Her third Mundelein girl is her own daughter, Sister Mary Patrick, O.S.B. Skyscraper Photo: Mickey Deutsch devil's advocate, Dr. Norbert Hruby, vice president of Mundelein, posed the first question, What are the advantages and disadvantages of a value-oriented college? Reflecting the chacteristic diver sity and ingenuity of the entire group, Mrs. Cronkhite immediately questioned the question by point ing out that all colleges are value- oriented since they seek truth. Discussing the role of the Catho lic college, Dr. Sittler emphasized that The Catholic college is the Church teaching. This Catholic in stitution must see nothing new as startling; rather, it must look for possibility in new thinking. It should not shop around, he as serted, but rather dig deep into its own principles. At this point, Professor Morse contributed that Moral perfection alone will not make a good Catho lic college; other values are needed. Catholics are doomed to mediocrity if they do not realize other intel lectual values. Dr. Shuster added that Catholic education must have something of its own to say in the world. The college community must shape man for the time in which he lives. The students realize the changing wor. ; the university must meet this challenge, he stressed. Defend Women's Colleges Lining up the pros and cons of coed versus segregated education, the Board revealed a diversity of opinion. Substantiating the advan tages of the latter, Mrs. Cronkhite pointed out that the main reason for a women's college is so they can run their own show. A woman should have a chance to fulfill her self without having to compete in the male world. Although Dr. Shuster admitted that the chances for marriage are better in a coed institution, he noted that academic achievement is higher when women study alone. Nearing the end, Dr. Hruby asked In what sense may it be claimed that our liberal arts cur riculum liberates the mind? Evoking equal interest from Board members and faculty, the question received numerous com ments. The importance of depth concentration in a subject area ver sus superficial generalizations in in terdisciplinary pursuits was em phasized by the faculty. Such a system puts more responsibility on the student to coordinate the vari ous disciplines, they stressed. Redeem Self On the other hand, many ques tioned the ability of the student to arrive at this total awareness on her own. Dr. Sittler summarized that through the liberation of the mind, the student is given the tools to re deem herself. Thus, education is not the cause of redemption but a means to it. Advisory Board members famil iarize themselves with students in the classroom Monday morning and met informally with Student Coun cil members and Skyscraper editors at McCormick Lounge in the after-
