Students Show
Spirit; Rally
Behind Ruggers
There has been much talk about
student lack of concern, or “spirit,”
at Loyola. People have yelled, bled
internally, and planned bonfire
rallies with donated wood, and
danced at “a go go” mixers; yet
interest and spirit is greatest and
most spontaneous when generated
internally. This is supported by
the student and faculty support of
the Loyola Rugby team. The
rugby team, which had won nine
games while losing only two, was
invited to the Monterey Peninsula
Rugby Tournament. Two days be¬
fore departure the team learned
that no financial support would be
coming from the University, as
had been planned and expected.
At this point the students and the
team, began to operate. Organiza¬
tions were contacted, fraternities
were telephoned, Fr. Rolfs ob¬
tained free lodging for the team;
Father also gave a check for $50
for the trip.
By 11:00 a.m. Friday, with less
than a day and a half notice, the
students had come up with enough
money to guarantee Loyola partici¬
pation in the tournament. Thus
encouraged, Loyola went north to
win the respect of the teams, the
hearts of a normally impartial
crowd, and a winners plaque for
the school. The rugby team ac¬
knowledges the support of the fol¬
lowing groups:
ASLU $100, Dorms $75, Delta
Sigma Phi $25, Alpha Delta Gam¬
ma $25, TKE $25, Delta Sigma
Pi $25, Phi Sigma Kappa $25, Phi
Kappa Theta $7, Freshman Class
$20, IFC $25, Crimson Circle $25,
RSA $40, Arnold Air $25.

Dr. Aloia’s European
Tour Leaves in June
Glee Club Hosts Its
Greatest Spring Sing
On the night of April 24, the Loyola University Men’s
Chorus will present the annual musical production of the
year, the Spring Sing.
This year’s Spring Sing chair¬
man, Mike Finnegan, has said,
“the number of applicants this
year is far greater than ever be¬
fore, and the < quality of the ap¬
plicants far exceeds that of all
previous shows. This allows the
Glee Club to be extremely selec¬
tive, and is a guarantee that those
who will be performing on the 24th
will be of the highest quality of
musical talent and ability.
But another written guarantee
of having an enjoyable and enter¬
taining evening is the fact that
Morry Amsterdam (of the popular
Dick Van Dyke show) will be the
master of ceremonies. This gentle¬
man is unmistakeably a show in
himself, and will surely help to
ease the tensions of those partici¬
pating for the trophies as well as
those in the audience cheering
them on.
Judges Not Yet Selected
The actual judges of the Spring
Sing participants have not yet been
selected, but the possibilities are
as follows: Johnny Green, Jimmy
Van Huesen, Meredith Wilson, Di¬
mitri Tiomkin, Alfred Newman,
Roger Wagner and Paul Salamuno-
vich.
The show will be held in the
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium
and will begin at 8 p.m. on the
night of the 24th (Saturday). Appli¬
cations have already been received
from I.H.C., Mount St. Mary’s,
(uptown and downtown), Mary-
mount and, of course, Loyola. Tick¬
ets will go on sale in the bookstore
on Monday, April 5, and will be
$1.50, $2.00 and $2.50.
For those not acquainted with
the Spring Sing, it is the annual
event where students from the lo¬
cal Catholic colleges of the Los
Angeles area have a chance to get
together and enjoy and express
themselves through music. There
are four different divisions in
which groups may participate:
Men’s, women’s, mixed choral
and novelty divisions. As in the
past, these groups will be compet¬
ing for trophies in each of the
divisions.
ECUMENICAL SERIES TO DISCUSS
AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY
On Friday April 2 at 11:00 A.M. the Chaplains First
Friday program will present the last lecture in the ecumeni¬
cal movement series in Strub Theatre.
These lectures, fostered by the^~
spirit of the Vatican Council, have
been presented in conjunction with
the current effort to unite the
Christian and Jewish communities.
Past lectures have been given by
members of the Protestant commu¬
nity, and this lecture will present
a spokesman for the Southern Cali¬
fornia Jewish community.
The lecture, entitle^ “The Jew In
The Mind of America,” will be
presented by Mr. Neil Sandberg,
Regional Director of the American
Jewish Committee. Even in Ameri¬
ca today, the Jewish community
has yet to be fully accepted into
our social life. This lecture will
reflect on some of these problems,
presenting a contemporary picture
of the Jew in America.
Mr. Sandberg is a member of the
staff of the Loyola University Hu¬
man Relations Workshop and has
served as a consultant to the Edu¬
cation Committee of the Los An¬
geles County Commission on Hu¬
man Relations. He is currently re¬
sponsible for the programming and
communal services of the Ameri¬
can Jewish Committee throughout
the Pacific Southwest Region. In
addition, he is responsible for
planning and coordinating of mem¬
bership and fiscal programs in the
thirteen Western states through
the newly formed AJC Western
Region.
A native of New York City, Mr.
Sandberg is a graduate of Colum¬
bia University. He also attended
the New* York School of Social
Work, where he studied in the
field of community organization. A
resident of Southern California for
six years, he is married and has
one son.
All the faculty and students are
cordially invited to this final lec¬
ture in the ecumenical movement
series.
