Page Two SKYSCRAPER Searchers Need Flashlight Of Revelation This Twentieth Century A.D. might as well be called the ERA ()F Tl IE SEARCH. The world is filled with supposedly quali fied mental explorers who are seeking an answer, who want to paint a picture of the whole truth, so that millions may gape and marvel and assume a new outlook on life. These would-be explorers have em ployed nuclear physics, high financing, skillful legal claims, and the arts to ob tain their objective, and in all, have become a rather costly group. Thus far they have forged a blind trail, closely followed by their equally blind faithful. Yet they have not found an answer, their paintings are poor imitations and their only alter native is to dig deeper into the bank ac count. On the other hand, for you and me, the Mundelein students, the search has long since been over. It was over the first time when an angel told a startled world. HE IS RISEN, HE IS X()T HERE. It was over the first time we said the Apos tle's Creed. AND HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. SITTETH AT THE RKillT 11 AND OF COL). Yes, it's over this April 17, 1949. when you open vour missal to page 155 and read, i AR lt; gt;SE AND AM STII.I. WLTII Tl I ICE' or again THIS IS THE DAY WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE We are the Columbuses. the DaVincis, the Galileos of 1949, who have within easy reach the map, the picture, the whole an swer. WHO HY DVIXC DESTROYED OUR DEATH AND HY RISING AGAIN RESTORED OUR LIFE. On Easter Sunday, more than on any other day. we must remember those who are still exploring. We must not forget those who have no true revelation, no real creed, and no thumb-worn 35*cent missals. l/t/hat Ljoed Jn ... Caster is going to be a little late this *-* year. Because of the slower maturing period, the leaves and flowers of the Eas ter lily will be larger. Easter tardiness will give us a chance, if we are not already awakened to Christ's coming Passion, to get a late start on helping those Easter lilies of sacrifice and penance bloom more brightly on Master Sunday morning. YV/c freshmen point with pride to the Na- tional Convention of Bacteriologists which recently met to conduct its tradi tionally scholarly sessions. Imagine the surprise of the delegates when they dis covered an 18-year-old college freshman among those selected to read papers bc- for the entire assembly It was heartening to read Rather Keller's kind letter to the Mundelein student body telling them of the success of their lira vers. A condensed version of YOU CAN SAVE THE WORLD is in ihe April issue of THE READER'S DI GEST now on the newsstands, and a simi lar article will appear in the May issue of OMNI HOOK. If in a few months, prayer has had such success, who knows with continued effort the article may some day make THE DALLY WORKER. The success of the Shamrock Festival, grand finale to the NFCCS Student Relief drive, held March 17. at Loyola's Alumni gymnasium, represents the first major attempt at unifying the efforts of the six colleges in the Chicago area. All who took part are to be congratulated. A letter from Kevin Mulhern of Loy ola, chairman of the Festival, commends the Mundelein girls who contributed their time and effort to the I* estival. These in clude Patricia Dannehy, regional co-chair man of the Relief Drive. Helen Meindl. Hetty Tholl, Juanita Gilmore, Mary Ann Mollohan. Marilyn Brown, and Marion Travaelini. Freshmen Up for Term Paper, That Is The seniors recently released a graphic study of how to pass comprehensives. It is the purpose of this paper to enlighten befuddled freshmen about creative approaches to their research papers. A large percentage of dull people will undoubtedly follow the tedious directions on the Research Paper Outline. Bookstore, small fee.) There are always those, however, who see right through such confusion. To these, we say. consider seriously whether or not you want a topic. If you feel you must have one. make quite sure that it sounds learned; that you are totally uninterested in it: that there is no available material about it; that it could never be discussed in the number of words yon are permitted lo write. The topic, of course, is a mere formality and may be disregarded without interrupt- in;/ the continuity of the text. Once the topic is disposed of. you compile a bibliography. A bibliography is a list of books, pamphlets, and magazines which have nothing to do with the topic but which are deceptively titled to lead you to believe they cover all its aspects. Pay no attention to the advice given you about taking notes. The creative approach ignores all such routine. By all means read but take no notes at all for several days, during which time you will completely forget the important ideas. Take pains to omit quotation marks from direct quotes and to ignore page references. . Ill the directions you will receive about dividing your notes into topics and sub topics is part of a plot to consume your excess lime. The correct and sensible proced ure is to gather all your note cards together, shuffle them carefully, and deal them into three stacks, the Introduction, the Body, and the Conclusion. From these three stacks construct your Outline. The Outline is imperative. Remember you must have footnotes. Footnotes are used in scholarly and technical treatises and books lo indicate that Ihe writer is loo lacy to interpret another author's ideas. They are relatively unimportant, and it is silly to spend a lot of time spacing them at the bottom of the page. Just crowd them in anyplace. NO ONE will care least of all your English teacher. For a 20-page pamphlet elaborating in the scholarly discussion above, please send 10 cents to cover mailing costs to Locker 1949. You'll be sorry all the rest of your life.

We've found that we aren't just names or numbers. We're all individual per sonalities. We freshmen are especially consoled by the fact that, al though we are freshmen once again,we aren't reduced to utter nothing ness after the thrilling, throbbing glory of senior year. We each have something all oun own. It's not just a locker or a seat in class. It's an intangible something, but the manifestations and effects of it are far-reaching and concrete. We feel that we have really come into our own. All of Mundelein's extra-curricular activities have been opened to us. Many of us are swimming our way to glory with the Terrapins. Others are giving expression to our dramatic inclinations under the direction of the Laetare Players. The Service club affords us opportunities to show our competence and willingness to help. Above all, in the peaceful atmosphere of Stel la Maris Chapel, we have that sense of oneness, united by our common bond. After six months, the Faculty and students have made us feel that we've been here always and that we are a necessary and welcome part of Mundelein. In the Sodality We like . . . the dynamic informality of Mundelein's Sodality a living proof that religion, sometimes falsely judged synonymous with ceremony, is, in truth, at all times and in all places the essence of ex istence. In this friendly, small-group atmosphere the sodalist, possessedof a topic from the excellent study program, loses the self-consciousness to which her seeming inadequacy gives rise and earnestly offers ideas, be they humble or profound. Always there is the guidance of the more learned students who view the questions in a philosophic light. Sodality, through mental prayer and group discussion, prevents its members from assuming an attitude of smug complacency, by developing in them a constant awareness of their appalling imperfection and their utter dependence upon God. With the Upperclassmen I We like . . . All for One and One for All as our motto. It's not freshmen against juniors or sophomores against seniors. And it's not you're a freshman, I'm a senior, I can't talk to you. We don't have any rules that say Juniors talk only to seniors, and seniors talk only to Cod. You're Blanche Schwepper, Mundelein, not Blanche Schwepper, Freshman or Senior. It's what you are, not who you are that counts. The upperclassmen are more than mere examples to us. They are not put on pedestals or held up as the shining lights of Munde lein. There is no need to sit in awe of the high and mighty seniors for the seniors are too human to be high and mighty. They worry and laugh and love just like the rest of the student body. And they make the freshmen a part of themselves by sharing their good fortune, their ideas, their experiences. Using our Reading Lists We like . . . The Reading Plan. Hands joined, and in wide-eyed apprehension, two newcomers entered Mundelein last fall. Each was truly on trial. Each was in a sense hired, since its service toward the perpetuation of Mundelein tradition was to be elevated. The Class of '52 and the College Reading Plan, defendants in our trial by hire, control vital phases of Mundelein's future. Obviously, the success of the former cannot as yet be determined. In estimating that of the latter, however, several factors are influential in establish ing its inevitable success. Guidance of student reading toward the attainment of knowledge and culture will not only result in the imparting of ideas and ideals, but will also assist in the fulfillment of the Catholic college's three fold function, namely the spiritual, intellectual, and social develop ment of the student. At Mundelein, the Reading Plan has been introduced experimental ly, its instrument being the College Book List. Outstanding literature of all types, in all fields, and representing not only America but foreign countries as well, is contained in the list. It can readily be seen that as a guide to supplementary reading the list is indispensable as well as convenient and inviting. IK- in Ap ( Die ICI ihe he h s ma: mu on I li S ma i nil BC ni Lou lir
