It has become their job to carry that spirit throughout the rest of the school year as well. But what of the unpinned students—the ones with no organizational ties—should they do more, could they do more : These are the questions posed in this week's student poll—questions to which Loyolans offer candid, even belligerent responses.

Program Merrill Landwehr and Jerome Reso, law seniors, have been named to the Attorney General's 1961 Program for Honor Law Graduates. The new program for recruiting outstanding law graduates for employment in the various divisions of the Department of Justice was established by Attorney Generals Horbert Brownell, Jr. and William R. Rogers. Since 1954 this program has resulted in the placement of 355 honor graduates from approximately 76 different law schools. The recruiting program has been so successful and rewarding, both to the Department of Justice and to the young attorneys participating in the program, that it was continued this year. Selections for this program are made strictly on basis of merit and are generally limited to those in the top 15 per cent of their class. Loyola law school students appointed to the program were officially notified recently. Thep urposes of the program were described by the Attorney General in his original announcement of its initiation on an experimental basis: The purposes of the program two-fold. The Department of Justice needs the services of young top-flight lawyers. We are confident that many who come with the idea of staying only a short time will recognize the importance of Government service, its many opportunities, and will elect to make it a career. On the other hand, the legal profession as a whole will benefit by the training and knowledge that these young people will carry with them into the private practice of law. Where so much litigation today is between the Government and private interests, both sides of these controversies will benefit if lawyers have knowledge and appreciation of Government practices and procedures."Alumni Mass To Open Homecoming Festivities CAMPUS COURT—Seven lovely coedi will reign over Homecoming festivities which begin Sunday and extend through next Saturday.

Motion To Oust NSA Defeated By Narrow 13-10 Margin By EUGENE KATSANIS The Student Council killed a motion Tuesday to sever its connection and membership with the National Student Association by a narrow 13 to 10 vote. The motion was made by Joseph Conino, law school president. Sponsored by the law school representatives the move increased NSA opposition on the Council considerably as compared with last year's vote of 22 to 2 in favor of NSA. Opposition to NSA said that the organization is Communistic infiltrated and attacked the association on its stand and practices concerning sit-in demonstrations. Pro-NSA Council members, refuting Communistic infiltration attacks, read telegrams of congratulations to NSA on their National Congress from President Eisenhower, Vice President Richard Nixon and President-Elect Jack Kennedy. They also read letters from the United States Attorney General and Congress saying that NSA is not to their knowledge in any way connected with Communism. The Council debated the NSA question for an hour and twenty minutes without having a mo- Student Council Votes tion on the floor. Council president Roland Doucet could not get a motion concerning NSA for another ten minutes so that discussion could be in order. Once a motion was obtained. Doucet ruled that the question had to be held over to the next meeting since it required a change in the constitution. In doing so he interpreted the "resolution" to disaffiliate with NSA which was made by the law school at a special Council meeting on Monday as only a request that Council members study NSA in order to debate whether or not Loyola should continue to be a member. After extending the meeting twice over its 7 p.m. limit, the Council members voted to over-rule the president and vote on the motion. Tom Geil, former president of the National Federation of Catholic Students, told members that his association fully supports NSA and that NSA can bring a lot to the Loyola campus. Both pro and con members rehashed the same arguments as last year's Council with quotes from the Congressional Record, letters, NSA National Congress minutes and resolutions, telegrams and newspaper articles.

"Father Gardiner has lectured and written extensively on the distinction between obscenity and realism in modern literature," said Father Clancy. "On these questions, he speaks with the double authority of a learned theologian and a distinguished literary critic and his observations should be interesting, especially to parents, educators and students." REV. HAROLD GARDINER, S.J. Columnist- Discusses Kiddie Talk-Action How do your darling kid brothers, cousins and nephews pick up some of their hair raising, laughsurpressing expressions? Why from you, of course. Art Linkletter is quite right when he says, "Kids say the darndest things" Seems the little imps see a whole facet of life that adults just skim over. Hil Leibe reports, however, that not only do the kiddie's articulate a few gems they also do quite a bit of mischief.
