March 8, 1961 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Rep. Refutes 'Busywork' Term In Relating SAC Proposals by Pat Riggs In every institution of considerable size, communication between the vari ous factions is of the utmost impor tance. Mundelein is no exception. It is felt by a number of students that communication between the SAC and the nearly 1,200 students is ques tionable. Some feel that the SAC is nothing more than a group who or ganize and conduct busywork. With the purpose of informing the student body on SAC activities specifically, the Skyscraper has permitted initia tion of a special SAC column. Perhaps some of the ideas ex posed will be thought busywork by a few, but they are your busy- work ideas that are presented and considered. A suggestion box is posted on the SAC board. A num ber of constructive suggestions have been proposed. Each was discussed at SAC meetings, and some were either disposed of be cause of impracticality or are cur rently being investigated by stu dent council members. The following is a view of recent ideas discussed and proposed: It has been recommended that the constitu tion of the Student Handbook be re vised to include an NSA and NFCCS delegates as members of the student council. (See story page 1.) Another proposed revision relates to qualifications stipulated in running for office. The handbook, if amended, would read, a student in good stand ing ('C average and not under major disciplinary censure). A book exchange for future registration times is being recom mended to save time, confusion and money on books.

Since many students must take 18 hours to meet requirements, the pos sibility of changing the additional 8 an hour fee to prevail for 19 hours or over is being looked into. The sophomore officers have re lated proposed plans within their class to conduct a one-day carnival fair in May to raise money and provide fun. Since past Benefit preparations take the large part of a semester involving all the SAC members in this one ac tivity, the possibility of a special com mittee is being considered for next year's Benefit, under the direction of only a few SAC members. This would free other members to communicate with the students more frequently. Briefly, this is a rundown of activi ties, during the past two weeks. Whether it be called busywork or busy weeks, the SAC has not been dormant. Comments will be welcomed in the Letters to the Editor column. Cash Prizes Offered; Contest Deadlines Set Prizes from 10- 1,000 are open to all undergraduate writers in three creative writing contests.

Socialists Participate In Leaders' School Nine Mundelein students will be among the many Midwestern Sodalists participating in the fifth annual Train ing School for Catholic Leaders to be held at Xavier University in Cincinnati on Saturday, March 11. An outstand ing lay leader and four prominent Jesuits will conduct the conference. This training school has been or ganized because of the need for Catho lic lay leadership in today's world and the important part that the Sodality Way of Life plays in this work. The day will be divided into four sessions of talks followed by group discussions and one general session. Mr. Charles Keating, founder of the Citizens for Decent Literature will serve as keynote speaker, as he did last year. The four Jesuit priests who will speak at the sessions are Reverend John J. Wenzel, The Ecumenical Council, Reverend Rudolph Prickril, Family Life, Reverend Henry Ken- ney, The Intellectual Life and Rev erend John Christian, The Spiritual Life. Laurelle Anderson, Ruth Fazioli, Patricia Garrity, Gail Grundmann, Rita Bourne, Mary Ann Hoope, Vir ginia Rowland, Leona Poliquit, and Ann Moran, prefect, are the nine So dalists attending. DR. FREDERICK BOLAND answers the questions of Mary Ann Makowski and Anne Miller concerning world affairs as Sister Mary Ligouri and Sean O'hEideain, Irish consul in Chicago, listen in.

A panel of udges will choose the best hats in the following categories: the funniest, the most attractive and the best made. One of the six girls will be selected by the same judges to model a hat on the Dorsey Connor television show. Freshman Pamela Wilt To Represent College in National Glamour Contest Should we send food to starving Red China? In a recent informal inter view-lecture at Mundelein, Dr. Fred erick Boland of Ireland, president of the United Nations General Assembly, indicated that the answer to the ques tion reached deeply into all interna tional affairs. I don't think it (the Red China question) is a matter of politics ... it is a matter of conscience for Christian people . . . the more we do of that sort of thing, the better our chances will be of winning the cold war. Dr. Boland, a robust, stolid man whose very appearance inspires confi dence, is a friendly likeable Irishman with an admirable record in diplomatic affairs. In 1958, after serving two years as chief Irish delegate in the UN, Dr. Bo'.and was appointed to the chairmanship of the Assembly's Trus teeship Committee, and now to the presidency of the General Assembly. Called a ner gt;-classic diplomat by The Reporter, the president is a firm be liever in the policy of moderation. That is, he believes that through the activities of the center party in the Assembly, a number of smaller na tions voting together can break the power blocs on certain isues. Speaking within the familiar surroundings of Room 405, the dis tinguished statesman made world crises appear less formidable and more understandable. A receptive interviewee, Dr. Boland subtly sidestepped comment on the United States presidential election and the Cuban situation, explaining that his position required him to be neutral. He was most amenable, however, to making general comments on the sta tus of certain countries and individu als. In regard to the present position or degree of affiliation existing between the Soviet Union and Red China, he commented that since a common belief in Christianity doesn't guarantee unity among the nations of the West- Pamela Wilt, freshman, has been se lected as Mundelein's representative in Clamour magazine's Best Dressed College Student contest. Junior Ann Marie Wenthe was runner-up. The final choice, made by the SAC, was made from an original faculty- nominated group of 63. The group was screened by the Social Arrange ments Board to the two finalists. Pam( a model for the A-Plus Model ing Agency, will now compete for the honor of being photographed in the spring for the annual college issue of Glamour. In June the ten Best Dressed College Girls in America will be flown to New York for a two-week visit. The standards used to select Mun delein's finalist were impeccable grooming, a good figure coupled with perfect pocture, well-kept hair, imagi nation in managing a clothes budget, an appropriate campus look, a clear undertaking of individual fashion type, a workable wardrobe plan, neat make up application, and distinctiveness in the use of accessories. Pam, a slender brunette, is a gradu ate of The Convent of the Sacred Heart and was freshman finalist in Mundelein's selection for the Chicago Catholic Queen contest. Pam who intends to major in Eng lish-Journalism, has been pictured in several national magazines in ads for Coca-Cola and others. Bonita Bajerski freshman, who builds model aircraft, is featured in the April editon of American Modeler magazine. Copies are on sale in the campus bookstore. era world, neither can we assume that a mutual Marxist philosophy insures a close relationship between China and the Soviet Union. Rather, Dr. Boland observed, the two countries differ markedly. While Russia is gradually becom ing more liberal, the Chinese, who have not yet accomplished many of their reforms, tend to be more radical because they are more primitive. When questioned about the seating of Red China in the UN, Dr. Boland explained that no proposal has been made to admit Red China. Rather, he continued, the question that is arous ing all the controversy is whether or not to discuss who should rightfully occupy the Chinese seat in the UN that is presently under the control of the Nationalist Chinese. He ventured the opinion that the question of a change in occupancy may well be discussed soon. However, he observed, those in favor of seating Red China will have to answer for the rec ord of her several violations. Even then, in order to be admitted, a two- thirds majority would be required. Proceeding in the same vein, Dr. Boland observed that we are living in a difficult period with dangerous possibilities on all sides. The most important issue, he commented, is that of trying to close the huge gap between the living standards of the Western world and those of the more underdeveloped countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Besides being a reproach to our Christianity, he added, this problem is also a great threat to the freedom of the individuals living in these areas. Dr. Boland pointed out the big tempta tion the successes of the totalitarian governments offer underdeveloped countries. Unless we provide friendship and guidance, they may well follow the example of Soviet Russia. Stressing the importance of an interested and enlightened people, to the success of the United States in the UN, Dr. Boland cited his own native Ireland as a positive example. The Irish, he mentioned, are very UN minded and support it strongly. We are not living in a vacuum or an ivory tower, he observed wryly. The interview continued enioute to Dr. Boland's hotel via the Outer Drive, affording a more informal view of the ambassador's personality. A scholar of the classics and father of two sons now majoring in classics, Dr. Boland feels that a classical edu cation is the best possible preparation for life for both boys and girls. His pride in his family was obvious as he confided that has daughter at 16 is a budding poetess, with one poem al ready accepted for publication by a leading American magazine. Looking at the sea of cars around him, he observed that there weren't many black cars. They seem to go in for color, he said, as if they were some sort of unusual species.
