Page Four SKYSCRAPER Library Campus Red Cross Asks Riders In The Sky -scraper Is Site of New For Volunteers Wayside Shrine Motorists, Many Visitors Pause Before Statue Facing south on Sheridan Koad, part of the great artery that runs like a rib bon along Chicago's lake-rimmed edge, America's third Wayside Shrine of the Sacred Heart stands on Mundelein's cam pus. It attracts scores of visitors daily, slows traffic at night when soft lights play on the seven-foot figure of stone, its hands OUt-stretched in welcome and in benedic tion. The first wayside shrine was erected in Washington, D.C., by Joseph J. Ellicott, Chicago businessman who was inspired to provide a tribute to the memory of his wife. Is Third in U. S. So spontaneous and widespread was the enthusiasm about the first shrine that Mr. Ellicott, cooperating with Father Francis Larkin, SS. CC, national direc tor of the Endironment, solicited the aid of lay men and women of all faiths to erect similar shrines in New York and then in Chicago. It is his plan to promote their erection in all large cities of the United States. Chairman of the Chicago Wayside Shrine committee is Mrs. L. Robert Mel- liu, who was eager to honor the Sacred Heart for a favor received. Recording secretary of the group is Doris Barnett Regan '33, president of the Mundelein Alumnae association. When Mr. Ellicott approached Cardinal Stritch with his plan of a shrine in Chi cago, the Cardinal recommended that it be erected on property owned by some CaUiolic organization. After a tour of the city and suburbs, the committee selected the Mundelein campus. .Reproduces Paray-le-Monial Enlisting the services and contribu tions of Chicago business and labor groups, the committee supervised the erection of the shrine, which is a replica of the one at Paray-Lc-Monial, home of St. Margaret Mary, in France. Mrs. Mellin personally supervised much of the construction, landscaping, and lighting, and presided, on Sept. 17, at the Solemn Dedication ceremony attended by approximately 5,000 people. Through the courtesy of the Park board, Sheridan Road traffic was re routed at 2:30 p.m. for the Procession, which formed at Granville avenue under (Continued in Col. 4) Campus Unit Needs Lifeguards, Hostesses Volunteers to attend a Ward Party at the Great Lakes Naval Training center are being sought by the campus unit of the American National Red Cross.

SL Patricia Carr, Louise Pierotti, WAA president, and Joan Kruse, Riding Club manager, pose before an autumn canter. SAC Speaks Up . SAC speaks up about student acti vities to tell . the how and why of student sponsored projects to clarify and explain the functions of the Coun cil and to prick the consciousness of Mundelein to the fact that SAC has taken on several new jobs, while con tinuing to do many former ones. * * * September found the SAC, Senior big sisters, and Sophomore hostesses co operating with the Administration and Freshmen Counselors to make Orienta tion Week interesting and orientating for Freshmen. A fine arts open house on Sept. 7 and 8 introduced the freshmen to the advan tages of art, drama, and music. Senior big sisters gave them the benefit of a little experience over cups of punch. All-school organizations lost some of their newness later in the week, as student leaders explained their value in adjusting freshmen to their posi tion in the complex civic affairs of the college community. The SAC book exchange, operated * * * this year by the Seniors, was used by over 300 students eager to secure the necessary classroom literature (or to pick up the always needed cash ) * * * Everyone must be aware that the assembly seating arrangement is al tered this year. In place of the religion- departmental division with a monitor for each group, each class is now seated alphabetically hi its entirety A joint council-faculty group has chosen girls who will usher and check the attendance record. Managed by the SAC, this system makes assembly cutting, and fine paying, impersonal and a matter of individual prudence. * * * The Class and Club Officers' Hand book, which was compiled by a group of the faculty, the SAC, and a few of the' club presidents, is being dis tributed now to all interested. * * Off campus activities with Loyola will continue this year, on a somewhat different level. Social life will still be promoted, but not through dances alone. Meeting the next door neigh bors in stimulating discussions should prove to be a big boon to friendship. For this reason weekly discussions are being inaugurated. Held alternately at Mundelein, and at Loyola, the Sessions will discuss the topics of the day with prepared speakers, and informal floor discussions. Dancing will follow the discussions provid ing enough Mundelein girls attend, and SPEAK UP Athletes Launch Active Program With the first trot of horses hoofs along the bridle path, Mundelein reign ed into a new sports year.

Throughout the day. visitors from out side come through the arched gateway and joined with Mundelein students and Faculty members to worship God at the shrine. As each day ends and darkness covers the great city, the statue is flooded with light, and Chicagoans from all walks of life come to it with their cares and prayers. Some do not even know why they are there. They have simply been drawn by a need within themselves. As one woman put it: Now that I have come, what shall I do? Are there special words I should say, or shall I make up my own what is it called my own prayer? ydcrapinad The crisp tone of autumn air and the musty smell of smoldering leaves carry away the memories of summer adventures, as sophomores and jun- iors meet eager freshmen and confident seniors passing through the west door.
