ng 1- patents associates f loyola Established in the spring of IOS . the specific purpose of Parents Associates of Loyola is to encourage the par- ents of high school seniors to talk to their sons and daughters about Loyola and the benefits of a Jesuit edu- cation. PAL accomplishes its end by appointing parents of present Loyola students to contact the parents of high school seniors. The Parents Associates contend that many questions of a personal nature. questions regarding Loy- ola's tuition. its educational programs. and its facilities. can be answered most effectively informally: hence PAL's determination to develop a personal touch through the home visits of its workers. Lfnder the general chairmanship of Mr. and Mrs. Ger- ald Pierce. PAL operated under a three-fold program: so- cial activities, fund-raising drive,and admissions program. The social program, directed by Mr. and Mrs. Mau- rice DI. McCarthy. included three annual events: a re- ception for freshman parents, a Christmas party. and a dinner party in April. To help make up the difference between the tuition paid by students and the actual cost of education. PAL members have solicited funds from fellow Loyola parents for the specific purpose of rais- ing faculty salaries. Last spring. 257 PAL couples re- ceived 630 pledges totaling over 520.500, By means of this annual program. headed this year by Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Pallasch.Loyola will continue to maintain faculty salaries at a scale comparable to that of larger universities. The final function of PAL is the admissions program, this year under the chairmanship of Mr. and Mrs. Mau- rice McCarthy. Its key feature is personal counseling, and through this the members of PAL aim to increase the number of qualified students who apply for admis- sion to the University. This year over 5.100 parents were contacted. This program must receive at least partial credit for an astonishing 442 increase in freshman en- rollment this year.

SAL has one goal: the advance- ment of Loyola University. The work of SAL is gi- gantic, but its results are productive. This year's program has progressed to unprecedented heights in accomplishment, for it has resulted in a 1009?- increase over last year's total contacts of Chicagoland's high school seniors. This means that better than 2,800 persons at the secondary education level have been in- formed of the many opportunities which the University can offer to its students. More than any other organi- zation at Loyola, SAL gives its members an opportunity to render direct service to the University. The Executive Committee, the governing body, is com- posed of representatives from the sororities, fraternities, academic societies, and independents from both cam- puses. Embodied in this group is the spirit, diligence. and perseverance that has made SAL what it is today. Because of the large measure of its success, SAL is beginning to enlarge its scope of contact. Wlith the adoption of the men's and women's dorms into its mem- bership, SAL has inaugurated new procedures, giving it the facilities of reaching students in distant places by employing the efforts of out-of-town students in their home towns. According to Larry Gerber, the general chairman of SAL this year: SAL has become firmly established as a key student organization. The importance of its goals is self-evident, but these goals could never have been reached without the great support which it received from students and organizations. 27 eg'
