Two Vie For Top Post By BRENDA ACOSTA Perez-Dupont The Perez-Dupont platform is such: "I have advocated in the past and continue to advocate the financial autonomy of the Student Union," said Perez. "When this matter was discussed at great length at a recent council meeting, I advocated the approval of the amendment submitted by the Union which would have provided for this autonomy and voted in favor of it. This amendment, however, did not pass the Council," he added. "As an alternative, a compromise proposal worked out by Union and Council members in committee sessions, and acceptable to both groups, was submitted to the Council and approved by it. This compromise decision provided for discussion by the Council of any major financial decision of the Union, and referral to committee of the issue by majority vote of the Council." Perez continued, "This committee is to be composed of three members of the Union, three members of the Council, plus the president of the Union sitting as chairman and voting in case of a tie." He concluded, "This measure has the support and approval of the Union members, and there are actually those who now believe that this is a better method than the complete autonomy before advocated." The Perez-D upon t ticket pledges the continuation and expansion of the existing Student Council programs such as the Distinguished Lecture Series, the Art Film and Homecoming Activities; the continued subsidy of intramural.s, the formation of a dormitory residence council to coordinate activities between the men's and women's dorms; and the instalation of sandwich machines for Biever Hall and the new girls' dorm. Perez is a member of Upsilon Beta Lambda social fraternity and is presently vice-president of the Student Council and a graduate of the college of business administration. Dupont is sophomore representative to the Student Council, treasurer of E. D. White Debating Society and was recently in charge of the high-school debate tournament held here. William Miles, A&S junior and Robert Perez, law school junior, will vie for the position of Stuu dent Council president with John Fitzmorris, law freshman and Bob Dupont, A&S sophomore running with Miles and Perez respectively for the vice-presidency. Presidential and vice-presidential elections will be held this Thursday and Friday. Miles-Fitzmorris The Miles-Fitzmorris platform has as its main points Student Union autonomy, the return of Hell Week, a niteschool book exchange, re-writing those parts of the Council constitution which are ludicrous, and more work scholarships for the library. "Since the Student Council is basically a body politic and the Student Union is, by it's nature, set up to provide entertainment for the students, and these two functions are in all aspects dissimilar, the Student Union should reserve the right to provide any and all jurisdiction in the field of entertainment," said Miles. "If, out of necessity, or through its own accord, the Student Union sees fit to ask the Student Council to enter into conjunction with them," he added, "the Student Council, as a result of the poll of the Council members, can do so. This right of invitation however, shall be reserved by the Student Union." The platform calls for the charter of the football club to be renewed with the distinct possibility of two, perhaps three, more games next year. "Money raising events shall be encouraged to facilitate both travel and equipment expenses," said Miles. The ticket also proposes to see that the library stays open till 11 p.m., this being mostly for the benefit of the night school, and the possibility of setting up a memorial scholarship fund for the late Captain Ronald F. Rod. The Miles-Fitzmorris platform further calls for a better freshman orientation, and the presenting of an award by the Student Council in the name of Spiritus to the group of students or organization showing the most school spirit. Miles is past vice-president of Sigma Alpha Kappa social fraternity, former sports editor of the Maroon, and ran for office during his freshman year. Fitzmorris is a member of Beggars social fraternity, and was a College Bowl team member.PEREZ DUPONT MILES FITZMORRIS Candidates Debate The two candidate* for the Student Council presidency faced each other Wednesday in a question and answer session with the general student body. Miles stated that he thought the lack of cooperation among organizations and the lack of unity between the Student Council and the student body as the two main problems facing the coming Student Council. Miles cited the relation of the council and the Student Union as the prime example of the lack of cooperation. He charged that each delved into the affairs of the other. He spoke of forming a committee consisting of one member from each campus organization which would serve to offer suggestions to the Student Council- Perez countered with the thought that such a committee would be unfeasable because of its size. Perez contended that integrity in the student government in its relation with the administration should be considered the major trouble spot for the Council. Perez used the present Council as an example in the regard. He termed the present SC successful in its relation with the university. Perez promised expansion of the present programs of the Student Council. Dentists Hold Spring Clinic Dentists prominent in the fields of prosthodontics and endodontics were featured speakers Saturday at the school of dentistry's annual spring clinic held at the Fontainebleau Motor Hotel. Dr. Robert B. Lytle, chairman of the department of prosthodontics at Georgetown University's School of Dentistry, opened the event with a discussion of "Vertical Relation of Occlusion by the Patient's Neuro-Muscular Perception."Prosthodontics deals with the replacement of natural by artificial teeth. Dr. Lythle emphasized, "111-fitting dentures can abuse and destroy the structures of the mouth that support dentures." He cautioned against "do-it-yourself" prosthodontics", and urged denture wearers to rely on their dentists for proper fitting. When a patient applies "reliners" purchased at the drugstore, it can cause irritation to he tissues of the mouth, he said. "It is well-known that chronic irritations may cause cancer," he said. In hll talk to the alumni and students, Dr. Lytle piesentedpiesented a practical technique for restoring the proper vertical dimension of the dental wearer's face by using his "Neuromuscular perceptions," Earlier in the clinic, Dr. F.T. Wais, chairman of the department of endodontics at North western University's school of dentistry, Chicago, 111., spoke on the "Common Pitfalls Encountered in the Practice of Endodontics and Methods of Avoiding Them." Endodontics involves infection of the nerve and blood vessels in the pulp of the tooth. He said that more and more people are attempting now to keep teeth rather than have them extracted. If tooth pulp is physically injured, or damaged by decay, the tooth may be saved by simply removing the pulp and replacing it with a filling material, he said. "Most teeth can be saved in the right hands," he said. Dr. Franci L. Miranda, Jr., chairman of the department of pedodontics at Loyola's School of Dentistry, discussed the progress of the dental school at the noon luncheon. In the afternoon, students presented table clinics. The New Orleans Dental Association also held a business meeting.meeting. A reception and cocktail party for all clinic participants followed. Approximately 600 dentists and dental students in the area attended.

Music Dept Awarded Two Grants The Edward G. Schlieder Educational Foundation has awarded a matching grant of $5,000 to Loyola university's music therapy program. The grant stipulates that the matching funds of $18,500 must be obtained from sources outside Loyola. Of the needed amount, $5,- 079 was awarded by the Libby- Dufour Foundation in another grant to the program, Michael J. Carubba, dean of the college of music, announced. Durel Black, president of the Music Therapy Fund, is seeking to obtain the additional $13,500 from individuals in the New Orleans area. "If 1,350 people are interested enough in mental health to join the fund, we will reach our goal and also have a broad base of community support," Black said. The funds would be used to acquire another full-time professor, a secretary, some research assistance and musical equipment used in the training of music therapists. The State Department of Hospitals has awarded 12 stipends to music therapy students going into clinical training. These stipends for the first year total $14,400. The agency has also approved a request by the Music Therapy Fund which will allow Loyola's music therapy department to give a series of lectures on closed-circuit television to hospitals, institutions and universities throughout the state. Prior to 1965, Loyola's music therapy students had to do their clinical training in Indiana, California and other states. Beginning in 1965, the students have been able to do their post-graduate work in Louisiana hospitals.
