ference on Sunday, April 24. This
conference has been designed as a
service to Loyola students who are

Auw, C.P., will conduct the first
couples dialogue. Father Auw, a

groups in the Midwest and Pacific
Coast.

attending physician for Loyola Uni¬
versity, a member of AMA and as¬
sociated with Daniel Freeman and
Centinela Hospitals, will conduct
the second dialogue. This will be
followed by a question period in

NOTICE
It Is the responsibility of the
individual registrant to keep his
local board informed of his sta¬
tus. Educational institutions will
assist the student by furnishing
to the local board, at the stu¬
dent’s request, the information
that will make his status clear.
It is believed that as during
the Korean period, rank in class
or test score, whichever is high¬
er, will be used in determining
a student’s deferment.
Students who feel that their
class rank may not warrant a
deferment are advised to take
the College Qualification Test.
This test will be given on the
Loyola University campus on
May 14, May 21, and June 3.
Bulletins of Information and ap¬
plications are on hand in the
Office of the Registrar now.
Applications for all test dates
must be postmarked no later
than Saturday, April 23, 1966.
Mrs. Fredricks, a graduate of
Marquette in journalism, worked
as a social worker at the George¬
town University Hospital and is the
mother of four children.
Dr. Fredricks, a graduate of An¬
napolis, served in World War II as
a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, at¬
tended Marquette Medical School,
and worked in research medicine
at UCLA. Presently, he is in pri¬
vate practice in internal medicine
and hemotology. Both he and his
wife are active in several married
couples’ groups in Los Angeles.
The evening will conclude with a
discussion period, with all panel
members available for questions
and discussion.
Last year, when asked to com¬
ment on the value of the confer¬
ence, the following responses were
received:
“We have found the conference
helpful — it has brought us closer
together — we feel as emerging—
we found out what things needed to
be discussed with each other as we
make this very large decision—
the conference has reaffirmed and
cleanly focused the Christian good
for us — the comments by the mar¬
ried couples were most beneficial
because they were so realistic and
personal.”
The faculty O.L.A., which is com¬
posed of husbands and wives, con¬
tinues to express the hope that this
conference will continue to offer a
convenient opportunity of increas¬
ing the Christian awareness of the
married state to the Loyola student
and his wife or fiance.
For further information, an in¬
terested student may contact Dr.
Blystone, Mr. Callinan, Major
Garstka, Dr. Haggart, Dr. Tur-
hollow or Father Weber.

A. S. L. U. CANDIDATES
PRESENT PLATFORMS
I realize I am not the “favorite
son” candidate and that because
I have not run for elective office
before, I am considered an out¬
sider by the elite inner circles. This
however has not nor will discour¬
age my candidacy.
The last two and a half years I
have participated in the History
Society, Day Students’ Associa¬
tion Committee, Loyola Political
Action Committee, Arnold Air So¬
ciety and AFROTC. Also, in the
past, I have worked for various
candidates for student body offices.
I do not believe that the ASLU
Presidency should be handed to
anyone. It should be determined by
the members of the student body
as individuals not by collective
power coalitions. The Loyola stu¬
dents are not so naive as to be
stampeded into hasty decisions.

They have minds of their own. Ra¬
tionality, not gut emotion and fear,
is what is needed on this campus;
organization and planning, not dis-
sidence and petty jealousy.
I believe we should channel our
student government to student ori¬
entated activity. We should formu¬
late policies which will affect, di¬
rectly, student life at Loyola while
increasing the quality of our edu¬
cation.
I believe that the main issues of
this campaign are communication,
organization, unity and co-opera¬
tion. My platform is geared to¬
ward awakening the apathetic stu¬
dent body. My goal is to see Loy-
olans participate in all phases of
their government. I want to help
the students realize the goals of
their choice and not dictate what
these goals should be.
This year we confront a revolu¬
tion in Catholic education as evi¬
denced on college campuses all
over the nation. We can no longer
accept paternalism or tolerate ar¬
bitrary use of authority. Instead
we realize that our role as stu-
Mike Moloney
dents involves a real participation
in the authoritative affairs of the
University.
Ая,
members of the University
community, authority originates in
us as well as in the faculty and
the administration. Therefore, the
faculty, the administration, and
the students must complement one
another for the proper functioning
of the University.
Then it must be clear that the
student’s government does not ex¬
ercise only the authority delegated
by the administration. Rather it
possesses authority delegated by
the students.
Yet at Loyola student authority
lacks precise definition. Our chal¬
lenge is to define student author¬
ity without restricting it unneces¬
sarily or extending it extrava¬
gantly. Dialogue with the faculty
and administration will facilitate
our task.
Toegether we can attain more
freedom and responsibility as we
assert our authority. Together we
can create a . more modern Loyola.
Sophomores Pat Derdenger and
Dick Boland have announced their
plans to form a ticket and fun for
the Junior Class offices of Presi¬
dent and Vice-President.
The pair informed their class¬
mates of its intentions by mailing
a platform to all Class of ’68 mem¬
bers. The platform discusses what
the duo has planned in the way of
a class council, social events, fi¬
nancial policy and communica¬
tions. It suggests that the juniors
establish a class constitution, and
promises that a survey of all mem¬
bers will be taken, with the pur¬
pose of obtaining a consensus of
opinion on exactly what the class
wants, will sponsor, and will sup¬
port.
In discussing the philosophy of
his campaign, Pat said, “Our class
is not the same class now as it
was during our freshman year.
This last year has seen our class!
lose that ‘something extra’ which
set us apart from every other
freshman class. The residents of
our class are no longer boarding
in just Huesman and Sullivan
Halls, but are now spread out
through the whole dormitory sys¬
tem. Many of us have prior com¬
mitments to fraternities and other
responsibilities, and are not able
to devote full time to the class. We
must realize this; we are not the
same class that was full of spirit
and unity. We must look at our
class through a ‘New Perspective/
Our program is based on this reali¬
zation.”

presently Junior Class Sec.*Treas.,
candidate for the office of Student
Body Vice-President.
A most important responsibility
Greg Good
of the legislature is its power to
pass resolutions or recommenda¬
tions. Theoretically representing
all students and organizations on
campus, the legislature should be
an active voice or arm of the stu¬
dents. The legislature should help
interpret changing attitudes on
campus, applying pressure in an
intelligent, effective manner, where
necessary to further the students’
interests. Concretely, this means
expressing our views on the cam¬
pus parking situation; the recent
“protest march”— the way it was
handled and its effects; the pro¬
posed football team; guest speak¬
ers; or the Loyolan as a “student
publication”.
