Title
The Loyolan: "Sink the Tink" demonstration at outdoor concert
Description
A double-page spread in the 1972 Loyolan yearbook displays two images of an outdoor concert where The Wayne F. Tinkle Retirement Corporation, a student group with the slogan "Sink the Tink," called for the resignation of Loyola vice president Mr. Tinkle. The caption reads:
"On Wednesday, October 6, 1971, a group of student leaders calling themselves "The Wayne F. Tinkle Retirement Corporation" called for the resignation of the Vice-President and Dean of Students. The announcement was made at an outdoor concert sponsored by the organization. Buttons printed with the slogan "Sink the Tink" were distributed.
The movement was seen as important if only for the fact that a Vice President of the University was personally asked to retire by students. But is also caused mixed feelings among the student body. Some of the issues raised were important, valid indictments of the state of student services at Loyola; others were contrived, specious issues which the Dean's office refuted adequately."
