Except for the president of Delta Gamma Sorority and a few members from University Ministry, most campus organizations and departments were nowhere to be found. To teach Jesuit values of social justice and inclusion and not act on them is hypocritical. The president and his administration, the faculty and staff members are role models for students. To throw support behind a worthy cause such as AIDS prevention and assistance to its victims shows strength of character. Perhaps grading papers or too much partying the night before induced faculty and staff members to hit the snooze button a few times too many to drive to Armstrong Park in time for the walk.
Professors expect students to rise from slumber in time to attend class.
But perhaps this cause isn't a priority of Loyola faculty and staff whose mission is to make the Loyola student a person for others. If it is as important to faculty and staff members as they are to SGA and The Maroon , which had a strong showing, it was not evident on Sept. 24. World AIDS Day is Dec. 1. Faculty and staff members still have a chance to show support for AIDS victims by donating money or by using that day to discuss the subject in class.
