Betty Mu zik was awarded honorable men tion. Join Association Mundelein College accepted an invitation to join the Cen tral States College Association after a faculty meeting, Feb. 9. The Association, a network of 12 liberal arts colleges lo cated in six states, is unified in its desire to improve the quality of liberal education by accepting credit from mem ber colleges, by co-operating in the purchase of expensive educational equipment and by permitting faculty to teach their specialties on other CSCA campuses. ALTHOUGH STILL YOUNG, the Kingston Trio, (from 1. to r.), John Stewart, Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane are veteran performers. They will present their unique styling of folk songs and ballads in the College Theater, Feb. 22, 7:30 p.m. Budget Demands Tuition Expansion Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., college president, announced a tuition raise of 40 for the 1966-67 academic year, bringing the total tuition to 1,000. The president's decision, disclosed in a Skyscraper interview Feb. 9, was based on a study of this year's expenses and income prepared by the business office and was also influenced by an anticipation of next year's rising costs. The expanded budget is largely the result of the an nual increase of staff salaries. If we're going to keep a good faculty, we have to do it (raise the tuition), Sister ex plained. A small yearly tuition raise seems easier on students than a large hike every two or three years, the president added. According to 1965-66 figures published by the Life Insurance Agency Management Association in the pamphlet, College Costs, Mundelein's new total of 1,000 is below the tuition and fees for Loyola University, 1,040, and De- Paul University, 1,095. Figures for private women's col leges include St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind., 1,300; Barat College of the Sacred Heart, Lake Forest, 850; Rosary College and St. Xavier College, both 800. Mundelein's tuition and fees re main lower than such women's in stitutions as Dunbarton College of the Holy Cross, Washington, D.C, 1,050; Fontbonne College, St Louis, 1,030; Webster College, St. Louis, 1,120; Trinity College, Washington, D.C, 1,326; and Lo- retto Heights College Loretto, Col., 1,200. Crafton Details Numerous Plans For Campus Financial Assistance The financial aid programs ef fective at Mundelein this year are valued approximately at 375,000, commented Mr. Paul Crafton, di rector of financial aid and student employment, in a recent interview. Mundelein maintains a financial assistance program that is pri marily a liberal arts scholarship program, he explained, although fine arts scholarships also are awarded. Mr. Crafton pointed out that the liberal arts scholarships are taken advantage of essentially by incoming freshmen who rank in the upper tenth of their high school graduating class. Sixty-five to 75 students are se lected annually for this scholarship which is honorary, as are all schol arships, although financial assist ance accompanies it where a need for aid is demonstrated. The lib eral arts scholarship is renewable annually over a four-year period if the student maintains a 2.2 av erage. This year, 175 Mundelein students hold these scholarships with a total dollar value of 51,700, according to Mr. Crafton. Nine fine arts scholarships were awarded by the college this year for a total of 1,900. Like the lib eral arts scholarships, the fine arts scholarships are generally awarded to incoming freshmen who are in terested in music, art or drama. These are awarded on the basis of talent and are renewable annually upon evidence of satisfactory per formance, Mr. Crafton asserted. The College also offers the upper- class scholarship program, open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who have a 2.2 cumulative average (sophomores must have maintained a 2.2 average in their freshman year). This year there are 20 stu dents on upperclass scholarships, totaling 5,800 in monetary assist ance. A program of grants-in-aid, which Mr. Crafton explained, are awarded where students have not Cogley Explains Modern World Of Vatican II John Cogley, religion editor of the New York Times, will deliver the annual Critic Lecture co-spon sored by the Thomas More Asso ciation and Mundelein, Feb. 27, 3 p.m. in the College Theater. Cogley, founding editor of Today magazine and former executive edi tor of Commonweal, covered three of the four sessions of Vatican II as a reporter for Commonweal, the Times and the Religious News Service. In his address, After the Council, the journalist will exam ine the effect of the Council on the Church and the world and its con tinuing consequences. The Thomas More Association, a non-profit organization of laymen to promote Catholic reading, will also present the Thomas More Medal to Farrar, Straus and Gi- roux, Inc., of New York, the pub lisher of Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Con nor which made the most distin guished contribution to Catholic literature during 1965. Free tickets may be obtained by Mundelein faculty and students in the Office of the Dean of Students, 204. qualified for scholarships, yet are worthy of or need financial aid to stay in school, also exists on this campus. A great percentage of the finances from this program is dis tributed among the foreign stu dents. For the 1965-66 academic year, 21 grants have been awarded, totaling 12,300. Because the college is involved in the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) loan program, Mun delein students may borrow a maxi mum of 1,000 a year to meet edu cational expenses. Again, the stu dent must indicate a need before she is awarded the loan. In the event that the student does not graduate in four years, she may (Continued on Page 3) SECULAR CITY author, Har vey Cox, will speak at 3:30 p.m. today in McCormick Lounge dis cussing the need for a union of the ology and sociology in the modern world.
