The wide-spread campus support for the statutes seems to be a direct result of the November 20th meeting of the Joint Committee on University Reform, at which faculty and administrative, objections to the statutes were removed. Fr. Thomas D. Terry, S.J., ; Academic Vice-President, and several faculty members had criticized the proposed statutes as establishing a “supreme court” or “super committee” that could over¬ rule or interfere with exis¬ ting University structures. But after the Joint Com- m i 1 1 e e meeting, which ASLU President Joe Ashby hailed as “a major break¬ through for the University,” Fr. Terry and the three fac¬ ulty observers who had at¬ tended were expressing their (Continued on Page 2) Tickets may be obtained from one of the three Chap¬ lain’s Offices on campus, and should be picked up be¬ fore December 15th, When Christmas vacation begins.

Loyolan, Current Discuss Merging Editors of the Loyolan and Marymount’s Current met last week to discuss the possibility of combining the two newspapers when the women’s college moves to Westches¬ ter next year. Present at the meeting were Current Editor Kristin Linden, Co-Editor Carolyn Honda, and Patricia Pace. The Loyolan was represented by Jerry Floyd, Editor; John Sol¬ tesz, Associate Editor; and John Jackson, Grammarian and Spiritual Advisor. Also present were Current’s faculty advisor, Mrs. Den¬ ise Scott, Dr. Daniel Mitchell, chairman of Loyola’s Com¬ mittee on Student Publications, and Dr. Frank Carothers. The discussion was held so that the students could ex¬ press their opinions on the newspaper merger to the faculty representatives, who had met previously. The student, editors agreed that a combined pa¬ per would be more advan¬ tageous to both schools. The joint budget would allow most issues to l>e twelve pages. However, some issues would have to be eight pages. When the question of a name was brought up, Kris¬ tin Linden and Mrs. Scott said that Current could be dropped. John Soltesz sug¬ gested that a new name be (Continued on Page 2) Ш Frank Small, representing L.A. City Councilman L. E. Timberlake, also read a reso¬ lution from the city council. L-Shaped Dorm The first Marymount building, a $1,400,000 four- story student dorm, is sched¬ uled fpr completion by Sep¬ tember 1968. The structure will be com¬ prised of two wings, connect¬ ed by a core, in the shape of an L. It will provide quarters for 304 students, four girls to a suite. The ground floor will con¬ sist of a lobby, a recreation area, offices, snack bar, kitchen and utility rooms. - The other three floors will be resident suites. Disappointment There was an undercur¬ rent of disappointment that the groundbreaking, was not as big as some thought it should be. It was perhaps to be ex¬ pected that Governor Ronald Reagan, Lieutenant-Gover¬ nor Robert Finch and Mayor Sam Yorty, who were in¬ vited, would not be able to attend. But there was regret that other important officials in¬ tegrally involved with the affiliation, such as Cardinal McIntyre, could not attend the ceremonies. Festivities Following the more formal ceremonies, the student bodies got together for a somewhat crowded lunch in the Terrace room, while the officials involved in the earli¬ er ceremonies dined in the Del Rey rooms. In the afternoon, Mary¬ mount students were given a chance to go to some classes at Loyola and see what they were like. J The entire program reach¬ ed a culmination of sorts with a concert in the gym, sponsored by Marymount. The concert featured the Drifters, Tim Morgan; and Booker T and the M-G’s.
