Vol. XXXVI Mundelein College, Chicago 26, March 1, 1966 Program on Trial Speak-Easy Gets Stay Suspension Imminent Holds Speak-Easy, which was to be dis continued today because of lack of interest and attendance, will con tinue on a trial basis every other week according to a decision of the Speak-Easy committee. Mr. Stan Dale, WLS news com mentator and Speak-Easy modera tor, Mr. Daniel Cahill, vice-presi dent in charge of development and public relations and a member of the Speak-Easy committee and No- reen Stoeck, student coordinator of Speak-Easy, agreed to continue the program twice a month beginning March 8. Stan Dale's announcement Feb. 22, that the March 1 Speak-Easy would be the final one prompted warranted concern on campus. In a Skyscraper interview Mr. Dale emphatically explained that if the students show interest in Speak-Easy and want it to remain on campus, he will continue it. But he went on to point out that the only indication of such a desire is the turn out at a Speak-Easy session. The moderator, who partially blames himself for the attendance drop, feels he did not explain clearly the meaning of the ses sions. It's a new experiment in first-person relationships, he said, strictly a question and answer ses sion. What the students don't realize, he pointed out,- is that Speak-Easy is a crash educational program that they can't get anywhere else. It's one thing for a speaker to de liver a lecture, he continued, but at Speak-Easy the guests are lying naked in the spotlight of truth. Often questions may seem sopho- moric, Mr. Dale explained, but the students must learn to acknowledge that these questions broaden a per son's perspective and outlook of the world he lives in. Of the more than 1,500 question naires evaluating Speak-Easy sub mitted to the students and faculty by the coordinating committee, only 174 were returned. The results pointed out two major defects in the program. The first indicated that the speakers are not well- known and the second that there is too much concentration on civil rights. Mr. Dale challenged both of these accusations. Regarding the first he questioned the relevance of a name if the person is an expert in his field, as the Speak-Easy guests have been. I don't know where the name factor is that important, he said. EXAM SCHEDULE Wednesday, Feb. 16: Classes meeting at 3:30 will take ex ams at regular class times. Thursday, Feb. 17: Classes meeting at 10, 1 and 2 will take exams at regular class times. Friday, Feb. 18: Classes meeting at 8:30 and 11:30 will take exams at regular class times. I doubt if any of the students are experts, he continued, so they certainly could learn something from the speakers. On the second issue, Mr. Dale said that of the 18 speakers, only five have been connected with civil rights and two of these, Eartha Kitt and John McDermott, only coincidentally. They were not brought to the College to discuss this topic. The fact that most of the ques tions directed to the speakers leaned toward civil rights, indicates that this is a burning topic and one of great importance, he as serted. Mr. Dale maintains that the stu dent body is spoiled. Can anyone answer Why a Dick Gregory should come to Mundelein? Why an Eartha Kitt should come to Mundelein? he queried. They come out of a desire to im part some knowledge, he asserted. They're dedicated people. Hanra- han, the Feb. 22 speaker, didn't want to come, Dale continued, be cause his time is too valuable to give to a group of 20 persona, and these are the groups he generally meets. I can't insult any of my guests with such poor attendance, Mr. Dale emphasized. Reiterating his well-known state ment that he's always open for suggestions, Mr. Dale explained that students have suggested speak ers to him, but many of these are out of the city. Without a budget it's difficult to bring these speakers to the campus. And in the event that they are in the city, it is often for a weekend only, while Speak-Easy meets on Tuesday. Mr. Dale further stated, I'm not here to entertain the students. I'm here to educate the students. I would like to take issue with the faculty at this time, Mr. Dale went on. The success of any learn ing endeavor depends on the sup port of the faculty. Of the 15 fac ulty members who answered the questionnaire, those who do not have 3:30 classes said they were too busy for Speak-Easy, explained the moderator. .. I challenge the teacher at Mun delein to match time, hour for hour with me. If they can, I will take IV my hat to them and personally apologize, he explained. There's an old saying, You can always make time if you want to, he quoted. There is so much talk today about student apathy, Mr. Dale ex plained, I feel that student apathy is handed down by professorial apathy. College Movie Benefit The Chicago premiere of Trouble with Angels, starring Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills will be sponsored by Mun delein College on the evening of April 14 in the College Theater. The premiere is a benefit showing and proceeds will go to the College. Tentatively, Mundelein graduate Jane Trahey, author of the book Life with Mother Superior from which the movie is adapted, will attend the per formance, as will director William Fry re of Columbia Pictures. Rosalind Russell and other stars from the film also may be present. Tickets will range in price from 3 to 100.

A benefactor donation of 25 includes one ticket to the three functions and a patron donation of 10 admits the donor to the film and the brunch following. Admit tance to the showing only will be 3.

Sister Mary Do- natus, B.V.M., director of public relations, who attended the pre- showing of the film at the Roose velt Theater, described the girls as very modern. The humorous anom aly, Sister remarked, stems from the 19th-century-typed portrayal of the sisters in the picture. Citing a caricature of a hot rod bus driver named Sister Ligouri, Sister Mary Donatus observed that every Catho lic in Chicago would find the film enormously amusing. Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., college president, announced plans for the formation of a Woman's Board composed of women unaf filiated with the College to encour age city-wide support for the pre miere. The president expressed the hope that the proceeds from the performance will substantially aug ment the building program fund.
