The new leader of the Class of — - - 1 — — — — - — — . — — — — — ’64 defeated opponent Moffitt last Friday in a special run-off election. DuRoss received 103 votes to the 87 votes tallied by Moffitt. DuROSS AND Moffitt won the right to oppose each other in the run-off by outclassing Ed Coury and John McAleavey on last Wed¬ nesday. Neither candidate received a ma¬ jority at that time, so the cam¬ paignless run-off was staged on Fri¬ day as provided in the election reg¬ ulations. On Wednesday DuRoss polled 113 votesr Moffitt 65. Coury car¬ ried 58 ballots at that time, while McAleavey was low man with nine votes. JIM MAECHLING defeated Tony Clark, 138 to 103 in a two- way race for the V ice-Presidency on Wednesday. No run-off was nec¬ essary. Ken Meany closed the margin, and went a h ead to defeat Pat Lynch by a 126-63 vote in Friday’s run-off for Secretary-Treasurer. The most wide open race, it saw seven men compete for the post. The top two vote getters in Wed¬ nesday’s election earned the Friday run-off. ON WEDNESDAY Lynch was ahead with 58 votes, trailed closely by Meany with 55, and John Guilti- nan, who narrowly missed facing Lynch, with 53 votes. Other contenders were Bill Mor¬ ris who tallied 37 votes, Gil Acosta who received 30 and Roger Giles who mustered 11. Larry Berrie withdrew from the field.

The team was selected by representa¬ tives of the eight teams entered in mural competition. Intramural Di¬ rector Tom Bouchard directed the selection. A gala program has been plan¬ ned including a picnic sponsored by all the sororities on the Bruin Campus. Festivities are scheduled to start at 12 noon with the sorority picnic. One girl and one box lunch will be provided to each holder of an admission ticket. Game time has been set for 2:30 on the Spaulding Field sight, situ¬ ated on the eastern side of the UCLA campus. Tickets are now on sale in the campus bookstore. They may also be purchased from one of Loyola’s fraternity presi¬ dents. The cost of a Ducat is 75 cents, that is if they are purchased on the Loyola campus, but if the buyer obtains his ticket at the game the price jumps a quarter. The proceeds of all tickets sold at the bookstore will go to Loyola. Over four thousand rooters are expected to attend the annual encounter between the two teams. Last' the Lions completely dominated the action, walking away fith an easy 18-0 win and claiming the National Tag Football Championship. The trophy will be retired by the victor of this year’s match be¬ cause a new series is to be in¬ augurated in 1961. . The game played is nine man touch football and is played on a regulation 100 yard field, with five 20 yard first down zones. The game will be played in four 10 min¬ ute quarters as opposed to last year 25 play a half method. The combined Loyola and UCLA Belles will present the trophy to the victorious team after the game. These girls will also be available to share in the many post-game celebrations. Intramural Director Bouchard also announced that competition is being planned with UCLA in other sports, namely basketball and soft- ball. Plans are now being made to schedule games with similar teams of other local Universities in the Southern California area. If these games are to materialize student support must be exhibited at this contest. By a vote of 12 to five the ASLU Legislature finally settled the ques¬ tion of the two dollars tax assess¬ ment. They passed the second sec¬ tion of bill 1960-61-5 which de¬ clared that each student be as¬ sessed two dollars, except for new students, who shall be assessed one dollar. ALL THE MONEY previously collected by the repealed tax bill of Sept. 1, 1960, was considered to be used to pay this assessment. In other action by the legisla¬ ture John Cuneen was appointed public defender, to handle the large number of traffic violations which are, being appealed to the Student Court. Dave Roberti was commissioned to write a new Con¬ stitution, and Secretary Ben Aranda is in charge of a new sys¬ tem of filing to be adopted by the ASLU office. IN THE LAST-MINUTE action a $500 appropriation for Homecom¬ ing expenses submitted by Chair¬ man Pete Kruse was approved by both the Appropriations Commit¬ tee and the Legislature. It came after Kruse submitted a 12-page preliminary report of Homecoming Expenses and Income.
