Gift of '300.000 Galvin foundation funds Center Mrs. Paul V. Galvin, executor of the Paul V. Galvin Chari table Trust, announced a 300,000 grant to the Learning Resource Center February 21. According to Sister Ann Ida Gannon, the donation will provide for the 300 seat-auditorium which will be named the Paul V. Galvin Memorial Hall in honor of the donor. The lecture hall is equipped with a projection booth, a twin audio-visual projector, motor-driven viewing screen and sliding chalkboards. It will be used for films, concerts, public lectures, large classes and conferences. The donation will also be used for the science preparation and seminar rooms adjacent to the auditorium. Mr. Galvin, founder of the Motorola Corporation in the 1930's established the trust in his will in 1959. Mundelein's Learning Resource Center, which is now Hearing comple tion, will open in mid-March and will be dedicated next Oc tober. Prepare for Future Sister Ann Ida says the Center has been created with flexibility in mind; if rooms need more space the walls can be easily rearranged be cause of the structure of the building. In this way if books are eventually turned into mi- Mrs. Paul V. Galvin crofilm, accommodations for more laboratories are simple. Seminar rooms have been designed for group study; there are also facilities for art displays and a rare book room. Study in Comfort The Center is completely air-conditioned and is heated by the lighting system. And for a fresh-air break there is an outdoor lakeside reading area, equipped with comforta ble chairs and a complete panorama of the Chicago sky line. The interior is designed not only for study, but relaxation. There are several lounges on each floor for study breaks, with vending machines on the lower level. The faculty offices are also located in the lower level. The center is also equipped with study carrels. On the sec ond floor the carrels are wired with audio-visual equipment. Another learning resource available will be film-making equipment. As yet, only those who have taken a film-making course here are authorized to take out the equipment. The concept of a Learning Resource Center stemmed from the self-study program in 1962-64 under the direction of former vice-president Dr. Norbert Hruby. Edmund S. Pryzbylski, is director of the Center. skyscraper Vol. XXXIX Mundelein College, Chicago, HI., 60626, February 28, 1969 111 No. 12 Laetare watchers and doers present Barefoot in the Park Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park will be presented tonight, Feb. 28, and tomor row, March 1 in the College Theater by the Laetare Play ers.

Analyze program Drug series ends ALANA THEUSCH, as Corrie, offers aspirin to Jim Trudeau, the neighbor upstairs, as he toJks to Corrie's mother, played bv Maggie Smith. ,. . * Sk lt;tcroP*r photo bv Marianne Fusillo Student opinion on drug use will conclude a forum for the exchange of ideas on the com plex subject of drugs, spon sored by the Mundelein Col lege Counseling Service. Carol Schultz, junior chemistry ma jor, will moderate the discus sion March 5, 7:30 p.m. at McCormick Lounge. The panel will consist of one or two stu dents from Mundelein; Loy ola; Circle Campus; and hopefully from the University of Chicago. These students will represent diverse opinions regarding drug use. Drag use in society is wide, but at this point we're concerned with the college campus. Because we're a col lege, the main interest is how drugs affect students, says Mrs. Sylvia Warshaw, director of the Counseling Service. After the whole series is over, we hope to tabulate the results (of surveys distributed during several sessions) and draw some conclusions on how valuable the program was. The evaluation will help to see how the people felt and how their feelings have changed through lectures. The series so far has of fered five seminars, ranging from a talk on alcoholism to a discussion on religious expe rience and drug use. Attend ance has ranged from 35 to more than 100 participants. The first session, on drug ef fects, was the most popular.
