Shelly Marine, world famous "Leaf man," will be featured in "New Music," May 17. Manne Heads List For Jazz Concert The upcoming All Star Jazz Concert at the Wilshire Ebell has all the makings of a summit conference of the jazz world. According to Larry Gallagher, chairman of the joint Delta Sig-ASLU project, five of the most important person¬ alities in the field of modern progressive jazz will be playing > in combo. Shelly Manne, known [locally for his Hollywood night¬ spot, The Mannehole, will be drum¬ mer for the combo. Shelly’s drum¬ ming has been made famous throughout the world by concert tours in almost all major cities. Manne played with Andre Previn’s The following is a letter writ- Pals before launching out on his ETHICS PROF. ADMONISHES 'DEFENDERS' ten by Fr. Вцгке, S.J., of the own. Philosophy department resulting from the recent presentation of the (<Defenders ” on the subject of abortion. Dear Sirs: For many months now I have been an enthusiastic follower of your “Defenders” program, and, as an ethics teacher, have recom mended it to my students with equal enthusiasm. I recommend it to them, as I told them, not because I always or invariably agreed with the ethical solutions proposed on the program, but because at least it posed the problems, raised real moral issues, got people thinking about them and discussing them. I admired also its clear distinction be¬ tween the legal and the moral spheres. The amazing variety of the moral and *egal questions treat¬ ed, plus the high technical excel¬ lence of both writers and produc¬ tion staff as well as the excellent acting made the program, in my opinion, “first rate.” However, I feel it necessary to register a protest in regard to the April 28th program on abortion. My protest is not that I disagree with the doctor's ideas (I have dis- ( Continued on Page 2) Porgy and Bess Accompanying Shelly on bass will be another Pals alumnus, Red Mitchell, who has backed up some of the world’s greatest artists. Red is the bass genius behind Andre Previn’s sound-track for Porgy and Bess, and has also worked on quite a few of Previn’s previous record¬ ings. Conte Candoli, considered crea¬ tor /of one of the best progressive “horn” styles, will be trumpet man. Conte and his brother, Pete, have established themselves as a capable trumpet-and-trombone duo. Teddy Edwards leaves his own group for the night to back up Conte on the baritone sa^. Teddy one of the brightest starslm the progressive scene, is best known around the country for his per¬ formances at popular and jazz fes¬ tivals. Victor Feldman Holding down the rhythm sec¬ tion will be Victor Feldman. Vic¬ tor has played piano and vibes with Woody Herman and Buddy de Franco, and cut about 30 albums. Probably the best known is his work with Hank Mancini, especial¬ ly on the Peter Gunn track. Com¬ ing from England, Victor topped recent jazz polls as the best new¬ comer to the U.S. scene. Last year he returned to Europe to accom¬ pany Peggy Lee’s concert tour. The big, big attraction of the show will be Big Miller, the 6’10” singer that critics have called a musical as well as physical giant of jazz. Marty Ingles, TV comedian fa¬ miliar to viewers of the Steve Allen and Ed Sullivan shows, will be master of ceremonies for the con¬ cert. Ingles will be riding the air¬ ways this fall with a show of his own. Chuy Gonzales won the Vice- President’s spot with an over¬ whelming 573 to 230 margin over John Meyer. The ASLU Secretary is Clay Wilson, who ran unop¬ posed, although Richard Hessler, a late declaration from the race, polled 72 votes anyway. In a runoff election on Friday, Art Kocienski defeated Frank Masse for ASLU Treasurer. FROSH Two new cheerleaders were se¬ lected as Mike Curry and Jack Kane polled a majority of votes. In class elections, John Goodwin running unopposed was named Seriior Class President. The Vice- Presidency was copped by Junior Frank Gately who received 96 votes to 70 for Peter Johnson. Steve McLaughlin defeated both George Dasaro and Larry Sork for gig lllls BILL HERRERAS Senior Secretary-Treasurer by 3 more than a majority thereby not forcing a runoff on Friday. ONE VOTE As with the Senior Class candi¬ date for President, Paul Tiffany ran unopposed and was named Junior Class President. Sophomore Ron Kronauge defeated Dino Fa- ralli by a mere one vote in the closest contest of the elections. Final tabulation showed Ron with 113 ballots and Dino with 112.

Moderated by Rev. Roland A. Reed and directed by Mr. Warren Sherlock, the large cast is set to give one of the most ambitious productions of the year. Starting May 10, the play will be staged six nights on the Loyola campus. ■ "I will bring your guts into your mouth, but that goodness will not die for me." Maria Bellacicco as Mary Warren and Dennis Watson as John Proctor share starring roles in Del Rey Players latest pro¬ duction, the "Crucible." The Crucible, with a cast drawn from both Loyola and neighboring Catholic women’s colleges, is the latest in a memorable list of Del Rey performances. The gripping Twelve Angry Men, Anouilh’s in¬ spiring The Lark, and, on the lighter side, the last production, My Three Angels, are more recent ones. Plan now to see The Crucible at 8:30, in St. Robert’s Auditorium, on any of these nights: May 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 or 19. Tickets are $1.25 for general admission and 50 cents for students. Witch Trials The play takes place in Salem, Mass., in 1692 and shows the beginning of the infamous witch trials. The town is seething with suspicions and private motives, and anyone even suspected of witch¬ craft is liable to be burned at the stake. At the center of the play is the personal struggle of John Proctor, whose wife is accused of witchcraft by a young girl of the community who has seduced Proc¬ tor. The tensions of the community mount until the end when, after a gripping and famous trial scene, Proctor refuses to violate his re¬ lationship to God by making a dis¬ honest arrangement with the state. Requiescat In Pace The Loyolan staff extends its condo >ences to Freshman Tom Delmore on the recent death ol his father Dr. Robert Delmore.
