UBL Takes Talent First By MIKE IMPARATO Castaign, Folk singers—Blue Key Winners Performances of Sid Castaign, The Folksingers, and the ÜBL social fraternity all won first place awards in the 27th Annual Blue Key Talent Nite, Tuesday in the fieldhouse. After the presentation of Miss Tekla Bassham as Homecoming Queen and her court for 1964, the program of singers, musici-  ans, actors and comedians got under way. It was not until after the final song of the guest singer, Miss Jo Ann Soab, last year's winner, that decision of the judges was known. Sid Castaign's popular selection on the electric guitar won him the coveted first place award in individual competition.THE FOLKSINGERS copped the first place award in the group competition with their arrangement of an old fairy tale set to folk music, "Winken, Blinken and Nod." Along with the female vocalist, Susan Cottage, were, Floyd Logan, Jimmy Delhome, A. C. Boyd, Wally Cowan, and Bill Krummel. More on the humorous side were the brothers of ÜBL fraternity with their take off on a broadway musical, "My Pharoah Lady." During their skit, the elaborate scenery seemed to fall apart, but it was only a huge cardboard pyramid opening up to reveal a minor skit. This was their third consecutive Talent Nite win. THE INDIVIDUAL runner up award went to John Berthelot for his mood and jazz music on the clarinet, and Palmer larrell and Jeanette Theriot tied for third place. In the group competition the second place winners were the Wassailing Singers, comprised of Dick Groff, Sue Breaud, and Mike Federal. Their folk compositions of "The Times They are A'Changin'," and "To Be Redeemed," were followed by the third place winners, the Dixieland Band, made up of John Berthelot, Matt Lanius, Ben Smith, Bob Smith, Jimmy Breaux, Dave Gunther and Den Le- Blanc.

Andrew Smith, S.J., Loyola president, U. S. Rep. Hale Boggs, and Mayor Victor H. Schiro were the speakers at the ceremonies dedicating three new buildings on campus Sunday. Archbishop Cody stressed the prime importance of education in society today. "Only through education will civilization be saved. We in New Orleans have been building for the future; and we must build on the basis of education," he said. Father Smith recalled "a rainy spring day, May 16, 1962, when I held a trembling and leaky umbrella over Archbishop Cody's head and apologized for the barking of the Tulane dogs, as he graciously turned the first spade for this project." "AND NOW," Father Smith added, "two and a half years and three Ecumenical sessions later, our much traveled Good Shepherd has returned to give the blessings of the Church to the Rev. Albert H. Biever residence hall, the Brother John Blenke utilities building and the Dr. Joseph A. Danna center."Biever hall was named for Loyola's founder and first president, the Rev. Albert H. Biever, S.J. It provides housing for 400 male students, four priest-chaplains and the housing director, and is airconditioned and equipped with two elevators. The central plant, dedicated to the memory of Brother John Blenke, S.J., has been designed to provide air-conditioning and heating to all permanent buildings eventually. Danna center, in honor of Dr. Joseph A. Danna, an "exemplary philanthropist, a man of science and a distinguished doctor who led the Loyola Military Unit to his native Italy in World War I," said Father Smith. CONGRESSMAN Boggs mentioned Father Smith's note requesting him not to speak more than three minutes as a "timely admonition." He said that the last congressional session has passed more constructive educational bills than any Formal Dedication... Archbishop John Patrick Cody proceeds from Danna center for formal dedication of Biever hall in ceremonies Sunday. The New Orleans Archbishop was on Loyola's campus for formal dedication of the Danna center, Biever hall and the Blenke utilities building. To his right is the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., university president. SAK, TPA Decoration Winners Homcoming Color Sigma Alpha Kappa Fraternity and Theta Phi Alpha Sorority combined their talents to win the homecoming decorations award in judging held yesterday on campus. The four social sororities and fraternities teamed up in their efforts to produce the best decorations possible. SAK AND TPA produced a very large cannon being shot off by two wolves. The movablt cannon ball headed stright for the huge face of the "Breeze" backdropped by the words "Shoot the Breeze." "Down the Hurricanes" was the title of ÜBL and Tri Phi decorations. A very large Wolf was shown holding a Hurricane glass and rubbing his stomach, with a backdrop of typical Mardi Gras scenes. KBG AND BEGGARS chose as their theme title "Railroad the Hurricanes." Depicted in the decoration was a two-car locomotive whose conductor is a giant Loyola Wolf, and which moved on its tracks toward the sign expressing the theme. "Hold Back the Hurricanes" was the title of the decorations created by Tri Sigma and ADG. A Loyola Wolf stood in front of a map backdrop with the states of Louisiana and Oklahoma greatly emphasized, and held back the hurricane coming out of Oklahoma with one hand.
