CREW BOATHOUSE REFLECTS
SHELL TEAM'S
With racing season only a month
away, the Loyola Crew team is
looking, optimistically, to its finest
showing since the sport was in¬
augurated in 1958. Since that in¬
auguration Crew at Loyola has
made great strides forward under
the able tutorship of Head Coach
John Lind.
It has been due mainly to his
time and efforts that Crew has
risen from a floundering infant
sport to one of the major athletic
programs at the Loyola campus.
He started his program in 1962
with dreams of building, training

At Tourney
Bill Waysman and Terry O’Reilly
continued their winning ways by
making the best stowing of any
west coast team in the Heart of
America National Invitational De¬
bate Tournament at the University
of Kansas on March 12-14. They
tied for fourth place in the tourna¬
ment when they lost a close 2-1
decision to the team that won the
tournament. No other Loyola de¬
bate team has ever done so well
in this tournament which featured
iorty-eight of the top debate teams
from throughout the nation.
O’Reilly added iceing to the cake
when he received a plaque for
being one of the top three speak¬
ers in the tourney. In the pre¬
liminary rounds Terry and Bill
defeated teams from Dartmouth,
Baylor, Augustana, Kansas State,
, San Diego State and
another Baylor team in the octa-
final round before bowing out in

house
and equipping a Crew Team which
would do Loyola justice. His
dreams are slowly, but surely com¬
ing true. By mid-April Loyola will
boast one of the finest and the only
floating shell houses on the West
Coast. The massive 90 x 37 x 13
structure will be launched in
cross-town rival SC, at the San
Pedro Harbor. The Crew Team
extends a cordial invitation to the
students, faculty and supporters of
Loyola University to attend their
meets. They are looking forward
to a great year and they invite you

'Arsenic' Comes to
Loyola Next Month
The second Loyola University play of the academic year
1964-1965, "Arsenic and Old Lace/' is in the final stages of
preparation and work for its opening at the beginning of
next month. The play, which will be held in Stnib Memorial
Theatre, will be given six times and all are urged to attend.
“Arsenic and Old Lace” will be:$ - - -
presented by Loyola students in
four scenes. It is a four-act play.
The Loyola cast numbers eight
men and three women. The three
leading men are Larry Agriesti,
William Schaeffar, and Pete
Szondi. The three women are
Cathy Hoeffer and Sheila Fife
harris, both of whom come from
Mount St. Mary’s, and Hope Nie-
man. Loyola is indeed fortunate to
have the assistance of these peo¬
ple who have voluntarily given up
their free time to work till late
at night. Mr. Martial Capbem, Di¬
rector of the Del Rey players, is
extremely pleased with the job his
players are doing and is sure that
the play will be a large success
and an enjoyment to all who
attend.
In addition to the actors them¬
selves, there are many behind-the-
scene men who have worked hard
to make the play a success. A
complete stage setting has been
built by students.
“Arsenic and Old Lace” first
opened on Broadway in 1941. It
was written as a murder drama
by Joseph Kesselrmg. Yet, as the
show was seen by audiences all
over the country, the only response
elicited by it was humor. The play
was slightly rewritten and today it
remains as one of the most hu¬
morous murder mysteries in con¬
temporary American theatre.

Chaplain Views Self
Love As Big Step
Self-acceptance is a crucial step in learning to love both
ourselves and others. Without it we remain self conscious
and self centered, and we cannot establish the kind of rela¬
tionship with others which contributes to mutual growth.
What does it mean, and how is it achieved ?
It means that both on an in
tellectual and emotional level I
fully accept the person I know
myself to be; not the person I
would like to be; nor the person
others would like me to be; but
the person I am! A person with
certain inherited temperamental
traits and characteristics. A per¬
son with a certain family back¬
ground, who has been influenced
and to some extent determined by
environment. A person with cer¬
tain intellectual, emotional and
physical characteristics. A person,
too, who has been redeemed by
Christ in the saving waters of
Christian baptism. All of these
things make up the self whom I
strive to disciver; the self to whom
I refer my behavior whenever I
use the word I or Ego. This is
the person I must learn to accept.
Self acceptance^ is a learning
process. It takes a lot of time and
patience and prayer. It demands
a willingness to reflect upon my¬
self as the subject of my actions.
It demands, too, a willingness to
change those few things about my¬
self which can be changed. It also
demands a willingness to accept
limitations within myself and with¬
in the human situation which sur¬
rounds me. Failure to accept real
limitations is a failure to accept
the real self. Ultimately it means
the rejection of self, thereby mak¬
ing love of self and others im¬
possible.
Self acceptance is a difficult
process. It involves a certain
amount of inevitable suffering.
The suffering of loneliness; of
alienation from others; the suffer¬
ing of not being understood or
appreciated; the suffering of not
being able to communicate with
others. All of these things are part
of the human condition. Christ
Himself suffered them in His hu¬
man condition. Christ Himself suf¬
fered them in His human nature
and if we call ourselves Chris¬
tians we must be willing to share
in that suffering.
Self acceptance, like self knowl¬
edge, is a rewarding process. It
frees us from overdependence on
others and provides an inner
strength so necessary for our hu¬
man and spiritual growth as per¬
sons called to give witness to
Christ in the world.
