              The Loyola Maroon VOL. XXIX, X-258 Loyola University, New Orleans, April 25, 1952 No.-4* S. C. Considers New Constitution by Larry Callen At present, the Student Council is considering the adoption of a new constitution to supercede the code presently in effect. The recent acceptance of Student Government function by the Council necessitates a new constitution with clearly defined procedure. If Loyola is to have Student Government, the Council must have effective tools. The charter being considered does not provide them. The present charter has no executive officer, for the President has little more voice than any other member. Around the question of Executive office, there are two opinion* within the Council. Group one is for keeping the powers of the President at a minimum, limiting them even further by provisions within the new charter.Group two it attempting to extend the power* of the president, eventually resulting in a system similar to the Nation's President and two Houses. In the new constitution, backed by group one, the Executive power is endowed in the Council as a whole, as is the Legislative power. This is similar to the regulations I of the old constitution. The change comes into effect in the Judicial Department. Article 3-B, Section 1 reads "The Judicial Department shall be composed of six Justices and a Chief Justice, who together will form the Student Court. The Justices shall be chosen by the Student Council i from its membership, and shall serve for a period of one school year; provided that the Chief Justice shall be a Law School representative."Undoubtedly a Chief Justice from Law School would be an asset, but by no means a necessity. The man makes the job. Section 2, "The Student Court shall have the power to summon, to hear, and to judge a student or student organization charged with an infraction of its regulations, and to apply such sanctions and fines as it believes just for said infractions."The above powers concentrated, wielded by six students for the period of one year could effectively counteract all .legislation. Legislation passed by the Council as a whole, unfavorable to the members of the Judicial Department (or affecting friends) could be blocked or punishment made light. Jesuit Society Receives Sixteen Alpha Sigma Nu, national honorary Jesuit scholastic society, has named sixteen new members for 1952, according to the Rev. C. C. Chapman, S.J., moderator. "Membership to the society is awarded on the basis of scholarship, loyalty and service to the University," Father Chapman said. Member* from Law school are Blake G. Arata, George R.
