Page Two SKYSCRAPER SUMER IS ACUMEN IN Come June: An Unending Summer Ahead If you, the Juniors, Sophomore-,, and Freshmen, will turn the next page you will see 134 very proud p?ople. We know, because those dignified-looking faces belong to us. And why are we proud? Because, to a great extent, of you. We feel your eyes on us and are fearfal of making mistakes. We listen to your questions and search our limited experience for the answers. You see, we are real ly quite new at this college graduate business and find our roles as advisers rather difficult. We're going out soon to tell the world about you and Mundelein and about the Sisters, priests, and lay teachers who have helped us realize that there is a Cod and that He loves us He must, to have given us your friendship and a share in the vast wealth that is knowledge. May our example be worthy of you. We will have degrees . . . and smiles in answer to congratulations; sincere gratitude . . . and perhaps a tear in saying good-bye to most of you. Most important of all, we are leaving Mundelein with a sacred trust that of proving to the skeptics (and we hear there are many) that there is a special value in a Ca.holic college education. We need your prayers to help fulfill that trust. The weight of a tasseled gradua tion cap is not all in the material Come July: Politicos Strive For Policy; Voters Scoff at Insurance It is easy to become cynical about poli tics. During the muck-slinging and sub tle propaganda of t he presidential cam paigns, the cynic easily becomes an arm chair campaign manager. He follows the race for state delegate votes and concludes that the outcome of the presidential contest is predetermined. He precludes that his vote is worthless. The year preceding the National con ventions is the delight of the skeptic. Dur ing the conventions, however, he enjoys a field day. lie hears of the smoke-filled caucus rooms outside the city; he listens with suspicion as a delegation shifts its support to another candidate; he is cer tain that the potential president rides to Washington on the support of fraudulent deals, stolen money, and dishonest cam paign tactics. The pessimist is positive that none but ambitious politicians will emerge from the shameful procedure of the National Dem ocratic and Republican conventions. National Presidential conventions, far from being- the debacles imagined by the depressed estimate of the cynic, have played both a spectacular and an illustrious role Come the Next 104 Days: in American political life. They have measured the intangible feelings of public opinion, and have tried to conform their candidates to popular opinion. They have played upon public sentiment; more often, they have yielded before it. The National Presidential conventions are one of the bases of United States pol itics. Despite the frequent bargaining and log-rolling, the conventions are a symbol of democracy and can be the birthplaces of statesmen not politicians. The reputa tions of the Conventions are blackened more by skeptical mistrust and slander than by caucus agreements. To know American political theory and practice one must know the maneuvering of the National conventions. We, in Chi cago, can attend both conventions person ally or via television. We have no right to be either cynical or naive. We have the duty to evaluate American politics this summer by following the de tails of the Conventions. We have the ob ligation of basing our November voice in government, the ballot, on the results of our study of politics this summer at the National Presidential conventions.

On The Time Card With thoughts now on a summer packed with such busy events as picnics, vaca tions, jobs, and sunny days of fun, col lege students sometimes forget plans to give to (i lt;xl the few minutes a day we owe to I lint. Christ was the one who created and mapped out all the holidays which lay ahead of us. All lie asks in return is that we give Him honor. Prom the dawn of Christian history men have found that the highest and most sublime way to adore, to thank, to praise, and to beseech (iod's favors is through the Sacrifice of the Mass. Christ instituted the Mass for us, and by spending a few minutes with Him each morning during our busy summer vaca tions, we could dedicate ourselves to Him completely, and find a recipe for a truly happy vacation. Once the habit is ac quired daily Mass is easy. No matter how you spend tlie other 2.i hours in each day . . . Could you not spend one hour with me?
