Double-Feature Speak-Easy Views Unwed Mothers, TV Broadcasting Speak-Easy, May 10, featured two speakers: one on a serious so cial problem, the other on the light side of life. Emphasizing that we delude ourselves if we think there is any panacea for the problems of the unwed pregnant adolescent, Mrs. Mattie K. Wright spoke about the Communities Service Project for unwed mothers set up under the Mental Health Division of the Chicago Board of Health. The pilot pro gram, of which Mrs. Wright is co-director, be gan in 19 6 3 M;ittio Wri hl J** J * * * 169,000 from the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare and has served 105 girls in its three years. The program has two objectives ac cording to Mrs. Wright: To provide willing girls the opportunity to continue school ing during pregnancy. To develop a policy of implied by Mary McMorrow contact between the Mental Health Division and other city agnecies to aid the unwed pregnant adolescent. The girls in the program range from 11 to 16 years with 14 the median age. The fathers, whom the program strives to reach and aid through interviews, are be tween 14 and 34 years old with 17 the median age. When questioned about the causes behind unwed pregnancies, Mrs. Wright said, We make a hor rible mistake to single out one or two factors. In 50 per cent of the cases, however, the girls come from families where only the mother or grandmother rules the home and often these girls are forced to assume extra household burdens. 'Thus, girls are often catapulted into taking the responsi bilities of the mother in the home without commensurate gratifica tions of a marriage relationship, Mrs. Wright pointed out. Mrs. Wright explained that the girls involved in the program re ceive education from a staff teach ing the academics and home arts, medical help throughout the preg nancy and mental help from a psy chiatrist and psychologists. In ad dition St. Xavier School of Nurs ing has provided students working towards masters' degrees in psy chiatric nursing to aid the girls. Weekly group meetings consist ing of girls presently in the pro gram, their mothers and former participants revolve around the problems of the unwed mother and they have many, Mrs. Wright stressed. In summation Mrs. Wright stated that she believed the pro gram is offering a constructive aid to make the unwed mother realize that this must not seem to be the end of the road but that she can pick up and go on. The unwed pregnant mother, Mrs. Wright observed, is part and parcel of an inequitable society. Speak-Easy then switched to an entirely different facet of life as Lee Phillip, hostess for two shows, The Lee Phillip Show and Lee Phillip's Chicago on WBBM-TV observed that for every one per son on local television there are 36 others directly concerned with him behind the sight of the camera. (Continued on Page 4) Skyscraper Photo by Nancy Vandenberg ONE OF THOSE who has Trouble with Angels, Mary Wickes dis cusses her role as gym instructor with Skyscraper reporters, Jennifer Joyce, Jean Durall and Marilyn Gibbs. Miss Wickes will be recipient of the Mary Courtney Award, May 27 at the benefit dinner. Education Plan Aids Parochial Teachers students may apply those credits toward graduation and teacher cer tification. Theology credits earned through the Religious Education Program are also transferable. Details of the program will be mailed to all area elementary school principals during the week of May 18. Deadline for mailing applications is June 3. Under the new Archdiocesan regulations, salaries for parochial teachers holding a degree will be raised to nearly equal the salaries of public school teachers in the area. Responding to the Archdiocesan regulation requiring parochial school teachers to hold a bachelor's degree, Mundelein will inaugurate a Degree Completion Program for Teachers this summer. The new program is designed for mature women currently teaching or planning to teach in Chicago area schools. It will allow partici pants to attend late afternoon or evening classes tailored to their needs within the framework of courses already offered at the Col lege. Three years of teaching ex perience in an elementary class room will entitle the participant to credit for student teaching. An extension of Mundelein's di vision of continuing education, the program is co-directed by Sister Mary Margaret Irene, B.V.M., chairman of the education depart ment, and Dr. Norbert J. Hruby, college vice-president. According to Sister, the program should have great appeal to older women who want to come into teaching. Applicants should be at least 30 years old. In addition to courses offered, the program will feature individual counseling for each applicant and guided course selection aimed at a bachelor's degree with the equiva lent of a minor in education. As in the continuing education format, an applicant may petition for cred its in any course for which she can offer equal experience or compe tence. Co-sponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago and the College, a tui tion reduction plan will be available to participants, who may begin courses during the summer session. Although courses taken under the Archdiocesan Teacher Educa tion Workshop to be held on cam pus this summer are not a part of the degree completion program, Students Select New Officers In a record vote of 82 per cent, the student body elected Mary Ann Griffin MSC president for 1966-67. The May 9 and 10 ballots also chose Marge Sklencar, vice president and Jane Wilzack and Kathy Ward re cording and corresponding secre taries. The six delegates-at-large to the MSC are Mary Balsamo, Mary Barmes, Mary Jane Delisi, Kathy Flynn, Gerry Kurtz and Diana Utz. The academic affairs committee is to be headed by Nancy Podraza, the cultural affairs committee by Barbara Gembara and the rules committee chairman is Sharon At- wood. Carol Ryan is the new chairman of the social arrangements board for the coming year. Kathleen Fer guson holds the position of NSA coordinator and Francine Fetyko as CACU coordinator. It is the decision of the majority of the student body to discontinue affiliation with the NFCCS. Re- affiliation may be considered pend ing the results of a proposed re vamping.
