AAC ponders relevancy of liberal arts college Is the Christian college just an excuse for a private college? Moreover, Is it only the result of a separatist mentality, an institution dedicated to sameness? Students and faculty con sidered these questions at an Academic Affairs-sponsored meet ing. Jan. 16. In McCormick Lounge. ThLs discussion grew out of the response to a previous meeting on the meaning and goals of the liberal arts col lege. The Faculty Committee on Rank and Tenure initiated the discussion of the liberal arts-Christian college in their attempt to discern criteria for faculty promotion. The panel for the Christian college discussion included Sister Dolores Dooley. chair man, philosophy department; Sister June O'Connor, theology department. junior Russian major Claudia McClellan and Cindy Lee. the moderator and sophomore representative to the AAC. Considering the curriculum of a Christian college. Sister Dolores cited specifications for a course of study: the need for theology to relate with ihe other disciplines, the need for extra-curricular liturgical op portunities, the need for the ecumenical college in the post- Vatican age. and the necessity of independent, but not an tagonistic, core courses in philosophy and theology. Viewing the modern histori cal approach to philosophy as the stimulation to free inquiry. Sister Dolores linked this ap proach with the integration of the disciplines. No longer a study of certitudes judiciously handed out, philosophy must spark a student's awareness of himself and encourage him to question all areas of con cern. The certitudes taught under the systematic approach to philosophy are directly respon sible for the rampant agnos ticism students resort to when faced with Inadequacy of these c?rtitudes, according to Sister. There Is a discrepancy Sister June O'Connor believes, in Mundelein's policy of requiring Add two to board Sister M. Roberta Kuhn and Sister M. Joan Doyle have been newly appointed to the Mundelein College Board of Trustees. They were recently elected preseident and first vice-president of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the General Chapel in Dubuque. Sister Roberta has just com pleted a six year term as Councillor general of the order, and has also served as pro vincial of Clarke College in Dubuque. Sister Joan Doyle is present ly a member of the theology department at Clarke. She was chairman of the personal growth and development task force committee of the BVM self study. The new members of the board Were Introduced at an Informal board meeting Jan. 11. at the Scholastlcate. theology only for Catholic stu dents. This Indicates, she said, a misunderstanding of college theology, which is intended not to be an exercise for conver sion but a dialogue of all stu dents concerning their inter pretation of questions vital to existence. Claudia McClellan. junior, said that Mundelein has achieved a balance in the pre sentation of ideas. There is definitely a need for a Christ ian college, she added, to offer the Christian point of view. As was intended however, the panel and audience even tually raised more questions than answers. Vol. XXXVIII Mundelein College, Chicago, 111., 60626, January 19, 1968 No. 10 Probe alternatives Security delays keys The administrative council at an informal meeting Jan. 10 approved a recommenda tion submitted by the resident committee investigating the no- hours policy. The recommen dation states that there be a sufficient number of keys which seniors and those 21 may use. These would be returned by noon of the fol lowing day. The administrative council. consisting of Sister Ann Ida, Dr. Norbert Hruby, Daniel Ca hill. Sister Mary Griffin, Sis ter Mary Cramer, Sister Mary Columba Kriebs aod Sister Mary Emily Flynn approved this solution believing the rec ommendation had been ac cepted by the resident moder ators and the dorm council. However, the moderators and dorm council are pending action on the recommendation Debate relevancy of church at gathering with Msgr. Egan Students irom Gustavus Adolphus. St. Peter, Minn., and Mundelein College gath ered here on January 15 to share their ideas and reflect on the relevancy of the Church In an urban society. Four speakers were invited to pre sent their experiences in Inner City development. Speakers included Monsignor John Egan. pastor of Presen tation parish and director of urban affairs for the Archdio cese of Chicago, Jack Mac- Namara SJ, a Jesuit scholas tic working in the Lawndale area; George Bergeron, direc tor of CCD progress; and Jack Arnold, from the Office of Economic Opportunity. Monsignor Egan stated that although the structured reli gious life is dead. Christianity is very much alive. There is a humanity which shines forth from the poorest and most Il literate. In Monsignor's opinion Christ is where people are suffering and alienated. He stressed that his job ls to lis ten to the suffering people and to be a living witness to the gospel which is best done by serving their human needs. Jack MacNamara explained what his work In the Lawn- dale area entails. He is living In Lawndale with twelve col lege students. He said that the main purpose for their Lawn- IConlinued on Daqe 31 REFLECTING on a point made by Monsignor John Egan in an inner-faith discussion Jan. 15 are George Bergeron, director of CCD prog ress.

Sister Prudence Moy lan, a Northland modera tor, pointed out that the mod erators are In favor of the pol icy of no-hours. But the pro posal approved by the admin istrative council involved too many practical risks not only for the particular girl using the key, but also for other resi dents in the dorm. (1) Keys can be lost or duplicated, (2) keys can be removed from purses, 13' students can be fol lowed back to the dorm, and (4) the door can be easily left ajar. A solution has to be reached to the satisfaction and protection of everyone in volved, she said. During the discussion Sister Mary Cramer decided after deeper thought that hiring a night watchman is positively the best solution. She noted that hiring a watchman for both dorms would cost approx imately 12,000 a year, a sum that could not possibly fit into the college budget until next year. To further explore the prac tical aspects of the problem, a discussion was held Jan. 18 with Rosemary O'Brien, dorm council president, the execu tive board of the council, Maryellen Morelli, chairman of the no-hours committee, committee members, resident moderators and interested sen iors and 21 year olds. The committee was formed in the winter of 1967 to begin investigation of a no-hours policy. The investigation con sisted of (1) a poll of juniors and seniors in both Coffey Hall and the Northland, (2) a sur vey of other colleges and uni versities in the midwest area concerning this policy, and (3) an analysis of the possibilities for the adoption of such a policy at Mundelein. Clown way to serious note Beatles' music grows along with youth By Aldine Favaro The Beatles have grown up with the generation of today. Most university students were a part of the Beatlemania that screamed a Yeah Yeah Yeah to four disgracefully long-haired boys who winked at Ed Sullivan's camera and wailed a She was just seven teen, you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond compare But just as the student of today has lost her fashionable bubble cut In a mass of long straight hair, or discarded his high school letter jacket for an Army - Navy Surplus Store reject, so too have the dark- suited clean - shaven Beatles died. The formal burial was attended by such people as Marlon Brando, Diana Dors. Marilyn Monroe, Lenny Bruce and Aubrey Beardsley. It was held In full dress regalia on the cover of their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles themselves came, standing before their flower-covered grave with the BEATLES spelled out on it. Musicians Reborn Reborn inside the jacket of Sgt. Pepper are a mature so phisticated technicalized group of musicians. They have in this album, probably the first real album ever recorded. It is not a collection of songs, but rather an organic work that took four months in the making. With a vaudeville at mosphere to it, the album dips in the classic, the base, and middJUe - of - the - road music forms. In the first track, the Beatles create the vaudeville of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band who start the show on the road against a taped back ground of screaming cheering multitudes. The Beatles mock their own infathomable popu larity, the age of vaudeville, and themselves, yet they main tain that wink in their eyes. You're such a lovely au dience. We'd like to take you home with us. We'd love to take you home.
