Besides his Sodality work, which carries him all over the United States throughout the school year, this Jesuit priest, lauded as one of the great pianist in America and a wonderful business mind, conducts two conventions in Chicago at the close of each school year. One is a sodality convention of delegates from high school groups of this country and the other is the national meeting of the College Councils.

He has also written a passion play, "Pilate, the Governor," which was recently presented with much success by the Chicago Little Theatre. Loyola is honored in having such an illustrious personage to conduct its annual student retreat. Relief Appeal Is Sent To All College Editors MAROON ISSUES RELIEF LETTERS TO PUBLICATIONS Loyola Paper Appeals to College News Heads To Take Up Unemloyment Relief ADDRESS NEARLY 650 COLLEGE EDITORS It is Believed That Students Could Contribute Nearly Two Million Each Year In letters addressed to college editors throughout the United States, Temple H. Black, Editorin-chief of the Loyola Maroon issued an appeal this week for collegians to join in unemployment relief work now being carried on by local agencies. In the letters Black asked that the college papers of the United States take on the job of helping out the unemployment situation and at the same time vindicate themselves of the charges made against college students in general by Henry N. MacCracken, president of Vassar College when he said: "Students are not people because they do not function as people should. They are not as influential in the management of their colleges and in the control of public opinion." Enclosed with the letter was a press proof of the editorial, A Collegian Does Think, which appeared in the Maroon last week. OPERETTA IN ALGIERS The Glee Club operetta, "Hulda of Holland,' was presented at the Behrman Memorial Theatre in Algiers on the night of March 12th, and was enthusiastically received by the Saturday night theatre goers.

At the bi-monthly meeting of the college council held last Monday, it was unanimously agreed that the meeting at Lafayette was a huge success and that New Orleans had the best representation of any section of the state. Acting upon the suggestion of Father Lyons, that the sodality of the nurses from Mercy hospital lDe admitted into the College Council as a junior college, the Council decided to investigate their sodality and ascertain if they conform to the standard of the other College Sodalities before accepting their application. The rest of the meeting was devoted to the work of the Study Club. Ed Driscoll gave an explanation of the liturgy of the first part of the mass up to the end of the mass of Cathechumans. Paul Barker preceded him with an explanation of the gestures of the priest for that part of the mass. Thursday night the usual business was held in Thomas Hall. The main discussion turned to the retreat to be given by the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., at the beginning of Holy Week. It was decided that the Sodality would undertake the editing of a small sheet to be known as "Retreat Notes," in which the chief features of the lectures will be discussed. The sodality met again Friday morning at their spiritual meeting at 7 a. m., in Thomas Hall Chapel. LIBRARY VOLUMES GIVEN TO BOBET Donated to University by Mrs. Celina C.

With the opening of the meeting, the Rev. Francis L. Janssen, S. J., director of the board gave a statement of the financial standing of the student activities in general, and commented on the fact that despite the great increase in activities this year, the finances were in much better condition than they were in former years. Following this report, he deplored the lack of general student interest in the activities and asked for suggestions for a plan to increase this interest. In the ensuing discussion, it was pointed out that regardless of the lack of student interest the activities were helping to establish the narne of the school and that for this reason, if for no other, they should be continued. The following plan was offered and adopted by the body as a step towards increasing general student interest. One student is to be appointed each week and it will be his duty to visit the various classes and outline the activities for the coming week. Reports of the various groups, on their recent activities and announcements of future plans closed the meeting. William Dardis, vice-president of the board, presided at the meeting in the absence of Paul A. Reising, president.

Lucas Title Comes From Figures on Armorial Crest of the University Perhaps you've sometime wondered why the university annual is entitled the "Wolf," when they could just as well have named it the Tiger, the Lion or some other title, but from ancient history comes a concrete reason for such a title. The ancient house of Loyola, whose son St. Ignatius was the founder of the Jesuit order and after whom Loyola University is named, bears on its armorial crest a deep pot hanging from chain and hook, with two wolves, resting their paws on the rim. LOBO is the Spanish for WOLF and OLLA is the Spanish for POT. The fusion of LOBO and OLLA gives LOYOLA. Hence we must conclude that history and not fancy warrants the title of "The Wolf." It was upon this policy that the staff of the 1924 year book, the first annual publication of Loyola, so named the annual "The Wolf." SCHEDULE OF CLASSES FOR RETREAT MONDAY, MARCH 21.
