              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLM Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, February 4, 1966 No. 11 Dynamic Leader Heads LU By JACK MCGONAGLE "I hope we can solve all of the problems we have— we need more facilities, more scholarships, and mor? money for faculty salaries, but I feel that it can be accomplished." So spoke the dynamic young Jesuit who was recently installed as Loyola's 12th The Very Rev. Homer R. Jolley S.J., who succeeds the Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., is a man qualified for the difficult assignment ahead. Still deeply involved with the development program, he paces the few steps from his office of president to that of de- both tasks with equal assurance.Asked how he felt about the presidency, Fr. Jolley commented that he wasn't quite used to it yet. He added that he thought Loyola had a fine student body. "Older people always see young people as kind of different, sometimes puzzling, but I can't see anything wrong with them," he said. "On the contrary, I'm enthusiastic about the promise and potential of our own students and our young people in general." Fr. Jolley has been a faculty member for 15 years and vicepresident of development since 1964. Several times Father Smith asked to be replaced because of ill health. This was the reason for the change, according to board of regents chairman Louis H. Pilie. He said Fr. Smith had recently repeated his request, citing the fact that the university has embarked on a 10-year, 32 million dollar development program and should have a new president, in better health, to direct the project from start to finish. THIS PROJECT, the "Campaign for Excellence," comprises the construction of seven new buildings and the addition of eight million dollars in endowment and ope rating funds. Pilie described Fr. Jolley, who is 49 years old, as " a man of ideas and energy who is the major architect of our multi-million dollar development program." "Fr. Jolley has experience in every aspect of higher education. He has been a teacher and departmental chairman. He is a high 1 y-regarded research scientist and has directed some of our largest projects," Pilie added. "As vice-president for development, he has organized the campus planning committee, worked closely with the board of regents, and directed the formulation of our master plan. He has experience in civic and professional affairs, having served as head of state associations and as a charter member of the board of directors on such projects as the Gulf South Research Institute and Total Community Action, Inc." "UNDER HIS leadership," Pilie concluded, "Loyola University will continue to expand its vital role in higher education and in the development of our region." Fr. Jolley is a native of Morgan City, La. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton university and did post-doctoral work as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Nottingham in England. He also holds a master of arts degree from Gonzaga University, and a master of science degree from Fordham University. He entered the seminary in 1932 and was ordained in 1945 at St. Mary's College in Kansas. The new president joined the Loyola faculty in 1951 and was appointed chairman of the chemistry department in 1956. While at the university he has been associated with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, where he spent seven summers in research. He remains a consultant at Oak Ridge. A MEMBER of the American Institute of Chemists, he has served as chairman of the Louisiana chapter and as chairman of the Louisiana section of the American Chemical Society.Fr. Jolley is also a member of the Chemical Society of London and the New York Academy of Science. The new president has been active in the promotion of science education among young people and has served as president of the New Orleans Junior Academy of Science. As chairman of the chemistry department at Loyola he inaugurated the in-service institutes for high school teachers conducted in conjunction with the National Science Foundation. Among the major developments during Fr. Smith's tenure were the completion of Biever Hall, and the building of Danna Center and a new utilities plant. Fr. Smith is also responsible for the start of construction of the new women's dorm, due for completion in September; the organization of the board of regents, and the launching of the new development program. THE POSITION of vicepresident of development was created by Fr. Smith. Faculty salaries were increased during his term and a faculty council was initiated to provide a greater voice for professors in university policy. Fγ. Smith was formerly the president of Spring Hill College in Mobile. WEISS SCHUSTER Weiss And Schuster Head CFE Louis H.

Union Fine Arts Committee To Show Rockmore Paintings An exhibit of paintings of Preservation Hall by Noel Rockmore, who is noted for his unusual technique and subjects will be presented in the lounge of Danna Center. Most of the paintings in this exhibit, which is sponsored by the fine arts committee of the Student Union, were done during a forty minute "set" and it is not unusual for three or four paintings to result from a single night's work. This is possible because Rockmore uses a relatively new medium called polymer. Its characteristic of drying immediately frustrates most painters; for Rockmore this is an advantage. Instead of having to wait for the paint to dry he is able to paint at full speed achieving a spontaniety usually associated with watercolors or drawings. Every night for month after month Rockmore went to the Hall with his materials, took up a vantage point and painted furiously. Rockmore invited musicians to pose for him after the concerts. An oil painting was generally completed in something under four hours. Within the space of ten months he accomplished over three hundred polymers and about a hundred oils. Since the series was completed, samples from it have toured the United States and their artistic merit has helped bring attention to Preservation Hall as unique among New Orleans' cultural offerings. ROCKMORE Power Plant Increase Set A $600,000 addition to the university powei plant for the heating and cooling- of new buildings will be constituted this year, the Very Rev. Homer Jolley, S.J., university president, announced. First to use this facility will be the women's residence hall which is scheduled for occupancy in the fall session. Power capacity will be increased from the present (!00 ons of refrigeration to 1,950 tons. The new plant will contain a duplication of the present high temperature water generator.16 New Members ...
