Otto Earle Otto is the Superintendent of the Physical Plant. ln his domain are the care of the power house, which supplies both heat and air-conditioning to all Lake Shore Campus buildings, the custodial services, maintenance of both grounds and buildings, as well as all new con- struction and remodeling. Approximate- ly one hundred of the staff personnel report to Mr. Otto. The preparation and administration of all projects pertaining to the Physical Plant, except security, are in his charge. Mr. Otto is a family man, married to Paula in I942. He has two married daughters who live in Glenview, Illinois and Southport, North Carolina. He brings broad experience to his work at Loyola which began in June of l97O. After five years of service in the U.S. Army Engineers Corps, terminated in I946. he went to Northwestern Universi- ty, Chicago Campus, Building and Grounds Department. He stayed there until I952 when he joined the staff of IIT. As for his contacts with Loyola faculty and students, he feels that they have been on a high and human level. He has tried to be available to expressions of needs and service, although his resources are not unlimited and so has occasionally had to work out some kind of compromise between the desires of faculty and students and the realities. He finds the Loyola students and faculty hard-working and dedicated to im- proving the school, with his cooperation, by all the means at their disposal. He takes great satisfaction in his contribu- tion to the efforts that build up the Loyola University community and lead to the goals that the community is work- ing for. In I972, he and Mr. James Lanahan were the recipients of service awards from SAB. He was both surprised and delighted, as was his wife. l ' ,wa e i- i . ,.,., A ur' A .. Q-

Don King It's been worth it. The frustrations. the disappointments. the aggravations. and the failures have been outweighed by the growth I've experienced as a person thanks to the new people and ideas l've encountered here at Loyola. There have been very unique and beautiful people here as well as trying disagreeable ones. There have been very creative and liberating ideas nourished here, as well as overemphasized trivialities. But I can say without a doubt that my life is different now from when I came to Loyola. and in many ways that I had never anticipated. thanks to those new ideas and people. I suppose that when a person can say that he has encountered new things which have carried his life to a point that he had not anticipated. that person has been engaged in an adventure. I like to think of my years here at Loyola as an adventure. I like to think of life as an adventure too. Maybe that's what makes everything worth it. 9 Wiggfd fl at 5:3 if . i1TFT f'f' .af--.,f':,:. -' -- a 1 xngmyz, ,v -Y l 5 6-firm? iifszisi fsfililffw ' 1 V 1. fi .e eil- ' . .2 P' , I gg ml Z' 17X Frank Giambrone When I was asked to write something about my experiences at Loyola for the yearbook. a series of events flashed through my mind-events both en- joyable and otherwise that I will never forget. My first two years at Loyola were spent like those of most other students: going to an occasional class. going to work. and going out to date and drink. But after those two years. I was able to come into contact with the other Loyola. the Loyola that unfortunately. few students get to know. I believe my experiences with the SAB will be invaluable to me. For example. how many people can say they have been able to persuade a Congressman to swallow a goldfish? If the opportunity ever arises again, I shall be ready. fish in hand and phone booth nearby. LThe glories of a well-rounded education are endless.D Later. I was fortunate to become chair- man ofthe SAB. an honor rivaled only by the fact that I was lucky to be classified I-A three times in two years. In the role of chairman. my horizons widened con- siderably. and dotting those horizons were the problems I encountered. There were for example. the tyechb ARA. l'm sure there are words somewhere that would adequately and fittingly describe the Loyola food service organization. but it is better perhaps that they be left un- written. And there was registration fthe day the earth stood stilljz finals La belated Merry Christmas to alll: and finally. basketball ia study in losing as taught by the coachj. But above all else. there were the close friendships and more enriching experiences that have made the whole thing worthwhile.

Terry Sullivan Sometime ago I was told that the problem with Lewis Towers is that it is composed of so many people with altogether different interests. lt occurred to me then. and still occurs to me upon occasion Clike nowj that if that were not the case we wouldn't need to be here together. Several thousand similar peo- ple with similar interests can have a great time together. but it's unlikely that they'll teach each other much of anything. Large groups of people with divergent interests make assumptions difficult - which seems to mean that you have to learn to measure individuals, and that. I suppose, is what student ac- tivities are about. it l Leon T. Saladi Working for Loyola University has been both a privilege and an opportunity for growth and joy. Growth in sharing the wide spectrum of views and insights from staff. faculty. and students. The joy in becoming involved in the lives of the community of students working for and sharing in their growth. To all who have been a part of this. I extend my gratitude. 5 Q I1O tix N vi X, 3 X . it sf? Y ' Fil? L39
