Maroon

              The Loyola Maroon 41st Year Vol. XLI Tli.e Voice of Loyola since 1923 Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 30, 1964 No. 6 Demo, Film Stars Vie For Audience In Four Years Commies Gain Held—Boggs By MERRY MURDOCH Hale Boggs, U. S. Congressman, told Loyola students in the Danna center lobby Monday, that the Communists have been prevented from gaining one inch of territory anywhere in the world in the past four years. Campaigning for reelection in the 2nd Congressional District, Boggs stressed three points: the U. S. has progressed in the past four years; it has become the strongest country on earth; and it has protected the freedom of its citizens and the freedom of the world. Boggs, who received an honorary law degree from Loyola's law school, impressed upon students that our greatest freedom is the vote, for this will choose the course that this nation will take in the years ahead. He encouraged Loyola students to vote, and to get others to do the same. "Our economy iD in it* 44th month of unbroken advance and it is still moving strongly upw a r d," said Boggs. Adding to this statement, Boggs spoke on the increase in personal income, the creation of four million new jobs, the rise in output, and the newly achieved price stability. The economy has suffered from 1953 to 1960, he noted, but the new firm upward trend of the present has happened as a result of two major tax bills, with the result that taxpayers will pay 20 per cent less to the 49 Vote Difference HALE BOGGS Actors Group Stages Show, Boosts Barry By JOAN TREADWAY A group of celebrities campaigning for Barry Goldwater entertained at the Danna center's plaza Monday and drew a crowd of students who cheered the pro-Republican remarks as well as their display of showmanship.These movie stars and other big names were in New Orleans in conjunction with Representative William Miller's Louisiana campaigning. They are in the midst of cr os s-country barn-storming for the Republican presidential running team. They were sponsored here by the Conservative club. IN THE DANNA center's plaza, actor James Drury, better known as "The Virginian," served as MC and opened the program with a speech of his own which emphasized his belief that Goldwater would keep both the U.S. Constitution and the American form of government intact if he is elected. Drury sealed the pauses between speakers and showmen with pro-Goldwater comments and anti-Johnson quips. One of the earliest speakers, actress Patti Priest, daughter of Ivy Baker Priest, U.S. Treasurer in the Eisenhower administration, pointed out what she considered the VIRGINIA GREY Mock Election Gives Goldwater Win Secret Ballot (?) Barry Goldwater edged Lyndon Johnson 381-332 in the faculty-stud en t mock election, held last Monday and Tuesday on campus, according to Larry Daves, BA sophomore, chairman of the Elections committee of the Student Council. Hale Boggs defeated his Republican opponent, Dave Treen, 364-346 for the second congressional seat. In keeping with the election aura, Boggs and the Circus of Stars for Goldwater-Treen gave a politicking air with their noon time visits on Monday. If The Maroon poll is any evidence, it seems as if the speculation on the validity of polls for predicting elections has been substantiated. Last week The Maroon poll showed Goldwater leading Johnson by a small margin in the five colleges.Nation-wide pollsters, such as Gallup and Roper, give President Johnson a strong lead over Sen. Goldwater. There were two write-ins on the ballot — George Wallace and Richard Nixon. It well may be, but in mock elections everyone is curious to find out "who's for whom." Loyola students maintained party neutrality by splitting the ticket. Had this been a real election, Barry and Boggs would be on their way to Washington together. LU Defeats Emerson For 2nd Bowl Victory By SHERYL BUTLER "This time, everything about the trip and the game was different," said Tom Sartory, A&S junior, and team captain of Loyola's twice champion College Bowl squad. "We were better acquainted with the procedures of the game . . . and much more confident of ourselves." Alert and well-composed, with only 15 seconds remaining, Loyola took a 20 point bonus question and a trip back to New York for a third try. The team, which brought home another $1500 scholarship grant, will meet Alma college of Alma, Mich., Sunday at 4:30 p.m. over NBC, Channel 6. LOYOLA TRAILED by ten points at the half time, and Emerson appeared to be the winner as they led by 15 points with 15 seconds to play. Then, Walter Sagrera, A&S junior, nabbed a 20 point bonus question, by correctly naming Dante's only political work, "De Monarchia," to give Loyola the win. Robert Earle, emcee, summed up the game with, "Weren't they something!" Dr. Joseph R. Berrigan, team coach, Sartory, Carmella Tardo, A&S senior, John Fitzmorris, A&S senior and Sagrera all agreed that Emerson was much more congenial than the team they had beaten previously from Arizona State. The Emerson team, comprised of Mary Jane Shields, James Allen, Donald Huppert and Judith Klinger, all English majors and juniors, except Allen, a social science major, first came in contact with Loyola on Sunday at the practice sessions before the game. The first practice session scared the daylights out of me," said Sartory, "because it showed how fast and tough Emerson was. However, we won the last two practice sessions and made a good showing." Dr. Berrigan had a premonition that something was going to happen. "I never doubted for one moment that we would win; but I knew that something was going to happen because we were doing so well in the practice sessions." DR. BERRIGAN said he has noted much improvement in the team's reactions since last week. "They are much faster on the buzzers and more confident in themselves." The team made a tremendous showing over a team that was Victorious Again... Loyola's College Bowl team came out on top again last week nudging out Emerson College, 275-270. The game was fast and un-nerving from start to finish with Emerson leading by 15 points with only 15 seconds left on the clock. Sunday they come up against Alma college of Michigan, and team coach. Dr. Joseph R. Berrigan, is confident of a certain win. "After last week, we can handle anything," he said. Theology Requisites Changed As a result of the university's self-study program the theology requirements and curriculum have been revised and will be effective starting next fall, announced the Rev. J. Emile Pfister, S.J., chairman of the theology department. In place of the 16 semester hours required (8 semesters, 2 hours each), theology requirements will be IB semester hours, (5 semesters, 3 hours each). These five semesters will be composed of nine hours of "required core courses" and six hours elective. Required courses which can be taken either fall or spring semesters are: "An Introduction to Sacred Scripture," freshman year; "Fundamental Theology," sophomore year; and "The Trinitarian Life, Grace, and the Sacraments," junior year. WITH THE beginning of the second semester of the junior year, a student can schedule his two elective courses. Father Pfister pointed out advantages of the new curriculum hinged on the fact that the three hour courses would raise the academic standing to the dignity which theology should have at a Catholic university."The hope for psychological advantayi' of the new theology curriculum which will be introduced in the experimental stage is the awakening of a greater interest in theology on the part of students as well as a demand for greater stimulation on the part of the professors," he added. ELECTIVE COURSES available for 1965-66 are: "Christian Marriage," "The Theological Foundation of Ecumenical Dialogue," "The History of the Church in the Early Middle Ages," "Vatican II," "Eschat°l°{?y." "The Sacred Liturgy," "A Study of Atheism," and "A Seminar on Biblical Exegesis."Students who already began their theology courses, sophomores, juniors, or seniors, will be required to schedule theology so that their total number of hour* it •• dote to fifteen at pottible.Beginning with summer 1965, there will be a regular offering of theology courses during the university's summer session for the first time. THESE SUMMER sessions will be scheduled in conjunction with the college of music and their summer offerings on sacred liturgy. Father Pfister said that the administration of the university and members of the theology department have unanimously approved this experimental program and it is earnestly hoped that it will be welcomed by the students with an equal amount of enthusiasm.Court Voting Starts Monday Nominations for Campus Court will be held Monday and Tuesday in the Danna center entrance. The 12 nominees with the highest number of points will compete for positions on the court in run-off elections November 9 and 10. Nominees for the court must be unmarried coeds from either the sophomore, junior, or senior class. Only juniors and seniors are eligible for election as campus queen. A student may nominate six girls for the court. From these nominees, 12 with the most amount of points will be selected for the final election. Their pictures will be displayed in the quadrangle. This is the only form of campaigning that will be allowed. The nominees will be evaluated on a point system. Ten points will be given for the nominee placed first on the student's ballot, and so on until the fifth and sixth positions are tabulated. To cast a ballot, a student must present his or her identification card and hand in a completely filled ballot. Ballots only partially filled out will be invalidated. Because of the point system, the student should list the six nominees in the order of preference. The campus court will be composed of a queen and six maids, one of whom will represent the evening division. They will reign over Homecoming Week, Blue Key Talent Nite, and various other university functions. United Fund Scores New High The 1964 United Fund drive on campus has been completed and the $298 collected is a new high for Loyola, exceeding last year's total of $222, according to Bob Perez, student director of the drive. Perez noted that the $51.50 returned from the "Mystery Man" contest conducted by Lambda Sigma Lambda service sorority more than doubled the amount netted in last year's contest. "The same figure of $51.50 was collected by the Sodality," said Perez, "and they are to be commended for their efforts."The $160 collected in the collections taken up in the theology classes also represented a new high. Fraternities, sororities, and the band concertconcert presented an additional $35. The drive will continue for the remainder of the month for staff and faculty members, under the direction of Lt. Col. Robert Sabolyk, faculty director.Dumatrait Elected Hygienist Head Charolette Dumatrait, dental hygiene freshman, has been elected president of the dental hygiene freshman class announced Miss Beverly Bonebreak, supervisor of dental hygiene.
