              The Maroon Volume XI LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., MARCH 4, 1933 No. 19 SIX RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY N. C. P. A. Wisconsin is Named to Presidency at Meet Seventh Resolution is Shelved After Impassioned Fight "BEAT" SYSTEM GIVEN AIRING Exchange List Resolution Is Unanimously Accepted Following two days of discussion at Loyola and at Tulane, the general assembly of the New Orleans convention of the National College Press Association added a list of six resolutions to its constitution. These, will be known as the resolutions of the 1933 convention and were drawn up mostly by the Ohio and Loyola chairmen. A seventh resolution based upon the Reed Harris case at Columbia and denouncing "sensationalism on the part of the editor with personal publicity in view" was killed on the convention "flboi tfter an impassioned plea for its death by the Wisconsin delegation. The Daily Cardinal representative deplored "our descent to such denouncement tactics". The six passed resolutions are: 1. Resolved, that the name of each member publication of the National College Press Association be placed on the exchange list of each other member of the association, and the executive secretary at the University of Pittsburgh shall send a list of all member publications to each other member publication. 2. Resolved, that the use of syndicated rotogravure sections in member publications be condemned. 3. Resolved, that the practice on the part of journalism schools, college graduates and newspapermen, who either permit or encourage journalism students and journalism graduates to work without pay on city daily papers, thus replacing bona fide members of the profession, be solemnly condemned. 4. Resolved, that the Tulane-Loyola hosts of this convention be tendered a vote of thanks by the delegates of this convention (we will not expand upon the remainder of this resolution). 5. Resolved, that the National College Press Association tender a vote of confidence to the College Publisher's Representatives. 6. Resolved, that the National College Press Association do hereby demand complete freedom of the college press, and do hereby request all student councils, faculties and other authoritative forces to i-e--frain from interfering with editorial policies so long as these editorial policies remain within the bounds of ordinary decency. Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4 were passed unanimously with the quorum present. At thq, annual election of officers, the Wisconsin Daily Cardinal was elected president and, as is usual, the city of the next convention will be the home city of the paper honored with the presidency. The 1934 convention will be held at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and a tentative date has been set for ThanksgivingNational Convention is a Success Despite Fate Action of Rex and Druids Disappoints Local Crowds TWO UNIVERSITIES FAIL TO ATTEND Dance Orchestra Prescinds From "Color" Music Despite Thomas Hardy's wellknown "concerted opposition of hostile forces", the New Orleans convention of the National College Press Association was unanimously pronounced a success. The "hostile forces", however, were well at work. Two weeks before the convention the civic pride of the Loyola and Tulane leaders was bruised by the worst freeze since 1922, a freeze which ruined our tropic vegetation so that the Vieux Carre courtyards and patios looked as though a seven year's plague had hit them. With the result that the delegates think it is quite natural for palm trees to resemble the hind part of moulting hens. Moreover, they have come all the way to New Orleans without seeing banana trees. It is bad enough not to see bananas, but when even the trees themselves are killed . . . A second set-back occurred the morning of the convention when tl e Vanderbilt delegation wired their last minute inability to attend, and the Columbia delegation failed to show up. At this time, also, it became known that Lyle Saxon (trust these Saxons) would be the only one of the original speakers to speak. All went smoothly, however, and 'he delegation admired our weather (damp and cold to us) and wondered that we had never seen snow down here. The delegates also liked our food and our sluryeFATHER HYNES GRATIFIED WITH RADIO HEARINGS University President Returns From Washington Meet Very Reverend J. W. Hynes, S.

ANNUAL SODALITY CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN WEEK SECOND FLOOR SHOW SUCCESS The Little Broadcast Featured Much Popular Talent "The Little Broadcast," offered in . conjunction with the Gym Dance last Friday night, was enthusiastically acclaimed by all its promoters this week as the most successful in the short history of Loyola-Ursuline floor shows. "Returns from the dance and floor show indicate great success," J. Skelly Wright, chairman of the dance committee, declared.

COMMERCE LECTURE GIVEN Insisting: that the American people must become "Tax Conscious" if they hope to avoid future depressions and by the same means get out of this depression, Fred! Le Laurin, General Agent of the Aetna Life Insurance Co., gave a detailed talk on "Taxation" Friday in Marquette Hall. "When we can get our wives and mothers to realize whether or not they are being taxed fairly, declared Mr. Le Laurin, "then will we be making steps toward fair taxation and consequent good gov- [ ernment." LENT CONCLUDES PHILOSOPHY TALK Father Burke Defines Modern Education in Last Lecture Laying stress on the "immorality'" of modern education in that it excludes the unavoidable fact of the Almighty, Rev. Martin Burke, S. J., head of the philosophy department of Loyola University, concluded his series of philosophy forums in Marquette Hall Sunday night. "The word 'immorality,' " Father Burke pointed out, "is invariably interpreted as pertaining only to habitual drunkeness, obscenity, and the like, whereas it really means the failure to meet obligations not only to the individual, but to meet obligations to God Almighty —to give Him what is rightfully His." "If the individual has certain CONFERENCE SITUATION EXPLAINED! Asked for a statement concerning the failure of Loyola to gain admission to the Southeastern Conference at its meeting in Atlanta this week, Father Doonan remarked: "While the Conference was formed on the idea of restricting membership, still the feeling of the majority of the members of the Conference with whom I talked was that Loyola should be admitted, and in fact that no institution of university standing in the territory covered by the Southeastern Conference should be denied admission if it meets the scholastic and athletic standards. I understand that twelve members of the Conference were present at the voting when the question of Loyola's admission was brought up. On the count it was found that the vote stood six-six, and so the motion was tabled. I feel that if the other member had been present to vote, the vote would have been seven-six and we would have been admitted," Asked if he knew and was at liberty to say how the schools lined up in the voting, Father Doonan said: "I was not present at the discussion as the meeting was an executive one, but I am reliably informed that, with the exception of Tulane University, the universities in our immediate neighborhood supported our cause." Asked if Tulane was the university which did not cast a vote, Father Doonan said: "I understand that their representative was present and voted."
