sentative, and. Paul Meyerhoffer

elect people at the end of the year
it was decided to hold the posi¬
tions open until the start of the
fall term. Patty Schnegg and Gus¬
tavo Vega won the top spots over
fourteen other contenders.

Donor Tim Hughes tries to sneak away while nurse is distracted.
Hughes and other faculty and staff donated 209 pints of blood.
Bloodmobile nets 209 pints
despite poor response - .r .
A disappointing donor turnout
marred last Wednesday's visit of
the Red Cross Bloodmobile to the
Loyola/Marymount campus. Only
about 236 of the 400 people antici¬
pated showed up to donate the 20*9
pints processed by the Red Cross.
The pooir response came as a
complete surprise to Crimson
Circle president Tim Hughes, one
of the co-chairmen of this year's
drive.
“We had more people apply to
donate this fall than we had ever
had before,” Hughes said. “We
had to close the sign-up booths
two days early when we reached
capacity for the Bloodmobile. A
big cgnfcributer to the poor show¬
ing was the scheduling of the do¬
nation date. Wednesday is a non-
class day for much of the Univerr
sity and there aren't very many
students on campus."
The blood drive, sponsored by
the Crimson Circle and the Loyola
Belles, has been growing yearly
until it now involves a major por¬
tion of the Loyola/Marymount
community, Hughes said.
He said blood collected in the
fall and spring drives is credited
to the Loyola/Marymount group
account from which members of
the community may draw for
themselves and their families.
“We have to thank all those
who did take the time to donate
last Wednesday. They're beau¬
tiful," stated Hughes. “We have
another drive coming up this
spring, I hope we don't have the
same problems we had this time.
Somebody needs the blood."

Of the projected $78,090 student
tax, $117, 590 falls within the direct
control of Director of Student Re¬
lations, Richard Boswell.
Boswell broke the total budget
down into its composite alloca¬
tions. Under |wo commissioners
of minority affairs is a budget of
$2,750. Supervised by one commis¬
sioner is a student organizations'
budget of $2,000. Student Activi¬
ties' commissioner has at his dis¬
posal $4,000. Arrangements for
speakers are made by two com¬
missioners of the Speakers' Bu¬
reau which has $4,000 in funding.
Dances, such as the home¬
coming dance, and other social
activities are arranged for by
commissioner Tom Byrne. Bos¬
well admitted that “more feed¬
back is needed" on social events.
Input has been limited, he ac¬
knowledged, and efforts are being
made to contact members of the
campus to determine their wish¬
es.
Mike Duffy and Pat Michell,
commissioners of the Speakers*
Bureau, were selected “because
of their contacts," Boswell assert¬
ed. Admitting a partisian Demo¬
crat leaning in the speakers, Bos¬
well noted that the Young Repub¬
licans have been offered support,
manpower as well as financing.
To date, they have not accepted.
The Student Relations Depart¬
ment had fourteen commissioners
last year. Boswell pointed to the
pruning of this number to four as
one of his major achievements.
Four commissioners of student
welfare have been phased out.
Their efforts at handling general
student ^problems are now the
duty, of the Director, Bosiwell re¬
ported.
Intercollegiate communications,
previously handled by a commis¬
sioner, is now the responsibility of
the new Public Relations Depart¬
ment which answers directly to
the Board of Governors. The Pub¬
lic Relations Coordinator is David
Hyman.
Cultural affairs and the faculty
evaluation each had supervision
for commissioners. Under this
year's system, both areas are
being handled by Deputy Director
of Student Relations, Dave Lee-
per.
The final commissioner phased
out was the commissioner repre¬
senting the Loyola/Marymount
Band. The band is now part of the
student organizations segment of
the Student Relations Department
Boyle endorses McGovern,
critical of Proposition 22
by Frank Fine
“For the first time," said the
Rev. Eugene Bovle, to a Loyola
audience on October 21, “I have
taken a stand for a presidential
candidate." Boyle went on to en¬
dorse Georgfe McGovern for the
November 7 . presidential election
as the man “America can
trust."
Boyle stated that McGovern
epitomizes humanitariamsm and*
an unusual sense of honesty and
personal decency.
The priest cited, an. event of the
past month which confirmed his
belief in McGovern, and his dis¬
inclination toward Nixon.
Boyle, representing the Nation¬
al Federation of Priest Councils,
mailed to each man an issues*
and-attitudes questionaire.
He received from McGovern a
personally answered questionaire
with McGovern's signature
scrawled across the bottom; Nix¬
on Headquarters sent to Boyle a
“stack of campaign literature,"
and neglected to answer the ques¬
tionaire.
Boyle denounced Nixon’s con¬
duct of the Vietnam War.
Nixon is using the American
troop withdrawals, stated Boyle,
as a means to escalate the aerial
war. Nixon's claim that the war is
winding down, said Boyle, is a
“patent, manifest lie."
McGovern, who has opposed
this war for the past nine years,
noted Boyle, would bring it to a
decisive conclusion.
Boyle' ridiculed Nixon's sup¬
posed conviction that religion is a
“private matter," distinct from
the world of politics. Nixon could
say this one second, declared
Boyle/ and chase after ecclesias¬
tic votes the ngxt. Nixon's plea to
blacks, chicanos, and other mi¬
norities, said Boyle, is based

The Nixon-McGovern debate held Thursday, October 26, on Regents’ Terrace drew crowds extending well
down the mall. The audience showed its pro-McGovern bias responding with laughter and applause to the
dynamic delivery of Mike Miller from the McGovern Hotline. Tom Hayden, Richard Nixon's; Youth Ad¬
visor for California, stood on his candidate's record and was supported by small groups to his right. The
debate was sponsored, by the speakers bureau.
