Maroon

              the MAROON Vol. XXXVII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., January 29, 1960 No. 9 ..the inside story By HIL LEIBE 'New' Semester Offers Change The Maroon's principal editorial beckons each student to take advantage of the new college semester. Past success should be respected; past failures should not be repeated. Moreover, everyone should realize that he or she is now in an adult world, and accept the responsibility that such a plane entails. Perhaps Bill Hammel and his student council should pay particular attention to this editorial. During their election in the sprint; of 1959 many things were promised. BUT—we still have no solution to the parking problem, the cafeteria situation is hopeless, and the junior-senior prom also seems like a lost cause. Page 4 Business Grads Need 'Patience' Three professors from the college of business administration discuss the employment situation facing Southern business graduates. The home-picture looks bright—if patience is a prominent virtue among these grads. But the call seems to sound: "Go west . . . and east . . . and north, young men;" those "wonderful" job opportunities are just beyond that Mason-Dixon line. Page 2 Scribe Presents Campus Secrets "I cannot tell a lie," shouts Ronald Murray. And he sets out to prove this point in his column, "Murray-Go-Round." All the gossip and secrets of campus life are exposed by this whisperer. The fun-filled world of. dating is brought to the reader in a very colorful, often times hilarious style. Learn the who, what, when, where, why and how's of the social-minded students attending Loyola. Page 4 'Sweetie' Dance Set By Frosh The freshman committee of the student council has announced its Sweetheart Cotillion. The event will be the first—and perhaps the only — really big university-wide dance of the year. The presentation of the frosh sweetheart will be a highlight of the affair. Page 6 'Glory Land' For Basketball A former Maroon editor turns up as our "sports expert." Nat Belloni discusses Coach Gardiner and his basketball team. It won't be a .500 season by any stretch of the imagination, nor will attendence at the games likely improve; but Loyola athletics appear to be on the road to salvation. Halleauhah! Page 5 Parking Status Hits New 'Low' Loyola's acute parking problem takes another turn — for the Worse! Councilman Victor Schiro seems to have misinterpreted the student council's "valiant" efforts at a solution to the situation. Students are now faced with more signs, more trouble and subsequently more parking tickets. Oh, well, a ticket, a tasket . . . Loyola gathers violations by the basket.

Loyola Receives Grants From Three Oil Companies The university has received grants-in-aid under the education programs of three major oil companies. The Very Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J., university president, announced that the Shell Companies Founda- tions, Inc., and Texaco, Inc., have each awarded a $1500 grant to Loyola. The Esso Education Foundation presented a capital grant of $25,- 000 to the university at the annual alumni banquet held in December. The grant is being used toward the building and development fund. The Shell Companies Foundation grant is one of a number known as Shell Assists to privately supported colleges and universities under a program founded in 1958. Under terms of the award, the grant will be divided in three parts with equal portions going for unrestricted use, general faculty development, and faculty development within the Loyola chemistry department. Under the Texaco grant, awarded for the 1959-60 academic year, Loyola is one of 200 colleges and universities receiving direct financial assistance in the program of education support. This program also includes scholarship and fellowship assistance for approximately 300 men at more than 80 educational institutions. Father Donnelly said that the grant (which is without stipulation as to use) will go to Loyola's program of progress building fund. A grant of $2500 has also been individually awarded to the college of business administration by United States Steel for the development of a program to improve teaching in fields of economics and other selected social sciences. The grant is to be used for a series of teacher training seminars. Father Donnelly, referring to the university expansion plans, said that Loyola has also received preliminary approval to borrow $3 million from the government for a dormitory, student center and faculty building addition. He stressed the university's need for outside financial assistance, pointing out it was necessary to make up a deficit of $325,- 000 to meet the 1958 operating budget of $2 million "to stay in business."
