ROTC Cadet Colonel, CO Have Reunion In Japan Loyola's first ROTC cadet colonel and the university's first commanding officer of the Military Police unit met in J;:pan, three years after the Army unit was founded here. First Lt. Anthony Lentini, Loyola's first battalion commander, who returned home last week after 14 months of active duty in Korea, said he met Col. Andrew Padgett, the army unit's first commanding officer, in Japan last April, where the latter is Provost Marshal. "We were both glad to see each other and talk over old times," said Lentini, who visited the colonel while on a five-day rest and recuperation leave. "Col. Padgett was eager to learn of ROTC activities at Loyola and university news in general— so I gave him a copy of the Maroon that I had with me," the 27- year-old lieutenant said. With five battle stars on his Korean ribbon to show for the time he spent fighting with the 24th Infantry Division, Lentini is home for a month's leave with his wife, the former Ellen Behlar, tnony, jr. The young officer, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lentini of Kenner, must report to Camp Chaffee, Ark., on October 2, to pick up his new army assignment, which, he hopes will be a training assignment in the States.

Moves For More Power Made By Student Council By GARY HYMEL On April 12, 192R, Loyola got a Student Council and the power of student government. On September 12, 1951, 'the .Student Council voted to accept the authority to use this power. This fact was brought to life by the Dean of Men, the Rev. Anthony C. O'Flynn, S. J., who, as he termed it, is "trying to put campus affairs back in the hands of the Student Council and lessen the dominance of the administration".By a special vote, the S. C. decided to follow these three rules: (1) complete coordination of student activities and organizations, (2) enforcement of campus discipline, and (3) representation of the University at off-campus functions. The vote was 17 to none, two abstaining. "In effect, the reactionary plan would subject the student to appeal to the Council instead of the Dean's office for matters of campus activity; Fr. O'Flynn said. "The plan includes power to enforce and revise the S. C. constitution" he added, "and makes the Council authoritarian instead of representative." Fr. O'Flynn will keep a veto p£wer. Under the program for better student government, the Council will control the Date Book and retain the power to suspend any organization from the campus if that organization is ineffective. The Council will also hold a court for violators of the "no smoking", "coat and tie", etc., rules and will have authority to fine students. The idea was suggested to the Council by Fr. O'Flynn after he attended a national convention of Catholic Universities where he spoke to student council officers and representatives of other colleges.The Student Council is now contacting other university councils for suggestions and material for which to build an effective system.George Coumes, second year Law student, is chairman of the constitutional committee which is made up of Council members Rally Barker, James Clause, and Mike O'Keefe. The student council will begin to enforce the rules at the beginning of next semester after students have been warned through" the bulletin board and the Maroon. DR. RAYMOND P. WITTE, assistant professor of history, and chairman of the New Orleans unit of the Catholic Committee of the South, has been appointed to the archdiocesan school board by His Excellency Joseph F. Rummel, Archbishop of New Orleans. He replaces Dr. Vernon X. Miller, former dean of Loyola's School of Law. Five laymen of the archdiocese compose *he board and assist in conducting Catholic schools. Loyola's First Dean Celebrates Diamond Jubilee As Jesuit The dean of Loyola University, 77 year old Rev. Patrick A. Ryan, celebrated his diamond jubilee as a Jesuit Wednesday in Dallas Texas. Father Ryan, who was also an ethics and metaphysics professor here for seven years, entered the Society of Jesus September 12, 1891. He was ordained by Cardinal Gibbons June 29, 1905, and soon afterward came from Woodstock college, Maryland, to Loyola. During his term as dean, the law, dental, and pharmacy departments were established, as well as extension courses and summer school for religious. He was house minister at the old Jesuit college on Baronne street, for a period, and in 1924 became first superior of the retreat house at Suburban Acres, New Orleans. In 1898 he held the chair of rhetoric at the University of San Francisco. He has lDeen pasor in Augusta, Georgia, and El Faso, Texas, and has been associate editor of "Jesuit Missions" for a quarter century. He is' now stationed at Jesuit High School, Dallas. U. S. Post Office, Printing Press To Be Installed Soon Plans for the installation of a Postal unit and a Printing Press and Binding Shop at Loyola were announced this week by Mr. Thomas R. l'roston, manager of the university's Book Store. Postal notice is being made around town and bids are being accepted Mr. Preston said. Final approval of the unit should be made within two weeks and the Postal office will be opened for business within two weeks after construction begins, he said. When installed, the Postal unit will occupy what is now the Book Store office. Partitioning will separate the unit from the Book Store, and entrance into the Postal office will be through what is now the quadrangle entrance to the Book Store. Postal hours are tentatively planned from 8:30 a. m. until noon, and from 1 p. m. until 5 p. m. The unit will handle packages, money orders and all forms of Postal delivery. Should the faculty want mail on Sunday, the university watchman will be able to open the office and get it for them. The unit will be compktely independent of the Book Store, he announced. The Printing Press and Binding Shop under consideration will be located on the Freret St. side of the Business Administration building and will also be managed by Preston. An electric multigraph distributor, a hand multigraph, electric typewriter, and binding material have already been obtained, he said, and the shop should be in operation by the first of October. "Within the multigraph distributor you can print cheaper on an overall basis than you can with a miniograph machine," Preston commented. The shop will handle only light material such as programs, book lists, and booklets, and the greater part of the binding business will be the rebinding of library books, he added.

When the Loyola Student Lounge wa« refurnished, the sturdy old oak furniture was moved into the "Rek Room , where it was said to be needed. Since then several pieces have been broken as a result of "horse play." Surely this is not a sign of appreciation to the board of directors which consented to giving the furniture to the "Rek Room"—a place well named. Next Maroon Issue October 12 D
