On such days many a student packs up her blotters and heads for conso lation at The Union. Not so I. Despair is a luxury not to be indulged in when term-papers call. I would much rather peer out the window at the brilliant pink house across the street. In fact, bad manners aside, that is exactly the thing to do press one's nose against the pane and marvel at the mys tery across the street. How it ever got there in the first place is a puzzle. Spanish and Italian type homes are common in a hot climate but rare in the north. Yet this is the least of its talents. The color is the thing a Van Gogh lover would appreciate. But let's not delve into the why and wherefrom of the object. It is there to be enjoyed. It is a testimony, a veritable monument to free enterprise. The archi tect was obviously a creature determined to put a new wrinkle in the physique of Sheridan road. l:or which I thank him. In a world crammed with the grey and brown of conventionality it is rejuvenating to dis cover the vagabond, the lonely objector which scorns its brooding brown neigh bors and sends a pink wink to all who puss. It is, indeed, one of the brighter spots in student life. ecuted by members of the club, will use such music as On the Town, Blues in the Night, Varsity Drag, Gone with the Wind, Stardust, and Manhattan Serenade.

SAC speaks up about power and auth ority, and hopes that some miscon ceptions can be clarified and some questions answered. To begin at the beginning, everyone knows that authority comes from God, of course. The question which con fronts us, however, is: From whom, and how, and how much is authority dele gated? At Mundelein the ultimate govern ment is recognized unquestionably to be the Administration. But because Mundelein students are commonly re garded as young women, and there fore to some degree responsible for themselves, much of the governing ma chinery has been passed on to the Stu dent Activities Council, with the Ad ministration assisting in an advisory capacity. v This seems to be (and in the past has proved to be) a wise course of action. The SAC was instituted as the legal form of student participation in the government of Mundelein college when the student body accepted the Consti tution in 1931. From this Constitution the SAC derives the powers, duties, and responsibilties to operate. SAC, to be a truly successful and a fully effective organ of government, as it was de signed to be, must fulfill the duties, live up to the responsibilties, and use the powers which have thus been delegated to it. In the Constitution we find that the Student Activities Council is the of ficial body which is to act as a liason between the faculty and students, to crystalize and make effective the best of student opinion, and to direct the activities of the student body so as to insure the general welfare of the col lege community. This is a broad definition of aims, duties, and powers, just as the Consti tution of the United States is broad in its statements. Constitutions neces sarily must be. As the college SAC Constitution is similar to the national, so the college government resembles the national, without the divisions into branches and with the Administration in a supervisory, and ultimately exec utive role. As in national elections it is neces sary to choose good representatives thdughtfully, so equally in our college community is it obligatory carefully to deliberate so that responsible mem bers are seated on the Council. Once the Council for the year is chosen it must begin to act in accord ance with its honest interpretation of the constitution. Then it is, and must be, free to act under the constitution, to fulfill its duty of governing the stu dent body in the sincere interests of the general welfare. As election time nears, SAC urges evfery student to familiarize herself with the Constitution and with the candi dates' knowledge of, and thought upon it, so that future Councils will find ac tive support and assistance in should ering their responsibilities, upholding their authority, fulfilling their duties, and using their powers.
