University Changes With World A university is responsible for the men and women of tomorrow and for the future of the world. What she pro- duces through her doors will lead nations into decadence or progress, and Loyola, in keeping with the many changes that this century has wrought, is not one to be left behind. As a result of the university ' s self-study program the theology requirements and curriculum were revised to become effective in the fall. In place of the 16 semester hours required (8 semesters, 2 hours each), the theology requirements will be 15 semester hours (5 semesters, 3 hours each). The language department was revamped with the in- stallation of the most modern language lab in the South. 60 booths brought Loyola students an opportunity for improvement and the Loyola faculty a change from the conventional classroom lectures. The dental school received a $3,060,043 grant from the U. S. Public Health Service as it entered its second half- century of service to the area and plans for construction of a new building in the downtown area began. The Inter-American Center was responsible for the Latin American students that came to Loyola ' s campus on an invitational-education plan and for the offices built in the basement of Danna center. A university is the first to honor tradition, but it must also be first to recognize the needs of the future. Charleen White uses modern equipment as an aid to a better educati.

College Means Work -. 3,72, In Loyola ' s six schools and colleges— arts and sciences, business administration, music, law, dentistry, pharmacy and the evening division— things were much the same. From class to lab to outside studying students went in their pursuit of learning. The musicians played, the dentists experimented, the accountants jiggled the work sheets, the lawyers prac- ticed on Moot Court, and the pharmacists mixed the formulas. With exams peeking in every six weeks students grabbed the books and made straight way for the li- brary, the quiet restfulness of home, or last minute cramming with fellow accomplices. No matter what the means of preparation, the end remained the same, and bleary eyed and knowledge prone Loyolans met the inevitable exams. The year drew on and those on the verge of gradua- tion somehow withdrew from the pinwheel of campus life and reflected on the role they would soon be lead- ing in the world. Convocation speeches became more important and knowledge more priceless as the year passed in activity. Dental student Guy Murphy puts many hours of work in for his project Proficiency at any task can only be accom plished by many hours of hard work. With practice the end result can be heard as a musical masterpiece IA
