The Los Angeles Loyolan, Volume 43, Issue 12 - February 14, 1966

Vol. 43— No. 12 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES February 14, 1966 Homecoming Week Opens With Dance QUEEN AND COURT TO BE PRESENTED AT THE DANCE By HAL BRITTINGHAM As the month of February drags to a close the final plans are being carefully laid for Loyola’s thirty-ninth annual homecoming. The theme of this year’s Homecoming Carnival is Gay Nineties: For the past several months the Homecoming Committee has put much time and effort into the planning of all the stages of the Homecoming Celebration in the hope that this year will be the best in the school’s history. Queens Chairman Terry Driskill has done a remarkable job select¬ ing thirty-six young lovelies who will vie for Loyola’s homecoming Queen. The girls will be presented before the twelve sponsoring or¬ ganizations who will limit the num¬ ber to two from each school. Throughout the week the girls will grace the campus with their beauty trying to win the honored spot. Voting will be held on Wednesday to limit the competition to one girl from each school and again on Friday to select the queen and her court. The Queen will be presented at the Homecoming Dance on Sat¬ urday, February 19. In conjunction with the fast-ap¬ proaching “Gay Nineties” Home¬ coming Celebration, the A.S.L.U., under the able direction of Social Chairman Hal Barlow, will host its annual Homecoming Dance on the night of Saturday, February 19, between 8:30 p.m. and 1 a.m. The site of this premiere event will be the Del Mar €lub in Santa Monica, “where Pico meets the sea.” Entertainment will be amply provided by the ‘sophisticated’ sounds of the rockin’ “Starfires,” a fantastic group newly arrived from Las Vegas. Bjds are selling like hotcakes in “Norma’s hut” — for the low, low price of only $3 pr-r-r couple. (But for those who like to scramble for dates at the last minute, bids will also be avail¬ able at the dance.) Once again, for your benefit, the no-corsage rule will be in effect. This year’s Homecoming Dance promises to be a most gala affair, indeed. In addition to the usual bumping and grinding, our beauti¬ ful Queen and her court will be pre¬ sented by a guest celebrity to the great throungs in attendance,' thus marking the beginning of a busy week of preparation for the Car¬ nival. In order that everyone may join in the nite-long toasting to the lovely Queen and her court, two well-stocked bars have been re¬ served and are located on the Mali¬ bu Terrace overlooking a hopefully moonlit Pacific Ocean. The setting will be just right. So if you missed New Year’s Eve, you uudon’t want to miss this historic event— be “where Pico meets the sea” Saturday night, February 19th.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 11. —John C. Wessel, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Wessel, 11445 Che- nault Street, Los Angeles, Calif., was commissioned a second lieu¬ tenant in the Reserve component commissioning exercises held at of the United States Air Force at Loyola University. Lieutenant Wessel attended Cha- minade High School, Los Angeles, Sundays & Cybele Presented Feb. 17 This Thursday, February 17, at 7:30 in Strub, the Cultural Com¬ mittee will present the Academy Award winning film Sunday and Cybele. This film portrays the conflict between a cynical world and the pure at heart. It is a romance which sings of an impossible love. Pierre, an amnesiac is in love with Cybele, an eleven-year-old. The film is a modern myth. Cybele according to Greco-Roman mythology was the goddess of the earth in its primitive state. Things and creatures obey her, she is irresistible. The story is moving and credible due chiefly to the ex¬ cellent performances of Patricia Gozzi and Hardy Krugger. The film ha$ won every inter¬ national award. It is rare that such a fine film as this is shown on our campus; it should not be missed. The Student Publications Com¬ mittee opened deliberations last Thursday, Feb. 10, to cpnsider the formation of editorial principles designed to serve as guidelines for the three University-wide student publications. The two-hour long meeting, at¬ tended by Fr. Markey, Fr. Rolfs, Dr. Carothers, Dr. Mitchell, Mike Rose, Steve Lefevre and Jim Free¬ man, was the first in a series of meetings opting for a more defini¬ tive and workable statement con¬ cerning the degree of latitude open to the editors of the Loyolan, El Playano, and the Lair. The com¬ mittee’s recommendations will be sent to Fr. President. The meeting of the Student Pub¬ lications Committee was triggered by the deleting of two articles written by Jerry Boyd and Mike Maloney from the Loyolan. The subsequent furor resulted in the necessity of consulting the Com¬ mittee to review the Boyd article and further to specify what can and cannot be permitted in the student publications. Maloney has issued an addition¬ al statement demanding a clarifi¬ cation by the Publications Com¬ mittee as to why his article was not allowed to appear in the last issue of the paper. As to why at the present time, the articles, both dealing with clerical censorship, have not been permitted to appear, the following statement was made. In forbidding publication of the articles in question submitted to the Loyolan, the decision made was the only action which could be taken under the regulations pub¬ lished by the California Province governing student publications on college campuses. Whether these regulations are, under present con¬ ditions, the best and wisest prin¬ ciples under which a campus pub¬ lication can operate is the question that is under consideration. The Student Publications Committee met on Thursday, Feb. 10, to dis¬ cuss the principles involved and wih continue its deliberations in future meetings with the view in mind of making recommendations for changing present policy to Fa¬ ther Presdent f t seems proper. The future meetings will formu¬ late recommendations intended to clarify the jurisdiction of the edi¬ tor, moderator, and the Publica¬ tions Committee itself
