3 Y O L A P STUDENT BODY COUNCIL AND ADVISORY BOARD The Student Body Council of Loyola College, the governing tribunal of the As- sociated Students, is composed primarily of the student body officers together with the presidents of the various classes. The managers and captains of the sports, in season, and the editors of the publications are ex-officio members, and an advisory board composed of three active students appointed by the moderator, completes the role. The functions are legislative and executive. That corresponding to the judicial is vest- ed in the moderator who also acts in a supervisory capacity. The body meets at speci- fied intervals and more frequently when sponsoring collegiate activities such as the College Dance and annual dramatic or debating productions. The constitution is an all-governing codicil and the rights and powers of the council are contained therein. Each member of the student body is entitled to ballot. Amendments to the constitu- tion require an unanimous vote before they become effective. All matters pertaining to athletics such as the requirements for letter men in the various branches, are covered by the constitutional provisions. Special awards and honors are also conferred by vote of the council on students to distinguish themselves in collegiate activities such as debating. The advisory board is a stabilizing factor in the actions of the council as it repre- sents the sentiments of those not in office, serving thereby to counterbalance any rail- road tendencies that might arise on the part of the official councilmen. This system of checks and balances operates very effectively and is useful and famous in Loyola ' s student government as the national check system on the government affairs at the Capitol. President Phil Girard appointed Tom Haddock, Martin Burke and Tom Pitts to act in the capacity of advisory board members. All three are representative members of the Student Body and were selected because of their executive ability. Haddock heads the business staff of the Annual, Burke has been handling the sporting publicity for the College, and Pitts has been a member of the athletic managerial staff for the past four years.

The last page sent to the press. Now may the staff settle back to await the judgment of Loyola students. The preparation of this year ' s Loyola has necessitated long hours of tedious work on the part of the staff. It has demanded sacrifice on the part of many. Consequently this page stands alone in the year book as a tribute to the unstinted cooperation, the complete self-sacrifice of the members of the staff. They have given generously of their time and energy that this year ' s annual might excel those of Bernard Roberts Nicholson Jones tSSaii. f 22]
