Gov't Awards LU $.5 Million Loyola University has been awarded a $500,000 grant by the federal government toward building of the proposed physicsmathematics section of the science complex. This grant is in addition to the one awarded last year toward the chemistry section of the complex. The entire structure will cost about $4.2 million of which one million will be provided by the United States government by these grants. Construction of the complex is slated to begin Jan. 1, 1967, and completion is expected 18 months later. The building will include closed circuit TV, an amphi-theatre, and corridors which open to the outside. The money was received under the Higher Education Act of 1963. * In addition, Dr. M. H. Mac- Donald, chemistry department chairman, announced the department will begin a Ph.D. program in the fall of 1967. Dr. Mac Donald also said her department will limit undergraduate majors to about 80 and graduate students to approximately 30. She noted that the labs in the new building would have a capacity of 32 to provide for more individual instruction.The physics - mathematics complex is one of a long list of improvements for the university in the "Campaign for Excellence". McKeithen Hannan Rault Tucker Conservatives Lawful, Wilson "The conservative must be accepted as a legitimate political position and studied in a general sense and in particular situations," said Dr. Francis Wilson, professor of political science at the University of Illinois, at the Conservative Club lecture Monday. Dr. Wilson said that"\he dialectical forces arise when there is a deep consensus. In any struggle there is a pattern of argument which generates ideas that are incorporated from the past into the present, Dr. Wilson continued. The conservative is aware of his engagement to a position in a changing siutation. Following this line, the conscious conservative has a committment to adhere to the established order and to the symbols that justify and sustain it. Eric Voegelin embodies this viewpoint when he says that the historical process is understood to be the movement of history and civilization toward or from God, and union with Him. The intellectual conservative philosophy rests with the model of the Universe and history. It always involves some stand or ordinary or perennial philosopical issues. Edmund Burke speaks for the conservative attitude that is against "sophisters and calculators." History and statesmanship in the conservative view include faith in prescription and the arithmetic of an excise man. This is not to say the conservative is against reform, for in France during the 19th century they spoke out against industrialism. The Christian conservative will consider the effect of sin, not the psychological distortions of the judgment of the mind. He realizes that society is ruled by natural law and rights. This is a part of the new Aristotlian attitude of looking at things objectively, not in a pragmatic way. Another point Dr. Wilson brought out was that the governmentgovernment must be limited in its power by internal restrictions and the careful arrangement of majority rule conditions. The conservative is satisfied with a low level of consensus whereas the revolutionary requires a high one. It is here that the conservative suspicion of planned society appears. As time has progressed, the position of the liberal has grown from individualism to collectivism. Now it is the conservative who affirms the principle of free-market against the liberals. Conservatives . . . Dr. Francis Wilson of the University of Illinois is greeted by Conservative Club members Joe Dupree, Charles Flickner, and John Horan before his talk here Monday night.

Mistrial Declared; Lets Killer Off Hook A hung jury caused Judge Bernard Bagert to dechare a mistrial in the murder proceedings of accused killer "Mad Dog" Murphy. The bearded Loyola student was set free on $10,000 bond with the date of a new trial pending. The jury had been instructed to return with one of three possible verdicts: guilty of murder as charged, manslaughter, or not guilty. After a lengthy deliberation, the jury returned and announced it could not agree on a verdict. The vote was 8-4 not guilty. Murphy was being tried for the murder of another Loyola student, Jeff Sinclair, in the A La Carte dining room in Danna Center. According to the chief witness for the prosecution, Mrs. Doris Melerine, dining room cashier, the accused killer had lifted the dining room cash box and told her that he would "blow a hole through her" if she didn't cooperate. The murder victim, Jeff Sinclair, was sitting in the snack bar and tried to stop Murphy. A scuffle ensued, and Sinclair was shot in the abdomen. Two Loyola law school students, Frank Chopin and Vincent Gloriosa, handled the prosecution in the moot court proceedings. Jim Sutherfield and Manuel Fernandez, also members of the law school, composed Murphy's defense. Sutherfield handled the direct examination and Fernandez the cross-examination. The defense contended that Murphy had picked up the cash box as a favor to Tom Feeny, an employee of Saga Food Service. While under direct examination Murphy gave the following account of the incident: "I had the cashbox in my hand when I was approached by a student who grabbed the cashbox . . . and a struggle followed. I carry a .25 caliber Beretta automatic because I often carry large sums of mon- ey and walk home alone at night. During the scuffle the gun came loose from my belt ... I was agraid it would accidentally discharge so I grabbed it in my right hand. The student grabbed my hand \with the gun ... I felt it go off as we struggled." Lieut. Libs Praised Murphy '64 Graduate Receives Bronze Star For Valor A 1964 Loyola graduate, now serving in Viet Nam, wrote a letter recently to one of his former college professors, describing the action for which he was decorated this month. "All of a sudden the fighting became a nightmare," wrote 24-year-old First Lt. John Libs. Libs is stationed with the First Infantry Division's Second  16th Infantry's Company C. He stated that his company was surrounded by a Viet Cong- battalion and 19 men were immediately lost. The company commander was wounded, and Libs said he took charge to try to save the rest. For his action, he was awarded the Bronze Star for valor, the highest award a division commander can give and was recommended for the Silver Star, highest award for bravery the Army can give, explained the Rev. J. Emile Pfister, recipent of the letter who taught him theology and philosophy while at Loyola. Libs wrote Father Pfister of his receiving the Purple Heart Libs for slight wounds: "I'm very proud, but I'm not sure I deserve a thing.
