              The Maroon Vol. XXIX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 22, 1963 No. 14 Grand Illusion' Runs Sun. 'Grand Illusion,, A Cinematic Masterpiece... Arm in a cast, French soldier Jean Gabin waits with his fellow prisoners in a German World War I army camp for the next event of the war in Jean Renoir's film masterpiece, "Grand Illusion." The The next film series offering, "Grand Illusion," is a French picture which was banned in Germany and Italy but lustily hailed in every other part of the world. Sponsored by the Thirty club, honorary journalism society, the film will be shown at 8 p.m. Sunday in Marquette auditorium."Phantom of the Opera," a silent screen classic starring Lon Chaney will also be shown. "Grand Illusion" is a war picture that shows none of the horrors of war but vividly depicts the psychological strain of unnatural times on a group of French prisoners in a German camp. It is a study of characterization. Principal prisoners are a stern patrician, Captain tie Boeldieu; his mechanic, Marechal; and a generous fellow who shares the canned delacacies sent him by his rich family. The group naturally tries to escape but Director Jean Renoir builds his plot, not around the success or failure of this enterprise, but around their relations with each other and with the guards. The picture was first produced in 1938, but was still drawing crowds in 1959 when it was rereleased.One of the best known films of Lon Chaney, "Phantom of the Opera" was considered for many years as the absolute height of the horror film. As the mysterious figure lurking within the dark and gloomy catacombs beneath the Opera House, Chaney succeeded in bringing a real chill to the audience. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $1.00. picture plays in Marquette auditorium Sunday at eight p.m. on the Film Series, sponsored by the Thirty club. Also on the agenda is the famous silent film classic, "Phantom of the Opera."

The identity of Miss Wolf will be kept secret until the half-time, with no member of The Wolf staff or even the five nominees knowing who Miss Wolf really is. Joe Lobo, "the spirit of Loyola revived," will make his initial appearance of the year at the game, greeting his fellow Loyolans before game-time. Joe Lobo's identity will also be revealed at half-time. The varsity-frosh game will be a regulation contest, 20-minute halves and officiated by professional referees. Proceeds of the game will go to the Hall of Fame Fund and for the Thirty club, honorary journalism society on the campus which is sponsoring the contest.

The Friends of The New Orleans Public library will present a talk by Dr. Richard Schenchner, assistant professor in the department of theatre at Tulane university, at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, March C. Dr. Schechner will speak on "New Orleans' Rear Guard Theatre." The talk will be held in the auditorium of the Milton H. Latter branch library and is open to the public. Dr. Schechner's remarks will detail the reasons for his opinion that modern theatre is almost nonexistent in New Orleans, and that the local theatre groups are "thirty years behind the times." According to Dr. Schechner, "For a city that claims to be so sophisticated and cosmopolitan, New Orleans is distinctly provin- cial in the realm of the theatre. The exciting things that are happening elsewhere are simply not available here." Aβ editor of the quarterly "Tulane Drama Review," the largest serious theatre magazine in the country, Dr. Schechner is well acquainted with the strong and active current interest in modern theatre in other parts of the country and the world. He is also a playwright, with two local productions of his work to his credit, and is the author of a number of published short stories, poems and critical articles.

The Loyola team is composed of Alex Ortolano, the team's high scorer, Andrew Dawson, Tony Morse, Richard Roy and Donald Louque. Series To Fold? If student and faculty interest in the Loyola Film Series does not show evidence of increasing, the program for this year will be discontinued after the presentation of "Grand Illusion" Sunday. At this point the series is operating at a $150 loss for the year, $15 having been taken in at the door for "Aparajito" and only $3 for "Vitelloni."If Loyolans don't want to attend the series, it will be cancelled because the loss must be endured by the Thirty club treasury. LU Outlook Set For Wed. "Youth Speaks Up" will be the title of the second program in the 1963 Loyola Outlook series on WWL TV, Channel 4, Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Rev. Thomas H. Clancy, S.J., instructor in history and political science, will host the program's discussion of current events on the national and international level. Student participants will be Doris Gibson, A&S senior; Linda Musmeci, law freshman and three members of Alpha Sigma Nu, national Jesuit scholastic society. Members of ASN are William Caldwell, law sophomore; Donald Jansen, law senior and Eric Timmreck, A&S junior. Other topics for discussion will include the concept of the presidency in its relationship to technological change, and discussion of different groups in our society which are drifting apart due to educational backgrounds. The next program will be devoted to a film and a live presentation of the physics department's in-service teacher institute. SC Favors Student Poll On Honor System Proposal A recommendation to take a poll among students to evaluate their reactions to an honor system at Loyola, was brought before the Student Council Tuesday by Gerry Rault, chairman of the honor system investigating committee. The motion voted on by the Council, passed and the poll will be held as soon as possible. Should two-thirds of the students approve the system, the referendum would indicate that the students would support such a system. If they do not support it, their dissent would show that .should such a system be put into effect, it probably would fail. A system of reporting any cheating in the school brought before the Council by the committee read as follows: "All students will agree not to cheat themselves and to report any student whom they see cheating. A small box will be placed in a conspicuous place on the first floor of Marquattc hall. Into this box any student can place a form slip reporting another student for cheating. He must sign his name. The accusing student then comes before Judicial Court to explain the circumstances."• OBJECTIONS "It is then the perogative of the Court to notify the accused students' teachers of any reports, as a warning of possible repetitions. The accused never knows that he has been reported, or by whom. The Judicial Court should emphasize the fact that it is merely a report from another student and therefore, may or may not be valid." Objections were raised by Don Jansen, law senior, on grounds that the proposed system was nothing more than an elaboration of the present system. "It has none of the advantages of a real honor system—but all of the disadvantages of the current honor systems used in the universities that use one," he said. According to Jansen, in the present system, the student reports to the professor directly, if at all. The proposed system requires the student to go first to the Court before the teacher is notified. If a student will report on his classmates in the proposed system, it is very likely that he will report to the teacher now! Rault defended his plan as an introduction to the real type of honor system and a start to a more collegiate type of life. The motion to have such a system failed to pass Council approval.• STOP SIGN The parking committee reported that a stop sign will be put up next week on the corner of Loyola and Calhoun street. In answer to a letter sent to him by the parking committee, Mayor Victor H. Schiro said that nothing definiteGet Your Spirit Up, You May Win Plaque If you're a champion of school spirit, then you will get an opportunity to prove same at the Varsity-Frosh game next Saturday night in the fieldhouse. In order to stimulate you fellow Loyolans to action, I, Joe Lobo, will give a plaque to the group which does the most (spirit-wise, and not from the bottle) at said contest in the fieldhouse. So, get your group together—fraternity, sorority, or a combination of both, or get a bunch of the boys from the gossip, oops, barber shop, or from the cafeteria and come on all to make some nise. You can take sides in this battle. Root for the Frosh or root for the Varsity—or root for Me—l'll be there. So will my partner, Miss Wolf. Come on out and see us. (Editor,* Note—Plaque will be presented by The Maroon to the group exhibiting bed nchool spirit at the game. Plaque will be presented sometime during late March.) (See SC POLL, page 2) . . .
