Dorm Life Begins Old haunts were abandoned and new ones staked out this term, a year of transi- tion at Loyola. In September, 250 male out-of-town stu- dents moved from their old Victorian style dorms on Calhoun street to glittering new Biever hall, its six stories located next to the fieldhouse. Inside the dorm, which can house 404 students, life was basically the same: there were the homesick freshmen, the shouts of Who ' s got my shoe? and the alternating study and bull sessions. The scene was echoed over at the coeds ' dorms, where gossip was perhaps a little longer in telling and the clothes exchange circuit a little more hectic. By the time spring rolled around, though, students and cafeteria both were firmly housed in the modern two story Student Center. It became th e new home of all campus organizations. The Wolf and The Maroon, the bookstore, dean of students and dean of women and all other student service offices. Empty boxes piled high in front of dorm reflect moving woes 27

Activities Running Rampant Loyolans were in little danger of stagnating from inactivity. The Loyola Student Democratic Association campaigned to reduce the number of high school dropouts in the city and tutored many of the youngsters themselves. Tri Phi social sorority volunteered to repaint the coeds ' lounge white and added a touch — jaunty yellow and green curtains. The Chess club, formed in the spring of 1963, continued to wage battles, intramural and between other universities. Bike riding was rediscovered by faculty members and students alike. It was the 40th anniversary of The AAaroon and The Wolf, and the newspaper printed a special issue in the spring, fat with special features in addition to the usual news. In December, Homecoming highlighted the year. At Blue Key Talent Nite the alumni and an impressive segment of the city filled the fieldhouse to cheer for their favorites in the individual, group or skit competition. A new and lovely Homecoming Queen, med tech junior Vickie Curtis, was presented and Wolfpack cheers shook the fieldhouse as the team fought to victory over their perennial rival— the Spring Hill Badgers. Politics played its usual flamboyant role on the campus, with banners and signs advertis- ing the qualifications of candidates for Student Council. It didn ' t stop, however, with campus elections: Louisiana ' s gubernatorial candidates also pleaded their causes in the Loyola quad- rangle, and the Democratic and Republican clubs prepared for the Presidential elections.
