The Los Angeles Loyolan, Volume 40, Issue 2 - October 1, 1962

УЫ. 40 — No. 2 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES October 1, 1962 Project "70" Presents Pioneered "Newlook" As Loyolans returned to school this fall, many were surprised by a marked change in the view of the campus. This “new look” has been caused by the steady progress of “Project 70,” Loyola's $8,500,000 development program. The 10-year academic and building program designed to accommodate a student body of 3000 by 1970 is currently on schedule. Immediate building objectives include a com¬ munication arts building, and a science building. Foley by *63 At the moment, the Foley Communication Arts Center is slated for partial use by the spring semester of 1963. The Seaver Science Hall-named to honor Loy¬ ola Regent Frank R. Seaver-f contains 75,000 square feet and is comprised of three separate en¬ tities. The first segment of the building at the south end is the laboratory building and to the north is the lecture hall, joined by a conecting glass facade. The laboratory portion of the complex contains three stories plus a small penthouse and a partial basement, while the lecture hall is based on a two-story scheme of two large lecture rooms (200 seats each) and four 72-seat classrooms. In the Science Building will be housed the facilities for the de¬ partments of physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Con¬ struction costs of the building are estimated at $1,435,000, with oc¬ cupancy for classes set for the fal semester of 1963. The second building phase of О - I - - - - - Loyola includes an Administration building ($500,000), an addition to the Von der Ahe Library ($700,- 000), and a third residence hall ($900,000) to be built behind Des¬ mond and Rosecrans Halls. Programs The undergraduate program centering around the Foley Com¬ munication Arts Center, confer¬ ring a bachelor's degree in com¬ munication arts, will generally follow Loyola's traditional liberal arts course. Special emphasis will be placed on creative writing. In the junior and senior years the student will be broadly taught the principles and operating theories and meth¬ ods of the various communication media. The graduate program, leading to a master's degree, will special¬ ize the student's interest in the medium of his choice-journalism, television, cinema, or advertising. Here, again, creative writing will be stressed and imaginative pre¬ sentation encouraged.

VICULIN PROPOSES BETTER LAW CODE Fr. Casassa, Regents Frank R. Seaver and Fritz B. Buans break ground for new science building. On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the student body will vote on several amendments to the ASLU Constitution. The most important of these proposals is the revision of our faltering judicial system. The judicial proposals are the result of the investigation of ASLU Attorney-General John Viculin into the judicial systems of nearly 40 universities. His conclu¬ sions have been incorporated into a twenty page report sub¬ mitted to the Student Legislature on Sept. 27. “To make our judicial system work,” said Viculin, “four princi¬ pal areas need drastic revision.” For the benefit of Loyolan read¬ ers Viculin described his revisions. One, Two, Three “First,” said Viculin, “the ASLU Laws and' By-Laws must be care¬ fully codified for easy reference. Secondoly, basic court procedures must be clarified and established. Thirdly, the process of selecting judges must be improved.” On this matter Viculin advanced the proposition that in the future can¬ didates for judicial positions should take a test demonstrating competence in ASLU law and pro¬ cedure. “Fourthly,” continued Viculin, “the present two court system is too complicated for the needs of our student body. It should be simplified by establishing one court to handle all cases.” Other amendments proposed by Viculin will incorporate the new Loyola Pep Club, another will clarify the procedures for emer¬ gency legislation. Viculin urges adoption of these proposals at the Oct. 4 elections. Concluded Viculin, “Our entire judicial system has been paralyz- JOHN VICULIN ed by unworkable procedure and practices. Consequently, the fa¬ culty has been forced to assume enforcement of ASLU laws. These proposals will allow Loyola stu¬ dents to administer and enforce the laws they have passed for the benefit of the student body.” ASLU Holds Inter-School Conference Along with the many other changes this year, the ASLU will set a new precedent by holding the annual Intercollegiate Leader¬ ship Conference (ILC) off campus for the first time. The ILC which usually lasts for one day, will be held on October 5th, 6th, and 7th. Delegates from Loyola, IHC, Marymount, Mt. St. Mary's, Queen's, and St. Vincent's will meet at Bellows Lodge at Big Bear Lake on Friday evening, Oc¬ tober 5th. MANY TOPICS On Saturday, the work of the ILC will begin and last until Sun¬ day afternoon. The purpose of the ILC is to discuss topics concern¬ ing students and student govern¬ ment. Three of the twelve topics are: “Why do Loyola students of¬ ten criticize the girls from the women's colleges and vice-versa?” “Is the difference that is often mentioned between Catholic and non-Catholic students due to mor¬ ality, maturity, or what?” “Non- co-education, good or bad?” These and other topics have been arranged for discussion groups by the co-chairmen of the ILC, Tony Coelho and Bob Schmitz. Loyola will participate by send¬ ing about twenty-five delegates from the Student Legislature and the Executive Board. A report on the conference will be published and distributed to students and faculty for future reference. Honor Society Revitalized Alpha Sigma Nu are the Greek letters designating the National Jesuit Honor Society which has a chapter of its organization on Loyola's campus. Its declared purpose is to draw within its ranks, members of the student body who have excelled in the areas of scholarship, loyal¬ ty, and service to Loyola Univer¬ sity. Presently, only three stu¬ dents from each college, i.e., Arts and Sciences, Business Admini¬ stration, and Engineering have the privilege to be selected in their junior year. Thus, there is a high caliber of compitition in gaining entrance to Alpha Sigma Nu. This year, under new leadership, these Loyolans plan to conduct several interesting projects in ad¬ dition ot their work in other or¬ ganizations. For example, they are currently organizing a dis¬ play for the. Library which will indicate interesting and signifi¬ cant events in the “Pages from Loyola's History”.
