SAC Meet Gives Voters Background on Benefit Choice Voting between a pledge-fund drive and a performance-type program for next year's Benefit will take place Thursday and Friday in the student lounge from 9 to 4 p.m. DISCUSSING THE WHY and how of this system at the SAC as sembly last week, Sister Mary Ann Ida as well as a representative of a the atrical agency and two class officers reviewed the possibilities for next year's Benefit. Emphasizing the why, Sister Ann Ida stated the gap between the tuition received and the actual cost of running the college. In addition, Sister explained that not only is the benefit needed to upkeep the school but it is also an important factor in receiving contributions from outside cor porations. The how of the Benefit was dis cussed through the proposal of two plans. The first, explained by Robert Gaus, a representative of William Morris Theatrical Agency, concerned the hiring of such performers as the Four Lads, Johnathan Winters, Joey Bishop, the Stratford Festival and .the Little Orchestra Society. MARGE CASEY, sophomore class secretary, suggested a series of acts which would have more student appeal. Among these were Johnny Mathis, Louis Armstrong, Bob Newhart, Ah mad Jamal and George Shearing. On the other hand, Mary Williams, vice president of the junior class, rec ommended the pledge-fund method which involves direct student contri butions. The money could be given on a monthly basis for the entire school year or during a six-week campaign in which the student makes three con tributions. NSA Votes To Ban House Probe Group Mundelein delegates were outvoted last weekend on NSA resolutions to ban the House Un-American Activities Committee and to protest the firing of Professor Leo Koch by the University of Illinois.
