Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Nov. 6,1963 Active Juniors, Seniors Democrats Greet Officials Qualify for 'Who's Who' t. Governor Discusses Politics Group Meets Twenty-one juniors and seniors were nominated this month for election to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Representing approximately 750 colleges and universities, students are selected on the basis of citizenship, scholarship and participation in academic and extracurricular activities. Members of the junior and senior classes and faculty members voted for those who best fit the qualifications. The 1963-64 volume of the directory will contain brief biographical data on the nominees and each will receive a certificate of recognition. Who's Who was first published in 1934, but Mundelein participated for the first time two years ago. Members from the present senior class include Mary Ellen Bradley, Peggy Clements, Mary Ellen Cronin, Roselle Delisi, Marianne Littau, Sheila Prindiville, Irene Skala, Patti Tighe and Pam Wilt. * Politics at the state level will be the subject of Samuel H. Shapiro's talk, Nov. 19. Sponsored by the Young Democrats, the Lieutenant Govenor of Illinois will address students in McCormick Lounge at 3:30 p.m. The YD's plan to study politics on the ward, county, city, state and national level this year. Represen tatives of the various levels will be invited to address the club. The first speaker, Shapiro has served as state secretary and treas urer of the Illinois branch of the Committee Advisor Visits Library; Commends Book-sharing Program Professor William Ready, librar ian at Sacred Heart University and advisor to the Library Committee of the Institutional Analysis, vis ited the campus Oct. 20-22 and met with members of the faculty and the administration. At the Library Committee meet ing of the Institutional Analysis, Mr. Ready expressed his genuine interest in Mundelein's academic and administrative policies. Speak- about the co-operative work being done by the Catholic libraries of the area regarding periodical lit erature, he advocated further co operation in this area and com mended the Loyola-Mundelein li brary policy of book sharing on a reference-use basis. Ready's suggestions for ordering books from foreign countries were valuable since he has been respon sible for the new library collections of Sacred Heart and York Uni versity in Toronto. Gorer Urges Nation's End Professor Ready's formal report of recommendations will be sub mitted to the Advisory Committee of the Institutional Analysis. Mr. Ready, known for his column in the San Francisco Monitor, is the author of the novel The Poor Hater and a collection of short stories, The Great Disciple. His background includes working at the Stanford University Library, surveying San Francisco metropoli tan-area libraries and serving as librarian at Marquette University. His present position is librarian of Sacred Heart University in Bridge port, Conn. (Continued from Page 1) considers compro- sible building block of a North At lantic Community? Yes, if we had enough time, he quipped. revelation and mise on any serious point deviation from the truth. The Man in the Right depends on codified laws. He considers those who do not acknowl edge the rule of law unreliable and refrains from negotiating too ex tensively. The Moral Individual de pends on conscience fortified by Scripture. He considers com promise desirable if no princi ples are betrayed and if it com plies with both parties' natural justice. For all the apparent incompara- bility, Gorer does not consider a North Atlantic Community impos sible: I think it is essential as a pre liminary to that world community which we must devise if the human race is to continue to exist. Human beings invented the nation-state; it should not be beyond human wit to devise another form of organiza tion now that the nation-state has become too dangerous. In a question period, Gorer fur ther clarified his position. He ex plained that North Atlantic Com munity does not necessarily imply single society. Such a community would be viable if conceived poli tically and to some extent economi cally if enough consideration were given to religious differences. When asked to list what building blocks of culture North Altantic nations share in common, Gorer named Chris tianity, law and organization of large-scale industry but added that if the study of any of this apparent unity is precise, the variance must be apparent. Why didn't Gorer use Arnold Toynbee's term Western Civiliza tion in his paper? Because I'm an anthropologist, he isn't. He deals with documents, I deal with people, the Englishman retorted. Would intermarriage be a pos- Young Democrats. After obtaining his degree from the University of Illinois, Sha piro practiced law in Kanka kee, 111. and then served 14 years in the House of Representatives. During this time, Shapiro was one of the Mr- Shapiro co-sponsors of the Illinois Mental Health and the Mental Deficiency Codes. He also sponsored the es tablishment of a permanent com mission on mental health, a major step of the General Assembly in this field for the state of Illinois. Shapiro is presently the chairman of this commission. Seniors Pick Top Pumpkins Grinning jack-o-lanterns and cool ghouls were familiar sights at Mundelein this Halloween. The seniors sponsored their class day, Oct. 30 featuring a pumpkin- carving contest between depart ments. First prize was awarded to psychology's Split Personality, second to journalism's I Feel Safe and third to economics' Stock Market. The sophomores carried on the Halloween theme with a party Oct. 31 for the freshmen. The Miss Cool Ghoul contest was won by Andrea Zahorek, second place, Celeste Sul livan and third place, Myria Jist. State Officer Being informed by political speakers and participating in cam paigns are the main purposes of the Young Democrats according to Jack Jennings, president of the college organization in Illinois. The Loyola senior, who addressed the first meeting of the Mundelein Club Oct. 22, said that Mundelein should look forward to the coming year with great enthusiasm for the club shows as much potential as it did last year when it won the award for the most active YD col lege club in Illinois. The state president assured the audience that with active partici pation of college educated people in political life, a more sophisticated political understanding would de velop. Studying politics on the state and local level, commented Jack, is accomplished through five ma jor areas. First, the college club should draw attention to itself. Second, individual members should encourage others to become active and well-informed Democrats. Third, precinct work aids members toward a deeper understanding of political organization. In the fourth and fifth areas, the members receive a clearer view of the Democratic platform by attending conventions. In closing, Jack reminded his au dience that they, as women, have a definite place in politics. Since most of you will likely be mothers and wives, you will carry a large influence over your families, he said. One cannot consider Gorer's pro posals without asking several ques tions : While the UNESCO approach stresses intercultural communica tion, would not a loose aggregation of separate cultures foster cultural isolationism? If a community of cultures such as Gorer suggests is natural to man, why has man not devised one earlier, and if necessary military protection and economics forced na tion-states upon man, how can man be assured that these needs will ef fectively be erradicated while non- North Atlantic Community nations do not subscribe to Gorer's system? Finally, can man adjust to such a drastic change from the existing nation-states system satisfactorily and quickly enough? Discrimination D.J Not. 13 Second NF Regional Meets Here; Fr.DehnerTo Keynote Ecumenism Mundelein College will host the second regional meeting entitled NF for Non-Affiliates for the North Central Region of the NFCCS, Nov. 16. Reverend Eugene Dehner, O.S.B., NF national chaplain, will give the keynote address on Ecumenism. The purpose of the meeting is to interest non-affiliated schools in NF and its programs. To do this, Ann Foxen, Mundelein's senior dele gate, is bringing in several national officers and representatives from other regions to speak. Jim O'Donnell, NF national presi dent and '63 graduate of St. Anselm's College, Manchester, N.H., will ex plain the national and international aspects of the Federation. Mr. O'Donnell will also speak to rep resentatives from colleges and uni versities through this area. Mar- Sister Exhibits Silk Print Abstracts; Alumna, Students Display Paintings Serigraphs by Sister Mary Corita, I.H.M., will be exhibited in Mundelein's Gallery Eight until Nov. 25 and paintings by alumna Ursula B. Randall '47 will be shown in Gallery Four until Nov. 11. At the same time the Mundelein student art exhibit will be shown at the Monroe Gallery. Sister Mary Corita, known for her exuberant and colorful silk screen abstracts, bases most of her serigraphs on Biblical scenes or devotional poetry. Critics have praised her work as the innocent art of a child through which her maturity shines. Regarded as one of the foremost artists in her field, Sister Corita combines a teaching vocation with the art of print making. Professor of art at Im maculate Heart College of Los Angeles, Sister has won more than 35 prizes in national and international print shows. Her serigraphs have been exhibited in more than 71 one-man shows in museums, galleries and universities throughout the United States, Can ada and Spain. Sister Blanche Marie, B.V.M., chairman of the art department, commented that Sister's work is important to the student body because it is repre sentative of a contemporary religious art. Often religious art takes the form of a pre-Renaissance expression and is not a product of the artist's own culture. I hope that the students will discuss Sister's prints with this in mind. Miss Ursula Randall's work will include paint ings she did during her recent visit to Mexico. The Mundelein student art exhibit at the Monroe Gallery, 59 East Monroe, will include oil paintings, water color paintings, sculptures and prints. Some of the students contributing to the exhibit are Barbara Coradini, Judy De Jan, Barbara Glaser, Phyllis Kozlowski, Cathy Matejovsky, Fran Rock- aites, Kathy Schevers and Sandee Schneider. The winners of the Summer Art Competition and the Dimensions '63 Competition are also displaying their work. The exhibit will continue until Nov. 30. quette University, University of Detroit, Loyola, St. Louis Univer sity, DePaul, St. Joseph's College, Lewis College, Rosary, Xavier among others will be represented by delegates from their student governments. The national regional affairs vice president, Elaine Ball of Ro sary Hill College, Buffalo, N.Y., will discuss The Regional Aspect of the Federation. Pat Kenny, national executive vice president of NFCCS, will speak on The Campus Programs of NF. A coffee hour will be held Sat urday from 3-4 p.m. enabling the delegates to discuss NF in an in formal setting. During this same time period, a Student Govern ment President and Moderator's Workshop is scheduled. It will outline the importance and im pact NF has to offer to Student Government. Following the coffee hour and workshop, Paul Creelan, national programs vice president, will re open the session, with a talk on the special projects and programs effected by NF this year and the programs carried on in the past. Delegates to the regional meeting at Mundelein will hold a Bible Vigil to close the day.
