A reputable Confusian corollary states that It is as difficult a task to earn the lowest academic grade as it is to surpass an entire class in degree of knowledge. Lamenting the number of schol ars who exceed one's own ability to cram successfully is a common ex perience among students. They dream of gay 90's when tests are being returned and look askance at the proverbial curve-raisers. But the revery is one-sided. Confusius says, The wise man con- sidereth both halves of the whole. Whereupon he adds, Distinction is the fruit of extremes. Now, what matter from which extreme the dis tinction comes? If the world praise one extreme, does that make the otiiA,' * ?: wort?** of renown? Have you ever examined the suc cess at the lower end of the aca demic curve? Day after day, se mester after semester, students achieve less than you. One in every class achieves least of all. Dean of Admissions' Schedule Includes Conference, Meeting Speaking engagements for Sister Mary St. Ida, B.V.M., director of admissions, include a conference at Marywood School for parents and a Catholic college meeting at Downcasf Glances Reveal Differing Features Afoot by Pat Krochmal Mundelein modes skip from boots to bedroom slippers as almost every kind of footwear imaginable trods the campus. The ambulator angle was revealed by a poll which posed What type of shoes do you wear to school? Mary Killean, senior: I wear green patent leather pumps with Cuban heels to school and once here I change to my pink satin bedroom slippers. Seriously, I wear red leather tie shoes with pointed toes. Mary Chacko, sophomore: Silver and red sandals go with the native dress of India. Sister Mary Fabian, B.V.M., senior: Oxfords. They're so chic with black. Kathy Fardy, sophomore: These are called stacked heels? I didn't know. I bought them on impulse I don't like them at all. Ruth Marie Wieman. freshman: Loafers. They're more com fortable than any other kind of Jo Anne Miks, sophomore: Bright scarlet gum drops. Oh, do I like them? They brighten up my outfit. Maureen Murphy, senior: What else but sneakers? Origi nally white, of course, and don't leave out my unforgettable loafers. Comfort's always a comfort. Maureen O'Brien, junior: I wear Keds with either socks or stockings, or flats with stockings. Barbara Riley, freshman: I wear cowboy boots because Lamumba likes them. (Lamumba is a horse.) DePaul University. Sister will speak on the value of a college education at the confer ence for Marywood students' par ents scheduled for Nov. 7 at the school. College financing and testing programs was the topic of the area Catholic college meeting, Oct. 28, led by Sister Mary St. Ida. The meeting, held at DePaul Univer sity, was designed to aid Catholic high school counselors. Representatives at the meeting included three students from the following colleges: DePaul, Loyola, Rosary, Saint Xavier, Barat, St. Francis of Joliet, Saint Procopius, Lewis and Mundelein. In addition to these commit ments, Sister was recently ap pointed to the National Advisory Board for College Clearinghouse in Evanston. Clearinghouse is con ducted by the Association of Col lege Admission Counselors who aid high school students in gaining col lege entrance. Take heart, then. If you have vied for the top of the academic curve without success, perhaps your talents lie in the opposite di rection. But, you say, I have never consciously competed in this area. How do I begin? Confusius has set down seven basic principles de signed to insure success. Principle 1. Registration. The disciple shall sign into more classes than she can possibly manage. This will start her off on the left foot. Principle 2. Class Preparation. The disciple should prepare for each class . . . during the preceding class. This will puncture two tires with the same nail. Principle 3. Attendance. Never under any circumstances, should the disciple cut a class. Are not total failure and faithful class attend ance such opposites that the recon ciling of the two in the same person stands forth as a great achieve ment? Principle 4. Class Participation. There should be none. Principle 5. Worry. The disci ple shall worry about the state of her grades. If they are C's, she should be painfully uneasy; if B's, renew all efforts; if A's . .. despair. Principle 6. Time. Basic to failure is commitment to the belief in more time tomorrow. Principle 7. Examinations. Let one comment suffice. Lack of at tention to exams may hoist the dis ciple up on the curve away from her cherished goal. If the disciple is not successful she will have ample opportunity for success, since her goal assures her many a year in college before she will qualify for graduation. Explain Armenian Rite The Reverend Nersus Baboorian, of the Armenian Rite, will visit here Tuesday, Nov. 14, and speak in 405 at 1:10 p.m. Father Baboorian will exhibit Armenian Rite vestments and will discuss the differences in liturgy between this rite and the Roman rite. He is presently stationed at St. Gregory Parish. Missionary Predicts East-West Reunion Through Knowledge Reunion of Catholic and Ortho dox Churches is probable, Father F. Wilcock, S.J., predicted to an assembly in 405 last Thursday. Founder of the Russian Center at Fordham University, Father Feo dor Wilcock, S.J., is the present director of Russian Catholic Refu gees in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Father said Mass in the Byzantine Rite and spoke to the Mundelein stu dents at the invitation of Mr. Al Wilkins of the Citizen Board. The Eastern Rites are, Father feels, the links by which the Ortho dox Faiths will unite with the Catholic Church. Recognition of the authority of the Pope is the only basic point of disagreement. Father stated further that the present separation is due to psy chology, that is, a difference of custom and mind set on such things as reverence for the altar and pref erence in private prayer. The only way we can ever have reunion is if both sides will see the other's point of view, Father added. However, charity and under standing must exist among the Rites of the Church, he continued, before those outside will be drawn to it. Father advocated that educated Catholics attend the Masses of other Rites to break down prejudice and create a meeting ground for understanding. Sounding Board (Continued from Page 2) Justice project has been received from Walter Williams, former stu dent body president of Jackson State College and current adminis trator of the Southern Student Freedom Fund of NSA. He states that the quick financial response and the tangible concern expressed by Mundelein students in the hour of the Mississippi racial crisis have given courage and determina tion to those students who are bravely striving for freedom and equality. Sue Brown NSA Coordinator Dear SAC: You have always advocated com munication; what happened Friday, Oct. 20 ? That night at the north side re gional meeting of the sophomore class, several of us were informed that a vote had been taken on the question of required SAC assem blies. It seems that publicity consisted of one small card on the SAC bulle tin board and two torn pieces of paper on the elevator doors. Why couldn't the empty space on the Dean's Board have been utilized? Is this your idea of a secret bal lot ? We object to the lack of publicity on such an important issue. The North Side Regional Group of the Sophomore Class shoe at least to me. SURE-FOOTED STUDENTS step into campus whirl on a variety of soles: boots, sandals, square toes, Oxfords, sneakers, pumps, flats and loafers.
