Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER April 12,1967 Si udcrapinad News Briefs MSC Nominations: Formal nominations for the 1967-68 Mundelein Stu dent Congress offices will be made at an assembly April 18 in Mc Cormick Lounge. A nominee's platform must be in the MSC office, 709, and her nomination slip in the envelope on the MSC board in the lounge area by Friday, April 14. A student cannot run for more than one of the 18 offices nor nominate more than one person. For further qualification and procedure rules, all candidates should check an MSC Officer's Handbook. Regular, dues-paying students will elect the new officers by plurality vote, April 26-26. Postpone Benefit: The Second Annual Mundelein College Benefit, sched uled for April 28, has been postponed until the fall of '67. Bob New hart, who was to perform in the Benefit, with popular vocalists Lois Hunt and Earl Wrightson, will be featured in the October entertain ment. Anniversary Dinner: An anniversary dinner marking Sister Ann Ida Gannon's ten-year presidency of Mundelein College will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Conrad Hilton Hotel, Oct. 14. A com mittee of prominent Chicago-area men and women are organizing the dinner. Spring Mixer: Spring '67 will be the theme of the MSC all-school mixer, Friday, April 14 from 9-12 p.m. in McCormick Lounge and Lewis Center. MSC social chairman Aldine Favaro announced that Loyola's Rhythm's Children will be featured at the year's third all-school mixer. Admission to the mixer is 1. Girls in slacks or shorts will not be admitted. Dissolve Board: The Club Coordination Board (CCB), has been dis solved by unanimous vote of the MSC. Cathy Flavin, CCB chairman, made the proposal April 5 to disband because she felt the board does not function according to its purpose. According to its con stitution, the purpose of the Club Coordination Board shall be to effect cooperation in promoting the programs of the individual clubs and organizations. Cathy contends that of the 12 active clubs on campus, only the Women's Athletic Association applied to CCB for help this year and their request was for funds. Next year five of the 12 clubs are disbanding. Library Week: Reading is What's Happening, is the slogan of Na tional Library Week, April 16-21. Sister Clara Bormann, head li brarian of Mundelein College, will open the week by speaking to the Parent-Teachers group at Presentation Grade School, operated by the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sister Clara will emphasize the importance for children to read by weaving into her talk, slides and the story Rufus M. by Eleanor Estes. Rufus M. concerns the adventures of a youngster unable to procure a library card because he is too young, but nothing daunts him in his determination to learn to read. Sister hopes that adults will also be awakened to the importance of reading. Charity Project: This year's MSC charity project is a co-sponsorship of the rummage sale at an inter-city parish, St. Dominic's, 357 W. Locust. The MSC committee, under the chairmanship of Gerry Kurtz and Beth Pfordresher, made the choice of a local charity from such possibilities as the National March of Dimes, the Florence, Italy Flood Fund and a Mission in Kentucky. Students are to place clothing, books, toys and any usable rummage in the designated boxes in the class locker rooms by April 14. Committee members will then transport the items to St. Dominic's and help set up the ta bles for the rummage sale. French Exhibit: An exhibit of charts, graphs and photos on the French system of education will be held through April 14 on the third floor of the Skyscraper. The exhibit was loaned by the French Cultural Services in Chicago and is the first of a series to be sponsored by Mundelein's language departments. ONCE AGAIN, pickings are slim in the MSC nominations depart ment. By some mystery of matu ration, student offices have lost the prestige of the personality cult to become the sordid, day-to-day drudgery of the administrator. Gone is the intrigue, the tension, the unpredictability of the close election. Ah, progress. CERTAINLY A COMMENT on creativity in our times is the fact that to date (and it's verging on the 11th hour) the college song contest must make do with only one entry (since the main conten der Blue Skies was graciously withdrawn by its composer to al- THE SKYSCRAPER Mundelein College 6303 Sheridan Rd., Chicago, 111. 60626 low for new blood). So unless this offering is declared musically sound by the music department (which means they'll run it up the flagpole and see whose soprano cracks), the last vestige of anach ronistic alma materism may die out unsung. THE GALLERY 8 art exhibit shows an Enthusiastic Respect for Mankind (capitalized cliches are always more palatable) with the possible exception of the tombstone outside the faculty elevator, a sure sign that some poor soul was in considerately robbed of his neu rotic prop. Such travesties of so cial taboos cannot be brooked. SOCIAL FLUX BUREAU Perhaps because the rising inci dence of residence at Mundelein is giving students all the group iden tity they can stomach, formerly thriving school clubs have either disbanded or become so departmen- tally disjointed that they no longer need coordinating.

We hear there's talk of abolishing HUAC the House Un-American Activities Committee that worthy organi zation which since McCarthy's Reign of Intimidation, has been cramping the guileless gambols of Communists, home-grown Nazis' and other fringe groups. It's get ting harder to define just what constitutes Un-American or dif ferentiate between malevolent and subversive Communists and male volent and ineffectual Communists. The committee has lately threat ened college civil rights and Anti- Draft New Left groups.

Solicitously, Tully Up Code. Why don't you ever hear nostalgic stories about the good old days before Tampax tampons? Just think what women had to go through every month before there were Tampax tampons. Actually, every feature of Tampax tampons was designed to eliminate at least one draw back of the pin-pad-belt con traptions women once had to use: Tampax tampons don't show when they're properly in place, so women now can wear their most attractive clothing any time. Odor can't form when you use Tampax tampons. Tampax tampons can't chafe. Your hands never have to touch the tampon. Do away with disposal prob lems. The tampons and their applicators flush away dis creetly. Tampax tampons are so small they can be tucked away incon spicuously in purse or drawer. No wonder millions of wom en, married and unmarried, say three cheers for the good new years Tampax tampons have brought to them.
