MARY MeCARTHY addresses Loyola students in a campaign speech for her father, Sen. Eugene McCarthy. Actor Leonard Nemoy of Star Trek (seated to the right of Loyola Political Union Chairman, Tony Cole) introduced the Senator's daughter. Mary McCarthy Speaks To Lair Patio Audience Approximately three hundred Loyola students, faculty, and staff turned out to hear Mary McCarthy last Tues¬ day at 3:00 p.m. The nineteen-year-old daughter of Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy was introduced by Leonard Nemoy, Mr. Spock of the Star Trek television series. She declared that her father was attempting to “re¬ vitalize the democratic system.” The greatest issue of this campaign, she said, is the quality of overall leadership. Explaining that McCarthy - j - - and New York Senator Rob¬ ert Kennedy have “the same basic position on the issues of today,” she asked “Which CIPA Names L.A. Loyolan 3rd Best College Weekly The Los Angeles Loyolan has been named the third best college weekly newspaper in the State of California by the California intercollegiate Press Association. , The award was announced the weekend of March 30 at the CIPA’s Annual convention (held this year at the Hil¬ ton Inn, San Diego). But a tight budget prevented Loyolan representatives from attending the convention and word of the award was not received on campus till last week. CIPA members include - - - - most of the colleges publish¬ ing newspapers in California. Among members in the local area are Cal State L.A., Cal State Long- Beach, Pepper- dine, Valley State, and USC. Ahead of the Loyolan in the “best weekly” division were the firstunlace Quaker Campus from'sWhittier Col¬ lege and seconds place State Hornet from Sacramento State College. The USC Daily Trojan dominated competition in ten other major categories, in which the weeklies and dail¬ ies battled for the same awards. The Trojan took first place awards for Best News Story, Best Editorial, Best General Column, Best Sports Story, Best Sports Photos, and Best Cartoon, As might be expect¬ ed, the Trojan also won the sweepstakes award. There was virtually; no contest for the weeklies in these categories however: all but two of the awards went to daily publications. Concert Tuesday Night Rose Marie Cardinale, lyr¬ ic soprano, will be heard in a concert of art songs and arias, this evening at 8:15 p.m. in St. Robert’s Audi¬ torium. Originally scheduled for April 2, Miss Cardinale’s concert was postponed due to illness.

And so her father is cre¬ ating a new politics, open and issue-oriented, a politics of information. His primary stress now is on what she called “civil rights - poverty.” Here she outlined four “new civil rights” : housing, education, health care, and a guaran¬ teed job and minimum in¬ come. “We deceived ourselves four years ago when we thought that if you gave people the right to vote you made them full citizens,” said the slightly nervous Radcliffe sophomore. She concluded that to im¬ plement the “new ' civil rights, we don’t lack the knowledge, we don’t lack the power, we only need the will.” Speaking on foreign policy, she showed an awareness of the “limits of power” and noted the dangers inherent (Continued on Page 2) The four candidates for ASLU President addressed the student body yesterday in the Lair at noon and in the Terrace Room at 6 :00 p.m. Candidates Ralph Smith, John Jackson, and Mike Alexander, had campaigned all last week. Ted Mathews' surprise entry into the race was officially confirmed last Thursday, two days after petitions were closed, when the ASLU Senate voted 6-2 to waive the petition date for Mathews., Because of press deadlines, the Loyolan was unable to — - cover yesterday’s speeches. But the four candidates have all issued platform statements to the Loyolan. What follows is a summary of their positions. ASLU Vice - President Ralph Smith has stressed that, the present structure of the ASLU Senate ‘is not rep¬ resentative of the student body.” Smith maintains that class loyalty is “a thing of the past and of Freshman year.” Smith says he favors representation based on the colleges of the University. Smith adds that “if stu¬ dent government is to be either relevant or effective next year, it will have to rec¬ ognize the importance and cope with the problems caused by the Loyola-Mary- mount merger . . . whether we want it or not, the most important aspect of student, life on this campus for sev¬ eral years to come . . .” Echoing sentiments that have been expressed by oth¬ er student leaders over, the past three years, Smith calls for increased student votes on University committees, removing prior censorship from the Loyolan, and pre¬ senting the Administration with “reasonable requests in¬ stead of irresponsible ulti¬ matums.” While Smith says he has (Continued on Page 5) 'Faith and Business' Seminar Tonight “Faith and Business,” the third in the Loyola “FAITH AND TODAY” roundtable discussion series on practical theology, will be held to¬ day, Tuesday, April 30, at 8 :00 p.m., in Malone 204.
