SAC Enquiry Will Aid School Progress Study To enable the students and faculty to gain a better understanding of their individual and cooperative progress at Mundelein, the SAC recently put out a questionnaire on college life. Divided into five sections, socio-eco nomic, academic, spiritual-cultural, so cial-extracurricular, and general, the questionnaire has been distributed to the students in their theology classes. According to Sister Mary As sisium, dean of women, the in quiry is designed to allow students to express anonymously their at titudes and feelings as well as to evaluate their cooperation with the facilities offered to them at Mundelein. It is also devised to enable the ad ministration and faculty to better un derstand the background and prob lems of the students, Sister added. In addition to the five-page ques tionnaire, a separate sheet containing queries on the counseling was added for the Dean's particular use. Due to a new system of computation by SAC officers, the results are hoped to be announced before the end of the semester.
