Page Two - The SKYSCRAPER - May 31; 1968 Editorial A Day in the Life I read the news today, oh boy About a lucky girl who made the grade And though the news was rather good Well I just had to recall When she came In the fall She blew her mind out in the books She didn't notice that the world had changed A crowd of students stood and stared They'd seen her face somewhere Nobody was really sure If she was from here or the college over there She saw a class today, oh boy The English prof had just won the case The crowd of defendants turned away But she just had to look Having read the book She'd love to be turned on Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across her head Found her way downstairs and drank a cup Looking up she noticed she was late Found her coat and grabbed her hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found her way upstairs and had a smoke A professor spoke and she went into a dream I read the news today, oh boy Three hundred-thirty graduate here next week And though their grades were often low They had to count them ail Even though what they learned Is found in the living Of the daily birth Of their thousand days The encounters that turned them on SKYSCRAPER photo hy Kathleen Cummin HOBO DINNER REVELERS Anne Crawford.

Both Mundelein and Loyola students enjoyed hot dogs, hamburgers and cokes at the residents' annual end-of-the-year dinner. Stormy skies failed to hamper students' spirits as typical comments were, While you're up, how about getting me another two ham burgers, four hot dogs, three cokes, and if you can. how about . . . ? Sounding Board Determination, Termination, oh boy Commuter Criticisms Having read last week's edi torial on obtaining new library hours, I personally do not see how the present library hours are geared to a commuter col lege. Nevertheless, 1 am sure the ever-decreasing brave band of L riders would be more than happy to comply with new library hours geared to the ever-increasing multi tude of dorm-livers. However, it is not this par ticular matter I am concerned with but with the general tendency of the resident ma jority to blatantly assume that Mundelein is 100 (or at least 99 44/100 ) pure resident. This tendency is evidenced: 1) in the aforementioned edi torial, 2) in the survey, also mentioned in last week's is sue, that asked residents only of their views on the dress code, 3) in the flyers scattered about our beloved locker room last week concerning some spring frolic and admitting only girls with meal tickets, and in other policies and events too numerous to men tion here. (For a complete and up-to-date list of griev ances contact the commuter of your choice.) We commuters are not a vi olent group, although in our emotion-ridden moments o f despair, some of us radicals have considered forming the MAACR (Mundelein Associa tion for the Advancement of Commuter Rights), taking over the library, bookstore, and bursar's office, and de manding a 40 quota of com muters. But we really do not ask much. All we ask. resi dent student body, is that you occasionally listen to the voices crying out from the depths of darkness, dampness, and dirty floors. Thank you. Nancy Rychtarczyk Peace Demonstrator's Response As a participant in the April 27 peace march. I would like lo make several comments on a letter which appeared in Sounding Board last week. Margaret Desmond suggest ed that the marchers were ir responsible in their choice of a parade route, contributed to the tension and were ill-in formed. The demonstrators had the same right to have a parade in the heart of Chica go's busy Loop on a busy Sat urday afternoon as did the participants in the Loyalty Day Parade or St. Patrick's Day Parade. Although the demonstrators were a little irritated over the long delays caused by making a crowd of 9,000 move in two's, they readily complied with police orders. Even when the CPD, having thrown one demonstrator into the pool at the Civic Center, pushed the crowd back from the area in which it had a permit to stand, the demonstrators moved back as best they could. Those who were un able to get out of the way were clubbed. I admit the march could have been better organized. That the demonstrators knew the parade route and about the planned ceremony at the Civic Center was not enough. The Parade Committee did learn from this experience, however, and took police protection Into account when they planned the follow ing week's parade. This dem onstration was accompanied by a medical truck, numerous monitors with walkie-talkies, observers and photographers. As if by magic, the large area roped off the week before shrunk to the small area which was actually being re paired and the rally went off without incident. The violence which occurred on April 27 was due not to the tension created by the dem onstrators (if anything, the marchers in the following week's march were more tense), but to the way the po lice handled the situation.
