Tranquility marks a Loyola summer

The tenor of a Loyola summer is one of tranquility . The lawns grew green under the pelting rain, westerlies rustled the elms and the sun put in the odd cameo appearance .

But underlying the calm was the activity of planning for the next year and concluding business of the last.

Bishop Emmett Carter, founder of St. Joseph's Teacher's College, managed to do both when he gave the homily on Convocation day June 6.

• ''The worst is not the surest," he told the

English-speaking Catholics who have little to be happy about these days.

The convocation itself was an elegant affair under the brilliant sun, which many said was the result of the intercession of Father Patrick Malone, whose influence is such that on convocation day, the sun always shines on Loyola.

Even as convocation was underway, Charles McPherson, of Physical Plant, had dispatched masons to restore the Chapel and the Central Building which has been in need of mending for some time .

The $60,000 restoration project sent scaffolding up the sides of the buildings and everyone heard the tinking and the clinking of hammers and the whirring of manual pulleys as buckets of mortar ascended to the upper storeys.

Preliminary work has been done on a $150,000 repair job at Loyola on under­ground heating pipes running to and from several campus buildings.

Already a starting hole has been exca­vated hard by the boiler room. But because construction work has stopped throughout Quebec during much of the Olympics, the digging will not resume till early August.

Bill Condie, Loyola superintendant, said the job involves digging trenches across the

• parking lots and lawns of the campus to repair the heating pipes which run below.

One trench , the first to be started, will run across the parking lot at the back of the

Another trench ·will run from the rear of the F.C. Smith Auditorium to the Georges P . Vanier Library and the Campus Centre .

Charles McPherson, of Loyola Physical Plant, said that there were problems in the past with the heating pipes between buildings .

"If anything goes wrong during the winter, they must be repaired quickly," he said. ''Trouble is, those quick and dirty jobs never work and you are forced to do the job again in the summer.'

One is saddened to report the loss of six trees on campus, which succumbed to Dutch elm disease .

"We lose about :;ix every year, " said Mr. Condie. ''This year we lost five on the north campus and one on the south campus."

The trees at the gates do not look in good health, but apart from the physical plant's difficulty in knowing which belong to the City of Montreal , there is a reluctance to cut them down until all hope is exhausted . But Mr. Condie is not optimistic . "There's little question that we shall lose all the elms in time. There's really not much hope ."

In happier news, Dr. R.P . (Paddy) Duder, assistant to the Vice-Rector and

Principal of Loyola, was granted an honorary degree by his alma mater Memorial University, St. John's New­foundland.

This represents yet another achievement in a long distinguished and often exciting career, which began in Dr. Duder's youth

with a Rhodes Scholarship. Dr. Duder served as a diplomat-soldier

.: during yVorld War II, helping to forge the corridor to West Berlin at the time of the

Rapido Takes Extra Baggage

See page 2

Loyola Chaplain Father Bob Gaudet got a free ride he didn't want on the Rapido running from Montreal to Toronto.

He was seeing_ friends off at Dorval station and while helping them with luggage aboard realised the train was underway.

After he explained the situation to the conductor, Toronto gave permission by radio to make and unscheduled stop in Brockville to let him off.

Said a man on the Brockville platform : "Gee you sure must be important! The Rapido never stopped in Brockville before! "

Surveyor checks Metro trace.

Claude Turcot , a Montreal Urban Community Transportation Commission surveyor, was on the Loyola Campus making note of all the buildings on a small clipboard chart.

His visit raises interesting possibilities -if somewhat speculative - about chances of a Metro station near Loyola .

Mr. Turcot said he was surveying along a "trace" for a Metro line running from "around Queen Mary and Decarie to somewhere near Loyola ."

From page 1 Air-Lift. He was later a director of staff at the National Defence College and Canadian representative on the International Super­visory Control Commission, Indochina .

Dr. Duder also has the odd distinction of being of the few to become a diplomat with the Department of External Affairs only months after becoming a Canadian citizen. The distinction results from the fact that he became a Canadian diplomat only months after Newfoundland joined confederation in 1949 causing his automatic change in citizenship .

Dr. Duder is also much involved with the restoration of the colors of the Irish Canadian Rangers, a regiment raised by Loyola men and broken up into drafts during World War I. The laying up ceremony will take place Nov. 7, the Sunday before Remebrance Day.

The Irish Canadian Rangers colors were in the Chapel for many years, but dis­integrated before cleaning four years ago.

He said the trace indicated a possible Metro extension from a line which while not built, is on the cards.

The line from Bonaventure station is to be extended to Charlevoix and St. Jacques, he said, then up Decarie to Cartierville.

The trace Mr. Turcot was surveying runs from the station planned near Queen Mary and Decarie, to a termination point near Loyola .

The purpose of his survey, he said, was to examine possible problems "in terms of population and construction ."

New colors have been commissioned and efforts are being made to secure troups from a Quebec military unit as an honor guard for the laying up ceremony .

Father Gaudet recently returned from a tour through Africa , when he dropped in on the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in Nairobi, celebrating Mass atop Mount Kilmanjaro and examin­ed the changing role of the Church in Africa .

The people in Program Development, at Student Services, had a busy summer with their "Light and Easy" outdoor film series in the Grove.

About 100 people came to see each of the five free films . On two occasions the films were forced to move into the administra­tion building because of the rain.

Like everyone else in Montreal these days, Loyola has been affected by the Olympics .

staying at Hingston Hall and the Athletics Complex has become a training centre for some Olympic events.

And like most business in Montreal , Loyola's cafeteria run by Beaver Foods, hasn't fo und the presence of Olympic officials results in more trade.

In fact, even before Olympics began, the cafeteria was forced to shutdown because of the slow trade .

"We only take in $50 at noon these days," said Phil Strauss, acting cafeteria manager. "And that's not enough to pay the chef alone."

He doesn't plan to re-open the cafeteria until Aug. 23, but said there was a chance it would open earlier if 55 tennis players expected next month can guarantee the consumption of meals .

With the cafeteria down, the builders off for the Olympics, that air of tranquility an. peace at Loyola has ascended to the most prominent feature of campus life.

LOYOLA OF MONTREAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION INC .

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING At a recent Meeting of the Board of

Directors of the Loyola of M ont real Alumni Association Inc. (the "Corpora­tion") certain modifications were made to the General By-Laws of the Corporation, the text of which will be available for inspection by Members at the forthcoming Special General Meeting scheduled for August 26th , 1976 . Should any member wish to receive a copy of the text by mail he may request this of the Executive Secretary of the Association, Christy McCormick .

The principal modification to the Gener­al By-Laws involves .a change in the structure of the Board of Directors . The Directors have, subject to approval of the Members, enacted a new By-Law Section 13, the text of which reads as- follows :

"The Board of Directors shall consist of nineteen (19) Directors .

a) From the Members of the Corpor­ation : The President , the immediate past­President, the Secretary, the Treasurer and two (2) other persons to be elected as Directors but who will not, except to fill casual vacancies, serve as Officers .

b) From the Members of the Corpora­tion who are past Presidents of The Corporation, nine (9) Members who shall represent as nearly as possible an accurate profile of the membership at large ; and

c) Four (4) persons chosen from the faculty and staff of Concordia University (Loyola Campus) and or from the Loyola Jesuit Community, one (1) of whom shall be known as the Executive Secretary. Of these four (4) Directors only the Executive Secretary shall have the right to vote ."

All other changes to the General By-Laws have been made to assure consistency with the new form of Section 13 or matters incidental thereto such as the adoption of a two-year term rather than one-year for the period during which a person shall serve as a Director or Officer of the Corporation . The procedure for elections has been modified to coincide with the change in the fiscal year end of the Corporation adopted last year by the Directors and approved by the Members at the Combined Annual and Special General Meeting.
