SULLIVAN GIVES LECTURE ON WED. “Footnotes to a Theory of International Relations" will be the title of Dr. Frank Sullivan's lecture this Wednesday at 8 :15 in the old Library. Speaking usually on everything in general Dr. Sullivan has been one of the highlights of the Loyola lectures in — — — p — — — — ^past years. DRP's Open Fall Season The Del Rey Players will present their production for this semester on Friday evening, December 11, with the presentation of Moliere’s ‘Tartuffe.’ Good Satire ‘Tartuffe’ is a classic comedy of Seventeenth century France. Mo- liere is a maste* of satire, and in ‘Tartuffe’ the hypocrites become the target of Moliere’s wrath. Tartuffe (played by Michael Lindsay) is France’s counterpart to Lewis’ Elmer Gantry. Both in their respective^, way find that religion can be most profitable especially when one encounters such dolts as Orgon and his mother Madame Pernelle (Michael Anderson and Judy Warman). So taken in by Tar- tuffe’s pretentious piety, Orgon is willing to go so far $s to give all his possessions, including his daughter, Marianne (Linda Strawn) to the Imposter. Lost Efforts All the efforts of his brother-in- law, maid, son, and rejected future son-in-law (Jim Brown, Judy Lutz, Bafry-GeMagher, and Pete Butler), are unable to dissuade him. Tartuffe, however, brings about his own downfall— Elmire, Orgon’s wife (Mary Jo Teipe) is far too much a temptation for him to over¬ come. As a result the intrigue brought about by Tartuffe’s pres¬ ence in the house leads to near dis¬ aster. Three Day Run Directed by Paul Blackburn, Tar¬ tuffe will run from December 11 thru 14 in the Little Theatre. Cur¬ tain time is 8:30. Loyola students will receive their tickets at no charge upon presenta¬ tion of student body cards. Admis¬ sion for all others is $1.00. Tickets may be obtained in the foyer of the student center during the noon hour. Students Lag In.

PASSES 'BELLE' PLAN by Bob Hargrave ASLU Legislature voted last Wednesday night to accept the establishment of a hostess com¬ mittee patterned after the UCLA Bruin Belles. Plan Set In accepting the plan the Legis¬ lature okayed a program which will be initiated next semester by ASLU President Dick Aldrich. Working with Aldrich on the project will be the ASLU Vice President. Speaking with Bill Gould on the plan he stated that they hope to have it well under¬ way by the beginning of. next semester. Local Reps Participating in the committee will be representatives from Queen of Angels, Marymout, and St. Vincent’s. Still not definite is Immaculate Heart College. The purpose - of the “Belles'’ will be to act as hostesses at special Loyola events and be on hand to add grace and charm to campus functions. The Women’s Colleges have been asked to send two representa¬ tives from each class. Tentatively that will make a committee of 28 ;girls.v •• •• * Solons Refuse To Punish Selves by Ben Aranda in one of the stormiest sessions of the year, the Student Legislature voted last Wednesday not to pun¬ ish its members for arriving late without just cause. Under present regulations even if a Legislator arrived one minute before adjourn¬ ment he was simply marked as tardy, which in no way counted as a partial absence. The solons also decided that whenever a quorum fails to appear for a legislature meeting, Hie miss¬ ing members shall not be counted as absent. The financial situation remained unchanged with the Appropriations Committee contriving to hold $352 worth of appropriation requests while having only $179 in the un¬ appropriated surplus. The financial loss incurred by, the Junior Class Jazz Concert has worried ASLU Treasurer Downs, since the Class has no way of pay¬ ing back the $200 loan the ASLU granted to the Juniors. The proposal to establish the hostess group known as the “Belles” was finally approved last week by a unanimous vote. According to ASLU President Aldrich, Mary¬ mount, St. Vincent’s, and Queen of Angels are seriously thinking of initiating the program as soon as possible. IHC only awaits their Student Council decision as to whether to join in with their sis¬ ter schools or not. Hector SaJvatierra addressed the legislators requesting that a letter be sent to Immaculate Heart Col¬ lege to assure them that the ASLU desires only to maintain the best relations with IHC’s student body. The ensuing discussion centered around the idea that there was no need for such a letter in view of the fact that any difficulties cur¬ rently existing with IHC rested with the Loyolan, an autonomous organization for which the Student Government could not speak.
