Spon sored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Coordinating Council of Com munity Organizations (CCCO), the festival will also feature entertain ment by such performers as Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier and Mahalia Jackson. Throughout the city 1,000 stu dent tickets are available at the reduced price of 1, purchased in blocks of five. Those interested may contact seniors Laura Nutini, Sue Snyder and Bernadine Thomas. Discuss Corps Meredith Mac Mackusik, a re turned Peace Corps volunteer to Liberia, will be on campus March 10 and 11. Mackusik will review his experiences in Liberia and the Peace Corps in general at 1 p.m. in Room 405 both days and will be available to discuss the Peace Corps on an informal basis with any interested students. Those wishing to take the Peace Corps placement test must sign a list and pick up questionnaires in Room 718. Questionnaires must be handed in at the time of the test, which has not yet been scheduled. Attend Seminars Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, will attend the 21st Annual Conference on Higher Edu cation at the Conrad Hilton, March 13-16. Theme for the conference, sponsored by the Association for Higher Education in Washington, D.C., is Higher Education Reflects on Itself and on the Larger So ciety. Display Works Sister Blanche Marie, B.V.M., art department chairman, will partici pate in two exhibits during March. Sister will exhibit paintings, water colors and drawings at Clarke Col lege, Dubuque, Iowa, March 1-31. Together with fine arts faculty members throughout the city, Sis ter will also display five oil paint ings at Harper Court in Chicago. Hold Exhibit Currently in its second month of Si udcrapinad If anyone happens to see any stray lions roaring in (this is March by the way, and repetition of the old adage is an insult to one and all) please re-direct them to August which is the proper month for all Leos, as any good astrologist will tell you. Besides, it's going to be a mild month, the Pope has seen to that. All the weak-willed souls who let the Lenten fast rules do their dieting for them are going to be forced to either develop some will power or buy larger clothes. Ah, yes, Virginia, there is an Easter Bunny. For co-sponsoring the Harvey Cox lecture, Sister Mary Anne David and Dr. Barta certainly occupied unequal roles. Sister did the intro ducing while Dr. Barta played water boy. Of course, water does have a definite sociological value and Dr. Cox's stress on verbal reticence should restore Dr. Barta's ego. Once upon a time there was a folk group who appeared in last year's revue who called themselves The Uncalled Four, although there were only three. This year, the same three have doubled, changed to a folk- rock format and are again appearing in the revue under the multi- innuendoed title of Rhythm's Children. There is a definite lesson to be drawn from this evolution and it's not the demise of folk music. Could this be a case for contraception? Congratulations to Sister Mary Assisium on being named the Faculty Line mother of the year for her loving attention to her four orphaned guppies. Contributions of guppy layettes will be accepted in 204. There is a contemporary card circulating through the dorm which offers perceptive comment on the college scene. It reads: So what if you do lack talent . . . there's always student government. Actually, this is not pick-on-the-library year. It's just that every one spends so much more time there that certain incongruities cannot help but be noticed. There will be an absolutely irresistably glorious no-prize offered to the clever little individual who can give the best ex planation and description of which door to use at what time to get into the place. Good luck There has been a leak in the security ring surrounding the book store and the rumor has filtered out that all the books for next term (that's right, there are three after all and that last one did not dis appear) are now ready for anxious students to run right down and pick them up. Comments on the conduct of high schoolers (come now ladies, it hasn't been that long) following the mass invasion of 500 for the Kings ton Trio, were sharp and rampid. Admittedly, it was an enlightening experience to be treated as an outcast right here on campus. So, the Kingston Trio was a smashing success, which everyone must admit is a novel occurrence. Of course, more than half the tickets were purchased by un-Mundy people but some of that go-going spirit did rub off on the size of the Medea audience. Maybe student apathy or disinter est or whatever the in Word is now, is a thing of the past. However, the proposed suspension of Speak-Easy does tend to dis prove this theory. Obviously Mundelein can only stand a limited degree of exposure to vital and informative exchange. Wouldn't it be nice if: There were some new tag-lines on the Salada tea tags? There was another way to lock things rather than with combinations which don't work and keys that get lost? There was no such thing as a 9:30 reserve deadline? There were permanently sharp pencils? There were no required courses? There were no people who posed stupid questions like these? Remember, if Robin Bird legs doesn't get you, Peter Fugitive will. Ginger Ale display in Gallery 4, the 36-piece Mundelein Art Faculty exhibit fea tures representative works by Sis ter Blanche Marie, B.V.M., depart ment chairman, Jimmy M. Jordan and Mrs. Edward Matula. Also shown arc two kinetic sculptures by Mr. K. Milonadis, who will be guest professor of sculpture at Mundelein during the summer 1966 term. Music Recital Offers Solos, Quartet, Duet Gershwin, an original composi tion, and solos by a Conservatory student will be featured in tiie mu sic department's March 8 recital in McCormick Lounge at 8 p.m. Mary Cooper and Denise Pleshar will perform Gershwin's An American in Paris, transcribed for two pianos by Gregory Stone. Sister Daniel Marie, B.V.M., graduate student at Northwestern University, will play the piano part in her composition, a three-move ment quartet for woodwinds and piano. Diane Kayano will play oboe, Denise Pleshar, flute, and Sister Marie A n t o i n e, B.V.M., clarinet for the piece. Two movements from Liszt's Annees de la Pelerinage will be performed by Sister Mary Ve ronica, B.V.M., a student at the American Conservatory of Music. Also included on the program will be Reger's Humoresque, played by Sister Mary Paula Vir- gine, B.V.M., and the second move ment of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 31 will be performed by Irene Skala '64.
