AN ARTS FESTIVAL is a sus tained program, over a week or a month, highlighting performances of artists or other exhibits. Mundelein's festival will include productions in the fields of art and art appreciation, music, dance, drama and cinema, states Sister Mary Assisium, B.V.M., dean of women, who, with the concert-lecture committee, planned the festival. To initiate the festival, Thomas Molnar, Ph.D., will discuss Modern Art as an Expression of Our Times in the auditorium, April 7 at 1:10 pjn. He will answer the arguments for and against abstraction as a modern art form. Those who con tend that abstract art is some thing my four-year-old brother can do as well as Picasso will be surprised to learn that it is an elemental form that analyzes the basic components of a picture. The result of this abstraction is then painted. Dr. Molnar has lectured extensively for the Portland Art Museum and the World Affairs Council of California. He holds degrees in French literature and philosophy from the University of Brussels and a Ph.D. from Columbia university. HE IS presently a member of the faculty of Brooklyn college, having taught at Rutgers university and Catholic colleges on the west coast. The Future of Education is the title of his most recently published book. He has also written for Com monweal, America, Catholic World and Review of Politics.
