Delegates To NFCCS Selected Ralph Redmann was named senior delegate and Gene Palmisano was elected junior delegate of the National Federation of Catholic College Students Monday by the Student Council. Council members passed a resolution proposed by Ida Chirieleison, outgoing senior delegate, that the senior and junior delegates be seated on the council, the president of the council serving as exofficio senior delegate, and the junior delegate being elected by members of the Student Council. Miti Chirieleison emphasized the importance of being affiliated with the national federation since every Loyola student is a member and Loyola pays dues. Three organizations are already affiliated with the federation: Forensics, Pan-American, and Interracial. The Student Council also decided that Thespians will now have official charge of booking Marquette auditorium under a separate date book system. The decision was made due to the many conflicts over use of the auditorium in the past, the valuable theatrical equipment which is being mishandled and the need of Thespians for use of the stage for their theatrical productions.

President's Christmas Message Christmas is a time of giving since it commemorates the heavenly day of the heavenly gife of the God of heaven to the men of earth— "God so loved the world as to give it His only begotten Son." His gift has never been retracted. Christmas after Christmas, century after century, year by year, day by day, He has continued to give the world and us Himself. May Christmas mean for us a deeper appreciation, a happier and more fruitful recognition of this gift. May it also help us to learn the lesson of God's giving, so that we may give ourselves more fully to God. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J. Lady Of Guadalupe Honored At Mass The Pan American club of Loyola honored Our Lady of Guadalupe at the student monthly Man Wednesday. A procession of members bearing Latin American flags preceded Mass. The club served as sponsor to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe which was Dec. 12. "Devotion to Mary under the title of Guadalupe has spread throughout the world," the Rev. Anthony C. O'Fylnn, S.J., pointed out. "At the time of the apparition, Mexico was not yet separated from the United States, and so for us, as well as for the Mexicans, did she appear. Pius XI, in 1933, proclaimed her the Virgin of the Americas." Free Dance Tonight Back the Pack
