Conference Urges Coeds To Act, Apply Quality Of Modern Leaders Loyola coeds were told, "It is better to be a discontented idealist than a disillusioned sceptic," at a recent leadership conference sponsored by Cardinal Key last week. Conducting the conference were Dr. Mary Alice Cannon, dean of women at Marquette university, and Dr. Patricia Rueckel, dean of women from Georgetown university. Attending the conference were women representatives from campus organizations. Almost a hundred women repressenting 27 organizations participated in the two-day conference.Wednesday night Loyola women leaders attended a banquet and lecture given by Dr. Cannon. Dr. Cannon gave a very informal speech pertaining to her idea of what good leadership meant. She applied the quality of leaders to the contemporary situation in the modern world. Dr. Cannon went on to explain that one must be "discontented" in order to accomplish anything nowadays. It is easy to become disillusioned and just be disillusioned, but discontent prompts action. And a leader must act to accomplish his ideals. On Thursday Dr. Rueckel conducted a leadership seminar from 8:30 to 12:30. The seminar was divided into three parts: group case studies and film, dynamics, and role playing.The film illustrated different types of leadership such as autocratic, laissez-faire, and democratic, and showed examples of each type. In group dynamics, the coeds divided into small groups of eight to ten girls and discussed certain problems envolving leadership such as "How to be an effective leader," and "How an organization can fulfill its purpose," along with particular case studies of problems on different campuses. CANNON RUECKEL Marz Elected A&SPrexy Patrick Marz was chosen president of the A&S freshman class in a special runoff election held Nov. 22 and 23. Marz, a native of Bellaine, Texas, defeated Vincent Sachar, 96 votes to 87, in the closest of four run-off elections in A&S. Jules Dervaes became vicepresident by defeating Roger Larue, 117 to 66. Hope Sewell outpolled Susan Schoen, 119 votes to 62, in the run-off for secretary; Steve Colleta, the biggest vote-getter, was elected treasurer over Dennis Butler, 122 votes to 58. All four winners had led in the primary elections held Nov. 15 and 16. The A&S victors now join winners from business administration and Music school to form the 12-man freshman committee, which holds one vote on the Student Council. The committee will then elect its own officers—the president of the freshman committee will also preside as president of the freshman class.

LU Soap Drive Spreads Plea Answered A Vietnam soap drive started by the students at Loyola in response to a former instructor's plea for help, has spread around the state and nation. The drive was formulated when Capt. Ronald Rod formerly of Loyola ROTC and now stationed in Vietnam requested in a letter in the Maroon that soap which is virtually non-existent in Vietnam "could prevent countless boils, infections, and abcesses on these unfortunate children." Responses to Capt. Rod's appeal has spread throughout the state to Baton Rouge, and even farther to Humboldt, Tenn. At Baton Rouge, the appeal letter was reprinted in The Catholic Commentator and was publicized by station WAFB-TV, and within three days 600 to 700 pounds of soap had been brought to the television stain Tennessee, the appeal for soap is being publicized by The Humboldt Courier—Chronicle and the radio station. The ap- sent a reprint of Capt. Rod's letter to a nephew in Humboldt."When you realize people in the world want something as simple as a bar of soap, it makes you stop and think," E. A. Labry said at Humboldt. Labry, a youth director there, has rallied 15 churches of 15 different denominations to collect 10,000 bars of soap, and is very optimistic about the campaign. Here in New Orleans, one storage depot alone has accumulated more than 9,000 bars of soap, almost two tons of clothing, and some hard candy. This is nearly enough to provide one bar of soap for each of the 10,000 refugees in Vietnam's district of Due Pho, where Capt. Rod is civil administratoradministrator to the refugees. In his latest letter Capt. Rod said he has been "bewildered by the response he has gotten so far." Other than the initial response, he has received "additional offers of large supplies of clothing if transporation is available, and a note from a lady who is hopeful of providing transportation for such offers." The cargo must be flown the last 20 miles by helicopter "over enemy territory." Mrs. Carolyn Rod, the captain's wife who lives in Kenner, said she knows her husband will be most grateful not only for the material gifts, but also for all the thoughtfulness that was behind each gift. Mrs. Emmanuel Rod, the captain's mother, said "Your loyalty has renewed the courage of us mothers, wives, and families here, in trying to be as brave and uncomplaining as our loved ones are over there." Viloria Wins Anthony Viloria, evening division student, and Karen Knight, law freshman, were winners in the Great Books of the Western World drawing on November 18 in Danna center.Viloria received a 54-volume set of the works, sponsored by the Great Ideas program of Enclopedia Britannica. It includes a special index of great ideas called the Syntopicon, and an introductory book by Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, former University of Chicago chancellor. Knight received the consolation prize, a ten-volume set of Gateway series of modern authors from Freud to the present. Britannica campus representative Clem Kennington said Great Books the program, "was to acquaint the students with the Great Ideas program and particularly the Great Books series." University students were invited to participate in the drawing by filling out a card and depositing it in a special booth on display in Danna center from November 4-17.

Cardinal Key Council Held Cardinal Key president Dona Mac Donald, and vicepresident Elaine Engler represented Loyola's chapter at the National Cardinal Key convention, Nov. 25-28, at Northeastern Missouri State Teachers college, Kirksville, Missouri. Adoption of a national project, in which each member will either make or purchase two toys to be sent to the national office in Flagstaff, Arizona, for distribution to determined agencies, highlighted the convention. An innovation in the convention, held every two years, was the presence of a national officer from Blue Key Men's Honor society, who attended the various sessions to promote closer affiliation between the two organizations. Dona and Elaine served on committees to revise the bylaws and constitution. Suzanne Sauchier, a '66 music school graduate, and outgoing national secretary accompanied the girls to the convention.Calendar Of Events SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4 Loyola vs Pepperdine College, field house.
