The New Residence Hall For many years the Archdiocese of Dubuque has prayed and worked that it might have a seminary of its own in which it might prepare the young men of the diocese for the ‘‘work of Christ. ’ The many years of effort and planning have borne fruit in Mount St. Bernard Theological Seminary. With the grace of God these endeavors not only supplied the Archdiocese with a theological seminary, but also con- tributed toward the erection of a building for the priesthood students of Loras College. Construction of the new edifice began in the middle of November of 1952, and its prospective residents have been eagerly observing its erection, story by story. It is the hope of the College to open the doors of the new building in the forthcoming school year. The building, situated on the north side of the Rock Bowl, will house one hundred and sixty students. Its com- anding view of the Loras campus will serve as special note for all visitors to the college of its importance in properly molding “other Christs.” A name for this new residence hall has not yet been selected, but the cornerstone was laid by Their Excellencies Archbishop RohIman, Archbishop Binz, and Bishop Lane on the feast of Saint Joseph. the Patron of the college. Tt is a tribute to these three that such a building could be erected for the honor and glory of Christ. our King. five ptdmintstration , 4 () 4 His Excellency The Most Reverend Henry P. Rohlman, D.D.

Delta Scgma 1953 Purgold Award Winner The Purgold is happy to present this year's award for outstanding service to the college in 1953 to Delta Sigma, off-campus student or- ganization. Under the guiding hand of the Rev. William Kunsch, Delta Sigma has become one of the leading groups on the campus. Activi- ties began with a mixer, then the Harvest dance, followed by a smoker, a communion breakfast, bowling mixer, a second communion breakfast, another smoker with sport films, and finally the spring picnic. The group, a fraternity of all off campus stu- dents, chose as officers the following men: George Murphy, Pres: Tom Doyle, Vice Pres; Joe Cronin, Sec.; George Kleist, Treas.; Tom Ries, Rep. to Student Senate. forty-six Ro SSS The Rev. William Kunsch, Moderator, and George en i j eSS. phy, President, express their joy over Delta Sig’s succ: Natioual Federation Ever since Loras College became active in the National Federation of Catholic College Students three years ago, it has done marvelous work. This year has indeed been one of the most successful years Loras has seen in the Federation. The method of operation for NFCCS consists chiefly in the sev- eral national commissions which are set up in almost every con- ceivable field of Catholic student interest, Mariology, Student Gov- ernment, Liturgy, Family Life, Liturgy, Human Relations, Inter- racial Justice, Press, Social Service and Catholic Action. These com- missions prepare yearly programs, and send out countless numbers of Suggestions, program ideas, and activity schedules which are to be utilized by related campus groups. The junior and senior delegates, plus the regional officers, have as their jobs the implementing of this complete program, plus originat- ing whatever they feel can be of Particular use to their campus. Here NFCCS serves as a sounding board and a meeting ground for the ex- change of ideas between its hun- dreds of member colleges. The member colleges in the Iowa Region are Loras, St. Am- brose, Clarke, Marycrest, Mt. Mer- cy and Ottumwa Heights. Region- al projects included a Fall Work- shop at Cedar Rapids, the Press Workshop at Clarke College, the Catholic Action Workshop at Marycrest and the Mariology-Li- turgy workshop at Loras. This year, NECCS sponsored the annual Charity Boxing bouts, which drew some 1000 people to the field house on March 21. forty-seven of Catholic College Students (Top) Seated: Bernie Kurtz, Senior Delegate; Bill Schwartz, Mariology.

Its aims are several, but all of them are directed so as to add to the honor and traditions of Loras College. It attempted to correlate the various campus activities with those of our sister institutions, Clarke College and Mercy School of Nursing. Freshman orientation on the part of the student body was ini- tiated by this year's Senate group. It took form in the ‘Big Brother Program , which all would agree was a great step forward in mak- ing the frosh feel at home. It is the Senate’s hope to have this pro- gram progress as the years go by. The Social Calendar, ably or- ganized, deputized, and supervised, was also an initial step in the right direction for better organized so- cial activities. A large share of the credit for the accomplishment of this goes to Dave Rock (now stu- dying abroad), Bill Joffe, Bill He- ber, and Don Washburn. The Homecoming Dance and the Spring Prom, the big dances of the year, are handled by the Sen- ate. The Social, Decorating, and Publicity Committees make the necessary arrangements, Since the Senate is comprised of representa- tives of the campus organizations and the representatives of the four classes, it endeavors to pass and en- act legislature truly representative of the entire student body. : Soccal The Social Committee, composed of Hugh Hoyle, Tom Ries, and Dick Pfohl, under the direction of Al Carretta, took care of the ma- ny dances this year. First on the agenda was the formation of the Social Calendar in col- laboration with Mercy and Clarke. The two major dances of the year were ably handled by the Committee. The Homecoming dance was a huge success, music by Car- roll Baker. The Spring Prom, held on May 1, owed much of its success to the work of the Social Committee, Decorating In order for a major so- cial event to be a success a good theme must be chosen and then carried out in origi- nal decorations. This rather difficult, but most necessary task is carried out by the Decorations Committee. The men on this committee did fine jobs on both the Home- coming and the Spring Prom. Everyone will long remember the Homecoming crystal ball which was created under the guiding hand of the Rev. Ed- ward P. Sullivan, Many thanks are due to Dan Overack, Dick Merkel, Dan Ketchmark, Dave Brom, Dick Wheeler and Jack Ross- deutcher. These lads wielded the hammers, saws and paint brushes in order that Loras’ dances might be a colorful success. (Above) The men behind the social scene.

The Loras College Band is made up of fellows who have any sort of musical ta lent at all, and want to get some true pleasure in making use of it. Its membership is open to anyone who enjoys playing a musical in- strument and is willing to do a little practice in accomplishing the high standards that this group has held. This organization, under the able direction of Vaughn Gayman, provides as much personal enjoyment for those who take part in its activities as it does for anyone who has ever heard any of its varied selections. If you have ever heard that little Dixie number, ‘‘When the Saints Come Marching In, ’ you know what a good band number can do to spark a throng of fans. The band’s half time programs at the football games are a wonderful help to get your mind off the cold feet you may have. For the “boys in gold’ are always there to entertain you during breaks in football and basketball games. Always a highlight of the season are the annual trips to St. Ambrose with the Loras teams. Then the band really shows its stuff in the traditional ‘battle of the bands'’ with one trying to out do the other in variety and quality. There aren't many bands with the diversity that is found in the group at Loras. In one minute you coul d hear them bring down the rafters to the beat of ‘‘Ham Boogie’’, and in the next they will settle down to the more sedate “Atlantis Suite’, which was the feature number in this year’s Christmas Concert. Two concerts are presented annually by the band, one at Christmas time and one in Spring. Many of the band’s more accomplished musicians are featured in solos at these affairs. Always a favorite at |oras are the trumpet solos of the terrific new addition to the Loras Band, Joe Costa. Also very popular are clarinetist. James Keefe, Jerry Touhy on the baritone horn, and Pat Flynn and his drums. This year the Loras College Glee club again Presented their annual operetta. With over a cast of sixty voices, the Rev. Albert L. Carman directed “Robin Hood” by Gilbert and Sulli- van. There were six Loras men playing in the lead roles. They were Tom Boyd as Robin Hood, Jim Klinger as Friar Tuck, Loren Kula who portrayed Sir Guy, Glen Pickart as Little John, Jack Romberg as the Sheriff, and Jim Cover as Will Scarlet. Opposite Tom Boyd in the leading female voice was Mary Jane Orbann from Clarke College. The operetta was presented on Sunday and Monday evenings: November 22 and 23 at 8:15 p.m. There was a record crowd in attendance, almost filling to capacity the Clarke College auditorium. The Loras College Glee Club is a separate or- ganization from the Choir: however, several Choir members also take part in Glee Club pro- grams. This operetta is the chief performance of the year. During the latter part of the month of May, the Loras College Glee Club and Choir combined with the Clarke College Glee club and Presented their annual spring concert, in which nearly 100 students took part.

Chocr With the closing of the 1953 school year the Vested Choir brought its forty-fourth season to a successful close. The choir was founded in 1909 by Rev. Alphonse Dress for a purpose of which it has never lost sight, that of singing the weekly Solemn High Mass on the Loras col- lege campus and Solemn and Pontifical ceremonies through- out the year such as singing at the Cathedral on Palm Sun- day. The choir renders an invaluable sery ice to the locali- ties represented in its members by the instruction in the properties of Catholic Church music and especially of Gregorian chant, the true music of the Liturgy. Tom Boyd, Jim Byrnes, Bill Joffe, Paul Rastatter, Tom McInnis, Lou Kollasch, Frank Benda, Greg Han- fifty-two than, and Bill McDermott comprise the Loras College schola. The official work of the schola is the singing of ang propers during the Solemn High Mass. These men have exe tra practices during the week plus the normal practices that the entire choir has. This year, the choir made a tour of many of the cities and towns in the western part of Iowa. The tour danced from May 3 to May 6. The choir also sang at the Music Festival at Clinton, Iowa and in a joint session with Clarke Choral Society at that College for the annual Clarke-Loras Choral Concert. Francis Steffen is the President and William Joffe the Secretary: for the past four years the choir has been under the capable direction of the Reverend Albert [.. Carman. Towa Future “Seachers pbssoctatiou The Iowa Future Teachers’ Association has again had a very successful year on the Loras campus. The year's activities began with a fall dance which was well attended and helped boost the treasury. This in turn enabled the group to further its activities. The North East Iowa Regional Meeting was held at Loras this year and attract- ed future teachers from a number of Iowa schools. Several Loras men were delegated to the State Meet- ing and also to another North East Regional Meeting at the Mason City Junior College. These meetings take the form of workshops and ideas and helpful hints are ex- changed, in addition to talks by educational authorities. (Right) Mr. Anton Slechticky and the officers of IFTA prepare for one of their regular meetings. Left to right: Bob Cizek, Vice-President; Larry Hart, Treasurer; Mr. Slechticky; Jerry Till, President; Bob Tweed, Vice-President of the N.E. Iowa Region. Cliff Lorenz, Secretary, is not pictured. (Below) The entire group which gath- ered for the Regional Meeting held at Loras in October. Regular meetings are held on the campus and guest speakers provide both the interest and the education. One of the most interesting meetings of the year was one at which Mr. Wilfred Johannsen of the Loras Spanish de- partment. and Principal of Washington Junior High School in Dubuque: staged an interview with Jerry Till. President of IFTA at Loras. Jerry, taking the part of a prospective teacher, was questioned to the fullest by Mr. Johannsen. This gave the other men in the group an idea of what to expect, when, in a year or so, they too will be suestioned in much the same way. Fine rows The Fine Arts Guild was organized at Loras in the attempt to arouse interest, all too often ab- sent in the student body, in the different phases of the Arts. The meetings of the club give its mem- bers an opportunity to hear talks by authorities in the various fields which comprise the fine arts; and also afford them a chance to express their own opin- ions in lively group discussions. This year's activities were highlighted by lec: tures by members of the college faculty. The Rev. Edward P. Sullivan opened the first meeting with a talk on “‘Advancement of Fine Arts in Catholic Colleges.'’ Other topics were: “Art and Medium,” by the Rev. James Donohue; and a slide-lecture of ancient Greek civilization by the Rev. William Most, moderator of the Guild. Frank Miller, one of the guild's own members, presented a piano recital at the end of the season. Foreustes The Forensics group is new on the campus this year and consists of those students registered in the Inter-Collegiate Debate Class, a part of the regular curriculum. Two practice debates were held this year with Saint Ambrose College and after each session constructive criticisms were offered, although the de- bates themselves were not judged or rated. There were two meets this year which attracted much attention. The Iowa Forensic Association Meet was held at Luther College in Decorah and the de- baters ended the session with a win two, lose six record. The second meet was that of the Inter-Col- legiate Forensic Association at Iowa City and the boys scored three wins and five losses.

Rev. William Collins, The main purpose of the club is to present a medium for the presentation of topics of philo- sophical interest, and a means of pro- moting enthusiasm for and devoted- ness to truth. This year's club, somewhat con- trary to the modern conception of the subject and method of enquiry, devoted itself to discussions of some of the practical problems which face the present day world. Topics which have been discussed this year include the political philosophy of the United States: a four man debate centered on the 1952 Republican campaign slo- gan, ‘It’s time for a change’’; the ethics of Communism, with special emphasis on the communist philoso- phy of revolution; and finally the philosophy of modern art.

This hard-working organiza- tion exemplifies the true courtesy of Loras men which has created a spirit of goodwill with the public. The ushers efficiently handle their duties, under the direction of their moderator, the Rev. Wilfred Johannes, and head usher, Al Carretta. Upon their shoulders rests the responsibility of seating and managing the crowds at all school functions. familiar to those loyal Lorasmen who attend the home football and basketball contests. These five fellows are the Loras College Cheerleaders and it is their vitality and determination that encourages the Loras cheering section to support our Duhawks. It is no easy task to keep the spirits high when your team is twenty or thirty points ahead in a pig- skin encounter, or your cagers are drubbing a team by twenty-five points, but the cheerleaders gave it their best and managed to keep the Loras rooters at a high pitch during the football and cage seasons.

It is named after the Roman meeting house whose walls resounded with the words of bril- liant orators. So too, the Curia is dedicated to better speaking. This group limits its membership to thirty so that all will have an opportunity to use their talents during the year. It is customary for the Curia to meet once a week, if possible, on Saturday. At each meeting between two and four members speak, and three members are selected as judges who in turn offer constructive criticism of the speeches. Topics have varied everywhere from art to life in the Army. Topics of current national interest are often the subject for a debate.

Karl Schroeder. Bolstered by the presence of Leo G, Carroll, famous Hollywood and Broad- way character actor, they put on one of the most enjoyable performances of the year. Mr. Carroll, who starred in the Broadway production of the same play, delighted the audience with his amusing characterization of the old-fashioned Irish priest, Father Moynihan. The women who seemed to be responsibile for causing all the difficulty in the life of this lovable parish priest were: Patricia Donohue, as the naive Jenny: Cynthia Craemer as the fuss- budget housekeeper: and Bernadette Dreyer, the overly plump school girl, whom Father Moynihan advised on the principles of reducing.

The ‘Curious Savage,’’ by John Patrick, was the third offering of the season. This three-act comedy, which takes place in The Cloisters, an asylum for the demented in a Massachusetts town, is an elaboration on the notion that per- haps those we call insane are really more sane than those we call normal. It contains well measured amounts of both striking pathos, and rib-splitting humor. Marianne McCarthy, playing in the title role of Mrs. Savage, did an admirable job in portraying the eccentric but likable woman who has been placed in an asylum by her selfish children, Cast in the roles of her children were Edward L. Krolak, as Samuel, an undistinguished judge; Cliff Lorenz, as Vitus the meddling senator: and Beverly Dolphin, as Lily Belle the society climber. Mrs. Savage has always wanted to use her wealth in a charitable but odd fashion. Her children, fearing that they will lose all that money, attempi to have their mother adjudged insane and thereby acquire full possession of the estate. Their plot, however, fails miserably, and Mrs. Savage triumphantly leaves them nothing. Beal of | Thy.

Robert Kaliban portrayed the architect William of Sens, who was corrupt with a hateful pride, that led to his down- fall. In the rebuilding William was fatally injured, but on his deathbed he repented his fault, mainly through the efforts of the Venerable Prior, played by John Garry. The chorus of angels who watched over the proceedings, cautioning and reprimanding, were played by James Ryan, Robert McKillip. James Beggin, and Richard Runde.

These sports- minded men have been the greatest boosters of sportmanship in all campus activities. Its large membership and the quality of its members helps in making the organization an example of the true school spirit that should be exhibited by all of the students at Loras College. Robert L. Gilbert, a junior from LaCrosse, headed the L Club’s decoration committee for the Homecoming festivities. He led the letter bearers in erecting a mammoth Loras quarterback, constructed by Jack Burgmeier, that adorned the entrance to Keane Hall. The Rev. Louis Ernsdorff was the Moderator of the club, and Eugene Ben- son, senior from Denver, Colo., was its representative to the Student Senate. Chub Delta Epetlou Sigma Delta Epsilon Sigma is a national honor society for students and graduates of Catholic colleges and universities. The group was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1939. The Most Reverend E. A. Fitzgerald, now Bishop of Winona, Minnesota, but then Dean of Studies at Loras, was a leader in the formation of the society. Selection for the group is is made by a faculty committee of Delta Epsilon Sigma members and is made on the basis of leadership, scholarship. and general ability. The following fourteen men were chosen from this year’s graduating class. JOHN W. COLLOTON, a Com- merce major from Mason City, Iowa, was president of the senior class and a member of the Commerce Club. JOHN A. DONOHUE, a Chemistry major, makes his home in Chicago, Illinois. BERNARD J.DRAHAZOL, a Commerce major from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was a member of the Commerce Club and a champion as far as the intramural sports program was con- cerned. JOHN D.

The Lortan. the Purgold, and even the Alumni News, are all offspring of the Spokesman. However the old girl didn't stop to celebrate, she just went on publishing the stories, es- says, and verses of Lorasmen. She hoped that each issue would be her best: sometimes it was, sometimes not. Bill Joffe held down the editor's chair for the second year. Helping him in the tricky job of putting the old lady in shape for her pub- lic appearances were the associate editors, John Farrell, Jim Ryan, and Bob Tweed. Dave Zaehringer as the Book Review Editor contributed a new feature this year, Potpourri, which was a sort of bookish version of Dorothy Kilgallen’s column. Dave Brom and Bill Mills contributed the sketches which livened up the old girl's pages, and Joe Russell and Carl Trutter kept her in cir- culation. The Spokesman has her tradj- tional niche here at Loras and yet she has a way of stepping out each year in a new dress and with some new ideas in her pages, just to let everyone know that she is still around, and alive, and kicking, So here’s a toast to the old girl: To the Spokesman. in the hope that the end of the next fifty Years will find you still at Loras, and still a vital and interesting part of the college scene.

Supervised by its mod- erator, Mr. Lester Becker, the Club aims to provide its members with information not obtainable through the commerce curriculum at Loras College. This informa- tion which is of a business nature is made obtainable through field trips, speakers, job studies, movies, discussions and other media. The club is composed of juniors and seniors who are majoring in commerce or accounting, and who are enrolled in an upper level course in commerce. They have an ambition to go forward and a de- sire to increase their knowledge of commercial endeavors. Thomas Kress, a senior from Dubuque, was elected President of the organization; and Edward Ri- chert, a senior from Chicago, was chosen as Secretary. Activities commenced in Febru- ary with a lecture and demonstra- tion by a representative from the International Business Machine Corporation. He pointed out the need for men in that field, and illustrated the many advantages available for qualified men. In April, a field trip was made to a business firm in town that had these machines in use. This enabled the members to examine the work- ings of the machines and to wit- ness their usefulness. The CSMC unit at Loras set out in the beginning of the year to set a new record in bringing in money for the Mission Field. Everyone was greatly pleased over the returns from the pop, ice cream, candy, hot dog, and delicious coffee sales at the foot- ball games. when along came the basketball games which proved to be another bonanza. But it seemed that all hope for a record was lost as the usu- ally successful St. Pat’s Mission Auction neared. Two days be- fore the auction Charlie Yetmar was begging on hands and knees for “‘just anything. ’ Then ar- ticles fell, “as if from heaven ’, and enough for two auctions was carried to the auction hall. The auctioneers were outstand- ing, the ‘buys’’ were terrific, ind pockets were bulging What else could happen?—The Missions netted $717.04, well over the record set in 1952. The famed Matilda sold for $100, another record. But this wasn’t all! St. Her- menegild, a good friend of St. Pat, but not to be outdone, of- fered another auction on_ his feast day, although the articles left from St. Pat's Auction were used. This added another $250 plus to the fund, raising the year's total to over $2260.00. (Top) Charlie Yetmar, President of CSMG, and the other officers take a look at the results of their year’s work.

At the meet- ing the monthly meeting prayers are said, and, absolution from faults committed against the rule is given by the Director, the Rev. Joseph B. Malvey, O.P. This talk is usually on the Third Or- der, its ideals, rule, and practice of the rule. During the school year, 1952- 1953, besides the regular meetings, the Third Order took on a few ex- tra projects. Primary among these was the Angelic Warfare drive. In this drive members of the Third Order distributed over one hun- dred-and-fifty Purity Cords. (Top) Fr. Malvey and the Third Order Dominicans.

Despite a poor start in pre-holiday cage action which saw Loras win only four of 11 contests, the young and talented aggregation slipped into high gear at the start of the new year and proceeded to capture 13 of their next 17 games.

Loras won the first meeting 93-71, but then dropped three successive g ames by scores of 77-67, 89-87, in an overtime, and 94-77.

Loras’ overall league record was 7-0, a mark which gave them the title in the northern division of the Iowa conference. Power hitting and clutch pitching were the key to Loras’ winning for- mula. Lefty Vince Tiano was the Duhawks’ top pitcher with a perfect record of seven straight wins, his best year in his career with the Loras nine. Tiano’s outstanding performance was a masterful two-hit seven inning relief appearance against defending champion Buena Vista college at Storm Lake. The veteran chucker rescued starter Tom Schneider in the third inning with the bases loaded and nobody out. Retiring the sides without allowing a run to score, Tiano held the powerful Buena Vista batters to a pair of hits and one unearned run the rest of the route. Meanwhile, Loras scored the winning run in the eighth inning for a 3-2 victory. Big Romie Gales, veteran third sacker, represented the power in the Loras lineup. He collected the most number of hits (17), drove in the most runs (12) and collected three home runs while compiling a .362 batting average. Rain twice cancelled a return game with Buena Vista. Conference commissioner Morey Eby also ruled that there would be no playoff between Loras, the northern division champion, and Simpson, the south- ern titlists, for the conference championship because the game would have had to been played following the end of the academic school year.

The Duhawks were particularly weakened in the track events when a pulled leg muscle rendered sprinter Carl Warner ineffective for the entire spring. Warner had been a mild sensation as a freshman in 1951 when he established a new Loras record of :50.8 in the +40-yard run. An injury to Jack Burgmeier, holder of the Loras discus record, ruined the Duhawks’ chances for scoring heavily in field competition. Johnny Richard, a hard working competitor, was the Duhawks’ top scorer, earn- ing points in both high and low hurdles and in the pole vault. At the lowa Conference finals Richard won first in the 220-yard low hurdles, fourth in the 120-yard high hurdles: and fifth in the pole vault.
