It will satisfy one Training a Loss; EducateStudents America's schools spend too much time training students, and not enough time educating them, stated Bishop John J. Wright. In a speech spon sored by the Catholic Adult Education Centers Feb. 19 at the Morrison Ho tel, the Pittsburgh prelate contended that today's schools offer too many how-to courses and not enough know- why courses. The function of education says the Bishop, is to give us a sane and sav ing sense of perspective. This perspective, he explained, is a balanced outlook which can weigh the value and import of current events against the background which only a libe)-al education can give; i.e., a knowledge of history, philosophy, the ology, literature, social studies and na tural science. It is this perspective which prevents disorganized dismay in the face of seeming catastrophes. Because today's world lacks this perspective, this is an age of anxiety and fear, rather than one of serenity, Bishop Wright believes. Furthermore, he says, the anxiety and fear is not even over important issues. In the light of history, the ingenuity of evil has shown little progress since the time of the Trojan horse. Because the schools have not given this all-important perspective, the Bishop pointed out, it is the function of the Adult Education program to do so. And its goal, in the words of Bishop Wright, should be the pa tience of the saints and the perspective of the Church. semester of college physical education requirements.

Third Annual Art Exhibit Brightens College Environs by Mary Jo Murray BUT U/HV Wnill n I wan' a thinking man's filter? queries Carlotta Ul II n I ft U U LI/ I Letizo as she surveys the new cigarette ma chine, the school's latest addition. From oil paintings to serigraphs, the entries in the third Annual Mid west Catholic College Art Exhibit at Mundelein College confirm a taste for modern art. Over 50 paintings are being dis played in Room 405 Feb. 11-March 15. The contributors include Loras College, Dubuque; Marian College, Indianapolis; Mercy Col lege, Detroit; Rosary College, River Forest; St. Mary-of-the- Woods College, Terra Haute, Ind. Religious themes, many of them paintings of the Madonna, comprise one-fourth of the assortment. Vari ous types mixed media, oil, tem pera and block print produce con trasting results. The Annunciation, bright in red, yellow and orange, pre sents a joyful mood. ON THE OTHER HAND, The Ma donna casts a mysterious spell with its dark majestic coloring. Some charcoal figure drawings and pencil sketches appear quite realistic. However, most figure work expresses abstract projection. Basic shades of yellow, red, blue and green predominate in these striking paintings. Whether an oil painting or a silk screen com position, these embody many dif ferent patterns some with smooth lines, others with a chequered effect. Landscapes, abstract pieces such as Devastation and still life studies complete the subject matter of the dis play. Caseins, water colors and seri graphs number amonh' these works. C H I C A G O NEIGHBORHOOD Nationality Survey By Human Relations In order to find out which nation ality leads the many ethnic groups here, the Human Relations Club be gan a survey on Feb. 23 of all ethnic groups in the school.

Sister Chia Ta Liana of Rosary Col lege presents a Chinese version of the Flight into Egypt, rich in oriental tradition. One of the two collages in the exhibit is called The College Girl. In a limited space the art ist manages to depict the typical college female immersed in ciga rettes, books, telephones, clothes, jewelry, cards and TV. A few sculptured figures are in cluded in the exhibition. This selec tion contains a carving of an old woman, a vase, a teapot, a cat and the Nativity scene. Stateville Penitentiary Hosts Sociology Students Sociology students celebrated Wash ington's birthday by going on a field trip to Stateville Penitentiary. The girls traveled to Joliet by bus, touring the Oak Forest Hospital grounds en route. A lieutenant and three guards guided the prison tour, which was marked by an absence of prison ers, who were watching a movie instead of working because of the holiday. The cells were described as very small. There are three bunk beds, one table, one sink, and one chair for the three prisoners who share each cell. EACH PRISONER is equipped with a set of earphones on which he can listen to one of three radio stations. Also for recreation, every man has the opportunity to read books from the li brary. SCHOOLING FOR the 3,900 pris oners is available on grammar school, high school and college levels. The teaching is done by the 25 or 30 in mates who are college educated. Two administrative teachers supervise the teaching. For those who are inter ested, college correspondence and TV courses are offered.

Friday and Saturday, March 18 and 19. Jazz combos from U.S. colleges compete for a break in the big time. Should be truly splendid Student rate 1. ... Problem of the honest cop in Chicago: loneliness. . . . Pre-Lenten sparklers are on the hands of Diane Pellegrini, Maira Coleman, Judith Angone, Carol Tobey and Sue Haglund. . . . Arlene Coutre and Rosemarie Schneider saw The Mouse that Roared. Was he a big one, kids? Oooh. FROM AUNT PUMPINELLA'S LIBRARY: The Penguin Knitting Book by James Norbury. A quote from the book: For a great fashion designer to come into being, talent alone is not enough; the designer must have the absolute and authorita tive genius to impose his or her vision of the needs of the times on the times themselves, so that fashions which a year previously would have been considered an outrage are suddenly necessary. All this may be very true, but what I want to know is why anyone would ever want to knit a penguin THINGS YOU NEVER NOODLE NOW: Subscriptions to all magazines (almost) are available at regular rates through the Bookstore.
