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.

Religion Enriches Loyola In the horseshoe on Loyola ' s front yard stands the graceful ivory-white statue of the Sacred Heart, its arms outstretched in an all-embracing ges- ture. It has stood thus for decades. For 51 years the priests of the Society of Jesus have ingrained His teachings to their charges under the patronage of St. Ignatius of Loyola. On the seal of the university there is the image of the house of Loyola, the Fleur-de-lis of French Nev Or- leans, and Louisiana ' s mother pelican feeding her young. For God and Country reads the motto on the seal. It sums up the goal towar ds which her faculty seeks to guide those under them. God and country: love the former and love for the latter will follow. Creation is not divided into secular and religious, and a complete edu- cation must show the thread of God ' s plan which runs through His uni- verse. Knowledge of God is not confined to the classroom. He is sought and discovered in casual conversation, so- dalities, and daily Mass at Holy Name church. A mature faith is the goal of a Catholic university. P f '
