The Men of the Student Council Beset with many problems, they took issue over nearly every phase of campus activity including the administration. T he student council is that traditional group of Loyola students commissioned by their constitu- tion “to regulate and maintain College traditions, dis- ciplinary rules, and most student activity of a non-academic nature.” President Emidio A. Bianco was chosen by vote of the student body in the spring of 1949. The councilmen meet every week; they are the heads of the twenty-odd clubs and organizations on campus. Father Talbot, president of the college, is the Council’s Jesuit moderator, and Doctor Harry W. Kirwin was selected as this year’s lay faculty advisor. The 1949-1950 session of the Council, like all pre- ceding ones, ran the gauntlet of political snares and tangles in procedure. Parliamentary formality often gave way to the local wit or sudden bursts of oratory. But from all this there did emerge much constructive thought, good training in management and leadership, and some worthwhile objective criticism of adminis- tration policy, always submitted to the “powers that be” in good faith but not always accepted. The present Council constitution is but two years old, and consequently, the first weeks were occupied wdth efforts to buttress it. Necessary amendments were written, and the “law of the precedents” was more clearly defined. A new system of class elections was adopted. It is modeled after the established system for the election of Council presidents. In the issues over administration policy, the Council was for the most part unsuccessful. The proposals to the administration included: a student-faculty evalua- tion plan, a moderated cut system, a new method of exempting students from the semester examinations on condition that they achieve the Dean’s List, and the issuance of full-season pass books to the January graduates. The Council’s greatest success, as always, w as in the field of unifying extra-curricular activities. By assem- bling of presidents, prefects, and editors on common ground the Council achieved organization and unity often found lacking in day-hop colleges. N.F.C.C.S. PROJECTS WERE PUSHED A LOYOLA MAN PRESIDED OVER N.S.A. The National Federation of Catholic College Stiidenls was locally represented by, left to right, Joseph McManus, Robert Bollinger, Joseph Paszek, Neal Bathon and Edward Pula, the senior delegate from Loyola College. The federation presents a united front in Catholic college education and fosters many local and national projects for student participation. Ann Connor, Kenneth Grimm, Richard Cadigan and Patricia Maguire, left to right, confer over regional mat- ters of the National Student Association. Cadigan is president of the Mason-Dixon Conference and senior representative of Loyola College. The local group works with the association in forming policy programs on national issues in education.

ifXA FACULTY EPITAPH Teachers are a singular group. Their characteristic expressions frequently become bywords in student con- versations; and by these, they are best remembered. N ow THAT THE BOOKS are closed and the marks recorded, the grads of ’50 will frequently call back memories of the classroom and the pedagogical his- trionics that took place there. Whether or not the present faculty of Loyola would be considered “typical” by the professional world is of little matter, for in the eyes of the student they are uniquely individual. With their various idiosyncrasies they are probably the most thoroughly analyzed persons on the face of the earth. Before the end of the first semester they have been boiled down by their students until there remain only a few facial expressions, sage remarks, jokes (funny and otherwise), test-fixations, etc. By these, they are remembered. On the other hand, it must be admitted that, in the life of the prof, the jumble of students coming and going also displays eccentricities which cannot be for- gotten. And so, in the passing parade of profs and scholars there is a wealth of anecdotical material for the collector. In a spirit of good fun and with as little toe-treading as possible, the staff has gathered from various cafe- teria sources a comprehensive collection of typical classroom expressions, which we here seek to carve as a faculty epitaph, on e for each teacher. Since accents and tone of voice could not be put down on paper, we must ask the reader to supply them. Unfortunately, the portraits of several members of the faculty could not be included in this sec- tion. Dr. William M. Thornton, research chemist, and the Rev. James A. Walsh, S.J., Ph.D., pro- fessor of philosophy, are among the missing. We would also like to mention Mrs. S. Valden Coulter, director of public relations, and Mr. Henry L. Zerhusen, director of the Guidance and Placement Bureau. ALLAN F. ANTISDEL B.S., Ph.M. English “I can take two to Ocean City, this weekend.” GEORGE T. ARTOLA A.R.
