CT he Council of Students Representatives, ever since the early days of its conception in 1943 when it lacked the proper organization and control, has always endeavoured to establish itself as a well-functioning student-government body on the campus. It wasn’t until 1948 however, when Gilbert Haldane became President, that the organization began to crystallize into its present form. Under his mature leadership and the spirited co-operation of the other society representatives, Loyola’s Student Council began to receive the admiration of both students and faculty alike. The year '49-'50 was another memorable one for the C.S.R. John Gutelius who was forced, through injury, to discontinue his athletic activities, devoted all his energy and initiative to the Presidency of the Council. Through his efforts the Arts society was initiated and Freshman Week was another great success. Following the proverbial axiom that a rolling stone gathers no moss, this year's executive has worked steadily towards consolidation within its own ranks and towards achieving external recogni- tion of the C.S.R., to keep pace with the rapid expansion of Loyola College in the field of education and collegiate athletics. As to the first objective, the most significant accomplishment was the establishment of the C.S.R. on a firm financial basis. With the very generous co-operation of Father Rector, a substantial amount of money was obtained from the student fees in order that the Council could be operated in a business-like manner. Membership fees and conference expenses for the two University federations to which Loyola belongs take a large part of the money and the balance is used in various forms of administration. The C.S.R. can also act as a buffer in the event that a recognized campus organization should suffer any monetary loss. With the coming of Autumn in 1950, Loyola ventured into competition in American football. To keep pace with this historic step in athletics, Loyola’s external relations were broadened at the same time by sending the first official delegation to the Annual Conference of the National Federation of Canadian University Students at Laval University in Quebec City. In the circle of the student leaders from every large University in Canada, Loyola’s representatives had the opportunity to ex- change views and opinions on the problems which concern university students today. By active participation in this Federation, Loyola benefits from the information and scholarships which are available to member colleges and universities. Following the chronological order of events during the course of the year, the C.S.R. was respon- sible for a successful Freshman Week. At a Smoker on Friday evening which saw a very good per- centage of the Freshmen in attendance, the highlights of the college activities were explained to the Freshmen. The annual L.C.A.A. ‘Pow-Wow’ was held as usual on the following Friday and the week's activities came to a pleasant end by a well-attended social in the Gymnasium. Frank Rams- perger acted as the Chairman of the week’s activities, and with the help of many other undergraduates all the events left little to be desired. Before the end of Freshman Week, the C.S.R. was confronted with the problem of preparing for the Annual Conference of the Canadian Federation of Catholic College Students which was to be held

Cougratulatious A: the beginning of the year this page was set aside, according to custom, as the one on which the editors would voice their congratulations to those who have, by their activities during the past school year, merited them. Since decisions are rarely easy things to make, much time was spent in attempting to decide who is worthy of congratulation; and the persons we have decided on, are ones whom we feel have in the past not received their due. It is true that praise ha s been given to various individuals, and we are forced to admit that, in the past, it has often been just that only a few be commended, because only a few have been worthy of commendation. But for the first time in several years we feel that the wind has shifted, so to speak, and that not merely a handful of men, but the great majority of the student body have earned the right to be re- cognized. Why is it that the whole student body has been judged worthy of mention? Because we feel that this year there has been a marked revival in spirit among the students on the campus. How has this revival of spirit been manifested around the school? Chiefly in the formation and continuation of the faculty societies. The trend toward faculty, and thus school, spirit was begun two years ago with the birth of the new Commerce Society. This society enjoyed amazing success from the beginning. Within the same year the foundations were laid for the now flourishing Arts Society. Last year there began to grow up a spirit of keen, but friendly, rivalry between these two faculties, and this year saw the climax of this feeling, in the form of the now-celebrated trial. The story of the trial itself can be found elsewhere; its significance here is that it serves as an illustration of our point. In recent years there has not been such a manifestation of popular interest and enthusiasm over a simple campus issue. Within a very short time, everyone was lined up on either one side or the other, and in the thick of the battle. The outcome of the trial in itself is unimportant. The event derives its importance from the outburst of activity that it occasioned. Word has been received lately that the Science faculty has laid the plans for the foundation of a faculty society, and next year should see it in full operation. Students of Loyola, we are both pleased and proud of the spirit you have shown; and we again congratulate you with the sincere wish that as Loyola grows, so may you, her students, grow, in affection, pride and loyalty. An interesting fact was brought to light recently regarding Canada’s diplomatic representation abroad and Loyola. At present, Canada has 13 Ambassadors, 6 High Commissioners, 8 Ministers and 4 Charges d’ Affaires in her service. Of these, four of the ambassadors are former Loyola students: Major-General George Vanier, Ambassador to France; Mr. John D. Kearney, M.C., K.C., Ambassador to Argentina; Mr. George L. Magann, Ambassador to Greece; and Mr. Leon Mayrand, Ambassador to Chile.
