Selection of chairmen prejudiced—Cordaro By EUGENE KATSANIS I Student Council J. B. Cordaro, arts and science president, lashed out a protest at the Student Council's new president, Jack Dardis, at the Council's first meeting Tuesday in the student lounge. Cordaro said that he wanted to go on record as objecting to "fraternal prejudices in selecting the chairmen of * the newly appointed committees."Cordaro said it is obvious that the majority of chairmen are in one particular social fraternity on campus. Dardis, in answering Cordaro's protest, said that the committee chairmen were chosen after conferring with several persons including the vice-president of the Council, Don Jansen, several members of the faculty, interested students pn campus and Ken Sills, past-president. Pointing out affiliation of committee chairmen, Cordaro said that six were members of ADG, two of ÜBL and four had no affiliation with any fraternity. "But two of these four are most likely to join the social fraternity now controlling the committee chairmanships," he said. "The Student Council is a government of the whole school and I don't like to see it run by a few cliques," he said. Cordaro said that Dardis is * member of the same group whicfl accused The Maroon of not being objective in its reporting and showing prejudice toward a particular fraternity on campus. He said that he knows either Gerry Rault or Joe Perez are being groomed for president of arts and sciences next year and this is just an attempt to get them in the spotlight. "I just want to go on record as opposing the selection of committee chairmen because they were selected with fraternal prejudices."SC sets 12 appointees Twelve Student Council members were appointed chairmen of committees by Jack Dardis, Council president, at the new Council's first meeting Tuesday night.

Math institute held success "This session of the Loyola Mathematics Institute has been a very great success," the Rev. John F. Keller, S.J., chairman of the department of mathematics, said. The session which meets each Saturday morning on campus from 9 to 12 a.m., has for its primary purpose the further education of junior and senior high school math teachers. According to Father Keller this is an important function since the great mathematical revolution of the past 10 years. This institute serves to familiarize the various teachers with new concepts. But more important it gives them the knowledge of what is expected of college students so as to better prepare their own pupils. This past semester has dealt with general algebraic and geometric structures. It has given the teachers a chance to bone up on such things as Cantors' concept of set theoretic notations and Galoir's group theory. "Anything which we teach is almost 100 years old," said Father Keller, "however these notions have just reached the classroom. This is because almost every change is met with opposition; we are all conservatives at heart, I guess." (Continued on page 2)
