Thirteen Offices Almost Jinx to Pre-Law Student For a time it appeared as though thirteen offices would be a jinx to Stephen B. Rodi. Election returns were being recorded and the name Rodl was conspicuous by its absence. The results of the Blue Key election showed that the jinx was broken. Because he plans to transfer to the Loyola law school Steve did not "choose to run". Although he will retain active membership in all the extra curricular organizations to which he belongs, Rodi felt that work in the law school might conflict with the duties of elective offices. Since he was leaving the college of arts and sciences, he was ineligible to hold senior class offices. During his three years at Loyola, Rodi has held the following offices: vice-president of 'the Student Council; president of the junior and sophomore classes; president of the New Orleans College Council of Sodalities; prefect of the freshman sodality; prefect and secretary of the upperclassman sodality; student council representative of the sophomore and junior classes; treasurer of the freshman class; president of the Receive Members At Sodality Meet Officers of the College Council were installed and candidates for admission into the Freshman and TJpperelassmen sodalities were received at a special meeting last week in Thomas Hall chapel.
