Happy Thanksgiving Vol. XXXIII Mundelein College, Chicago 26, Illinois, Nov. 21, 1962 Seven Faculty Committees Launch Phase One of Institutional Analysis Faculty members at Mundelein are among the first to engage in the College's institutional analysis and will continue to be vital to its success, according to Dr. Norbert Hruby, Mundelein vice president and director of the self-study. Although the program will com bine the efforts of the administra tion, students, their families and alumnae, faculty committees are presently the focal points of the self-awai'eness study designed to plan the best long-range course for Mundelein's future. Membership of each committee was based largely on self-selection with consideration given to the fac tors of variety in departmental rep resentation, balance of religious and lay faculty members and ap- College President Attends Institute On Religious Issues Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., Mundelein College president, at tended the First National Institute of the project, Religious Freedom and Public Affairs, Nov. 18 to 21 in Washington, D.C. This project, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, was designed to raise the general level of public understand ing on controversial religious issues of public concern. One hundred nationally promi nent religious, educational and civic leaders were invited to the confer ence. The main objectives of this con ference were threefold. The first was to analyze the practical and theoretical problems involving poli tical action and religious freedom. The meeting also aimed at foster ing greater understanding of the significant religious commitments that affect public policy. Thirdly, the project attempted to lessen needless conflict created by differ ent religious approaches to social problems. proximate similarity in size. Every full-time faculty member and 13 part-time faculty volunteers are en gaged in committee work. Seven committees are concerned with the following topics: organi zation of the College with Dr. Hruby as chairman and Sister Mary Therese, B.V.M., co-chair man; the quality of instruction un der chairman Sister Mary Marina, B.V.M., and co-chairman Mrs. David Spenser; curriculum, Sister Mary Cecilia, B.V.M., chairman, and Mrs. Robert Davis, co-chair man; faculty recruitment and re tention under chairman Mr. James Richards and co-chairman Miss Marilyn McCluskey; student af fairs with Sister Mary Eloise, B.V.M., chairman and Sister Mary Donatus, B.V.M., co-chairman; the library under the chairmanship of Sister Mary Ligouri, B.V.M., and co-chairmanship of Mr. William Co- zart; counseling and job placement with Sister Mary Margaret Irene, B.V.M., as chairman and Reverend William Clark as co-chairman. Use Phases The projected life of the commit tees is explained in terms of phases. In phase one, each committee will define its mission by deciding what questions should be asked in the self-analysis and determining the research methods and resources necessary to answer these ques tions. Results of these preliminary de cisions will then be evaluated by the Advisory Committee when it visits Mundelein Dec. 1 and 2. Members of this committee are: Dr. Ber- nice Brown Cronkhite, Reverend William Dunne, S.J., Mr. H. Mars- ton Morse, Dr. George Shuster and Reverend Joseph Sittler. At this time the advisors will meet com mittee chairmen and members. After the advisory evaluation, the seven committees request that the director of the Institutional Analysis either perform the re search required or procure the necessary resources. The scope of these requests will determine the amount of a grant to be requested by the College. However, the an alysis will be executed regardless of a grant. Set Up Seminars During phase two, the commit tees will reconstitute themselves as seminars on questions of concern to every professional educator in any college community. Members will prepare for subsequent analysis work by learning to study, think and talk as a unit. Committee chairmen will assign one topic to each committee member who will prepare a brief but carefully docu mented position paper. At the same time, the Central Office will be engaged in the research re quested by the committees during phase one. Phase three begins when the re quested research arrives. Commit tees will then have digested statis tical data, expert opinion, a selected bibliography and the experience of corporate discussion as tools to at tack the practical problems within their special areaf. In addition, the administrator re sponsible for each committee will be available as a resource person to meet with the committee at the chairman's invitation and to testify concerning present operations in the area being studied.
