She also supported a resolution condemning the action of Catholic University officials when they barred four contemporary theologians (Fathers Diekmann, Kung, Murray and Weigel) from appearing on campus because they represented a very definite atti tude in regard to certain ecclesias tical matters.

Assign Tutors The fall project will resemble the summer program in many ways. Each tutor will be given one or two pupils for a period of one hour twice a week. The program, although coordi nated by Mundelein and IIT, is financed by the Chicago Housing Authority and is counseled by one of their community and tenant re lations aides, Mr. Robert Ballinger, a 1952 graduate of Loyola Univer sity. Name Student Directors The student directors are John Dory and Joe Pakovits of IIT, and Mary O'Brien of Mundelein. All are juniors. The summer program proved to be moderately successful with 58 pupils taking part. It is hoped that this fall there will be 125. September 19 SAC All-College Meeting 20 Whew Day (Yes, you made it thru the first week ) 21 Happy Feast Day, Sister Mary Mat thew 22 Night of the Chartreuse Contact lenses ... 23 Feast of St. Linus 24 Concert-Lecture: NBC Artist Showcase 25 Residents' dinner with those Loyola men CALENDAR Re-present Film; Aim at Undecided Some 25,000 students in Chicago- land high schools can be expected to give up their education during the 1963-64 school year according to the award-winning documentary telecast The Drop Out repeated Wednesday, Sept. 11. The major reason for showing the documentary again was the hope that more drop outs or poten tial drop outs would view the film and react favorably. Drop outs themselves explained why they left school; parents of drop outs expressed their feelings, and the action taken to help these youths was explained. Drop outs are always the last hired and the first fired in a world which demands training and skills they don't have. But tutoring of fers hope. Nome Director Of Development James Richards, former instruc tor of history, has been appointed director of development for the Col lege by Sister Mary Ann Ida, presi dent. The purpose of this new of fice is to coordinate the fund-rais ing activities of the school and to assist in planning various phases of expansion and development. According to Mr. Richards, the title, director of development has a friendlier sound than fund raiser. One of the programs planned for this fall will be a campaign to off set the cost of the land purchased by the college south of the library. Square foot lots of the lakefront property will be sold in an effort to raise funds to build necessary fa cilities for the college. Mr. Richards received his bache lor's degree from Notre Dame Uni versity and did graduate work at Roosevelt and Georgetown Univer sities. He has been on the faculty for two years.
