              The Loyola Maroon Tlie "Voice of Loyola, sinoe 1323 41 st. Year No. 5 Vol. XLI Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 23, 1964 Maroon Goes LBJ The Maroon throws its wholehearted support to Lyndon Baines Johnson in the upcoming presidential election. We see Johnson as an even-tempered, honest and wellexperienced politician in sharp contrast to the raving, whatshall-my-policies-be-this-week type of politico that Barry Goldwtter has shown himself to be. Johnson has kept the country on an even keel since the shocking death of John F. Kennedy, and has been able to work on closer and more beneficial terms with both senators and congressmen than Kennedy would have ever hoped possible. On the other hand, if Goldwater were to win the presidential scat he would most probably be bucking a pro- Democrat Congress which would most certainly lead to a four-year period of stagnation. Or, if the Arizona senator has his way, the country might find itself fighting not only stagnation but also radiation for the next four years. Johnson's wide-range plans to aid both labor and the poor rate a gold star in our book, while Goldwater's antilabor outlook is made obvious by the 53 times he turned thumbs down on the workingman in roll-call votes in the Senate. We see no other choice—Lyndon Johnson must be our next president. Goldwater Slides Past Johnson In Campus Poll Barry Goldwater pulled a five per cent lead over his opponent, Lyndon Johnson, according to findings of a Maroon poll this week. The spread was as great as 20 per cent in both the schools of dentistry and law and as even as an equal 43.6 per cent in arts and sciences. Over 200 Loyolans were polled, or roughly 20 per cent of the full-time students. A cross-section was taken from each of the five schools and colleges. It is reassuring to note that only 10 per cent of those polled were still undecided as to who their choice would be come Monday and Tuesday at the mock election in Danna center. Only 1.0 per cent of the juniors questioned could not select a candidate, but those still undecided in the sophomore ranks numbered 16.8 per cent. Governor George B. Wallace, staunch states-rights supporter from Alnbama, pulled .5 per cent, but he will not appear on the ballot. Goldwater carried 47 per cent of the University; Johnson, 42 per cent; Wallace, .5 per cent; neither, .5 per cent; undecided, 10 per cent. The breakdown according to colleges and schools is: • College of A&S Goldwater 43.6% Johnson —.43.6% Undecided 11.8% Neither 1% • College of BA Goldwater - 48.6% Johnson 40.0% Undecided 8.6% Wallace 2.8 % • School of Dentistry Goldwater . 66% Johnson 36% Undecided 8% • School of Law Goldwater 60% Johnson 40% Undecided None • Music Goldwater 40% Johnson 40% Undecided 20% The breakdown by classes is • Freshmen Goldwater 48.5% Johnson 39.4% Undecided 12.1% • Sophomores Goldwater 44.1% Johnson 37.3% Undecided __ 16.8% Wallace 1.8% • Juniors Goldwater 50% Johnson 40.7% Undecided 7.4% Neither 1.9% • Seniors Goldwater 46.3% Johnson 50% Undecided 3.7% FRANKS.

Faculty members and students will vote for the man of their choice in the mock presidential election Monday and Tuesday in the lobby of Danna center.

Victorious College Bowl team winners and coach arrive back to be greeted by over 200 enthusiastic supporters. The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., university president, shakes hands with Or. Berrigan as he and team alight from the plane. High hopes of attaining a similar scene this week are held by not only the team but by the whole university, as Loyola is slated against the scholars from Emerson college in Sunday's match. The program will be on NBC, Channel 6 at 4:30 p.m. Freshman Class Totals 417, Entrance Exam Scores High Again the freshman class showed an increase over the previous year's enrollment.

Prediction Proves True As LU Captures Bowl Title By BRENDA ACOSTA "Loyola will win because the Jebbies have the faith on their side," said the blonde from Arizona State university before the College Bowl game started Sunday. She was right about her prediction on the "RC's," as she called Loyola's Roman Catholic team, because ASU didn't get their long-anticipated Silver Bowl which is awarded to every five-time winner.Loyola's team won 125-115 and brought home a $1500 scholarship grant. NEXT WEEK they meet Emerson college, and Dr. Joseph Bc-rrigan, Ph.D., chairman of the history department and coach for the team, promises to "continue my general program of harassment" on team members. Dr. Berrigan, Tom Sartory, A&S junior and team captain, Carmetla Tardo, A&S senior, John Fitzmorris, A&S senior, and Walter Sagrera, A&S junior, arrived in New York quite the underdogs, said Sartory. Their first encounter with the opposition (at a distance) was while in the NBC station coffee-shop. Confident ASU'ers walked in dragging a telegram with 12,000 signatures on it, "and they sat down and read it out loud," said Sartory. SUNDAY was spent in practice sessions. Before the final meet began, ASU members received a "well-wishing" telegram from Senator Barry Goldwater, Republican presidential nominee, but as the game would have it, Loyola came through victoriously. Loyola got "congratulatory" telegrams from the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., university president, Mayor Victor H. Schiro, Councilman James Fitzmorris, Alumni association, and from many convents across the United States with promises of prayers for another success. "I felt absolutely exultant when they won," said Dr. Berrigan after the victory. "With every member of our team working together as they did against Arizona State, we're going to trounce Emerson college Sunday." Sartory, feeling more mangled than victorious, wished he could "have been sitting in the Student center looking at television at that moment," and Carmella Tardo "hadn't actually planned on losing." FITZMORRIS, not being a pessimist, "didn't realize we had gone ahead until the next to the last question, and when / n n/\T r T-* y-i n n/\itrT «■» v Demonstration Set Tuesday A lecture-demonstration on the classical guitar will be presented Tuesday, by Mr. Paul Guma of the college of music, faculty. Mr. Guma will appear at the music workshop class which meets in the recital hall of the college of music each Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. The public is invited to this and to all classes of the music workshop. The music workshop consists of lectures, demonstrations and performances by guest specialists in different fields of music, as well as lectures and recitals by faculty members and students. Mr. Guma's lecture will disclose the little-known possibilities of the much maligned guitar, and will show that many years ago the guitar attained a dignity of which even some musicians are ignorant. In the hands of a trained and skilled performer, the guitar is capable of rendering masterworks and it takes its place among the instruments of highest calibre. Central American Students Welcomed By Father Smith Ety-five young men and three women from Cenlerica and Panama were welcomed to the campus as the first of a series of seminars on community and national development got under way. The seminar is one of six to be conducted by Loyola's Inter-American center under an Alliance for Progress contract with the U. S. Agency for International Development,The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president, welcoming: the visitors, described them as ambassadors for their respective countries. He said, "An ambassador must do more than represent his country abroad. He must learn from the country he visits in order to improve his own country." Father said this exchange of knowledge is the purpose of the Inter-American Center. Mrs. Lindy Boggs, wife of Congressman Hale Boggs, represented her husband who was called suddenly to Washington for a conference of Congressional leaders. "You may bring something back to your countries, but we also know you will enrich our live 3 while you are here," she said. "I hope your most valuable experience will be your visits in American homes. Here you will find the fruits of all our traditional idealism. I hope you go home liking all of us." Each six-week program will include classwork, tours of the city and local industries and visits to private homes. Participants in the first group have come from Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.THEY ARE all in credit union and cooperative movements. The second group will be composed of normal school teachers and administrators. There will also be labor leaders, leaders of rural movements, university students, and leaders of national movements.
