This picture accompanied an article by Pat Murphy discussing the Loyola Jewish Students Organization becoming recognized by the Loyola Student Government Organization. According to the new organization's chairman, Dave Magence, the goal ws "to foster Jewish unity" and "provide both intellectual and social stimulation for the group," as well as to be a resource for mutual aid in times of need. Their first event was on Feb. 9, clled a "Bet Kaffee," a type of coffee house, and they planned an upcoming celebration of Purim. A photo shows members and attendees at the Bet Kaffee. The article also discusses the possibility of Judaic Studies courses. This was likely the first official non-Catholic religious student group at Loyola, and represented a new ecumenical approach by Campus Ministry.
