i d the esuit ima e 1 WHEN YOU THOUGHT of the Jesuits, you probably thought of the priest celebrating the Sunday night 10:00 p.m. mass or the professor behind the lectern at the head of the class. Or perhaps you pigeonholed them into the role of university administration. While it was true that Jesuits fulfilled each of these roles, they were individuals with diverse personalities and interests, as well. For instance, John Privett, S.J., was Director of the TV Facility, but he also had the best tan on campus, all year round. Just mention racquetball and he would pop up with, l'm quite good - do you play? The racquetball courts were often reserved days in advance by students eager to test Fr. Privett's expertise. lf Fr. Privett had the best tan, Bob Senkewicz, S.J., was running a close second. A good looking, athletic type, Fr. Senkewicz enjoyed walking, running or sunning to maintain his tan, when he was not working in Campus Ministry or leading a retreat. For some, their work was merely an extension of their hobbies. Fred Tollini, S.J., Chair of the Theatre Arts Department, had always been interested in acting. Fortunately for him he was able to make it his vocation as well as his avocation. Fr. Tollini played the major role of Agamemnon in the Santa Clara production of Iphigenia at Aulis. lt was yet another credit to his long list of previous accomplishments. . Another Jesuit who combined work and play was Tom Shanks, S.J. Fr. Shanks, just as good looking as Bob Senkewicz and much endeared to The Redwood staff, as well as teaching television and taught television and communication arts , and was deeply involved in the production of literary communications. He served as adviser for both The Redwood and The i Santa Clara. Rob Stankus, editor of The I Santa Clara, expressed the feelings of lj those who worked with Tom, Tom is very knowledgeable and supportive. He offers i guidance without being overbearing. Jim Erps, S.J., had a rather unique pastime, one which he lived. Fr. Erps, whol worked in Student Services, was an activei participant, as well as a resident in l Graham 300, the Community Dorm. Not only did he help to coordinate some of the 2 dorm's social functions, he attended and photographed them all. From car washes, 5 dances, and movies to liturgies and 3 committee meetings, his presence was i l ' t d. a ways apprecia e qcontinuedy FREDERICK TOLLINI, S.J., CHAIR of the Theatre Arts Department, stars as Agamemnon in the SCU production of Iphigenia at Aulis.
