Four Hit Road To Back Pack By Henry Ather If the Athletic Department wants to bestow a medal for school spirit, then Ramon E. de Arrigunaga, Joe Rodriguez, Malcolm Burns and Francis Jacob should line up single file and collect same. The reason—a mere 1200 mile automobile trip from New Orleans to Dayton and return just to follow the Pack and cheer for the Wolves against the country's number 6 team. The four stalwarts left Loyola Wednesday afternoon for the Flyers' camp and after the game were to leave for home and back to those 8 o'clock classes. It took school spirit—it took fortitude and it took a lot of gas and oil to do it—but where there's a "Wolfpack will" there seems to be a way. To Install New Elevator In Bobet Hall A completely automatic elevator will be in operation in Bobet Hall in about six weeks, according to Stanton Chassignac, head of the maintenance department. It will be key operated at first, serving only faculty members and handicapped students. Later it may be converted for general student use. The entire project will cost $25,000, Chassignac said. The eight to 10 passenger elevator, when completed, will feature a revolutionary type controller, which will eliminate the "fuzzy feeling you get in your stomach due to the sudden stops," he noted. This is made possible through use of a two-speed alternating current motor. The second motor will "kick in" a few feet before the elevator reaches the floor, gliding it to a gentle stop. There are only two of these new controllers in use today; the other one is also in New Orleans, according to Chassignac. The project was begun four weeks ago. Father Mulcrone Gets Math Post The Rev.
