NEWSPAPER By CHARLIE KUNZ, Editor-in-Chief FRANK SCOTT Managing Editor In the Legislature meeting held last Thursday, Junior Class President Bob Schmitz presented the report of his committee on Loyola’s publications and gave his recommenda¬ tion for what he considered future improvem ents. This committee began originally as an organ of investigation with the purpose of delving into the reasons behind the absence of undergraduate pictures in the Lair — — — щп - — — - — - : — ц - - - - - Annual. Soon, however, the commit¬ tee decided to take up the age old and slightly worn vendetta against the student newspaper. Even during and prior to the well- remembered days of Student Body President Dennis Riley, petty poli¬ ticians sought their own political College, Dominican Girls’ College, Notre Dame College at Belmont, Bellarmine Prep, Notre Dame High, and San Joaquin High. The club is also taking the Cellar Dwellers, a campus folk group, along with them as an added at¬ traction during their singing en¬ gagements. augmentation at the expense of those who called to question their integrity. Thus, we, the editorial staff of the Loyolan, were neither dismayed nor surprised at Schmitz’s illogical recommendations for im¬ proving the newspaper, but were, perhaps, slightly amused. How¬ ever, since Schmitz has seen fit MIDNIGHT LEAVE The Glee dub will leave campus at midnight on Wednesday, Feb. 19, and will arrive Thursday morn¬ ing in San Francisco at the Sut¬ ter Hotel where they will stay during the tour.

This Board will be responsible for the selection of the Editors of the different publications. Selection shall be made from a written ap¬ plication from those interested and an interview with the said person. The person will also have to sub¬ mit an outline of his proposed work for the following year. The committee will have the power of removal of irresponsible appoint¬ ments. It will have the power to make suggestions, but have no di- | rect control of the publication in this matter. This power is reserv- i ed to the moderator of the publi¬ cation.” This quote is the committee re¬ commendation presented to the le¬ gislature at their weekly meeting. We took it upon ourselves to scrutinize the evidence upon which Schmitz bases his report and found quite different conclusions. COLLEGE SURVEY The report contained a survey taken among IT colleges and uni¬ versities throughout the United States, including Loyola. Two of these colleges were not question¬ ed about their newspapers, while the third, Stanford, does not fit - (Continued on Page 8) Songbirds Fly GLEE CLUB TO LEAVE FOR FIVE DAY TOUR By PAUL LUCCA The Loyola University Glee Club will leave for San Francisco Thursday, Feb. 20 to begin its annual concert tour.

Upon approval by the Rose Parade Commission sometime in March, and with the recommendation of Father President, the name of Loyola University of Los Angeles will be heard by 80 to 100 million people next New Year’s Day during the Annual Rose Parade in Pasadena California, in the form of a float. This announcement was made to the student legislature last Thursday by Student Body President Tony Coelho, through whose laudable efforts this whole project has been all but made a reality. GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Loyola University will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1965. And if everything goes according to plan, the entire nation will be con¬ scious of this fact. The cost for the entire feat is estimated to be around the $8,000 mark. Consider¬ ing the amount of publicity that Loyola will receive, this is an in¬ vestment, not an expense. If accepted by the Rose Parade Commission, Loyola will be one of two colleges in addition to the two Rose Bowl football teams to have an entry in the New Year’s extravaganza. Truly this honor is in keeping with the current Pro¬ ject ’70 trend. Presently Cal Poly is the only regular institute of higher learning participating in the affair. Fifty students will be required to construct the float which will be designed by a professional ar¬ chitect. The work will be done during the Christmas recess, thus not burdening anyone with studies. Planning for the float will begin as soon as Loyola’s bid is accepted by the Committee. Student Body President Tony Coelho deserves the greatest amount of praise possible for his unselfish and time - consuming work. Through his efforts Loyola University of Los Angeles will be¬ come known from seaboard to sea¬ board. Retreats Once again students are re¬ minded that a retreat must be completed during the current academic year. According to the present figures, few have fulfill¬ ed this requirement. Those con¬ cerned should make appropriate arrangements at some retreat house; or request the services of some Father to give said re¬ treat to a special group; or plan to spend the school holiday of Good Friday and Holy Saturday oh campus for the general re¬ treat. Werfel Panel Meets Here By STEVE LEFEVRE The late Austrian author, Franz Werfel, will be discussed by a panel of scholars and personal friends at Loyola University on Wednesday, February 19, at 11 a.m. The program will take place in Strub Memorial Theater at Loyola University. The public Author Franz Werfel is invited to attend this panel dis¬ cussion free of charge. Werfel, who is famous for his best-selling novel The Song of Bernadette, was bom in Prague when the Czech countries were part of the Austrian monarchy. He lived most of his adult life in Vienna and died in Beverly Hills in August, 1945. The fields of ly¬ ric poetry, theater, essays, novels and short stories, suffered a great loss following his death. He was also recognized for his leadership of the Expressionist Movement in literature. Dr. Robert O. Cleymaet, chair¬ man of the Department of Modern Languages, will moderate the pan¬ el of three of Franz Werfel's per¬ sonal- friends.
