And, as everyone who bought a social calendar knows, the first get-together of the fall season is at the near-by multi-million dollar International Hotel. The Brawl Ball, as the ASLU sponsored dance is* appropriately A4LU% that no one seems to have heard of. termed, is traditionally the occa¬ sion for all the Loyola lushes to bring in the academic year with the least possible finesse. The huge International ballroom, the largest ballroom in Los Angeles, will undoubtedly provide even the most avid rock-and-roller with enough elbow room to express himself. And the new 90-foot bar should also be ample for those who choose to exercise their elbows in a different fashion. MYSTERY BAND Social Chairman Tom Raycraft through his noted political ingenu¬ ity has successfully reduced the price of bids to a meager $3.00. He has also contracted the infamous Mystery Band, a tremendous group BIDS ON SALE To expiate for the mass confusion that was caused last year in the bookstore when the bids went on sale, the Social Committee has con¬ centrated to sell them in the Lair as well this year. So, for all dance hopefuls, it is advised that tickets be purchased at the beginning of this week. As for dates, something that very seldom presents any real problem for the typical Loyola undergrad, you had better line one up. The Ball is this Friday, Sept. 25, and is scheduled to begin at nine. The International Hotel, wherein you will find, surprisingly enough, the International Ballroom, is located at the entrance to the Los Angeles Airport. Frosh Triump in Brawl Closing Initiation Week The sophomore initiation committee, made up of Mike Bradshaw, Pete Boland, Mike Kane, Jim Jertson, Terry Dris- kill and Greg Hayes, began to plan initiation week late in May, 1964. All through the summer months the work con¬ tinued and the result was the most well-planned initiation in Cantlen Receives Loyola Medallion James S. Cantlen, retired Vice President and General Manager of Pacific Telephone and a Loyola Regent received Loyola Univer¬ sity’s Fifth Annual Citizenship Day Award, Thursday, Sept. 17, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. More than 800 southland, civic, business, and educational leaders saw Cantlen receive the award for “his distinguished service to country and community.” Cantlen was introduced by Edgar F.

In the year of its Golden Jubilee the school looked forward to an in teresting and highly-competitive freshman welcome week. But it never came. The week passed by with only a faint glimmer of past initiations and most people were unaware that anything was happen-j ing. And who was to blame? The freshman class. MISSED THE BOAT Certainly, in planning the week, the sophomores made plans for some rebellion. They had rebelled themselves only a year before. But rebellion can only go so far in something like an initiation, and then the entire proceedings become a farce. This is what happened. The so-called leaders of the fresh¬ men class convinced their ignorant classmates that complete revolt was the only way to win the initia¬ tion week. They were wrong. It won’t work if the freshmen don’t cooperate at least partially Obviously, if an entire freshmen class ignores the rules of initiation most of them get away with it. It would take an all-out war to set them in their place, and this is not the intention of the freshmen wel¬ come week. Initiation presupposes reasonable cooperation from every¬ one. This is where the freshmen missed the boat. We can only hope that their mistake was an honest (Continued on page 2) Mass of Holy Spirit to Be Celebrated This Friday The annual Mass of the Holy Spirit will be celebrated this Friday, September 25th, at 11 a.m., on the Regent's Terrace, according to an announcement by Rev. Joseph R. Caldwell, S.J., University Chaplain. All members of the Ad¬ ministration, Faculty and Student Body are expected to be present and participate in this annual Mass asking the bless¬ ing of the Holy Spirit upon the academic year. This year the Mass will be cele-’f^ brated outside on the Regent’s Ter¬ race at an hour when all members of the University community can participate. It will be a low Mass, with dialogue and congregational singing. Father Caldwell, S.J., will celebrate the Mass and preach the sermon. Mr. Donald Johnson, S.J. will act as Commentator and Mr. Paul Salamunovich, a recent addi¬ tion to the Loyola faculty will lead the singing. All members of the Faculty, both Jesuit and Lay, as well as Administrators will wear aca¬ demic gowns and will be seated on the Terrace. The members of the Senior Class in coat and tie will also be seated on the Ter¬ race, and march in procession with the Faculty from St. Rob¬ ert’s auditorium to the Regent’s Terrace. All of the above are asked to meet in St. Robert’s auditorium at 10:50 a.m. to dress in academic gowns and form the procession. J u л i о r $, Sophomores and Freshmen are asked to dress in white shirts and ties and sit with the members of their respective class. The Crimson Circle mem¬ bers will usher at the Mass, the hope that all members of the University community will cooper¬ ate to make this important func¬ tion an outstanding event in the academic year. JAMES STEWART Loyola’s Citizenship Day observ¬ ance during the third week of September also commemorates the signing of the United States Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. With the renewed effort to stress the significance of citizenship on a nationwide scale, this observance serves to call upon all citizens— both native and foreign bom— “to renew and reaffirm their faith in the principles and ideals embodied in the Constitution— the foundation of our strength and the symbol of freedom and justice for all.” CARDINAL PRESIDES AT LAW SCHOOL BLESSING The blessing and preview of Loyola University's new School of Law facility in downtown Los Angeles took place on Wednesday, September 9, at 6 p.m. at the building's loca¬ tion at Ninth and Valencia Streets. His Eminence James Francis Cardinal McIntyre presideded at the ceremonies of the blessing. The new structure, which re places the school’s present building at 1137 South Grand Ave., will be formally dedicated on November 22, the date of the assassination of the late President, John F. Ken¬ nedy. During construction of the build ing last fall, an anonymous group of friends of the university in¬ formed Father Casassa of their wish to contribute $100,000 for a moot court and auditorium in the new building. The auditorium would be named in honor of Pres¬ ident Kennedy. The new school of law building, designed and engineered by Albert C. Martin and Associates, consists 'of two stories of steel frame and jg - - - j - j - S - - concrete with a partial basement The interior core of the first floor consists of three large am¬ phitheater-type classrooms, two smaller classrooms for^seminar use, and the moot court mom and auditorium. The moot court and the largest classroom, will be equipped with movie and television projection fa¬ cilities. Administration offices, faculty offices and a lounge and student organization areas are on the first floor. The second level of the building will be devoted almost entirely to the law library, which will event¬ ually hold over 100,000 volumes in the next few years. Study carrels and tables will accommodate over (Continued on page 2)
