Talk With President
Business Head Resigns,
Marymount Decision Due
Dr. Wilbur Garrett, Dean of Loy¬
ola's College of Business for more
than 20 years, has tendered his res¬
ignation to University President
Charles S; Casassa, S.J. There was
no reason given and Dr. Garrett of¬
fered no comment when ques¬
tioned.
Dr. Garrett's resignation will
become effective in June, where¬
upon he will remain on the staff !
of the College of Business as a full-
professor. A selection board, rep¬
resenting the College of Business,
is being appointed by Fr. Presi¬
dent to select a successor.
Loyola students should know in
the near future whether or not the
University will become Affiliated
with Marypiount college. Accord¬
ing to the President, the final deci¬
sion rests in the hands of the supe¬
riors governing both colleges. At
present; the superiors have asked
for more information, and Father
President is in the process of pro¬
viding them with just that
DORM PLANS HELD UP
Due to difficulties in obtaining
complete financial support, the
proposed new residence hall will*
not be completed by the Fall of
1967, as had previously been hoped.
It would have been impossible to
fill the new hall to its almost
400 student capacity, and thus the
cost of room and board would have
been raised considerably.
The University is currently in¬
vestigating the possibilities of con¬
structing a series of smaller units,:
With room to build more, if needed.
Spring Budget Given to Legislature
ASLU Treasurer Jeff Bachman
presented a proposed budget for
the Spring Semester to the ASLU
Legislature last Wednesday night,
for their consideration. They will
vote on whether or not to approve
it this Tuesday night.
CUTBACKS JUSTIFIED
The budget itself is more than
double that for the Fall Semester,
but some of the individual com¬
mittee budgets have been cut. This
is required to operate the fooball
program. The proposed budget is
sixteen thousand, five hundred and
seventy-five dollars.
It was foreknowledge of this cut¬
back which caused some concern
during the last few weeks. Some
people felt that other areas of stu¬
dent government should not be
forced to suffer financially because
of football.
Bachman said ih a telephone in¬
terview that “We only cut things
that we didn't think: were absolute*
ly necessary." He also pointed out
that some committees will not be
conducting as many events as they
did last semester. For instance,
‘The Social Committee is only put¬
ting on one dance this semester, in
contrast to three in the fall.’'
By JIM BROCHU
Loyola’s Football Board of Con¬
trol announced the appointment of
Mr. Jim Brownfield as head foot¬
ball coach at the University, last
Wednesday in a news conference at
the Statler Hilton Hotel. The board
came to a decision after reviewing
the applications of thirty interested
parties and., interviewing thirteen
men.
Brownfield comes to Loyola from
Muir High School in Pasadena
where he had coached for the last
two years. This past season his
team was ranked4 eleventh in the
GIF and his two year record was
fourteen wins and six losses. He
has been the head coach in five
different sports at five different
schools. He has coached football,
track, cross country, basketball,
and tennis, and his overall ten year
record in all sports is an impres¬
sive two hundred ninety-two wins
against sixty-five losses.
Sold jn Program
According to s t u d e nt football
chairman, Pat Derdenger, the
maim reason for Brownfield’s selec¬
tion was the fact that he was the
candidate who was most sold on
Loyola's program. Even before he
was interviewed, Brownfield had
contacted high school players and
sold them on Loyola University.
Coach Brownfield feels that Loy¬
ola's football program should,
“. . . be kept within the financial
means of the Student Gomnoittee
at all times. That the football pro¬
gram must not restrict a student-
athletes’ academic program. That
the football program must be de¬
signed to be fun and in the best in¬
terests of the students."
Unique Challange
After being introduced to the
press, Mr. Brownfield issued a
statement expressing his feelings
on being selected as Loyola's coach’
“X consider it a real honor to be
asked to be Football Coach at
Loyola University because it not
only fulfills the aspiration of teach¬
ing football at the college level,
but also it presents such a unique
coaching challenge."
“In the first place, the students
have a realistic desire to have
football as a part of the intercol¬
legiate sports program. Realistic
enough that they are willing to tax
themselves to make the football
program ^reality. It is the students
themselves, with the good wishes
of the administration, that have
brought football back to the cam¬
pus of Loyola University. This up¬
surge of student interest is very
appealing to me and I. consider it
a real honor to be selected as their
Head Football Cdach."
System Changes
When asked what type of footbaU
system he uses, Brownfield ex¬
plained that his system* changes as
does his material.

Harvey Cox
Added interest in this speaker is
egendered by thje use of Dr. Cox's
book, The Secular City, in Senior
Theology courses at the University.
Mixed emotions have been de¬
rived from this new theology pro¬
posed by Dr. Cox.
FACULTY OPINION
Father David Fisher, S.J., Pro¬
fessor of Theology at the Univer¬
sity stated that ,” The book's cen¬
tral thesis is that Urbanization,
technology, and modern science
have so drastically altered the
course of human life, that man
must also alter his beliefs in order
to live in the ‘Secular City.'
“If Cox, together with the other
‘Death of God' theologians, claims
to represent the essential spirit of
contemporary Protestantism, then
we must arrive at the melancholy
conclusion th a t Protestantism
which began with a rejection of
Rome is ending with a rejection
of Christianity. Cox's book will cer¬
tainly cstuse the Catholic theologian
to have second thoughts about the
moral and intellectual health of
contemporary Protestantism."
General admission to the lecture
is $1.00, and Loyola students will
be admitted for $.50 upon presen¬
tation of ID cards.
