Prompted.by a group of seniors disturbed by the effects of the 3-3 system, the Academic Affairs Com mittee held an open meeting Feb. 21 in the Northland. In a two-hour session, about 80 students, faculty and administration representatives discussed current academic atti tudes within the College. Initial spokesman for the sen iors, Maureen Sullivan, contended that the term system has gener ated problems which were either absent or less severe under the semester plan. Specifically, Mau reen charged, the term system allows the student no time to absorb class material, or pursue further study promotes too much stress on producing papers encourages large and poorly structured classes and offers a limited class selection. While the term system allows more time per class period, Mau reen asserted, courses are too rushed for students to comprehend material, which they are often ex pected to know thoroughly for an other course. Furthermore, Maureen explained, classes designed to provide in- depth study produce a hurried, gen eral education instead. Because general testing is at a Summer Studies Survey Bible in Secular World David, Paul and Cox cried Nei ther is my house so great with God that He should make with me an eternal covenant firm in all things and assured. For He is all my sal vation ... Similarly this dy namic interpretation of theological thought establishing God, rather than a structural institution, as the source of salvation, thematically describes Mundelein's Summer Re- Slate Corporation Head For Graduation Address Patrick L. O'Malley, president and chief executive officer of Canteen Corporation, will deliver the 1967 commencement address June 11, Daniel G. Cahill, vice-president in charge of development, disclosed. O'Malley began his career in 1932 as a salesman for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Boston, Mass., his home town. In the 30 years he was associated with Coca-Cola, O'Malley rose to the position of vice-presi dent and general sales manager. Active in civic, religious and educational affairs and in sales execu tive and merchandising organizations, O'Malley is chairman of the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Chicago, a member of the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Council of the United States, the Chicago chap ter of the American Red Cross, the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Chicago Boys' Clubs. The speaker has an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from St. Pro- copius College at Lisle, 111., where he is a member of the board of trustees. He is also a fellow of St. Joseph's College at Rensselaer, Ind., and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from St. Joseph's in 1965. ligious Education Program offered June 26-Aug. 4. STABILIZED IN ITS SEVENTH year the summer session is de signed for those engaged in the apostolate of religious education. All courses carry undergraduate credit and lead to a certificate with the completion of 18 hours, or a major concentration with the com pletion of 24 hours. The program further opens its facilities to students finding it nec essary or convenient to augment their theology requirements during the summer months. THE COURSES OFFER a kalei doscope survey of Christian thought spanning the investigation of Old Testament revelation to the encroaching secularization in con temporary society. The session further offers com plimentary courses such as the Montessori method designed to de velop the art needed to teach re ligious education. Climaxing the program a series of guest lecturers, including Father Alphonse Nebreda, S.J., missionary and eminent religious educator, and Rabbi Tanenbaum, dierctor of the American Jewish Committee, will present the evolving contemporary thought of religious and education leaders. minimum during a term, Maureen continued, many grades are based solely upon performance on mid term and final tests, while a stu dent's total effort may be ignored. On the other hand, she added, some courses require an unreasonable number of papers, which simply cannot be compressed into an 11- week term. Class size and course selection are also serious restrictions, seniors contended. Many seminars, Maureen stressed, have enrollments of 40-80 students, creating serious obstacles to discussion. At the same time, she said, students are not free to take these classes another term, since many of them are offered only every other year. Accompanying these difficulties is the myth of the perfect sys tem, Maureen continued. For many students, the term system offers no room for mistakes or pro gram changes. A student who wishes to change her major or make up a course is required to go to summer school or take two four- course terms in one year, senior Sue Balser said. For the 11th course she would have to pay extra tuition, which would not be re quired under the semester system. branched out to the intricacies of communication, counseling and the College image. Senior Diane Sargol contended that the long-lamented communica tions breakdown has contributed to student difficulties. Students don't know who to approach for answers, she said, or often can't get them in time to really solve their prob lem. Others agreed that counselor- instructors are often ill-informed on courses outside their field. Challenging the projected Mun delein image, senior Jean Durall said that the student body does not fit the 3-3 system, or at least the image of it that the College is try ing to project. Conversely, Anndrea Zahorak, senior, charged that the faculty has failed to note increasing student involvement in the complex world around them, while junior Maureen McLain countered that students just don't pay the faculty the com pliment of treating them as human beings. Speaking as a teacher and admin istrator, Dr. Norbert J. Hruby, vice president, said that too often the Mundelein girl, not realizing her own opinions are desired, tries to psych out the teacher.

Furthermore, Maureen charged, it is impossible for a girl to gradu ate from Mundelein in four years with enough credits to be a sec ondary teacher in the public school system. Maureen concluded that academic pressures have combined to pro duce an atmosphere of discontent ment, dissatisfaction and disgust among many Mundelein students. The development of the total per son has been so far retarded that social life is now considered nil here, she said, adding that even programs such as Speak-Easy, Candlelighting and the dorm Crib Ceremony no longer elicit interest. As Maureen completed her pre pared speech, the discussion In conclusion, Sister Mary Griffin, academic dean, explained that education at Mundelein seems to be one of great unevenness to day. The 3-3 term system was initiated to take pressures off those students who were carrying too many hours, she said. Now our task is to take off the pressures of the 3-3 system, by defining the problems and restudying them. A subsequent Academic Affairs Committee meeting was held Feb. 27 in the Northland. Sophomores Kathy Flynn and Geraldine Kurtz presented a survey taken of resi dent sophomores concerning the ba sic studies program, the question of advisors and possible remedies for the problems they present.
