Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER Jan. 16, 1963 Pope Named Man of Year; Pleads for Unity of Mankind The 'Libraryinthine' Way Pope John XXIII's distinction of being chosen Time's Man of the Year, 1962, is an indication of the charm and power of a man who personifies the Good Shepherd. To those Protestants whose main objection to Catholicism is the su premacy of the Papacy, Pope John has been an interesting and delightful surprise principally because he has tried to make the Church more Catholic and less Roman. To Pope John, the Church is not an exclusive club but a mother who must recog nize the plight of modern man in a modern world and who must provide a sense of security in the unity of man in the human family. Stresses Informality Pope John illuminates his aware ness of his own role as Shepherd and the Church's role as mother by dis pensing with formal customs, by visit ing orphanages, jails, schools and churches, by welcoming more foreign rulers than any other pope and by pleading for peace more sympatheti cally than any of his predecessors.

Vatican II is the first council called not to fight here tics, not to declare dogma and not to marshal the church against hostile forces but to stress the importance of the separated brethren in the mission of the Church and to investi gate its new spirit. Asks Bishop's Views When calling the council, Pope John encouraged holy liberty in the bishops' expression of their views of the Church. In encouraging this lib erty he circumvented the opposition of the conservative Roman Curia and opened the way for discussions on the sources of revelation, the nature of the church and modern problems of mass media. His attitude has shattered the widely prevalent idea that the Catho lic Church is an archaic and absolutist system, has furthered the cooperation and understanding between Protes tant and Catholic theologians and has made the Catholic-Protestant dia logues of the day more relevant than ever before. Acts Shepherd Role Pope John XXIII has personified the role of the Good Shepherd to all Christians, has demonstrated that the walls that divide Christianity do not reach as far as heaven and has made a start toward a distant and elusive goal that will affect the world long after Cuba is once again libre and India is free of attack. For these reasons the Holy Father fulfills the qualifications of the man who dominated the news of the year and left an indelible mark on history. He rightfully deserves to be chosen Time's Man of the Year, 1962 Mary O'Malley In Mundleland Muddle Quick Ticks' Lick Miss I'm overdue, I'm in a rabbit stew . . . and if anybody has less time than the watch- chained rabbit of Alice in Wonderland, it's a book-chained Mundle-bunny. Not counting the four term papers to be writ ten, two projects to be completed and five books to be read, what things could be done if only there were time. I'd like to boat the January waves of Lake Michigan, socially whirl through Notre Dame, St. Joe's, St. Procopius and IIT, browse through the library without looking for references, spend one carefree period at Lewis Center and petition Mayor Daley to fill in the heel-trapping cracks on the L platforms. If I had spare time I'd learn shorthand to take class notes, tour the Merchandise Mart from top to bottom, learn to fence, shorten the skirts I missed last year, spin some albums in the music library, paint my bedroom purple, read all the best sellers, learn the Bossa Nova, go on a diet, write eight very late letters and go beatnik for an entire evening. But I can't even see one play, ballet or opera a season, let alone complete a one-day soft shoe shuffle through the Art Institute or take jumping lessons on horseback. I don't have the time to pick up Russian and French lessons where they were dropped, attend the Foreign Film Festival, build my own library, learn to ski or whitewash my tennis shoes. And attending Emphasis Op portunity discussions, going window shop- Department Interplay Opens New Dimensions for Education Ever since reading John Henry Newman's Idea of a University in freshman rhetoric, Mundelein students have come to know that a liberal arts college is designed to develop a mature, well-rounded human personality and to enable a student to adopt quickly and easily to new and foreign realms of human nature. Mundelein achieves this goal by requiring and offering a variety of courses in several fields: philosophy, psychology, the arts, lit erature, language, science and mathematics. But after all lower division courses are com pleted and students begin to specialize in a major field, liberal arts training appears to cease. Department interplay can remedy the situation. Because many subjects are closely re lated, such as political science and history, sociology and psychology, English and drama, it seems probable to interelate some of the cocurricular activities of these depart ments to provide a broader and well-rounded knowledge of a subject. Take, for example, the English and drama departments of the college. Before the holi day recess, the drama department presented a book in hand reading of The House of Bernarda Alba by Lorca. The play was previously read in the modern drama class but by viewing a performance, the English majors concentrated on characterization rather than structure. Furthermore, the joint effort of the two departments provided a double indemnity. Both English and drama majors profited by discussing the play over coffee. Further plans for book in hand performances are in progress. This ingenious yet practical idea of de partment interplay should be extended to other departments in the college. Thus, through joint efforts, the ideal and primary aim of Mundelein could be better fulfilled. Put department interplay into use and even the secondary I-don't-see-you-anymore- because-we're-in-different-departments prob lem will disintegrate. Eileen Schaefer ping downtown, joining the Glee Club, au diting art courses plus starting a Ban 'Moby Dick' campaign are out of the ques tion. To hear My Son the Folksinger and The First Family recordings in their en tirety, to spend one snap-shot happy night investigating every corner the city clutches, to ride on a fox hunt, to travel as far as a dollar will take me and to learn judo are high on the list of what I'd like to do. I'd dream up one new hair style every month, spend a night out with the girls, design some chick sheathes, sew on campus cloth, watch that thing called TV, go ice skating and tobogganing, wash the car, learn the mechanics of a motor and write an edi torial on what I would do if I had the time. And then there are semester exams ... so no time to say hello goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. Pat Krochmal Sounding Board Editor: Concerning the parking situation: Here is a suggestion from the student body as to how to rid ourselves of this dilemma. 1. Count the number of faculty members who drive and thus find the number of fac ulty parking spaces needed. 2. Give each a reserved spot in one of Mundelein's three faculty lots. 3. Let their spots be known to the stu dents by some marking and by a chart posted in the building. 4. The chart should be a diagram of the faculty parking lots, showing reserved areas and indicating the days and times they are in use. All confusion would be avoided if this chart were mimeographed and given to each student driver. 5. With this done, there would be parking; places that could be left for students, and those reserved spots not in use also could be used by students. If students violated the use of reserved spots in any way, e.g. parking on the wrong day or at the wrong time, this would be cause for any comparable penalty. We hope that this suggestion will be acted upon immediately. Mary Anne Pope Editor: I regret to inform you that I am hereby tendering my resignation as secretary of the Student Council. I will be unable to fulfill the duties of secretary as I will be spending next semester in the Rome Center of Loyola University. Sincerely, Mary Tucker
