fl Page Two SKYSCRAPER The school year has almost ended Resurrected Christ But The Melody Lingers On . Brings Dawn of Joy The forthcoming all college musicale is appropriately named for a large contingent of local collegians who constitute the Mundelein Un finished Symphony. It seems all too easy for many of us to forget those responsibilities to the student community which are Not In The Books. The come on to our affair cry is frequently unappealing in it self, because the product for sale attracts only a select group. Some projects require time or means which are beyond the giving of many students. But every so often we are presented with a student promo tion which belongs to each and every one of us, one which should make all of us feel a part of something big. Initiated, planned, and presented for approval by a contagiously ambitious student group,, the musicale has three noble objectives: to entertain, to join the variously segregated classes and departments in a common cause, and to'place a stamp of maturity and capability on a primarily student-operated project. The attainment of those objectives can be variously achieved by cast, crew, publicists, ticket sellers, ticket buyers, and general spread the word agents. If you don't fall into one of those categories, check your schedule it probably includes high school civics. This is more in the way of a warning. When the pressure of co- operationists begins after the Easter recess, look on the bright side. They're anxious to make you a part of the complete Mundelein, and you have a certain responsibility to make their job easy. The political year is one of crisis Primaries Prove Prophetic Can you foretell the future? Perhaps not, but you can do something to deter mine it. On April 8, we have no assur ance that it will not be snowing or rain ing or that transportation won't be slower, more wearing than ever. Some of the politicians are hoping that it's going to be terrible for all their opponents and they are also counting on you not to care. Some of them would cheer y6ur indifference and count on you to forget the primary elec tions. Voters in the primaries will elect ward committeemen, delegates to the Presiden tial convention; will nominate party can didates for governor, state's attorney, the various branches of the judiciary. They dictate the presidential preferences. They will name local office holders to shape Illi nois policy for the national conventions. When the delegates elected from each party attend either the Republican or the Democratic convention in July, they will not be pledged to support only the favorite son of their state, but it is customary for them to back the man in dicated highest on the primaries at least on the earlier roll calls. Then they will swing to whichever one of the other nominees they believe deserves their back ing. At each convention Illinois will have the third highest representation in the country. In the past the Illinois delega tion has been known to turn the tide of the voting of the other delegates. Who these delegates are, how they vote, is your responsibility. If you are in doubt about the policies, integrity, or worth of any of the candi dates, read the daily newspapers, news and editorials, and the weekly news mag azines, attend meetings at which you can see and hear the candidates, to obtain a large, clear, and intelligent picture of the men for whom you make yourself respon sible. Whether you are eligible to vote or not pray Pray for those who vote, that they may make wise choices. Pray for the men who are elected, that they may represent us honestly and effectively. The international year one of contrast Two Paths To Peace: Arbitration Or Praise The Iberian peninsula, once flooded with silver from the Americas, once invaded by the armies of Napoleon, experienced in February of 1952 a new invasion, the flood of NATO delegates. In July, it will host a second wave of invaders, the delegates to the Eu- charistic Congress. Circumstances of time and place, however, are the only likenesses found in a study of the diverse objectives of the North Atlantic Treaty organization and the coming Eucharistic Congress. Returning from the Lisbon meetings, Dean Acheson summarized the historic decisions resulting 'from the 14-nation convention. Working with the skeleton of European military security, NATO ad ded 50 armed divisions to put some meat on its dry, already-cracking bones. In keeping with the inflated cost of meat, the price of revitalizing the skele ton will be 25 divisions of American sold iers, and 300 billions of American dol lars. The renovation of the European skeleton will not be complete immediately; nevertheless, the objective of an effective buffer against communist Russia has been begun and the skeleton placed on its feet. NATO has leveled its sights at an altitude of merely military security through force of arms; the Euchar istic Congress will level its sights at an altitude of world security through the force of morality and spiritual unity. Concentrating on a world-display of ven eration to the Blessed Sacrament, the Eu charistic congress-men will determine the course of world safety through devotion to the Eucharist and adherance to the principles of Christian morality. Their objective: salvation of the world through personal sanctification. Joy is one of the virtues which char acterize Christian living. Despite the drain on American man-power and re sources, we are perhaps fortunate to be lead by statesmen who will plan for mili tary security, and churchmen who will outline spiritual security. The objectives of NATO and the Eu charistic Congress are diverse but not contradictory. Both military and spirit ual insecurity are dangerous; moreover, the union of military and moral forces can produce the joy which Christ willed to mankind in His Resurrection. The first words of the Easter Mass, I arose and am still with you, Alleluia, reveal the desire of Christ to have us with Him in peace, in joy, in gladness on Easter morning. Through our lenten preparations, we open our hearts to grace, and ask God to fill them with the only real happiness we can experience in this life. And what need have we of brightness on earth Toiling for a living, subduing our evil tendencies, enduring our everyday trials would sap all our strength if we did not have the risen Christ to give us light, refreshment. At dawn on the first Easter morning, Christ rose, bringing joy to the earth. To this day, He brings peace . . . Peace be with you ... He brings gladness . . . the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord '. . . He brings joy . . . and the Holy Women were filled with great joy Divertissements: Immortal Cast Opens Matthew's Passion Play Well established actors appear to lend something of their prestige to dramatic productions. The lingering presence of Christ imbues the new film, St. Matthew Passion. Unique is the only word for the Robert Flaherty production which uses the Bach Oratorio and the painting and sculpture masterpieces of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries in order to present the Week that eludes human expression. The modern camera finds new depth in each work of art as it seeks out and quick ens into life the Passion figures, while the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, Choir Boys, and choir of the Viennese Sing- verein impart their speech. The works of Da Vinci, Van Eyck, Vel asquez , and others form no cold imper sonal art panorama. Intricately woven together, they succeed in presenting the Passion with more powerful sincerity than could be achieved by living actors. Each artist has contributed his concept of Christ, His followers, and His perse cutors. This diversity creates the illusion of action which is both absent and unnec essary. This short film, which is currently being shown at the World Playhouse, carries the viewer into the midst of Jerusalem, gathers him into their center as the Apos tles at the Last Supper murmur, Is it I, Lord, forces him to shout No as the crowd cries for Barabbas, and leaves him kneeling beneath the Cross.
