Eos fin m oyoUn Vol. 44— No. 4 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES October 10, 1966 Loyola's Open House Sunday Oct. 15 Retreat in Malibu Offered to Seniors [ A special voluntary closed re treat for members of the senior class will be conducted at Serra Re¬ treat in Malibu from November 8th through 10th— the Tuesday, Wednes¬ day and Thursday immediately fol¬ lowing fall midterm examinations. Although all seniors will be eli¬ gible for the retreat, only fifty stu¬ dents can be accommodated on a first-sign, first-serve basis. Seniors who attend the retreat will be excused from classes and no cuts will be charged against them. Moreover, the post-midterm date should provide seniors with a minimum of study pressure and a maximum of psychological relief and liberty, so necessary for spirit ual depth. Themes will be senior problems: graduation, marriage the future, etc. With its magnifi¬ cent setting in the mountains, high above Malibu colony and cove, the Franciscan retreat house will be available for three days, including seven meals and two nights in pri¬ vate rooms. The retreat is located just forty minutes north of Loyola, off Pacific Coast Highway. Seniors interested in making the retreat are asked to sign up in the Dean of Students office, where a non-refundable deposit of one dol¬ lar is required. A twelve-dollar concession to the Franciscans will be payable upon registration at the retreat house, Temporary loans from the class treasury will be available upon re quest. Further information may be ob¬ tained at the Dean of Students of¬ fice; or from Senior Class Presi¬ dent Jim Jertson; or from Father Caldwell, the Retreat Master. LOYOLA ACTIVE IN RED CROSS Over 1800 students in twenty lo¬ cal colleges are doing more than just complain about conditions in the city. Members of the College program of the Red Cross work with Veter¬ ans hospitals, wards of the court, Old Age Homes, Childrens homes, and with various other groups of the underprivileged. Each member school has four members on the general board who publicize, recruit members and plan service projects for their re¬ spective campuses. The program is designed to stim¬ ulate and develop an awareness among college students, faculty and administrators of community needs generally in those areas where Red Cross is concerned. The program offers college students an opportu¬ nity to relate, through educational (Continued on Page 2) THREE KEY FIGURES in Agatha Christie's mystery comedy, In¬ spectator Blore, Mr. Marston, and Judge Wargrave, discuss events on Indian Island.

Mr. Warren Sherlock led Loy ola's C.A. faculty assault on the TV industry this year. Mr. Sherlock sold a half-hour comedy program to CBS’s “Repa tory Workshop.” His piece, to be shown in January, takes place dur ing the Irish Rebellion. Mr. Joseph Stone and Mr. Ber¬ nard Abbene, the other two mem¬ bers of the C.A. faculty, generously donated much of their summer, editing and directing Fr. Kaiser’s ‘Insight” series. Mr. Stone served as a story edi tor on three of the “Insight” stories for this season. They are: “Why Sparrows Fall” (October 9); “Truth About Time” (October 23); and “Snow in Summer” (October 30). Writes Scripts Mr. Abbene served as a story editor and a writer for “Insight” He edited^ “Don’t Let Me Catch You Praying” (November 6) and The Mutual Ticket Agency is open daily from 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. across from the lair. Tickets may be purchased for all major events in the greater Los An¬ geles area. wrote “Politics Can Become a Habit.” He also directed the open¬ ing segment of “Insight,” in which Fr. Kaiser introduces the program and the closing segments where he adds pertinent remarks. In past seasons, Fr. Kaiser’s appearance in these segments has been below par. Thanks to Mr. Abbene his ap¬ pearance and delivery in these seg¬ ments has been greatly improved. Why did Mr. Stone and Abbene donate so much of their time non- gratis to “Insight”? They explained that “Insight” is an anthology, meaning that the writer is not restricted to weekly characters and situations. This gives the writer the most possible latitude in expressing his feeling and creativity. The TV industry, which is based on the continuing series, rarely permits such lati tude. Both men felt that the oppor tunity to express such a wide range of creativity was well worth the donated time. Annual University Day Loyola University of Los Angeles will hold its annual University Day Sunday, October 17, beginning with Mass at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart and ending in the late afternoon with dinner in the Terrace Room of Malone Student Center. Parents of freshmen students will be welcomed by the members of the administration, faculty and stu¬ dent leaders.

Cadets of the Arnold Air Society, the honorary service organization of the University’s AFROTC, will serve as guides in tours of the Seaver Hall of Science, the Pereira Hall of Engineering, St. Robert’s Hall, the Alumni Memorial Gym¬ nasium, Malone Memorial Student Center, the Von der Ahe Library and student residence halls.

Committee Deadline for articles submit¬ ted to EL PLAYANO is Nov. 2. Contact Editor John Pusey or Assistants Dennis Welch and A1 Huerta for details. The RSA finally got under way with the first meeting of the Resi¬ dent Student Affairs Committee last Sept. 30. The meeting was originally scheduled for the 28th, but Dean of Students, Fr. Rolfs postponed it un til the following Friday. Members of the committee are the three RSA officers, the head ad visors of the dorms, the Dean of Students, his assistant, the RSA moderator, and the director of Resident students. The meeting was bogged down by one important member’s absence, Dean of Students, Fr. Rolfs. According to RSA president, Andy Smith, the committee is at least a start in the right direction for the resident students to govern themselves, and have more of a say with those that do govern them. During the early part of the sum¬ mer an RSA report of suggestions for improvements in the Resident students handbook was ignored and as a result, the handbook was the work of one man— Director of Resi¬ dent Students, Mr. Lind. The following is the agenda of that meeting on the 30th, and the ideas concerning them. :. FURNITURE IN THE ROOMS. Objections by the administration have been that the maids would not be able to keep the rooms clean, that the furniture would be old and decrepit, that students would take less care of their rooms with the extra bulk, and that chairs would be taken from the President’s Lounge. The problems seem valid, but the committee has come up with what may be a practical solution. First, the majority of the maids have stated that extra furniture would be no problem and that if it were in individual cases, then those in¬ dividuals would have to dispose of their furniture. As to choice of proper furniture, here again there is no problem. The committee proposes that each student who is to have extra fur¬ niture, must first notify the Hous¬ ing office, and there it would be put on record. There would be con¬ tinual checks to make sure these were the only ones with furniture and that it was not below par. As for furniture in the Presi¬ dent’s Lounge, the conclusions of the previous paragraph solve that problem. 2. WOMEN IN THE DORM. That old problem cropped up once again in discussion. Last year, a proposal to open the dorms to women on Sunday was denied, but it is hoped that a compromise of four Sundays each semester may be reached this year. The idea of this feminine inva- ( Continued on Page 2)
