Award Winning Movie Completes Film Series Macario, the final movie in Mundelein's Foreign Film Forum, will be presented April 6, 6:30 p.m., in the college theater. The movie is the winner of the San Francisco Foreign Film Prize of 1961. The 91-minute Mexican film depicts one man's misunderstanding of the meaning of life. It is directed by Robert Galvadon and stars Ignacio Lopez Tarso and Pina Pellicer with photography by Gabriel Figueroa. The movie is based on a story by Bruno Traven. Macario (Tarso) is an im poverished woodcutter who vows, All my life I have been hungry never once have I had enough to eat Now I swear I will not eat again un til I can have a turkey all to myself. I would rather die than be always hungry. But before I die, I want so much to feel full, just once. . . . (Time) His wife (Pellicer) manages to provide Macario with his turkey. Unwilling to share his meal, he takes it into the forest. There he encounters the Devil (Jose Galvez) who asks for a share of the tur key. Macario refuses. The wood cutter then denies a similar re quest from God (Jose Luis Jime nez). But when Death (Enrique Lu- cero) petitions for a share in the feast, Macario relents. Although Death is near, the peasant hopes to gain more time in life by keep ing him busy eating. The woods man's reasoning amuses Death and Macario is rewarded with power to cure the sick with water. With his miraculous water, Macario gains social promi nence. At the height of his power, fate turns her back and the man loses all. Fleeing from ill-fortune, he meets Death a second time in the forest. Ma cario tries to escape, but the grave ultimately claims him. Near Macario's body is dis covered a half-eaten turkey. Student Congress To Replace SAC At its April 1 all-school meeting in the college theater at 12:40, the SAC will present and discuss its new constitution which states that the Council will now be referred to as a Student Congress. The purpose of the new term. Student Congress, is to emphasize the role of student as citizen insofar as she has a responsibility to the surroundings she inhabits, be it school or the community at large. Besides including new purposes and procedures for the Council, the constitution allows for a completely revamped system of representation on SAC. Some of the specific changes are: the executive board will be com posed of a president, vice president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary and treasurer; six dele- gates-at-large will be elected by the student body; one representa tive from each class will be elected by her respective class; chairmen of the Academic Affairs Commit tee, Club Coordination Board, Lec ture Committee, Social Arrange ments Board and Ways and Means Committee will be elected at large and be members of the Student Congress. Two definite changes concern the status of ex-officio members of the Student Congress.
