Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER October 18, 1961 Editor Solves Assembly Scuffle- Grow Up and Bring Your Friends Bubbles Are Still Blowing The hue and cry which seems as in evitable at Mundelein as quarter ex ams has once again arisen, this time from the junior section of the audi torium most often empty and silent. Let's make SAC assemblies re quired is the cry. Sound familiar? It should. Last year the student body decided through a school-wide ballot that SAC would not be required and we thought the issue was settled. But here it is again to be decided at an other school election. WHY? All SAC assemblies should be required because there school plans and activities are passed on and ex plained and it is the duty of all Mun delein students to know what is going on. SAC assemblies shouldn't be re quired because anyone who doesn't care enough to take an active inter- the lounge, is going to make anyone with anything else to do sit in the cold, dark confines oflthe auditorium? 3. In the education of man a great deal of effort is placed on the forma tion of a mature acceptance of respon sibility. A list being checked as you enter the auditorium does not denote a mature outlook. 4. Not having required assemblies will put a greater pressure on the SAC to keep their meetings moving and interesting not one long re port. Those who seem to feel the need of required assemblies could better make it their personal apostolate to interest their classmates to attend. After all, there are only three more. Joanne Twomey Juniors Remount Soap Boxes est in student government through at- /p f QfCOlleQI Q l6 nG WS tendance won't do anything even if ... ; T, In comparison to most class proj ects which are met with bounding en thusiasm but never get past the plan ning stage, the regional meetings con ducted by the junior class have sur vived the usual slumps through the ef forts of sometimes weary, but never theless interested students. Initiated to promote class spirit as well as to gather student opinion, the project was launched last January and has since then served as a free soapbox for every topic from the benefit to NSA. As a result, more juniors partici pated in the Variety Show than any other class, vital stands on NSA re sulted in the appointment of a perma nent representative, and class elec tions last spring received a definite and serious twist as students changed the usual personality contest into al most a national issue.

Thus, although term papers, heavy dates or pure skepticism caused the rather sparse attendance of some meetings, they have not dulled the juniors' efforts in the past and most likely will not in the future. Barbara Brzezinski anything forced to sit in the auditorium for 50 minutes. These are the pros and cons you hear in the locker rooms concern ing the controversy. Let's take a minute to look at the facts. 1. The first SAC assembly this year, where the issue was again raised, was well attended. 2. Does anyone seriously think that 25 cents, not even the cost of a pack of cigarettes in the machine in Query Reveals International Unawareness; Reporter Pries to 'Heart of the Matter' by Phyllis Luczak After questioning a number of stu dents on the present UN situation and receiving vague answers, if any, this reporter posed this substitute ques tion. What do you think is the cause of the seeming indifference of college students towards international affairs and/or what can be done about it ? Pat Jofinson, sophomore: They don't realize fully how close and influential these things are upon us a few years, even months for some of us. Understating, it's rather tragic. Leanne Pisani, junior: I don't think they are indifferent. They don't get much out of the news papers, and few have the time to do research on their own to be able to form a valid opinion. Marianne Wagner, junior: I feel that if the key issues were brought to our attention, possibly in classes, we would have to know and form opinions about them. Thus, if a student would not otherwise be in terested on her own, she would be compelled to be aware of the issue. Barbara Gaebel, freshman: Students are so preoccupied with their own world of college life and work that they sometimes feel they are not involved. Americans in par ticular are prone to ignore things un til it is too late to avoid them. Sharon Schnell, sophomore: I'll answer with another question. How often do you get a chance to really read the newspaper or a news magazine ? Lucille Adamcik, sophomore: I don't think it's a matter of not caring but one of having the time. Then, too, some students realize that a lot of the sources they might con sult are slanted and don't give the full truth and are therefore not worth their much-budgeted time. Peace Minus Fallout Berlin, Laos, Algiers, Vietnam and the Congo . . . the boiling spots of the world. This year the temperature of peace has registered either hot or cold in these struggling nations. As all the world stands with eyes intently strained on the seemingly sole hope for peace the crumbling UN we can do more than watch and wait. While our international peacemak ers grope for opportunities to cease these hostilities, we stand here with the answer to human misery and pain just in reach of our fingers the rosary. Sheila Smith Sounding Board Dear Editor: After a long three-year struggle, there is one privilege granted to seniors. For our first three years we, too, had to face the opposition in leaving the auditorium to get to our 2 p.m. classes. It is obvious that no one wants to sit and wait her turn to leave the auditorium, but the seniors have fol lowed protocol in waiting. Some day when you become a senior, you will have your chance at leaving the auditorium first after an all-school assembly so why not give us our opportunity now? Virginia Lardner '62 by Maxine Tyma From America You often hear it said that college jour nalism is a training ground for columnists and reporters of the future. But we some times forget that, occasionally at least, full- fledged young journalists are already at work on college newspapers, and that their output rivals or even tops the work of older men in the field. The reporting referred to was Loyolan Peter F. Steinfels' account of the August meeting of the United States National Student Asociation at Madison, Wis. Notre Dame University In an effort to stress greater personal re sponsibility through fewer disciplinary measures, the usual midnight lights out at college dorms will now be left to the discretion of the students. Mt. Mary College, Milwaukee, Wis. The College Council, in the pursuit of culture, is proposing a program to supple ment the academic life of the students. Fashion counseling, tips on the purchase of bone china, plus a tour of a restaurant complete with interpretation of French menus are included in the program aimed at refined femininity. Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio The Xavier Knights of Columbus have moved into a new residence, quite unique from that of college dorms. The 44-year-old French Provincial manor features 18 rooms, 6 baths and a 30 by 80 foot swimming pool. Mt. St. Joseph, Mt. St. Joseph, Ohio Three junior volunteers spent the summer doing missionary work among the Navajo Indians in Arizona. The girls taught re ligion, arts and crafts and conducted recrea tional activities for the children on the res ervation. Their most rewarding event was the baptism of 33 Indians and the First Communion of 52.
