Catholic Press Qroup To Meet Here Oct. 7 Catholic college arid high school journalists in Chicagoland will be guests of Mundelein College at the Chicago Regional Conference of the Catholic School Press association, to be held here on Saturday, Oct. 7. Propaganda has been selected as the theme for the Conference, which will open with Holy Mass at 9 a. in., in the college theatre, and which will con sist in a series of lectures by outstand ing Catholic philosophers and writers, supplemented by round-table discus sions for specialized groups. In accordance with the plans for Na tional and Regional Conferences, the meeting will be educational rather than vocational in nature, and will be directed toward enabling the delegates to recognize and evaluate propaganda and to determine its influence in the formation of public opinion. Organized at Marquette university in 1931. under the direction of J. L. O'Sullivan, dean of the Marquette School of Journalism, the association aims to promote Catliolic school jour nalism, both in content and in form. The problem of content Catholic thought is given special attention at the general meetings, which are de signed to enrich the background know ledge of the student writers and to enable them to develop intelligent, bal anced viewpoints on current affairs. The technical side of journalistic training receives consistent attention from the association in its services, which include the publication of the Catholic School Editor, a quarterly magazine containing articles on Cath olic life and art as they are related to journalism, and articles more direc tly concerned with the mechanical side of publications; the maintenance of a critical service; an annual survey and rating; honor awards; and an annual creative writing contest. A national congress of the associa tion meets biennially at Marquette in Milwaukee, and, in alternate years, regional conferences are held through out the United States. Both Loyola and DePaul universities have been hosts to previous Chicagoland conferences.
