It is French and Spanish, old and new, dirty and fascinating, loud and raunchy, Cajun and Cre- ole, tourists and residents. It is the French Quarter and it is the heart of the city. It is po-boys and beignets, red beans and rice, and pecan pra- lines. It is gay and straight, bawdy and historical. It is the birthplace of jazz and Hurricanes. It is the home of the French Market, the Cabildo, the St. Louis Cathedral, Pirates Alley and Galatoire ' s. It is where artists display their creations, and where lovers watch the river cut its crescent into the landscape. It is music floating in the air on a steamy summer afternoon, hawkers pitching, tourists staring. It is Mardi Gras and floats, pa- rades and costumes, craziness and love, happiness and sadness. It is the French Quarter and, thank God, it is ours. C. T. Vincent :aFE DU kiONDH LEFT: The steamboat Natchez ready 10 embark down the Mississippi. BELOW: Throw me something, mister!

Educating The Total Person 5QP 1 M. Shea C. Forti Ai Loyola, the college experience is more than just attending classes, more than learning the facts and fig- ures within a chosen major. Through the Jesuits and lay people. Loyola strives to educate the total person in intellectual, physical, emotional, so- cial, vocational and spiritual ways, in achieving this goal, three main ap- proaches are taken: the common cur- riculum, campus programming and programs to increase community awareness. The common curriculum is the core that unites all Loyola graduates. Here is the foundation to the Jesuit liberal arts tradition and here can be found 39 hours which all students must complete. Courses in religion, philos- ophy, history, mathematics, English, science, humanities arts and beha- vioral social sciences add up to a well-rounded, full and thought-filled education. Besides classes, campus program- ming unites the Loyola student with local and national events. It includes a wide range of on campus guest speak- ers, concerts, plays and exhibits. Off campus cultural events offer the stu- dent a chance to visit museums and art galleries, and participate in school sponsored tours and trips. Being ex- posed to various issues and cultural experiences educates the total person as much as book learning. Community awareness allows the Loyola student to participate in ex- periences beyond the university set- ting. Fund-raisers, food collections, blood drives and other available vol- unteer services enable students to have a direct and a positive impact on the community. Developing a caring attitude towards the people in one ' s community is an important aspect in educating the total person. Educating the total person culmi- nates in an attitude, a way of life, that sets the Loyola graduate apart from others. It is a concern for people and for the world, and it involves action. M.
