Salinger Addresses Loyola Forum By TOM JOHNSON Managing Editor The Loyola Forum presents its first discussion on Wednesday, September 29, at 12:00 noon in Strub Theatre when Pierre Salin¬ ger is again scheduled to appear. Бх Ex-Senator Salinger, defeated by George Murphy in 1964 for his Sen¬ ate seat, has since been active in several enterprises. Currently, he is active in Carthay Pictures and the National General Corporation, and is President of a new com¬ pany, Continental Film Corpo¬ ration, a subsidiary of Continental Airlines, established to promote greater film opportunities abroad. He is currently returned from a trip to Europe doing such work. Mr. Saliher will speak on “The Kennedy Years Revisited,” remi¬ niscences from a book he is pre¬ paring for publication, ‘ ‘Lancer to Wayside.” Loyola Forum Mr, Salinger whs to present a similar lecture last year, but a scheduling discrepancy forced his last minute cancellation. The Loyola Forum is a new se¬ ries which is being scheduled to promote a dialogue between stu¬ dents and major speakers; an ex¬ change of opinions designed to pro¬ vide greater understanding of cur¬ rent events and controversies in our world today. The general for¬ mat will include a 20-minute talk by the guest speaker and a 25- mimite discussion period in which the speaker will answer questions from the audience. All students are urged to attend this new series. There have been complaints in the past that such activities have been lacking. This series is specifically designed to bring discussion of important is¬ sues into the open on campus. This event should not be missed. Mr. Salinger was for three years the Press Secretary for President John F. Kennedy, and in such a capacity was in intimate associa¬ tion with the late President during the many crises of Kennedy’s term in office. VOL. 43— No. 2 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES September 27, 1965 LEDESMA TALK FEATURES DR. MALIK SH M. 9UCE. SJ. 1895-1965 Rev. Hugh M. Duce, S.J. former President of the University and Director of Financial Aids, suc¬ cumbed to a heart attack during the night of June 3. Son of Herbert C, and Hilda S. Duce, Father Duce was born in Richmond, Virginia, on September 5, 1895. He moved with his family to New York, Chicago, and com¬ pleted his secondary education at St. Mary’s Kansas. Fr. Duce entered the first fresh¬ man class of Loyola College at Garvanza in 1914 where he found himself the recepient of the Loyola Medal, an award given by the col lege to the student distinguishing himself in his various lines of en¬ deavor. After four years at the Novitiate at Los Gatos, Fr. Duce persued his philosophical studies at Enghien, Belgium. He was ordained in 1928 by Bishop Lecompte of Ameins. Upon his return, he was appointed Dean of Men at Gonzaga Univer¬ sity. Fr. Duce’s appointment to the Presidency of Loyola in 1932 was unusual inasmuch as he was one of the youngest Jesuit’s to have ever been chosen for the execu¬ tive position. Moreover, he was the first alumnus of Loyola to serve his Alma Mater in this capacity. Fr. Duce, a member of the Jesuit Honor Fraternity, Alpha Sigma Nu, colored his term as President of Loyola University with his defi¬ nitive view of the good student— he is curious and is not satisfied with a mere superficial knowledge but is desirious of mastering the sub¬ ject in order to possess it— one who is not a bookworm , but has enough sense to take proper recreation and to engage in some extra cur¬ ricular activities for the develop¬ ment of his personality. Fr. Duce left Loyola again in 1937 to serve as Rector of Alma Fr. HUGH DUCE, S.J. College. He was not to return to the University until 1961 to serve as Director of Financial Aids until his death this summer. 'Hasty Heart1 Hastens To Curtain Call Oct. 8 The Del Rey Players, Loyola’s on-campus theatrical producing or¬ ganization will kick off its first planned full seasonal program of four plays with John Patrick’s HASTY HEART, on Friday, Oc¬ tober 8 in Strub Theatre. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. “The Del Rey Players group has undergone a full reorganiza¬ tion,” stated Joseph Arnett, the Players’ president. “For the first time in the University’s fifty year history a semi-formal structure has been designed to facilitate a more closely knit campus group of both cast participants and others interested in the overall concept of theatre. In past year, The Play¬ ers consisted of an appointed President and simply those stu¬ dents who actually participated in a particular production; this year a full slate of officers will direct the continuing group program which will consist not merely of the plays themselves but monthly meetings and certain soical ac (Continued on Page 2) UNITED NATIONS ASSEMBLY PRESIDENT TALKS THURSDAY On Thursday, September 30, at 8:00 p.m., the Loyola University Department of Education will pre¬ sent Charles H. Malik, Ph.D., LL.D., in St. Roberts Auditorium speaking on “The Struggle For Peace.” The Ledesma Lecture is an an¬ nual event sponsored by the De¬ partment of Education. Exclu¬ sively for the Regents and faculty of Loyola University and its sister colleges in this area, the Lecture is not open to the public. Begun in 1957, this series has recently pre¬ sented such prominent persons as Han Kung and Gabriel Marcel. Dr. Charles Malik, former Presi¬ dent of the United Nations Gen¬ eral Assembly and ex-Foreign Minister of Lebanon, is interna¬ tionally famed as an orator and political philosopher. He has held major posts in the service of his Fr. Caldwell Celebrates Annual Holy Spirit Mass The annual Mass of the Holy Spirit was celebrated last Friday, September 26th, in the Loyola Uni¬ versity Chapel of the Sacred Heart at 11:00 in the morning. The Mass, cGlebrated by Father Joseph R. Caldwell, University Chaplain, was of the dialogue type and was well-attended. The annual sermon of the Holy Spirit was delivered by Father George T. Dennis, S.J. The annual Mass is one of the oldest religious functions of the university. It is a function which has continued and has been handed down from class to class of first St. Vincent’s and then Loyola. In the Mass there are symbols of both the old and the new, the old in the fact that it is a religious tradition, and the new in the reali¬ zation that each year it is attended and offered by new students and faculty, a good sign of growth and promise for the future. Even more, the liturgical celebration unites in the common Christian prayer all segments of the university and its multifarious life. Students, admin¬ istration, and faculty ( in their academic robes) join together at the beginning of the school year to petition God the Holy Spirit for in¬ spiration and guidance in the scho¬ lastic year ahead. For the Holy Spirit to be invoked at the begin¬ ning of the academic year it is only fitting for the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity ijs the aid for all who study and work, read and compose, calculate and measure, criticize and discuss. And so, there is a sense of unmistakable unity and cohesiveness between the stu¬ dents and faculty as they join to¬ gether in praying to the one spirit of wisdom, theHolySpirit. We merely do not remember only ourselves but also the fourth and final session of the Second Vatican (Continued on Page 3) country such as Minister of Edu¬ cation and Ambassador of Lebanon to the United States, as well as serving as Chairman of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. He earned his Master’s and Doctor’s degrees at Harvard and since that time has been awarded forty hon¬ orary doctorates by Universities in the United States, Canada and Europe. Author of a number of books, his distinguished career in international politics has brought him decorations from a dozen countries.
