Students' Quarrel Results In 'Assault & Battery' Suit A suit for assault and battery was filed against John "Fuzzy" Lopiccolo, an arts and sciences senior, following an altercation with another Loyola student in the campus cafeteria Monday afternoon. The suit was filed by Dale Thompson, an arts and science junior, after Lopiccolo "allegedly" hit him with an umbrella during the cafeteria incident. The argument was' brought about because of an automobile which the two had purchased together.Thompson and Lopiccolo had jointly purchased a '56 Chevrolet for approximately $1000 on the mutual agreement that each was to have the use of the car for six months of the year. TJie title to the car was put in Thompson's name. Thompson's six months ended about four weeks ago, according to Lopiccolo, and he refused to give up possession of the car. Lopiccolo said that he demanded the return of the money he had invested or the use of the car. Suzy Casey, A&S sophomore, became a mediatrix when she suggested that Thompson and Lopiccolo meet in the cafeteria at 1:30 Monday to discuss the situation. The two agreed to the meeting. A witness to the cafeteria incident, Harry Wheeler, BA junior, who was seated at a nearby table, said that he noticed the argument when Thompson and Lopiccolo raised their voices. "Lopiccolo pushed Thompson, hit him with the umbrella and then ran out of the side door of the cafeteria." Lopiccolo was seen running into Stallings Hall. Nat Belloni, A&S senior, gave his account of the incident. "The two began to argue loud* ly and I heard Lopiccolo say, 'I want my money back or else.' Thompson stood up and picked up a Coke bottle from the table. Lopiccolo shoved him and then struck him with the umbrella. He turned and ran out of the cafeteria." Thompson claims that as a result of the assault he has difficulty concentrating and that he may fail his courses. The facts reported will be used in a Criminal Moot Court Trial to be held on April 25 in the Civil District Court. Council for the defense will be James Arceneaux, law senior, and Merrill Landwehr, law junior. Prosecutors will be Frans Labranche, law senior, and Barbara Blumer, law junior.
