Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER Oct. 31,1962 Mr. Shanahan, explaining the type of test he would give his American Lit. class, remarked, It will be a general test covering big points and concepts. For example, he continued, I may ask which of Chillingsworth's shoulders was higher. Felicia Folino and Delores Simon, sociology majors, were discussing their future trip to visit penal in stitutions in the Chicago area. They mentioned that buses were going to pick them up at school. Hearing only the last part of their conversa tion, Joanne Infantino ask e d, Buses? Is there going to be a mixer? Wonder how much research went into composing the lyrics for the new junior class song. Rita Bourne and Julie Stauffer wrote the words but the melody was supplied by a famous institute about three blocks west of the Lake. Taking a noon-day nap in their room in Coffey Hall, Joyce Conry and Carlotta Letizio were awakened by a knock on the door. Believing it to be a friend, they retained their reclining positions and uttered a sleepy Come in. They were a bit surprised when the door opened and revealed an amused Bob New hart Considering the affinity to gov ernment officials exhibited by many students, it was surprising that President Kennedy didn't stop at the Political Mecca on the lake while in Chicago. It was almost midnight, but the lounge was still occupied by a few members of the Spanish Club who were working on their booth for Club Week. Sylvia Carrera, sitting on the floor and sleepily hammer ing away at two boards, muttered in almost inaudible tones, I came to Mundelein just to avoid being a carpenter and now look at me. As an alternative to the cartoon presented in the last issue of the Skyscraper illustrating a solution to the parking problem, Barb La Paglia Smith suggests that we hire Flying Officer Irv Hayden to park the cars atop the Scholasticate. Now you see it, now you don't . . . Eileen Schaefer, Pat Kuryanski, Rita CuIIen and Sharon Schnell are really disturbed about the Mystery Guest in the Kenmore lot. While parking their car one day, they no ticed the Austin-Healy with its green cover. Since it is a rather stationary object, they paid little attention. But, as they were walk ing out of the lot, they saw that the green cover was gone. And they had been the only ones in the lot. It was a drowsy Monday morn ing. The instructor asked Lillian Walsh to name some outstanding people in American education. Lazily, Lillian lifted her head and replied, Name? Oh, Lillian Walsh. Entering a discussion of teaching machines, Mr. Macchitelli told his class that he had kiddingly warned a mathematician friend of his of the system of learning. You know, he told his friend, you could be replaced by a machine. To this his friend replied, And you psychologists could be rep'aced by human beings. Hear about the new California primer?

Lectures, films and seminars de signed to aid adults to continue a liberal growth intellectually make up the curriculum. Special emphasis is placed on the opportunities for adults to explore the implications of their faith in the light of modern life. The archdiocesan program, es tablished by Dr. Russell Barta in 1955, now has centers at Munde lein; Notre Dame High School; Nazareth Academy, La Grange; St. Xavier's College; St. Edmund's Church, Oak Park; and St. Peter's Church. Stressing the importance of the movement, Dr. Barta says The very nature of the life of the Church is to some extent condi tioned by the humanity with which it deals. Certainly the Church would have a much better opportunity to deliver the Gospel to an enlightened and enriched humanity than to one which is culturally impoverished. by Peggy I always knew Pisces, the star I was born under, was luckier than the other 11. This summer, as I spent July 27 to Sept. 3 touring South America with a Red Cross delegation, I was even more sure. In order to present the North American Red Cross program more fully to South American students, representatives from colleges all over the country underwent a screening program designed to test command of the Spanish language, social graces and intellectual capa bilities. I was the lucky girl chosen and sent to a six-week Red Cross workshop in Lake Forest prior to leaving for South America. The first glimpse of the South American continent the Colum bian coastline created an air of excitement that characterized the entire trip. After our arrival at the Bogota airport, I glanced out the plane window and saw a red carpet, then a military band and newspaper re porters and finally hundreds of cheering Columbians. For the mo ment, I felt internationally famous. The sensation lasted only until the stewardess informed the passen gers that President-elect Guillermo Valencia was seated in fi'ont of the Avianca jet. Countries Present Contrasts With each country I visited, dif ferent and distinct panoramas of language, personality and atmos phere unfolded. South America is a beautiful country filled with contrasts co lonial and modern, natural and in dustrial. Bogota boasts a colonial history which still permeates her narrow streets and small buildings. On the other hand, Chile presents a picture more reminiscent of Chi cago. In Santiago, the streets are wider, the buildings taller, the traf fic heavier and the parking prob lem greater. The amicable feud between the Cariocas, people of Rio and the Paulistas, people of Sao Paulo, is a source of enjoyment. The Cariocas accuse the Paulistas of excessive diligence and business like seriousness, while the latter rebuke and criticize the gaiety and lighthearted attitude of the Cario cas. Even though I had read about South America, I was not fully pre- GUEST SPEAKER for the Young Republicans last week was Mrs. Everett Dirksen, who substituted for her husband. Senator Dirksen, recalled to Washington in the Cuban crisis. Sister Mary Donalda, B.V.M., and Laurie Nikola chat with the visitor in the lounge of Coffey Hall. Clements pared for the actual differences. I frequently sent my stomach mental warnings not to expect nourish ment at 5 p.m. because the normal dining hour is 8:30. Incidents like finding myself una ble to buy a postcard or stamp from 1 to 4 in the afternoon because the stores are closed, or making ar rangements for a Saturday after noon meeting with a Brazilian stu dent through her parents surprised me. These experiences gave me an understanding of the customs I cou d not possibly glean from books. To a Chicagoan who has never seen them before, mountains typi fied both the beauty and contrast in South America. Their beauty lies in their very nearness to the city, providing a natural back ground for industrial buildings and skyscrapers. Knowledge Surprises A source of great surprise was the general belief of the South American people that their neigh bors to the north are ignorant of the general location, history and progress of the continent. Con versely, many of their ideas about North American ways are drawn from the American film and movie stars. Most importantly, I gained a bet ter understanding of myself and my country through personal con tact with the cultural problems and thoughts of a different country. But the experience goes beyond the tan gible benefits; it was really my first step in learning to walk in the brave new world of the 20th Cen tury. Dramatists Satirize (Continued from Page 3) . . . Since Agamemnon left, I have been seeing a lot of Aegesthus. ' In him I have found a true and under standing companion ... My ques tion is, do you think Agamemnon will have changed any? Aphro dite answers: Y our indecision could lead to catastrophe. So, her indecision leads to a decision murder Agamemnon. The prophet Cassandra, aware of this plot, ad vises Clytemnestra in her Daily column: Don't do it. Your plans for the day are unadvisable from your husband's viewpoint. She uses a more direct approach with Agamemnon: Beware Watch it Look out From cover to cover the Athe nian Daily bears a remarkable re semblance to 20th century publica tions. The cold war between Athens and Sparta appears ready to ignite in the headline, SPARTA STALKS OUT ON OLYMPUS TALKS; WAR FEARED. A story headlined COUNCIL COMMENTS ON CURRENT CHARIOT CHAOS states, Drag racing by hot-blooded Athenian youths presents serious problems. Buckets for 464 Even life in fifth century B.C. didn't exempt the Greeks from the plagues of advertising. The last page of the Gazette announces chariots for 464 B.C. complete with the newest thing in bucket seats, buckets. And finally the classifieds of the Daily present a five-line epitapth to the Trojan War: For Sale Must Sell Name your price One wooden horse. Good condition Pick up outside the walls of Troy
