Mission Week Accents Volunteer Opportunities Presenting a kaleidoscope of lay mission opportunities to the student body are the speakers, films, panels, pamphlets, slides, pictures and bro chures that mark Feb. 24 - March 4 as Mission Week. Sponsored by the Mundelein College Sodality, the Catholic Student Mission Crusade (CSMC) and Young Christian Students (YCS), Mission Week aims to acquaint stu dents with the opportunities for service afforded by the lay missions, A booth in the lounge area functions as a nucleus of the eight days' activity. The first three days of Mission n J 10 Vol. XXXIV Mundelein College, Chicago 26, III., Feb. 26, 1964 Week emphasized summer mission activities outside the state. Infor mation on the Grail summer project (California and Louisiana), the new Glenmary mission volunteer pro gram, summer work in Mexico, at St. Michael's Indian reservation (Arizona) and St. Michael's mis sion (Kentucky) has been distrib uted. Concluding the emphasis on activities outside the state will be a movie and lecture by Sister Mary John, a medical missionary, at 3:40 p.m. in Room 708 today. Service for one to several years will be the theme Feb. 27 to 28 when materials and a film will focus on the Extension Lay Volunteer Program (ELV) and the Papal Volunteers to Latin America (PAVLA). An ELV representative will speak to the seniors at 12:40 p.m. Thursday in the College Theater. The Endowed, a documentary film on the corps of Volunteers, will be shown at 12:40 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. in Room 308. Information on summer opportu nities within the city will be dis tributed March 2-4. Students who are working at the Cabrini Project or who have done summer work at St. Michael's Parish on the near north side will answer questions. A panel moderated by Miss Jacqueline Bergen, assistant dean of women, a former ELV and a worker in the Chicago Area Lay Movement (CALM), will be presented March 4 at 3:40 p.m. Mundelein Opens Downtown Center Introducing Summer Study Program For the first time, Mundelein will offer summer school courses at its new Downtown Center. Classes will be offered in psy chology, philosophy and education at the new branch located in Cathe dral High School, State and Chicago Avenues. Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, explained that the Downtown Center is being opened to enable students working in the Loop or living on the far south or west side to take courses more con veniently. It also makes it possible for students to take more than one class, Sister said. Mundelein Faculty To Instruct Classes, which will begin earlier than usual night courses to allow two periods, will be offered concur rently with the full Mundelein day- evening schedule at the Northside campus. Instructors will be full- time Mundelein faculty members, and registration is not restricted to Mundelein students. Cathedral High School is Chi cago's central co-educational high school. Its facilities are being used through the courtesy of the Right Reverend Monsignor Patrick J. Hayes, rector of Holy Name Cathe dral. This summer Mundelein will also initiate a six-week workshop, Prob lems of the Teacher in an Urban Society, designed for religious or lay teachers in schools in the city's center. Planning Meetings Held Preparatory meetings have been held under the joint direction of Sis ter Mary Ligouri, B.V.M., chairman of the sociology department, Sister Mary St. George, B.V.M., education department and Dr. Russel Barta, chairman of the political science de partment. This workshop represents the first step in Mundelein's endeavor to develop a long-range program for the professional preparation of teachers who plan to enter center- city public and parochial schools, Sister Mary Ignatia explained. Educators Meet Difficulties Sister cited the educational diffi culties confronting educators in that area and said that it is such a big problem that Mundelein as an ur ban college feels a special commit ment to it. The program will eventually in volve the departments of sociology and education. This summer's ini tial effort will bring together spe cialists in urban development, wel fare resources, cultural anthro pology and other fields in an effort to give immediate support to teach ers already engaged in the urban apostolate, Sister explained. An in-service program for lay teachers in Chicago Catholic schools will be the third new summer offer ing at the Mundelein Northside campus. The course will carry six hours' credit in the Teaching of Reading and Organization and Content of Curriculum for primary and inter mediate grade school teachers. It will be offered in day school to teachers not yet certified. A sister director and ten experi enced classroom teachers will pro vide reading demonstrations with children at St. Jerome's School dur ing the last three weeks of the course to give students an oppor tunity for observation and practice teaching under guidance.

Rising costs make the increase necessary, but even the additional 70 per student will not completely compensate for higher .expenditures, Sister explained (see graph). Whenever we raise tuition we are interested in knowing for whom this is a hardship and in finding ways and means of financing it, Sister added. The president also named means of financial aid available on campus: Illinois State scholar ships, federal loans, student employ ment, grants in aid and jobs obtained through the Placement Bureau. That financial assistance is available and that many students qualify is evidenced by totals sup plied by Sister Mary Frederick Cecile, B.V.M., bursar. For the past academic year, Mundelein students received approximately 36,500 in Illinois state scholar ships, 30,250 from student on-cam- pus employment and 18,000 in fed eral loans. This year's preliminary figures exceed even these totals.
