Solve Research Problems With Trip to Book Nook by Judy Kiolbassa If the current trend of the annual census crusade has stimulated an undying interest in the pi'esent statistics of Eskimos in Alaska, the little book nook con veniently located on the 405 balcony will help to solve the where of the research problem. THE p f f f on Mary Penkala's dress and the rose in her hand are being ac- I M L HUH companied by the coveted Golden Rose, Mundelein's highest dramatic award. Rose Rohter, last year's winner, presented the award to this year's outstanding senior Laetare player. Mary Penkala Awarded Laetare s Golden Rose Mary Penkala, senior drama major, received Mundelein's highest dz-amatic award, the Golden Rose, at a ceremony in the little theater on Laetare Sunday, March 27. This award distinguishes Mary as the outstanding senior drama major. It was voted upon by the junior and senior drama majors and faculty members in the drama department. MARY, who has been active in all phases of drama for the past four years, plans on teaching after graduation. A few of her many roles in Mundelein plays were the Dowager Empress in Anastasia, the Evil Fairy in Sleeping Beauty, Margaret in The Lady's Not for Burning, and Mrs. Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank. The Golden Rose ceremony was first begun by Sister Mary Leola, former chairman of the drama department, and has continued as a tradition ever since. Last year's recipient, Rose Rohter, presented the award to Mary. FRANCES PAPPALARDO, fresh man, received the pin for the outstand ing Laetare Players pledge at the same ceremony.

Twelve Imported Prints ten Artistic Scene Required Assemblies Questioned (Continued from Page 2) Bright? Various rooms and corridors throughout the college have recently acquired new color and life, thanks to Sister Mary Therese. WHILE IN EUROPE last summer, Sister, who is interested in contem porary art, selected 12 imported prints of such masters as Cezanne, Rouault, Degas, Braque and Oudot. Sister Mary Blanche Marie has been placing the paintings of still life, landscapes and dancers throughout the college where students and faculty may most enjoy them and become con versant about the artists. THIS COMPLEMENTS the art project that the Related Arts club be gan last year. UNDER THE DIRECTION of Sis ter Mary Ligouri, B.V.M., head of the sociology department, this inconspicu ous corner with its well-stacked shelves contains a literal gold mine of information on current events and eco nomic problems, plus a variety of statistics. The 100 manila folders contain an assortment of subjects and conversa tion pieces such as the 26 Julio arm band, a souvenir of the Cuban revolu tion, or The Haiulbook of Junkie Jar gon, a dictionary of the narcotics vo cabulary. The variety of clippings and pamphlets make the handy year-old reference room a must for the curious student. SISTER LIGOURI'S able assistants, Nancy Nowik and Pamela Zaloudek, are responsible for the tabulation and shelving of all the information. The material, which is available to the en tire student body for use in the nooks, deals with legal facts and present world happenings either economic, re ligious or social. LAST MINUTE CHECKING the informative book nook on the 405 creators of the nook's filing system. is done by freshmen Pamela Zaloudek and Nancy Nowik to make sure that balcony is ready for use. They are the ANN ZARLENGA, junior, I think the present system should be retained. The students are only cutting their own throats by missing them. I don't think anyone should go just because they are required but for the benefit. It's part of your college education. JUDY MARIANETTI, junior, I like the second plan because it's like the present system in that you would attend all assemblies except the two that don't appeal to your individual in terests. The first plan eliminates SAC meetings which usually results in com plaints from those who don't attend and don't like what might have been voted on and passed. This second plan will decrease those who want to cut ex cessively, because they won't want to pay 50 cents each time. MICHELE DOLPHIN, sophomore, I like only the concert-lecture re quired because I don't think required assemblies build up integrity in the student who is forced to go. Releasing them from required assemblies would show the student body just how many students have enough spirit to go on their own to those assemblies not re quired. Because of the cost involved in getting artists, we couldn't afford not to show our appreciation, but also the reputation of the school is at stake when outside artists are here. FRAN DYRA, junior, I think the concert-lectures should be required. If they weren't I would skip because of some everyday pressure or job that comes up, and then miss something truly beneficial. ANNE BOEHMER, freshman, I think the concert-lecture should be re quired just because of the cost in volved; it's silly to pay all that money and have an empty auditorium. VIRGINIA LABRAICO, freshman, I think the concert-lectures should be required because of their value. You can get an awful lot out of them. I don't think SAC meetings should be required because if the students aren't interested enough in their school to come on their own, they're not going to participate anyway. MARY JO O'CONNOR, freshman, I think plan 1 is best because: 1. They should be the only assemblies students should be required to go to. They're enjoyable and provide some cultural aspects which you wouldn't get on your own. 2. Also, many stu dents have early classes, and it seems senseless to wait around several hours when you could go home and do some thing more profitable. VINETTA GAELOSKI, sophomore, Concert-lecture only. I don't think college students should be made to at tend assemblies. If there were fewer assemblies, then the students would be more apt to come. MADELINE LOWRY, junior, I feel the concert lecture only is best, but also four SAC meetings if we adopt the quarter plan. With SAC meetings there is a lot of planning of the presentation and all the vital issues are given to the SAC. They should have a chance to give our decisions and opinions to the whole student body, and then find out how they feel. If they aren't attending, how will we know their reactions? MARY ELLEN MURRAY, senior, Everyone needs a free period once in a while, and then it would affect the big offenders who would not pay 50 cents if we adopted the second plan. I don't think you could run a school on concert-lectures only, because there wouldn't be any attendance at SAC and class meetings which are vital to the school operations. Junior Wins Writing Award Donna Griffin, junior, has won hon orable mention in Today's short story contest for her story Spring Has Sprung. Donna's story appeareed in the May issue of the Mundelein Reviexv last year.
