mum jn campu. Leftist speaks by: Janet Sass Arriving two and a half hours late due to his plane's delay out of New York City, Al Lowenstein, vice-chairman of Americans for Demo cratic Action, spoke to a full audience in McCormick Lounge, Sept. 28, asking students to endorse a presidential candidate in 1968 other than Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and especially other than Lyndon John son. ONLY TWELVE MONTHS and a few million dol lars more are needed to complete Mundelein's Learning Resource Center. Recent monetary aid for the construction has come from a 25,000 Kresge Foundation grant, and 1,000 grant from the Equitable Life Insurance Company. The Equitable grant came as a surprise to presi- Skyscraper Photo by Marianne Fusillo dent Sister Ann Ida Gannon, since the company awards money to few Catholic institutions. A letter from James F. Oates, chairman of the board of Equitable Life, indicated that the soc iety has long recognized the excellent academic standing of Mundelein College. Homecoming weekend tops MSC fall calendar by: Mary Beth Mundt A student government must be flexible and must lend itself to the tone and mood of the campus whatever that mood may be. So stated Marge Sklencar, president of student government the Mundelein Student Congress (MSC). The Congress has developed a calendar for the coming year that will prove to be both intellectually and socially stimulating. Judging from the many events planned for the first term, the campus will set its own vi brant mood. The Homecoming Weekend planned for the last weekend of October and the Na tional Student Association re gional meeting scheduled for No vember will provide for Munde lein students the opportunity to meet other collegians from the Chicago and Midwestern colleges. In addition, the MSC will support the anti-Vietnam march on the Pentagon In Washington D.C, which is planned for October. Following is the fall term sched ule of the Student Congress: Oct.9-- The first session of Heresay the series of informal discus sion that will be held at the coffeehouse throughout the year. Oct. 16- The anti-Vietnam march on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Felix M. Valvuena, a graduate student at the University of Chicago, will speak on cam pus. Mr. Valvuena supports all revolutionary movements in Latin America. Oct. 20- 22- Homecoming Weekend: Friday- mixer and bonfire. Saturday- parade, pep rally and the Mun- delein-Barat College football game, a dress-up mixer at the Little Corporal and a contemporary movie will be shown at Mundelein for those not going to the dance. Sun day presentation of ' 'Stop the World-I Want to Get Off . Nov.6-- The second lleresay featuring Thaddeus Kastrobala, an emi nent Chicago psychiatrist. Nov. 10-12- The Congress will be host for the National Student Associa tion fall regional meeting. Se minar topics will range from drug use to black power to stu dent rights. Nov. 17- The Cotillion Dec. 5- Candlelighting Lowenstein did not speak as a representative of ADA, which is not taking a stand on this issue. Vietnam and the racial prob lem are the two cancers which are corroding American socie ty, Lowenstein asserted. The man largely responsible for this situation is President Johnson, he added. These problems are becoming so complex that the country soon will be able to do nothing about them unless there is a reversal of direction. If it eases your (students') conscience to stand in picket lines or burn draft cards or lie in front of an approaching troop train, do it, remarked Lowen stein. However, he added, the most effective way to change the government's policies is through the electoral process. Answering a student question on who he would like to see elected, Lowenstein did not rec ommend any particular candidate but suggested Senators MaCar- thy, McGovern, Kennedy and Percy as possibilities. The difference between Presidents Kennedy and Johnson is one of principle not of de gree, Lowenstein asserted. Un der President Kennedy, the U.S. had 12,000 troops in Vietnam as advisors who only fired in self- defense. Of course, I can't speak for President Kennedy, he added, but I don't think he would have increased our commitments to 500,000 troops engaging in active combat. The government is constantly lying about what they do and how they do it, Lowenstein remarked, the government doesn' t want self- determination or even a negotia ted settlement in Vietnam, but a military victory. However, there is no way to win militarily, he stressed. Con tinued escalation increases the possibility of Soviet and Chinese intervention, leading to a nuclear war. In a nuclear war, he added, the winner will inherit nothing. Refuting a students comment that the United States has com mitments in Vietnam and must keep them, Lowenstein replied that the only commitment made by President Johnson says the United States will aid the Viet namese providing extensive agri cultural and economic reform ts undertaken by their government. This reform has never been made, he added. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara justified bombing North Vietnam because 400 Viet Cong had crossed the border, Lowenstein remarked. According to International Law, he added, a retaliation of one government against another has to be equal in kind to the original attack. The bombing of Vietnam by the Americans certainly isn't. Even the best people in America say they don't believe what the government says any more. There is a growing feel ing among Americans that they, and especially their children won't be able to live out their lives in happiness. he added. Concerning the racial prob lem in the United States, Lowen stein asserted that the melting pot only works when melting whites. The poorest segments of the population can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps because they don't have any boot straps left. They can't assimil ate into society as easily as the Irish did, becuase there color always acts as a block, Lowen stein explained. They can't get jobs without an education and there is no frontier they can emigrate to as the European immigrants did in the 1800's, he added. They see the products of an affluent society and are left only one way to at tain them. When they try to, Americans call them pigs. College adds new faculty; bring varied experiences Norman Senski, philosophy de partment. Student members are Judy Becker, Anne Boylan, Mary Jane Delisi, Kathy Jurasko, Margaret Race, Marge Sklencar and Jane Wllzack. Panel defines Heresays; it's wfiaf's worth saying by: Janet Sass Heresay, a program of informal discussion among an outside speaker, a faculty member and students will begin its tentative pro gram with Jeff Donaldson, who is a former professor of art at Chicago Teacher's College North and who is now on sabattical leave at North western University. He will discuss the negro- ness or black power in art with students and Sister Blanche Marie, chairman of Mundelein's art department. Heresay will be presented in the new coffee house, 1032 Sheri dan Road, October 9, at 7:30 p.m. The program, open free to the public, was designed to create intellectual and cultural fer ment on campus, according to Dr. Norbert Hruby, chairman of the new honors extracurricu- lum committee which sponsors Heresay. Heresay could be the most exciting thing happening on campus, he added. Heresay will present Dr. Thaddeus Kastrobala, a psychia trist and authority on mental health, in November. He will dis cuss the hippie sub-culture move ment with Sister Irene Meyer, chairman of the psychology de partment.
