              The Loyola Maroon Tlxe Voice of Loyola, since 1923 41st Year Vol. XLI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, September 25, 1964 No. 1 Dean Outlines Four Virtues Key And Seal "It is impossible to mature in isolation," said Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences the Rev. Edward A. Doyle, S.J., in addressing freshmen and senior women at the annual Key and Seal ceremony recently. The importance of Christian education in modern society cannot be overstressed, he said, and the educated Catholic woman has an influential role in that society. But assuming her role, she must crown her Christian education with the four cardinal virtues, prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. "MUCH IS given to the Catholic woman; also much is demanded," said Father Doyle. Prudence is that virtue by which a person chooses the true objectives in life and the correct means of pursuing them, he said. In fulfilling its objectives as a Catholic university, Loyola hopes to provide the moral, physical and educational means to these objectives, Father said. But because a woman cannot mature in isolation, she must learn to live in the world where others have certain rights and duties, and she must learn to respect these rights. "This is justice," he said. God must be acknowledged as the Supreme Being. Just as God must be acknowledged as the Creator, so must all men be acknowledged as His creatures. IN PURSUING one's true objectives, a woman must practice the virtue of fortitude; she must have the courage to say "Yes" when others want her to say "No," said Father. "Fortitude is a commitment to uphold our ideas and ideals in even in the face of scorn." In practicing the virtue of temperance, a woman uses all of God's creations in the way He intends them to be used. She realizes that there are times to work and to relax. FATHER TOLD the freshmen and senior women that society expects more of them because they are Catholic women receiving the benefits of a Catholic education. To impress Loyola women with their influential role in society, Cardinal Key, national honor society, conducts the Key and Seal ceremony the beginning of each academic year in Holy Name of Jesus church. Loyola seals are presented to each senior and keys to each freshman. FATHER DOYLE HET ! LOOK ME OVER Arts and sciences freshmen Mary Elizabeth Caire and Armando Chapelli compare notes on the 'ordeals' of their first week at college. Chapelli, a political science major from Miami, came to Loyola because of its reputation as a Jesuit university and his interest in working on The Wolf yearbook which he had seen while in high school. Mary, who is planning on a nursing career, is from New Orleans and is enrolled in Loyola's nursing program conducted at Hotel Dieu. This year's enrollment of approximately 600 first year students brings the total enrollment of the colleges of arts and sciences, business administration and music to almost 1,500 full-time students.

Three years of experience and knowledge are behind BA senior, Martha Behrens as she greets A&S freshman, Kenneth Aldinger, who has days of trials and tribulations ahead. Students Urged To Face Catholic Scholasticism Priest Outlines Challenge The Rev. J. Emile Pfister, S.J., chairman of the Theology department, told students to face the challenge of Catholicscholasticism with truth the only limit. Father Pfister, speaking at the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit at Holy Name church Monday, told faculty and students to guard against proneness arising from "mistaken and misplaced understanding of the philosophy and religion that we profess." "Yours is the opportunity and the challenge of being a Catholic and a Scholar. To flinch in the face of challenge is unworthy of you; to refuse to accept it is to betray the goals and the ideals of our University," he said. He warned students of two pitfalls the scholar must overcome, excessive docility and "misplaced timidity" that stem from a failure to seek or rediscover the truth. "The truth—whether it be the truth as revealed to us by God or the truth as reasoned to by man—is the only limit set upon our thinking and upon our scholarly research," Father said. Rev. E. P. Hecker, S.J., university chaplain, celebrated the Mass, which marked the official start of the academic year. Seniors, wearing caps and gowns, and freshmen attended the Mass. The Mass is offered each September to invoke the assistance of the Holy Spirit for the coming school teuton. IfiHll,1! Frosh, Beware Hell Week In President of Arts and Sciences, Mike Wittman, announced Tuesday night the St dent Council's preparations lot Loyola's annual Hell Weeic. Noon today marks the official opening for freshmen boys • ith a meeting in Marquette auditorium. The meeting for freshmen co-eds is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. The purpose of these meetings is still a closely guarded secret. WITTMAN stressed the importance of the theory behind Hell Week—thp idea of incorporating meaning into this longstanding tradition. Hell Week has as its purpose that of making the freshmen realize that the upperclassmen are where they are because they have earned that right. The upperclassmen have achieved something that they, as Freshmen, have yet to realize. "Introduction to college begins with Orientation and ends with initiation, by which you, the class of 1968, will start your climb toward graduation," Wittman concluded. Planned activities for Hell Week include Kangaroo Court which will be held Wednesday and Friday at noon on the library steps. Though Hell Week officially ends Friday afternoon at 4:00 with a compulsory freshmen class meeting, the festivities of Hell Week end with the inter-fraternity sponsored Jambalaya songfest. BOYS ARE required to wear: beanie, name tag, suspenders, white shirt and bow tie.
