Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER March 2,1960 Inquiring Campus Girl Students Scrutinize CL Series by Patricia Riggs (The staff will give hearty congratulations to any reader who wishes to submit a question used by the Skyscraper. This week's question was submitted by Sister M. Donatus, B.V.M.) THE QUESTION: Which one of the concert-lecture series did you like best and why? WHERE ASKED: The Phoenix Room. THE ANSWERS: MARILYN KARSH, Senior: Because I'm an English major interested in writing, Mr. Charles Flood's contribution to the series was of value to me. After asserting that Willa Cather, Hem ingway, and Fitzgerald are the 'top three' of to day, Mr. Flood touched upon a subject which was of especial interest to me, since I had recently contributed to an essay upon the beatnik authors for the Review. Describing the beatnik move ment as 'existentialism conceived of despair,' Mr. Flood condemned the Beats for their un willingness to exercise artistic severity. I agree with Mr. Flood, who believes that the beat writ ers are attempting to preserve the individual in a mechanized society, but I would add that al though they may be preserving the individual, they are destroying art in the process. LEO FLANAGAN, Public Relations Director: I'd have to select two concert-lecture programs as favorites the recital by Sisters Mary Chris tiane, Mary Lamberta and Mary Raphaeldis and Coming on Campus by Marie Goodin WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2 Ash Wednesday; 4:10 p.m. Sodality meeting.

McKenzie, S.J., The Old Testament, Room 405. THURSDAY, MARCH 17 All-School Talent Show, 1:10 p.m., Room 308. the performance by Sidney Harth and Rudolph Reuter. Why? Because I could open my office door and be completely entertained by the strains of the music drifting down the hallway, yet never leave my desk. MARY ANN STROBEL, Sophomore: I took Introduction to Music and learned about the vari ous movements, so I enjoyed the piano-violin con certo by Sidney Harth and Rudolph Reuter. It gave me added opportunity to really hear these movements. I also enjoyed the ballet, because when you have something like that you forget about going to class or wanting to study during an assembly. JACKIE CRAMER, Freshman: I enjoyed the faculty concert. I think it's a good idea for the students to realize how talented the faculty members are in their various fields. BETTY HACKETT, Senior: I found the lec ture on foreign affairs by Carter Davidson the most enlightening as I don't know very much about foreign relations. MARILYN VETTER, Senior: I liked the bal let because we hear lectures in all our classes and I think we need a change. You can have culture without having a lecture. Also, a ballet as a rule, is pretty expensive and I really couldn't afford to see it. GLORIA CALLACI, Junior: I think there's a good variety, but I'd like more lectures. I think they should experiment with the idea of not having it required, because students doing homework don't add to the general atmosphere of appreciation. CLAUDETTE CONRAD, Senior: 1 liked the ballet, mainly because it featured 'Copelia.' I think it takes a musically educated person to really enjoy a strict concert, but 'Copelia' pre sented a story to draw on and be enjoyed by all without any musical background.

Lent Provides Training Period by Mary Ann Makowski Spring is a wonderful time for Lent In His Divine Providence God has or dained that all of His precepts and com mandments when properly carried out bring men to peace and happiness both in this life and into eternity. No student will deny, however, that there is nothing too uplifting in the thought of six weeks of sacrifice, even fasting for those over 21, added to an already seemingly care-burdened life of homework, early classes, student teach ing, etc. when it is made even more so by the absence of those little, necessary com forts so dear to everyone. Presenting a more positive view of Lent in a recent issue of the Catholic Book Merchandiser, Mr. Frank Sheed described Lent as a six weeks annual training period. As he states, this train ing means, first, developing fitness of body and soul . . . training the appetites away from base food into a taste for the true food that nourishes. It means, sec ond, learning what the war is about . . . in our world, the war that matters most is the war against starvation We are surrounded by millions starved of food that Christ Our Lord wants them to have, food of doctrine, food of Sacrament. And third, it means learning how to handle the weapons knowledge of the Church's teaching and the power to utter it to our starved friends. Lent presents a perfect opportunity to become more truly Christian soldiers of Christ. Through daily Mass and Com munion, as well as frequent visits to the chapel, we can grow in necessary spir itual strength. Fasting and sacrifice likewise provide an excellent means by which to become spiritually trim. Catho lic literature, as well as a more intense application to studies, cannot help but en rich our minds and aid intellectual growth. Spring is a time of rebirth and reor ganization. At the start of a new natural cycle, we see the signs of new and more vigorous life all around us. Lent is God's scheduled reminder that our own spir itual housecleaning is due. Dizzy Reality SAB Produces Record Social Year Almost all college students-to-be have dreamed of a gay social whirl which can be theirs for the price of a semester's tuition; the dream is enhanced in most college catalogs by pictures of handsome boys and glamorous girls strolling arm- in-arm across a well-landscaped campus. Reality, in the form of an asphalt park ing lot paved with rutted ice four months J lie huscraper Vol. XXX March 2, 1960 No. 8 The Skyscraper Is published semi-monthly. October to May inclusive, except during vacations and semester examina tions by the studenU of Mundelein College. 6863 Sheridan Road, Chicago 40. Illinois. Subscription rates are 11.76 per year. Entered as second class matter, November 80, 1982, at the U.S. Post Office, Chicago Illinois, under the act of March 3, 1897. The Skyscraper is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press and the Catholic School Press Association. STAFF MEMBERS Editor-in-Chief Mary Lou Brady Associate Editor Kathleen McGuire News Editors Mary Lou Brady, Patricia Riggs Editorial Editors Mary Ann Makowski, Anne Miller Feature Editors Kathleen McGuire, Joanne Twomey Sports Editors Dorothy Nelson, Patricia Novak Columnists Alice Connelly, Marie Goodin, Kathleen Gottschalk Staff Artist Patricia Wendt Staff Photographer Marion Bakula Staff Assistants Barbara Brzezinski, Jo Ann Drossart, Patricia Malinski, Mary Jo Murray, Charlaine Novotny, Sheila Smith, Judy Wilder, Joan Sheridan, Mary Pat Bowler, Mary Lou Geist, Margaret Geraghty, Mary Ann Guagenti, Velva Johnson, Marilyn Kluk, Joan Vantucci and Phyllis Wright of the year, can be discouraging, espe cially when one must trade glamor for oversize boots and heavy woolen scarves and struggle, rather than stroll, across it. Mundelein's Social Arrangements Board, under the direction of Sharon Ruppert, has provided solace to over come this discouragement. In little more than one semester, the activities offered for our enjoyment have included two overnight trips to St. Joseph's College, one overnight trip to Notre Dame, one freshman and one junior-senior trip to Notre Dame for a day, an IIT mixer, four tea dances, a fall mixer, a freshman mixer, a Cotillion and a Ball. This would hardly seem to indicate a social waste land. These events were the result of much planning and hard work. However, their success or failure in terms of the indi vidual can only be determined by how much the individual put into them. So cial whirls are made by the interest and participation of the individuals. SAC Sponsors Sputter Campus problems are always with us. We would like to call your attention to two efforts that are being made to tackle them in the near future. This Thursday, the faculty and SAC will con duct a sputter session from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Phoenix room. All students are invited to participate. The pros and cons of the Benefit will be the topic of discussion at the SAC-faculty meeting on March 14, in an attempt to determine the cause of the lack of enthusiasm for this year's benefit and to plan ahead for a much more suc cessful one next year.
