              The Loyola Maroon Vol. XXXIX Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, December 14, 1962 No. 10 Council Nixes Human Rights Bill in Hot Debate By BILL MURPHY pus. She stated that eventually it would be presented to all the universities in the area for their approval.Said Miss Gibson, "The purpose of our action is to form a united front within the universities of the New Orleans area, in order to fight the present injustices now going on in the state." • DISCUSSION After the Manifesto was distributed to the members, discussion followed as to whether the bill should be presented as it was. It was recommended that the motion be tabled, but it was defeated. This was followed by a motion to approve discussion of it, without referring the bill to the Outside Issues committee. This motion was seconded and carried. During the following discussion, it was moved that certain sections such as "denial of sufferage" and In a heavily debated and confused two-hour meeting of the Student Council Tuesday, the Loyola Students Democratic Association's "Manifesto on Human Rights" failed to receive Council approval by a vote of 15 to two, with one abstaining.Doris Gibson, A&S senior, presented the resolution calling for the recognition of human rights. She stated that all the principles contained within it were band on the "American Creed" and our beliefs as Catholics and Christians. Miss Gibson stated that the Manifesto was presented to the Student Council because it had originated there, and that it was intended to represent the voice of student opinion on the Loyola cam"mostcam"most serious current interference of the right to vote" be amended; these motions failed. During the discussion Gerald Rault had moved that the Council issue a statement in favor of The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, The Constitution and Catholicism. This motion was also defeated. After much heated discussion between Council members and Miss Gibson, the motion for adoption of the Manifesto on Human Rights was defeated. Following the action taken by the Council, Miss Gibson was again allowed to address them. In a prepared speech, written in the event that the motion failed to carry, she stated: • STATEMENT "Tonight, while watching this meeting, I have had many of the previously-heard criticism of the Student Council running through my mind. Outstanding among these are the charges that the Council is party-controlled. Others include that the Council is afraid to consider any other issues or ideas other than those domestic to the Loyola campus. You surely are not naive as to think that the charges voiced in this manifesto are not true, nor am I naive as to believe that you really doubt them. I consider your actions based on personal prejudices. I asked you to disregard these prejudices and to vote as upholders of your Catholic religion and that for which it stands, and those principles voiced in the American creed. You give word support to these things, but when it comes time to apply them practically, you withdraw that support. I would like to go on record as making these statements both to you and to The Maroon. I consider your action tonight as shameful and cowardly." After Miss Gibson's statements, it was moved that her comments be stricken from the records. After much discussion and an adjournment to one of the unoccupied classrooms on the second floor of Marquette hall, the motion failed to carry by a vote of 16 to two. The meeting adjourned at 7:43 p.m. • OPPOSITION Following the adjournment Jack Dardis, Student Council president, was interviewed on his stand on the proposal: "Perhaps if the Manifesto had been presented sooner," said Dardis, "the outside issues committee could have recommended changes which would have eliminated most of the useless discussion tonight.

Upsilon Beta Lambda and Alpha Delta Gamma tied for first place in the skit competition with ÜBL's hilarious interpretations of the discovery of America entitled "It's a Round, Round World" and ADG's satire on the ever popular fairytale, "Cinderella," presented as "Archie." • "UN BEL DI" Taking; second place honors were Ruth Falcon, A&S junior, who sang "Un Bel Di" from "Madame Butterfly," in individual tompetition; the Heidelberg 8'& presentation of German music complete with beer tavern, in group competition; SAK went to the land of the cannibals in their "Peace Corps Ballet," in the skit division. • ANNIVERSARY A special 25th anniversary pageant, narrated by Dr. John G.

Their theme, "Bowl the Badgers," depicted a huge wolf knocking down the Badgers who were represented as bowling pins. A nearby sign said, "Strike the Badgers and Spare None." Creative "masterpieces" decorated the front of the fieldhouse, Cummings hall and the music school. Animation played a large part in many decorations. Beggars and Theta Phi Alpha salvaged a junked conveyor belt to give life to the downfall of the Badgers, who were stabbed with a bloody pitchfork by a mechanical wolf. Sigma Alpha Kappa and Kappa Beta Gamma intended to blast the Badgers with a tall lanky wolf who exemplified the average long arm and leg of Wolfpaek member. Upsilon Beta Lambda and Sigma Sigma Sigma joined forces to produce a huge "L" and a baffled basketball shaped Badger being ejected from an animated cannon.

Rooney, 5.., president of the Jesuit Educational association, was the principal speaker. The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., university president, gave his annual report to the alumni.
