Student newspaper of Loyola University. Some issues may have missing or mutilated pages. ________________________________ _. __________ ._._._. __________ Review NA TO 's 15 Years First Atlantic Community Day Loyola's first Atlantic Community Day presenting a diversified array of foreign government speakers proposing various national concepts of NATO, opened befor e a sparse crowd May 7, in the Georgetown room. Se tting the tone for the morn- --- --- ing talks, Alan H. Cambell, a member of the United Kingdom's mi ss ion to the United Nations, speaking on "NATO: Bulwark of Western Defense," reviewed NATO's origin and a chievements in its 15 year history. The well known series of events leading up to the Organization's fo r m a tion, f rom the realization of the Russian threat ill 1918 to the NATO a greemen t, April 7, 1949, was br iefly touched on th rough a tracing of the se>rics of agreements, the Mars hall Pla n, Treaty of Dunkirk, B1·usscls T rea ty, a nd the Vandenb<' rg Resolution. INTERESTI GLY, l\tR. Cambcll's choice of the central ele· mcnt leading to NATO's formation wa the fin al commitment by the United Sta tes and the reversal of Washington's old admonition a gains t "entangling a lliance ." Growth of the world community mus t lead to in ter· dependence, Mr. Cambell contend , but greater coopera tion and a lowering of tension should not fos ter a lowering of the milita r y g uard. Concerning the futu re, Mr. Cambell foresees the "ultimate weapon" as the gr eatest prob· lem to be faced by the NATO powers. It is on this question of dis tl'ibution of nuclear power that nahvnalistic feelings were most evident among the speakers. Questioned about a nucleai· force for NATO, Mr. Cambell would favor a nuclear deterrent for NATO to see how it "could work" yet Britain wiH continue to ma intain its own nuclear deterrent in addition to that countri s participation in mutual co· operation. Disappointingly, Jean Beliard, Consul-General of France to Chicago, who was to s pea k on "NATO Reassessed: New Outlook," and pre ent the Gaull<' t position on the Atlantic Community, did not speak. In his stead, Dr. Francis Schwarzenberg of the P olitical science department presented various official state- .LOY.OLA· NEWS' Vol. XLlll - No. 26 Chicago, Illinois May 14, 1964 94th Honors Convocation I Awards Presented to by George Sullivan "The pat·ticular aim of Loyola university is to develop 1he student's intellectual potential. This Honors Convocation, our 94th, will this evening offer congraulations to the scholae student." With these introductory remarks, the Rev. Joseph S. Pendergast, S.J . Dean of the College of Arts and Scier.ces, greeted an audience of over seven hundred students and parents at the Honors Convocation. last Sunday, May 10, 1964, in the Lake Shore Campus Center. Tia• Honors Co n \' o ca t ion ;;oug ht to honor the 250 0 1· more s lucll'nls who, in the las l two :;emPs ll'l'1' (Spring a nd Fall, 19631, had achieved at least a 3.'.' grade-point average in each s<•mc•s ter. The Honors Con\'ocation was also the occasion .for the presC'nta tion of the academic awards of fif teen departments. The Ve>1y Rev. J ames F. Maguire, p resident of Loyola Uni' ·ersit), pr C's lded over the convocation and delivered the main address of the evening. mony, Rev. P endergast awarded Scholastic Honors Keys to sixteen sen iors, besides tho e in the Honors P rogram, who will graduate cum laude or magna cum laude by reason of an average of at least 3.5 over the past seven :;emesters. The next prese nta tion of a w a r d s was to those seniors, juniors and sophomores, and freshman, who had mainta ined a scholastic a verage of 3.2 or higher in the past two semesters . The Very Rev. Mag uire, S.J ., presented the Scholastic Honors Certificate s to some 260 worthy students. The three students who placed firs t, th ird and sixth in winning the Jesuit Intercollegiate Latin Conte t recei\•cd several books as their reward. ENGLI H AWARDS \.\'ENT to Dolores A. Ruzicka and .lllary J. Kilgen for capturing eighth and ninth place in the 1ntc>rcollegiatc Engli h Conte l. Stuart Dybck merited the award from the Catholic Poetry Socie t\• of America for his work publis hed in Cadence, the underg raduate student magazine. Rosalie Zappa re c ei\ c d the Cha irman's Kev in Histol'\· lor efforts in this f ield, both in class r oom and extra-curricular a c tivities. Military Science Awards, presented by Lt. Col. Matthew R. J . Giuffre, went to lHatthew Ig no!fo, Edwin Millet, John Sheer, a nd William Herr. The Ling uis tic Merit Awards of the Modern Language DPnartment were dis tribu ted as .follows : French, Lawrence L uck; German, James M. P alanchar; Italian, Nance Raash Russian, Romuald Mis iunas Spanish, Edward Wong, J r. The Bellarmine Philosophy Award went to Mar-mcnts illus trating the French position. Bas ically, France wishes to achieve its own, national nuclear deterrent sh o u Id the United States take the position thal lhe defense of Europe is no longer inhC'r cnt to its own defense. DcGa ulle's "Europe for E uropeans" would promote a redis tribution of r espon ibility, a rcslructuring of the Alliance, a neutralization of S.E. As ia, recog nition of Red China, and a reevaluation of European union. DcGaulle's u ltimate dis trus t of a shared nuclear force within NATO depends upon his conception of France as the leader of the Eurnpean community. Il r C'mains to be seen whether Britain will be accepted as a ' natural member of the community. BETWEEN FRANCE AND the Anglo-Saxon union stands Germany whose stand Dr. Karl Leu teritz, Deputy Cons ul General, German Consulate of Chicago, presented in "The Dilemm a of NATO: Military AJJiance or Closer Political Community." Dr. Leuteritz admits thal NATO is more than a military a greement and that the primary conflict between the sig natories and Russia is ideological. Article IT o.f the Charter calls .for enlarged agreements beyond those of •a military nature, and although most E uropean agree· 250 t in Kalin in recognition of his paper which was read at the Phi Sigma Tau convention. The Rev. Joseph S. Small, Chairman of the Political Science Department, presented the Political Science Award to Jo· seph Corso. Michael Draper and Frank Bolin were awarded pins from the Loyola Physics Club .for their excellent scholastic endeavors in Math and Physi<.'S. Dennis M. Garvey, a g raduating Honors senior, received the Horan Physics Key. The Loyola University Psy. chology Key was presenteq to Stephanie Kramer and Kevin Houlihan by Dr. Robert C. Nicolay. Mr. Donald J . S t i ns o n a warded the J ohn A. Naghton Deba te Key to William Theis .for his fine argumentative efforts on the proposal the wiretapping sho uld be abolished. The Rev. Ralph A.

RC'cognizing G<.'rmany's unique position and her r ecent integration in to NATO after the Paris a gl'ecme nts in 1954, Dr. Leurtcritz noted t h a t all of Germany's forces are under NATO command. Germany is committed to NATO, and in replying to a que ~ion , Dr. Leuteritz admitted that offe r by the Eas t German governmenl for r eunification would not be accepted if rejection of NA TO were a r equirement. Germany has found itself burdened with a commitment to both Franc e and the United States. Promotion of a multi· lateral force would promote a grcate1· non-military alliance, a goal which would foster grea ter economic growth for Germany, yet Germany is also c I o s e l y aligned wi th the European community which is dominated by France. It re m a ins for the United States to find a middle road. PRE ENTING THE FINAL word for the morning session, Raymond Cour tney, Bureau of E uropean Affairs, United State.~ S tate Department, r eviewed .America's ma jor s tep in transAllantic involvement a nd the des ire for common military defense, economic be tterment, and political and social advancement. Two interesting points were mentioned in Mr. Courtney's talk. Fir, t. 1\11'. Courtney mentioned the possibility of expanding the Nor th AUantic Community to the South American countries This s treng thening of the West· ern bloc may prove very nece!'sary in order to maintain poli· tical stability in the Southern Hemi phere. Second, the mos t important problem is the restrncturing of NATO to comply with t he chang ing balance between East and Wes t. Since the Cuban con ¥ontation, Ame1·ica's prestige and the Westem defense community has strengthened itself and the European countries havf' demanded a stronger economic and poli tical involvement in in· ternational affairs. T he Unitec:I States' desire is .for a system bv which we attempt to share the nuclear role yet not spread nuclear capabilities to lPsser, and per haps more i rrespons ibl e. count r ies. NA TO w o u l d have been the per.feet vehicle for this pr ogram of shared responsibility yet F rance's rejection of the plan demands some sol u ti on more amenable to ri ing E uropean nationalism. FR. MAGUIRE STRESSED t ha l "s ince education itseli is nol immune to fashion, the collt• ge of today draws particular e 111pha ·is to excellence in stud•<' s." Ile r ela ted how as a "benelit of the post-Sputnik age, the university which takes public notice of its scholarly students is in fashion today ." "For the past 94 year s, the various presidents of this university and the honor students have been gathering, "Father recalled. He congratulated the slucl<.'nts" on an achievement, not attained without much exertion." In concluding, Fr. Maguire presented the studenls with their mandatum: "Because \\f your native endowment and .laudable ambition, you students will be able to make a signifi· cant contribution to your society and your religion. However, to be able to someday make a vital contribution, you must today spend a lengthy period of time in study. Study for the greater glory of God and .for your fellow men who are his ~ons and daughters." INDIVIDUAL ACADEl\IIC A\\' ARDS were n ext on the agenda. The President's Scholarship Key was awa rded to William Clune, the graduating senior with the high es t overall scholastic average. Fr. Mag uire also presented this key . The Reverend Walter P . Peters, S.J., the Acting Chairman of the Biology Department, pr esented class awards to senior, Florence Kowalczyk, j u n i o r , Marion Caporusso, sophomore, Erncsl Stiller, and Freshman, Paul Bessette. Miss Kowalczyk also received the award in Biology Research. Fletcher Sweeps Senior Election; Junior Class Chooses Garvey Upon the conclusion of the speech of Very Rev. James J. Maguire, Rev. Carl J. Burlage, S.J., Director of the Honors Program, presented Honors Program Keys to twenty-one seniors who have completed seven semesters of work in the Honors Pt'ogram. Following this cere- Dr. Frank Cassaretto gave the l"ather Morrissey Medals to the following chemistry students : inorganic chemistry, Edward Bough; analytical chemistry, James Babler, organic chemistry, Thomas Mortell; Physical Chemistry, Loretta Lucek. John Hill received the American Institute of Chemists Award; Lo· t·etta Lucek, the Merck Index Award in Chemistry. The awards of the Classics De- partment were presented by the Rev. J. J. Mertz, S.J. John Cody received the Dr. John T. O'Conuell Classical Key; Janine Konauka, the Rev. J. J. Mertz Award; and Vito M. Voline, the Dr. D. H. Abel Award ln Greek. Voting took place last Friday at Lake Shore campus and last Tuesday at Lewis Towers fot· the officers of next year's juniot' and senior classes. Returns an nounced Tuesday night showed the following results. Jim Fletch· er was lhe ov e rwhe lmin g l y choice .for senior class pre~ iden t, receiving 353 points out o( a total of 676. (Under a rts counc: il regulations, each voter gives two points to his fi rst place choice and one point to his secQnd choice. Thus the point coun t represents a total of 225 1.a sPn\ ors who voted.) Brian McDonnell placed second with 130 points but, s ince both he and Fletcher attend Lake Shore campus, Tom Cu-sack, whose 75 poin ts won the third spot, was declared senior class vice-president. Daniel Fe· gan and Rober t Getz r eceived ll3 and 55 points, r espectively. :tN A SOMEWHAT CLOSER contest, Mike Garvey of LSC P.dged L T's Bruce Ma lcolm 205- 194 .for the junior class presidency. Robert Ans tiss, a lso from Lake Shore, .finish ed third with J 34 p o i n t s. Malcolm was declared vice-president. 'Tom Rhodenbaugh, this year's senior class president, clarified !Wo ponts concerning the election. It was r eported that a nwnller of ballots for the j uniot· <'lass presidency were not included in the co u n t . Rhodenbaugh confirmed this, explain- .mg that these ballots, a t lea<>t 20 of them a ccor ding to one observer, were marked bnly for one candidate .for the office. Unrler a long-standing council r eeulation, such deficient ballof.s are not counted. Questioned concerning .a possible threat to secret ballot caused by the election pro c e d u re. Rhodenbaugh denied that the lltapling of cards bearing the voter's name cons tituted such a threat. He s tated that the ballot.s itre being stored in a locked bolt in the Dean of Students' office pending a count of the votes '!as t for officers of the .Ar ts eouncil. The c o u n t will tlll<e place Friday, following voting by the p resent freshman class. Presents But o Bunnie 'Playboy' Philosophy by harles Jenkins "I'm sure you all \\·ill be disappointed to know that I'm not in league with the devil?" Yes, "That man from Playboy Anson, 'Smoky' Mount did come and did speak at Loyola." Add1essing the students and faculty at last Fdday's Speak Easy Club, ~1 o u n t presented what was expected of him-conho\ ersial statements. From the opening of his specially prepared 1>tatement thl'Ough his informal closing remar-l<S, Mount kept interested Loyolans stirred up in disagreement, laughter, nlightment, and some confusion. He spoke of the new America which Loyola students could expect to se-e, ('r<'ate, and Jive in a country freed from the shakles of supe1·stition. HE BEGAN HI TAI,K with the rrmark, "You arf!" Ii\ ing in the turmoil of yeasty times." From that point on he began to speak of the revolution occuring in American morals. sex morality in pa1 ticular. "The time has come for man to throw off the superstitions about the body . It is time we did away with the racial foolishness that a man's skin color makes him different or inferior . We will Jive to see many things our society doesn't accept nO\V." Anyway, what happens behind dosed doors isn't other people's business if it doesn't take away their rjghts or infringe upon them." HE THEN proceeded to gh·e the essential credo of Playboy Magazine, the company for which he is director of the college bureau. First, Playboy holds the belief that a person's prh·ate life is not necessarily related to his public contributions. Secondarily. the magazine belie\es "that it's nobody's business what you do in your private life." crat .•• it all d<•pends on whetllC'r you'1e adult or not. Enjoy your life without depJ'i,·ing other people of their rights." Again on morality: ''Morality means the right to ehoose . ) ou can't gi\ e a man credit for being good when he's forced." On birth control: "! don't 'buy' what the Church says about ab tinence. Ab.stinence is unnatural . using sex for kids is what animals do." On free lo\e: "\\'hoa! . No. I don't bl'lie\·e in free love and Playboy doesn't either." On what his daughter's morality will be: "I'm not going to forcf' her to accept or r<:>ject soml'thing. But whate\·er she belieYCS, she will always be free to come and talk with me. If a parent's child can do that, I don't think thC're will be many major problems." This Fric\!'Y will be Speak Easy's last for the year. The special guest will be comedian Shelly Berman.

Cast Terrified of Own Swordplay by Bob Bassi A young man mistakenly believe that his beloved is dead, and kills himself in despair. She then sees his corpse and plunges his dagger into her brea t, thus re-uniting the unlucky couple. Is thi the brief summary of a solemn tragedy or a wild comedy? For Shakespeare it was both. When Shakespeare, with merriment aforethought, deliberately refuses to let us enter into the minds and emotion of the characters that is, when he continually reminds us that those on stage are actors and not living characters - the ac· lion is externalized into the mad· cap force of "The most lament· able comedy, and m o s t cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe" in "Midsummer Night"s dream." But when the Bard does let us enter into the minds and hearts of these same two lo\·ers - when we are shown two young people dragged down by uncontrollable lo,·e and hate, and not actors pretending to be in love the action is internalized into the lyrical tragedy of Ro· meo and Juliet. Using this as a guide, it becomes fairly simple to evaluate a performance of this Shakespeare's earliest successful tragedy. I WA RPRI ED. however, ever, by Miss Larkin's Lady Capulet. I was afraid that a newcomer to the Curtain Guild play. ing oppo ite Egan, might be overwhelmed by his vocal and acting ability. But Miss Larkin showed herseH to be completely at ease in an excellent perform· ance. She has a fine voice for Shakespeare verse and should be a valuable addition to the Guild. Another pillar of the Capulet household was portrayed by Guild veteran Jo Ellen Tomsic. I' faith~ a baud, the Nurse i also a bubbling, if not to bright, lover of Ii re, full of love-certainly in ways a selfish kind of love, for her young charge. An excellent comedianne, Miss Tomsic brought to the part an exu· berance, a warmth, and a fine sen e of the comic. RO)IEO AND JULIET'S other go-between is Friar Lawrence, the epitome of the well-meaning fool. With nothing but the be t of intentions, the good and holy Friar, portrayed by James Hind· man, manages to monk eyWTench the young lovers' last hopes. Hindman's performance as Friar Lawrence and as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in ''Twelfth Night" were high points of buf· foonery. In fact, Hindman's aoil· ity to portray simplicity often surpasse the realm of acting. The sense of social order, bowler and all, was represented by Escalus, Prince of Verona, acted by Robert Shearin. Shearin was able to convey the feeling of authority be cause of his steady, resonant voice and possibly because he was bigger'n anyone else on stage. His "brace o! kinsmen" were a s tudy in contrasts. Adam Lutyn ki turned in a sound pcrforma;,cc as Paris, the sincere suitor innocently en· snarC'd in a situation he does not understand. ON TilE OTHER U ND. Lawrence B. McCauley i mad or, to be more specific, his por· trayal of Mercutio, the man so full of life that he cannot help but interfere with other people's business, was mad and delight· ful. I had hoped McCauley would turn in a bad performance, because I am running out of com· plimentary adjectives. But Mc· Cauley disappointed me, so I can only ay that he wa excellent. Based on McCauley's pa t performances, there are three parts I would like to see him play. They are (and to hang on to your hat) Captain Hook in "Peter Pan," Cyrano de Ber· gerac, and Hamlet. Director William Norri 's staging was, on the whole, quite good, especially in the scenes of comic relief. Particularly excellent was the sequence begi n· ning with Juliet's body being brought down to center s tage and continuing to the end of the play. The total effect was strik· ing. Mr. Morris wisely chose to underplay the obvious themes in order to emphasize the more subtle ones. Thus personal val· ues were substituted for social ones. There were a few strange cuts in the scripts (for example, in Sunday's performance most of the scene in which Juliet is found "dead" in her chambers). THE SET WAS interesting and functional, but there are a few general technical com· plaints. To paraphrase sports ed· itor emeritus Irv Roger's com· ment on McCauley's Richard III, "McCauls is still hurti:n' for sword play." In fact, most of the cast was. Lee Brady and his fencing partner in the f i rs t Bob Egan and Jo Ann Larkin as Lord and Lady Capulet, the parents of Juliet, are hown as a couple blinded by love and hate. scene both seemed more terri· fied oI the fact that he was holding a sword than of their opponent. Only Mike Dudak looked like he knew what he was doing with a sword. And the sound of a tape recorder squeak· ing as it is rewound is distracting. But the fact that most of the criticisms are minor is significant. Reviewing the production is difficult because of the varied performances given in the three day run. One rather envious member of Sunday's audience made a rather obscene comment on the performance of Romeo and Juliet which can be more wholesomely paraphrased into Hippolyta's comment on Bottom's play in M i d s u m m e r Night's Dream": "This is the silliest staff that ever I hea1·d." In answer to him I w o u l d merely add Theseus's answer to Hippolyta: "The best in this kind are but shadows, and the worst are no worse if imagination amend them." IT WAS A UTTLE disconcerting at first to sec these fa. mous feuding houses of fourteen th century Verona clad in nineteenth century formal dress, but once this obstacle and the additional shock of seeing Prince Escalus in a bowler were overcome, the costuming of one high· ly ornate, formalized society was easily accepted in place of another. The only exception to this was Tybalt's outfit in the ball scene. a leftover from the reign of Richard III. Wearing this flowing robe Tybalt (Robert Nadherny) looked like a little boy In his black fur nightie who snuck downstairs to see what a grownup's party is like_J .real· ize that Tybalt traditionally wears black, but there must have been a less obvious cos· tume around somewhere. I hate . to sound as though rm picking on Robert Nadherny, but while we're on the subject his Tybalt was the only performance that did not come off. It wa almost completely passion 1 es s, as though he was only repeating the words someone had said. There was no resemblance to the hot-headed belligerent whose raging fury can be matched only by that of his uncle Capulet. The Travesty of 'Romeo and Juliet' Romeo suifered f r o m the same fault but to a lesser extent and in a more peculiar way. In the earlier scenes which did not require his best, Romeo (Keith Urban) did not give it. In fact, he let down to the point where the scenes suHered. But as the play became more demanding, Urban rose to the role. By the middle of Act I he was in high gear and throughout the second act maintained a consistently high level of performance. AS JULIET, MARY Pat Shelly more than matched her perform· ance in "Midsummer Night's Dream." She is one of the two Juliets I have seen who managed to look like she was only fourteen years old. If you do not think that this is a legitimate comment, then you have never seen Romeo and Juliet played by middle-aged thespians. Furthermore, Miss Shelly was completely natural in the part, thus making the reactions and emotions of a woman who is still a child convincing and all the more tragic. juJiet's parents were also a noble pair. Robert Egan and Jo Ann Larkin, as Lord and Lady Capulet, epitomized outraged pride and dignity as, blinded by love as much as by hate, they forced their daughter into an untenable position. In his first appearance in nineteenth cen· tury dress, Egan looked more like Edward Moulton Barrett than Capulet, but from the mo· ment he began to speak, he be· came the outraged and raging father of Juliet and blood enemy of Montague. Midsummer Night's Tragedy by Lavnence Luck Last weekend, Loyola's Curtain Guild bravely strode forth with Romeo and Juliet, the second play of its "Shakespeare 400" Festival. After the resounding success of A Midsummer Night's Dream, it was to be hoped that Romeo and Juliet would continue the excellent adaptation of Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the performances of last week· end turned out to be a travesty. introduced as !:he moody, letharg- Instead of the passion and dis- ic lover of the inaccessible Rosa· as t er of Shakespeare's "star· crossed lovers," the audience was subjected to an unsatisfying mixture of childish prattling in the first act and amorous whining in the second act. One of the major difficulties lay in trying to uncover a focus or a coherent theme. The idea of the contrast between the young lovers and the hate of the two families was only vaguely hinted at. The em· phasis on the Montagues and the Capulets upsetting the social or· der through their senseless revenge was not to be found in Loyola's presentation. Thus, Escalus' pronouncements at the beginning and the recognition of the families after the lovers have been immolated did not seem to have any thematic !unction. Mr. Morris' interpreta· tion apparently tried to focus on the personal tragedies of Romeo and Juliet and muddled any SO· cial significance that may have been intended. THERE WAS ALSO A nebu· losity upon the love tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. If the concen· tration was meant to lie here, the two major characters would have to be conveyed with extra force and power. Unfortunately, this dramatic dynamism was lacking, not through the dramatic failings o! Romeo or Juliet, but through the fault of the director. In the first act, Romeo, por· trayed by Keith Urban, was first line. He is merely in love with love, not an individual. Up to this point, the adptation was suit· able and logical. But, when Romeo falls in love with Juliet at first sight, there seemed to be no change in his state of emotions. His soaring lyric poetry of the renowned balcony scene played simply as the further mental meanderings of the melancholic lover. There seemed to be no return to the gay, fun-loving Romeo; he still is in love with love. THE PROBLEM OF interpretation became more distressingly evident in the portrayal of Juliet, played by Mary Pat Shel· ley. Although at the outset even Shakespeare intended Juliet as an innocent you n g girl who obediently follows the wishes of her parents, the Curtain Guild's interpretation seemed almost ludicrous. Juliet appeared through· out the first act, except for the balcony scene, in costumes which were obviously designed for a very young girl. Her short skirts did not admit any possibility that this young girl could become involved in a passionate love affair. In Shakespeare's age it would not be unusual for a girl of fourteen to be married. In the time of the social upheavals of the southern Italy of the 1860':> such a situation would have been more unusual. Portrayed as a very young girl, poor Juliet had great di!ficulty in attaining any stature as a lover of passionate nature who seizes Romeo's initiative and proposes marriage. In the second act, Juliet came across as a more vibrant character. Miss Shelley seemed to convey adequately the courage of a woman who would face death and hon·or to regain her husband. Miss Shelley effectively emphasized the maturity that Juliet has gained since her marriage to Romeo. In regard to acting ability, Romeo seemed to be deficient. Mr. Urban did not display the same increase in power that Juliet did. Instead, he delivered his lines as the Romeo still smitten with Rosaline. The fact that this was a real love which had the strength to transform a personality was simply not evident. There was no power in Mr. Urban's performance, a quality which was badly needed especial· ly since Mr. Morris' interpreta· tion seemed to concentrate on the relation of the two lovers. THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL performances ranged from good to bad to worse. LaWTence McCauley as Mercutio, the fun-lov· ing companion and champi6n of Romeo, appeared in a most favorable light. His combination of swift physical action and wit· ty, pertinent conversation provided one of the best characterizations. In fact, one might won· der if Mr. McCauley's talents would not have been more ef. !ectively utilized in a more im· portant role. His early death deprived the play of much of its life. LOYOLA NEWS Jo Ellen Tomsic, as the ribald nurse, executed another of her scene-stealing performances. Her spicy language and tedious wordiness, displayed to the hilt by Miss Tomsic, added more vigor to a play woefully deficient in this area. Lord and Lady Capulet, played by Robert Egan and Jo Ann Lar· kin, were generally adequate as the parents of Juliet. Mr. Egan was able to add a little life into the role of the narrow-minded, socially aware Lord Capulet. The idea of his self-righteot1sness was well brought out. However, it is a little more difficult to picture Mr. Egan as the domineering, blustery father type. That he countenances no insubordination in his home is quite clear; but he seemed a little too refined for the hard, unmoving man Shakespeare probably intended to portray. Miss Larkin, as Lady Capulet, added a refreshing degree of pure melodrama into her portrayal. She was not afraid to en· hance the pure emotion of this character who reaJJy has little dramatic function in the play. FRIDAY NIGHT THE performance was severely h a m. pered by the elements. The winds came howling across the stage and added a touch of the ludicrous to the balcony scene. But, fortunately, we cannot attribute this caprice of nature to any deficiency in the Curtain Guild. My general impression of the play was one of confusion. TI1ere was difficulty in disceming the theme, in discovering the relevance in changing the time and setting, in figuring out the emotional changes in Romeo. • MAY 14, 1964 • 3 ---•Editorials --- • Cr dit hould IJe giH•11 \\ lie1 c CJ ccLt s duL Tht NEWS would Jik<' to l'XJJ'" s appn•dation for the l'fforts of Mr. Walter Dlock to s<'CUll' ta ff facilitit•s at the do\\ ntown campus.

' Helen Hershinow Seminarian 'Inhibitions ' Refuted EL<sewhere In this publication is an interview with Mr. Manuel Ortiz, S.J., a Scholastic from Spain. This man has aroused the admiration of many students because of his interest in student problems and opinions, his organization of the Spanish Fiesta Weekend last semester, his liberal views on academic freedom, and his encouragement of mature student thought. His bearing and activity seem to contrast with criticisms of seminarians as reported by Thomas O'Dea. A layman, O'Dea commented upon the manner in which priests are educated in his book "The American Catholic Dilemma" published in 1958 by Sheed and Ward. He holds that seminary education deserves close attention as a possible source of many of the attitudes which inhibit intellectual development among Catholics. O'DEA GIVES SPECIAL attention to two aspects of seminary and the semjnarian from the educational life of the community as a whole. He says this preserves a kind of artificial element in the relationship between Catholicism in America and the intellectual activity of the nation. Secondly, the attitude cultivated in the seminarian often appears to be characterized by a kind of passive receptivity. One gets the impression that Chris-tian learning is something "finished" and is to be accepted from established authority with a minimum of individual initiative and critical activity. Also, inside the clerical community the principle of authority may be overemphasized. A creative theologian may write 01· say something criticized by authority, and overcautious superio1·s may prevent him from publishing a basically good work. This ban is interpreted by many people as meaning that the man or his work is condemned. However, since there can be ve1·y little creative effort without some error, creativity per se often runs the risk of being condemned. lority attempt to force complex problems to yield to formal s tatements. The door is closed to de· bate, and there is no question which cannot be answered. The third factor is clericali m, an attitude which seeks to perpetuate intellectual dependency of the laity. Persons with this attitude may verbalize a desire to produce intelligent laymen, but do not see that it is impossible to do this without stimulating the laity to an intellectual grasp of Christian thought. As a result initiative is disturbed; lethargy is uncon ciously welcomed. Another factor is moralism in which the world is regarded almost exclusie,•Jy as a place of 'moral danger to the Chris tian soul, and the fifth element is defensiveness in which the role of the Catholic is conceived as that of having in readiness Ca tholic answers to give to non-catholics. I THINK THAT BOTH Ortiz and O'Dea agree that education for both the clergy and the laity . hould act, in O'Dea's de cription, as a Socratic gadfly rathet' than an intellectual tsetse fly. While youth should not be thrown into the depths of modern secular thought to sink or swim, he should be taught to swim. His Christian formation in the intellectual virtues and his worship of God • hould not be a rule of ~afety, but an adventure of the spirit. Individuality Not Lost O'Dea has summarized factors inhibiting the development of CathoHc intellectual activity in America into five basic characteristics. Insofar as these elements exist in seminary training, they undoubtedly affect those taught by the graduates of the seminaries. First is intellectual formalism in which "demons tration" replaces search and formulae replace content. The mind is conducted only into familiar and shallow channels and creative thought is stilted. Chair1nan Thanks Group Editor: clue to a number of other persons who aided substantially the work of the committee, inc-Juding Tom Murphy, Mary Ann Harvey, andy \Viencik, and Eric Ziemer. Editor: In regards to the article by Mary Ellen Dienes entitled "Social Activity, Individual Dignity,'' thc>rP is one paragraph with which I cannot agree. It is that paragraph which slates that an individual can lose her djgnity by giving her "all" to a sorority. It is true that you are expe<" led to give your "all' for the group; however, this "all' should be qualified by a "within reasonable limits." It does not and can never mean your identity as an individual. For if such were the case, we would have an organization comparable to a totalitarian state. Such is the organization to b<: found in Russia. The individual tMre sacrifices his individuality to the state. And this is what we, as Americans, should give ou1· "all" to destroy. A person's most precious posse•>. Sion is hjs individuality and, lo the contrary of Miss Dienes' statement, sorn1·ities at Loyola bring out one's personality; they do not suffocate it. The more a person gives of herself to a sorority, the more she is a person, a better person; the more she knows hersell. Susie Q. Smith is still Susie Q. Smith; the only difference is that now she is a member of Kappa Theta Chi. Iler personality will never be Jost in the c·rowd. For example, when a girl receives an office she performs her duties only as she will, not as the girl before or after her. The office conforms to hernot she to the office. A new president will always bring new thoughts and actions which will change the sorority within the area of her functions. And even girls who do not hold an office show individual creativity in planning booths, floats, dances, etc. At this writing, I'm till only a pledge. For two months I have been in the process of becoming acquainted with sorority girls and I have not found any two who are ilike - who have become less of a person for belonging. II and when I should become a member I intend to give whatever I can to my sorority but I will never give my individuality; that belongs to me and me alone.

Dr. Gordon Zahn Explains Views With hopefully healthy change in the wind, I would like to suggest to the student leaders, particularly the student government officers of next year, that they consider instituting a framework which is ve1·y common on many other college campuses; that is, a political party system. I believe a number of advantages would accrue to such a structure which far outweigh the merits of the present individual system. In the case of a party system a party platform would be presented and there would be considerably more emphasis on issues than on personalities. Moreover, campaign promi es are more likely to be i:emembered by the constituents and acted oh by the officers when they are made by a party than when made by an individual It is possible that a party system would tend to draw the line of distinction between individuals by eparating the Hberals from the conservatives (the haves from the have-nots), those in favor of the status quo from those in favor of change, those wanting power of deci ion in academic matter from U1ose content with the present situation, etc., etc. Student government leaders are often heard talking about the small number of persons ready to work for them. It seems evident that a person joining a political party is ready to give up time and effort for the bettering of the ·chool, and by joining a pa1·ty their names become available to the officers who otherwi e would never come in cont act with them. Editor : There are two or three minor clarifications I should like to add to Mr. Wilderson's report of my recent discussion of pacificism. This is not intended as a critic: lsm of his line reportorial work. Actually, I suspect that the fault Jay in my own failure to make mysell sutficlently clear in the stimulating exchanges so characteri ·tic of the Speak-Easy sessions. admittedly minority) pacifist tradHion. It would be a bit too much to relegate the great theological writers and even saints who have held this position to a "lunatic fringe" classification. A party system would also create a continuity from one year to the next which does not presently exist. As it is now, a potential officer may be working for a completely opposite goal than his predecessor or worse, no goal at all; and, as is the case this year, an officer may run on a platform of ideas and intentions which were tried two years ago and found sadly lacking. First, I would amend the statement that "this degree of paciiicism was the sole domain of a 'lm1atic b·inge' of intellectuals" prior to the emergence of total war as possibility and reality. It would be better to say that it was generally ascribed to such extreme thinkers; after all, the history of the Church includes a rather consistent (though, since tt:e conversion of the Empire, Second, I hope I did not leave the listeners with the conviction that an occupation of this nation following disarmament, even unilateral disarmament, was "inevitable." I am willing to grant that it is possible, even likely under some circumstances; but I did try to make the point that such disarmament could also have the effect of so reducing international tensions (and fears on the part of the so-called "enemy") that it could lead to the creation of that state of mutual trust which, according to John XXIII, is the only basis for "the true and solid peace of nations." FINALLY, I WOULD amplHy the comment about payment of taxes being the act of "rendering to Caesar" what is rightfully his. Of course, I rud not intend this to mean that Caesar has the "right" to oblige one to give financial support to instruments or policies he believes in conscience to be murder. However, the problem lies in the fact that a refusal to pay taxes does involve a failure to give due financial support to the state's legitimate pursuits as well - and this becomes quite a severe problem for one, like myself, who is strongly committed to the position that there are many activities of the state which are not only morally perrnissable but, actually, morally obligatory if the true common good is to be served. GORDON C. ZAHN . Professor ot Sociology A party system would involve many more people than presently have active interest in student government.

If such interest were ever manifested in tudent government, or ii w i th i n ·the framework of a two party ystem, a third party were lo arise, I th i n k the shrewd observer would be justified in concluding that student government was beginning to come of age.

Election is automatic. BEREH:: Since Mr. Fagan did not attend the in ten iew, there was some besitation about endorsing a candidate for this office. However, the committee was impressed with Miss Berek's originality of thought on school problems, her personal approach to go\'ernment, and her concept of the function of the Arts Council. For these reasons, she received the committee's endorsement.

He believes a college student is old enough to have his own opinions and to be convinced of what he believes, and does not see any appreciable risk in im·iting speakers to say what they wish. Rather, he says, the greater risk is in not allowing students to hear eertain views, for they will only be exposed to them 1ater where they will not have the opportunity to compare viewpoints with their classmates and faculty at a Catholic college. ORTIZ • AY THAT HI. J(•suit training should prPpare him to be a man of id<•a.·, rC'~ponsibility, and help to othPrs.

Only when the Jesuit rereh·es the type of training that demands that he constantly think things out for him· sell will he insist on the same from the students he tC'arhes, and thus follow the ideals of St. Ignatius.

Ortiz feels a Jesuit should not limit himself to classwork; he is both professor and priest, and it is his duty to provid~ opportunities for personal contact between himself and his students. Only through this contact can a Jesuit be a friend, guide, example, and genuine person to his students as Ignatius recommends. Through his com·ersations with students, Ortiz has noted that students do not have clear ideas about what they believe. He says that to a great extent their beliefs have been imposed upon them; they yet need to be convinced deeply. He is cirLtical of "mass education" methods in which teachers think for students and students are pressured to think like their teachers. He would prefer small classes of well selected students taught by great t eachers. However, with such ideal conditions unlikely, he advocates the use of closed circuit television so that good lectures can be heard by all. He would cut down on the number of required courses in theology and philosophy, as is done in some other Jesuit institutions, and have what is essential taught with new approaches aimed at stimulating the student to think and come to an intellectual grasp of his faith. Ortiz talked about student government at the college he attended in Spain. There the government meets monthlv with the faculty and adminLstration, and has a large say in the hearing of any student threatened with expulsion. The students give their officers power when they elect them, and agree to abide by any proclamation they make. However, student government also enforces its proclamations. For instance, if it calls a class boycott for a certain period, student government representatives will block the doors of classrooms to prevent entry. Rifle Team Adds to Statur e, Cops CRRL Tourney Crown The Loyola rifle team added to their stature in the Midwest, when under pressure the marks· men "Shot" their way past Illinois In s ti t u t e of Technology Navy Team, in a sudden death match to determine first place in the Chicagoland ROTC Rifle League, on Apr il 25, 1964 at De Paul university and in doing so, added thi rteen more trophies to their collection. Loyola shot a score of 1369 to IIT Navy's 1344. This win also enabled Loyola to lake the CRRL Tournament Championship and gave Loyola a four year won THESES Ortiz is wholeheartedlv in favor of open discussion of issues. He differentiates between two kinds of professors: those who know their material and welcome ques- Recognizing a lack of power in student government here, Ortiz recommends that students initiate ,more dialogue with the administration so that they might persuade administrators to share their point of view. He believes Loyola students need to be more positive in their criticisms, to be better mannered in delivering them, and to argue the issues themselves, not the man or group holding them. He also sees fraternities as a source of untapped power and would urge the Interfraternity council to become active in student and civil rights movements. AND TERM PAPERS Typed, edited.

Some issues may have missing or mutilated pages. ________________________________ _. __________ ._._._. __________ Review NA TO 's 15 Years First Atlantic Community Day Loyola's first Atlantic Community Day presenting a diversified array of foreign government speakers proposing various national concepts of NATO, opened befor e a sparse crowd May 7, in the Georgetown room. Se tting the tone for the morn- --- --- ing talks, Alan H. Cambell, a member of the United Kingdom's mi ss ion to the United Nations, speaking on "NATO: Bulwark of Western Defense," reviewed NATO's origin and a chievements in its 15 year history. The well known series of events leading up to the Organization's fo r m a tion, f rom the realization of the Russian threat ill 1918 to the NATO a greemen t, April 7, 1949, was br iefly touched on th rough a tracing of the se>rics of agreements, the Mars hall Pla n, Treaty of Dunkirk, B1·usscls T rea ty, a nd the Vandenb<' rg Resolution. INTERESTI GLY, l\tR. Cambcll's choice of the central ele· mcnt leading to NATO's formation wa the fin al commitment by the United Sta tes and the reversal of Washington's old admonition a gains t "entangling a lliance ." Growth of the world community mus t lead to in ter· dependence, Mr. Cambell contend , but greater coopera tion and a lowering of tension should not fos ter a lowering of the milita r y g uard. Concerning the futu re, Mr. Cambell foresees the "ultimate weapon" as the gr eatest prob· lem to be faced by the NATO powers. It is on this question of dis tl'ibution of nuclear power that nahvnalistic feelings were most evident among the speakers. Questioned about a nucleai· force for NATO, Mr. Cambell would favor a nuclear deterrent for NATO to see how it "could work" yet Britain wiH continue to ma intain its own nuclear deterrent in addition to that countri s participation in mutual co· operation. Disappointingly, Jean Beliard, Consul-General of France to Chicago, who was to s pea k on "NATO Reassessed: New Outlook," and pre ent the Gaull<' t position on the Atlantic Community, did not speak. In his stead, Dr. Francis Schwarzenberg of the P olitical science department presented various official state- .LOY.OLA· NEWS' Vol. XLlll - No. 26 Chicago, Illinois May 14, 1964 94th Honors Convocation I Awards Presented to by George Sullivan "The pat·ticular aim of Loyola university is to develop 1he student's intellectual potential. This Honors Convocation, our 94th, will this evening offer congraulations to the scholae student." With these introductory remarks, the Rev. Joseph S. Pendergast, S.J . Dean of the College of Arts and Scier.ces, greeted an audience of over seven hundred students and parents at the Honors Convocation. last Sunday, May 10, 1964, in the Lake Shore Campus Center.

The Honors Con\'ocation was also the occasion .for the presC'nta tion of the academic awards of fif teen departments. The Ve>1y Rev. J ames F. Maguire, p resident of Loyola Uni' ·ersit), pr C's lded over the convocation and delivered the main address of the evening. mony, Rev. P endergast awarded Scholastic Honors Keys to sixteen sen iors, besides tho e in the Honors P rogram, who will graduate cum laude or magna cum laude by reason of an average of at least 3.5 over the past seven :;emesters. The next prese nta tion of a w a r d s was to those seniors, juniors and sophomores, and freshman, who had mainta ined a scholastic a verage of 3.2 or higher in the past two semesters . The Very Rev. Mag uire, S.J ., presented the Scholastic Honors Certificate s to some 260 worthy students.

Matthew R. J . Giuffre, went to lHatthew Ig no!fo, Edwin Millet, John Sheer, a nd William Herr. The Ling uis tic Merit Awards of the Modern Language DPnartment were dis tribu ted as .follows : French, Lawrence L uck; German, James M. P alanchar; Italian, Nance Raash Russian, Romuald Mis iunas Spanish, Edward Wong, J r. The Bellarmine Philosophy Award went to Mar-mcnts illus trating the French position. Bas ically, France wishes to achieve its own, national nuclear deterrent sh o u Id the United States take the position thal lhe defense of Europe is no longer inhC'r cnt to its own defense. DcGa ulle's "Europe for E uropeans" would promote a redis tribution of r espon ibility, a rcslructuring of the Alliance, a neutralization of S.E. As ia, recog nition of Red China, and a reevaluation of European union. DcGaulle's u ltimate dis trus t of a shared nuclear force within NATO depends upon his conception of France as the leader of the Eurnpean community. Il r C'mains to be seen whether Britain will be accepted as a ' natural member of the community. BETWEEN FRANCE AND the Anglo-Saxon union stands Germany whose stand Dr. Karl Leu teritz, Deputy Cons ul General, German Consulate of Chicago, presented in "The Dilemm a of NATO: Military AJJiance or Closer Political Community." Dr. Leuteritz admits thal NATO is more than a military a greement and that the primary conflict between the sig natories and Russia is ideological.

RC'cognizing G<.'rmany's unique position and her r ecent integration in to NATO after the Paris a gl'ecme nts in 1954, Dr. Leurtcritz noted t h a t all of Germany's forces are under NATO command. Germany is committed to NATO, and in replying to a que ~ion , Dr. Leuteritz admitted that offe r by the Eas t German governmenl for r eunification would not be accepted if rejection of NA TO were a r equirement. Germany has found itself burdened with a commitment to both Franc e and the United States. Promotion of a multi· lateral force would promote a grcate1· non-military alliance, a goal which would foster grea ter economic growth for Germany, yet Germany is also c I o s e l y aligned wi th the European community which is dominated by France. It re m a ins for the United States to find a middle road. PRE ENTING THE FINAL word for the morning session, Raymond Cour tney, Bureau of E uropean Affairs, United State.~ S tate Department, r eviewed .America's ma jor s tep in transAllantic involvement a nd the des ire for common military defense, economic be tterment, and political and social advancement. Two interesting points were mentioned in Mr. Courtney's talk. Fir, t. 1\11'. Courtney mentioned the possibility of expanding the Nor th AUantic Community to the South American countries This s treng thening of the West· ern bloc may prove very nece!'sary in order to maintain poli· tical stability in the Southern Hemi phere. Second, the mos t important problem is the restrncturing of NATO to comply with t he chang ing balance between East and Wes t. Since the Cuban con ¥ontation, Ame1·ica's prestige and the Westem defense community has strengthened itself and the European countries havf' demanded a stronger economic and poli tical involvement in in· ternational affairs. T he Unitec:I States' desire is .for a system bv which we attempt to share the nuclear role yet not spread nuclear capabilities to lPsser, and per haps more i rrespons ibl e. count r ies. NA TO w o u l d have been the per.feet vehicle for this pr ogram of shared responsibility yet F rance's rejection of the plan demands some sol u ti on more amenable to ri ing E uropean nationalism. FR. MAGUIRE STRESSED t ha l "s ince education itseli is nol immune to fashion, the collt• ge of today draws particular e 111pha ·is to excellence in stud•<' s." Ile r ela ted how as a "benelit of the post-Sputnik age, the university which takes public notice of its scholarly students is in fashion today ." "For the past 94 year s, the various presidents of this university and the honor students have been gathering, "Father recalled. He congratulated the slucl<.'nts" on an achievement, not attained without much exertion." In concluding, Fr. Maguire presented the studenls with their mandatum: "Because \\f your native endowment and .laudable ambition, you students will be able to make a signifi· cant contribution to your society and your religion. However, to be able to someday make a vital contribution, you must today spend a lengthy period of time in study. Study for the greater glory of God and .for your fellow men who are his ~ons and daughters." INDIVIDUAL ACADEl\IIC A\\' ARDS were n ext on the agenda. The President's Scholarship Key was awa rded to William Clune, the graduating senior with the high es t overall scholastic average. Fr. Mag uire also presented this key . The Reverend Walter P . Peters, S.J., the Acting Chairman of the Biology Department, pr esented class awards to senior, Florence Kowalczyk, j u n i o r , Marion Caporusso, sophomore, Erncsl Stiller, and Freshman, Paul Bessette. Miss Kowalczyk also received the award in Biology Research. Fletcher Sweeps Senior Election; Junior Class Chooses Garvey Upon the conclusion of the speech of Very Rev. James J. Maguire, Rev. Carl J.

'Tom Rhodenbaugh, this year's senior class president, clarified !Wo ponts concerning the election. It was r eported that a nwnller of ballots for the j uniot· <'lass presidency were not included in the co u n t . Rhodenbaugh confirmed this, explain- .mg that these ballots, a t lea<>t 20 of them a ccor ding to one observer, were marked bnly for one candidate .for the office. Unrler a long-standing council r eeulation, such deficient ballof.s are not counted. Questioned concerning .a possible threat to secret ballot caused by the election pro c e d u re. Rhodenbaugh denied that the lltapling of cards bearing the voter's name cons tituted such a threat. He s tated that the ballot.s itre being stored in a locked bolt in the Dean of Students' office pending a count of the votes '!as t for officers of the .Ar ts eouncil. The c o u n t will tlll<e place Friday, following voting by the p resent freshman class. Presents But o Bunnie 'Playboy' Philosophy by harles Jenkins "I'm sure you all \\·ill be disappointed to know that I'm not in league with the devil?" Yes, "That man from Playboy Anson, 'Smoky' Mount did come and did speak at Loyola." Add1essing the students and faculty at last Fdday's Speak Easy Club, ~1 o u n t presented what was expected of him-conho\ ersial statements. From the opening of his specially prepared 1>tatement thl'Ough his informal closing remar-l<S, Mount kept interested Loyolans stirred up in disagreement, laughter, nlightment, and some confusion. He spoke of the new America which Loyola students could expect to se-e, ('r<'ate, and Jive in a country freed from the shakles of supe1·stition. HE BEGAN HI TAI,K with the rrmark, "You arf!" Ii\ ing in the turmoil of yeasty times." From that point on he began to speak of the revolution occuring in American morals. sex morality in pa1 ticular. "The time has come for man to throw off the superstitions about the body . It is time we did away with the racial foolishness that a man's skin color makes him different or inferior . We will Jive to see many things our society doesn't accept nO\V." Anyway, what happens behind dosed doors isn't other people's business if it doesn't take away their rjghts or infringe upon them." HE THEN proceeded to gh·e the essential credo of Playboy Magazine, the company for which he is director of the college bureau. First, Playboy holds the belief that a person's prh·ate life is not necessarily related to his public contributions. Secondarily. the magazine belie\es "that it's nobody's business what you do in your private life." crat .•• it all d<•pends on whetllC'r you'1e adult or not. Enjoy your life without depJ'i,·ing other people of their rights." Again on morality: ''Morality means the right to ehoose . ) ou can't gi\ e a man credit for being good when he's forced." On birth control: "! don't 'buy' what the Church says about ab tinence. Ab.stinence is unnatural . using sex for kids is what animals do." On free lo\e: "\\'hoa! . No. I don't bl'lie\·e in free love and Playboy doesn't either." On what his daughter's morality will be: "I'm not going to forcf' her to accept or r<:>ject soml'thing. But whate\·er she belieYCS, she will always be free to come and talk with me. If a parent's child can do that, I don't think thC're will be many major problems." This Fric\!'Y will be Speak Easy's last for the year. The special guest will be comedian Shelly Berman.

Cast Terrified of Own Swordplay by Bob Bassi A young man mistakenly believe that his beloved is dead, and kills himself in despair. She then sees his corpse and plunges his dagger into her brea t, thus re-uniting the unlucky couple. Is thi the brief summary of a solemn tragedy or a wild comedy? For Shakespeare it was both. When Shakespeare, with merriment aforethought, deliberately refuses to let us enter into the minds and emotion of the characters that is, when he continually reminds us that those on stage are actors and not living characters - the ac· lion is externalized into the mad· cap force of "The most lament· able comedy, and m o s t cruel death of Pyramus and Thisbe" in "Midsummer Night"s dream." But when the Bard does let us enter into the minds and hearts of these same two lo\·ers - when we are shown two young people dragged down by uncontrollable lo,·e and hate, and not actors pretending to be in love the action is internalized into the lyrical tragedy of Ro· meo and Juliet. Using this as a guide, it becomes fairly simple to evaluate a performance of this Shakespeare's earliest successful tragedy. I WA RPRI ED. however, ever, by Miss Larkin's Lady Capulet. I was afraid that a newcomer to the Curtain Guild play. ing oppo ite Egan, might be overwhelmed by his vocal and acting ability. But Miss Larkin showed herseH to be completely at ease in an excellent perform· ance. She has a fine voice for Shakespeare verse and should be a valuable addition to the Guild. Another pillar of the Capulet household was portrayed by Guild veteran Jo Ellen Tomsic. I' faith~ a baud, the Nurse i also a bubbling, if not to bright, lover of Ii re, full of love-certainly in ways a selfish kind of love, for her young charge. An excellent comedianne, Miss Tomsic brought to the part an exu· berance, a warmth, and a fine sen e of the comic. RO)IEO AND JULIET'S other go-between is Friar Lawrence, the epitome of the well-meaning fool. With nothing but the be t of intentions, the good and holy Friar, portrayed by James Hind· man, manages to monk eyWTench the young lovers' last hopes. Hindman's performance as Friar Lawrence and as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in ''Twelfth Night" were high points of buf· foonery. In fact, Hindman's aoil· ity to portray simplicity often surpasse the realm of acting. The sense of social order, bowler and all, was represented by Escalus, Prince of Verona, acted by Robert Shearin. Shearin was able to convey the feeling of authority be cause of his steady, resonant voice and possibly because he was bigger'n anyone else on stage. His "brace o! kinsmen" were a s tudy in contrasts. Adam Lutyn ki turned in a sound pcrforma;,cc as Paris, the sincere suitor innocently en· snarC'd in a situation he does not understand. ON TilE OTHER U ND. Lawrence B. McCauley i mad or, to be more specific, his por· trayal of Mercutio, the man so full of life that he cannot help but interfere with other people's business, was mad and delight· ful. I had hoped McCauley would turn in a bad performance, because I am running out of com· plimentary adjectives. But Mc· Cauley disappointed me, so I can only ay that he wa excellent. Based on McCauley's pa t performances, there are three parts I would like to see him play. They are (and to hang on to your hat) Captain Hook in "Peter Pan," Cyrano de Ber· gerac, and Hamlet. Director William Norri 's staging was, on the whole, quite good, especially in the scenes of comic relief. Particularly excellent was the sequence begi n· ning with Juliet's body being brought down to center s tage and continuing to the end of the play. The total effect was strik· ing. Mr. Morris wisely chose to underplay the obvious themes in order to emphasize the more subtle ones. Thus personal val· ues were substituted for social ones. There were a few strange cuts in the scripts (for example, in Sunday's performance most of the scene in which Juliet is found "dead" in her chambers). THE SET WAS interesting and functional, but there are a few general technical com· plaints. To paraphrase sports ed· itor emeritus Irv Roger's com· ment on McCauley's Richard III, "McCauls is still hurti:n' for sword play." In fact, most of the cast was. Lee Brady and his fencing partner in the f i rs t Bob Egan and Jo Ann Larkin as Lord and Lady Capulet, the parents of Juliet, are hown as a couple blinded by love and hate. scene both seemed more terri· fied oI the fact that he was holding a sword than of their opponent. Only Mike Dudak looked like he knew what he was doing with a sword. And the sound of a tape recorder squeak· ing as it is rewound is distracting. But the fact that most of the criticisms are minor is significant. Reviewing the production is difficult because of the varied performances given in the three day run. One rather envious member of Sunday's audience made a rather obscene comment on the performance of Romeo and Juliet which can be more wholesomely paraphrased into Hippolyta's comment on Bottom's play in M i d s u m m e r Night's Dream": "This is the silliest staff that ever I hea1·d." In answer to him I w o u l d merely add Theseus's answer to Hippolyta: "The best in this kind are but shadows, and the worst are no worse if imagination amend them." IT WAS A UTTLE disconcerting at first to sec these fa. mous feuding houses of fourteen th century Verona clad in nineteenth century formal dress, but once this obstacle and the additional shock of seeing Prince Escalus in a bowler were overcome, the costuming of one high· ly ornate, formalized society was easily accepted in place of another. The only exception to this was Tybalt's outfit in the ball scene. a leftover from the reign of Richard III. Wearing this flowing robe Tybalt (Robert Nadherny) looked like a little boy In his black fur nightie who snuck downstairs to see what a grownup's party is like_J .real· ize that Tybalt traditionally wears black, but there must have been a less obvious cos· tume around somewhere. I hate . to sound as though rm picking on Robert Nadherny, but while we're on the subject his Tybalt was the only performance that did not come off. It wa almost completely passion 1 es s, as though he was only repeating the words someone had said. There was no resemblance to the hot-headed belligerent whose raging fury can be matched only by that of his uncle Capulet. The Travesty of 'Romeo and Juliet' Romeo suifered f r o m the same fault but to a lesser extent and in a more peculiar way. In the earlier scenes which did not require his best, Romeo (Keith Urban) did not give it. In fact, he let down to the point where the scenes suHered. But as the play became more demanding, Urban rose to the role. By the middle of Act I he was in high gear and throughout the second act maintained a consistently high level of performance. AS JULIET, MARY Pat Shelly more than matched her perform· ance in "Midsummer Night's Dream." She is one of the two Juliets I have seen who managed to look like she was only fourteen years old. If you do not think that this is a legitimate comment, then you have never seen Romeo and Juliet played by middle-aged thespians. Furthermore, Miss Shelly was completely natural in the part, thus making the reactions and emotions of a woman who is still a child convincing and all the more tragic. juJiet's parents were also a noble pair. Robert Egan and Jo Ann Larkin, as Lord and Lady Capulet, epitomized outraged pride and dignity as, blinded by love as much as by hate, they forced their daughter into an untenable position. In his first appearance in nineteenth cen· tury dress, Egan looked more like Edward Moulton Barrett than Capulet, but from the mo· ment he began to speak, he be· came the outraged and raging father of Juliet and blood enemy of Montague. Midsummer Night's Tragedy by Lavnence Luck Last weekend, Loyola's Curtain Guild bravely strode forth with Romeo and Juliet, the second play of its "Shakespeare 400" Festival. After the resounding success of A Midsummer Night's Dream, it was to be hoped that Romeo and Juliet would continue the excellent adaptation of Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the performances of last week· end turned out to be a travesty. introduced as !:he moody, letharg- Instead of the passion and dis- ic lover of the inaccessible Rosa· as t er of Shakespeare's "star· crossed lovers," the audience was subjected to an unsatisfying mixture of childish prattling in the first act and amorous whining in the second act. One of the major difficulties lay in trying to uncover a focus or a coherent theme. The idea of the contrast between the young lovers and the hate of the two families was only vaguely hinted at. The em· phasis on the Montagues and the Capulets upsetting the social or· der through their senseless revenge was not to be found in Loyola's presentation. Thus, Escalus' pronouncements at the beginning and the recognition of the families after the lovers have been immolated did not seem to have any thematic !unction. Mr. Morris' interpreta· tion apparently tried to focus on the personal tragedies of Romeo and Juliet and muddled any SO· cial significance that may have been intended. THERE WAS ALSO A nebu· losity upon the love tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. If the concen· tration was meant to lie here, the two major characters would have to be conveyed with extra force and power. Unfortunately, this dramatic dynamism was lacking, not through the dramatic failings o! Romeo or Juliet, but through the fault of the director. In the first act, Romeo, por· trayed by Keith Urban, was first line. He is merely in love with love, not an individual. Up to this point, the adptation was suit· able and logical. But, when Romeo falls in love with Juliet at first sight, there seemed to be no change in his state of emotions. His soaring lyric poetry of the renowned balcony scene played simply as the further mental meanderings of the melancholic lover. There seemed to be no return to the gay, fun-loving Romeo; he still is in love with love. THE PROBLEM OF interpretation became more distressingly evident in the portrayal of Juliet, played by Mary Pat Shel· ley. Although at the outset even Shakespeare intended Juliet as an innocent you n g girl who obediently follows the wishes of her parents, the Curtain Guild's interpretation seemed almost ludicrous. Juliet appeared through· out the first act, except for the balcony scene, in costumes which were obviously designed for a very young girl. Her short skirts did not admit any possibility that this young girl could become involved in a passionate love affair. In Shakespeare's age it would not be unusual for a girl of fourteen to be married. In the time of the social upheavals of the southern Italy of the 1860':> such a situation would have been more unusual. Portrayed as a very young girl, poor Juliet had great di!ficulty in attaining any stature as a lover of passionate nature who seizes Romeo's initiative and proposes marriage. In the second act, Juliet came across as a more vibrant character. Miss Shelley seemed to convey adequately the courage of a woman who would face death and hon·or to regain her husband. Miss Shelley effectively emphasized the maturity that Juliet has gained since her marriage to Romeo. In regard to acting ability, Romeo seemed to be deficient. Mr. Urban did not display the same increase in power that Juliet did. Instead, he delivered his lines as the Romeo still smitten with Rosaline. The fact that this was a real love which had the strength to transform a personality was simply not evident. There was no power in Mr. Urban's performance, a quality which was badly needed especial· ly since Mr. Morris' interpreta· tion seemed to concentrate on the relation of the two lovers. THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL performances ranged from good to bad to worse. LaWTence McCauley as Mercutio, the fun-lov· ing companion and champi6n of Romeo, appeared in a most favorable light. His combination of swift physical action and wit· ty, pertinent conversation provided one of the best characterizations. In fact, one might won· der if Mr. McCauley's talents would not have been more ef. !ectively utilized in a more im· portant role. His early death deprived the play of much of its life. LOYOLA NEWS Jo Ellen Tomsic, as the ribald nurse, executed another of her scene-stealing performances. Her spicy language and tedious wordiness, displayed to the hilt by Miss Tomsic, added more vigor to a play woefully deficient in this area. Lord and Lady Capulet, played by Robert Egan and Jo Ann Lar· kin, were generally adequate as the parents of Juliet. Mr. Egan was able to add a little life into the role of the narrow-minded, socially aware Lord Capulet. The idea of his self-righteot1sness was well brought out. However, it is a little more difficult to picture Mr. Egan as the domineering, blustery father type. That he countenances no insubordination in his home is quite clear; but he seemed a little too refined for the hard, unmoving man Shakespeare probably intended to portray. Miss Larkin, as Lady Capulet, added a refreshing degree of pure melodrama into her portrayal. She was not afraid to en· hance the pure emotion of this character who reaJJy has little dramatic function in the play. FRIDAY NIGHT THE performance was severely h a m. pered by the elements. The winds came howling across the stage and added a touch of the ludicrous to the balcony scene. But, fortunately, we cannot attribute this caprice of nature to any deficiency in the Curtain Guild. My general impression of the play was one of confusion. TI1ere was difficulty in disceming the theme, in discovering the relevance in changing the time and setting, in figuring out the emotional changes in Romeo. • MAY 14, 1964 • 3 ---•Editorials --- • Cr dit hould IJe giH•11 \\ lie1 c CJ ccLt s duL Tht NEWS would Jik<' to l'XJJ'" s appn•dation for the l'fforts of Mr. Walter Dlock to s<'CUll' ta ff facilitit•s at the do\\ ntown campus.

' Helen Hershinow Seminarian 'Inhibitions ' Refuted EL<sewhere In this publication is an interview with Mr. Manuel Ortiz, S.J., a Scholastic from Spain. This man has aroused the admiration of many students because of his interest in student problems and opinions, his organization of the Spanish Fiesta Weekend last semester, his liberal views on academic freedom, and his encouragement of mature student thought. His bearing and activity seem to contrast with criticisms of seminarians as reported by Thomas O'Dea. A layman, O'Dea commented upon the manner in which priests are educated in his book "The American Catholic Dilemma" published in 1958 by Sheed and Ward. He holds that seminary education deserves close attention as a possible source of many of the attitudes which inhibit intellectual development among Catholics. O'DEA GIVES SPECIAL attention to two aspects of seminary and the semjnarian from the educational life of the community as a whole. He says this preserves a kind of artificial element in the relationship between Catholicism in America and the intellectual activity of the nation. Secondly, the attitude cultivated in the seminarian often appears to be characterized by a kind of passive receptivity. One gets the impression that Chris-tian learning is something "finished" and is to be accepted from established authority with a minimum of individual initiative and critical activity. Also, inside the clerical community the principle of authority may be overemphasized. A creative theologian may write 01· say something criticized by authority, and overcautious superio1·s may prevent him from publishing a basically good work. This ban is interpreted by many people as meaning that the man or his work is condemned. However, since there can be ve1·y little creative effort without some error, creativity per se often runs the risk of being condemned. lority attempt to force complex problems to yield to formal s tatements. The door is closed to de· bate, and there is no question which cannot be answered. The third factor is clericali m, an attitude which seeks to perpetuate intellectual dependency of the laity. Persons with this attitude may verbalize a desire to produce intelligent laymen, but do not see that it is impossible to do this without stimulating the laity to an intellectual grasp of Christian thought. As a result initiative is disturbed; lethargy is uncon ciously welcomed. Another factor is moralism in which the world is regarded almost exclusie,•Jy as a place of 'moral danger to the Chris tian soul, and the fifth element is defensiveness in which the role of the Catholic is conceived as that of having in readiness Ca tholic answers to give to non-catholics. I THINK THAT BOTH Ortiz and O'Dea agree that education for both the clergy and the laity . hould act, in O'Dea's de cription, as a Socratic gadfly rathet' than an intellectual tsetse fly. While youth should not be thrown into the depths of modern secular thought to sink or swim, he should be taught to swim. His Christian formation in the intellectual virtues and his worship of God • hould not be a rule of ~afety, but an adventure of the spirit. Individuality Not Lost O'Dea has summarized factors inhibiting the development of CathoHc intellectual activity in America into five basic characteristics. Insofar as these elements exist in seminary training, they undoubtedly affect those taught by the graduates of the seminaries. First is intellectual formalism in which "demons tration" replaces search and formulae replace content. The mind is conducted only into familiar and shallow channels and creative thought is stilted. Chair1nan Thanks Group Editor: clue to a number of other persons who aided substantially the work of the committee, inc-Juding Tom Murphy, Mary Ann Harvey, andy \Viencik, and Eric Ziemer. Editor: In regards to the article by Mary Ellen Dienes entitled "Social Activity, Individual Dignity,'' thc>rP is one paragraph with which I cannot agree. It is that paragraph which slates that an individual can lose her djgnity by giving her "all" to a sorority. It is true that you are expe<" led to give your "all' for the group; however, this "all' should be qualified by a "within reasonable limits." It does not and can never mean your identity as an individual. For if such were the case, we would have an organization comparable to a totalitarian state. Such is the organization to b<: found in Russia. The individual tMre sacrifices his individuality to the state. And this is what we, as Americans, should give ou1· "all" to destroy. A person's most precious posse•>. Sion is hjs individuality and, lo the contrary of Miss Dienes' statement, sorn1·ities at Loyola bring out one's personality; they do not suffocate it. The more a person gives of herself to a sorority, the more she is a person, a better person; the more she knows hersell. Susie Q. Smith is still Susie Q. Smith; the only difference is that now she is a member of Kappa Theta Chi. Iler personality will never be Jost in the c·rowd. For example, when a girl receives an office she performs her duties only as she will, not as the girl before or after her. The office conforms to hernot she to the office. A new president will always bring new thoughts and actions which will change the sorority within the area of her functions. And even girls who do not hold an office show individual creativity in planning booths, floats, dances, etc. At this writing, I'm till only a pledge. For two months I have been in the process of becoming acquainted with sorority girls and I have not found any two who are ilike - who have become less of a person for belonging. II and when I should become a member I intend to give whatever I can to my sorority but I will never give my individuality; that belongs to me and me alone.

Dr. Gordon Zahn Explains Views With hopefully healthy change in the wind, I would like to suggest to the student leaders, particularly the student government officers of next year, that they consider instituting a framework which is ve1·y common on many other college campuses; that is, a political party system. I believe a number of advantages would accrue to such a structure which far outweigh the merits of the present individual system. In the case of a party system a party platform would be presented and there would be considerably more emphasis on issues than on personalities. Moreover, campaign promi es are more likely to be i:emembered by the constituents and acted oh by the officers when they are made by a party than when made by an individual It is possible that a party system would tend to draw the line of distinction between individuals by eparating the Hberals from the conservatives (the haves from the have-nots), those in favor of the status quo from those in favor of change, those wanting power of deci ion in academic matter from U1ose content with the present situation, etc., etc. Student government leaders are often heard talking about the small number of persons ready to work for them. It seems evident that a person joining a political party is ready to give up time and effort for the bettering of the ·chool, and by joining a pa1·ty their names become available to the officers who otherwi e would never come in cont act with them. Editor : There are two or three minor clarifications I should like to add to Mr. Wilderson's report of my recent discussion of pacificism. This is not intended as a critic: lsm of his line reportorial work. Actually, I suspect that the fault Jay in my own failure to make mysell sutficlently clear in the stimulating exchanges so characteri ·tic of the Speak-Easy sessions. admittedly minority) pacifist tradHion. It would be a bit too much to relegate the great theological writers and even saints who have held this position to a "lunatic fringe" classification. A party system would also create a continuity from one year to the next which does not presently exist. As it is now, a potential officer may be working for a completely opposite goal than his predecessor or worse, no goal at all; and, as is the case this year, an officer may run on a platform of ideas and intentions which were tried two years ago and found sadly lacking. First, I would amend the statement that "this degree of paciiicism was the sole domain of a 'lm1atic b·inge' of intellectuals" prior to the emergence of total war as possibility and reality. It would be better to say that it was generally ascribed to such extreme thinkers; after all, the history of the Church includes a rather consistent (though, since tt:e conversion of the Empire, Second, I hope I did not leave the listeners with the conviction that an occupation of this nation following disarmament, even unilateral disarmament, was "inevitable." I am willing to grant that it is possible, even likely under some circumstances; but I did try to make the point that such disarmament could also have the effect of so reducing international tensions (and fears on the part of the so-called "enemy") that it could lead to the creation of that state of mutual trust which, according to John XXIII, is the only basis for "the true and solid peace of nations." FINALLY, I WOULD amplHy the comment about payment of taxes being the act of "rendering to Caesar" what is rightfully his. Of course, I rud not intend this to mean that Caesar has the "right" to oblige one to give financial support to instruments or policies he believes in conscience to be murder. However, the problem lies in the fact that a refusal to pay taxes does involve a failure to give due financial support to the state's legitimate pursuits as well - and this becomes quite a severe problem for one, like myself, who is strongly committed to the position that there are many activities of the state which are not only morally perrnissable but, actually, morally obligatory if the true common good is to be served. GORDON C. ZAHN . Professor ot Sociology A party system would involve many more people than presently have active interest in student government.

If such interest were ever manifested in tudent government, or ii w i th i n ·the framework of a two party ystem, a third party were lo arise, I th i n k the shrewd observer would be justified in concluding that student government was beginning to come of age.

However, the committee was impressed with Miss Berek's originality of thought on school problems, her personal approach to go\'ernment, and her concept of the function of the Arts Council. For these reasons, she received the committee's endorsement.

He believes a college student is old enough to have his own opinions and to be convinced of what he believes, and does not see any appreciable risk in im·iting speakers to say what they wish. Rather, he says, the greater risk is in not allowing students to hear eertain views, for they will only be exposed to them 1ater where they will not have the opportunity to compare viewpoints with their classmates and faculty at a Catholic college.

Ortiz feels a Jesuit should not limit himself to classwork; he is both professor and priest, and it is his duty to provid~ opportunities for personal contact between himself and his students. Only through this contact can a Jesuit be a friend, guide, example, and genuine person to his students as Ignatius recommends. Through his com·ersations with students, Ortiz has noted that students do not have clear ideas about what they believe. He says that to a great extent their beliefs have been imposed upon them; they yet need to be convinced deeply. He is cirLtical of "mass education" methods in which teachers think for students and students are pressured to think like their teachers. He would prefer small classes of well selected students taught by great t eachers. However, with such ideal conditions unlikely, he advocates the use of closed circuit television so that good lectures can be heard by all. He would cut down on the number of required courses in theology and philosophy, as is done in some other Jesuit institutions, and have what is essential taught with new approaches aimed at stimulating the student to think and come to an intellectual grasp of his faith. Ortiz talked about student government at the college he attended in Spain. There the government meets monthlv with the faculty and adminLstration, and has a large say in the hearing of any student threatened with expulsion. The students give their officers power when they elect them, and agree to abide by any proclamation they make. However, student government also enforces its proclamations. For instance, if it calls a class boycott for a certain period, student government representatives will block the doors of classrooms to prevent entry.

He believes Loyola students need to be more positive in their criticisms, to be better mannered in delivering them, and to argue the issues themselves, not the man or group holding them.
