March 1,1966 THE SKYSCRAPER Page Five Plan Cooperative Studies Through CSCA Membership Review Features Skill; Alums Survey Entries The Central States College As sociation (CSCA) which Munde lein joined this month has tre mendous advantages for the Col lege, asserted Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, in a recent Sky scraper interview. Sister pointed out that since many programs proposed by the As sociation are either too large or too expensive for one institution to carry out, the joint efforts of 12 colleges and universities are more effective. As a member of CSCA, which was incorporated in Illinois in April, 1965, Mundelein would bene fit from a proposed 500,000 Ford Foundation grant requested to im plement development programs in more than 20 academic areas. Plans call for cooperation in study in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa. All members have been invited to join those pro grams already sponsored by mem ber colleges. New foreign study programs will be established in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Science programs include the joint use of instructional and re search facilities and the formation of separate committees in physics, chemistry, biology, geology and geography. A CSCA Institute in Mathematics for advanced math students will be offered in 1967 un der a National Student Foundation grant. Since a high percentage of CSCA graduates enter teaching careers, Mundelein has invited all members to join the Inner City Teaching Program in cooperation with the Chicago Public School System. The college has offered to provide stu dent teachers with as much hous ing space in the city as possible. Another approved plan is the joint appointment and funding of European, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu scholars in religion, litera ture, history and philosophy. This cooperation would reduce the total cost for each institution and would allow the scholar to spend more time on the campuses. Other tentative plans include the employment of closed circuit TV for academic use within and among member colleges, and a tele-lecture series in public affairs during the 1966-67 school year. Other member colleges of the As sociation include: Augustana, Rock Island, 111., Lutheran; Simpson, In- dianola, la., Methodist; Illinois Wesleyan, Bloomington, 111., Metho dist; Alma College, Alma, Mich., Presbyterian; Carroll College, Waukesha, Wis., United Presby terian; Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn., Lutheran; Luther College, Decorah, la., Lutheran; MacMurray College, Jacksonville, 111., Methodist; Manchester College, North Manchester, Ind., Church of Brethren; Millikin University, Decatur, 111., Presbyterian; and St. John's College, St. Paul, Minn., Catholic. U. S. District Attorney Accosts Citizens with Social Abdication Individual commitment to the exercise of justice was stressed by Edward V. Hanrahan, U.S. Attor ney for the northern district of Illinois since 1964, at the Feb. 22 Speak-Easy. There is no such thing as segmented justice, he de clared. You must commit yourselves in order to protect yourselves. Terming jury duty a little bit of a divine act, Hanrahan ex plored the ramifications occurring when a person like yourself ab dicates his responsibility. Whom do you want to make Skyscraper Photo by Nancy Vaodenberg U.S. Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan these decisions (to determine a man's fate) yourself or the seamy side of the community? he asked. Describes Problem Furthermore, he added, law en forcement security is a terrible problem in secret Grand Judy pro ceedings, one of the Justice De partment's basic means of obtain ing information. Often you find a 'ringer' (on the jury) who is willing to sell in formation ... he fills the vacuum you reject, the attorney said. Hanrahan also charged the gen eral community, due to its unco operative attitude, with responsi bility for crime and police corrup tion. To me, that's intolerable, he asserted. Who's more to blame, the lawyer challeged, the policeman with five kids to feed or the motor ist who offers him 10? Questions Motive Regarding juice loan sharks who charge exorbitant interest rates, Hanrahan expressed amaze ment at the number of people with out criminal intent who patronize the racketeers. When threatened for non-payment, many frightened victims refuse to testify, he said and shrugged, Until people are affected, nothing will be done. Referring specifically to the Gi- ancana case, Hanrahan continued, It's a myth that a man is killed if he talks. Chicago crime syndi cate leader Sam Giancana refused immunity from prosecution and went to jail rather than testify be fore a Grand Jury. The community should be alarmed, Hanrahan emphasized, because by refusing to testify for fear of bodily harm, you set up a super-state above the government that guides you. Favors Bill In response to a student's ques tion, Hanrahan admitted that he favors a court-authorized wire-tap ping bill, already passed by five states. It's foolish to ignore the telephone ... as the most essential tool of crime planning, he said. Similar to a search warrant, such a wire-tapping permit could be granted for 60 days by one of 11 judges to prevent crime, he ex plained. Abuse would cancel the privilege. Appears on TV Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, will appear on the David Suskind show, Open End, which will be taped March 2. Sister will discuss The Changing American Nun with Sister Mary Jacqueline, S.L., president of Webster College, Webster Groves, Mo., Sister Mary Charles Borremeo, C.S.C., chairman of the theology de partment, St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind., and Sister Mary Corita, I.H.M., chairman of the art department, Immacu late Heart College, Los Angeles. Countering the objection that tapping of public phones would constitute an invasion of privacy for anyone using the phones, Han rahan concluded, Police don't have time for piddling romantic con versations. The Review, Mundelein's literary magazine, scheduled to be published early this May will feature short stories, poems, essays, editorials and reviews. This year, the Review, edited by Bonnie Rochetto, and under the di rection of Mrs. David Spencer, will be larger than in previous years be cause the issue will appear just once instead of semiannually. The deadline for all entries is March 4. The annual Lusk Creative Writ ing Awards (honoring the liter ary achievement of writers for the Review and the Skyscraper) will be announced in the Review. This year Lusk judges will be Mundelein alumnae and former Lusk Award winners. Miss Nancy Nowik, Mundelein alumna and a winner of the Lusk poetry prize, will judge poetry en tries. Miss Nowik has received her M.A. degree from Stanford Univer sity, and is now in her second year of teaching at the University of Santa Clara in California. Essays will be judged by Miss Irene Skala, a Mundelein graduate and past winner of the Lusk essay prize. Miss Skala has received her M.A. degree from the University of Chicago, and is continuing work there on her Ph.D. in medieval lit erature. Miss Jane Trahey, Mundelein alumna and author of Life with Motlier Superior, which is about to be released as a movie, The Trouble with Angels, starring Rosalind Russell and Hayley Mills, will judge short stories. Editorials will be judged by Miss Patricia Krochmal, a former Sky scraper editor and now reporter- photographer for the Elgin Daily Courier-News. Miss Krochmal is a two-time winner in the editorial division of the CSPA national writ ing contest. Miss Rae Paul, associate editor of the Skyscraper last year, will judge the reviews. Miss Paul, now editorial assistant of the Illinois Dental Journal, won the Lusk Award in 1965 for her editorial on Cardinal Meyer, and also merited first place in the CSPA feature writing contest. MSC Instates New Officers With a unanimous vote at the Feb. 16 MSC meeting, the offices of social chairman, rules commit tee chairman and corresponding secretary were filled by three girls who ran unopposed for the posts. The new officers are Loretta Nicolussi, social chairman, Sharon Atwood, rules committee chairman, and Ann Marie Zei, corresponding secretary. Before election, the can didates were approved by the Dean of Students, and their platforms were published in the AfSC Outlook. Since the MSC constitution states that any one objection by a mem ber of the student body can elimi nate a unanimous vote called for by a temporary election committee and MSC executive board, all students were invited to participate in the vote or voice any objections at the Feb. 16 meeting. Exciting Music Happens When the and the Boston Pops Recorded live at Tanglewood -the musical meeting of America's foremost inter preter of popular classics with the man who created so many of them. In this new album, Arthur Fiedler and Duke Ellington play 12 of the Duke's tunes, arranged to make the most of the combined talents of the Boston Pops, the Duke's own sidemen on bass and drums, with the Duke himself at the piano. Here's a new big band sound that r ly takes off. Included in this swinging study of essential Ellingtonia are Caravan, Mood In digo, Sophisticated Lady and Satin Doll, with liner notes by the Duke himself. You'll love it madly.
