              IL Jlfjllt O ON Vol. XXXVIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 3, 1961 No. 15 SC Defeats Motion To Take Integration Stand Group Gives Voting Seat To Freshmen By EUGENE KATSANIS The Student Council, in another stormy session which lasted well over two hours, finally voted down a three week old motion to take a stand on the integration problem in New Orleans.The motion was brought back to the floor after Dennis Yaeger, A&S representative, raised a point of order which resulted in the suspension of all action taken at last week's meeting1. In other moves the group approved a constitutional amendment that gives the president of the freshmen committee a voting seat on the Council. They alio revoked the charter of Pi Kappa Epsilon, business fraternity, because it was an inactive and dormant organization on campus. In an overwhelming vote of 18 to 6, the Council decided not to take a stand on the current race problem. Yeager's point of order explained that the objection made last week by Vic Lota and which was approved by the Council was out of order. He said that since discussion had taken place at the Council meeting of Feb. 7 it was illegal to object. He thus held that the entire actions at last week's Council meeting null and void. The parliamentarian, Harold Dearie, overruled Yeager's point of order saying that he understood (he was absent at that meeting) that no discussion had taken place. He held that the objection was legal and that the motion could not be brought to the floor. Council president Roland Doucet, in accordance with the rules, stood with the decision of the parliamentarian explaining that the constitution states that the parliamentarian has the final say in matters of this nature. Long debates by both camps fol- today's inside pages By KIT HARGER Back In Time Via The Rivals' been the theme of many science ►tion films i d TV programs. The frightening experience of bei n g catapulted back into the 15th century or prehistoric time by some mysterious element or man made time machine, has brought hours of disconcerting entertainment to the people of America. Well the Thespian drama group doesn't do anything so drastic as that but they do intend to bring you back a few years into the 18th century through Sheridan's time machine "The Rivals." To see how they are accomplishing this turn to Page T Take A Stand' Fiasco Discussed It looks as if the Council's "To take a stand or not to take a stand" fiasco is finally settled. Let's hope so. Many student aren't too happy about being booted out of the Council's, by now infamous, closed session last week. Many think the Council members were out of their realm together for even considering the issue (and the opposite too). One interesting note is that it's now actually illegal to "take a stand" against segregation—it's a state law (unconstitutional and ineffective as it is). Anyway for a few student opinions on the situation see the campus poll. Page 2 Editor Judy Scata has a few chidding words for the Council members too. To sum it up—the whole thing was poorly handled. Page 4 ■fr it •& Anti-Vivisectionist Movement—Topic An anti-vivisectionist is a radical. He would rather see the human race fall prey to every and any disease then allow any scientific experimentation on animals. Madmen? Yes they are to some degree for they fail to see the necessity of such experiments; they fail to see that animals have no rights and are on earth only for man's use. Just as animals are used for food they can be used for medical purposes. (Of course all these experiments should be carried on with the least possible pain to the animals.) Beasts before men? See this timely article.

'Wolf Is Completed; Due Here May 20 The 1961 Wolf is complete and has been sent to the Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas. The last cut is in place, the last caption has been set, and The Wolf will soon be a reality. Barring any unforeseen "difficulties," the 1961 Wolf will be delivered to the university around May 20 and will be distributed before the present academic year ends, according to Edwin P. Fricke, journalism moderator. This year the yearbook will be divided into (even section* which will be devoted to student life, leadership, beauty, organizations, sports, students (individual class pictures), and the faculty and staff. The cover, for the first time in university history, will consist of four colors. Another first for the 1961 Wolf was the selection of a senior coed as "Miss Wolf" by the yearbook staff. Selection wsa based on personality, poise, beauty, and scholarship. Walter Sandel, Wolf editor, stated that "Miss Wolf" will share a position with the Campus Court Queen in the yearbook's beauty section and will be presented at the Publications Banquet at the end of the year. Managing editor for this year's Wolf is Hil Leibe, BA senior. Section editors are Kit Harger and Judy Scata, A&S seniors; Elaine Bevinetto and Judy Brock, BA seniors; Bert Emke, A&S junior; and Jack Duarte and Lucien Salvant, A&S sophomores. Bonnie McGinley, A&S sophomore, is business manager. The yearbook became a project of the journalism department when preparations for the 1959 Wolf began. Milton Alberstadt, editor of the 1960 yearbook, achieved a breakthrough in traditional Wolf design by adopting modern principles of planning and layout. That yearbook received a "First Class" rating from the American Collegiate Press. Ceylon Mission Drive WORTHY CAUSE—The Ceylon Minion Drive will begin one week of concentrated collection March 13-17.
