Page Two SKYSCRAPER Interested in Leadership? Here Is a Pattern Like student government, Catholic leadership is a vague term, much discussed and seldom understood. Need it be? We at Mundelein are potential Catholic leaders. As college stud ents, we are privileged to develop intellectually and socially to a degree far beyond the average. As women, we can reassert the spiritual val ues too often left behind on the road to material prosperity. As Cath olics, we have the faith and the truth that can bring the world to its senses. In short, each of us at Mundelein possesses the basic qualities of a Catholic leader the faith, the truth, and the ability. By putting these qualities to use we can become Catholic leaders in a real sense. We will, if we wish, be able to acquaint our associates with the principles which we profess. Through our leadership, we can make Christian principles attractive, reasonable. Mrs. Henry Mannix ,who will receive the Magnificat Medal this week, illustrates what a college education can mean to a Catholic wom an. An alumnae of Manhattanville college, Mrs. Mannix has contributed to society as wife and mother, and as a civic leader. Today she is the leader of six million Catholic women, in all parts of the United States. Because she has learned to use her time wisely, to put first things first, she is able to preside with dignity and graciousness in her own home first, and then in the wider areas of service. Each one of us, after graduation, will have similar occasion to be of service to others. We cannot say, I DO NOT CHOOSE TO WORK FOR CHRIST'S CAUSE. I CHOOSE TO LIVE ONLY FOR MYSELF. We have been elected to serve in some way, great or small. And if we DO serve, generously, intelligently, keeping first things first, we will grow into the type of catholic leaders the world needs.

Here's How To Make Your Quota In case the Dean asks, I was not coerced or intimidated by any member of the Fac ulty or student body into writing this edi torial. Not even by the chairmen of the Ad Committee. To the members of the Ad Committee a word of advice. If at first you don't succeed, he may reconsider. I know, for once 1 was on the Ad Committee. Not content with securing just local pop- torn stand ads. 1 solicited an advertise ment from one of the city's larger corpor ations. Fortified with a course in adver tising and data on size, price and italics. 1 ventured into mahogonied offices. A smiling receptionist sent me down a corridor with third-door-on-the-left direc tions to the Sales Department. 1 entered to find the department composed of a single man. He seemed surprised to see me. lint be fore he could say no 1 launched my sales technique, exhibiting sample layouts and sparkling copy. He listened patiently, said he would con sider the matter, then ushered me to anoth er door which read Mr. Smith, President. My ad-selling ambitions skidded to a stop.

Commu nism infects all classes l'lic end of the world is near. W'e hear these statements every day. Self-appointed prophets make headlines shriek with reminders of economic evils social disintegration- exploitation of the immorality of civic leaders. The seeds of unrest have been sown in the minds of honest people. Put most modern seers offer no solution no consolation no sense of purpose in this confused time. The Church does lt; lod does. Suppose we ARE heading for another war the end of the world threats from the enemy. So what? He knows what's going on. God sees the struggle between vice and virtue the dark shadows of Finland and Czecho slovakia that turn men's hearts to de spair Rut all that is of little consequence in eternity. (iod sends His Son and enemies (lesfll the Son's Body, lint it doesn't end tht He rises again each year in the liuirg; each morning at Mass. The only RKAO curity in the world Pessimism can hold no solution fotj We are privileged to look ahead toj risen Christ to the empty tomb on 1-ijJ morning to our own resurrection, have the answer to suffering and ini ing catastrophe the peace that is ': ' Will. Suppose the world DOES fall apan in spite of all our efforts, in spite of all sincere efforts which good men will ra to avert catastrophe. If we maintain own right relations with Cod, no disafl can touch us. The world may indeed fall apart, still have Cod Divine Providence I has prepared for daily- -yearly resun tion of the Body of Christ and forT own Easter morning. i Interested in Marvels? Take Nine Lessons W hat is the masterpiece of God's cre ation ? Not the wonder of the universe nor the complexity of the human mind nor the perfection of the smallest creature on earth. It is your soul when, in sanctifying grace, Cod lives within you and brings His all-powerful love to you. This, we know, is a fundamental mystery of our faith. But what do we make of these truths? MARVELS OF GRACE, by the Rev erend Victor Many, S.S., explains Cod's magnificent gift to man in a beautifully clear, profound series of instructions. A little book, it was originally written in French, but attracted widespread atten tion because of its sublime truth. This translation, by the Reverend Albert Talbot S.S., preserves the entire meaning of the original. Father Many explains grace in nine les sons, each suitable for a complete medita tion. He shows familiarity with the finest points of Scriptural and traditional teach ing, and writes as a true theologian. MARVELS OF GRACE is recommend ed as a positive spiritual guide, almost ne cessary to the modern Catholic in a pagan era. It is particularly a fine preparation for Holy Week, when Christ dies but lives in grace in men's souls. What Qoes On . It began very quietly, just a few j reciting the rosary in the chapel at no time. The little Portuguese town of Fati was quiet, too. Yet Our Lady chose appear there carrying the alarm agai the engulfing Communist movement. This cold war is quiet, also; reachinj the spiritual substrata of mankind vh the roots of Catholicism and atliM communism are desperately entangled, lently striving to overwhelm and anc late each other. This element of quietness is a trans one that will erupt into the human mis and suffering that we call modern war I gt;ur petitions to Our Lady of Fatina no longer remain silent, still things, must generate vitality and belief that I through her intercession can Russia converted and the seeming inevitable struction of civilization be averted. I Unless the number of petitioners sod flows our chapel that girls are savin rosary in the hall outside it, unless'oil thusiasm, our realization of the meanin; the promises at Fatima, spreads thru out the Catholic world in time to i it, we will see again the ruthless pills; and havoc that is war. The rosary crusade at Mundelein tj most practical means we have to ( peace. The chance will not come out again if we let it pass now. TornJ never comes. If we allow our selfishness to bliuj to the terrible prophecy at Fatima, w indeed reap the whirlwind that we helped to sow. not only abroad, but at home under the guise of prejudice intolerance. I
