THE FILM SOCIETY, organ- Dr. Hruby Reveals Poll Data On Paradoxical 'New Breed' by Anndrea Zahorak Since the inception five years ago of the Institutional Analysis, Mundelein students now, as a mat ter of course, grant to the college the right to categorize statistically and analyze their social, political, intellectual, religious and economic attitudes. The current freshman class pro vides the freshest set of statistics for comparison with other classes and for use in the College's con tinuing self-study. The 243 members of the fresh men class, who filled out the ques tionnaire before beginning classes at Mundelein, with a sample of 109 members of the current sophomore class, who answered the question naire toward the end of the third term of their freshman year, have the unique distinction of being known as Mundelein's new breed since the results of the Institu tional Analysis have been published by Dr. Norbert J. Hruby, vice- president. Analyzing 269 members of the class of 1966 who answered the original questionnaire as freshmen and 96 members of this group who were retested as seniors, Dr. Hruby feels that there is a definite basis for singling out the classes of 1969 and 1970 as different from their immediate predecessors. Lest the term new breed be misleading, however, Dr. Hruby in his report moderates his termi nology to define the classes of 19C9 and 1970 as a new breed ... in a moderate, middle - of - the - road way. They seek change and are a bit more feministic than those of their predecessors but they are not revolutionaries. Their main goal at Mundelein is obtaining an education which is serious and relevant. What then classifies these two classes as so markedly different from the 1966 seniors? According to the statistics some of the most concrete differences stem from the families of the girls themselves. While the balance of over 90 per cent catholicity and at least 85 per cent Irish, German or Pol ish descendency have remained con stant with preceding classes, the parental, educational and economic levels have risen significantly. Along with this information is the possibility, drawn by inference from the statistics on the number of people living at home, that the families of the freshmen and sopho mores tend to be younger and probably more attuned to post-war idealism than those of the 1966 seniors. Only one father in three and one mother in four had any edu cation at the college level when the class of 1966 was studied as freshmen in 1963. In the class of 1969 and 1970 49 per cent and 53 per cent of the fathers and 31 per cent and 39 per cent of the mothers have had at least some college education. As is appropriate, where educa tional levels rise, economic levels follow suit, so that the median an nual family income of 9,470 for the class of 1966 has risen to 9,750 for the class of 1969 and 10,200 for the class of 1970. These statistics place the fami lies of Mundelein's sophomores and freshmen somewhat above the na tional educational and economic norm established in the massive study just completed by the Ameri can Council on Education. College recruitment policies have also influenced the statistics of the freshman and sophomore classes. With the push away from the Chi cago area commuter-type school to ward the more widespread resi dential school, 22 per cent of the sophomores and 31 per cent of the freshmen come from outside the metropolitan area as compared to seven per cent of the 1966 seniors. For the first time in Mundelein's history more than half of the sophomores (62 per cent) and freshmen (71 per cent) live in the college dormitories. Recruitment also seems to have raised the high school grade point standard so that in today's sopho more class the median high school grade point average was 2.07 and A CAREER AS A CHICAGO TEACHER Execllent salary 6,000 up Liberal Pension Plan Paid Sick Leave Tenure after three years Promotion with system Professional growth Opportunities for additional income For information on certification and employment procedures, write to: Director, Teacher Recruitment Chicago Public Schools 228 N. LaSalle St. Rm. 1005 Chicago, 111. 60601 2.08 for the freshmen against 2.00 for the entire class of 1966. It is interesting however, Dr. Hruby pointed out, that grades were not listed as the over-all motivation to study among any of the classes. Only 27 per cent of the 1966 sen iors, 33 per cent of the sophomores and 23 per cent of the freshmen mentioned grades as having any bearing on their study habits at all. Seventy-five per cent of the 1966 seniors and 53 per cent and 58 per cent of the sophomores and freshmen listed interest in the sub ject as their prime motivation to study. ized this month, is still undergoing formation, disclosed Sister Irene Branchaud, chairman of the French department. Sister Irene, coordinator of the Foreign Film Program and promoter of the Film Society, says that the purpose of the Society is to explore the in dustry and art of films and . . . point out all that goes in a film. Sponsored by the foreign lan guage department, the Foreign Film Program is designed to help students associate actions with sounds in dealing with foreign lan guages. In addition to this vo cabulary build-up, students also learn cultural differences. Sister Irene holds that foreign films are dense with thought, artistic im agination, illusion and metaphor. The Film Society has hopes of exploring deeper into the media of films. Because it is independent of an academic department it will not be limited to a particular type of film. Good American films and also amateur works will be stud ied. The realm of photography, both professional and amateur, will be discussed and the society may provide lectures and demonstra tions in promoting understanding of the media. SISTER IRENE made it clear that the Film Society would be open not merely to Mundelein stu dents but to students from high schools and other colleges and uni versities, faculty members, alum nae and the general public. Men and women in professions involv ing films are also encouraged to join. A formation meeting will be held April 19 at 4 p.m. in Room 308.
