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.

From Raining Out, To Stepping Out Fall Fest ' 85 promised to be a fun-filled day of food, music and fond memories. On this Friday afternoon in October, the booths were set up, the crawfish boiled, the oysters shucked, the refresh- ments readied and the musicians ' stage set. Unfortunately, Fall Fest was washed away when the weather refused to cooperate. The weather did cooperate a month later, however, for the 2nd annual Homecoming Week cele- bration. Activities included guest speaker, former Lt. Gov. Jimmy Fitzmorris, a showing of The Big Chill , a car decorating and tail- gate party and a car parade. A dance featuring the crowning of the king and queen climaxed Homecoming ' 85. M. Shea TOP: Oliver Bonke wins wrestling match with an oyster - aw shucks!
