Martin Burke, S. J., head of Loyola's philosophy department, in a discussion of domestic society, at the weekly philosophy forum last Sunday night in Marquette auditorium. "The primary purpose of the family is the good of the children and not the pleasure or happiness of the parents," stated Father Burke, "and only upon consideration of this fundamental fact can we ever hope to obtain a solution for the many evils resulting from the widespread practice of easy divorce." Marriage and education have become a problem simply because of a misunderstanding of this purpose, and modern theories on these institutions We wrong in this very assumption, explained Father Burke. The Loyola College of Music string ensemble, under the direction of Dean Ernest E. Schuyten, played several selections between the discussions. The program was broadcast over the university station, WWL, with Arthur Sharon acting as master of fceremonies. 2nd Floor Show Is Cast By M. C.

"Will The Orchestra Kindly Play To A Glowworm'?" By John Nugent "Is Lady Spring here to stay, or is she merely flaunting her coquettish self before the hopeful gaze of a long-suffering South as a preliminary showing of her wondrous attributes?" Whether these signs be genuine, or whether those sweet zephyrs from the Gulf of Mexico are mere fabrications of that aforesaid Lady, students of this campus have accepted them as real, and have all come out of their respective shells which the unreasonable chill of the last two weeks has necessitated. So it is that from the sunny verandas of the various ranches to the equally sunny benches surrounding the handball courts, a scene of utter tranquility prevails. Not unmindful of having just completed exams, and strongly influenced by the gentle touch of spring, the intense consciousness of a severe spiritual inquest has moved Loyola U. at large to the consideration of this timely advice: "Rest for the weary, Peace to the soul." AU REVOIR CLARK D. SHAUGHNESSY, who leaves Loyola to fill the position of head coach at the University of Chicago. He has been grid mentor at Loyola since 1927.

(By College News Service) Omaha, Neb., Feb. 16.—Moderate smoking tends to make a student more composed and aids him to concentrate on his work, Dr. Thomas L. Houlton of the Creighton University medical school edclared this week. A special test conducted at the university showed that smokers, considered as a group, were better-scholars than non-smokers, he said. NEGATIVE DEBATERS WIN ON DEBT QUESTION Arguing that "The United States should agree to the cancellation of the Inter-Allied War Debts," William K. Hamilton and Stephen Rodi won a decision over the negative defenders of this question, John Schilleci and Samuel McNeely, in a regular meeting of the Loyola Debating Society Monday night in Marquette Hall. The winning team stressed the evil effects on World Peace prolongation of the debts would bring, and pointed out the difference of money values now and at the time the loans were made. The losing team based their arguments chiefly on a contention that the European nations are able to pay, illustrating their arguments by examples of Europe's armament expenditures. Father Lord Cites The Downfall of Campus Whoopee Making By C. Paul Barker "The college boy does not make as much 'whoopee' as he did in the past," Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S. J., national sodality organizer who is here to give the students their retreat, told this reporter in an interview Tuesday night. "Curtailed spending accounts have taught them how to enjoy more simple entertainments." Father Loi'd, who spends most of his time traveling around the country meeting the youth of America on their stamping grounds in the schools and colleges, stated that this .depression has been both good and harmful to the present day youth. Good because with less money to spend they give more time to study. And harmful to those who leaving school and finding no work are thrown into habits of laziness. Durig the course of the interview he touched on all of the important questions facing the nation today. "Technocracy," he said, "is fundamentally right, but at the present moment is nothing more than a theory. If it were to be put into practice it would most probably be so altered as to lose all form and semblance of technocracy.THREE ONE ACT PLAYS ANNOUNCED BY SPANISH CLUB "A la luz de la Luna" and Others Are To Be Included THREE CASTS ARE ANNOUNCED Directors Named in Nobel Prize Winning Play The annual Spanish Plays, which have been outstanding in theatrical activities since 1921, will again attract the attention of those interested in these plays in the near future.

The plays that will be given are: The first one will be "A La Luz de La Luna" a short play by the Quintero Bros, who together were winners of the Nobel Prize.

The i A GRAND IDEA FOR OUR NEXT EXAMS (By College News Service) Pittsburgh, Feb. 16.—Math students at Carnegie Tech this week were telling this one to prove that science is unbeatable: A fellow student, who is also a radio amateur, was having difficulty with a calculous problem. He, therefore, sent out an appeal via the ether and in practically no time got a correct solution via short waves and the dot-and-dash system. It seems that a University of Texas student in Austin also was operating his amateur radio transmitter that night. STUDENT RETREAT ENDS TOMORROW Origin, Purpose, and End of Life Is Discussed by Lecturer The annual students' retreat which has been under the direction of the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S.
