Student Court, poses in traditional robes of office.
Justices Appointed
To Student Court
Bill Herreras, in accordance with the authority given to
him in the A.S.L.U. Constitution, has announced the appoint*
ment of five justices for the Student Court. The five appoint¬
ees are: Frank Masse, Joe DiMassa, A1 Raboteau, John Mul¬
ligan, and Manuel Valenzuela ^
To qualify for the position of
justice, candidates had to observe
some newly instituted procedures.
These procedures are the direct
result of changes in the judicial
system of the Constitution as
amended by the student body in
the last election held a month ago.
The first qualification is good aca¬
demic standing. Next the candi¬
date had to obtain 50 signatures
on a petition. He had to be ap¬
proved by the dean of his college;
and finally, and most important,
he had to take a written test on
the A.S.L.U. Constitution and By-
Laws. After all this was done, the
final appointment remained in the
hands of the Student Body Presi¬
dent.
PUBLIC DEFENDER
A few more appointments re¬
main before the Student Court
can function as a working unit.
The five justices have already
elected a Chief Justice, Joe Di¬
Massa, from their number and
need to elect a recording clerk
who will act as secretary and take
down court proceedings. In addi¬
tion, Bill Herreras has to appoint
a public defender. This position
requires the same qualifications as
that of a justice. The public de¬
fender will be available to defend
any students if they have no de¬
fense of their own. The prosecu¬
tor will be the Attorney General,
John Viculin. He will make all
convictions and will handle the
case for the prosecution.
ADMINISTRATION'S BACKING
The Student Court, as author¬
ized by the new amendment to the
Constitution, has the full backing
of the Administration; that is, the
Administration will support the

ing World War II he also

nolly was named academic
vice-president in September,
1949.

Debaters Make Clean Sweep,
View West Point Tournament
Friday and Saturday, the 9th
and 10th, saw Steve Shiffrin and
Tom Woods once again defend
their record against some thirty
teams, this time at the Univer¬
sity of California's booming Santa
Barbara campus. After 6 rounds,
they lost to a team from the Uni¬
versity of Redlands, placing sec¬
ond in the tournament. Despite
this loss they had a higher rating
than anyone else at Santa Bar¬
bara.
CLEAN SWEEP
The previous week, on Satur¬
day the 3rd, two teams attended
the tournament at El Camino Col¬
lege. The teams representing Lo¬
yola were Shiffrin and Woods and
O'Reilly and W a
у
s m a n. Both
teams went 4 rounds, the former
in Upper Division competition and
the latter in Lower Division. Shif¬
frin and Woods won all 4 rounds
against schools from all over the
Southwestern area, taking the
highest rating possible in all
rounds. O'Reilly and Waysman
also won high ratings, but man¬
aged to take only one round.
During the past three tourna¬
ments Shiffrin and Woods have
only lost one round and have a
record of 13 won, 1 lost. Accord¬
ing to Mr. Donnelly, moderator of
the debate team, if these scores
are projected and maintained, they
are almost certain to attend the
national tournament at West
Point. As it is, they are already
sure to attend the Western States
Championship Tournament, which
will be held at the Air Force Aca¬
demy in Colorado.
The next tournament will be
held by the Western Speech As¬
sociation at San Fernando Valley
State College on November 22, 23,
and 24.
