Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER April 5, 1967 Si f dcrapinad pina News Briefs Junior Class Day: The theme of Saturday Night at the Movies will prevail at the April 5 junior class day. Mass at 4:30 will start the activities, followed by dinner in Lewis Center at 5:15 and entertain ment beginning at 6:15. The evening will culminate with a mock ceremony of the Academy Awards. LaVerne Notto and Donna Small, in charge of the day, are encouraging juniors to come dressed as their favorite film characters. Tickets are now on sale in the junior locker room at 1.60. Library Convention: Sister Clara Bormann, head librarian of Munde lein College and Mrs. Charles Stearns, reference librarian, attended the 43rd Annual Catholic Library Association Convention at the Pick-Carter Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, March 27-30. The theme of the convention, Involvement Today for Tomorrow, was the topic of discussion at the closed meeting of the Advisory Council of the joint Catholic Library Association and American Library Associa tion committee of which Sister Clara is a member. Art Exhibit: Seniors Pat Lenihan and Bonnie Rochetto will exhibit their works in Gallery 8 until April 27, while Barbara Wright and Rosemary Panther display their collections in Gallery 4. Fellowship Grant: Nancy Vandenberg, senior physics major, has been awarded an undergraduate grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the 1967 Summer Institute in Space Physics at Columbia University. Her summer studies of experimental work in progress will include field trips to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Tex., and the Launch Operation Center in Cape Ken nedy, Fla. Rejecting fellowship offers from the University of Mary land and the University of Hawaii, Nancy will pursue her graduate studies toward a Ph.D. in astronomy at Georgetown University. The fellowship at Georgetown includes a tuition grant and a 2,600 yearly stipend. German Study: Donna Miller and Ellen Gutenkauf, sophomores, will leave April 6 for a three-month study tour of Germany. The pro gram is sponsored by The American Language and Educational Center (AMLEC) of Michigan State University and is open to students throughout the U.S. Donna and Ellen will attend Goethe Institute and take a placement test which places them in courses at the appropriate German level. They will live with the same German family Evelyn Strache, senior, lived with when she participated in the study tour two years ago. Nine hours of credit will be given for the class work which is confined to mornings, leaving afternoons free for travel to Bonn, Berlin and other Gentian cities and sites of interest. Public Relations: Miss Ruth Vogel, a 1967 graduate of Northwestern University, has joined Mundelein's public relations staff as the new assistant director. A political science major, Miss Vogel is cur rently enrolled in the public relations course given by the Publicity Club of Chicago. She was formerly a summer appointee to the Department of State Student Intern Program in Washington, D.C. where she served on the African Affairs desk. Registration Procedure Discards Old System A new and hopefully more effi cient form of registration will go into effect this spring, announced Mary O'Dowd, College registrar. On May 9, 16 and 23, freshmen, sophomores and juniors will ar range their academic schedules for the coming year. Instead of sign ing for courses by title for a cer tain term, as was previously done at pre-registration, students will sign up for all courses specifying term, days and times for each. Then if a section is overloaded a new one can be opened. The new system will eliminate the formal day of registration in the gym when students had to pro cure their instructor's approval and their advisor's approval for the second time. If a student wishes to rearrange her schedule at a later date she will follow the present method of procuring an add-drop slip from the registrar's office and having it signed by her instructor and ad- THE SKYSCRAPER Mundelein College 6363 Sheridan Rd., Chicago, 111. 60626 SPRING IS SUCH a hackneyed, belabored subject that every year an overabundance of cliches seems to crop up with the crocuses. Com posers of Paeans to Spring (one of the more demanding media around) are torn between e. e. cuni- mings' lower case cuteness and Tennessee Williams' sultriness. In the happy absence of daffodils, as phodel, and other folksy fixtures of Spring on campus, odes must be restricted to a few scraggy trees, a clump of grey, somber buildings threatened by a somewhat grey, somber lake. Still, there is the in determinate greenery incongru ously encroaching behind the Sky scraper, the tenacity of students who sit on a rocky beach in a driving rain and will the sun to come out, the arrogance of would- be navigators who chart their schedules by the sun. And now, lest the lilting lyricism bebcome too oppressive, we will move on to: BUSINESS AND FINANCE DEPT. Recent tuition hikes may seem unsettling until you realize that by some inexplicable but un deniably benevolent process you will have 30. To dispel any fur ther suspicions of mercantilism at Mundelein, and also to prove that our advertising zeal has its equal somewhere, let collective attention be called to Roosevelt University's Time magazine ad offering itself as protege to the world's unat tached philanthropists. Roosevelt's assertion that its students not to mention Chicago would cher ish the name of a million dollar donor in their hearts for genera tions to come demands at least as much reader credulity as the por trayal of the average Mundelein- ite as a super-literate linguist. Means aside, Mundelein's ends; the attraction of prospective students, not patrons, are, if nothing else, altruistic. EXTENSION OF THE WEEK DAY dorm curfew to 11 p.m. sig nifies not only another concession to the Age of Enlightenment, but the rapid changeover of the Cur few from a moral institution to a mere function of how late the Head Resident (in common parlance, keeper of the keys) can stay up at night. IRATE THEATER-GOERS DEPT.: The apparent slight of Social Comment and Philosophical sophistry in favor of slapstick in the bestowal of that coveted yard stick of artistry, the Revue Tro phy, unnerved many, especially seniors who felt they deserved a better return on the time diverted from their studies to the Revue. However, the juniors were admit tedly winners unparalleled in at least two categories: Most Re sourceful Use to-date of Linen- of-the-Week and Most Original Victory Celebration. PERHAPS IT WAS OVERCON- FIDENCE bred by the hope that MUNDELEIN IS A DEMOCRACY Let's Prove It run for m.s.c. the lottery will soon supply them with miserable company, but a small naval contingent advanced to the very brinks of the Tearoom Saturday and brazenly solicited female companionship, leaving sev eral image - conscious Mundelein girls severely unstrung. May we suggest less laxity on the part of the authorities in anticipation of future outrages (like leftist agita tion outside the Tearoom). IN A FINAL CAPITULATION to the vagaries of their incorrigible elevator, plucky Northlanders have placed milestones at all six flights of their ponderous ascent, exhort ing the footsore in the name of the calories. EITHER MATURITY is on the rise or ingenuity on the wane, but April Fool's Day was unprecedent- edly tame this year.
