Archbishop Sheen lectures Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, acclaimed clergyman, author, lecturer, and radio-TV per- sonality, addressed an overflowing crowd on September 9 in the Loras fieldhouse. His lecture, entitled 'Three Loves', marked his third visit to Loras College. Introduced by Msgr. Frances Freidl, President of Loras College, as being retired, Archbishop Sheen kindly replied, I am not retired, only retreaded. The main essence of his speech was a description of the three types of love. In Greek terms, they are eros , philia , and agape . Eros , according to Sheen, is the kind of love to which there is an ultimate attraction such as the love between a man and a woman. He believes that there has been a degeneration of eros to- day. Eros has been equated with erotic which entails pornography and an impersonal meaning of love. The second type of love, philia is the love for humanity-a love for fellow man. It is an all- embracing kindness for others. Archbishop Sheen explained, You can't like everybody but you can love everybody-this is philia . Captivating the audience's attention Archbishop Sheen gave an interpretation of the third type of love, agape . This love came with Christianity and signifies the love of God becoming man. To love the unlovable is agape. This type of sacrificial love, a love for others without con- cern for ourselves, is what Archbishop Sheen believes is becoming extinct in our world. on 'Three Loves' Archbishop Sheen enthralls the audience with his inspiring words. Archbishop Sheen concluded his speech by stat- ing that the saying, Anything is all right if you love is false. He stressed that only if you know the meaning of love and forget your selfishness can you experience love. .l'Y.n.1I!-4-, it--ll llill The archbishop bids farewell to the applauding crowd.

opens Loras Players '75 season A requiem for a salesman. Death of a Salesman revolves around Willy Loman and his realization that his life has been a failure. Willy has failed because he refused to accept life as it really was. He believed you could get through life on good looks and a smile. lf you were well liked, you had it made. The real world started catching up with Willy and at the age of 63, he has been fired from his job, his bills keep mounting up, his sons haven't amounted to anything and he is retreating more and more into the past. Willy's answer to all of this was suicide. He viewed suicide as revenge, love, and even a victory, thinking his death would bring his family the in- surance money. The real tragedy of Willy Loman is he took his life to justify the wasting of it. Caught within this tragedy are Linda, his wife, whose love for Willy overcomes his temper and massive dreams: and his sons, Biff and Happy, who have never amounted to anything because they too started to believe Willy's dream world philosophy. Willy Loman was brilliantly portrayed by junior Bill Renk, whose performance was complimented by the sensitivity of Mary Campbell's Linda. Two newcomers to Loras College, Pat Leydon and Chuck Zembillas, portrayed Willy's sons. Play- ing minor roles were Joe Schuver as Charlie, Tom Hanson as Bernard, and Bob Paul as Uncle Ben. Kathy Keller, Dan Heithoff, Martha Wadle, Janice Kochneff, Maribeth Vogel, Steve Abolt. and Rory Delagardelle rounded out the cast. The show was directed and designed by Don and Lauretta Stribling.

Hughes and Mankiewicz ' ' ' On October 28. l974, the Loras Student Senate sponsored an informal program headed by Senators Harold Hughes and Mike Blouin. The chapel basement was well filled with over one hundred Loras and Clarke students, faculty members and concerned Dubuque citizens. The famous Senator Hughes spoke on the change in moral standards, today's political system, and expressed support for Blouin in his campaign for Congress. The senators answered questions from the audience about such timely topics as wage and price controls, income taxes, welfare reform, antitrust laws, price fix- ing. amnesty, the population explosion. and the need for more honest and dedicated leadership. The entire program was well presented by the senators and well received by all those present. This was the last political speaking engagement for Senator Hughes in Dubuque before his term ex- pired. The Loras Student Senate presented Mr. Frank Mankiewicz, who spoke on the future of American politics, November 6, I974. His qualifications and background include work with the Peace Corps, writing speeches for both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and authoring the best selling book, Perfectly Clear: the Future of American Politics. Mankiewicz was also the national campaign manager for George McGovern, the i972 Democratic Presidential candidate. Before an audience of tri-college faculty and students, he commented on such varied topics as voting, the rise and fall of the Nixon administration, Watergate, the United Nations War, the American spirit. public confidence, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Presidential leadership now and in the future. A question and answer period following the formal presentation brought up such topics as our nation's political structure, the possibility of a major third political party and a comment as to whether McGovern will run again. Mankiewicz's answers were optimistic and displayed his knowledge of the inner political circles. All in all it was a very informative afternoon. view politics Above: Mike Blouin listens intently to Senator Hughes. Below: Frank Mankiewicz talks turkey about politics. Y- 9 Wi 'L-' 752 'U 'f.
