Jim Freeman, in one of the most
tightly contested presidential races
Loyola students have experienced,
was victor over Jim Jertson late
Friday afternoon. The unusually
heavy balloting seesawed between
the two candidates through most
of morning polling, but by three
o’clock, Freeman’s election was as¬
sured by a handful of votes.
In the only other A.S.L.U. con¬
test to go into a run-off, Joe Davis
proved too strong for Hal Barlow
and was successful in his bid for
the vice presidential office.
Vince Esposito, in his second
attempt to gain the class presiden¬
tial position, defeated Pat Derden-
ger for Sophomore Class president.
The droves of freshmen at the polls
forced this run-off to be extremely
close also, and voting supervisor,
Louis Mortillaro, was unable to
declare Esposito victorious until
well after the booths had been
closed.
In the RSA elections, George
Shows won out over Jim Mizerski
for the presidential spot. Terry
O’Rielly was selected vice president
over Larry Agriesti, and Andy Dob¬
son won the secretary-treasurer
position.
Both the offices of Student Body
secretary and treasurer were filled
without a run-off. Don Castro, the
lone aspirant for the ASLU Secre¬
tary spot, was elected on a yes or
no basis on Wednesday. John Dirks,
of the Business college, was select¬
ed to fill the vacancy left by Rod
Omellas in the ASLU Treasurer
position.
The Junior Class elections, Jim
Nevins won out over Bruce Blau
for the presidential post, while Steve
Spraker took the office of vice presi¬
dent. Tim Buynak, who was select¬
ed to fill the position of Senior
Class secretary-treasurer, was the
only candidate for the office and
thus also was elected on a yes or
no vote.
In the most tightly contested
race, that for the office of Junior

Class president, Mike McCullough
slipped past Mike Kane for a
Wednesday victory. The other class
officers who will work with Mc¬
Cullough in the Legislature are
Phil Palma, as vice president and
Greg Good as secretary-treasurer.
The Freshman Class shunned its
class president as it selected the
officers for next year. Dave Boxell,
who was the class president failed
to tally sufficient votes to be moved
into a run-off on Friday.
Vince Esposito, in the presiden¬
tial run-off with Pat Derdenger,
reigned the victor after the final
tabulation.
Joe Ashby, who was selected on
Wednesday, will assist Esposito in
the vice-presidential slot and Wally
Wade will serve as the class sec¬
retary treasurer.

Debaters Make Finals
On West Point Tour
BLUEGRASS WILL REIGN,
DILLARDS IN CONCERT'
Bill Waysman and Terry O’Reilly
made the finest showing a Loyola
debate team has ever made in the
National Debate Tournament at
West Point, New York on April
21-24. O’Reilly and Waysman were
one of two teams in the tournament
On Friday, May 14, the Associ¬
ated Students will co-sponsor with
the Freshman class the annual
Loyola Summer Concert in the
Orville Wright High School Audi¬
torium. More details will be made
available as the tittle for this event
approaches. The talent for this
event will include the Dillards,
Jonnie Denver, and Hoyt Axton.
The Dillards are one of the most
widely known bluegrass outfits
around today, and have done much
to bring this purely American type
of folk music to the attention and
appreciation of the general public.
By elimiftating the screeching off-
key tenor wails commonly associ¬
ated with this brand of music, the
group has presented their music in
a manner that has been enjoyed by
millions, and have still retained the
essential sound that sets bluegrass
apart from all other types of sing¬
ing.
THE DILLARDS, one of the most popular folk singing groups from
England is scheduled to appear at Orville Wright Jr. High on the
night of May 14.
that won seven out of their egiht
power - matched preliminary
rounds. On the basis of their un
surpassed preliminary round re¬
cord, they qualified as a finalist in
the meet. - (
California Teams Sweep
District I, which includes the
state of California, was the only
one of the eight districts to qualify
all four of its representatives for
the elimination rounds. In fact,
three of the top five, and four of
the top eight seeded teams at the
end of the prelims were from Cali¬
fornia— Loyola, Redlands, U.S.C.,
and San Fernando Valley State. The
forty top team in the country par¬
ticipated.
O’Reilly 6th in Nation .
Among the teams which Ways¬
man and O’Reilly defeated wfere
Northwestern University, George¬
town, Wake Forest, Dartmouth,
M.I.T., Notre Dame, and Brandeis
University. O’Reilly was selected
as one of the six outstanding de¬
baters out of a total of eighty in
the tournament, and Waysman was
close behind him, averaging only
two points less per ballot on a fifty-
point scale. O’Reilly and Waysmqn
had the third highest winning per¬
centage in the tournament.
Mr. George A. Schell, Loyola’s
director of forensics, was elected
chairman of West Point District I
next year. Thus he will become one
of the eight district chairman to
serve on the steering committee
of next year’s National Debate
Tournament.
Mistake Found
In Sing Tally
Due to an error in the tally of
the ballots for Spring Sing, a new
winner has been announced in the
Novelty Division. The new winner
in the four and under classification
is the Two Guitars Plus One which
was under the direction of Kitty
Carton. The old winner, Us Three,
under the direction of Sue Reddy,
were informed of the “mistake”
and were somewhat disappointed.
The decision met with the approval
of the administrations of Loyola
and the Mount Uptown.
Hoyt Axton is one of the major
contributors to the folk tradition in
America today. Having learned his
songs and his style from some of
the all-time greats in the field, his
many tunes are presented with all
the language and emotion that is
associated with the lives' of the
people who composed them.. His
delivery is not “faked” in any
sense save that at times he may
become so involved in his songs
that he seems to dismiss the audi¬
ence from his consciousness.
Jonnie Denver Reappears
Also appearing on the program
is scheduled J onnie Denver, a sing¬
er who has only lately come to
the musical fore. He promises an
evening of exciting sounds, even
better than his performance with
the Backporch Majority in the fall.
Again this year the Student Ad¬
ministration is offering the student
body some great talents in a spe¬
cial concert for Loyola. These per¬
formers deserve the full support of
students, who will not be disap¬
pointed. Let’s fill that auditorium.
As the end of the academic year
rolls around, it is once again time
for the annual Loyola Belles Luau,
hosted by the belles from all the
Catholic girl colleges in the Los
Angeles Area. The Luau, which will
take place on Sunday, May 16th,
will most probably be held at Lake
and Channel Park, a park located
near Malibu Beach, bn Mullolland
Drive. For many reasons, this
year’s Luau promises to be one
of the best in the history of the
annual get-together. Chairman of
the Belles committee sponsoring
the Luau is Senior Pete Boynton
who promises a full day of danc¬
ing, games, and general activities.
The admission price will be $1.50
for the entire day and tickets may
be purchased in the bookstore. Mu¬
sic will be provided and included
in the admission price is food, con¬
sisting of hot dogs, beans, etc.
Liquid refreshment will be served
and will cost ten cents a glass.
The Luau will last from about two
in the aftemon to ten at night.
The day promises fun for all who
attend, and the hard work and co¬
operation of the belles so far will
surely make the day a pleasant
one. It is expected that last year’s
attendance of 400 persons at the
luau can be doubled and the entire
event a general success.
Pete Boynton, Belles Chairman,
said that this year’s Luau promises
to be one of the best in many years
because of the unique environment
offorded by the nearby beach and
the increased enthusiasm on the
part of the girls. Last year the
Luau was held at the John Carroll
Ranch, situated in the beautiful
hills of the San Fernando Valley.
Those who plan to attend are re¬
minded to arrive early and stay
late.
THE LOYOLANS and dates pictured above are wearing the cos¬
tume that is the order for the day at the Belles Luau.
