The action of the Council followed the presentation of a formal petition by two of the foremost proponents of the change—Felicien Lozes and Leo Zinser. Fighting in the cause of absolute democracy, they proposed the new plan of having each class elect its representatives every year. Under the old method, each class nominated two men with the Council having the final word as to who would serve At the expiration of one year, the class nominated another man. The one on the Council was automatically renorrinated and again the Council chose between these two. If the man who had already served one year was again selected by the Council, he automatically became the representative of that class for the remainder of its course. The resolution whereby the Council changed to the new method, follows, verbatim: "Whereas, the Loyola Student Body in a recent ballot, voted 196 to 101 in favor of a change from the present method of election to the Student Council be changed as follows: Toward the end of each scholastic year, each ANNUAL BANQUET SATURDAY NIGHT Father Hynes To Address Faculty Of Commerce School The annual banquet of the department of commerce and finance will be held Saturday night at 8 p. m., in the Faculty residence, Thomas hall, according to an announcement by the Rev.

FLYNNS VICTORIOUS IN BOUTS AT KNIGHTS , OF COLUMBUS HALL Eddie Flynn won a decision over Norman White at the Knights of Columbus last week.

Dennis 1 shot a right to Eurbank's mid- tl section, and a terrific left to his t chin that sent him down for the s count. c Hulda ofHolland Makes Big Hit \ In New Iberia Teche Turns Out En En Massee For Operetta The Loyola University Glee Club, with the ninth performance of "Hulda of Holland," has invaded the land of Evangeline, and Evangeline liked it. The party left New Orleans Saturday morning in cars, cast and musicians and a few tech- | nicians and guests. The players j were supposed to reach New j Iberia by six thirty, for it was announced all along, the Teche that the curtain would rise on "Hulda of Holland" at eight o'cock sharp, and it takes fully an hour and a half for settling down and dressing and the application of makeup. Despite stops at various Teche towns, including Morgan City, Jeanerette .Franklin and Houma, j most of the road-show actors reached New Iberia early enough to go to the famous Avery Island where the largest salt mine in the world is located. The young citizens of New Iberia led the way, and those of us who are familiar only with street cars and skyscrapers, followed in a sort of I daze. Through huge bamboo forests we went, and past the famous I Avery Island game reserve,, where thousands of rare birds nest and live in comfort and complete security .Cranes and wild turkey and white-plumed aigrettes, nestinng fifteen to the tree and refusing to fly away at our approach Then visiting the famous salt mines and climbing over hills and through gulleys and canyons down sheel cliffs to the famous salt pools—clear blue water seventy-five feet deep situated where once was a flourishing salt mine Thn after swimming and diving from salt rocks and hard grass back of New Iberia for the show The huge auditorium was filled fifteen minutes before the curtain was supposed to rise The orchestra oddly enough was packed into the wings giving a vitaphone effect. The play must have gone over smoothly for congratulations ; poured in at the various dances, suppers and parties afterwards. The next morning everybody was impressed by the picturesque antiquity of the old red Church, I and the fact that the ancient priest ' sermoned in French. And then, : afer swims and breakfasts and i mellow adieus, we were off down 1 the long road for New Orleans C again. The New Iberia presenta- C tion of "Hulda of Holland, 'was \ over. The tinkling Dutch music i hay fled the 'prairies of fair 1 Opelousas." Hulda slowly van- t ished, and Evangeline re-ascended 1 her rightful throne among the C magnolias and plantations of t placid Bayou Teehe.

EIGHT FRESHMEN SHAVE HEADS Depression Hair Cuts In Evidence On Loyola Campus By Bob Ainsworth In the Spring a Loyola freshman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of having his head shaved. Or so it would seem from what happened last week in the Texas Ranch when eight fresh freshmen , voluntarily had their hair cut down to the bone by a pair of dentists. It all started when the boys began to take a balance of the funds which remain to carry them through the final month and a half ' of school. Money being scarce for them, as it is for all poor American citizens at this time, it was finally resolved amongst the seven, at the special instigation of the dentists, that money could be saved by getting a depression hair cut. The sun need shine no more at c Loyola. The brilliance of eight bald { ' plates is sufficient to light up this [ c campus and that of our adjoining ' neighbor. c And if we are to prevent a * smashup of the general solar sys- | c tem, and of all the traffic which 4 flows on the avenue, the university : t had better take ways and means of | I 'NOT HERBERT' i CAST, MAKING RAPID PROGRESS Tickets For Annual Play Placed On Sale Last Week The cast of "Not Herbert" has been steadily going along with its rehearsals in preparation for the big presentation which will be given next month on May 7th and Bth.

At I present special scenery is being painted by an artist, while many contraptions and trick devices have been ordered in order that this mystery-drama may be more effectively put before the audience.The Thespians have already put over many successful and well received performances from every point of view, but considering the increased membership of the club, and the enthusiasm of all concerned, Doc Bonomo will have every opportunity of making the present appearance of his charges far eclipse those of former years. The tickets have already been printed and will be put o* sale as soon as possible. VARSITY OFFICIALS TO INVESTIGATE HARRIS' CHARGES (By College New.
