PROJECT 70 REVEALED
BY FATHER PRESIDENT
By PAT ORR
Project “70,” Loyola’s plan for the general advance¬
ment of the University, has been receiving much 'atten¬
tion of late by the school administration, th§ Board of
Regents, and the faculty.
At the recent Board of Regents
meeting, held on Thursday, Feb.
14, one of the most pressing points
was this project. At this meeting
the Regents heard preliminary re¬
ports on the proposed launching
of this development movement.
This plan, which will cover the
period between 1960-1970, is a gen¬
eral program for the development
of Loyola University in both the
academic and physical fields.
A detailed report to the public
will not be released at this time,
because the announcement must
FR. CASASSA
be made at the most appropriate
and opportune moment. A civic
meeting this spring will probably
be the time and the place for the
report.
This report will deal with the
physical expansion of the Univer
sity facilities. Many new additions
will be made to the campus both
at downtown and del Rey locations
Newer, bigger and better Law
School facilities have been pro¬
posed to supplement those Already
present at the downtown branch
of the University. These buildings
will not take the place of, the stapd^
ing ones, but will be an addition
to them. A lot next to and includ¬
ing part of the parking area has
been procured for this purpose.
Loyola’s Law School will then be
able to handle more young “law-
yers-to-be” from this area and oth¬
ers throughout the country.
On the Loyola del Rey campus,
the new buildings which will be
oompleted in the n e avr future
through Project “70” are the Sci¬
ence center, the Communication

Loyola’s intrepid police depart¬
ment felt the long arm of the law
itself last Wednesday when the
local gestapo was surprised by the
sudden arrival of the L.A. gen
darmes.
SUBJECT OF the official visit
iwas campus paddy wagon No, 1
and the recently renovated prowl
car No. 2. The former red and
white Chevy which sported Wash¬
ington license plates acquired not
only an official type paint job
but also unofficial Calif, plates.
COINCIDENTALLY, above men¬
tioned No. 1 lost one California
plate. The front numbers of the
wagon (UCC 182) found a new
station in life when they were
transplanted to the rear bumper
of« aforementioned Chevy
THE CITY POLICE checked the
engine numbers and registration
of the vehicles while they were at
it. However, both No. 1 and No. 2
were still prowling Ignatian Circle
at last reports.
NO IMPOUNDMENT, no jail
sentence, no excitement. It was the
beginning of a “big story” any
way
Players Stage
Anouilh's 'Lark'
The Del Rey Players, under the
direction of Mr. Warren Sherlock
will present Jean Anouilh's “The
Lark” on the weekend of March 9
It) and 11 and again on the follow¬
ing weekend of March 16, 17 and
18. All of these evening perfor¬
mances will be given at St. Rob¬
ert’s Auditorium.
THE LARK is the revised ver¬
sion of the trial and condemning
of Joan of Arc. It is Contemporary
in its writing and it is in no way
filled with the usual Over-stuffed,
legal and ecclesiastical jargon that
accompanies most stories of Joan’s
life. It is a play within a play;
a recreation of the major scenes
that lead up to her burning. It is
performed not only, for the live au¬
dience that attend the production,
but also for the members of the
religious hierarchy that passed
judgment on her.
MAJOR ROLES for this produc¬
tion* are held by: Amy VaneJSwho
portrays Joan; Larry Gallagher as
Warwick; Bert Falvo as Charles Le
Dauphin; Dennis Watson, the In¬
quisitor; and Dick Jones as Cau-
chon.
ALSO CONTRIBUTING to the
production are: ‘Lighting, Allen
Daviau; sound, John Stochowiak;
asst, director, Pat Metkoritch; cos¬
tumes, Margaret Sherlock.
REV. FATHER R. A. Reed, S.J.,

Players.

New Music
A Sour Note
By FRED TAUGHER
Editor, Loyolon
Last May, newly elected student body president Joe
Head appointed Hector Salvatiera to the revived post of
New Music Chairman. No more than three weeks before
that, when private citizen Head was seeking the highest
office, he promised that he would take full responsibility
for the appointed officials undent — — — — ;•• •■
-Ч-.
- v
him.
Less th&n two* weeks ago, Loy-
olans still did not know if they
were going to see the return of
the famed New Music series. To¬
day, officials claim that the con¬
cert is scheduled for April 21.
HAP-ltAZARD HEAD and the
New Music Committee of one have
apparently signed (?) the Dave
Pell Octet foe the April appear¬
ance. Arrangements however can¬
not be considered complete, al¬
though the complicated show, is
set for only eight weeks heriee.
The New Music Chairman reports
that there is to be a dance after
the concert, with the accompani¬
ment of either one or two bands.
Oh yes, the dance will also have
two locations (possibly) — t h e
Lair, and St. Robert’s Auditorium.
The concert also has an ideal stage
the Gym.
Of course all of the above ar¬
rangements are subject to change,
just as they have been for the past
10 months.
WHY ALL THE fuss? Well, in
former years New $Tusic was One
of the major highlights of A'SLU
activity. It was scrapped two years
ago, but new interest was revived
when politician Head promised its
return. With all of the precedent
to go by, and with Mr. Head’s un¬
dying faith in his appointees, there
was no reason why New Music
could qot have been the greatest
single music attraction in South¬
land Jazz this year. It used to be.
It could have been so again.
Indications were that New Music
was going to be all that was ex¬
pected. Once he realized that he
could not get; Leonard Bernstein,
Salvatiera made many realistic pro¬
posals to Head, e.g., the New Glen
Miller Orchestra, Ray Cotiiff, and
other groups of that stature. Head
refused them all.
So today we MIGHT have Dave
Pell. How does he compare to the
past performers?
NEW MUSIC I. Stan Kenton, his
20-piece band, and Miss Ani^Rich-
ards inaugurated “New Music On
the Hill.” Kenton who was hailed
as “Modem America’s Man of Mu¬
sic” had just won his fifth con¬
secutive Downbeat Award for the
nation’s number one orchestra.
The Loyola appearance was Ken¬
ton’s first stop on an eight month
tour of the nation’s colleges and
universities. Over 17 00 attended,

ENGLISH PROF.
RETURNS TO U.
When most people have a chance
to break the monotony of their job
or school work, they promptly
plunge themselves into the equally
monotonous vacuum of inertness.
A few, however, such as Dr. Daniel
Mitchell of * the English Depart¬
ment, still believe in making the
most of their time. When Dr.
Mitchell went on his sabbatical
leave last year, he already had
made plans to carry out some re¬
search work in New^ England and
Europe.
>./
: .
NOT ALL OF the vacation was
spent» searching out* information of
literary value. In Ireland Dr. and
Mrs. Mitchell; stayed *at Mrs. Mitch¬
ell's old home in ^ButtevanL near
Mallow* This two hundred year old
manor served as an excellent place
to capture the spirit of Ireland.
