Music Recital Will Feature Four Periods Musical selections from the Ba roque, Classic, Romantic and 20th Century periods will form the program of the music department's recital, Jan. 26, 8 p.m. in the Col lege Theater. Sister Joan Leland, music de partment, will provide comments on the characteristics and styles of each period. Voice students, Denise Pleshar and Eileen Carroll, will perform works by Baroque composers of the early 17th century. The melodies are beautifully lyrical and some times highly ornamented, with chordal and often dissonant accom paniment Two students will perform works by Beethoven, who is considered the link between the Classic and Romantic styles. JoAnne Pekkari- nen will perform a movement from Beethoven's Sonata Op. 2, No. 2 and Elizabeth Prochotsky will play the Scherzo from his Sonata Op. 14, No. 2. The Romantic style which began with Beethoven was developed by such composers as Schubert and Liszt. Maureen Tuman will play the Impromptu Op. 90, No. 4 by Schubert. His works exhibit song like melodies and tremendous cli maxes. Liszt's compositions are known for their technical difficulty and stormy texture. His Valse Oub- liee, which Susan Wright will play, also has the virtuoso quality typical of Liszt. A revolution in musical styles occurred at the be ginning of the 20th century. Works by two distinctly contem porary composers, Aaron Copland and Villa-Lobos, will conclude the program. Roxanne Munch will per form Copland's composition, The Cat and the Mouse, which uses his characteristic odd rhythms and strange harmony to describe the cat's chase and the mouse's elu- siveness. Nancy Vandenberg will play Brazilian Villa-Lobos' The Devil's Whip, a piece which combines a driving, incessant rhythm with oc casional whimsical accompaniment Villa-Lobos has written more than 2,000 works, many of which defy description. Si udcrap Lnad Mundelein, Aldolphus Hold Dialogue; Collegians View Inner City Dilemmas Approximately 20 students from Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Col lege, St. Peter, Minn., a member of Central States College Associa tion (CSCA), took part in an in ter-faith discussion in Mundelein's Religious Education Center, Jan. 16. The general discussion, directed by Victoria Baldino, theology de partment, consisted of a dialogue on the Catholic Church's involve ment in race problems in the Inner City area. Afterwards, small dis cussion groups allowed for a more intensive and comprehensive dis cussion on these dilemmas. The students are members of an urban church course which probes problems in both a theological and sociological perspective. Professor Robert Esbjornson, chairman of THE SKYSCRAPER Mundelein College 6863 Sheridan Rd., Chicago, 111., 60626 The Winter of Discontent (mid way betwixt the Fall of Fell Feel ing and the Spring of Despond ency) is upon us, and the long seige begins. Snow outlives its usefulness after Christmas, unless you're a skier, which most Mun delein girls obviously are not else we'd have January off, like our cosmopolitan cousin, Barat. It pays to cultivate a few non-intellectual skills. Disgruntled freshman intellec tuals are peeling desperate eyes for the imposing list of existentialists that, according to Jane Trahey's Commonweal ads, they were to en counter before their first year was out. After one term at Mundelein and still no sign of Sartre, Kierke- gaarde etc., canny souls are begin ning to suspect foul play. Disproving the old adage that the only card game you learn at college is Bridge, recent products of Math I (popularly known as scientific gambling) are anticipat ing lucrative careers as profes sional poker players, when not wondering what to do with the decks of cards they wore out doing their homework. How's that for practical application? In these slim times was it really necessary to spend 100 worth of class gift money on such a negative project as knocking out the wall of the smoking lounge? Granted, it was only fair to distribute the smoke more evenly and equalize everyone's chances of asphyxiation. But wouldn't it have been cheaper (even more profitable) to allow students to vent their aggressions with sledgehammers at ten cents a crack? Registration is one instance in which no small-college woman would balk at being a number fed into a computer. Numbers don't get charley-horses from sprinting across gym floors, or realize with a pang that if they were to faint while waiting for their envelopes there would be no room to collapse. Speaking of baffling arrange ments, many are still trying to grasp the logic behind the report- card mailing policy. Why did some And these happy dispatches with their Christmas cards, while others lived in blissful ignorance till school started? Noticed those strategically planted placards, allegedly from the Loyola psych department, so liciting girl subjects for a survey on dating habits of the average college female? In relating the frequency of dates to the behavior and idiosyncrasies of the typical college girl, our friends next door seem to be overlooking a crucial factor, in fact, the main obstacle to wholesale dating: the behaviour and idiosyncrasies of the typical college boy. Still puzzling over that opening week phenomenon, the bookstore barricade? How else could they fend off would-be shoplifters half- crazed by mounting book prices? The main incentive to off-campus living mult be freedom from the sordid realities of dorm life: chrome polishing and neatening. These menial tasks were imposed on already pressure-dogged stu dents in the naive hope of post poning the inevitable collapse of the dorm buildings a few more years. Northland is admittedly of a dif ferent view, but denizens of spank ing-new Coffey Hall shouldn't get too smug; there are always tidal waves. With little elfin footprints point ing out the straight and narrow, errant students need never again fear getting lost in the cavernous recesses of Coffey Hall's secret subterranean pass to the library. And at tunnel's end, a genial Char ley Brown (genius of Mundelein) signals students that they have suc cessfully negotiated The Library- inthine Way. Now what about the secret tunnel under the sky scraper? Constructively yours, Tully the religion department of Gusta vus College, said that The urban church course is designed to in crease knowledge and understand ing of the urban revolution that is profoundly affecting our lives, the strategies of mission in the churches of the city, and the people who live and work in the city. Furthermore, Professor Es bjornson indicated a need for bridges of understanding between separated groups in our society and our churches. He hoped that such a designated course would help the participants to become more concerned about helping to meet the challenge of urban life and to make some con tribution toward the solution of the many problems of our society. Besides the 20 Gustavus stu dents, participants included lead ers from CALM and Upward Bound, religious leaders, lay per sons in Chicago and members of Mundelein's faculty.
