Shortly afterwards, Father Healy,
while watching the construction

was discharged by the contractor

aground below Alexandria, thus
causing delay on the operation.

perhaps, the most impressive pile
on the Georgetown campus, was
put up by the very blood and
nerve Of Patrick Healy, q loan Of
500. 900 on the college lands, and
other loans with INTEREST," total
ling $50. 900. While there were q
few financial contributions from
alumni and friends Of the institu-
ton, they were practically negli-
gible. The structure was begun be-
fore the funds were fully secured,
pushed TO completion while
the money seemed impossible to
obtain. and stands today as q
monument to Healy's logged de-
termination to shoot for the skies
in making Georgetown great.
Also. the history Of its bringing
to birth Is an epitome Of the

Healy Building Is there because q

working, for the most part, alone,
determined that it would stand
and endure.

note that the Healy Building
could have been paid for by q gift
of o little more than two-thirds
the amount received from dona-
tons In the single year 1872-1s73
by California State University.

The money was somehow OBJ

the center and south towers con-
stituted the only heavy stone
work still to be done. Then nature
conspired with Father Mullaly's

ice the river route to the quar-
r1es.
But the most critical moment
Of all was yet to come. Under date
Of April 9. 1879, Father Mullaly
reports the situation:
We are making progress on
the building slowly. The
center tower is beginning to
raise its head above the roof.

District Supreme Court declared
the assessment Illegal, and tbs
money was refunded to George

The Matter of Cost

Obviously there Is no way to
figure complete costs on any such
excursion, and they would be
meaningless If available. For
much Of the expenses would run
on even if Mr.. Kennedy never
left Washington.
On outright political tours the
party pays out-of-pocket costs,
and in a jet age these can be
enormous.
In mid October, 1862, Mr.. Ken
nedy was on a political tour that
was cut short by the Cuban crisis.
Instead of going on to the West
Coast, he turned back at Chicago.
Even this comparatively short
trip cost the Democrats $40, 026.72
for the jet and $467.67 for the
helicopter.
Nearly every President has
Travelled as high and as fast as
the technology of his times per-
mitted, and all have been criti-
cized for doing it.
Normally the party out Of power
looks with horror at the goings
on in the White House-and when
it wins the presidency it RECEIVERS

-Four years ago Senator
Douglas, Democrat Of Illinois,
complained bitterly to the Senate
about the hired help and new
gadgetS employed by Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the first President to
use jets and helicopters.
Up rose Senator Dirksen, Re-
publican Of Illinois, and great was
his Scorn.
Here IN the greatest country

Nobody knows for certain how
many people are involved In max
ing sure President Kennedy moves
safely and swiftly ON his flying,
out-of-town trips.
Nobody can even guess how
much they cost. Hundreds, may
be thousands. Of individuals have
some part, mostly minor, In the
complex preparations.
If the trip Is long enough,
thousands, maybe hundreds Of
thousands, of dollars can be
charged to the trip If all tasks,
and the salaries Of those who
performed them, are included.
But how can you calculate the
total cost of sending not one, but
two, mammoth Jets on each trip?
Or of seven plush, air-condi-
toned, twin jet helicopters?
Or of the assorted other planes.
such as the cargo ship that car
ries the Presidents automobile?

also had a backup plane tagging

helicopters, often brought in from
great distances.

The Turning Point

This, apparently. was the turn
ing-point in the chequered his
tory Of the Healy Building In
course of construction. Two deci-
sive decisions were made. Healy
sent word to Mullaly to raise the
tower high and push on the rest
Of the work, with some signifi-
cant notifications Of the original
plan. Mullaly persuaded the Pro-
vincial and the latter's consultors
to let him follow Healy's instruc-
tons. Further loans were secured.
Healy returned on September 2,
1879. and on the following No
vember 18th the following notice
was read to the Jesuit faculty:
As the new College, under
the blessing Of God, has been
completed exteriorly.
The interior of the building was
by no means fully completed, and
indeed could not be called so until
the end Of the 1905. But the
greater part Of the structure could
be used. Georgetown had secured
her first building of truly univer-
sity dimensions.

It Is impossible even to list
the troubles q President creates.
During President Kennedy's
Western tour two national park
lodges were either kept open or
were reopened Just for him, even
though he spent but one night
In each.
At Hanford, Wash, prepara-
tons were both fantastic and
frantic.
As the official handout put It:
The work Is going ahead
at . feverish pitch"
And these feverish deeds were
done to provide space for the
crowd: Old buildings were torn
down, 125 acres Of land were
leveled, 5000 feet of water mains
were put down in an effort to
control the dust ian unsuccessful
effort. as it turned OUT, the
whole area was fenced, and q spe-
cial landing pad, 200 feet by 100
feet, was paved for the PreSi-
Dental helicopter.

HOW TO BUILD A BUILDING sggM
Back Of Georgetown's Famous Towers
HOW TO BUILD A BUILDING

Georgetown University Is
celebrating its 175th anniTer-
sary and . part Of the celebra-
tiOn Is the publication Of
"GeOrgetOWn University: The
Middle Years (1s4o-1s00l by
Joseph I. Durkin, 81, by the
Georgetown University Press.
The story Of the vision and the
struggle which went into the
construction Of lowered HeaIy
Hall, Ge0rget0wn's best-knOwn
building, Is related In this ex-
eerpt from the book.
If Georgetown was to be uni
verSity, President Patrick j.
Healy realized. her older stu
dents must be treated like univer-
sity men. They could not be herd
ed together in dormitories, with
projects breathing down their
necks to enforce disciplinary rules
better suited for preparatory
school boys. To university or pro-
fessional school students must be
conceded also plentiful opportu-
mites for private and tndepend-
ent study. AL this required, on
the material side, that such stu
dents should have each his own
comfortable living quarters. When
Father Healy assumed the presi-
dency, Georgetown possessed no
building capable of fulfilling this
demand.
Furthermore, in order really to
become q university, Georgetown
needed clasSooms, science labora-
tories, q library, and an audito-
rium-all Of large proportions.
'Somber GrondeuF
BY September, 1880, Father
Healy had substantially complet-
ed a five-story stone-and-brick
structure Of Flemish Renaissance
style, 312 feet long and 95 feet
wide. With its soaring central
tower, its two lofty and massive
wings, and its rugged gray castel-
lated front, 1t was marked by q
somber grandeur.
Georgetown could now boast Of
the physical accommodations and
facilities appropriate to Q real uni
verSity.

Aid to the Press

Government propagandistS are
In their glory, for this is the age
of the overStuffed press kit. At
every convention or news confer
ence nowadays, reporters are
likely to be handed a neat but
bulky package Of literature and
pictures.
Some Of this information is es-
sential, some is occasionally use
full, and much Of it is nonsense.
The difficulty. of course, Is that
one reporters nonsense is an
others mama, so it all goes in.
The press kit for the Presidents
Western trip weighed a pound and
a quarter, about par for the
publicity course.
Interior Department officials
estimate the press kits cost
around $4,000 in all. Another
$1,000 was spent turning out Spe-
cial film for televiSion.

Money the Hard Woy


But Father Healy had to raise
money for his building the hard
way. In October, 1877, he Travelled
to Philadelphia In an attempt to
secure from bankers there Q loan
for the whole cost. He was unsuc-
cessful. due TO the fact. states the
Georgetown House Diary. that
"the Philadelphians are so mar
row-minded that they will not loan
money beyond the limits Of the
city" Some prominent alumni
were appealed to. with meager
or no results. Finally, In January,
1878, about three months after
beginning the excavation for the
building, Father Healy secured
his 100000 loan from the bank
ing house of Alexander Brown
q Sons, in Baltimore.

PARIS Mar. 6 (AP) The
government held back its big
stick in the French coal strike
today but told 100000 striking
miners they must 80 back to
work before their demands can
be discussed. The miners
showed no signs Of ending
their walkout.
The work before talks state
ment came from Premier
Georges Pompidou. He told two
political delegations that the
governments decision to draft
the miners was not @ challenge
TO their right 20 strike.
He said the order is designed
TO avoid q shutdown Of French
industry through q depletion
of the'nation's coal supply.
Meeting with delegations
from the Gaullist Union for

Mr.. Pompidou said he will

clear in q nationwide radio

Now In its sixth day, the
strike is labor's first major
