              Volume XI  LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., 1932  Number 9 Maroon DETROIT CLIMAXES LOYOLA SEASON Many NeCw Features Will Be Introduced at Tonight's Party SECOND IN GYM DANCE SERIES IS SET FOR TONIGHT Elaborate Designing of Hall With Colored Lights Planned LOYOLA ORCHESTRA WILL PLAY MUSIC "Loyola Special" At 12 Midnight Will Also Be Featured The students of Loyola University will dance tonight at the second Gym Dance of the current season to the music of the augmented Loyola orchestra under the direction of Dr. Hamil Cupero. The Gym Dance committee, composed of twenty-five of the outstanding students in the university, have been busy with preparations for the affair and indications point to perhaps the most outstanding student event of the year. Several new features will be introduced at the party tonight. Adrien Drouilhet, chairman of the decorations committee, promises a surprise in the way of elaborate designing for the gym. Colored lights together with pennants of all kinds including the exquisite official pennant and insignia of Loyola University are on tap. At the stroke of twelve there will be a Loyola Special, a nobreak dance for Loyola students and their dates. Special lignting effects will feature this part of the program. Music that will surpass anything the Loyola orchestra has done to date may be expected, according to word from Dr. Hamil Cupero, director of the music men. "The boys have been working hard and are now ready for one of their best efforts. Our featured soloists, Heidingsfelder and Manale, are with us again and will be given ample opportunity to display their particular talents," Dr. Cupero stated in an interview today. PRECEDENT WILL ESTABLISH WOLF WIN TOMORROW Titan Victory Will Give Detroit First Win In New Orleans SHAUGHNESSY EXPECTS FULL WOLF STRENGTH Michigan Team Has Whipped Marquette, Villanova and Oregon State The Detroit Titans proudly march upon Loyola stadium tomorrow afternoon with all the dignity, prestige and confidence rightly assumed by a great football team and a record of brilliant conquests, to engage in final combat with the Wolf pack of Loyola of the South. This marks* the sixth annual intersectional clash of the two institutions, the season's final game of ' both teams, and the end of intercollegiate football activities in New Orleans for 1932. ! According to latest reports Dennis Miller will be in condition to play and all other "flu" victims will take their place in tomorrow's line-up. Ancaroni, Lei Smith, Benit, Lopez, Ballatin, Paul Jones, Zaffater and the entire • sick list have been getting into shape in daily practice. From all ; indications, the Wolves will pre; sent a fighting aggregation which [ will be highly capable of turning . back the powerful visitors and cul. minating their season and football careers with a brilliant victory. "Gus" Dorais' Titans are evidently spurred by the same incentive. Nine seniors close their football diary permanently tomorrow, six of whom have been regulars for the past three years. The Titans have an enviable record of major conquests, including victories over Marquette, Oregon State, Villanova and others, and marginal losses to Holy Cross and Michigan State. The Titans are a national figure in football circles and incidentally do not intend to lose any prestige tomorrow when they place their full strength on the field for the first time since the beginning of the season. Sophomores and Frosh In Debate On Subsidizing Annual Hausmann Trophy Race To Open With Argument The annual competition between the Sophomore and Freshmen classes for the Hausmann Trophy will open this year with a debate, scheduled for Friday, December 16, as the first contest. Lawrence Babst, president of the Student Council, announced that the subject chosen is: "Resolved, That athletes participating in inter-collegiate sports should be subsidized."The two classes are urged to select their teams at the earliest possible date in order that they may meet and come to an agreement on definitions of the terms involved in the question and draw lots to determine which side of the question they will defend. 'Flu' Epidemic Hinders Campus Chest Workers Students Urged To Get Donations As Soon As Possible The Community Chest drive at Loyola last week was hindered considerably by the flu epidemic which struck with force at the same time, according to members of the Student Council who were in charge of the collection of contributions from the students. Not one of the classes was fully represented during the drive and interest waned with the intervention of the Thanksgiving holidays. The students are reminded that their contributions, belated through no fault of their own, are still earnestly solicited and they are urged to make their contribution to their student Council representative or to Father Mac Donald's of- i fice at the earliest possible date. It is necessary for Loyola to respond one hundred percent. Get yours in today! Campus Politicians Prep Vote Getting Campaign Machinery When is a student not a student? When he is a politician. When is a student a politician? When the annual Popularity Contest rolls around. And that time is at hand. According to a statement issued by Lawrence Babst, president of the Stuent Council, it has been decided between the Council and the Maroon, who join forces to stage the Popularity Contest every year, to hold the first primary on Tuesday December 6 and the final vlte on Tuesday, December 13. A much earlier date was accepted this year than has been customary in former years in order to make the ensuing material from this activity available for recording in the Loyola Annual, the Wolf. The voting will be carried on in a manner similar to that adopted with much success last year. The polls will be open from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. and each student must vote at the poll specifically reserved for his department. Arts and Science students and the members of the Music School will be accommodated on the ground floor of Marquette Hall, while Bobet Hall will house booths for the use of the Law, Dentistry and Pharmacy students. The Senior Reperesentative of each department has been designated by President Babst as the controlling officer of his respective booth to prevent fraud, violation of the secrecy of the ballot and 'polit:cing' from becoming more than 'words, mere words'. Students will not be required to sign their ballots as they will bs checked off from a roll when they | vote. All students are requested to take active participation in the vote and to co-operate with the officials in running off the election with speed, efficiency and good will. They are urged to vote early and are warned against 'politicing' in the near vicinity of the polls since such actions are in direct violation of the secrecy of the ballot, a natural right of every voter, and i productive of much disorder and ill will. The 'ticket,' usually consisting of seven titles, has been increased to eight this year through the addition of "The Most Representative Co-ed." The complete ballot follows: Popular; Most Intelligent; Most Active; Most Representative Co-ed; Most Handsome; Best Athlete; Best Dressed; and Wittiest. The three leading nominees for each title will be eligible for the run-off on December 19. While nothing definite has been decided upon as 'spoils' for the victorious ones as yet, several appropriate suggestions have been offered and one of them will be accepted probably at the next meeting of the Student Council. Blue Key Meeting Tomorrow at Noon The Loyola Chapter of the Blue Key National Honorary Fraternity will hold a meeting in the publ'cation office in Room 21 of Marquette Hall, Saturday, December 3 at 12:30 p. m. according to an announcement by Felicien Lozes, j President. The meeting is of utmost importance as matters that call for immediate attention will be discussed. The gathering at Loyola w'll supplant the regular monthly luncheon and will be completed in time for the members to see the Loyola-Detroit football ame. All members are urged to be present and on time. HEAD STRATEGY BOARDS Clai'k D. Shaughnessy, left, and "Gus" Dorais, coaches of Loyola and Detroit, respectively, who will match wits in tomorrow's final grid game. Under these two coaches Loyola has never beaten Detroit on its home field and the Titans have not been able to win over the Wolves at Loyola Stadium. Detroit has won three games and Loyola two in the series. Tomorrow is Loyola's opportunity to even the score on the home grounds.

DELEGATES FROM ALL OVER SOUTH CONVENE HERE Formally Opened At Roosevelt Hotel Yesterday Morning MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS SEEK REINSTATEMENT Loyola President Will Rep«- resent Local UniversityThe first delegates to the 37th annual convention of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools 'of the Southern States were greeted Monday by a reception committee composed of the educational leaders of New Orleans, including Rev. J. W. Hynes, president of Loyola University and delegate to the convention. With its formal opening Thursday at the Roosevelt, the convention is expected to draw some 500 delegates from all over the South, some of the delegates arriving in ! the city before the formal opening Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned, But So Did These Frosh By Emile. A. Wagner, Jr. This town may not be so "hot" but you can't prove it by Tom Corridan and Jerry Fitzpatrick, two Freshmen in the Arts and Science department. In fact, they will tell you that if its the weather you're referring to, that few places could possibly be as warm as dear old New Orleans, especially at night. It seems that the tranquility of an early Sunday morning and more particularly the restful slumber of these two ardent students was broken sometime around 4:30 by the discordant sound of fractured glass. Tom was the first to awaken and seeing that Fitz was still fondly clasped in the arms of Morpheus nudged him in the ribs and whispered: "Somebody broke a glass in the apartment; I think we're being robbed," to which Pitz answered: "In that case don't you think it would be wise to go back to sleep"; and this they would have done had not a faint smell of smoke come to the nostrils of the redoubtable Tom. "I think there must be a fire in the neighborhood somewhere," with which he promptly got out of bed and raised a window. "Don't jump cried Fitz, you'll cut your feet on all those broken bottles. But Corridan had no intention of jumping. As he raised the window, he looked down in the yard below, for the apartment was on the second floor, with a garage below, and there he saw a man frantically running up and down. "Hey, where's the fire," Corridan called. The man look as if he were struck dumb, and then when he found his tongue, he screamed," "The parage is on fire, you're standing over it. Jump for your life." But Corridan remembering Fitzj Patrick's council chose another window, with that other worthy following closely on h's heels. He, j without hesitation, jumped and landed squarely on a bicycle, red and white pajamas and all. Undoubtedly Fate deserved the harsh J words that were now bestowed upon her, but remembering Fitz still in the burning building, Tom yelled: "Come on Fitz, jump" To which Fitz replied: "Move the darn thing," referring to the b'cycle. "I'd as soon burn to death, as break my neck." And so there at the foot of the burning building these two "Flaming Youths" stood, one in red and white, and the other in purple and gold and watched the fire to the bitter end. You can't tell them j that there wasn't a hot time in the I old town that night. Central Americans Form Debate Club The Central American students | of Loyola University have organized a debate club, whose object is to hold debates with other Universities of South and Central America. The officers chosen to lead the debate club are: Ruben Moreno, president; Carlos Arrigunaga, vice-President; Frank Martinez, secretary; and George Monasterio, , manager. Senorita Jessie C. Montejo was chosen faculty advisor.

College Students Illegal Watchers At Voting Poll No Action Taken Against Columbia U Undergraduates(By College News Service) New York, December 1.—As many as 25 »f the 100 Columbia University students who were employed as poll watchers on election day were not of legal voting age, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported this week.
