The statue of Ignatius Loyola is to be unveiled Thursday during the window followed by an open house hosted by the Jesuits in Thomas Hall, the Jesuit dormitory. The expanded celebration is receiving positive feedback among students who are involved, although some others on campus show little interest. Anna Roth, communications senior, said the weeklong celebration will benefit students. I can't even remember what they did last year. Haley Williamson, music education junior, said the new event will increase student understanding.
Some students remain apathetic about the whole thing.
Matt Waldron, general studies sophomore, doesn't think he will attend any of the events. I heard about the dedication of the statue, but I probably won't go to any of it. Chris Cameron, director of Student Activities and the Danna Center, hopes that Loup Garou will add to the Loyola Week activities. New Orleans-style food and alternative beverages will also be on sale at the concert. I'm thrilled and excited that Loup Garou is in Loyola Week this year.
