COUNCIL TO PUT SPORT PICTURES IN TROPHY CASE Shots Of All Varsity Teams Since 1927 Will Be Secured For Posterity In justice to posterity, the Student Council decided, at its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday, to take action to bring up to date varsity pictures in the Trophy cases in Marquette Hall. While containing all of the many trophies won since the inauguration of collegiate athletic competition at Loyola, the cases are sadly lacking in the line of varsity picture. The prospective list of pictures to be secured include varsity football lettermen since 1927, all varsity track and basketball teams and the boxing stars of the present, together with a few outstanding athletes of the past. While this will involve considerable expense, the Council believes that the need is imperative and admits of no better time for fulfillment than at the present.

After a vote it was found that a mystery play, interspersed with comedy, was in the highest favor. Then the President appointed a "play-reading" committee composed of Carl Buchmann, chairman, Leo Zinser, and John Schilecci. This committee will be given a number of plays by the director and after they have read through the enth'e lot they will rate each play and the one with the highest rating will be the one chosen for the production.A new plan, of competitive role choosing, was adopted by the society, and as soon as it is approved by the director it will be put into effect. The play, when chosen by the committee, will be read at a meeting and all members wishing to try out certain parts will hand in their names to the director; the member will then enact a short interpretation of the character chosen and the one giving the best performance will be awarded the part. The president also appointed several men to assist him in scouting around for a suitable downtown playhouse in which the production could be given. If suitable arrangements can be made B.
