Didusch, S.J., presented its annual seminar program with a variety of topics ranging from “The Races of Man” to “Evolution — Recent Views”. The club was comprised of comparative anatomy students.

Student Leaders Diseuss Pressing Issues Student Council proceedings of the past year took on a new air of proficiency and expediency. Under the presidency of Howard J. France, the Council was quick to adopt a new constitution, a task handed down by a previous Council. At the start of the year, election of Council offi- cers put Lawrence Rodowsky in as Vice-president; Joseph Blair, Secretary; Joseph Serio, Treasurer; John Seal, Parliamentarian; Edward Pula, Social Secretary and Dr. Harry Kirwin, lay faculty moderator. The Rev. Joseph K. Drane, S.J., repre- sented the religious faculty at the meetings. Important precedents were established by the body. Most notable were the use of the Council as an arbiter of disputes between organizations and the recognition that the governing group must play an active instead of a passive role in fostering the activities of its members. Two new members were added to the organiza- tion; Eta Sigma Phi and the Industrial Manage- ment Club. HOWIE FRANCE
