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!

Building Tomorrow ' s M. Shea ABOVE: The new law school building under construction. TOP RIGHT: The completed second phase of the Music Communica- tions complex.

The ac- quisition of the former Dominican College Campus, now known as the Loyola Broadway Campus, in addition to the Communications Music Complex and the Parking Garage and Recreation Center are new elements of Loyola Universi- ty. They will aid Loyola in doing what it does well: educating the total person. In December of 1984, Loyola purchased the majority of the for- mer Dominican campus. It in- creased Loyola ' s acreage from 19 to 23.2 acres. After extensive ren- ovation, the Law School and Law Library moved to this location in January of 1986. In April, the Gil- lis W. Long Poverty Law Center was formally dedicated by Wil- liam Webster, FBI director. The Communications Music Complex, including the Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, was dedicated in March of 1985. This $14 million four-story structure includes classrooms, administra- tive and faculty offices, and spe- cialized facilities for communica- tions an music students. Still under construction is the Parking Garage and Recreation Center. This building will allevi- ate commuter parking problems while at the same time provide larger and more functional sports facilities. The six-story, $10.5 mil- lion edifice will contain a swim- ming pool, sauna, running track, racquet ball courts, and meeting rooms. It will also have room for 725 cars. All three of these new editions to Loyola ' s campus will allow the Jesuits to better educate the total person. Expanding to give the present Loyola students a better education through improved fa- cilities will ensure future 14
