Lionspride,

I question your ability to understand a student-athlete's drive...

Or maybe your comments are meant to stir up the pot a bit.

Why on earth would a red-shirt transfer?? So he could sit out ANOTHER year and wait to see the floor? Yeah, that makes sense. Unless of course he goes to a Div II... which I doubt is an avenue he wants to explore.

Quit trying to stir it up. And make it seem like your opinion carries more weight than it should.

And about the $$ commitment where is your $$ check?? In the mail?

Guest,

We will see about the red-shirt. Regarding my $$$$, get a clue...I was the one that posted the LionsFund update from Husak. I received the e-mail as I donate to the fund. Is your check in the mail? If not, get it in if you have any money to spare. Even $1 will help the fund. I'm serious about that. Thanks.

Greetings. I'm trying to find the full statement of "The Loyola Man," and I came across the post that mentions it (and compares it unfavorably with the current LMU statement). I would be grateful if you could either share "The Loyola Man" statement with me, or tell me where I can find it. I actually read it once a while back, but now I can't locate it. I'm sure it was in a Loyola University bulletin, but for which years? Thanks !

The current Student Code is ridiculous, sexist, and frankly incomprehensible...best that can be said about it - is that its embarrassing (see LMU website look for "the Lion") Heres the old Code "Loyola Man":

THE LOYOLA MAN

The complete man is an able man, clear in thought, rich in vision, vigorous in act; he is a man learned in the arts and sciences, a student of history with a sharp, sound view of his own times, a right interpretation of the past, a true concept of the future; his is a man who lives fully and vividly, gladly accepting the challenge of life, exulting in its adventure; Finally and most importantly –he is a good man, warm of heart, gentle seeking the right, charitable in thought as well in deed – in a word, a Christian Gentleman.

Loyola develops the ‘Complete Man’ by training his faculties – his mind, his imagination, his will: by instructing him in right knowledge, by making him at home in the arts and sciences; by preparing him for service to his country and his fellow-man; teaching him his rights and duties as a member of society; and, by inspiring him to right living; making him aware of the obligations of his immortality, setting before him the teachings, the example, and the divine beneficence of Christ.

Loyola approaches this difficult task of developing the ‘Complete man’ with four centuries of experience of the Jesuit education behind it. Loyola is modern but no experimental, scientific but not mechanistic; cultural but not visionary; youthful but not erratic; realistic but not pagan.

Loyola aims to train a man for success and for possible greatness; but whatever a man’s worldly achievement, Loyola’s training insists that his design of living include the fulfillment of his obligation toward God and his own soul, prepares him thus to be, in the best sense, a Complete Man, a Citizen of Two Worlds.

Whoops! Never mind.

Waterboy,

Thanks very much for providing "The Loyola Man" material. Much obliged. With any luck (and much work), an updated (but not insipid) version of this will once again appear in the University's catalog.
