Loyolan interview SDS revolutionary Tom Hayden teaching at IHC By Steve Osterman He has been called a commu¬ nist, a radical, a revolutionary and a conspirator. Tom Hayden was one of the Chicago Seven brought to trial by the United States for conspiracy, and in- sighting to riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. He also was the sole drafter of the Port Huron State¬ ment that founded Students for a Democratic Society. He has been called a revolutionary and this is a correct appraisal. This is really not such a startling title or reality after witnessing the political events in this country during the last seven years. Hayden is teach¬ ing a class at Immaculate Heart College in Hollywood. The class meets every Tuesday night from seven o’clock to 10 o’clock. The title of the course is Polities of the Peace Movement. In an exclusive Loyolan inter¬ view, Hayden was asked why he was teaching at Immaculate Tom Hayden the arrangements for the class. The main text for the class is the Pentagon Papers. He is requiring one paper on any political occur- rance that the student finds rele¬ vant to his life. Hayden is also giving a lecture class at UCLA. He is not on the payroll of the school. However, certain profes¬ sors are giving credit for his Mon¬ day night class on their own in¬ itiative. This arrangement solves at least temporarily a problem for UCLA that Dr. Kalish had with Angela Davis in the Philosophy Department in the last days of her UCLA teaching career. By not being a paid teacher at the uni¬ versity there is not much that the Regents can do to remove him. Hayden was asked if he thought that in the interests of bringing about a political revolution in this country, if massive demonstra¬ tions and conspicuous displays of protest were relevant anymore? He responded saying yes demon¬ strations and parades are still relevant but that there are right times and wrong times. Just as there are right ways and wrong ways to go about them. He said that it was no longer valid to accept protest because it is the thing to do or to protest blindly not knowing what you are protesting for or who you are af¬ fecting. Hayden said that he (Continued on Page 4) Heart. Hayden explained that he was teaching there because one of his friends whom he had known for years and who was just apply¬ ing to Immaculate Heart, half¬ heartedly suggested the idea to him. On a hunch he went to Mary Jane Pew, the chairman of the Immaculate Heart College Politi¬ cal Science Department and piade LOS ANGELES LOYOLAN Vol. 49 — No. 3 October 18, 1971 A LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT STUDENT PUBLICATION Too complex and inadequate Scully rewrites student code By Dennis laniro A first draft of the proposed codes on Student conduct and dis¬ ciplinary procedures has been submitted to members of the Loy¬ ola University Board of Trustees by Thomas Scully, Vice presi¬ dent for Student Affairs. In a Loyolan interview, Scully outlined the events leading to his extensive proposals. He stated that the University trustees invited him to report his impressions on the existing Stu¬ dent Code of Conduct last May. “I found them to be inadequate; they were too complex and legalistic — by legalistic, I mean undefined.” Owing to his experience in mat¬ ters of student conduct codes, the trustees asked him to draft a new code, making recommendations as he saw fit. In essence then, the new draft is far from Just a revision of the present code of conduct — it has been “re-written from scratch.” The most outstanding departure from the now-existing code is the fact that the new one encom- p a sses all members of the campus community, not just the students. The first draft states in part : ‘‘The underlying philosophy is to view all campus relation¬ ships as being part of a con¬ tinuum which binds all members of the university community. The draft of the proposed University Standards of Conduct is designed to apply to every member of the campus community — from fresh¬ man to Vice-president, clerk to coordinator,, gardener to graduate student.” The implication here, com¬ mented Scully, is that no reason exists for there to be differing standards of conduct applied to students than are applied to other members of the campus commu¬ nity. However, the procedures by - wjtdch grievances are heard dif¬ fer, he added, by virtue of the fact that different status in the univer¬ sity alters the legal status. Scully also noted other signifi¬ cant departures from the existing code. In particular, the new draft states . . . “(the university’s) in¬ terests are not coextensive with the state or civil authority ; there¬ fore, its codes should not reflect civil and criminal law; and most (Continued on Page 7) Whelan dies By Roach and Farley at Los Gatos Dia de la Raza, which featured speakers, a mass, dinner and an evening social, highlighting campus activities last week.

Whelan, SJ, former President of Loyola University of Los Angeles, died on Saturday, October 9, 1971, at Los Gatos, Calif. He was 84 and had been in failing health for several years. Fr. Whelan was President of Loyola University from 1942 to 1949. His administrative skill kept the University operating with only 50 students enrolled. During World War II he brought the Army Specialized Training to the campus. After the war, re¬ turning servicemen raised Loy¬ ola’s enrollment to its highest point in history. Prior to his presidency at Loyo¬ la, Fr. Whelan served in a similar capacity at Loyola High School in Los Angeles from 1934 to 1942. He was also president of the Univer¬ sity of San Francisco. He was or¬ dained in 1921. The Mass of the Resurrection was offered October 12 at St. Ig¬ natius Church, San Francisco. Mark Adams took -direct action to eliminate deficit spending by the ASLM last Tuesday at the Board of Governors meeting. Adams introduced a bill to freeze all appropriations for three weeks. “We have to stop giving away money until we take a look at our finances, or we will use up our control fund.” The control fund is an amount of unappro¬ priated monies which the gover¬ nors can dispense in emergencies to cover unforeseen budgetary needs. At the time of the meeting, the board was not sure if it had 300 or 700 dollars in the control fund. Adams’ motion produced chuckles from the rest of the governors who then approved the motion. Earlier in the meeting, Rose¬ mary Peterson was hired as ASLM secretary. The first hour of the meeting was spent in dis- c u s s i n g and approving Mike Stoltz’s nominations for the var¬ ious university and student com¬ mittees. Rick Hurhm and Mark Ferelli were named to the Library Improvement Committee. Pam Croft, Karen Bangs, Jim Gillis and Steve Balak were appointed to the General Education Com¬ mission. Mike Joseph, Frank So¬ liz; Elsa Aguirre, Terry Iacino and Larry George were named to the Low Income Scholarship Board. Students Stan Lamb, John Griffith and Brian O’Rourke were also appointed to the Student Communication and Media Com¬ mission. Mike Stoltz then refused to nom¬ inate anyone to the Loyola-Mary- mount Board of Trustees. He felt that he hadn’t had enough time to completely interview can¬ didates for the position. The board then instructed him to have the interviews completed by this Tuesday’s meeting or they would do the interviews themselves at the meeting. Stoltz stated that he had de¬ voted extra hours to preparation for the upcoming emergency elec¬ tion and had not had tone to con¬ sider the applications because of the urgent necessity to make ready the election to replace Mike Hartfield who resigned. The elec¬ tion is also crucial because it will determine the fate of the year- ( Continued on Page 2)
