              The Loyola Maroon Tlie Voice of Loyola sinoe 1323 Vol. XXXX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 4, 1963 No. 2 NSA To Make LU Comeback? By MARIA GAMBOA Will the motion calling for a student referendum on whether the university should rejoin the National Student Association and tabled until next week by the Student Council at their Tuesday meeting, remain tabled for four months as it did in 1961-62? The motion introduced by Benny Bagert, A&S junior, called for a committee of six—three for and three against NSA—to reinvestigate the organization and present their opinions to the student body. The referendum would be held during the second semester according to the motion. IN THE SPRING of 1962 the university withdrew its membership from the organization after four months of heated debate during which NSA was labeled communistic and atheistic. Then dean of students, the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., vetoed a motion to re-evaluate the university's membership in the national organization. "The National Student Association is a dangerous organization composed of atheists, agnostics, and some who would not salute the flag. NSA will not be on Loyola's campus next year," he told a student status committee at a private hearing. HENRY LAMBERT, the university's representative to the 14th NSA congress, defended the organization as being a representative body of students of all political beliefs. The extremes of both sides are represented—left and right as well as the multitude in between. In January of 1962, NSA president Ed Garbey declaimed accusations that the organization was communistic or atheistic as entirely libelous. "NSA has been attacked by extreme left wing as well as extreme right wing factions. The International Union of Students, a communistic group, has accused the NSA of being imperialistic and reactionary," he declared to the : Student Council. GARBEY POINTED OUT that in a group of 1200 students there are bound to be elements of every element in society present. At the time of his speech the organization ;: was promoting civil rights, lower insurance rates for stu- I dents and lower rates on airlines for traveling students. "Creation of college leaders, academic freedom, and i annually making 1200 people think and form opinions on f important topics plus eloquent speakers at enlightening con- ! ferences are the main achievements of NSA," Garvey said. NSA was voted on campus in March 1960 by a vote of f 22-4. At the time, it was labeled "pink-tinted" by then 1 Student Council president Bill Hammel who opposed it all I the way. CHIEF PROMOTER, BA sophomore Bill Caldwell, point- I ed out that the organization had helped many member | universities to improve their orientation programs and to | solve many campus problems. Now the NSA is again before the Student Council for J re-evaluation. Even in the preliminary stages the motion 1 was curtly treated by the Council faction and one again I tabled for further consideration. Also at the meeting last year's judicial court procedures | were accepted into the statues and procedures of the gov- I erning body. Accepted before on a year-long probationary ; period, the 11 article procedures will replace articles one I through eight of title two of the statues which deal with I procedures for trying violations. This action will give the 1 Council the power to set-up a judiciary court. The procedures added correspond with the rules used 1 last year with the exception of the minimum amount of I i fines for organizations violating the Council's datebook I rules. In place of the $20 minimum fine formerly imposed, I the limit will be left to the discretion of the judges. Money I from fines will be placed in the Council treasury to be $ used for student activities. PRIMARY ELECTIONS for the Homecoming Court will 1 be held Oct. 21-22; and run-off elections, Oct. 28-29, an- 1 nounced Mike Wittman, A&S sophomore, chairman of the ;; election committee. A four-week leadership conference to be held four weeks prior to freshman class elections was discussed by the I Council. Such a program would include talks by faculty and Council members on the philosophy of leadership, student rights and responsibilities, committee structure, and I other topics of interest to candidates running for student 1 election. Tom Sartory, A&S sophomore, announced that the Coun- I cil spent $99.10 for the Jambalaya—s9.lo more than earlier | anticipated. This additional amount was spent for a trophy. I The motion to make the welcoming committee an official organ of the Council was accepted by the governing body BEWARE' JOE LOBO IS BACK By JOE LOIO This is no time for modesty, so let's get it straight right now . . . you, o lowly ones, have once again gained the fortune of my raptorial presence, for I have returned to my beloved campus to guide you to another successful year . . . mihi cura futuri. For those of you who are pursuing my unparagoned words for the first time, I am, of course, the Infallible  One, Joe Lobo, the Spirit of Loyola: teacher, scholar, philosopher, student, critic, athlete par excellence. My virtues are many, my faults nil. Throughout the year, I shall be your guardian angel, your collegiate conscience, your ideal. And although, being as I am a Spirit, I shall never be seen, I will be your epitome of masculine pulchritude. If you follow my inerrant counsel (and you will, for you at my claims), I will make this the most soul-satisfying year of your imperfect life. I will comment on all phases of Loyola life from the faculty to the chess club, and you will agree. You will agree because you will already have submitted to my superior judgment and will. Mistakes are as foreign to my nature as perfection is to yours. You will never question my word, for only I understand you, only I know Hell Raising . . . Surrounded by treacherous upperclassmen bent on terrible torture, Eddie Hardin, A&S frosh; grins bravely as his attackers begin their assault. He valiantly tried to defend himself but lost the struggle to the powerful upperclassmen. Spirited Frosh Stage Mutiny on the Mound Upperclassmen Felled Hell Week is over, but some frosh are still wearing their band-aids—only not always in the middle of their foreheads! The murmurs of a frosh revolt, crescendoed into an uncontrollable outburst last Friday, as freshmen took revenge on upperclass harassing of the preceeding week. —  A good-natured freefor-all which vaguely resembled a brawl broke out Friday afternoon as upperclassmen, some 20 in number tried to initiate a crowd of around 250 fresh men, according to Mike Wittman, A&.S sophomore and chairman of the initiating committee.UPPERCLASS LEADER Wittman said that due to the fact that the fieldhouse could not be used for the initiation, it had to be held in the back of the university on the dirt hills. As the upperclassmen proceeded to initiate the some 25 freshmen male students that had assembled, a hoard of around 225 swarmed out from the men's residence hall, screaming a pre-arranged Anglo-Saxon battle cry. As he stepped out in front of them to stop them, Wittman said that the sky was white with the volley of eggs (His only answer was another volley of eggs.) Then everyone scattered and he was left standing alone. Jokingly he threatened, "If anyone else hits me with an egg • • •" Needless to say, that's exactly what someone did—only that someone was an upperclassman. This started what will probably be the most ironic egg fight in the university's history as freshmen helped themselves to upperclass eggs and used them on the outnumbered ranks of seniority. Wittman finally subsided them by rationalizing that if they did not go through initiation, they would miss one of college's most interesting aspects. The frosh submitted to blindfolding and were led up the hills of grime where pots of sauerkraut, eggs, mud, leaves, and red ink were awaiting.THE FROSH were assembled in squads of 10 for the uphill ritual, and as the last 30 were going through the ordeal, the massed freshmen at the bottom of the hill charged. The upperclassmen hastily beat a retreat down the opposite side of the hill, thus losing round one of "King of the Mountain." After several rounds of the game in which both sides gained victories, the crowd dispersed in the direction of the residence hall showers. Needless to note, Wittman is not eating eggs for breakfast for quite a while. He dethrowndethrown by the mass of frosh. When the eggs stopped coming, he raised his hands to subside them and was hit in the head by an egg. "FROSH, WE realize you outnumber us," he pleaded.

A "Mystery Man Auction" sponsored by LSL sorority today at noon will close the United Fund drive on the campus. The auction is one of several events sponsored throughout this past week to promote contributions to the United Fund. LSL's "Mystery Man" will remain unidentified until he is won. Serving as auctioneer will be Steve Montagnet, BA junior. Mr. Henry Asher, chairman of the United Fund drive on campus, has issued a call for more so that the UF drive will be more successful than others in recent years. He said that returns in the past few years have been very small when compared with the size of this campus and the number of people here. MEMBERS OF the faculty and staff are asked to make a special effort to contribute a bit more than in the past. Last year only 52% of the entire faculty contributed to the campus drive. "Therefore, 48% contributed nothing," he said. In 1962 the collections were even worse .Only 35% saw fit to feed the bank. "Certainly, Loyola's records of past years have not been what they should be. This is definitely not in keeping with our responsibility to the community," said Mr. Asher. "With just more willingness to give on the part of everybody the drive on campus could be a success." Other events held this week included a band concert Monday by the university band. The sororities sponsored a liquor raffle Tuesday. Members of LSL, service sorority, passed To Highest Bidder . . . Crazy mixed up kid, this Mystery Man, but after all that's part of his charm. He will be the willing slace to the highest bidder at Lambda Sigma Lambda service sorority's annual Mystery Man Auction today at noon. The loot collected from the intrigued females will go to the United Fund drive and the Mystery Man will go to whatever fate awaits him.
