Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER March 23,1961 YOU ARE X y THE M CHiHICH I 60RR0W joy HUAC Film Stirs Nation-wide Furor by Sue Operation Abolition is coming to Mundelein. This film was submitted to the second session of the 86th Congress by .the House Un-American Activities Committee as a report on the Com munist-led riots in San Francisco. According to the chairman of HUAC, Representative Francis E. Walters of Pennsylvania, .the film illustrates the current drive by the Communists to destroy HUAC, weaken the FBI, discredit J. Edgar Hoover and cripple our security laws. Whether aroused and perpetuated by Communist agents trained in propaganda and agitation, as HUAC and the FBI identify them, or by sincere citizens concerned about alleged violation of civil liber ties, much publicity has been directed against HUAC. On many of the larger college campuses across the nation, small hard-core anti-HUAC groups have been formed. These groups are informed, vocal and willing to devote time to their cause. Whether one agrees with them or not, their effectiveness must be recognized. They know their arguments well and are prepared to attack HUAC, anytime, any place. On March 13, Beta Pi Mu showed Operation Abolition at DePaul University as part of a Impetus to Action Youth Eagerly Accepts Challenge by Nancy Itnyre World-consciousness has recently been stimu lated among college students to an unimagined degree. America, aware of the serious mistakes in the past in dealing with the people of other nations, is now turning to the youth of the land, almost pleading with them to help rectify the past and to work positively toward better world understanding for the future. In view of an almost simultaneous impetus to action by both Pope John XXIII and President Kennedy, youth can no longer escape the issues. One of the most encouraging things brought out at the recent Lay Mission Conference held at Loyola Law School was the willing acceptance by Catholic college students to the call. About 500 people including high school and college stu dents, adults, priests, sisters and brothers, came Spring Almost Here; White Sox Join List by Mary Ann Eiler MUSIC NEW YORK PRO MUSICA, Orchestra Hall, April 15, Tickets 2- 5.

Colleges Establish Programs Although not all of the 500 students may end up in foreign lands, many colleges and universi ties are now working on recently established programs with reference to the missions. Notre Dame has started a group this year who plan to work with the Volunteer Teachers Mission Serv ice as soon as they graduate. For the present they are concentrating on the needs of the Mexi cans in South Bend. But Chicago also has projects in the field of the lay apostolate. Catechetics is now being of fered here at Mundelein to prepare students to bring Christ to the spiritually starved whether here in the city or in the mountains of Chile. The International Catholic Auxiliary is of fering a three-fold program this spring for all those interested in the missions. A missiology course will begin shortly after Easter highlight ing various aspects of the overseas apostolate. A Holy Week program will feature emphasis on the liturgy in the missions and April 15-16 there will be a Study Weekend on home missions at Childerly Retreat Center.

Church Challenges Youth All of this points to great things in the future of the Church. By the very fact of being mem bers of Christ we're called to greatness. The time is gone forever when we can wrap ourselves up in our own little world and anesthetize our selves to the needs of other men who speak dif ferent language or wear strange clothes. We are made in the same image and likeness. There are no longer any limits set on how far we can reach out. It's frightening sometimes to think that we can actually be a part of this epoch-making movement. It calls for going be yond justice; it is embracing all in a tremendous love. Brown program entitled The Communist Menace. A group of students from Roosevelt University dis seminated anti-HUAC literature at the audi torium door. One of these students was granted an opportunity to refute the film. He charged that the film was distorted in time sequence, the police action brutal and the Committee an un constitutional violation of civil liberties. Accompanying the Roosevelt University group was a student from the University of California who took part in the riots, which he described as a democratic demonstration. The democracy of the demonstration was challenged by a DePaul student who stated that the students' disap proval of HUAC was not expressed in the demo cratic tradition but in open defiance of law and order. The members of anti-HUAC groups are usually active in other student organizations, such as NSA and political clubs. These individuals can use such organizations to support their views. This is done by introducing resolutions in which the organization takes a stand on an issue such as HUAC. These resolutions are usually accepted, as the majority of the members are uninformed, and, I fear, not concerned one way or the other. This was exemplified at the NSA Regional Con vention last month. Only the University of Chi cago delegation was prepared to debate HUAC. The choice of adjectives to use in condemning HUAC composed the debate. If the Government had a side, no one was prepared to present it. A resolution calling for the abolition of HUAC was thus passed in the name of the students of the Illinois-Wisconsin Region. For several years representative James Roose velt of California, the anti-HUAC voice in Con gress, has been supporting the abolition of HUAC. In the current 87th Congress he lead a fight to cut HUAC's appropriations. Mr. Roose velt's followers consist of five other congress men, one of them Barret O'Hara from the Sev enth Democratic Ward of Chicago. Despite Mr. Roosevelt's objections, the House of Representa tives gave HUAC Chairman Walters both a standing ovation and a 412 to 6 vote in favor of the appropriations he had requested. Realizing the seriousness of the charges being made by anti-HUAC groups, the Young Demo crats and Young Republicans are giving every Mundelein student the opportunity to see Op eration Abolition and to hear a debate between two well-informed speakers who have very dif ferent views about what happened in San Fran cisco.

Jeanne Miller, Freshman The size and the setup of the paper is good. The pictures add a lot of interest, and the ar ticles cover almost every phase of school life. Elaine D'Ambrosio, Senior I especially like the Letters to the Editor coi tion because it gives us a chance to express our opinions on different situations in school. Dorothy Young, Junior I like the Skyscraper in general but I think Auntie Pumpinella's column is a lot of nonsense. It should contain more about more people. It would be good if the Skyscraper would pro-1 mote the campaign for catechetical work during the summer and for possibly lay work for a year. As a result of last Sunday's mission con ference, action is being taken here at Munde lein for a more active understanding and partici pation by the students. (See editorial in this issue and Feb. 23 issue. Camille Sasso, Sophomore The pictures on the back page of the last issue were effective and I also look forward to Coming on Campus. I think the Skyscraper could con tain more articles on people since most of the students are interested in what their friends are doing and what they have to say. Linda Hoffmann, Freshman There is not enough inter-college news between Loyola and Mundelein. In the last issue, there was no mention of the Loyola Variety Show. I like the variety of articles in the paper and really enjoy Intercollegiate News. I also appreciate having Coming in Chicago, which has places of interest and the cost. Marcia Magiera, Junior I think Coming in Chicago is really indispensa ble. You always have a place to turn to for en tertainment. The idea of having faculty news is good, because in the end the students really benefit from their teachers outside activities. Phyllis Luczak, Freshman I like Coming in Chicago because I know what's going on even if I can't afford it. My parents enjoy the paper also. Skyscraper Soundingboard Dear Editor, The motion passed by SAC regarding the eligibility of officers was supposedly an attempt at clarification. The first motion limited the qualifications of a candidate to the minimum of academic achievement. However the follow ing week, March 6, the motion was amended to read: a student in good standing (i.e. C average) and under no major disciplinary cen sure. When I asked for a clarification, I was given this explanation by SAC members: Any one who has failed in an office the previous year or anyone who goes to Hamilton's every day should not be allowed to run for an office. Is this the SAC's idea of Christian charity? Do you recall the statement in the New Testa ment : Anyone who fails once is through. Or in the second case, can you recall all those com pletely incompetent people who ran for an office and received enough votes to be elected? To the few yes's to this question, I ask you if the student government is not to be a learning part of our education? And doesn't learning some times entail error? But then perhaps an SAC office is for the errorless. I wonder how I slipped through. However, I was probably the last, for now we are taking every precaution to prevent error-making people from getting into office. You students will vote on this. A two-thirds vote of any student SAC assembly will amend our constitution. Does anyone care about lib erty? Aunt Pumpinella, Help Jackie Bergen Junior SAC Rep Dear Editor, Could the candidates for the SAC offices hold open press conferences between nominations and election dates? I feel that there is not enough said, nor is there time to know the candidates' views and why they are running for office with just a nominat ing speech. The candidates could hold these press confer ences at their convenience (posting notices on the SAC board) at which their views on office and school affairs could be answered. Yours truly, Bonnie Piontek, Junior Alumnae Writer Creates Do-lt-Yourself Dog Kit by Kathy Gottschalk The last time you had your palm read did the fortuneteller inform you that there was to be a four-legged friend in your life? If so, the friend may not be that beast you met at the last mixer, but a real, live, make-believe puppy-dog. If you have always wanted a grey and white streaked, shaggy, scissory, lovable sheep dog, yon need a book called Magic Yarn. It's a dream- it-yourself puppy book for good boys and girls. Jane Trahey, the author and a graduate of Mundelein, has designed this book especially for children who live in walk-up apartments (that's the kind with no elevator) and whose parents refuse to allow them to have a dog. These par ents say that the dog would have to be walked four times a day, up and down the stairs, just like the U.S. Mail, in the rain, in the wind and in the snow. You can have a magic yarn dog the same as Adelaide's (she's the little girl in the story). You can take him everywhere just like she did. To school (he never made a sound ). Magic yarn dogs are very, very quiet. To the store (he never bit a thing). Magic yarn dogs are very, very gentle. And being a magic yarn dog, he didn't have to be walked except on exceptionally pretty days, and then only in the afternoons. He didn't need shots, and he never had to go to the Veterinarian, and he never got worms and he never woke papa on Sunday. Don't you wish you had a puppy like that?
