              The Maroon Vol. XXXVIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, April 6, 1962 No. 19 Building underway with ground breaking Ground breaking ceremonies for a central plant to furnish air-conditioning and heating for the campus were held yesterday afternoon. The plant is the first of three proposed buildings initiating the university's "Program of Progress." His Excellency, the Most Reverend John P. Cody, coadjutor archbishop of the archdiocese of New Orleans, presided at the ceremony which took place on the site adjacent to Bobet and Stallings halls where the plant will be built. The building, a windowless masonry structure of contemporary design, was designed by the firm of de Laureal & Moses, Inc., consulting engineers, and will be constructed by the J. A. Jones Construction Co. at an approximate cost of $585,000. • THREE LEVELS The plant will be built in three levels to minimize noise with an exterior of brick and concrete panels of a striking design, according to W. David de Laureal, president of the consulting firm. Bids will be opened next Thursday on the proposed men's dormitory. This structure will be six stories high and will accommodate 400 male students, with two to a room. It will be located on the west side of the drill field between the physics building and the fieldhouse. Construction is expected to start shortly. Final plans are now being modified for the construction of the student center and are ex- pected to be completed in the very near future. The facilities of the heating plant will control temperature in the proposed buildings and will eventually be extended to include present university buildings.• THE FIRST PHASE The first phase of construction will result in a 600-ton system with a cooling tower on the top level, a gas-fired temperature water boiler on the second level and a hot water actuated absorption refrigeration machine on the ground level. In the second phase of construction a central push-button control system will be installed. Closed circuit television, as used in the LSUNO system designed by the same consultants, will monitor the system in a dozen or more buildings. Second a. d third additions to the plant will provide extension of the system to all existing buildings and several new ones not yet designed. Making room for progress . . . This wreckage of the old university press building will be replaced shortly by the heating and cooling plant for which ground-breaking was held yesterday. The plant, a $585,000 venture which will be the first of three buildings to go up under the university's Program of Progress, will be located adjacent to Stallings and Bobet halls. NSA referendum vote passes at SC meeting Date undetermined By CHARLES YOUNG A referendum vote on United States National Student Association was passed at the Tuesday meeting of the Student Council by an 18 for, two against, and one abstention vote. The Council in passing the motion set no specific date for the referendum to be held. NSA was voted on campus in March 1960 in a drive spearheaded by Bill Caldwell, then sophomore representative from business adminis- * tration. The main opposition stemmed from Council President Bill Hammel. Hammel said in an article that appeared in the April 22, 1960 issue of The Maroon that NSA had a "pink-tint." He also listed his main objections as that they were opposed to loyalty oaths, the attorney general's list, and rolls of memberships. Caldwell pointed out that NSA had performed many useful services to its members. He cited the example of the parking situation at numerous other colleges. He also said that it had helped to improve the freshmen orientation programs and other campus problems. After much heated discussion the motion to allow NSA to come on campus passed by a 22-4 margin. After the motion was passed Council Moderator, the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., congratulated the members of the Council on their decision. Father Boggs commented that never before has the Council looked into the association as well I as this year. As things turned out NSA was one of the most controversial questions on campus. In last year's Student Council elections it was the issue. Earlier in the year Father Boggs vetoed a motion by the Council proposing the referendum.man, Bernard Greenwood, proposed that the referendum be held after some education on NSA was presented to the student body. Members of the Council said that no motion would be needed because the referendum had been passed earlier in the year. But as Council President Ken Sills pointed out, the Council never approved the referendum as such, but just a committee looking into it. The main argument centered around the fact that under the Student Council charter only the Student Council has the right to kick an organization off campus. "If we do what is proposed with NSA, then why don't we do it with other organizations," said Henry Lambert, BA representative. Francis Meyer, pharmacy representative, pointed out that NSA is the only organization which all the students belong to. The most fiery speech on the question was delivered by Larry MeNamara, law school president. "You people yelled NSA all year, and didn't do anything about it. It was main issue in last year's elections and it is one of our biggest commitments for the whole year. Therefore I urge and support this referendum," MeNamara said. MeNamara proposed the original motion that was vetoed by Father Boggs in the beginning of the year. Mc Carthy to address law students Senator Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota will be the principal speaker at the fifth annual Natural Law Institute to be presented by the St. Thomas More law club on Thursday at 8 p.m. in Holy Name of Jesus auditorium. His topic will be "Political Expediency in the Light of the Natural Law." Other speakers and panel members include State Senator Adrian Duplantier; Dr. Brendon F. Brown, professor of Law at Loyola; and Mr. Alan Karabus of the law faculty at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. The Rev. Thomas H. Clancy, S.J., of the Loyola political science department will serve as moderator. • KLEPPNER CHAIRMAN Fred Kleppner, chairman of the institute committee and a senior in law at Loyola, said that Father Clancy will present the objective principles of the natural law at the beginning of the gathering, after which Senator McCarthy will present his talk. He said that the moderator will ask a few specific questions of the panel dealing with actual subjects, such as a bill pending in the legislature, that will require them to agree or disagree with natural law. Kleppner also said that Senator Duplantier and Senator McCarthy were chosen so that they could present the practical application of the natural law. Dr. Brown and Mr. Karabus, on the other hand, will present the theoretical viewpoint.• SOCIAL LEGISLATION Senator McCarthy is considered by Kleppner to be an advocate of natural law, and he has sponsored a good deal of social legislation. Kleppner said that Dr. Brown, author of "The Natural Law Reader" is one of the leading natural law thinkers in the country.Mr. Karabus, on the other hand, will present the classic anti-natural law approach. He is a professor of jurisprudence at McGill and was educated at Oxford. Kleppner pointed out that the purpose of the institute is to provide a medium through which natural law, which is the cornerstone of all man-made law, may be presented with precision and clarity on the practical level of application to the most momentous problems confronting society today. • EXPLORE PROBLEMS He also said that he anticipates the exploration of such problems as: the duty of the elected representative in a conflict between his conscience and the will of the voters; and the limits imposed upon the candidate for election in offering the voters what they desire. Other members of the committee include Ronald Fonsega, Thomas Bevins, Lawrence Smith, and ex-officio member Robert Thome, president of St. Thomas More. In the past years topics for the institutes have been: "A Round Table Conference on Natural Law," "Automation in the Light of the Natural Law," "Federal and State Relations in the Light of the Natural Law." Retiring colonel receives citation A commendation ribbon and a citation from the Secretary of the Army Elvis J. Stahr were presented to retiring Lt. Col. A. H. Stuckey of Loyola's ROTC unit in ceremonies during Tuesday's drill. The Loyola Battle Group also paid honor to Lt. Col.

Arts and science president Ken Sills, presently running for re-election said with regard to The Maroon, "I believe a constructive outlook and program are needed."' He said, "First The Maroon must be able to operate free of censorship if it is to present student viewpoints. The paper must be free to offer commendations where needed, and criticize failures when evident." He hopes to accomplish this by forming a public relations sub-committee under the Council's publicity committee. "This committee would serve as a " direct means of communication with The Maroon," ■ Sills added. "I am also greatly interested in student welfare," he said. Some areas in which Sills plans to wor£ are: student tutoring service, and having the library opened on Friday evenings and Sunday after-1 noons. J. B. Cordaro who is presently serving as arts i and science representative is making his second try I for public office at Loyola. I Cordaro's platform features three main points. The first of which deals with the parking problem. ' In this area he proposes that the Council seek more parking lots on campus, and try to get the removal of the two-hour signs on Palmer. With regard to the intramural program Cordaro ! feels that by strengthening the intramural board and using funds from both the Student Council ' and university functions the chief problems of the 1 'mural program will be solved. Cordaro hopes that ' more effective publicity will encourage better student participation. 1 "The Student Council can aid The Maroon in the ' presenting of student opinion through a Council 1 Co-ordination Committtee," Cordaro said. ' Fred Ketchum, arts and science junior, is making - his first try for public office at Loyola. He too proposes a plan for improving The Maroon and the ! intramural program. i He also proposes a program for unlimited cuts • for juniors and seniors with a 3.0 average. "By i doing this we hope to stimulate individual learning," he added. In business administration two candidates are ■ running for president; Gene Smythe and Jack Dardis. Both are juniors. Smythe is a member of the League of Undergraduate Colleges headed by J. B. Cordaro, the presidential candidate in arts and sciences.

Gelpi is at present the junior representative for the college of music, and is also running on the Cordaro supported League of Undergraduate Colleges.Zansler on the other hand is running as an independent.
