n Vol. XXXVI Mundelein College, Chicago 26, 111., Dec. 15, 1965 No. 6 Review Family of Man Doctrine; Adam Possibly 'Corporate Person' New Fund Drive Opens Tomorrow The public phase of Mundelein's development drive will open Dec. 16 with a kickoff luncheon at Chicago's Mid- America Club in the club's 39th floor quarters atop the Pru dential Building. Chairman of the general fund-raising campaign is Ward L. Quaal, president of WGN, Inc., who will act as host and general master of ceremonies The relationship between the sin of Adam and the sins of the world is a source of conflict for many believers today because they find it difficult to accept that they should be affected by the sin of a problematic man of several thou sand years ago. Moving from the sparse dogmatic statements made at the Council of Trent to theologi cal speculation on the notion of corporate personality, Reverend Jean de Fraine, SJ., dean of the Jesuit school of theology at Lou- vain, and guest professor at St. Mary's Seminary, St. Mary, Kan., probed the relation between Adam and his progeny in a lecture Adam and the Family of Man, Dec. 4 in McCormick Lounge. The concept of corporate per sonality is present whenever an individual is functionally identi fied with the community while re maining an individual person, Fa ther explained. It further suggests an extension of time beyond the present moment, encompassing both past and future, and this, the theologian said, is a participating extension through which the group and the individual together make one reality. Although corporate personality does not appear as a term in the Bible, the notion of fluidity between the individual and society is very evident, Father asserted. Citing biblical references to support his position, Father de Fraine stated that Adam is not usually used as a proper name in the Bible, but generally refers to collective man kind. Adam, then, Father said, at one and the same time, is individual Choose Queen Candidates for Christmas Ball The Mundelein Student Congress will hold the annual Skyscraper Ball at the Furniture Mart Inn, 666 Lake Shore Drive, Dec. 28, from 9 p.m. to midnight. The ball, under the direction of Sharon Pavett, Social Arrange ments Board chairman; Joyce Plen- nert, Queen's Committee chairman; Marilyn Gibbs, Dance Committee chairman and Roxann Schaar, pub licity chairman, will be highlighted by the crowning of the 1965 Sky scraper Ball queen. Queen candi dates nominated by the senior class are: Gloria Ciucci, Tina De Rosa, Liz Gordon and Joyce Plennert. Each couple attending the dance will cast one vote to elect the queen. Members of the queen's court chosen by their respective classes are junior, Pat Madl, sopho more, Ginger McMullen and fresh man, Kathy Owen. Bids for the ball are on sale in the Lounge area at 5. by Sister Mary Virginia Anne, B.V.M. man, and the incarnation of all mankind. God, therefore, deals with the whole human race when dealing with Adam, Father con tinued. Turning to the revelation of St. Paul (Romans 5:12-21) one man sinned ... all have sinned . . . all are guilty ; Father commented that this is true only if Adam is the human race. Only then do we rightly share his guilt. Quoting widely from Protestant and Catholic theologians in order to focus on various facets of the concept of the corporate person, Father showed that the whole group is actualized in each of its members; each man is a corporate personality. In this sense, each man is Adam, for each man's sin affects all creation in much the same fashion as the sin of Adam did. Likewise, man's responses to God in Christ have this same ontological effect, for what is true of Adam and his descendants in relation to sin is true also of Christ and his progeny in relation to grace, for Christ is the embodiment of all the redeemed, Father explained. We are already saved in principle by Christ before baptism. The transmission of effects from the in dividual to the multitude, Father concluded, is as present in the ac tions of Christ as in the actions of Adam. In the dialogue following the lec ture Father commented on the place of Eve in the corporate scheme, and speculated on the idea of preternatural gifts as future (not past) realities, and the possi bility that original sin and original justice occurred simultaneously. at the luncheon. Among the guests will be Chicago Alder man Thomas E. Keane, who is heading the special gifts phase of the general cam paign, Frank Uriell, newly named chairman of the College's Estate Planning Council, the Mundelein President's Council, as well as fund drive volunteers. The move into business firms and corporations marks a new phase of the drive. Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, will address the businessmen on the needs of the College and the service of the in stitution to the community. Contact Alumnae The December-April span must be an intensive period in the de velopment drive. To date 238,000 of the needed one million dollars has been received. Of the cam paign's total proceeds, more than 140,000 has come from the con tributions of alumnae. Small group meetings at the College as well as regional meet ings of alumnae have been held to acquaint them with the overall program and progress of the Col lege. Out-of-town contact with alumnae also is being maintained through letters and occasional area meetings. Plan for Research Projected plans for the Learning Resource Center mark a recogni tion of the new role of the library in the life of the undergraduate student who is expected to spend many hours in library research. Three to 400 study carrells as well as audio-visual carrells wired for modern adaptation are two of the Center's features. Students at Mundelein can help by building Mundelein's reputation among prospective college students, noted Daniel Cahill, vice-president for development and public rela tions, because student enrollment is a good base on which to plan for the future. Basic general support of the de velopment drive is as essential to the building fund as are the larger gifts from corporate and individual persons. Light Holiday Candle Add Hanukkah Custom to Program An innovation in the annual Can dlelighting ceremony will take place today when the traditional program will be combined with a commemoration of Hanukkah, the Jewish Feast of Lights, at 2 p.m. in the College Theater. Under the direction of Sister Mary Emily, B.V.M., superior, who initiated the idea, Candlelight- ing's traditional form will be com plemented with an explanation of Hanukkah and the menorah by Mrs. Robert Matasar, political sci ence instructor. Joining Mrs. Matasar in the chanting of Hanuk kah hymns will be Mrs. Harold Coleman of the admissions office, and two continuing education stu dents, Mrs. Maurice Lesak and Mrs. Daniel Welsh, Rededicate Temple Hanukkah celebrates the Macca- bee revolt against King Antiochus IV of Syria 170 years before Christ. Led by Judas Maccabee, Israelites recaptured the Jerusalem Temple from the pagan subjection. A popular legend says that when the Hebrew people were rededicating their desecrated temple, they could find only enough oil to light the lamp before the Holy of Holies for one day. The oil, however, lasted for eight days. Because of this Hebrew legend, Hanukkah is re ferred to as the Feast of Lights. The Hanukkah menorah, or cande labrum, has eight candles surround ing a center one. Sing Hymns In addition to the Hanukkah narrative and hymns, the tall Christmas candle on the theater stage will be lit by MSC president, Judy Ewing, who will then pass the light to the class presidents and MSC representatives. The entire Mundelein community will be repre sented as club presidents, faculty and alumnae representatives also light candles. Each class will assemble before the program and enter the College Theater for the ceremony singing a hymn. The freshman hymn is O Holy Night, the sophomores' is I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Juniors will sing The Christmas Rose, and seniors, What Child Is This? Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., college president, will deliver her Christmas address to the students, and the holiday will formally come to Mundelein when Judy Ewing and The Incarnation Preparation: Each year we had the feast of lights to keep our Exodus. The living* water flowed and cleansed that He might tent with ua. We shared the sacrificial meal, our Covenant renewed It was a lengthy wait we had yeara spent in servitude. Presence: But He is come. The world is changed. He la the Temple's light. In Him the Spirit's waters flow to men. and men unite. We share the sacrificial meal, proclaim our exodus. The time was long; we walk as sons. He pitched Hia tent with us. S. M. V. A. Skyscraper Photo by Diane Sargol senior class president, Liz Gordon hang wreaths on the doors of the skyscraper's main entrance. The significance of the relation ship between Hanukkah and Christ mas lies in the fact that without the victory of the Maccabees, the Nativity would not have been pos sible. The Israelites prophetically preserved their faith for the Mes siah of Christmas.
