X V ' 4 Y 2 1037 : Symphony House About three years ago, Wilson Hall used to house the Union, ARA, the LSC bookstore, Student Activities, WLUC, The Loyola News, The Loyolan, Cadence, the Afro-Ameri- can Society and LSGA. With the opening of Mertz Hall, the Union and food service, the bookstore, Student Activities, the newspaper and student government were suc- cessfully relocated. But the radio station, yearbook, literary magazine and the Afro- Americans- all four organizations having very large memberships- needed more room than Mertz could provide. The Afro-American So- ciety lnow LUASAD asked that the university-owned building east of the Coffee House be given to them for a black cultural center, but were told the building was to be demol- ished and the land was to be used for parking. Loyola's Latin Ameri- can students organized to form LA S0 and were also looking for a home base. Former director of Student Activi- ties James Robinson saw these problems and proposed Symphony House as the solution. The univer- sity-owned two-flat at 1037 West Loyola Avenue was rennovated to accommodate student groups and named Symphony House , in hopes that its occupants would coexist in harmony. The creation of 1037 is one of the most successful of the university's recent projects. The university supplied 1037 oc- cupants with old office furniture from university storerooms and paint. Members of the individual groups decorated and personally supplied whatever else was needed- partly because of budget austerity and partly because of pride in having something to call their own. The uni- versity maintenance staff made it- self available for cleanup, carpentry work and plumbing and electrical repairs. All offices in 1037 serve as places to hold meetings and carry on the normal production work of the groups. WLUC broadcasts from its studios in Symphony House and has its own record library there. .1 LASO, during the Conference for New Voters, served as headquar- ters for the Chicano caucus and meeting place for conference or- ganizers. LUASA has used part of its space for tutoring purposes. The yearbook processes its own film and prints its own pictures in the fa- cilities it has set up. Cadence maga- zine holds weekly meetings for sub- mission and discussion of student and faculty poetry and graphics. The spirit of cooperation does exist at Symphony House. Some of the groups, especially WLUC and The Loyolan, share many members. 1037 's organizations all agreed to give WLUC the proceeds from the building's coke machine as a small help toward the station's drive to go FM. And plans are now being made to provide a large meeting roomllounge to be used by all building occupants.

, Assusl ' ' owen I What Ever Happened to the Coffee House? The Coffee House was once a place where you could hear some good stu- dent entertainment, hold a meeting or have a party, attend Free Uni- versity courses, meet with admin- istrators, or just sit around to read or talk. What used to be the Coffee House is now called the Assisi Center. And the name is not all that has changed. The Center is slowly becoming the headquarters for campus ministry . Father Donald Hayes, SJ, newly ap- pointed Vice President, Campus Ministry, and director of the Assisi Center, explains that the Coffee House's functions as a social cen- ter and place of entertainment will be taken over by the proposed Cam- pion Hall Rathskeller. Campion's basement is well equipped for food service. The Coffee House was not and couldn't afford the costs of sup- plying it adequately for this purpose. Father Hayes also feels that poor attendance of weekday Coffee House programs also justifies the Assisi Center's new orientation. The building at 1132 West Loyola Avenue is still the site for meetings, however. Several of LoyoIa's serv- ice organizations, the Christian Life Community, Pentacostal groups and the Volunteers Interested in People have used the facilities for their work. Drug talks have been given there, and discussions of important student issues are slated for the future. The Coffee House - Assisi Center transition is a slow, deliberate one. Father Hayes holds a position which did not exist at Loyola until this year. He returns here after a year of teaching at the Rome Center, and it is taking him some time to assess the campus situations at LSC, LT and the medical-dental centers. Father Hayes hopes to survey the Loyola student body and to establish service and counseling programs for students, faculty and staff. His biggest problem right now is that of making the potentials of the center known to the Loyola community. Father feels that a missionary approach might be necessary and is considering contacting resident students door-to-door. ll
