Jeonnie Conner Student Involvement Important Says Archbishop Hannan Corps Promoted Rhbishop Phillip Hannan of New Orleans told Loyidents last Friday that institutions are necessary iat organizations enable people to become more lally involved with their fellow man. aking before 700 persons at a university convoin the Fieldhouse,  the Archbishop suggested that college graduates give consideration to joining the diocesan-run Friendship Corps, an organization working in underpriveleged areas in the city. He said the corps was an organization in which persons could find fulfillment by benefiting the community. "We must follow the law of charity, the law of service to others," Archbishop Hannan He explained that there is a rule in the Church which calls for a job to be done by the smallest possible unit able to accomplish it. But, he added, the Church has often found it necessary to organize on a larger than strictly man-to-man basis in order to get things **You can't be honest if you shy away from institutions because you don't like organizations," the archbishop said. Archbishop Hannan noted that there is presently a trend toward more personalism and, he said, it is a good development. However, he said personalism does not mean drawing oneself aside from the world. He said a person must be conscious of the needs of society, aware of his own place and willing to serve the community. "Remember the Incarnation is always the pattern of personalism," he said. He (Christ) took that human nature only to serve humankind." The Friendship Corps, the archbishop said, is an organization of persons in the year following their graduation from college who "help the needs of the community through the Church." He said it was formed in the honor of Margaret Haughery, an Irish immigrant to New Orleans in the 1830s, who built up a group of charitable institutions."We expect this work also to develop the Christain personality," Archbishop Hannan said. He explained that the corps was set up "to do that work which is not being done now that will benefit the community."Archbishop Hannan also urged students to develop their foremost talent as the means by which to find self-fulfillment.He said, "We can't speak of self-fulfillment if we mean all our talents in all directions. We have to chose which talent we shall fulfill and that means primarily a sacrifice." Archbishop Hannan Student Elections Polls will be open today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the final day of voting for president and vice-president of the Student Council.Presidential candidates are A&S juniors Martin Buckley, Bob Dupont and Tom Wright. Running for vice-president are Gary Keyser, Law School sophomore, and Tom White A&S sophomore. Anyone with an ID card may vote. Booths are located in Danna Center, Marquette Hall and the Law School. Ballots will be counted tonight after the polls close. Dynamism Needed At Loyola By FERREL GUILLORY Dynamism is needed if there is to be an effective learning process in the university, said Dr. John F. Christman, Loyola's newly appointed vice-president for academic affairs in an interview Wednesday. Dr. Christman said this dynamism is created by a more intimate, person-to-person interaction between student and teacher. He proposed a new type of course, for Loyola called a tutorial, to help fulfill this need. Hermits "You cannot have a learned hermit," he explained. You learn from people-to-people contact. Learning means that it has to be used." The new academic vice-president said his job will be to coordinate the academic efforts of the university and to be an advisor to the Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., university president, in these matters. "My responsibility is to assure the organization of the academia so that it flows effectively to the student," Dr. Christman said. "The greater amount of student-faculty interaction, the more successful this university can become." Catalist He said the role of the university is to catalyze the leadership potential of the next generation and to give students a firm foundation of knowledge upon which to base this leadership. However, Dr. Christman declared that he did not think students should be represented on faculty or administration academic committees. He said that too many times emotions play a destructive role in the way students judge their teachers.Father Jolley said that Dr. Christman would be concerned mainly with the recruitment of faculty, relationship between the different schools of the university and curriculum. "I respected his academic judgement," Father Jolley said in explanation for his decision to promote Dr. Christman. Tutorials Dr. Christman said a tutorial course was "an organized bullsession" led by a teacher whose function it was to keep the discussion in perspective. Such courses would be limited to six students and could be applied in any subject. Describing it as a step into graduate school, the academic vice-president said that a tutorial course would be conducive to the inter-action aspect of education. "I would like to see that every student who is presently a sophomore will have at least one tutorial," Dr. Christman declared. He said that in the future he would want every student to schedule one tutorial during every semester he was in undergraduate school. Thesis Dr. Christman said he was interested in making a bachelor's thesis available in all departmentsBlue Key To Induct Twenty New Members Twenty male students will be inducted into Blue Key National Honor Fraternity Sunday night at 7:00 in the A la Carte dining room.
