This article announces that Loyola News associate editor and political science senior William O'Connor (featured in the photo) had been named the director of the Loyola University interview center.
"Daniel Walker, chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission and director of the Chicago study team of the President's Commission on Causes and Prevention of Violence" announced the appointment.
The interview center was established following the 1968 riots during the Democratic National Convention that led to the trials of the "Chicago 7."
"In discussing the purpose of the interview center, O'Connor explained that 'the Chicago study team is interested in obtaining statements and information regarding all matters relating to the demonstrations, disorders and violence which occurred in Chicago during the week of the Democratic National Convention.' He said that the statements themselves will not be made a part of the written report to the Commission, but rather will be used to construct a factual account.
To facilitate the work of interviewing students and faculty members temporary headquarters have been set up in the Lake Shore and Lewis Towers offices of the Loyola News. Other staff members include John Murphy, Ellen Rinaldo, Stephanie Jagucki and Dave McMahon.
Any persons with firsthand knowledge of Convention Week activities should contact one of the above interviewers as soon as possible, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in either office."

An article on the front page of the Loyola News discusses a rally in support of the Montgomery to Selma marches, which held on March 25 at the Law School auditorium at Loyola's Lewis Towers campus. Attendees included priests, nuns, and students from Loyola, Mundelein, and Xavier College. A number of speakers discussed the marches that had just occurred and the lessons that Chicagoans ought to take from them. Father James F. Maguire, Loyola President, spoke first about how the Selma march fit with other news stories in the headlines, and was encouraged to see students attend and give their support to the march. Dr. Mundi of the Loyola Sociology department discussed how "there are many people who do not understand the 'adventure' being embarked upon by the American people. This 'adventure' is the belief in the radical equality of all men. He said that Selma was an 'extremely difficult lesson to be learned.'"
First-hand witness Father Weber spoke of the terror marchers experienced, and said "after Selma, comfortable existence is no longer comfortable."
Sister Mary Peter, B.V.M. "a veteran of Civil Rights struggles," discussed the Catholic Interracial Council's efforts to support demonstrators and educate their parishes. Father Owen McAteer of St. Agatha's parish in Chicago was also an eyewitness and saw a need for demonstrations in Illinois just as much as Alabama.

Marching in twenty -degree cold, singing 'the Rights shall go through' to the tune [of] 'We Shall Overcome' the ma[rch]ers carried placards re[?]ing among other things, 'Neu[tral] Grey Editorials Lead to Neu[tral] Grey Individuals'". The protests remained peaceful, and was led by representatives of the Rights Charter Committee and the Loyola News.
