CIRCLE SETS
DATES FOR
INTERVIEWS
Paul Boland, self-appointed
Crimson Circle President, has pub¬
licly announced that the week of
March 18 to 27 will be the last
chance to get your petition to run
for the Crimson Circle. With
student /body elections slated
for April 24, candidates for Crim¬
son Circle must obtain their peti¬
tion between the days stated to
go before the Circle Board.
The interviews will be staged
by active Crimson Circle leaders
who will ask the petitioners vital
and pertinent questions. The board
will then select those they deem
qualified to run in the election
on the 24th of April.
2.00 AVERAGE NEEDED
There will be nine openings for
this elite group because of the
graduation of nine seniors. To
qualify, a prospective candidate
need only have a 2.00 overall av¬
erage as well as a 2.00 for the last
semester. Also, by next fall, the
candidate must be either a junior
or a senior with at least one full
year left at Loyola.
This respected service organiza¬
tion has done much in the past
to better the name of Loyola. It
performs needed functions which
otherwise would be left undone.
But the honor and prestige which
goes with the donning of a Circle
sweater easily makes up for any
inconveniences which the indivi¬
dual might be asked to bear.

QUESTION GAME
/ АВС
Alumni Fun, With
John
К.
M. McCaffery as host-
moderator, a new question and
answer program featuring two
teams of prominent alumni match¬
ing wits for cash awards to their
colleges, is currently one of the
viewing highlights of Sunday af¬
ternoons.. Under the sponsorship
of the American Cyanimid Com¬
pany, Alumni Fun is telecast Sun¬
days, 4:30-5 p.m., EST.
Each week six alumni, outstand¬
ing in their respective fields, re¬
present their alma maters. The
winning team earns a substantial
cash grant for the institution’s
alumni fund and returns the fol¬
lowing week to complete with an¬
other alumni group.
TRIAL RUN
Alumni Fun had its first trial
run at the AAC’s 1961 Conference
at the Diplomat in Florida, when
nearly 1,000 alumnors had a
chance to see .Alan Ludden mod¬
erate the make-believe program.
Immediately after that presenta-
tion, Questionnaires were distri¬
buted by the producer and return-
! ed by 150 colleges, of which 149
professed an ability to provide a
team for the program should it
be sold and become a reality.
In its present format, Alumni
Fun is designed to tell in a modest
way the success story of the per¬
sonalities who are considered to
be prominent in their chosen
field.
TEAM EFFORT
It will be written and played
with the understanding that after-
one leaves college, facts are not
easily recalled — 1066 doesn't auto¬
matically bring to mind the Battle
of Pacific as it once might have
done. Unlike the College Bowl,
where individuals give the answers
Alumni Fun will call on team ef¬
fort for the answer to each ques¬
tion. Each team will consist of
three members, and no one person
will be responsible for an answer.
