IMPOTENCE Council's Suspension Power SLEEP An item of perhaps more than passing interest for St. Peter's club presidents and activities moderators popped up in the campus I Tl l news last week. It concerns a recent decision by Father Clark that the Student Council has the power of suspension over school activities. This power arises naturally out of the fact that since the council gives these clubs the right to exist, it also has the power JUNE to take that right away, for a just cause. The only instance of a By Faber and Lynch "just cause" so far encountered is the failure of an organization to clear a date with the council. This is where the interest for club There are so many people getting presidents and moderators comes in. From now on, failure to married around the place that we clear a date for use of school facilities with the council will result were afraid we would wind up social in suspension of the offending activity.

The Petreans have been unable to get on the right side of the re­ curring 14-13 score since 1949 when the first such record was posted. In this most recent encounter with the Manhattan school, St. Peter's jumped off to a 6-3 lead in the first bout. But the rallying Yeshivans came back strong, tying the score at 12-12. Not to be denied, they went on to score two more for the winning total of 14. Peter's came through on the last bout to insure a final static score of 14-13. The individual scoring of the match, held at Yeshiva University, saw Aiello, Quigley and Goetz gather two for three in foil and Franey win two of three in epee.
