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. Members of ADG working under a falling sun of a December day prepare homecoming decorations to welcome back alumni

Guiding he fate of the university ' s athletic program is its Athletic Director Bill Gardiner. Gardiner is also head coach for the basketball team ATHLETICS This year was the big year for the Wolfpack as it would be Coach Bill Gardiner ' s fifth year at the head of the Pack. He would have the first team he recruited in its senior year. Of the eight original players recruited before the start of the 1960-61 school year, five still remain with the team. They are guards Ed Kennedy and Larry Hoyt, center Ken Ryan and forwards Marty Niehaus and Gene Turni. Missing from the eight are Bob Luegers, Wayne Pietri and Art Rahn. This season was the first time since 1957 that the Pack had taken part in the annual Sugar Bowl Basketball Tourna- ment that is held in the Loyola fieldhouse. This was truly the year for the Pack. Intramurals A major part of Loyola life is centered around its intramural program. Under the guidance of Lou Rags Scheuermann the program is one of the finest in this part of the country. It takes in eight sports from non- collision events such as swimming and bowling to the heavy contact sports of wrestling and boxing. An Intramural program for the coeds is none the less spectacular. It encompasses seven sports and is under the direction of Miss Eileen Brousseau. Climaxing the intramural program each year is the Intramural banquet where the winners of each sport are honored.
