CIRCLE OUT FOR
BLOOD
Thespians Perform
In Strub Theatre
Judge Burke
Appointed to
Superior Court
The Del Rey Players’ production of Emmet Lavery’s
“Monsignor’s Hour” and Irwin Shaw’s^ “Bury the Dead” con¬
tinues this week, in Strub Theatre on campus.
The two one-act plays deal with the basic futility and
uselessness of war while at the same time treating the
similiar thematic concepts in almost antithetical style.
Judge Louis H. Burke, residing
justice of the Second District Court
of Appeal Division IV was named
to the State Supreme Court by Gov.
Edmond G. Brown on November 6.
Following his graduation from
Montebello High School, he en¬
rolled in Loyola University from
which he graduated in 1926, earn¬
ing two degrees simultaneously,
Ph.D cum laude and LL.B. He then
entered private practice. In 1928
he was appointed City Attorney for
his home town, and in 1932 he be
came legal counsel for the League
of California Cities.
In 1943 he was commissioned a
Captain in the Army of the United
States. He served until 1946, when
he was discharged with the rank of
Major. From 1946 to 1951 he was a
member of the Veterans Board of
the State of California,
Judge Burke's career on the
begdh ’trr;i^l7’awheiT he -wasf
appointed to the Superior Court by I
Governor Earl Warren. Troubled
by the rising divorce rate in Los
Angeles, Judge Burke volunteered
in 1952 to take oyervthe Domestic
Relations with the view of attempt-
DAN RICHARDS (left) and Larry Agriesti enact a scene from the
Loyola production of "Bury the Dead" now playing in Strub theatre
through November 21.
“Monsignor's Hour,”, first pub¬
lished in Stage Magazine in Janu¬
ary, 1936, is a stirring drama
alive with the tranquility of true
peace and rich in the impact of
true theatre. Originally written as
a vehicle for Whitfork Kane, the
Monsignor of the “First Legion”
and Pedro de Cordoba, the Father
Sierra of the same play, it had its
American premiere at the Chicago
Theological Seminary on March 17,
1936. The play was presented in
the seminary chapel with Congre-
gationalist seminarians in the garb
of cardinal and priest.
“Bury the Dead” had its Ameri¬
can premiere in 1935 when it was
produced in New York by the New
Theatre Company. The play, by the
author of “The Young Lions,” has
been accorded as one of the finest
pieces of one-act playwriting in this
century. Johann Sleuver of the
Veinna Free Press, on viewing the
European tour soon after the play
was written, stated: “The author's
almost total objectivity and sense
of introspect leaves the viewer
with little or no argument save,
perhaps, the basic quality of Greek
‘hamartia’ which admits a univer¬
sal flaw in all human beings.”

includes: David Rock, G. Monihan,
Ron Addock, John keber, Jeanette
Daunora, Constance Schneider, Pe¬
ter Szondy, Nancy ^ufrows, Mi

Crimson
Circle Sponsors
Annual Red Cross Drive
Next Wednesday, November 18,
the Crimson Circle will sponsor the
Annual Blood Drive from 10:00 to
2:30 in the President’s Lounge. The
Blood Drive has always drawn
quite a bit of student response,
to the point of always filling our
expected quota. Last year, because
of the tragedy of November 22, the
Red Cross was unable to accomo¬
date all those who generously and
spontaneously wished to donate. It
has always been a button in our
beret that we have always filled
our quota and we expect to do the
same this year with your coopera¬
tion. This is a purely charitable
action which will discomfort no one
any more than a slight loss of
time. And so we urge you, the stu¬
dents, to help as much as you can
this worthwhile project which is
primarily for your benefit.
Day students can sign up in the
Lair with Bill Fields from 11:00 to
1:00 during the week. Resident stu¬
dents will be contacted privately
in the dorms or can get in touch
with any member of the Crimson
Circle. Chairman of this undertak¬
ing is Dick Maurer, the recently
elected V.P. of the Circle. Any fur¬
ther information can be obtained
from Chairman Dick Maurer, Co-
Chairman Mike Kenney, or from
any member of the Circle.
Cadets to Get Merits
This Drive is co-sponsored by
the Arnold Air Society and all
cadets who donate blood will be
awar ded merits . All types of blood
are needed, so sign up now in the
Student Union and remember that
the thanks will not come from the
University as much as from the
people whom you will be helping.
Relations Commission
Initiates Loyola Days
Perhaps you have wondered about the large number of
high school students who have been rambling about our cam¬
pus. That they are part of a conspiracy to steal Aristotle is
Untrue. Actually they are thA
have been invited here by the
to participate in Loyola Days.
School Relations Cmomission, a
student group which was formed
to aid in the recruitment of top
caliber high school seniors. Through
Loyola Days the commission hopes
to acquaint the seniors with the
university and enccurage them to
enroll here.
Five Man Bo: rd
The commission consists of 30
prominent Loyolans, and is directed
by a five-man board which includes
Tom Leonard, John Cole, Bob
Hlad, Greg Rush, and Peter Bo¬
land. H. J. Cashin Jr. is their ad¬
visor. The commission has two
fundamental goals: first it wants to
attract to Loyola the best high
school seniors; second it plans to
recruit a more diversified student
body, one that will represent all
sections of the country and all
phases of intellectual activity. The
commission seems dedicated to the
idea that the vitality of a college
flourishes or withers according to
the quality of its intellectual vigor
and diversity.
Road Trips>
In pursuit of a more cosmopoli¬
tan campus community, the com¬
mission has initiated a series of
road trips designed to attract to
Loyola students living outside the
Los Angeles archdioses. The road
trips will be carried out by seven
slide lectures about student life at
Loyola. They also instruct the stu¬
dents about admission proceedures
guests of the university and
School Relations Commission
Loyola Day is a project of the
and college costs. This year the
team plans to visit over 100 high
schools in five western states. They
will travel as far north as Washing¬
ton, and as far east as Texas. As
one can easily see theirs is a her¬
culean endeavor. Arid one can bet¬
ter appreciate their dedication when
one realizes that they donate most
of their free time to this project,
and refuse pay!
Four Years of Success
The success of their project has
become evident. Since its inception
in 1960, every area visited by the
road teams has responded with an
increase in admission applicants
to Loyola. Due in part to the efforts
of the road teams, the university’s
enrollment from Arizona has in¬
creased from four in 1960 to 60 for
this fall semester! The administra¬
tion has been so pleased with the
commissions progress that its budg¬
et has been enlarged arid its itiner¬
ary has been expanded to cover
five western states.
The tone and thrust of the com¬
missions activities have been di¬
rected toward enriching the uni¬
versity, and providing its students
with a more rewarding collegiate
carrer. The young men of the com¬
mission examplify the best qualities
of Loyola. Their great dedication
and the success of their organiza¬
tion are worthy of your attention
zmd esteem.
