COLLEGE MAY GET MILLION n ) Vol. XXXV Mundelein College, Chicago 26, 111., Jan. 13, 1965 No. 9 Name Four Semifinalists for Woodrow Wilson Awards Project Merits Priority For Government Grant One million dollars to finance nearly one-third of the cost of the proposed Mundelein Resource Center may be granted to the College by the federal government under provisions of the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963. Mundelein is rated as hav ing sufficiently high priority to receive a federal grant on the list of 24 institutions of higher learning in Illinois which have applied for federal aid for projects. Approxi mately 20 will receive aid in 1965. Mundelein seniors June Carter, Virginia Finnegan, Betty Muzik and Helen Skala have been named semifinalists for Woodrow Wilson fellow ships. March 16, one thousand finalists will be chosen to receive fellow ships for first-year graduate study. Eleven thousand candidates from the United States and Can ada have competed for the fellow ships. In addition to the 1,000 finalists, 1,500 will be given hon orable mentions. Ford Provides Funds Funds for the fellowships are provided by the Ford Foundation and a finalist is fully supported for the first year of graduate study. Students with majors in the hu manities and social sciences are primarily accepted, but math and science majors are also considered if a definite interest in college teaching is expressed. Particular importance is placed on the quality of the nominee's preparation for graduate study. A solid undergraduate prepara tion, competence in a foreign lan guage or math, and the ability to write essays and reports on inde pendent work conducted during undergraduate study form the ba sis for selection. About 25 per cent of the applicants are also given -personal interviews. Russian, Math Aid Choice Helen Skala, a math major and Review co-editor, feels that the fact that she emphasized interest in Russian and the philosophy of mathematics in her letter to the committee is responsible for her being named a semifinalist. Her special interest is in the study of number theory, and if she is awarded a fellowship she plans to attend the University of Michigan. After getting her doctorate, Helen would like to combine travel with college teaching. Senior class president Virginia Finnegan, an English and Russian major, is interested in comparative world literature and especially the literature of these two languages. She is considering the University Exam Schedule Jan. 18 Monday 9 a.m. MWF 9:30 classes 12 noon MWF 3:40 classes 2 p.m. MWF 1:40 classes Jan. 19.

June Carter's major interest is history, especially the influence of the French revolution on modern history. She is debating between the University of Chicago and Yale University, but her present preference is the University of Chicago. In addition to the Wil son fellowship, June has also ap plied for a Danforth fellowship and for a Fulbright for study in France. In the future, she plans to play an active role in commu nity activities in addition to col lege teaching. Helen Skala June Carter Senior Tours Yugoslavia With NSA Delegation Virginia Finnegan, senior class president, has been selected to par ticipate in a three-week exchange tour of Yugoslavia. The tour, sponsored by the United States National Student Association, marks the first exchange between the two student unions. Visit Yugoslavia A three-student delegation will visit all the large university cen ters in Yugoslavia and meet with student leaders, faculties and vari ous other organizations. Ginger and the two other dele gates, a graduate student at Princeton and the senior class jor, was recently elected to Who's Who among Students in American Colleges and Universities, and has been named a Woodrow Wilson fellowship semifinalist. She and the other two delegates will return to the United States Jan. 26. Distribution of grants which will range from 5,000 to 1 million is made after consideration of com plex data sheets on which the in stitution details information in the general areas of space utilization, increase in academic facilities to be gained and possible increase in enrollment. Of the 20 high-priority schools listed in the general category of institutions of higher learning and the three additional schools in the sepa rate category of public two- year colleges, the following are in the Chicago area: Loyola University, DePaul University, Barat College, North Park Col lege, University of Illinois, Illi nois Institute of Technology, National College of Education and Chicago City Junior Col lege. The possible Mundelein grant has been earmarked for the Re source Center building fund. Blue prints for the building have been changed from the ten-story design planned tentatively (see Sept. 30, 1964 Skyscraper) to a three-story Gallery Eight Features Pop Artists' Exhibition Virginia Finnegan president of the University of Wis consin, left for Paris, Jan. 2. After touring that city, they be gan their visit to Yugoslavia. Earns Slavic Grant Last summer Ginger was awarded a grant which enabled her to participate in a ten-week program at the Indiana University Slavic Workshop. Five weeks' study at the university was cul minated by an undergraduate tour of the Soviet Union. Ginger, an English-Russian ma- Mundelein's Gallery Eight is currently exhibiting ten examples of Pop Art from among the hun dreds of works in the Robert Mayer collection. Mr. Mayer, a Chicago art collector, also owns priceless oriental and primitive art. The Pop Art movement is rela tively young, a mere two or three years old. It is produced for the general public, not for an elite few. Its founders were Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Represent Fine Artists The Pop artists represented in the Gallery's display are Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselman, James Dine and Roy Lichtenstein. Mr. Warhol's works are charac terized by repetition while Mr. Rosenquist, a former sign painter, deals primarily with magazine paste-ups. Mr. Wesselman and Mr. Dine reproduce the common object and Mr. Lichtenstein, a for mer advertising layout man and semi-abstractionist, jabs society with cartoon blowups. Mr. Meyer states Pop Art is packed with brilliant color. It is a far cry from the lyric romanti cism of 50 years ago. So, until we adjust to it, our reactions some times can be sharp and shocked. Owns Large Collection Mr. Mayer already has three galleries in his Winnetka home and is in the process of adding three more galleries for his Pop Art collection. The display in Gallery Eight will run until Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sundays from 2-5 p.m. There is no admission charge. Lectours will be conducted by Sister Blanche Marie, B.V.M., chairman of the art department, today, Jan. 13, 17 and 23 at 4 p.m. and Jan. 16, 20 and 24 at 2 p.m. unit atop which five additional tower floors can be built. This new design creates more useable space and better function of design by combining the facili ties of seven floors of the original plan into two of the sprawling floors shown on the current blue print. Each floor is planned to in clude all resources relating to the disciplines represented on its book shelves. The over-all aim has been to divide floor- space into individual yet re lated units and to distribute the books throughout the building which will have a ca pacity about three times that of the present library. The ground floor level of the lakefront center will house an edu cational materials center recom mended by NCATE for Munde lein's teacher-education program, an audio-visual room, film library, faculty and honor student study can-els for lengthy research, an independent study area and stor age area. On the first floor will be a sci ence demonstration lecture hall large enough to accommodate an entire freshman (or other) class, a sunken browsing room, special reserve room for students, open reserve shelves, periodical and microtext area, an exhibit area, conference rooms and library serv ices area. The second floor will include space for private study carrels, encircling books of each disci pline such as history or litera ture (which will be arranged in natural relation; for exam ple, history, political science, economics and literature near each other), informal study rooms, an audio-visual center, rare book room and art dis play area. Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, underscored the need for the building in view of the 8-3 plan which will increase independ ent study and stressed that instru ments necessary for the curricu lum change must be available to commuter as well as resident stu dents. Kerner Invites College President To Serve on New Lincoln Board Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, has accepted an invitation from Governor Otto Kerner to serve as a member of the Board of Trus tees of the newly formed Lincoln Academy of Illinois. The Academy, an organization founded by Governor Kerner to recognize, honor and encourage the outstanding achievements of Illinois citizens, will pay tribute to those citizens who unselfishly devote their time and talents to the common course of human advancement. Each year the Academy will give the Lincoln Medal Awards for achievement in one of several classifications, including commerce, com munications, government and law, social and civic service and the per forming arts. Sister Mary Ann Ida will also participate in a symposium on higher education and receive an honorary doctorate at the Lincoln College Cen tennial Convocation, Feb. 6. The convocation commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Col lege which was chartered Feb. 6, 1865. Other symposium participants include John Hope Franklin, pro fessor of American history, University of Chicago; Norman J. Dewitt, chairman, department of classics, University of Minnesota; and Robert J. Havighurst, professor of education, University of Chicago.
