              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XLIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, Jan. 13, 1967 No. 11 Student Union Displays Pop Art by HELEN BAFFES Examples of "Pop Art" from the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York are currently on display in the Danna Center. The Castelli collection is being sponsored by the Fine Arts Committee of the Student Union.Castelli is the man who has done the most to promote the Pop Art movement which has now grown into a world cultural phenomenon in clothing, advertising, etc. Castelli started Pop in 1962 and is still popular, although "Optical Art" and hard-edged paintings are constituting a revolution against Pop by their stark simplicity as opposed to the complexity of highly humorous quality of Pop production."Pop artists are serious people," said Father Whitney Engeran, chairman of the Fine Arts Department. "In a teasing way, they are using the corny and commercial aspects of American culture as legitamate subject matter for art." Among the artists represented in the Castelli showing is Robert Rauschenberg, who two years ago won the Venice Biennale award. Roy Lichtenstein's works are also on display. Lichtenstein was the United States representative in Venice for the presentation of the Biennale. "These works are called 'graphics'," explained Father Engeran, "They are done by lithograph and silk-screen processess."The Campbell soup and other banners are the result of the new trend in the last three years promoted by Castelli. Swirls and Drops ... Castelli might know, but this student definitely seems puzzled over the real significance of this example of pop art hung in the student union. The fine Arts Committee of the union is sponsoring the art show. Danna Center Burglarized; Thief Gets $250 Sunday Burglars took $250 from the Danna Center over the weekend in the second university burglary in two weeks. Advance Industrial Security reports that sometime between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday someone broke into the Danna Center's top floor and stole the money from the union director's office. The loss of the money was first reported to the campus police by Diane Donovan, in charge of the Wolf's Den, who told police she was on her way to the office to count money when she noticed that the box where the money was kept was tampered with. She proceeded to count the money and noticed the loss. Once the police arrived on the scene, they reported that someone had unlocked the door. This observation was made in light of the fact that authorities had known since the Wednesday before the burglary that a set of keys to the center's offices was missing. As of this printing, no clues have turned up. The missing keys have turned up in the mail receptacle on the outside of the security police's office. Police were unable to find fingerprints on them, and who took them still remains a mystery. Lt. J. B Franklin, area supervisor for Advance Industrial Security, held a meeting of the 36 employees, connected with the dormitories and Danna Center, on Tuesday night Jan. 10 for the purpose of questioning them, Campus police as well as detectives from the city police force held the meeting. * * * Sometime during the Christmas vacation, vandals broke into Biever Hall and Ignatius and stole personnal articles consisting of record players, steros, albums, and electric razors.
