March 23,1961 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three A Really Big Wind Eyewitness to Tornado Describes Eating Lettuce Plus Steak Dinner by Candlelight When they call Chicago the windy city I guess they aren't kidding The tornado that hit the south side March 5 was proof enough TO SOME PEOPLE that tornado meant nothing more than a big breeze ; to those who were involved, it meant the loss or severe damage to a home, business or car. But to those who barely missed the tornado's wrath, like me for instance, that big breeze gave rise to some serious thought. Seeing some of the other homes in the neighborhood minus a roof or an upper floor the streets littered with sofa stuffing, bricks, branches, over turned cars and window displays from the supermarket the sky a maze of twisted TV antennas and awnings curtains and Venetian blinds hung out- Barat, Mundelein Discuss de Chardin Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, French Jesuit author of the Phenomenon of Man, is the topic of the Barat-Munde- lein philosophy-theology discussion the afternoon and evening of April 21, in Room 405. The Teilhard discussion will consist of four panelists. Dr. Richard West- ley of Barat will speak on the Philo sophical Implications of .the Phe nomenon of Man. Sister Mary Ag- neslta of Mundelein will discuss the Theological Implications of the Phe nomenon of Man. A student from Barat and Nancy Itnyre of Mundelein will summarize the adverse and favorable criticisms of Teilhard. Senior contemporary theology students will conduct discus sion groups following the .talks. Intercollegiate News by Phyllis Wright COLORADO WOMEN'S COLLEGE Editorial Comment: The greatest achievements in history are not the products of group minds . . . nearly everything that has been done for the good of mankind, has been accom plished by a human being working alone in the dark or cold. ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE Editorial Comment: Controversy is the hallmark of healthy change . . . In a healthy college society there is no room for the stagnant or the static. There is need for constant investiga tion and genuine evaluation. WISCONSIN STATE COLLEGE Editorial Comment: Leadership a word we hear much of during col lege, but which most of us do not bother to consider. Remember you get out of an experience only what you put into it. Let's put our best efforts into college. INCARNATE WORD COLLEGE Editorial Comment: Who are our campus leaders? Upon whom can we rely to get the job done? Whom can we depend upon for continual leader ship so necessary for our student government? Students Add 512 to Fund Mundelein's contribution toward the Formosa University fund drive held March 6-9 netted 512. Direct student donation amounted to 212, while NFCCS added its backlog of 100, and the SAC voted to give 200 from its treasury. The drive is a project sponsored by the NFCCS and the Holy See for a university to be built on Taiwan, which is to serve in training future Chinese leaders, and for missionary purposes. by Judy Hubert side instead of inside broken windows struck fear .to the bottom of my shoes. BECAUSE THE DISASTER area was only a block from my home, I was on the scene right after the tor nado struck. The wreckage in such a short period of time was unbelievable the more you looked the more you saw the more you saw, the sicker you got. Thanksgiving for having been spared was expressed by all the Progress in SAC Cited by Rep by Pat Riggs In future weeks the SAC will dis cuss the problem of poor attendance at open meetings. Of course, it will be up to you to decide whether the SAC meetings should be required. We will consider the matter again and take another vote on it. Regarding activities mentioned in the last column .this is the progress so far. A piano, not otherwise used in the school, is en route to the Phoenix Room within the next few weeks. The possibility of fixing the chairs to avoid nylons running can be solved only by entire recovering. This would require a good deal of money, and perhaps the assets of the variety show and the proposed all-school carnival can be applied toward this cause. Neither clarification nor remedy has been found for the 8 fee for hours over and including 18, but we are still working on this. The SAC wants you to know what they're doing by means of this column. It is physically impossible for 17 coun cil members to publicize all this to you or even attempt to get your opin ions, but please voice them con tact your reps, use the suggestion box, or write a letter to the editor. curious, myself included, who had come to see the damage. And did they come Our relatively quiet street was turned into bedlam due to the rerouted trucks and buses, to say nothing of the droves of people who came by the carloads to see the damage. THE TORNADO GAVE rise to a few family episodes. The Huberts, who live better electrically, had steaks waiting to go into the broiler when the electricity went off and were forced to parade with the steak, po tatoes and peas to the neighbors' gas range in order to cook dinner. Cutting lettuce by candlelight is not my idea of fun and I have the nicks to prove it. I would have been a miserable pioneer, and it is no wonder the pioneers went to bed at seven there wasn't any thing else to dol The Spain's had finished a super job of housecleaning and polishing. Mary Ellen was cleaning her closet and drawers when the lights went out windows shattered and front porch floor boards parted company. She tripped over her belongings that were piled over the room all weekend. MRS. SPAIN PERSISTED in peel ing the potatoes in spite of the mud that had been blown through the house (even into her silverware drawer.) She refused to let her roast go to waste tornado or no tornado. The neighborhood kids had a ball with a candy-bar window display that ended up all over the street Some man was declaring, to all who would listen, that there was no cause to worry that the Fifth Army and entire availa ble police force would be here immedi ately to stop looting. About an hour later the Boy Scouts showed up, but the Fifth Army never quite made it. SO, IN SPITE of the big breeze- almost everybody in our block settled down to a quiet Saturday night. But I'm willing to bet there were more people on their knees that Saturday than there have been for a long time In this time of crisis, those who suf fered the damages were greatly aided by Civil Defense, police and neighbors who perform best under critical con ditions. We can all be grateful that more people were not killed. I still can't understand why that tornado de stroyed the next block and not mine WITH SHAMROCKS GALORE, Kathy Gottschalk gets carried away wearin' the green.
