Page Two THE SKYSCRAPER May 16, 1962 Year's End Evokes Views Backward, Forward Projections into Future Visualize Wandering Troubadours, Space Seniors Look Back Final Year Passes in Review Just as it is natural for juniors, sophomores and freshmen to look ahead in their college careers, seniors, happily or regretfully, look back on their last year at Mundelein. Our first senior class meeting fore shadowed a year of comparative peace after three years of unarmed combat. This atmosphere was reflected in our final Class Day, Oct. 17. The sit- down dinner finally passed after hav ing been proposed for three years (after a picnic, Mardi-Gras with box lunches, and even a wiener roast). THE SENIOR FACULTY tea made and renewed many acquaint ances and even proved to a few doubt ers that we could make it after all. Candlelighting brought our moth ers to Mundelein to join us in the spirit of Christmas. We caroled on the main staircase and even managed to insert our class song, Gavdeamus Igitur. Semester exams for once were sec ondary as senior comps loomed men acingly on the February horizon. The first three days of the semester (although no senior will admit there were three days) passed swiftly and the days arrived. But no one was lost We were now really seniors and enjoying it. HAVING DECIDED to let some one else win the class act prize in the Variety Show, we submitted a win ning group act, the now-famous Un dertones and even two-thirds of the Mimes. Inspiration was found in the seri ousness of purpose illustrated in the speech of our Magnificat Medalist. During the tea following many began J'he hu Acraper Vol. XXXII May 16, 1962 No. 12 All-American All-Catholic The Skyscraper is published semi-monthly, October to May inclusive, except during vacations and semes ter examinations by the students of Mundelein College. 6363 Sheridan Rd..

Religious activities such as the May Coronation and the Mass for the seniors were coupled with the social at the Senior-Alumnae party and the Junior-Senior Luncheon to form the traditional May whirl. TOMORROW, SENIORS who have excelled in their scholastic and/ or extracurricular careers will be honored by the administration, fac ulty and student body. Within a few weeks final exams will be over and the day that we have all dreamed about for four years will ar rive Graduation. Yet the day will leave us with a few regrets. We will miss the guidance of the administra tion, the devotion of the faculty and the comraderie of the student body. Virginia Piecuch, Joanne Twomey As the year draws to a close it is appropriate to look toward the future and to project some feasible ideas about the coming years at Mundelein. Wishful Thinking: Students will be complaining about the clean tearoom. Thanks to the Astronauts: Mun- delites wishing to go abroad to study will spend their junior year at the University of Luna. Better Watch Out: Chairman New ton Minnow and the FCC will inves tigate closed-circuit TV at Mundelein, Note to the Sports Dept.: Since many departments in the school have contributed to the recent invasion into world affairs (College Bowl, Who's Who, Air Force Academy Symposium and CBS-Radio) better get busy and bring the Stanley Cup back to Chicago. Audience Participation : The Lae- Skyscraper Soundingboard Dear Editors and Staff, If possible, when the answer to your 'Open Letter is published, we would like the same size print that you utilized, and the privilege of an uncut answer. When specified, in red type, we would like those red letters used in the answer, to be in darkened or bold-faced print. It is desired also that our title receive that same size letter that yours received. An Open Response to the Skyscraper Editorial Staff The adult atmosphere of which the Skyscraper Editorial Staff believes itself the motherly creator was the victim of infanti cide. The immature means employed by the Editorial Staff in its Open Letter to the SAC reverberated and what may have been a good intention was lost amidst the throes of emotionalism and blatant distortion. Last year's decision to release the nu merical results was itself the deviation from the consistent SAC police of many years' standing concerning election procedure. No decision made by one council for one election can be said to have established a pattern of tradition binding all future councils. Since this matter was not proposed at the All-Student-SAC Nominations Assembly, it is the sole responsibility and right of the SAC as representing the student body to legislate and to debate, if necessary, on matters of election procedure. The Sky scraper statement and cartoon assume that every SAC member voting in that room was against the release of the numerical results, on principle. Such is not the case. Several members, concurring with the President's own position, are not personally opposed to such a release. Rather, they object merely to the situation in which the release was demanded. When the SAC was informed of the Skyscraper's insistence for numerical results, an emergency meeting, which in terrupted the ballot counting, was called at 4 p.m., solely for consideration of the Sky scraper's request. Ten members of the council (as candidates, seven members of the council were ineligible to be present in the counting room) carefully considered and discussed the issue. In light of the preceding statements the SAC knows that democratic principles were served, and further, that there is no sub stitute for the whole truth. The President and Officers of The Student Activities Council Editor's Comment: First, we thank the SAC for their list of instructions as to typo graphical style. However, we trust our abilities as students of journalism to guide us in choosing proper typography. As the SAC claims their privilege (and rightly) to legislate and to debate on mat ters of election procedures, so do we claim (and just as rightly) the privilege and duty as a newspaper to obtain and publish news for the benefit of the majority. We conclude with the words of Thomas Jefferson, The basis of our government be ing the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Quad before FCC We hope the Federal Communications Commission will not miss the significance of a point made by Ward L. Quaal, gen eral manager of WGN, Inc. Quaal testified Thursday that he prac tically had to go begging to find sponsor ship for one of the city's leading cultural programs: the Great Music from Chicago series with the Chicago Symphony Or chestra. He said that he once sent telegrams to 1G2 leading Chicago companies, seek ing sponsors for the individual programs. He had 19 replies, and none of them sponsored a broadcast. Chicago Daily News, April 17,19G2 tare Players will become wandering troubadours. If the audience won't come to them, the players will go to the audience. Car Poolers Beware: The new park ing lot might be picketed by Hoffa and Glimco, as Mundelein taxi driv ers fish for their cars off the seawall. It Could Happen:: After viewing that frightening death trauma called the Twist, a new course called Smoker Survival will be intro duced. Smoker Solution: Perhaps Loy- olans PDA toward the juke box will be redirected to its proper perspec tive girls (something automation can't replace). New Pledge Slogans: Mums for Millions or even Azaleas for Zillions oh well). TV Stars: Mundelein will be on the College Bowl so long we'll have to sign a long-term contract with CBS. Really Big Show: There'll be SRO (standing room only) at future Va riety Shows after a complete sellout for its MONTH'S run.
