...others, the new freedom is a problem. Says Fred Hess of St. Ignatius Loyola in Hicksville, N.Y.: "I think we need some hard and fast rules to go by." Even the progressive faithful feel that the church must maintain some kind of identity. Asks Mary Charlotte Chandler, a graduate student at U.C.L.A.: "What is the point of a church if it's always up to my own conscience...
Some thought it was near sacrilege. In a few short months during 1969 the interior of the 78-year-old St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Hicksville, Long Island, was radically transformed. Two side altars and their six statues, two more statues on the main altar, the devotional candles and the altar rail were all removed. Most dramatically, a new crucifix was hung behind the altar. Instead of a suffering Jesus in traditional style, worshipers now saw a modernist risen Christ, his arms raised in triumph...
...matter otherwise. "Jewett [L. Fred Jewett '57, Harvard-Radcliffe dean of admissions and financial aid] claimed that L.

But only two of the high schools covered by the officials--Montebello and Loyola, a Jesuit school--had predominantly Chicano populations. The compromise that ultimately emerged: one student recruiter would be funded by the admissions office in Los Angeles, and Garcia had to raise private contributions from individual Chicano undergrads to pay for the $300 plane fare...
Judging from their undergraduate days in the mid-sixties, the match seemed inevitable. Friends remember how Monette, then in a Catholic girls academy, idolized the Loyola College stud. The pair were considered very fast--Maureen Hanemann remembers being shocked when a number of friends found Spiro and Monette out on a levee, zipped up in a sleeping bag together. "At that time [1965] you just didn't do that," she recalls...
What people remember about Monette was that she was "one hell of a looker"; what they remember about Spiro are the pranks. While at Loyola, he sponsored an expensive formal, and tried to pass off an unknown nightclub singer as Aretha Franklin. The fraud was exposed, but when Hanemann saw Spiro after he transferred to Tulane, there were signs in Spiro's car promoting another Aretha dance. "Spiro, what are these signs?" asked Hanemann. "No, no," Pavlovich assured him, "this time she really is coming...
