Sea- B.S.; Sister Andrea Konen, M.S., borg, Chairman of the Atomic B.A.; Sister Francis Marie, O.S.B., Scholarship policy changes de signed to encourage talented stu dents to choose more challenging courses and to participate more ac tively in student affairs will go into effect in September on a one- year experimental basis according to Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean and chairman of the scholarship committee. These changes are: reduction of the grade point average necessary for scholarship renewal from 2.5 to 2.0 and reduction of the grade point average necessary for application for upperclass scholarships from 2.5 Review Selects Former Writers As Staff Heads The Review, Mundelein's bian nual creative writing publication, has just announced the selection of its new staff for the 1963-64 school year. The position of editor in chief has been replaced by a co-editorship to be held by Gertrude Schoepko and Irene Skala. Helen Skala has been named associate editor and Gertrude Schoepko will also pre side as chairman of the Stylus Club. Each of the girls has held posi tions on the staff during this year. Gertrude and Irene were associate editors for 1962-63 and Helen was assistant editor. Besides being active on the Re view, Helen is also sergeant at arms of the junior class for next year. Irene won an honorable men tion in the essay contest and a first place in the editorial and con temporary criticism divisions in the Josephine Lusk contest. Gertrude was awarded honorable mention in the essay division. to 2.2. Mundelein's new scholar ship policy will be governed by the ruling of 1961 by which scholarship assistance is given on the basis of financial need, ordinarily deter mined by the completion of a Par ents' Confidential Statement. In addition to the concern for course selection and participation in activities, the move was influ enced by the fact that the Illinois State Scholarship Commission and the National Merit Corporation re quire only good academic standing for renewal, and by concern over the tension caused by rising tuition. Sister Mary Ignatia commented Distributing financial assistance on the basis of demonstrated need has already enabled the College to help twice as many scholarship stu dents as in the past years. Now it should be possible for those same students, and perhaps others as well, to benefit more from their education by studying for the sake of learning rather than for the sake of grades. Sister added that the reduction of the grade point average neces sary for scholarship renewal in no way changes the. 2.5 requirement for making the Bean's List. The scholarship committee pointed out that elected or ap pointed officers or those who hold responsible positions, and need fi- mancial assistance, may apply to either dean for a grant-in-aid.
