              The LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XXXV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, May 2, 1958 No. 22 Seven Assume Presidential Posts Seven Loyolans were elected to the post of president in the various schools and colleges in campus elections held Monday and Tuesday. Presidents elected are Jerry Hoskins, arts and sciences; Bob McLaughlin, business administration; Ronald Haydel, pharmacy; Peter Butler, law; Rosemary Hoppe, music; Frank DePaula, dentistry; and Harold Legendre, evening division. Junior representatives from A&S are Carolyn Brandt, Charles Hannemann, Malcolm Schwarzenbach, Camille Tamborello, and Bob Wilkie. Larry Henneberger and Lynnette Hubert were elected as junior representatives from BA. Pharmacy chose Paul Rozas and Sal Alphonse as representatives. Representatives from law are Armand Brinkhaus and Gaspar Schiro. Music representatives are Kathleen Tonry and Sigrid Boulmay. Dentistry representatives are Don McSpadden and Herbert Gentry. Representing the evening division will be Harold Dearie and Anthony Enterante. Sophomore representatives from A&S are Pat Born, Maria Cicero, Bill Hammel, Danny Matthews and Dave Wessel. Sophomore representatives from BA are Gerard Hansen and Thomas McGoey. The president of the student council is to be chosen from the presidents of the various colleges at the May 19 meeting. All other officers, vice president, secretary, treasurer and parliamentarian, can be chosen from any member of the council. Elections in A&S and BA were highly organized, working under the new rules governing council elections. The acquisition of voting machines proved to be an impediment to the speed of voting but they greatly speeded the counting of ballots, Ed Peace, student council president, said. The race in BA for president ran very close with only six votes difference between the candidates. In the other schools and colleges the margin of victory was wider. The outgoing council held it's last business meeting Tuesday and will hold its banquet Tuesday night at Delmonico's Restaurant. "WHY CAN'T I VOTE?" five-year-old DANNY HILBERT asks poll commiuioner GASPER SCHIRO as he attempts to cast his ballot in the student council elections. Judging by the results, DANNY's vigorous campaigning for HOSKINS was very effective. Forum To Feature Priest-Explorer The Rev. Daniel Linehan, S.J., Antarctic priest-explorer will speak on the final Loyola Forum Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the St. Charles Hotel, the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., director, announced. A member of "Operation Deep Freeze," the expedition which explored regions near the South Pole, Father Linehan will speak on the Anarctic and his explorations. While a member of "Operation Deep Freeze," under Rear Admiral George J. Dufek, Father Linehan was credited with making the major scientific finding that there is rock above sea level at the Pole. A seismologist and professor of geophysics at Boston College, Father Linehan made this discovery by setting off three blasts of TNT in a 48 foot crater. His discovery solved the long speculated problem as to what lies beneath the ice-covered surface of the South Pole. Betide* being an important contribution to man'* knowledge of Anarctica, a land discovered in the early 1800's but still only partially explored, Father Linehan's discovery also determined the practicality of constructing air fields at the Pole. Anarctica is ranked as the fifth largest continent. It covers more than 6,000,000 sq. miles, nearly twice the area of the U. S. It has enough ice to cover the entire world under a 100 foot glacier. Tickets for Father Linehan's speech are on sale at the book store, Petetin's, Jesuit Church on Baronne St., and the Catholic Book Store. Students will be admitted free upon presentation of student-identification cards.
