STUDENTS FORM
FREEDOM FORUM
A new organization is being formed on the Loyola cam¬
pus this semester. It is called >the Loyola Student Freedom
Forum; its purpose is to promote anti-Communist action
among Loyola students.
“The purpose of t h e Freedom
Forum is to promote a coordinated
and supervised program of anti-
Communist action among stu¬
dents, states Bob Ward, organizer
of the new organization. The For¬
um has had several meetings and
now can count it’s active member¬
ship at sixteen students. “The ac¬
tive interest of many Loyola stu¬
dents in the Forum indicates its
need at Loyola,” continued Ward
Two Sections
The Freedom Forum is divided
into two sections, one section con
ducts an educational program con¬
sisting of tapes on Communism,
lectures, and panel discussions, the
other section distributes informa¬
tion on all phases of the Commun¬
ist conspiracy.
Invited to West Point Tourney
By Pete Carton
Loyola University received its highest honor last week as the championship debate
team of Steve Shiffrin and Jerry Uelmen won invitations to the unofficial national de¬
bate championships at the West Point Intercollegiate Debate, April 25 to 28. This
coveted award, equal to the final round in NCAA competition, was captured by fin¬
ishing as finalists in District I competition in the district tournament at Claremont Men's
College on March 30 and 31.
Undefeated
In the tournament at Claremont,
Shiffrin and Uelmen were matched
against the twenty-one best teams
in the five Far Western states. All
teams participated in eight rounds
of matched debate, with the top
four teams to represent District 1
at New York. Loyola’s men were
the only undefeated team and the
only team from Los Angeles to
qualify as the University of South¬
ern California had trouble in the
preliminaries and UCLA failed to
even qualify a team.
In winning this first-time award
for their school, Uelmen and Shif¬
frin defeated two of the other
qualifying teams, Redlands and the
University of San Diego. The other
team to qualify was Brigham
Young University whom Loyola has
vanquished in previous encounters
Won 53— Lost 17
According to the noted director
of the University’s Forensics Pro¬
gram, Michael P. Schon, “This is
the greatest year in Loyola’s debate
history. During the course of the
current college debate season, our
‘varsity’ won 53, lost 17 and tied
6.” In doing this, they were se
lected the 1962 Southern California
Intercollegiate Debate Champions
by defeating USC in the final
round of the Southern California
Championships at San Fernando
Valley State College on March 17.
This trip to the Military Acad¬
emy marks the culmination of a
three-year effort on the part of
Schon, Shiffrin, and Uelmen. In
debating the same topic, both af¬
firmative and negative, for an en¬
tire year, the trio spent hundreds
of hours collecting better than
1000 pieces of evidence from maga¬
zines, books and essays of every
conceivable origin. i
Del Rey T roupers
Present
“The Crucible,” a play by Arthur Miller concerning
witch trials in Puritan New England, will be presented to the
students and friends of Loyola University for six perform¬
ances in St. Robert's Auditorium beginning May 10 accord¬
ing to the moderator of the Del Rey Players, Mr. Warren
Sherlock.
This award-winning play, star-3> — — — - — ■ — — - — - —
ring Dennis Watson, John Cser.
Mike Finnegan, Mary Jo George,
and Amy Vane, has a cast of
twenty with an accumulated exper¬
ience of over 200 professional and
non-professional stage productions
Witch Hunting
The play, to be presented May
10, 11 and 12 and again on May
17, 18 and 19, is a study of the
theme of guilt by association based
on an actual incident in 17th cen¬
tury, New England. Some of the
dialogue is taken from the original
transcript of the trial. Its setting
in the days of witch hunting in
eludes many themes from other
plays written in the last century
and as a result has been a favorite
of discerning audiences for the
past decade.
Although it would be unfair to
the Del Rey Players and the au¬
dience to reveal the power and
message of this drama, the press
has been authorized to release the
comments made on the play’s con-
ent by Mrs. Sherlock in a private
interview:
Bewitched
“Five teenage girls are caught
in an indiscretion and, to cover
up their sin, they say that they
were bewitched. They start accus¬
ing various people, -the townspeo¬
ple believe them, and a witchhunt
(for reasons other than witchery)
is organized.”
With an admission fee of $1.25,
and only 50c for students, the play
will be performed at 8:30 nightly.
The Free List is suspended for
this occasion.
Other members of the cast in¬
clude: Pat Lynch, Fred Aldrete,
Frank Greco, Jack Connelly, Joe
Michels, Ron Brawders, Maria
Bellacicco, Jessie Englehardt, Ed-
wina Gaines, Jan Francis, Sondra
Brodsky, Pat Metkovitch, Gloria
Glogow, Dorothea Kavanagh, and
Asst. Director, Kathy Murphy.
