And the freshmen have had their day. But should they have two days? So the Student Council thinks for last Tuesday, in council assembled, they did decree that henceforth, this year, and in years to come, the freshmen should rule supreme for two consecutive days. Possibly the wrongs done were so great and the wheels of justice ground so slow, that the freshmen petitioned a double day in which to satisfy their passion for vengeance and make sure that all guilty sophomores be punished. Next Thursday and Friday, therefore, the proud and arrogant 'Sophs' will be forced to yield to the fury of the first- year men. For two days the sophomores will run belt-lines and roll eggs and do whatever Dame Fancy dictates to the freshmen. These days will come and these days will go and, though 'kings for a day,' the freshmen will have to return to their yokes and become 'rats' for a few weeks more. Wise are the powers that be and wise is the Student Council to so arrange retribution and re-retribution!So, watch your step, Sophomores, and remember the dates, November 3rd and 4th!

History of Loyola Nag Revealed After All of These Long Years By Earl F. Weggmann For many months—yea, my friends,—for many years there has been one among us—a "co-ed"— whose activities have gone unnoticed, whose praises have gone unsung, and whose accomplishments have gone unheeded. A tall, distinguished "blond" has been active on the campus these eight long years and I doubt if one of the students knows her by name. Her name is Nellie Gray, so I am told. But perhaps I should be a bit more explicit in my description of this creature. As chance would have it, she happens to be a broad, stately mare of the species mustang, eight summers along this weary road of mortal life, a Texas spit-fire in her youthful and frolicsome days, but now just a trifle old and a least bit decrepit. Yes, sir, the old gray mare ain't what she usta was! But old though she may be, she has a history and a store of knowledge greatly envied by other members of her race. Brought over from Texas when but six months old, she was purchased by Loyola University, later sold to a darky by the name of Emile, who is a handy man about the campus SODALITY FORMS NEW MERCY GUILD All Sodalities Will Unite for Charity Work Coming Year A new unit was formed by the I sodalities of New Orleans during the summer, to be known as the Mercy Guild. The purpose of this organization is to continue throughout the year the work of charity among the poor of the city that i the sodality has been in the habit i of doing each year around Christmas time. Formed during the summer j mainly through the activities of James Steiner of the Loyola Sodality, it immediately gained the support of all the college sodalities in the city. It consists of a number of committees, each desig- NIGHT FRAT ELECTS were elected at a meeting recently, the owls naming Charles J.
