'Head Flaunts ASLU'
Charges A tty Gen.
Editors note — At a meeting of the Student Legislature on
September 15 ASLU President Joe Head vowed to veto all ap¬
propriation requests until the time that the Supreme Court hands[
down a decision on the Head-sponsored tax assessment . The
Loyolan urges that this problem be settled soon. Virtually dll stu¬
dent activities must be brought to a halt until the time that the
yet-to-be appointed Court is in session and the plaintiffs have filed
their suit .
With the spirit of fair play the Loyolan prints the following
letters . The first is from Mr. Head in defense of his tax. David
Roberti, ASLU Attorney General takes somewhat of an un¬
orthodox stand for a man in his position and cites the unconstitu¬
tionality of this particular assessment in the second letter.
Because this tax issue has become such an important and
such a controversial issue , the Loyolan feels compelled to state
its view of the matter. The editorial position is expressed on
page 4.
Ball Follows Brawl
At Hotel Monica
Friday night, September .30, will see the official begin¬
ning of the fall social season with the Annual Brawl Ball.
This will afford the entire ASLU a chance to welcome the
bruised and maligned frosh and give them their first sweet
taste of college life. This year's ball will be staged at the
By JOE HEAD
ASLU President
For the first time in its recent
history the ASLU has taxed its
entire membership. I feel that
there are two questions that must
be answered concerning this tax.
Is there at present a problem that
demands additional funds for the
ASLU treasury? And second, is
taxation the best way and the just
way to meet the crisis?
That the ASLU needs more
money for normal operating ex¬
penses is clear when you look at
last year’s administration. Al¬
though some funds may be saved
by more responsible fiscal politics,
it remains the simple facts that
last year’s legislation needed $970
more than the $4000 they received
from student body fees. The way
they selected to meet their need
was to empty the Student Center
Fund, which brought in $600, and
to leave a debt of $370 at the end
of the semester.
IN ORDER TO carry on just the
same activities as last year, we
would need an additional $1000.
There would be no money for new
and vital projects. I readily admit
that some of the projects of last
year’s administration will not be

ASLU Attorney General
During the registration week,
September 6, through September
8, the president of the ASLU and
the secretary of the ASLU, auth¬
orized the collection of a tax upon
members of the student body. This
tax collection ordered by the pres¬
ident and carried out by the sec¬
retary, was done in accordance
with a law which was passed by
the student legislature on Septem¬
ber 1, 1960. However, it is the
opinion of the Attorney-General
that no such law ever legally ex¬
isted and that the execution of
that law was in fact illegal: My rea¬
sons for this opinion are:
The student legislature did not
comply with Article III, Section V,
paragraph 2 of the ASUL constitu¬
tion, which requires that a bill
must be posted on the ASLU
bulletin board for one week and
read at the preceeding regular
meeting.
THE PRESIDENT of the ASLU
never sufficiently signed the bill
for its adoption. Thus Article III,
Section 6, was not complied with.
Said article demands that in time
of academic adjournment the pres¬
ident must sign the bill or else

to Los Angeles Saturday night at
the Beverly Hilton Hotel, when
screen star Irene Dunne placed a
lei around the neck of William
Francis Quinn, Governor of Ha¬
waii, slated to deliver the principle
address at Loyola’s Inaugural Citi¬
zenship Day Dinner.
ON THE ISLANDS, it’s tradi¬
tional for a lovely woman to so
honor a speaker just before he de¬
livers his remarks. That, plus a
friendly kiss on the check — just
for inspiration.
A Hawaiian motif was carried
throughout the dinner, which was
held in keeping with President
Eisenhower’s proclamation urging
“Federal, State,, and local officials,
as well as all religious, civic, and
educational organizations . . . to
hold appropriate ceremonies on
September 17, a day designed to
