Maroon

              The Maroon  Vol. XXXVIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 23, 1962 No. 16 Noted Jesuit poet, Fr. Quirk, succumbs Fr. Quirk, beloved friend and counsellor to his students, passed away last Sunday. He will be remembered for many years to come as an exemplary Jesuit educator and Catholic poet. Loyola lost a fine gentleman and a famous poet last Sunday night when the Rev. Charles J. Quirk, S.J., died after a short illness, at the age of 73. Father Quirk was an educator who spent most of his long career as a Jesuit at Loyola. He was teaching his classes in English literature until the fatal illness forced him into a hospital the day before his death. Mr. George N. Shuster, former president of Hunter College and managing editor of Commonweal, wrote in a review that "Father Quirk is the greatest living Catholic poet." This was a view shared by those Loyolans who kept up with Father's poetry. There have been seven volumes of his poetry published, the latest coming out during the Christmas holidays, entitled "The Wand of Prospero." His poems range over many phases of nature, often seen from a mystic viewpoint. His subjects included moods, places, the universe, the earth, seasons, death, life, and religion. Father Quirk was a gentleman of culture. His students saw him as more than a teacher but as a counsellor and friend. Despite his genius, he didn't expect too much from his students and invariably understood their failings. He will be remembered both as a wonderful priestpoet and a true gentleman. We at Loyola will miss him.

SC to investigate Maroon, special committee created By GWEN SAN MARCO Lagarde's motion passes without dissenting vote bilfty  organization, was created by unanimous Student Council vote Tuesday. Stewart Lagarde, Council treasurer, proposed the creation of the committee because The Maroon had refused a Council invitation extended^- earlier this fall. The invitation requested that The Maroon's editor appear before the group and state the paper's aims, and answer to the committee's issuance of the organization questionnaire.Grenrood admitted that he didn't have the reply from The Maroon with him but emphasized that the sending of the questionnaire and the questionnaire' itself was not meant as an infringement upon the rights of the paper. He said that the form was simply a request that The Maroon supply information regarding its oi'ganization. According to Grenrood, the questionnaire was part of a complete compilation of certain basic data on Loyola's organizations."I don't believe that the questionnaire was antagonizing," said Grenrood. He further stated, "It's not our way of poking our nose into anything that is not our business." "What brought about Maroon antagonism towards the Student Council?" wondered the Charter committee head. "Why aren't we able to co-exist as student activities? I'm sure there are many ways that The Maroon could benefit The Maroon, Lagarde said, had also deemed it fitting not to fill out a questionnaire distributed by the Charter committee to all organizations on campus. Lagarde claimed that students are protesting against The Maroon's one-sideness regarding the Council. "If The Maroon doesn't come under Student Council jurisdiction, then The Maroon subscription fee shouldn't be included in student tuition since students pay tuition and they are the ones protesting," declared Lagarde. "If The Maroon does come under our authority," emphasized Lagarde, "then we (the Council) should investigate The Maroon." • CLIQUE CONTROLLED Lagarde said that the committee would investigate The Maroon's activities. "If by some chance," he said, "a clique controls The Maroon, and it is under the Student Council, and as students pay for The Maroon, our duty as a committee would be to investigate. If we (Council) have authority then we should see that we get people who report well." Ken Sills, Council president, said, "If The Maroon is a student newspaper, it should represent the students and if it is a laboratory course it should be treated as such on the campus." Joe D'Avignon, A&S soph, questioned, "If such a clique does control The Maroon, has it kept other people from joining the staff or is it that the members of said "clique" are the only ones interested enough to write for the paper?"Bert Harris, A&S representative, said that if The Maroon is not under the Council's jurisdiction then the Council should determine concrete ways of solving the problems existing between The Maroon and the Council. • CO-EXISTENCE Peaceful co-existence between the Council and The Maroon should exist, said J. B. Codaro, Council parliamentarian. "The fact that it doesn't" he said, "is possibly our (Council's) fault, possibly The Maroon's. In any case, we should try to settle the difficulties." A request was made by recording secretary Marilyn Vidacovich that Bernard Grenrood, Charter committee head read the form which The' Maroon sent back in Resolution on Ireland authorized A resolution recommending that the university administration discontinue intercollegiate sports activities between Loyola of New Orleans and Loyola of Chicago was passed by the Student Council Tuesday. Because of printed protestations voiced by Coach George Ireland of Chicago against New Orleans' treatment of his integrated basketball team, Council president Ken Sills proposed the resolution. Originally proposed last week, the resolution was tabled until this week's meeting due to objections from certain Student Council members who felt that a vote on the matter should not be taken until a clear picture of the facts could be presented. At this meeting, Sills said, "As far as facts being established, these articles (printed attacks of Ireland) definitely appeared and were exposed in the newspapers cited in The Maroon." "My purpose," emphasized Sills, "in proposing the resolution was not to create publicity in The Maroon. My point is that these statements of Ireland were made and upon contact with the Associated Press, Ireland did not retract his comments," pointed out the Council president. Sills continued, "A definite injustice has been done by such statements made by the representative (Ireland) of that university (Loyola of Chicago) and I don't think Loyola of New Orleans should play Loyola of Chicago as long as Ireland is there. "For the present, the action taken as suggested by our resolution is up to the president of the university and Coach Gardiner," stated Sills. "What Coach Gardiner and Loyola of Chicago have to say on the matter regarding Ireland's statements are not relative to the passing of the resolution since Ireland did make the remarks," the Council president said. "What force the resolution carries behind it is only that of the Student Council as representative of the Loyola student body," Sills concluded. Slides of Spain viewed bv PAC Members and guests of the Pan American club were treated to an armchair tour of Spain through the slides of Miss Carolyn Brandt, Loyola graduate who spent a year in Spain, and commentary by Miss Isabel Snyder, associate professor of Spanish. In Miss Snyder's talk, "History and Culture of Spain as Seen Through Her Cities," she used famous Spanish landmarks to illustrate the most outstanding events in that country's history. Her talk took the audience from the colonization of the Iberian Peninsula to the present day Spain. One of the highlights of the evening was the Valley of the Fallen. The Valley is scheduled to take the place of the Escorial, former burial place for Spanish monarch, which has now become inadequate.The Valley is unique in the sense that it has a church built into the side of a mountain with its crest used as the base of a cross. Miss Snyder said that on a clear night the cross can be seen in Madrid, over 20 miles away. In ceremonies after the lecture Miss Snyder was made an honorary member of the club by Tom Grace, president. Fencing parking lot . . . A workman hammers away at the latest project of the parking committee—enclosing the Loyola street parking lot. Committee chairman Bert Harris says that if all goes according to expectations, two other lots on Calhoun street are due for the same treatment within the next few weeks, as part of a plan to generally improve parking facilities at the university.

According to election committee findings, the school of law would be allowed  president and two delegates for the April elections. The school at present has a president and In order to keep its third delegate, the school of law was required to have a sufficient enrollment of students. The election committee findings calculated by Jenny Dell'Osso showed that the school was short seven students. Jenny Dell'Osso then suggested that the Council overlook the Van Aucoin, election committee head, explained that in past representation determinings by the committees of other Councils, loose interpretation was practiced when a school or college would lose a representative and strict interpretation when schools or colleges would gain a delegate. Since representation could not be based on spring enrollment due to the impossibility of obtaining spring semester registration, the fall semester's enrollment had to serve as a basis for representa- Because the words "in excess of this base figure" contained in the article, regarding representation of schools and colleges caused so much confusion at last Tuesday's meeting, J. B. Codaro, parliamentarian, and Poochie Nicholson, A&S representative proposed that the words be deleted. Nicholson said that the deletion of the words would probably increase the Council's membership and this would not hurt since more people are needed on the Student Council. Carolyn Meyer, corresponding secretary asked that if it was the Council's intention to increase its membership that the election committee figure out how many and present the facts at the next meeting if the motion were accepted.Ken Sills, Council president, recommended that the report of the law school representation be filed by the election committee for future committee's reference.

John J. Sullivan, national director of the program, and Miss Barbara Boggs, who is serving her second year as an Extension volunteer. First they will speak to the Student Council at 5:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. groups, such as the Sodalities, fraternities, sororities, political science, social science, Democratic and Republican clubs will hear the discussion. Also, all interested seniors are invited to attend at this time. Father Sullivan and Barbara, a member of his staff and niece of the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., dean of students, have been visiting Catholic universities over the country since the beginning of the academic year. They are explaining and discussing home mission work which enables students to work as teachers, catechists, nurses, social workers,workers, Newman club organizers and Guild workers in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Also, international mission work—Papal Volunteers for Latin America—will be discussed. Enthusiastic over the program, Father Sullivan said, "Three hundred Volunteers to serve in 10 home mission dioceses—this was our dream for 1962. It seemed fantastic last September, but I really think we're going to do it." Volunteers receive board, room and a small monthly allowances. Immediately after the formal program there is always a period devoted to counseling individual students and answering their specific questions on lay mission life. This is where Barbara comes in. She explains, "So many of these students are definitely interested in serving as lay mission helpers but they want answers to their own questions and more often to the questions of their parents."
