              New President
Gets Acquainted
By Claudia M. Napp
The Mirror Editorial Staff had an
impromptu visit from Rev. Aloysisus
P. Kelley our new university Presi-dent.
Fr. Kelly wishes to spend this
semester becoming better acquaint-ed
with the campus community.
"During the summer I did alot of
reading (minutes from Board of
Trustee Meetings) about the univer
sity. But as you know until the faculty
and students arrive the place is truly
not a university . . I will now spend
time listening."
President Kelly feels that any long
range plans for this institute are,
"very much in the preliminary
stages." In response to a question
posed about a 'rumored' twin (an
academic/administrative building) to
Canisius Hall, he replied by compar-ing
any major additions to the univer-sity
as part of a "large chess game."
"Such changes are like pieces on a
chess board. In order to make one
substantial Imove you must make
various other moves to have it all
work. Any change involves two pro-blems,
money and space. These
must always be solved prior to any
concrete developments."
The long range ideas that we dis-cussed
are a new faculty building, an
additional academic hall, and the
Jesuits being moved out of Bellar-mine
Hall. All of these projects will
entail alot of time and energy to
manuver.
As far as the immediate future is
concerned, Fr. Kelly hopes to teach
courses in the Classics next year.
This will literally double that depart-ment's
faculty, since it is headed and
staffed by Dr. Rosavich. While at
Georgetown University in Washing-ton
D.C., Rev. Kelley taught both
Latin and Greek.
In his address to the Class of '83
during orientation, Fr. Kelly remark-ed
that he too is a freshman here. He
stressed that it takes time to adjust
to new surroundings and that they
must be patient with themselves.
Both the newly arrived students
and Rev. Kelley look forward to be-coming
an integral part of the univer-sity
community. Fr. Kelly has had a
head start though, for he is already a
member of the Jesuit community.
"The Class of '83", he told us, "may
not realize it yet, but they are enter-ing
a very special fraternity. There
are 28 other Jesuit institutions in the
nation and being a member of one
creates a bond between all of us."

Commuters Relocate;
Lounge Now In Campus Center
> By Gigi Byron
The commuter club, the organiza-tion
designed to promote better rela-tions,
between commuters and resi-dent
students, has undergone two
big changes this year. Both their of-fice
and the commuter lounge have
been moved to the Campus Center.
Their office is now in the old
Chamber Orchestra room and the
commuter lounge is right outside the
back door of the Stag-Her Inn. The
wall between rooms G41 and G42
was torn down so the new room is of
comparable size to the old commuter
lounge on Loyola's ground floor.
Caroline Joy Hamilla, president of
the commuter club, is happy about
the moves. "I'd rather be there (in
the Campus Center). Loyola was a
poor location. The office is smaller,
but it's really more convenient."
The move was not without its prob
lems, though. The commuter club
was not notified of the change and
according to Ms. Hamilla, "we found
we were being moved when we
came in one day and our office was
gone."
This was compounded by the fact
that they were promised their new of-fice
on August 18th, and it was not
readyat the start of the school year.
"We finally had to go into the Cham-ber
Orchestra room and move the
piano out and our stuff in. Then we
were told the keys weren't ready, so
we had to move some of the stuff
back out," Ms. Hamilla explained.
All things taken into account, the
club prefers the changes. "We really
think that the move will help increase
membership." Club membership
now is approximately 25, out of a
possible 700 commuters.
In addition to the room changes,
Ms. Hamilla sees more events and
better planning as two elements that
will help to boost the membership
figure.
The club already has three events
slated for the fall with more in the
planning stages. They hope to have a
big party in the Faculty Dining Room,
a carwash, and help the Alumni Rela-tions
Department with several of
their activities.
The commuters' first meeting wili
be held this coming Tuesday, both 4a-and
4b in the new commuter lounge.
Ms. Hamilla stated, "We hold two
separate meetings since everyone
has either 4a or 4b free. They can
bring their lunch or buy it in the Stag-
Her and eat it during the meeting."

The University Bookstore has
undergone some changes over the
summer break for the student conve-nience.
Among the new features are
longer store hours, additional
employees on duty, an increase in
both the paperback and greeting
card selections, plus a dry cleaning
service. In our absence the interior
was refurbished. The employees of
the store are responsible for the
redecorating that was done.
Official hours for the fall semester
are Mon-Thurs. 9-7, Fri. 9-5 and Sat.
10-4. These are the same as last
year except for the addition of Satur-day
hours. Mr. John Wakefield, Book-store
Manager, explained; "We will
now be open on Saturdays, because
we found several notes in our sug-gestion
box requesting that we do
so." The Bookstore hours will be
altered for the month of September.
From September 7r9 they are Thurs.
8-10, m. 8-5, Sat. 9-5. Beginning
September 10 till the end Of the
month the hours will b£: ^Mon-Thurs
9-8, Fri. 9-5 and Sat 10-3.
During the book purchasing rush
there will be six cashiers and 1-2 run-ners
working. This is an increase
over last semester. Mr. Wakefield
feels that additional personnel will
cause a decrease in the long book
lines.
As a result of realizing last semes-ter
the improvement in efficiency of
having two cashiers on duty during
lunches, this practice will be con-tinued.
The Bookstore has also hired
a new employee to work on thefloor
during the day. This will leave the
cashiers free to remain at their
registers.
Due to a couple of Boos from the
Mirror, the store is featuring new
paperbacks and greeting cards. "I
personally removed the old paper-backs
from the shelves and ordered
new ones," stated Mr. Wakefield.
"Greeting cards were a big seller
last semester so we will offer a larger
variety this year."
In cooperation with the Towne
Cleaners of Fairfield, a dry cleaning
service will be run out of the store.
The grand opening is scheduled for
September 17 and will feature a spe-cial
10% discount. Their hours will
be from 9-6 Mon-Thurs.; 9-5 on Fri.
An alternative to the university
Bookstore is SOFINC. This is a stu-dent
run organization that operates
out of Northwest Ground. SOFINC
deals in used books and school sup-plies.
