Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER October 4, 1961 Skyscroper Sounding Board f mA* lt; gt;: -.0.. On the air Dear Editor: Is there a parliamentarian in the house? Our all-school SAC meeting was lively, but it was also rather chaotic. To table or not to table and then how to do it? Such problems aren't restricted to SAC meetings. We all seem to be suffering from a case of know-nothingness in parliamen tary procedure. Maybe we should place Robert's Rules on the required reading list. Respectfully, Eileen Raczak '62 Dear Editor, We would like to express our thanks for the new chairs in the tearoom. Even though the nylon manufacturers may not agree, we certainly appreciate them. Diane Szczepanik '62 Mary Jean Bielitzki '62 Dear Editor, In one of those dim recesses of the junior- senior locker room, I overhead the most in triguing rumor. Sue Brown was politically subverted by a handsome radical at the Na tional Student Congress Proof? She voted for the abolition of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, disregarding the wishes of her constituents. While I must regretfully dispel such illu sions of the romantic nature of a National Student Congress (where meetings last most unromantically from 9 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.), perhaps there are some who would prefer to know the reason for my position on HUAC firsthand. Last spring I worked very hard attempt ing to stir up and inform as many students as possible on the HUAC issue. I talked it up in class meetings, worked with the Young Republicans on the showing of Operation Abolition and I invited Leon ard Friedman from the University of Chi cago to debate the Young Americans for Freedom.

During this period, I obtained indications on what the participating students thought. From extensive discussion and the opin ion poll, I saw two main areas of student concern. First, the majority of students I talked with and most of the opinions in the poll indicated that there was a general dissatisfaction with the Committee in its present form, that its procedure and hear ings were a violation of our heritage of freedom of belief and association, and that HUAC needed reform or revision. The other area of student concern was national security. Many felt that Congress should investigate subversive activities. The resolution I voted for called for the abolition of HUAC, specifying that Con gress has both the right and duty to investi gate acts of espionage, sabotage and con spiracies to overthrow by force the govern ment of the United States. USNSA recom mends that these functions be exercised by the Judiciary Committee of the House and Senate respectively. These committees are directed to make investigations leading to legislation dealing with political crimes, the function of the courts and civil liberties. In my judgment, this resolution incorporated the dual con cerns of Mundelein students who expressed opinions: It called for an end to inquiry into beliefs and associations while including provisions for investigation into subsersive activities. If I am to be subpoenaed before the House Un-Mundelein Activities Committee for a purge by the morally indignant, I fear I must invoke the Fifth Amendment as my confession would include having coffee with several rather staid conservatives. Further information on my political and romantic life may be obtained at NSA com mittee meetings. Sue Brown, NSA Delegation Chairman Daisies,BabiesSymbolize Pledge Students, Alumnae Aid College Daisies and babies figure promi nently as symbols for important ac tivities in Mundelein's future. The Daisies of Dollars for Daisies will mark the participation of students in the newly inaugurated Pledge Drive while the babies adorn the bro chures announcing the annual Alum nae Endowment Plan Drive. Each plan has as its aim to aid in the development of a better Munde lein.

A few venture into the school sports picture and find them selves members of the team. Goshen College, Goshen, Ind. Should Christian students be concerned by Maxine Tyma about world problems? New College Features Prompt Student Thanks Take a ride on the elevator to the eighth floor. If you have not been up there since spring, you are in for a surprise. Lighting improvements and a new exhibit area for the art department are examples of the many new fea tures added to Mundelein this fall. We thank the administration for the new lighting on the fifth and eighth floors, new offices on the fifth and seventh floors, and the new run- proof chairs in the tearoom. The new glass windbreak for the west door, and some classes on closed circuit television (making Mundelein the first Catholic college in this area to use it) are two more reasons to be thankful. Virginia Piecuch The people of God must make their weight felt in the practical political situation of 1961 America. They cannot do this by remaining quiet in the face of ultimate disaster. They must be informed, concerned, and active in the cause of peace and justice. To Think or Not Puzzles Delegate The subject matter for Profiles in Courage is not dated and is not lim ited to the halls of Congress. It has been extended to the officers on our campus. The problem is whether elected of ficers are to think for themselves or are they to respect every wish of their constituents. Both the NFCCS and NSA coordi nators, who were elected by the stu dent body last spring, attended na tional congresses. On the matter of the House Committee on Un-Ameri can Activities, one voted for the Com mittee with conditions; the other voted against the Committee. Before an election the voters should be concerned enough to ask the candidates how they stand on cer tain issues. If a candidate receives a sizeable majority in the election, she should certainly take it as a man date from the student body. They have shown that they trust her judg ment. Virginia Piecuch tion figure. The student body raised over 2,000 with 65 per cent partici pation by the students the highest figure in the past six years. The figures in themselves mean lit tle. What is behind these figures is important. They illustrate the fact that the students of Mundelein whether the class of '40 or the class of '62 still labor actively and will ingly for the betterment of the Col lege. For those of you who will have the opportunity to use the new lounge which will receive a greater portion of the funds resulting from this year's drive the rewards will be immediate. But for those of us who will leave Mundelein before the com pletion of the dormitory and for all of the alumnae who have gone before the rewards stem from an inner sat isfaction of having personally repaid a debt accrued during our education. The wholehearted support by the entire student body of the Pledge Plan, that they themselves have adopted, will indicate their accept ance of a tradition which has united Mundelein women since the opening of the school and has helped the Col lege provide for the student body all the facilities which aid in intellectual, social and spiritual growth.
