Host and moderator is Jack H. Grossman, Chicago regional direc tor of B'nai B'rith Vocational Serv ice and producer is Michael Car bine, press relations director of Mundelein College. Originally, Mr. Grossman con sidered using the newspaper me dium to discuss these problems. But when he and Mr. Carbine spoke to Stan Dale of WLS radio about the possibility of a program of this type, the show became a reality. Each show is conducted in the form of a panel discussion. On the Nov. 21 program, entitled You and the Job Interview, panel members were Dan Barber, recruiting and placement administrator, American Hospital Supply Corporation; Jack Craten, division personnel man ager, Jewel Tea Company, Inc. and Glen J. Uhles, supervisor of em ployment, Illinois Bell Telephone Company. The first program went on the air Sept. 5 and topics for discus sion since then have included the role of parents in education, the importance of college entrance ex ams and the alternatives to college education. The program has re ceived favorable audience response. Si udcrapinad Ah, there is nothing like the be ginning of a new month to look around and take stock of what's what among the coffee-sipping, stair-climbing, note-reading sup porters of this institution. This, however, necessitates that some thing actually is happening. Well, let's see now, after a nod under 2,000 years the Church Fa thers finally granted that women are equal to men or at least that they shouldn't be discrimi nated against because of sex, which is pretty close to the same thing. Certainly Eve would have a few words to say on that point. What about the daughters of Eve? It sees to be movie time as every one is setting out for the popcorn aisles of their local theater. Whether or not this is a frustrated attempt to escape reality is debata ble, but the throngs are abandon ing books for The Collector (biolo gists only), 77(c Great Race (what's new in physical educa tion?) and even Ecco which re portedly defies comment. This brings up our own College Volunteer Discusses Extension Work; Recruits Women for Years Service The Extension Volunteer Pro gram which emphasizes ecumenical work will be recruiter James Osta's topic, Dec. 7, 1 p.m. at Mundelein. Encompassing such activities as parish work, teaching, nursing, Newman Club development and community organization, the Ex tension Program offers college graduates an opportunity to inte grate the knowledge obtained in undergraduate study. Volunteers are taken out of their present en vironment for their minimum of one-year service. Since each lo cale has particular problems, vol unteers are afforded much freedom in original project implementation. Their creativity in problem solv ing is encouraged. The volunteer is given 50 a month plus room and board. The THE SKYSCRAPER Mundelein College 6363 Sheridan Rd., Chicago, 111., 60626 major aim is to prepare the com munity people to take over the responsibilities themselves. Mundelein graduates have par ticipated in the program. In 1962, Mrs. Joseph Vogl, assistant to the dean of students, served in Su- biaco, Ark. in the capacity of par ish worker. Her work entailed meeting with ministers of different faiths, organizing inter-faith Bible discussions, collecting for the March of Dimes and teaching catechism in the 5-8 grades. Mrs. Vogl stressed that the goal of the volunteer is not conversion, but rather ecumenism. Kathleen Walsh, a '62 graduate, also did parish work in Buffalo, Wyo. Barbara Kroth and Barbara Kolnick from the class of '63 worked as teachers in Kilne, Miss. Also a '63 graduate, Margaret Ostrander taught in Canute, Okla. Presently teaching in Oklahoma City is Nancy Buckman, a 1965 graduate. Theater or auditorium or what ever it's being called this year. How utterly reassuring to note the shafts of light winking through the cracks in the east wall. A different exposure may be obtained by looking up from on stage. If St. Genesius ever forgets his um brella there may be some inter esting scenery effects. The Deluge anyone? A new means of inter-collegiate communication is also developing among residents via Linen of the Week. All kinds of cryptic little notes lovingly inscribed in indelible ink on sheets and pillow cases make Friday (linen day) so much more exciting. If anyone ever needs a companion to travel the L late at night, take freshman Claudia McClellan. This trusting soul had the fore sight to take six months of karate lessons in her home, Pittsburgh, before venturing to Chicago. At last It's been discovered The real, the only reason no alco holic beverages are sold on this campus is a provision in the origi nal deeds which specifies that no liquor may be sold on the property. As the staff of the Loyola jour nalistic endeavor learned to their rue after they ran a brief anecdote concerning the late Frank J. Lewis, philanthropist, the National Catho lic Reporter will get you if you don't watch out. Those who live by the pen shall die by the pen. Perhaps there is some deep sym bolism in the fact that both the cover of the new catalogue and the new directory are black. Perhaps. An interesting and reoccurring idea which is arising runs like this: Wouldn't it be great if we could go to classes and not have to study for them? Quite obvi- /LT ously, it would be more than great. Why even Mary Poppins couldn't describe it adequately. Consider Mundelein as a resort with unique divertissements. For the intrinsic intellectual (singular naturally) there would be classes and discussion seminars where items of current interest hold the emphasis. Naturally the library steps wouldn't creak as much since not so many people would be forced to walk on them. Guests (much nicer term than students) would be free to explore the as sets of Chicago and the area, in cluding the beach in spring. Of course, a winter resort in a climate like Chicago's is a bit absurd so it would prove ad vantageous to move Mundelein to a more con ducive area Hawaii or southern Cali fornia come im mediately to mind. There again, gray sandstone skyscrapers are just too architecturally gauche so something in adobe modern might be in order. Pursuing the new studies of surf ing, all the guests could easily become expert, semi-educated beach bums for a substantially lower in vestment. The demands on follow ers of this cult are also considera bly less strenuous. As promised: Happiness is . . . peanut butter and jelly sandwiches . . . browsing in the book store . . . sleeping for ever ... a cancelled class. Ginger Ale
