Institutional Analysis Sparks Changes New Advisors Reduce Counselor-Student Ratio The results of the Institutional Analysis, climaxing two years of study, will be announced to the fac ulty in a special meeting Sept. 25. Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, featured speaker at the Honors Convocation citing out standing students Oct. 8, will give a full report to students at that assembly. The Executive Committee members, Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., Dr. Norbert Hruby, vice president, and Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, studied the reports and recom mendations of seven other com mittees regarding the various phases of Mundelein's academic life and as a result, have in augurated several revisions. Significant changes include addi tional administrative personnel: Sister Mary Artemas, B.V.M., reg istrar; Miss Mary Ann Annetti, assistant registrar; Sister Mary Georgita, B.V.M., assistant aca demic dean and director of the freshman advising program; Mr. Paul Crafton, director of admis sions and financial aid; Miss Eileen Haley, admissions counselor; Mrs. Nancy Cooper, placement director and Miss Jacke Bergen, director of foreign students. Several decisions concerning the faculty advising program are now in effect in order to ac commodate student desire for improving faculty-student rela tionships as indicated on ques tionnaires. An additional 18 faculty members have been assigned to freshmen and sophomores so each counselor will now have 15 rather than 25 advisees. New offices on the tenth floor will also facilitate more pri vate and individual attention. Another innovation is an ad visors' handbook which, accord ing to Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., will crystallize and structure the whole academic program and provide each ad visor with ready access to nec essary information. Among other improvements on campus are an air-conditioned audio-visual center in 308 equipped with black-out draperies and ac- coustical blocking; the refinishing of all blackboards; new classrooms 509 and 203-204 in the Scholasticate Building; new offices, The Sky scraper in 707, The Review in 1017 and SAC in 708; a central bulletin board to be placed opposite the Col lege dining room for faculty and student notices; the establishment of four conference rooms, 206, the Cardinal's room, the inner social room and the old bursar's office, to be used for meetings and seminars, and the initiation of a campus mail service. */7 Senator Denounces Court, LBJ in Political Address While pro-Goldwater demonstra tors marched outside the Pick-Con gress Hotel proclaiming Moscow is against Goldwater, how about you?, the Republican presidential candidate addressed the American Political Science Association, Sept. 11. The senator expressed delight at finding an open-minded audience until he realized his remarks were received with professional courtesy rather than enthusiasm. The mere mention of the names of President Johnson and Senator Hubert Hum phrey received greater reception than Senator Goldwater's remarks. The senator defined the nature of freedom as the fundamental dif ference between the major political parties. Proclaiming the absence of power the greatest asset to in dividual freedom, Goldwater re ferred to Lyndon Johnson as an College Sings Folk Liturgy The faculty and student body will assist at the celebration of the Mass of the Holy Spirit in the College Theater Sept. 21, at 10:30. Reverend Robert Henle, S.J., ex ecutive vice president of St. Louis University, will celebrate the Fa ther Rivers Mass, an American folk Mass. Father Henle, who is coming to Chicago specifically to celebrate this Mass, will speak on The Chris tian Commitment to Education. The ceremony will open with an academic procession of faculty and seniors. The rest of the student body, with the exception of the freshmen, will be in cap and gown. Since this Mass is one of group participation, the entire student body will join the Glee Club in the singing of the Mass. Father Henle will be assisted in the distribution of Holy Communion by Reverend William Clark of Mun delein's theology department and Reverend Juan Porras-Landeo of the Spanish department. by Sylvia Hajek arm-twisting, power-using Presi dent. He called the President's political philosophy totally at war with that of our Founding Fa thers. The real heroes of our nation, Goldwater maintained, were those who refrained from using power when its use was indiscriminate. He referred to the legislators who voted against Franklin Roosevelt's Supreme Court packing as real judicial heroes. Today's Supreme Court, accord ing to the Arizona conservative, is the least faithful to the constitu tional principal of limited govern ment. He cited the school prayer and state reapportionment decisions as examples of raw and naked power. I don't doubt that law must be kept up to date, Goldwater said, but we cannot extol a great Su preme Court or a great legislature at the expense of checks and bal ances. Although he is not a lawyer, Goldwater explained he was justi- Skyscraper Photo by Betsy Braunlin SKYSCRAPER photographers and reporters climbed hidden stairways, slipped between rows of Chicago police and Andy Frain ushers to get within 40 feet of the Republican presidential candidate, Barry Gold- water. fied in defying the Supreme Court, just as war is too important to be left to the generals, constitutional law is too important to be left to constitutional lawyers. Admitting he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the sena tor maintained, the discrimination against which the bill was directed was wrong, is wrong and will al ways be wrong as long as it exists anywhere in the world. He explained his belief that the tenth amendment forbids federal intervention in matters of segrega tion and integration. The union is a union, he said, only so long as the states are states. Conservatives have an unrelent ing faith in the constitution of the United States, the senator said. They do not like to see national problems attacked without patience with respect to the constitution. Our federal system must not be regarded as an antiquated hobble when it works slowly, Goldwater insisted. The fundamental greatness of American politics is based on the two-party system, said the sena tor, condemning third parties. He feels that as a Republican in a Democratic Congress he does not have time for much more than sur viving. There is a real place in Ameri can politics for real liberals and real conservatives, Goldwater said as he expressed hope that the con servative Republicans would once again become a majority party. He admitted that as a conservative he has to deal with the extreme right just as the liberal must deal with the extreme left. We both have to contend with the fringe, he said but there is no reason to become excited about extremists. New Comp Date Comprehensive exams for seniors have been rescheduled for April 2 and 3.
