NEW SCHOOL
The proposed $1,750,000 addi¬
tion to the downtown Loyola Law
School is designed as a five-level
reinforced concrete and steel
structure, to be located at the
northwestern corner of 12th and
Grand Streets intersection in Los
Angeles. The classrooms will be
surrounded by terraces, and the
building will include a law library,
reading rooms, microfilm and pro¬
cessing rooms, typing rooms, and
administration and faculty offices.
Parking facilities will consist of
both upper and lower level park¬
ing accommodations. Rumor has
it that the law school building is
in the last stages of planning and
construction will soon be under
way.
Students are advised that all
non-academic registration can
be taken care of in the Dean of
Men's Office January 15-30.
Each student must present his

The forthcoming Semester
will be commenced with a fine
tribute to Loyola University, the
Foley Communication Arts Cen¬
ter. Almost completed, this mas¬
terpiece of architecture will soon
be the center of attraction.
Here at last is a place for our
Communication Arts majors who
have been clamoring for facili¬
ties for so long. The undergradu¬
ate students will follow a general
liberal arts course, with special
emphasis on creative writing, an
extensive frontier in the English
Department. With the new pro¬
gram in vogue, all Communication
Arts majors will obtain the long-
sought Bachelors degree. Post
graduate work will consist primar¬
ily in very specified work, relying
completely on the judgement of
the student: advertising, televi¬
sion, motion pictures and journal¬
ism.
STRUB THEATRE
Very unique and greatly im¬
pressive is the Strub Little Thet-
tre, consisting of a revolving
stage, easily flexible lighting ar¬
rangements, reasonable seating ca¬
pacity and the benefits of the
most modern theatrical equip¬
ment.
Soon to be installed will be a
magnificent mosaic-mural in the
vestibule . . . an impressive cir¬
cular arrangement that will de¬
light the eyes of any Gourmand!
Up above on the third floor is
a novel penthouse- type roof-gar-
den, surrounded by roomy office
space. Below all of this on the
second floor lie the classroom v

CHARLES B. EDMONDS, TWA executive, presents Guten¬
berg Bible census volume to Loyola president Rev. Charles
S. Casassa, S.J., for Loyola University library.
Gutenberg Index Given
Loyola University was presented with a special edition
of the SOOth Annversary Census of the Gutenberg Bible by
officials of Trahs World Airlines in a ceremony held on the
Loyola campus Monday, December 17.
Loyola president, the Reverend Charles S>. Cassasa, ac¬
cepted the volume for the univer
sity library from TWA executive
Charles B. Edmonds.
SCHOLARLY RESEARCH
The special edition, published in
limited quantity, is a volume for
research for scholars and book
collectors studying the sources
and locations of existing copies of
the original Gutenberg Bible. In
making the presentation, Edmonds
stated that TWA awarded it “in
recognition of Loyola University's
continuing program for expanding
and enriching the research facili¬
ties of the university library."
The completion of the Guten¬
berg Bible in 1455 represented the
invention of printing. Prior to
that date, all manuscrips were re¬
produced by hand.
SURVIVING COPIES
The Census is a one volume
guidebook to all surviving copies
of the original Gutenberg Bible.
The author, Don C. Norman, pre¬
pared the edition by visiting li¬
braries and institutions through¬
out the world. TWA assisted Nor¬
man in arranging his research
trips to Europe and Africa.
In addition to research material
on the Gutenberg copies/ the edi¬
tion contains color reproductions
of the manuscripts themselves.
ADG to Host

low price of $3.00 each.
Walt Lange, chairman of the af¬
fair, and Dennis Flynn, fraternity
president, hail the Thunderbird as
one of the finest in the southland.
The appropriately titled dance
will offer an evening's diversion to
all Loyolans shocked and bewil¬
dered by final exams but grateful
for having another semester un¬
der their belts.
