Dec. 15,1965 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Three Spacious Bookstore Lures To Comfortable Christmas Many Mundelein students have found Christmas shopping less hectic this year. An alternative to countless trips downtown, the college bookstore has proved to be a little shopping center on cam pus. When the bookstore moved to the former Phoenix Room after the final day of classes last spring, the Skyscraper Photo by Margy Rediger EXAMINING NEW BOOKSTORE wares, freshman Mary Cooney fondles novelty while Mimi Millen strums a guitar now available at the college shopping center. added space gave Sister Mary Ju- lietta, B.V.M., the opportunity to stock a variety of articles. Oper ating the bookstore for the benefit and convenience of the students, Sister has responded to many re quests when ordering supplies. Display Articles While practical items are availa ble, novelties and accessories are abundant. Stuffed animals, gui tars, tape recorders, wooden ring and bracelet sets and mono- grammed glassware compose just a fraction of the articles on dis play. During Christmas time Sis ter has a special seasonal album playing on a stereo, also on sale. Records of all types, including chil dren's songs, are available. Recent articles include colorful fuzzy slippers, and study bud dies, designed like earmuffs to shut out voices and noises while a student peruses her books. Sup plies for contact lens users are on sale, and certain items such as nail polish remover pads and small bot tles of perfume seem to be of more interest to the residents, Sister has found. The more residents there are, the more I put out, she ex plained. Take Orders A wide collection of ashtrays, snack and relish dishes, salt and pepper shakers and glasses adorned with the Mundelein emblem may by Mariellen O'Brien be purchased on order in the book store. Matching paper plates, nap kins, coasters and match books in assorted colors are also popular items.

Chaplain Personalizes English Mass; Fuses Liturgy to Contemporary Man The liturgical renewal has be come a main topic of controversy among today's Catholics. While the older, conservative members of the Church regard this reformation as a regression to the Protestant form of worship, the more liberal segment is welcoming the change, for its places the Catholic Church in a strategic position on the con temporary scene. One priest who has made the Mass particularly meaningful to the modern Catholic is Reverend Donald Rooney, a Navy chaplain stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Base. Celebrating a Sodality-sponsored English Mass in McCormick Lounge, Dec. 1, Father made each person a real participant in the ceremony. Explaining that Catho lics must be a community, not just Catholics, Father had everyone gather around the altar for Mass so they might pray together as one body. Instead of a sermon following the Gospel, a discussion was car ried on between the congregation and the celebrant. In this dialogue, the teachings of the Epistle and Gospel were placed in a modern context and made relevant to the life of contemporary man. When the time arrived to beseech God for special intentions, anyone who wished to do so was allowed to express her petition before the Mass continued. Communion was distributed un der both species and Father urged that recipients smile as they ap proach the altar, for they should be happy at this time. To make this essential part of the Mass more personal, Father Rooney ad dressed each person by name while administering the sacrament. by Diane Sargol As the Mass progressed, Father stopped to explain his actions, their source and their meaning so that all might comprehend the greatness of the sacrifice. The celebrant expressed his feel ing that everyone should be allowed to touch all of the sacred vessels because through Baptism and Con firmation all Catholics are Temples of the Holy Spirit and should be permitted to handle these conven tions of the Church. He also sug gested that, rather than these ex pensive conventions, the priest use the familiar cup and saucer to give the celebration the appearance of a meal as man knows it today. The extreme adherence to tradi tion has caused the Mass to lose much of its meaning to modern man, he continued. One thing out of the missal age, Father ex plained, is that we have lost the knack of listening. The responses and actions at the Mass have be come so habitual no one listens (Continued on Page 4) National Association Commends Skyscraper Editors, Reporters The Catholic School Press As sociation, a national organization judging the work of Catholic high school and college journalists, gave the Skyscraper staff three first places and seven honorable men tions for 1964-65. The association recently awarded former Skyscraper editor, Mary Etta Talarico, first place in the editorial category. Mary Etta also placed first in the news story di vision of the contest and won an honorable mention for feature writing, while Rae Paul, former associate editor, won first place in feature writing. Other honorable mentions went to senior, Mariellen O'Brien, for her news story, Rahner's Philoso phy Explains Man's Free Choice of God, and to Nancy Vanden berg, a junior, for Traditional Re ligious Liberty Keynotes Murray's Lecture. Both were reports on lectures delivered at the Washing ton seminar Freedom and Man, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, 1964; Nancy's and Mariellen's stories appeared in the each other. Now racks have been set up and paperbacks separated into nine categories, simplifying the task of finding a particular publication. The number of book titles this year is approximately 2,000, compared to last year's 1,000. Through Sister's efforts, the pub lishers donated all the racks for the bookstore. Sister Mary Julietta welcomes all suggestions and requests for keeping the bookstore a convenient place for student needs.

Show Features Sketches, Oils By Wieghardt The formal opening of an ex hibit containing more than 50 pieces of work by Chicago artist Paul Wieghardt and his wife, sculptress Nelli Bar, was held Dec. 6 at Mundelein College's Gallery 8. Studies Klee Wieghardt, who studied with Paul Klee, noted Swiss abstract artist and prolific painter, became a United States citizen in 1946. He has exhibited in Paris, taught at the Chicago Art Institute and is now a faculty member of the Illinois Institute of Technology art department and of the Evanston Art Center. Artist in her own right, Nelli Bar has displayed her work at the Chicago Art Institute, British- American Art Center in New York and IIT. Mrs. Wieghardt's art shown in Gallery 8 includes 17 fig ures in terra cotta, metal and clay. Teaches Course During the summer of 1964, Mr. Wieghardt taught a six-week course in oil painting at Mundelein. Describing his technique, former student Jeanette Nodus said that the artist's approach is struc tural; he starts with a figure and builds his painting up around it. His colors are pleasing and spar ingly applied. An observer and fellow-artist at the exhibition added, His draw ings have a softness and round ness of line; they flow within the frames. The Chicago artist frames his own pictures. More than 100 persons attended the opening of the exhibition and the reception for the artists host essed by members of the Art Club. Ten paintings and drawings were sold for prices ranging from 65 to 150 on opening night of the exhibit. The exhibit will run through Jan. 3.
