Decision Made Last Week , Resigns on Doctor’s Advice LOYOLAN co-Editor Frank Dantona announced last week that he would be forced to resign because of illness. In a letter last Tuesday to Dr. Daniel T. Mitchell, Chair¬ man of the Committee on Student Publications, Dantona said that, after discussions with his parents and on the advice of his doctor, he had decided to forgo his efforts as a journalist for the sake of his health. Dantona, who last year was Edito r-In-Chief of BOARDERLINE, the resi¬ dent student newspaper, de¬ scribed the illness as “chron¬ ic ulcerated colitis,” a contin¬ uous inflammation of the large intestine. The illness was diagnosed this s u m m e r. He spent most of the month of August in the hospital and was re¬ leased on September 1. At that time, Dantona’s doctor advised him to take a light course load and cut out all extracurricular activities. But Dantona decided to take a normal class load and do what he could as co-Editor of the LOYOLAN. Last week, however, Dan¬ tona was informed that his condition was worsening. In a phone call to Dantona’s parents his doctor said that, if Dantona did not slow down and relax, he would need an operation within “a short time.” His doctor again advised Dantona to cut out all activi¬ ties on the newspaper and half of his academic load. In his letter Dantona said his decision was not an easy one to make, that he liked “working with all the people here at the University . . . particularly with those on the LOYOLAN staff.” He added that he would try to contribute a feature or, news story from time to time. He asked the Publications Committee to consider gran¬ ting the LOYOLAN a larger budget next year, and asked for a vote of confidence from the Committee for the re¬ maining co-Editor, Jerry Floyd. What action the Com¬ mittee would take was not immediately clear. Dantona and Floyd were appointed last year after prolonged and sometimes heated dis- cussions over who the Editor-In-Chief should be. Floyd said that he did not wish to remove Dan¬ tona’s name from the co- Editor position until the Committee directed him to do so.1 Peace Group Holds Vigil A peace vigil will be held next Thursday, Oct. 19, from 12:10 to 1:10 p.m., on the Regents’ Terrace, according to Joe Dunn, Chairman of Students of Loyola Against the War (SLAW). According to Dunn, “This will be a silent demonstra¬ tion. There will be literature available, but we will not ac¬ tively try to convert anyone. “We are inviting all those who seek peace in Vietnam to line Up with 'us beside the planter box between St. Rob¬ ert’s and Malone.” Mr. Dunn noted that many similar activities have taken place at other universities in the area. The organization held its first, informal meeting Oct. 10 to plan the vigil, elect a chairman, and discuss plans for a possible affiliation with the other off-campus groups opposing the war. Numerous other projects, such as joining with the ASLU Political Union to in- ( Continued on Page 7) The production is designed by Mr. Paul Kaufman and stage managed by Ken Pe¬ ters.
