Vol. XXXIV Mundelein College, Chicago Evaluation of Student Questionnaire Results in Major Curriculum Changes Although the complete results of the Institutional Analysis are not yet available, preliminary conclu sions indicate student desire for a wider choice and more flexibility in course offerings in the philosophy and theology departments. The student questionnaire points so clearly to this opinion that some experimental changes in the cur riculum are being introduced im mediately, according to Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean. Major changes in the philoso phy department include the dropping of specific course re quirements in systematic phi losophy and the introduction of non-Thomistic courses. A mini mum of 12 hours will be re quired, but students enrolled in the experimental courses may substitute Man in the Community: The Classical View for Human Nature and Introduction to Philo sophical Problems for Meta physics. The only pre-requisite for Philosophy of Education will be senior standing. The senior theology courses, Spiritual Life and Moral The ology will be combined into one three-hour course, Christian Life. Sophomores will be required to take one three-hour course, Theology of the Liturgy. These courses may be taken either semester and will re duce the theology requirement to 13 hours. A new elective, Johan- nine Literature will be offered. Elimination of Survey of English Literature will allow sophomores to begin work in their major field at the second- year level, said Sister Mary Ignatia. English majors will be required to take four period courses rather than two as pre viously prescribed. Greater emphasis on period courses will give the student deeper understanding of Eng lish literature, said Sister Mary Antonia, B.V.M., chair man of the English depart ment. Non-English majors will substitute Major British Writ ers, a six-hour course. Beginning in September, Foreign Language credit for elementary Ines Friedrichs has been elected 1964-65 Sodality prefect. Other council members include, Carolina Molleda, vice prefect; Lillian Ricci, secretary, and Kathy Krieter, treas urer. French and Spanish will be elimi nated unless these courses are taken as a second language. Students who have had three or four years of the same language in high school will receive college credit for ele mentary courses taken in a second language. Perspectives on Man: Plato to Marcel taught by Sister Mary Jean Michael, B.V.M., will be of fered to junior honor students. Sophomores in the honors program will enroll in Great Ideas in Math taught by Dr. Karl Menger. A new elective, Living and Learning in the Inner City, will be added to the education curriculum. Faculty Committees Offer Reports During Advisory Board's Last Visit New Policy To Replace C-L Series; Change Omits Required Attendance An experimental policy change in the concert-lecture series begin ning in September, has been an nounced by Sister Mary Assisium, B.V.M., dean of students. The col lege will sponsor four performances under the heading Performing Ar tists' Series. Attendance will be optional. Because questionnaire results in dicate 70 per cent of the students are willing to pay for improved per formances, a subscription rate of 4.50 will be charged for the sea son. Tickets for single perform ances may be purchased for 1.50. Sponsor Lectures Two outstanding lecturers, one each semester, will also be spon sored by the college. Attendance at these lectures will be voluntary, and free of charge. Plan Periods In order to provide more time for the improved performances, lec tures, group and class meetings, two free periods will be reserved on Thursday at 12:40 and 1:40. There will be no free periods on Tuesday. Attendance at special convoca- tians such as spring and fall Hon ors Convocations and the Magnifi cat Medal Convocation will be com pulsory. Faculty members of the concert- lecture committee are, Sister Mary Assisium, B.V.M., chairman, Dr. Norbert Hruby, college vice presi dent, Sister Mary Antonia, B.V.M., chairman of the English depart ment, Sister Mary Matthew, B.V.M., chairman of the music department, Sister Mary Jean Michael, B.V.M., chairman of the philosophy depart ment, Mrs. Vere Chappel, art de partment and Miss Gloria Callaci, assistant to the academic dean. List Members Student members are seniors, Sue Kelly, Barbara Jacobs and Carol Jankowski; juniors, Mary Jo Pa- veza and Gerry Bruchhauser, sopho mores, Nancy Magiera and Alice Fetterman; and freshmen, Kathy Landreth and Bobbie Richard. After almost two years of prob ing, and a year and a day after the entire student body completed the Institutional Analysis question naire, the seven faculty Committees will present final reports to Advi sory and Executive Board members nd faculty tomorrow, May 7.

These recommendations were pre sented to the administration in writing April 30 and passed on to the Advisory Committee. Tomor row each of the faculty committees will report orally and in abridged written form. According to Dr. Hruby, the pur pose of the reporting sessions is to give community exposure to all the recommendations, including those contained in minority reports.
