Page Three - The SKYSCRAPER - February 21,1969 Sounding Board closing coffeehouse On the corner of Sheridan and Kenmore, in the last store front west of the faculty parking lot, there is a small establish ment run by an enterprising student group, for the benefit of the Mundelein College community. This little place, in actuality a coffeehouse, is sometimes lost, indeed, forgotten by the mobs charging up and down Sheridan Road on their way to bigger and better things. The coffeehouse is open nine hours per week, plus three hours preparation and cleaning, and is operated by six two-member committees, under the direction of a two- member Board of Directors. Maintenance: Customers have requested that the decor and facilities of the coffeehouse be changed. The coffeehouse only needs a new hotplate, coffeemaker, popcorn popper and a stereo. Money is lacking, not to men tion insufficient support to un dertake such a great change. Refreshment: Coffee, tea and popcorn are offered nightly; for a mere 25 cents, all you can eat. Financial: This committee is pleased to report that there is a small profit, and that stocks have split two for one in the last month. The coffeehouse is presently totally self-support ing. Who pays the coffeehouse such large sums? This is a critical point. On any given weekend, the Financial Com mittee can count four Munde lein girls and ten personal friends in the place. On a very good (usually cold) night, there are six Mundelein girls. Summary: The situation clearly shows that the coffeehouse has po tential, but that adequate staff, facilities and clientele are absolutely necessary to continue the establishment. If two people continue to work thirteen hours per week for fourteen people, under the present conditions, there is no alternative but to close the coffeehouse within the next month. The initiative has been taken to open the coffeehouse, and it is now the work of the college community to keep it open. It wasn't called Unlim ited Access because it need ed a clever title. Kathy Kennedy Cathy McLeod misinterpreted radical I have no choice but to re spond to the gross misrepre sentations published under the Jan. 24th headline of Apathy deflates radicals' bag. If there is indeed a stigma on SDS and FSM as described GIRLS, do you want a new look, in dresses, suits, and sportswear? At wholesale prices? CALL MISS LEE LEE SAMPLES DI 8-6800 WEBSTER HOTEL in the story, it is partially a result of inaccurate reporting on the part of the Skyscraper. The greeting on my wall In revolution one wins or dies is not a succinct state ment of the philosophy of SDS. It is a quote from Che Guevara, late Latin American revolutionary. To imply that SDS philosophy is based on the existence of such a revo lutionary state is a fallacy. If SDS philosophy is based on anything, it is based upon a desire for change and the pol itics that will bring about that change through revolution. SDS does not support the sentiments or politics that led to the demonstrations during the Democratic National Con vention. SDS had nothing to do with those politics, merely sent 300 people to the city in an attempt to organize other persons who came to Chicago as a result of the call put out by National Mobilization and the Yippies. Perhaps the reason I am presently having difficulty drawing students to a radi cal viewpoint is that for the most part I have not under taken an active political pro gram on the campus this year. My organizing is re stricted to personal relations. In addition, it should be re membered that at this time in U.S. history it is a much sim pler task to organize students from working class back grounds than from upper class backgrounds (mainly the make-up of Mundelein). The Ten Days Against the War in Vietnam held last year at Mundelein was not sponsored by national SDS but by a coalition of Mundelein students. Another point of clarifica tion, FSM is not a front group for SDS. There is not even an SDS chapter on campus to sponsor events through FSM. The FSM speakers wre im properly identified. Charlene Mitchell was presidential can didate for the Communist Party of the United States. Otto Liljenstolpe has neither an S. J. after his name, nor the honor of defending the Cantonsville Nine. He works with the Chicago Peace Coun cil. Rose McKiernan (EDITOR'S NOTE: Sky scraper apologizes for improp erly identifying the FSM speakers and for claiming na tional SDS sponsored The Ten Days Against the War, last spring when in actuality it was sponsored by Mundelein Student Mobilization. The quote that SDS opposes what it describes as 'the U.S. Government's immoral, illegal and genocidal war . . . was taken from a leaflet entitled An Introduction SDS. Printed by SDS, it was dis tributed on campus last fall.) bookstore blues I am writing to complain about the functioning of the book-store at Mundelein. It is my understanding that the purpose of a college bookstore is first to supply the students with books for courses which they are taking and second to offer them a sample of good reading material should they be interested in reading some thing which is not required for a class. Isn't it surprising, then, that in a college the size and qual- FIGHT FOR CLEAN THEMES Refuse anything but Eaton's Corrasable Bond Typewriter Paper Mistakes vanish.

To my blurred eyes the bookstore now looks like the local dimestore just before kindergarten opens rather than like a college bookstore. Perhaps the people who run this portion of our institution should reexamine their duties and reset their priorities.
