. So, they are assuming the positions of co-editors. Mundelein events are taking more space on the front page of the Loyola News than Loyola func tions. Their main story a few weeks back covered the Speak-Easy debate while another article urged the attendance of the Chicago Film Festival showings in our theater. This must mean something. How about folk music at mass? Sing along with Father Gannon at Loyola and decide. By the way, is Loyola's library the only such institution with a bouncer? Soon they'll card people before admittance. The google's google of dirt in Mundelein's lot is on the move again. The only problem is, it never goes anywhere. Frustration is . . . seeing another girl get flowers . . . having another person answer the only question you knew . . . having a quiz on the fifth chapter after only reading four . . . finding only a bill from Time in the mailbox ... a 3:30 class on Friday. Happiness next time. Ginger Ale Auxiliary Holds Fall Luncheon, Fashion Show The eighth annual High School Mothers in Fashion luncheon and fashion show sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary will be held Nov. 20, at the Gold Coast Room of the Drake Hotel.

Panel Petitions Wives To Complete Education In NBC's Studio E Oct. 28, the video tape cameras focused on four Mundelein students with a mis sion. Marilyn Isett, Jean Gott- leib, Donna Brochman and Lois Gibfried, all members of Munde lein's continuing education pro gram, had agreed to take part in a panel discussion led by Dr. Nor bert Hruby, college vice president, for the NBC public affairs show Conversation. Their mission was to relate their experiences in returning to col lege work after years of homemak- ing and to encourage the house wives who sink into the washing machine to consider degree com pletion for themselves. The 90 minutes before the actual taping were devoted to a brief make-up session, coffee (in place of lunch), and nervousness over cameras and microphones. The panelists greatest concern was that their viewers should iden tify them as women who had en rolled in college not only to dust off their brains a bit, but to give themselves a specific goal after participating in Cub Scouts, the Great Books program, pottery mak ing and tutoring. Their enthusiasm for the degree completion program was evident during the taping. All were equally gratified by their families' reaction toward mother's return to college. As Mrs. Gottleib said: My husband takes a sort of savage delight in taking me to movies on the south side at a student rate. The show was aired Nov. 7.
