The comments aroused a certain amount of d:scussion, but the matter was never brought to a head since the summer vacations cut short the discussion. At the last meeting of the Student Activity Board, the question was re-opened, and it was decided to place the situation before the student body. The Maroon was selected as the proper n'edium. and The Maroon will publish articles dealing with bath sides of the question. This article, the first to appear, will present the case of those wh: "- asking for a reform in the methed of elections, while the article in next week's Maroon will uphold the Council's present position. After the students have become thoroughly acquainted with bcth sides of the question, The Maroon will conduct a ballot on the issue and the Council will abide by the result. THE CASE AGAINST THE PRESENT METHOD OF ELECTIONS TO THE STUDENT COUNCIL It will be this writer's purpose to set forth, as clearly as possible, the method of elections to the Student Council as it exists at present, and then to draw the conclusions which seem to call for reform. Prior to the publication of the editorial which began the discussion and which was followed by the Council's amendment, the system of elections was as follows: The Freshman Class, at the conclusion of their Freshman year, selected by vote two candidates from the members of their class. These men were then approved by the faculty. The men were called before the Council, and introduced to the various members of the Council. The Council then selected one of the two men. This selection was made regardless of the manner in which the class voted for the men.

The Council had been working for some time, trying to have the date advanced to March 16 in an endeavor to eliminate the undesirable feature of having the exams immediately following the Easter holidays.

A compromise was affected by having them postponed to April 4, wh.ch is a full •.ck after Easter. FLORIDA IS NEXT ON DEBATE LIST Ainsworth And Zinser Will Face Peninsula State Boys On Gov't.

Chicago Loyola Has Grown Since Football Ban So States Regent of School Of Medicine While On Southern Trip ' The abolition of intercollegiate , football at Loyola University of Chicago has not tended to decrease the enrollment at the university but on the contrary our student body has actually grown larger since this major sport has been done away with," said the Rev. Terence Ahearn, S. J., regent of the school of medicine at the Chicago Loyola. "Reports have it that there are more students participating in the intra-mural sports than ever before. This is probably due to the fact that since they have no varsity men to compete with they are more at ease and turn out in large numbers for the games, while | under intercollegiate conditions that they wouldn't have a chance to win a position on the varsity | teams," Father Ahearn said. Father Ahearn's visit to Loyola of the South was prompted by a nervous breakdown suffered some time ago and physicians ordered him here to recuperate. At the same time he is renewing old friendships among the faculty of the southern Loyola. He inspected the dental school and said that it was one of the finest he had ever seen. Loyola has the reputation of havinu one of the best dental departments of any Southern university.

Real Story of Marquette Birds Comes To Light At Last By Paul Capdevielle How many times have you looked interestedly at the bird collection in Marquette Hall and wondered "Where the devil have these thing* conic from?" They are very beautiful and Incidentally they' are very rare. Perhaps you have suspected that. But what of their origin? "Oh," someone probably told you, reverting to rumor, "they were made by Audubon." If you were a freshman, your eyes probably opened a bit wider. It is, of course, a very romantic and interesting rumor. But, like most interesting and romantic "historical" rumors, it la mere fiction. Like Washington and the cherry tree, or Columbus and the queen's jewels. The real story, thanks to the Rev. Albert Biever, S, .1., pastor of the Church of the Holy Name, bus come to light as last. The birds belong to Father Biever. They were given him by Mrs. (iustave Kahn, while Father Biever was pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Baronne street. That was over thirty years ago. When Loyola, was built, Father Biever placed the birds in Marquette Hall, at the stairs landing between the second and third floors. They are there to this day. The birds were not made by Audubon, but by Mr. Kahn himself, who was a great nature specialist. They represent a very rare and complete collection of the birds found in Louisiana. And that is their true tale.
