Page Six - The SKYSCRAPER - April 5, 1968 Feature speakers during Mundelein mobilization by Rose McKiernan The Student Mobilization Committee has called for a ten day mobilization against the war in Viet Nam by students throughout the country April 20 through April 30. In contrast to some leading educators today, these persons claim that students hold an important political role in society that the problems that exist in the United States today are something that must be dealt with by students as well as other members of society. This philosophy is the basis for the proposal of the ten day program by the Students for a Democratic society. In conjunction with the na tional movement, Mundelein Student Mobilization has planned a ten day program aimed especially at the war In Viet Nam, but relating the draft and racism to it in the context of the power structure presently existing in the United States. SDS plans to distribute leaf- Mundelein Mobilization April 22, 7:30 p.m. Sister Dorita: history of the war April 23, 3:20 p.m. Bill Balton: chemical warfare April 24, 3:20 p.m. John L.

She is also a participant in the April 7 symposium, The Future of Higher Education. and co-sponsored by Munde lein, Bill Balton, a member of SDS at IIT, will speak April 23 at 3:20 p.m. in McCormick Lounge.

He will cover the war from yet another standpoint, its moralistic im plications for the society that has, up to this time in history, condoned it. April 25 will be devoted to draft resistance and the rela tion between racism, repres sion and war. At 3:20 p.m. Ray Townley, full time worker for CADRE, Chicago Area Draft Resistance, will explain what the draft is and how, through the draft, the govern ment has an effective means of channeling the occupational choices of young men in this country. He will describe the resistance movement as it presently exists and relate it to what young women in the United States can do. At 7:30 p.m. the same day, I.es Coleman from the Nation al SDS Office will discuss ra cism, repression and the war. He will propose that these problems Interlace and are all doe to the type of society Into which the United States has evolved. The final five days will be outlined in the next issue of the Skyscraper. General plans for the ten days include litera- NAPOLE0N and 125 other life-like, life size wax figures in 40 beautiful scenes GJbr Siiual Condon Wnx iffltrnmrnt lo GJmon 1419 No. Wells Phone 337-7786 Group rates with guided tours Open daily noon to midnight ture displays and a showing of films related to the war, ra cism and other problems in society. A group of students and fac ulty plans to fast on bread and tea during the ten days as a means of relating to the pov erty-stricken and war-torn peo ples throughout the world and also to express to the admin istration the position that they hold. They hope to bring about an administration stand on the issue of the war, believing that the colleges and universities in the United States are an in tegral part of society and as such should take a stand on what the society, of which they are members, is doing. Approximately 30 persons are involved in planning and carrying out the ten day pro gram at Mundelein. Chairmen of the Mobilization are Katie Beckert, Rose McKiernan and Sharon Pelletier, all freshmen. Katie Beckert states that although there is disagree ment among the members of the Mobilization over the value of the society that is sustain ing the war, there is general agreement on two basic issues. We believe that students must be allowed to hear all sides of the issue and decide for them selves. The public media cover one side of the issue. We hope to allow students to see the other. Secondly, all members of the Mobilization believe that the war is unjust and immoral and must be terminated. Mun delein students have for too long allowed the world to pass them by while buried in books and parties. Other campuses are much more politically ori ented than is Mundelein. The students exist in a real world and must begin to realize this and do something about it. Students on campuses throughout the United States, and in some cases throughout the world, have been asked to participate in expressing their opposition to what has been termed a racist and unjust war. They have also been asked to consider the society that is sustaining the war the so ciety that the Kerner Commis sion on Civil Disorders termed a 'racist' society the society that maintains a Selective Ser vice System, conscripting young men for militaristic pur poses that are now being ques tioned, adds Sharon Pelletier. do your contact lenses lead a clean life? Contact lenses can be heaven ... or hell. They may be a wonder of modern science but just the slightest bit of dirt under the lens can make them unbearable. In order to keep your con tact lenses as comforta ble and convenient as they were designed to be, you have to take care of them. Until now you needed two or more separate solutions to properly pre pare and maintain your contacts. You would think that caring for con tacts should be as con venient as wearing them. It can be with Lensine. Lensine is the one lens solution for complete contact lens care. Just a drop or two, before you insert your lens.coats and lubricates it allowing the lens to float more freely in the eye's fluids. That's because Lensine is an isotonic solution, which means that it blends with the natural fluids of the eye. Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the buildup of foreign de posits on the lenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine between wear ing periods assures you of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soaking case on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated that improper storage be- tween wearings may result in the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases can endanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic. Let your contacts be the convenience they were meant to be. Get some Lensine, from the Murine Company, Inc. , , i ..... ni'm ,;. ,,,.:-.M.Ii ll w
