              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 15, 1965 No. 2 Leadership The Issue; Not Betsy—Fitzmorris By FRANK PETERSON Mayoralty candidate James Fitzmorris charged incumbent Victor Schiro with trying to make an issue of Hurricane Betsy and said lack of leadership in the mayor's office was the real issue. Fitzmorris, speaking in the student lounge Monday, said the real issue was not as Mayor Schiro would like it to appear. Schiro's trips to Washington regarding loan "forgiveness" for Betsy victims was a task any responsible official "would recognize as the job of a national level." He said any responsible official would do what he could to assist the storm victims. A lack of leadership and planning was the reason for the disaster, Fitzmorris said. "You don't start planning for a disaster the afternoon it happens," he said. Fitzmorris was speaking on campus at the request of the current events committee of the Student Union. Appearing with Fitzmorris were his campaign manager, Michael O'Keefe, now a Louisiana State senator; and Moon Landrieu, a candidate for city councilman-at-large, who is on the Fitzmorris ticket. The council president said in 19G2 the Orleans Levee Board sought a flood protection plan for lower areas of New Orleans and Schiro, as mayor, a member of the board, called the idea a "bugaboo." Fitzmorris explained Schiro's remark as meaning an imaginary threat. "You've got to have planning," Fitzmorris said. "I know we didn't have planning when Betsy struck." He said planning must be done now so that the city will be prepared in the event of another disaster. He pledged establishment of an office of director of emergency planning to develop a master plan for the city "so we will know where we are going." Leadership in the mayor's office, he said, "has been sadly lacking the past five years." He singled out the late de- Lesseps S. Morrison, former mayor and ambassador to the Organization of American States, as being a true leader. "We always knew where he stood," Fitzmorris said. Fitzmorris, who has spent 12 years in the city council first at a district councilman, then as councilman-at-large, charged his opponent with showing lack of leadership in the squabble over location of the Gulf South Research Institute.Fitzmorris said that he would have told other cities fighting for the location that there is no finer place for the institute and that "this is where it's supposed to In" He said lie was also dedicated to developing the Lake Pontcharti ain area as a major recreational spot. He said he would meet with heads of the six parishes which front the lake and work with them to make " 'Six Flags over Texas' look like a Sunday school picnic." As for his reasons for seeking the post of mayor, Fitzmorris said city government is big business and has to be run as such. He said he selected businessmen to run for the jobs because of their experience. "We're running for these jobs because we're thinking that these jobs have to be done." Fitzmorris, a former student in Loyola's evening division, ended his speech with a plea for Loyolans to get on "my team." Fitzmorris then opened the floor to questions from the students.When asked, "What are your plans concerning the D.A.'s offlee?"Fitzmorris Interviewed In an interview for the Maroon following his speech, Mr. Fitzmorris answered the following questions: Question: What plans in your platform would appeal most to college students in the New Orleans area? Answer: "My plans for industrial development in the New Orleans area which would naturally result in more and better job opportunities for college graduates." Question: A recent poll conducted by a independent research firm .showed that you held a slight lead over your opponent and that 28 per cent of the voters are undecided as to their preference in the mayor's race. First, do you believe in the accuracy of this poll and, second, why do you think such a significant per cent of the voters arc undecided? Answer: "Yes, I do believe in the accuracy of political polls and I think that hurricane Betsy has taken many peoples' minds off the election."Question: Have you decided on the men you will appoint to head the various departments in your administration, if elected? Answer: "Not at this time. My first concern is to be elected. But I will say that the most qualified people will be appointed." Eminent Prelate Named Archbishop Of N.O. By GEOFFREY BROWN The Most Rev. Philip M. Hannan became Archbishop of New Orleans Wed. afternoon amid color and pomp in St. Louis Basilica. Archbishop Effidio Vagnozzi, apostolic delegate in the United States, officiated at the installation. The installation was followed by Archbishop Hannan's first sermon to his new flock and a Mass concelebrated by Archbishops Vagnossi, Hannan, Cody, Auxiliary Bishop Perry, and five other prelates. Loyola was represented at the cermony hy a delegation of Jesuit administrative dignitaries headed by the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of the university. The basilica, decorated with Papal and American flairs, was not quite filled when the ceremony began. Outside the church four lonely racist pickets paraded back and forth in front of the ranks of plumed knights waiting to start the procession. The picketers. one of whom claimed to represent the Parents and Friends of Catholic Children, carried si| with slogans smh as "Never" an (1 "Segregation is God's Law." The procession finally KD't un d e r w a y several minutes late. The knights of various Catholic Orders entered the basilica and lined the center aisle to form B corridor of honor for the clergy. They were followed hy several representatives of the separated hreth- Next came a lonp line of clergy in surplices, then purple-robed monsitfnori followed by the participating bishops. Finally Archbishop-elect Hannan entered the church beneath the drawn swo r d s of the knights and surrounded by his attendants. After all were in their places and Hishop Hannan was seated in a chair beside the alt a r, the Very Rev. Nicholas Tanaakovic, o. M. 1., pastor of the basilica, led the congregation in p ray ■ r for their new shepherd. Following the prayer the apostolic- delegate, Egidio Vagnozzi entered from the rear of the church amid a flourish of trumpets, and proceeded through the ranks of knights to the sanctuary where he was given the chair of authority. Mtgr. Charlei J. I'lauche. chancellor of the archdiocese, then read the Papal Bull of appointment in English. When he finished, the apostolic delegate and the pastor of the basilica led the new archbishop to the chair of authority where he was presented with a crosier, his symbol of authority. After blessing the congregation, the archbishop sat to receive the reverence of the clergy who came forward one by one. He then preached his first sermon to his new flock. In it he promised to continue the program! bejrun by Archbishop Cody; he welcomed the newly appointed Auxiliary Bishop Harold R. Perry, S. V. D.; he emphasized the need for universal love among men, the theme he touched on when he arrived in the city Tuesday; and he welcomed the n on-Catholic representatives.

PHILIP HANNAN Mayor Candidate James Fitzmorris, candidate for mayor of New Orleans, addresses Loyola student body on issues and questions of his platform for office and requests Loyolans to get on his team. Fitzmorris, former evening division student at Loyola, enumerated his qualities for leadership and offered solutions to several problems of the city. Freshman Class Ranks Largest In LU History A record 433 freshmen have been registered for the 1965-66 school year representing a six per cent increase over last year, announced Mr. Kenneth J. Byrne, director of admissions. The lack of dormitory accomodations has been most influential in determining  the size and quality of this year's freshman class. "Although some high-caliber outof-town students had to be denied entrance because of this," said Mr. Byrne, "the office of admissions was able to be highly selective in admitting freshmen students, selecting only the most qualified." Mr. Byrne further stated that "a freshman's qualification is determined by his score on the College board entrance examination, his position in his high school graduating class, and personal references." The department of admissions has not as yet compiled its official profile of Loyola's freshman class this year but certain facts are available. Among them: freshman enrollment in the college of music has increased more than 100 per cent over last year; there has been an increase of 25 per cent among transfer students now at Loyola; approximately 50 per cent of Loyola's freshmen are out-of-towners who come to Loyola from more than 25 different states and several foreign countries. Campus Capers, Mystery Man To Lead Off United Fund Drive Kickoff Monday The annual campus United Fund drive kick-off will take place Monday, and the Campus Capers, the university ba nd will lead off the campaign with a concert at noon in the main lounge of Danna center. Contributions will be solicited during the conceit. Direction of the student campaign, which will last through Friday is being handled by Alpha Pi Omicron and Lambda Sigma Lambda service organizations. The largest share of the drive's proceeds is to go to the Red Cross to aid hurricane relief in the Greater New Orleans area. ALL DAY Monday and Tuesday teams of APO men and LSL women will interrupt theology classes to collect for the fund. On Wednesday LSL will hold its customary "Mystery Man" fuction at noon in Danna center. All money bid will go to the United Fund. In contrast to such student razzle-dazzle, a quieter campaign to solicit pledges from the faculty will be carried on at the same time, according to the chairman of the campus drive, Mr. John B. Quigley, assistant ' director of public relations for the university. So far no specific goal has been announced. Last year a total of $1,382 was collected. University president, the Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., has issued the following statement urging Loyolans to support the drive: The United Fund drive this year provides an opportunity for Loyolans to help those who need help most. Hurricane Betsy provided us all with a reminder that no one is exempt from natural disasters. The Red Cross, a United Fund agency, will have spent more money in New Orleans during the last four months of 1965 than the city has contributed to it during the past 25 years. I hope the students, faculty, and staff of Loyola will join in this worthwhile effort. The 19G6 United Fund campaign began throughout the Greater New Orleans area on Sept. 25 and has a deadline of Oct. 22. This year's target is $3,873,000. Earlier this week the total collected was lagging more than 20 per cent behind the pace set lust year when 80.8 per cent of the goal had been pledged at the midway point of the drive. THE UNITED Fund is a cooperative organization composed of sixty volunteer health, welfare and character building agencies serving Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany parishes. Associated Catholic charities and ten other Catholic groups anmembers of the Fund. Catholic backing for the fund drive was urged in a statement issued by the Most Kev. L Abel Caillouet, auxiliary bishop of the archdiocese, at the beginning of the campaign. To further emphasise the Church's support of the project, Archbishop Philip M. Hannan is scheduled to make his first public speech at the Tinted Fund's third report luncheon in the Roosevelt hotel today. Fr.
