Campus Remains Calm > Outside Pressure Strong By JOHN SOLTESZ Rarely before has an academic community, which has reached an agreement within itself on the subject of a controversial speaker, come under such large-scale attack from those outside its walls. The organized off-campus dissention first made its appearance on April в1виив|в>в1виии|ии||1иииввии|и— ... 26, when a group of about fifty people gathered near Regent’s Terrace and began public recitation of the The Thursday portion of the series, “Hallucenogens and the Religious Ex¬ perience,” will take place in St. Roberts Auditorium at 8 p.m. The panel discussion will include Dr. Edward Maupin of the Esalen Insti¬ tute (Big Sur), Dr. Marcella McGlothlin, Rev.

It has continued in the form of a long series of personal letters and phone calls to Father Casassa, Father Terry, and other Uni¬ versity administrators, and has reached its peak in three printed letters which are now being distributed throughout the Southland. The first of these letters, from the “Concerned Men of Loyola” (see Loyolan May 1, 1967), is a “State¬ ment of Facts” concerning communism and a “State¬ ment of our Beliefs as Cath¬ olics regarding communism.” This communication has (Continued on Page 13) Sidney Raycraft Mass Tomorrow Loyola and the brothers of Alpha Delta Gamma will of¬ fer a Mass tomorrow at 9 :00 a.m. in Sacred Heart Chapel for Mr. Sidney Raycraft, father of Jim and Jerry Ray¬ craft of Loyola University. The 49-year-old Mr. Ray¬ craft was fatally stabbed in an apparently unprovoked attack last Tuesday in Len¬ nox as he walked home dur¬ ing his lunch hour. Police, who arrested on£ man in con¬ nection with the killing, said the motive was apparently robbery. The funeral Mass was held Saturday at St. John’s in Hyde Park. University Budget Pinch Probable Eight more faculty mem¬ bers, and higher pay for all profs, coupled with no fore¬ seeable enrollment increase or tuition jump will probably force a University-wide budget-cut averaging 5 per cent, Academic Vice-Presi¬ dent Fr. Thomas Terry said last week. Some cuts would then be larger than others. But this will not be determined until early Octo¬ ber of next year, when actual enrollment figures are avail¬ able. While enrollment is cer¬ tainly a key factor, increased gifts and donations to the University could stem the tide of thrift. The situation, however, remains somewhat provi- s i о n a 1 . Each department head or moderator has three alternative budgets : (1) this year’s budget, (2) 5 per cent more than this year’s budg¬ et, and (3) 5 per cent less than this year’s budget, which is in effect through October. At that time, the University Budget Com- (Continued on Page 14) '’■^гкгжяшшяшшшт^ LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT ANNOUNCEMENT DINNER — Notables sitting at speakers' table include (from right to left) Fritz Burns, Sr. M.

Maloney Nominated for Award, May Decline ASLU President Mike Maloney was nominated to receive the Ignation Award in last month’s general elections, the ASLU revealed last week. The 149 votes for Maloney were more than double the count received by the near¬ est contender, Biology Society President Dave Plotner. Plotner had 72 votes, and Sen¬ ior Class President Jim Jertson received 48. With his 77-vote margin, it is a good bet that the Student Affairs Committee, which voted privately last week, will give Maloney the award. But sources close to the ASLU have in¬ dicated that the Student Body President may not be willing to accept the award. Ob¬ servers have noted that Maloney was quite upset that he might 'have to accept an award that he believes was dishonored last year. Last year the Ignation Award was not presented. The students voted by a sub¬ stantial margin to give the award to ASLU President Jim Freeman. But Freeman had led the so-called “march on the Chancery,” on April 6, 1966. Although the belief was never officially confirmed, there was cam¬ pus-wide suspicion that the Student Affairs Committee did not grant Freeman the award because of the protest. The ASLU President is said to be ser¬ iously deliberating what he will do if the award is presented to him at the Convoca¬ tion this Friday. If the award is presented to the ASLU President, it is altogether pos¬ sible that he will decline it. INSIDE • • • • Terry Tops . . Page 2 "Bankruptcy" . . Page 3 Editorals . . .
