The Women's Auxiliary, Presi dent's Council, newly formed Wom en's Board, Alumnae Association and Mundelein Student Congress will join Sister Ann Ida Gannon, B.V.M., College president, and John Bartolomeo, architect of the library, in the groundbreaking ceremonies.

Vol. XXXVII Mundelein College, Chicago 26, 111., Sept. 30, 1966 'Fantastiks' Tops Culture Programs The 3 million structure is ex pected to be completed within 15 to 18 months, pending the amount of work done before severe winter weather sets in. The revised architect's plan, which pictures a structure com parable in design to Loyola's new science building, proposes a two- story building with a ground-level floor. The entire structure will be of pre-cast concrete and floor-to- ceiling tinted windows. According to Mr. Cahill the building will have about as much area as the originally planned ten-story structure. Only the design of the building has been changed. When opened, the center will house the library and an audi torium. The auditorium, which will hold 400, will be equipped with mo bile walls to permit the division of the room into four lecture halls. Books in the library will be clas sified by departments and will form a periphery around the individual study carrels. This will permit a student to study a specific subject in an area surrounded by the books she will use. According to Mr. Cahill, the pro jected plan for the building calls for two or three additional floors for science lecture halls and laborator ies. He said there also is room for an underground parking lot for about 60 cars. This, however, will not be developed until a later date. Summer contributions to the de velopment fund as of press date have brought the total to 454,000, Mr. Cahill said. Notable donations have come from People's Gas, Com monwealth Edison, Illinois Bell (an annual gift plus a capital donation A rejuvenated Performing Art ists Series will return to Mundelein this fall. Revived after a year's trial suspension due to poor atten dance, the three-part series will de but with the hit musical comedy, The Fantastiks, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in the College Theater. Subsidized by the College, the Performing Artists Series was de signed to bring quality entertain ment to the campus for a compara tively low ticket price. This year the student-faculty cul tural affairs committee has made changes in the series' format. In stead of scheduling performances for weekday afternoons, the College will sponsor them during the early evening, thereby accommodating commuters and eliminating inter ruption of classes. For faculty and students, sub scription rates are 3.50 for all three performances and individual tickets will be 1.50 each. For guests outside the College, season tickets are 5 and individual tick ets will be 2. Season tickets will be sold in the lounge until Oct. 18. Afterwards, they will be sold indi vidually. Performed with five members of the original New York cast, The Fantastiks is the story of Romeo and Juliet in reverse. Families of the engaged couple feud, believing that their children won't marry if they, as parents, approve of the marriage. Complications arise, however, when the make-believe feud becomes a real one. Musical selections from the play include Try To Remember, Much More and Soon It's Gonna Rain. The cast will include, from the New York company, David Cryer (producer) as the narrator, Alice Gannon as the Girl, Donald Bab- cock (director) as the Boy's Fa ther, George Riddle as the Old Acton and James Cook as the Mute. Also featured are Walter McGinn who recently starred in the Broad way version of The Subject Was Roses, as the Boy, Wayne E. Martens, of the A.P.A. Repertory Company, as the Girls' Father and George Poulos, of Second City in Chicago, as the Man Who Dies. The musical ranges of Bach and other classical composers via the human voice will come to the Col lege Theater when the Swingle Singers perform Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. The French group have often been guests on the Ed Sullivan show. For the finale of the series, the cultural affairs committee is con sidering a modern dance group. Time and date of the performance are undetermined. Suggestions regarding the Per forming Artists Series may be made to members of the cultural affairs committee: Susan Bunce, Betty Grudzien, Dorann Klein, Marjorie Mazzola, Patricia Smith and Nancy Sweeney. Sister Mary A. Cramer, dean of students, and Barbara Gembara are co-chair men of the committee.
