Hit the Campus Ky. An old Catholic saw states that God loves a happy saint. In extra-curriculum the small university excels. Nowhere, the lonely freshman dis- covers, does one find the cold, uninterested attitude which may sometimes appear on a mammoth campus. Loyola, with over 80 organizations and four social fraternities and sororities, breaks camp every year for the Mardi Gras holidays. Loyola provides in every one of its 3154 students a potential chum. The freshman does not stay lonely long. With these assurances tucked away in the backs of their minds, Loyolans cut loose at as many kinds of social functions as the par- tygoing mind of collegiate man can devise. From traditional university functions like the term-opening Jambalaya fete to such con- coctions as the math party celebrating the 287th anniversary of Gottfried Leibnitz ' dis- covery of the derivative; from homecoming. Talent Nite, basketball games, hoe-downs, and backwards dances to consolation par- ties and Hoot-nannys students took good care of this slice of their lives. %. .,| M Jolly Green Giants: Maria Gamboa, Peter Van Auk. i 1 • .111 r Gossiping, joking, and passing the time supplements eating and drinking in Loyola ' s popular cafeteria.

Punch and small talk are the usual pleasant ingredients of socials often held in the Student Lounge. Here the chitchat is being exchanged at a reception occasioned by the Key and Seal ceremony. Loyola Campus Something made a comeback on the Loyola cam- pus in 1962: initiation. And with its revival came an upsurge of school spirit in a degree not seen for several years. Ending orientation week was the annual Jambala- ya with its inter-fraternity singing contest. Upsilon Beta Lambda stopped cold a three-year Beggars ' winning streak with their medley of songs describ- ing Loyola life. Sororities and fraternities held their parties to which they invited as many students as the walls would hold: the Sigma Alpha Kappa Boatride, Kap- pa Beta Gamma ' s Hoe-Down— in its initial appear- ance— Tri Sigma ' s Backwards Dance, Theta Phi Al- pha ' s Swamp Stomp, UBL ' s Shipwreck Dance, and Tri Phi ' s Soiree were among the leading socials on the agenda. And, of course, the spirit of The Maroon, Joe Lobo, guarded the newly revived spirit diligently as only he could. Ping-pong enthusiasts enjoy a lively game. Bill Murphy, Gwen San Marco, and friend.
