he new Fine Arts Complex
will offer students a new
faciltity, as well as a new perspec¬
tive into the communications
field.
A recording arts major, still in
the proposal stages, is one of the
unique features the new program
will offer.
‘‘For the first two years that
the studios are available there
won’t be a major in recording,”
said the dean of the College of
Fine and Communication Arts,
Peter Clothier.
‘‘However, within the colleges
themselves, under the general
heading of individualized
studies, each college will have a
program available. A recording
minor will be offered.”
* ‘The individualized studies
will enable a student to have a
program custom tailored for
their specific goals,” according
to the Director of the Recording
Arts Program, Peter Bergren.
The recording department’s
proposal has not yet been ap¬
proved; which is causing pro¬
blems.
“The last proposal to the
Academic Planning and Review
Committee was turned down,”
commented Acedemic Vice
President, Fr. Albert Koppes.
“Until it clears with the com¬
mittee, we are still in a never-
never land. We have yet to receive
a revision of the proposal. What
is stated into that revision is
crucial in terms of moving for¬
ward in the Fine Arts depart¬
ment,” Koppes added.
Despite the obstacle, the recor¬
ding program was still given ap¬
proval by Koppes.
“Several classes will begin next
Fall, which will include: In¬
troduction to Recording Arts;
History of Recorded Sound;
Recording and Electronics and
History of Great Music Through
Recording,” explained Bergren.
Classes to be offered in the
future will include Video and
Film Recording, Post Production
Sound, Theater Sound, Systems
Design for Theater Sound, Pro¬
duction in. Recording, Recording
Engineering, Record Producing,
Cable Television and New Forms
of Distribution (satellite) and
Video Recording.
Part of the program’s appeal
will be the new recording equip¬
ment. The Burn’s Fine Art
Complex will house a 16 and 24
track recording studio.
“It is professionally equipped.
We hope to have an ongoing rela¬
tionship with KXLU. We hope
they will submit material to us so
we can work together,” com¬
mented Bergren.

A Rare Look at Fr. Marshall's Art

Loyolan Features Writer
here can Loyola students see a
Gainsborough landscape, Shakespeare’s First
Folio, and a large collection of works by Saint Thomas
More? Look no further than your own campus, for the
Von Der Ahe Library houses a large collection of fine art
in the Frank Sullivan Rare Book room. Rev. Theodore
Marshall, S.J. has held the position of Special Collec¬
tions Librarian since 1979, when he resigned as director
of the Charles Von Der Ahe Library.
Most students do not realize the wealth of information
that is available to them. Mark Kozlowskj, a Junior
Biology major thought that the Rare Book Room was
filled with “old books and paintings and things like
that.” He also felt that “it was off lipiits” to students.
Laura Trosino, a Junior Economics major said, “I’ve
never felt welcome” and was apprehensive about enter¬
ing the room.
Senior Accounting major Elise Liston, thought the
room “was a storage area” and “assumed we weren’t
allowed in there.’’ For Junior Biology major Louis
Navazo, the room “instills a feeling of fear,” and “does
not seem 'accessible” to Louis who asked, “Where’s
the door?”
Not only does the room offer access for students and
faculty, the library “provides a reading room for those
who wish to consult the collection,” said Fr. Marshall.
Because the utmost care must be taken to guarantee the
preservation of the collections, careless handling and
photocopying are prohibited. Hours of service are Mon¬
day through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:30
p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Rare Book Room remains closed
on weekends.
The collection consists of “rare books, manuscripts,
early maps, autographs, early engravings, prints and
materials of specials interest, ” said Fr. Marshall. The
collection is the result of generous gifts donated to the
University throughout the years. According to Fr. Mar¬
shall, the collection has developed gradually over the
years. The Gainsborough Pastoral Scene was given to
Fr. Casassa by former C.I.A. director John
McKone.The Library acquired the Chilton Collection in
the early sixties, when the present day library was only
about half its size. Before 1959, the Library housed its
materials in Saint Robert’s Hall. The original location of
the Library is now the home of the Registrar’s office.
The library’s most prized possession is the Saint
Thomas More collection; Assembled by L.W.
Longstaff, the collection consists of the collected works
of 1557, 1563, 1565, and!689. The collection also houses
64 copies of Utopia that were published m the 1 51 8 ’ s .
The Chilton Collection features the first four folios of
Shakespeare published in 1623, 1632, 1664, and 1685.
The 1623 edition, bound bv Roger Payne, stands out for
