In discussing being, symbols, personality, the controversial Hon est to God and technology, the 78- year-old professor sought clarity without condescending simplifica tion and showed genuine interest in dialogue with young Catholics. These conversations, he told listeners who included au thor-theologian Reverend John L. McKenzie, are not much older than Pope John XXIII . . . and are one of the most Upperclassmen Choose 22 for wonderful experiences of my old age. An audience of Mundelein stu dents and guests so large that it overflowed from McCormick Lounge into the library where an electrical hookup carried the dia logue, heard Dr. Tillich explain his notion of being and non-being in relation to man. Finitude is being and non-being united, he said. Every moment we live we have being; the next moment this being has disappeared . . . partly in causality . . . partly in memory. The same is true of every reality and of our reality. This means we are partly being and partly non-being. They are partly woven into each other. In this statement and his as sertion that these concepts are not abstract but experiential, especially in the case of non- being, Tillich is in the existen tialist stream, that is, in the system which considers noth ing an ontological condition, a concrete experience rather than an absence of. These concepts of being and non- being are central to Tillich's sub- M Who's Who' Twenty-two juniors and seniors have been named to Who's Who in American Universities and Col leges. The students were nominated by their classmates on the basis of scholarship and service to the school as shown by their participation in extracurricular activities. Accept ance into Who's Who entitles members to a key, inclusion in the annual yearbook and employment placement and recommendation. The 12 seniors include: Sally Durkin, Barbara Ehrmann, Vir ginia Finnegan, Ines Friederichs, Donna Ibison, Madeline Klaves, Carol Meister, Carolina Molleda, Virginia Newhart, Karen Nichols, Kathleen O'Keefe and Rae Paul.

Chemistry Department Merits Grant Renewal The Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare, Bethesda, Md., has awarded to the chemistry de partment a 1,680 renewal of the research grant begun in 1962 for the study of protein-related coordi nation compounds. The grant which has now totalled 15,000 has been allocated for equipment, travel and yearly stu dent stipends for four senior chem istry students. Student stipends enable seniors to work in conjunction with the principal investigator, Sister Mary Marina, B.V.M., department chair man, studying the functions of the protein-related complexes found in the body, their structures and im portance, through the use of infra red spectroscopy.

In discussing man's state, Tillich asserted the ambiguity of tbe fallen condition of existence: good can come of evil and evil from good; there are ele ments of good in bad and bad in good and this is estrangement. In reality in life, Tillich ex plained, .there is always the mix ture; the saint is a sinner in spite of being a saint. Tillich also sees original sin as other than absence of. Rather, he calls it a type of separation from. Of the two types of sepa ration which he distinguishes separation as individual being in (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1) Film To Trace Family through Two Centuries The Foreign Film Forum will offer Die Buddenbrooks, a Ger man film, Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the College Theater as the third in a series of seven foreign films. Directed by Alfred Weidenmann, this 1961 release is based on a novel by Thomas Mann. It traces the fortune of four generations of a wealthy merchant family of Lu- beck in Northern Germany. The characters are followed as their strength and prosperity gradually become weakened through the in fluences of the arts which face them. The action begins in 1845 when the family of Consul Buddenbrook was one of the most respected and important in the city, and it depicts the transition from the stability of the 19th century bourgeois society to the uncertainty of modern life. Although classic German is spo ken throughout the film, there is occasional contrast of low dialect spoken by the villagers and farm ers of the region. Single admission tickets will be available at the door for 50 cents. and Laura Nutini. Sister Mary Jean Michael, B.V.M., philosophy department chairman, will accom pany the group. Jet to Dulles Six are jetting from O'Hare to Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C., Nov. 29, and will return Dec. 3. The other seven will leave early Nov. 30, by car and return follow ing the conference. During their stay the group will reside in Wash ington, D.C., near the White House. The trip is planned in conjunc tion with the class' preparation of a philosophy of human nature to be presented as a class project at the end of the term. CACU Echoes Student Voice In Chicago Area The political, cultural and eco nomic strength of Chicago area col lege students will now be channeled and coordinated through the newly established Chicago Area Associa tion of Colleges and Universities, according to junior Judy Ewing, Mundelein's senior delegate to this organization. The SAC formally voted to affiliate with CACU, Nov. 18, appointing Pat Woods, fresh man SAC representative, as junior delegate to assist Judy. Resembles NF and NSA Formal affiliation with CACU be came possible at the Nov. 24 meet ing when this group ratified its constitution, set up committees, es tablished dues and elected officers. Based on the ideas of NF and NSA, but on a more limited scale, CACU will be the voice of college students in Chicago. CACU has the potential of a much greater force in this area than NF or NSA, according to Judy. Central problems, encoun tered by all Chicago area colleges, can be attacked with the force of a large organization. Judy sees the advantages for Mundelein as both the central loca tion of the group's leaders and the minimal transportation costs for delegates' meetings. Saves Money The present plans of CACU are aimed at saving money on travel, culture and education. The group has already established a central news agency to inform member col leges of cultural events in Chicago schools. Students can take advan tage of the proximity and reasona ble price of school-sponsored activi ties and speakers. Another plan is a chartering pro gram for student vacation trips. With a large number of Chicago students, the CACU can afford to contract for plane, bus and train trips. The CACU is also working on a discount service for students in de partment stores, college bookstores and restaurants. In the proposed professor ex change program, instructors from CACU affiliated schools would give talks and lectures to other member colleges.
