The band will be under the direction of the new officers elected last week. John F. Connolly, saxophonist of the Connolly Trio, winners of the WWL artists' popularity contest last summer, and charter member of the Chi Delta musical fraternity, was elected president. Connolly has been a member of the band for the past three years. Other officers elected were: Leo B. Blessing, vice-president; Charles Mary, secretary; Dudley Cowan, treasurer; and Alexander Cavell, librarian. Charles Mary, drum major of last year, will be back again to lead the musicians in the marches. Mary is grand-master of the Psi Omega, national dental fraternity, and has been a mainstay of the band for the past two years. Professor Michael Cupero is again director and his son Dr. Hamil Cupero will assist him at his work. Band members who remember the St. Louis trip two years ago are expecting a great time. The organization has been rehearsing daily for the past two weeks under the direction of Professor Michael Cupero, and now ranks with the best in this section. Drills are being held under the direction of Ensign Reed McCullough Baird Adams, faculty representative of the United States Navy at Loyola and graduate of Annapolis. Ensign Adams has been training the musicians in military formations and they are planning a splurge for the Houstonites. Charley Mary, drum major, will appear in a new red and gold uniform as he does the goose-step across the Rice gridiron. SIGMA ALPHA KAPPA ENTERTAINS Sigma Alpha Kappa has been entertaining its members and rushees and their dates with a round of yachting parties and gatherings at the homes of various members since the beginning of the rushing activities. Because of the extension of the rushing deadline innumerable parties are planned which will add to the success of an already successful season.LOPEZ WILL LEAD WOLVES SATURDAY Rice Game Expected To Furnish Many Thrills for Fans Led by Captain Arnaud Lopez, veteran fullback of the Loyola Maroons, a blood-thirsty pack of Wolves are loosed against the Owls of Rice University it Houston, Texas, tonight, lurking with the malignant silence of the underdog and spurred by the inspiring spirit to overcome odds and retrieve its prestige of a week ago. The Wolves are equipped with almost three teams of man-power, sharpened to a keen fighting edge by a week of concentrated practice, and prepared to engage with any offense—speed, air or power, strategy, that will down the Owls. With high hopes and well founded confidence, the locals are ready to meet the conquerors of S. M. U., and L. S. U. in what promises to be the outstanding number on the pack's 1932 program. From all indications Shaughnessy will start Tullos, Ballatin, Favalora, F. Sullivan, L. Smith, Ancaroni, Carey, Seeber, Zeldon, Love and A. Lopez. Coach Shaughnessy has been developing many men for relief purposes, and Miller, Berner, Majoue, Booth, Wheeler, Brown, Sullivan, Winters, P. Jones, C. Smith, Benit, Sarpy or Caillouet will be called upon for relief purposes, or for last minute changes in the starting line-up. ASSOCIATION DEFINES WORD "SUBSIDIZED" (By College News Service) Dallas, Oct. 6.—An athlete who works at a job which pays more than he could "reasonably" be expected to earn during the school year will be classed as "subsidized," according to a recommendation adopted last week by the Association of Texas Colleges. In connection with the subject of "subsidization," the association will also class as improper actions the following: Delegation of an athletic coach as a canvasser for prospective student athletes; offers of jobs to potential college athletes; offers of free tuition or scholarships to such athletes, with certain exceptions. As a result of the adoption of these rulings, recommended by Dr. D. A. Penick, of the University of Texas, students employed for campus work hereafter will be paid by the hour.

The formulation of plans for the popular Houston trip where Loyola engages Rice on the gridiron October 15, was the subsequent major topic.

PSI OMEGA FRAT OPENS NEW HOME Members of the Delta Omega chapter of the Psi Omega, national dental fraternity, entertained at a "housewarming" party on Sunday, September 25, formally opening their new house on Calhoun street near Hurst. Guests from college and professional circles poured in a constant stream all day to see the first house to be opened by a professional fraternity at Loyola. The house, which is among the finest on the Loyola campus, is the result of the efforts of Charles Mary, grand master of the fraternity, who was the dominant factor in securing the house for the dental group. The house is decorated in Maroon and Gold, the colors of Loyola. The fraternity banner in blue and white colors adorn one of the walls in the parlor. The house contains accommodations for approximately ten members. It is also arranged so that the rooms can be opened into one another for dances and parties. Grand Master Mary and Lawrence Cazes, house manager, stated that several hundred guests attended the housewarming.

Miss Scott holds the office of treasurer and is instructor of piano as well as the dean of the school of music which is a division of the College of Music of which Dr. Earnest Sehuyten is dean. ANNUAL RAT WAR BEGUN Sophomores Warm Belts In Enthusiastic Prepar-, ation Freshman initiation! "Rats" beware!The sophomores started the three months of belt lines, eggrolling and what-not with a meeting of the freshrrien at twelve o'clock noon on Wednesday, September 21, in Marquette Auditorium. Charles Bailey, who is now sophomore president, and Charles Genard officiated as masters of ceremonies. The meeting was characterized by a speech from "Rat" Vincent in which he addressed the upper classmen in very respectful tones, (which proves he's not so dumb), and a rendition of "Minnie the Moocher" by "Rat" Strychman. These were the only two called on to demonstrate their oratorical and vocal prowess before the audience. Vincent was the first to be named and when he stepped upon the stage Mr. Bailey demanded: "What's your name, freshman?" "Vincent," replied the innocent victim. "What!" bellowed the sophs in unison, with frowns of disapproval. Seeing the error of his way, he replied: "Rat Vincent," with emphasis on the "rat," (this lowly epitaph being a compulsory prefix to a freshman's name). After .Vincent's ordeal was over, Strychman "hi-de-hied" his way amid shouts of laughter to a burst of applause by both upper and lower classmen. The sophomores then withdrew to a nearby classroomGLEE CLUB WILL MEET SEMI-WEEKLY The Glee Club held its second business meeting of the year in the Maroon office last Tuesday. Thursday was the day decided upon for the regular weekly practices with the new director, Dr. Schuyten. On Mondays and Tuesdays, from 12:30 to 1 p. m. practice will be held for the different parts. The final tryouts for entrance to the club were held in the auditorium Wednesday at noon. The names of those accepted will be announced in the next issue of the Maroon. WOLF TRAIN LEAVES TONIGHT STUDENTS PLAN GREAT PARTY ON TRAIN TONIGHT Four Hundred Rooters Will Leave for Game in Houston BAND WILL PLAY HOT TUNES OFTEN Big Rat Parade Will Be Staged in Texas City "It's going to be some party." That's the opinion of the 400 students and alumni of Loyola who tonight will board the Southern Pacific special for Houston for the Loyola-Rice football game tomorrow."Sure, I wouldn't miss the trip for anything in the world," was the general answer to the inquiring reporter's question of "Are you going to the Rice game?" And they are going to be on the special en masse. Everyone from the president of the Student Council, Lawrence Babst, to the lowliest freshman will be there. The Round trip rate is only $3.00 and the ticket for the game if purchased in advance at Loyola is only forty cents. Many of the campus organizations will be there in a body to support the Wolfpack. Alice Morvant, president of the L. A. S. C., reports that her organization has chartered an entire tourist car. Coeds in the pharmacy, night, and the music schools will also lend feminine interest, and incidentally show the Houstonites some of New Orleans' pulchritude. Then, here comes the band, 55 strong, probably the most important organization on the special. John Connolly and Charley Mary, heads of the band, promise that the musicians have pledged themselves to keep the party awake with some of their hot music. A big parade down Main street in Houston is scheduled for the forenoon. Freshies on the trip will be required to bring pajamas to show the Texans just what a Loyola "rat" parade looks like. After the game many parties are planned, before Ijhe special leaves at 11:30 p. m. There is talk of a dance on the Houston campus for the band. The Rice chapter of Psi Omega will entertain members of the local group during their stay. The team has been hard at work all week and according to reports from various players are going to fight to redeem themselves for last week's defeat. Rice, with one of the strongest teams in the Southwest conference, should prove a fitting opponent for a fighting Wolfpack. It's going to be a great game with all the color CHI DELTA TO MEET Chi Delta, musical fraternity, will hold a meeting Thursday, October 20, 1932, in the band room. Every member is urged to be there as election of officers for the coming year will be held. » 6*VMV ft"""-  (Continued on page 4) (Continued on page 4) (Continued on page 4) 'RECK RICE NOTICE Student picture! for the Annual will be taken this week in the Publication Office (Room 21), Marquette Hall, from 9 ■. m. to 5 p. m., daily.
