Reform Committee Agrees After Summer Dispute After a summer in which negotiations between stu¬ dents and administrators on the Joint Committee on University Reform slowed and nearly stopped in a series of disagrements between Dean of Students Fr. Richard Rolfs, S.J., and student spokesman Jerry Floyd, the Joint Committee finally released i yesterday. The disagreement, over what the Joint Committee had actually agreed upon, was waged by what Joint Committee student member John Jackson called “epistles at thirty miles,” and was only resolved in a face-to- face meeting between Floyd and Fr. Rolfs, shortly before the school year began.

GRIEVANCES The Joint Committee, cre¬ ated last March to deal with problems raised in the A S L U ’ s Declaration of Grievances, held a series of eleven meetings from March 20 to May 10. During that time, the Committee was able to remove several prob¬ lems to which the students had objected. The Committee’s least successful work was in the area of “University Author¬ ity Structure.” But since the problems involved here are tide up with outside author¬ ities, such as the Jesuit Pro¬ vincial and the Cardinal, no one expected more than a clarification. The Administration and students did agree that “a number of committees have deliberative, functions” and that the tradition whereby (Continued on page 4) Opponents' 7 New Deans/ Faculty Before near capacity crowds, Loyola opened its new football program rolling up 52 points against its first two opponents, while allow¬ ing only a single touchdown. In the season opener, Jim Ertman ran for one TD, pa¬ ssed for two to Jerry Neri, as the Lions breezed past Victor Valley 32-0. Against Azusa-Pacific two first half TD runs by Ertman, and a rugged defense led by Cap¬ tain Len Vami, carried Lo¬ yola to a 20-7 romp.

DEAN WILLIAMSON sity of Buffalo, Wheaton College, Indiana University (Continued on page 7) At its meeting late in July, the Loyola University Board of Trustees rejected a faculty-administration com¬ mittee’s recommendation to replace the much criticized “Loyola Man” with a new philosophy of education. At the same time, the Board agreed to include the committee’s statement as a ‘System of Education” in the new University Bulle¬ tin. The “Loyola Man,” also known as the “Man of Two Worlds” and the “Complete Man,” has traditionally ap¬ peared in the Bulletin and in several other official publi¬ cations. It has been sub¬ jected to mounting criticism in recent years and, at last year’s ASLU Turnover Ban¬ quet, was the basis for a sat¬ ire entitled “The Incomplete Man, a Slave of Two Swamps.” The committee’s “System of Education” does appear in the Bulletin before the “Lo¬ yola Man.” And the third paragraph of the “Loyola Man” — which characterized Loyola as “modern, but not experimental,” — was eliminated. But the Trustees refused to allow the “Loyola Man” to be removed. INSIDE...
