              The Maroon Vol. XXIX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 8, 1963 No. 15 Loyola Student 'Murdered'; Rault Arrested In Slaying Harris 'Kicks Out,, Kault Off To 'Pokey,... Bert Harris lies gasping for breath, at left, after being knocked over a hedge by Gerry Rault during a "love triangle" fight over Angeline Novosad. Suffering from a heart attack, Harris is aided by several bewildered onlookers, while Miss Novosad goes into a state of hysteria in the background. Gerry Rault, at right, is escorted from the cafeteria in-a pair of handcuffs after a coroner's jury ruled that he is responsible for Harris' slaying. Both pictures show the realistic staging of the happenings to be presented in this year's moot court. Moot Court Homicide Arts and sciences sophomore Gerald Rault was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Loyola's cafeteria and boked with the "love triangle" murder of Albert J. Harris Jr., A&S junior. Rault's arrest followed a coroner's verdict which ruled that Harris died from a blow sustained in the chest area during a fitfht with Rault at about 1 p.m. Monday. Rault will be tried before the moot court at a date to be set by the Loyola tribunal. According to reports, both Rault and Harris had been dating Angeline Novosad, A&S junior, for some time previous to the incident, and had disagreed in public over the matter on at least one other occasion. Miss Novosad stated that she and Harris had been talking in the quadrangle when Rault approached and began an argument over her affections. Harris becamebecame angry and a shoving fight insued in which Rault struck Harris in the chest, causing him to fall over a hedge. Due to her hysterical condition, Miss Novosad was unable to give any further details of the fight. Harris was taken to the university infirmary, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by Dr. K. Wright Kimmerly, M.D., university physician. No cause of death was listed at that time. However, according to Kimmerly, the body showed signs of a struggle, and investigation into Harris' past medical records showed that he suffered from a heart condition.The three main witnesses, Richard Wegmann, Rene Peterson and Michael Simeral, said that Rault had been drinking during lunch at Philip's restaurant, and had made statements to the effect that "something would happen to Harris" if he didn't "get off my hack." However, these witnesses djffer in their views as to who started the argument and as to who began the physical contact. According to arresting officer, Ptn. Sandy Krasnoff, the warrant for Rault's arrest was issued on a charge of murder, after the coroner's verdict was reached. At the time of his arrest Rault stated: . "Harris started the whole mess. I had been dating Angeline for three or four months before he started to cut in. It's true that I had been at Philip's before it happened and I had four or five beers. But I wasn't drunk. He lunged at my throat and I thought he was trying to kill me. I refuse to make any further statement without consulting my attorney first." This year's action has set the case for the annual moot court competition between the St. Thomas More law club and the Delta Theta Phi law fraternity and is sponsored by the Loyola Bar association. The crux of the case will revolve around Rault's plea, which could be either self defense, second degree murder, or manslaughter, depending on the state of mind and consciousness at the time which the murder was committed.Prosecuting attorneys, George Piazza and Philip St. Pee, have requested all persons, especially eyewitnesses, who have any information about the crime to contact them at the law school or leave their names, addresses and phone numbers at the reception desk of the building.

Sixty thousand dollars and 33 per cent of the alumni contributing are the goals of the 1963 alumni fund drive. Discussing plans for the forthcoming drive are from left to right, Judge Robert Ains- Going to college is growing even more important to every American, and Loyola is a vital part in this growth. This was the view of Loyola's president, the Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., in his address at the annual Alumni Giving Fund kickoff dinner Sunday night in the cafeteria. Father Smith said that the need for campus expansion and competitive salaries to attract teachers are the two main reasons why universities need outside financial support. "Competition for teachers is becoming a real selling market," he said. "We at Loyola are very fortunate in having dedicated teachers who sacrifice themselves, but the dedicated teacher breed is dying out." • NEW BUILDINGS "The new buildings going up presently on campus do not answer all our needs. They are sufficient for the present, but more will be needed in the future if we are to progress." He said that if these costs were to be met, the financial assistance necessary would have to come from the alumni. "The men's dormitory is approximatelyapproximately 45 per cent completed, the student center 28 per cent finished and the heating an 3 cooling plant is nearly ready for operation," he said. • TURNING POINT "But these buildings also represent a turning point in the concept of Loyola. They are a symbol of progress," he said. Chairman of the alumni giving drive for 1963, James J. Kenny, predicted that this drive will be the greatest in the history of the school and announced the goal for this year is $60,000, with at least 33 per cent of the alumni contributing."The drive is important because Loyola, as a private university, has a deficit in the budget every year," he said. "Tuition by the students is not enough to defray the expenses of a private institution. • NOT ENOUGH "The radio and television station doesn't cover enough, so the balance must come from outside sources—the alumni." He added that this total will cover Loyola—standing still—but doesn't take care of expansion, new buildings and the population explosion due to hit universities worth, the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of Loyola, and James J. Kenny, chairman of the drive. The drive began Sunday night at a dinner in the cafe. within the next 10 years. • FR. BUTT This year's drive is dedicated to the Rev. Joseph A. Butt, S.J., moderator of the Alumni Association, who is celebrating his Golden Jubilee as a Jesuit. Father Butt, who was to be the guest of honor at the banquet was unable to attend because he suffered minor laceration in a fall Sunday.Clayton Charbonnet, chairman of the giving fund last year, announced the beginning of a Century Club to further the contributions to the school. The club will consist of one hundred men who will contribute $100 each. "We already have enough interested parties to form two century clubs," he said. Federal District Judge Robert A. Ainsworth Jr. was toastmaster. RATTO TO SPEAK Dr. Peter A. Ratto, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, will speak at the Southeast Hospital Pharmacy society's annual convention held in New Orleans beginning March 21. Dr. Ratto will discuss "Diuretic Agents." Aquinas Day Lecture Sun. The tenth annual Aquinas Day philosophy club lecture to be given Sunday at 8 p.m. in Holy Name of Jesus auditorium, will feature the Rev. William J. Kenealy, S.J., speaking on "Religion, Government, and Education."Father Kenealy, visiting professor of constitutional law at Loyola of Chicago, will discuss the constitutionality of aid to education by the federal government with special emphasis on the constitutionality of aid to children in private religious schools. He will contend that the general welfare, the equal treatment of children and parental freedom would be better served by improving the education of all, including private religious schools. His opponents base their objection of the Supreme Court's current interpretation of the "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment. Father Kenealy, a specialist in the field of constitutional law, received his A.B. and M.A. degrees from Boston college; his LL.B. and Ph.D. in philosophy from Georgetown university. The lecture is open to the public and admission is free. FATHER KENEALY New APO Film Stars Tracy "Bad Day at Black Rock" next film in the APO series, will be shown tonight at 8 p.m. in Marquette auditorium. Accompanied by a 30-minute Roadrunner feature, the film stars Spencer Tracy in the role that won him an Academy Award nomination in 1954. Cast in the mid-west after the close of World War 11, it shows the prejudice of a small town. Tracy, a stranger, comes to find the father of an army buddy. It seems that prejudice is not the only skeleton in the town's closet. As the film progresses Tracy comes to grip wtih the resentment and violence unleased by the overwhelming guilt of a biased and hating community. It is a difficult role to portray, but Tracy masters it with the skill of a veteran actor and comes out unscarred both in the film and as an actor. Also starring Robert Ryan, Walter Brennan and Anne Francis, the film is shown in technicolor and cinemascope. Admission is 50 cents.
