Peggy Kelliher, chairman of Fo cus: America, the first week of the program, reported to the coun cil that student interest in the pro gram was -apparently negligible. Peggy said that of the few people present at the daily sessions, many were required to attend as a class assignment and some were faculty members. Lack Interest She pointed out the senselessness of engaging such prominent figures as congressmen and noted profes sors if the student body is not inter ested in such programs. The three remaining weeks were to have been Focus: Contempo rary Religions ; Focus: Common Market ; Focus: United Nations Spotlight: Emerging Nations. However, after the report of the first week was given, a motion was offered to eliminate the remaining weeks. After debate and delibera tion, the motion was passed by a majority and the SAC program for the year was abandoned. Present Report According to the treasury report given by Diane Sargol for the past month, 290.93 has been spent on SAC activities. Funds were alloted for: the benefit, 76; Big Sisters, 75; operating expenses of the SAC, 102.93; and Focus: America speakers, 37. 1,143.86 has been spent in the past month on inter-collegiate ac tivities. Christine Mocarski, SAC president, was given 34.25 for her personal expenses at the summer congress of the National Student Association (NSA).

Foreign Film Depicts Russian Feudal Epic Russia will provide the setting for the film Alexander Nevsky, starring Nicolai Tcherkassav, which will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 17 in the College Theater. The second offering of the For eign Film Forum is the epic tale of Alexander Nevsky, the Prince of Novgorod, and his struggles against the Teutonic knights in 1242. Though it is not a religious film, anti-clerical elements are nu merous, because of the political line imposed on film makers in the So viet Union. Direct Film Alexander Nevsky is directed by Sergei Eisenstein who is ranked as the greatest of Russian directors and as one of the most important figures in the cinema world. In his films, Eisenstein focuses on collec tivity and the crowd. Technical detail plays a vital role. Various recurring themes in the musical score by Sergei Proko fiev indicate the emotions of the ac tors to the viewer. Sensitivity to the beauty of image is demonstrated by panoramic shots and the greater element of light used. Glimpse Beauty There is also a human interest angle for the viewer. Olga and Vassilissa, virgin warriors por trayed by Anna Danilova and Vera Ivasceva, offer a glimpse at the type of beauty desired by the Russian moviegoer. Despite dynamic action through out the film, occasional humor re lieves the heroic elements. Single admission tickets will be available at the door for 50 cents, and subscription series tickets may be purchased for 3.

Labs Receive New Scalers Of Radiation With the arrival of two new in struments from the University of Hawaii, the biology department of Mundelein College has begun a gradual build-up to possible experi ments with radiation in its labora tories. The instruments, machines simi lar to a Geiger counter, are called scalers and can count per minute the radiation given off by a source. Mr. Jack Denning of the biology department explained: The use of instruments of this type, dealing with radiation, is new to our de partment it may be common in the physics or chemistry depart ments, but not to the biology de partment at Mundelein. We are slowly working up to a point where our students can use and experi ment with radiation in the field of biology. The Institute of Radiation Biolo gists of Hawaii through the Atomic Energy Commission, has given the two scalers to the college. The suit case-shaped instruments, each one worth approximately 1,000, are temporarily in Lab Room 602. Sister Mary Cecilia, Sister Mary Donald, Sister Mary Jean Michael, Sister Mary Neal, Paul O'Dea, Sis ter Mary Ann Ida and Dr. Hruby. Their main task is to design a basic studies program and describe the tutorial system and required academic counseling program. The committee's studies will also en compass the honors program in transition. The committee on specialization is setting guide lines for designing major sequences and areas of con centrated study. It must also re view and approve those programs submitted by department chairmen. The evaluation of pre-professional sequences, such as teacher educa tion and speech correction, as well as present testing procedures come under the committee's jurisdiction. The group's members include: Sis ter Mary Ignatia, chairman, Sister Mary Antonia, Sister Mary Eloise, Sister Mary St. George, Mrs. Ma tula, Sister Mary Therese Avila, Sister Mary Therese, Sister Mary Ann Ida, Dr. Hruby and Sister Mary Georgita. The zest, enthusiasm and energy demonstrated by these committees is unbelievable, said Sister Mary Ignatia, and we hope that they will soon be in a' position capable of directing department chairmen in the redesigning of major se quences and pertinent areas of con centration. The continuing education com mittee is a degree completion pro gram designed for women who have left college and later desire a de gree. This will eventually include day, evening and home study classes. One of its most important fea tures will be a unique counseling program, said Sister Mary Ignatia, that will avoid a mechanical dis position and deal with the indi vidual person in accordance with her special needs. Sister believes that this phase, which will be terminated in the envisioned curriculum, is the most exciting and crea tive. Because of this, Sister hopes to utilize student opinion by drawing students into com mittees a.-, resources. Sister feels that students are as in- dispensible now as they were during the analysis itself. To explain the new curriculum under the 3-3 System which re sulted from the Institutional An alysis, Sister has held two informa tion sessions. She answered ques tions Nov. 3 at the sophomore class meeting and Nov. 5 at the junior meeting. Tom To Host Cotillion xxx Sophomore Cotillion XXX, sponsored by the sophomore class, will be held Nov. 27 at the Tarn O'Shanter Country Club in suburban Niles.
