Luis de Careaga, Consul of Spain, Senor D. Oscar Vasquez, Consul of Peru, Senor D. Juan B. de Arrigunaga, and Miss Isabel Snyder. The chairman for the debate was Rosemary Monteleone. The Spanish Consul, Senor D. Luis de Careaga, was introduced by Professor Harry T. Fledderman and, acting as speaker for the judges, awarded the decision to the Ursuline College team. In a short talk he declared that these students had learned more Spanish since October than he had learned English since he had been in this country. NEW GRID COACH IS WELCOMED BY CHEERING STUDES Father Hyn e s Introduces "Doc" and Declares Satisfaction FATHER GREELEY IS MASTER OF CEREMONIES New Mentor Promises a Good Team to "Loyal Sons" Accompanied hy rousing cheers and the battle songs of the Wolfpack, Robert H. "Doc" Erskine, newly appointed head coach at Loyola of the South, was officially welcomed by the student body Tuesday morning in Marquette Auditorium. Rev. James A. Greeley, S. J., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences as master of ceremonies, introduced the Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., of Jesuit High School, who expressed the sentiment of that institution as "wholeheartedly and entirely backers of Loyola." The director of athletics, Rev. J. B. Doonan, S. J., and "Tad" Gormley, Wolf pack trainer, both urged the one hundred per cent support of the student body, promising' that the team would respond in equal fashion. Coach Erskine was then introduced by the Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., president of Loyola, who declared that the new coach was the unanimous choice of Loyola and New Orleans. "Doc" promised a championship team with the support of the "Loyal sons of Loyola." "Weight and a full uniform are not the main requisites for a good team," the new grid mentor declared. "What we need is real student support with which any ordinary coach and any ordinary team can 'go places and do things'." At the request of the president, the cheerleaders closed the meeting by confirming their spirit of welcome with "nine rahs for 'Doc'!'* MONEY ERGS DECLARED "CUTE" (By College News Service) Minneapolis, Mnrch 24.—Howard Scott, Technocracy's head man, this week came down to earth and forgot his technical language long enough to describe one of his theories in terms which no freshman or other student at the University of Minnesota could mistake. Speaking of the proposal to turn money into ergs, make men work only 135 days per year and retire to a life of leisure at 45, he said: Most Dangerous Game—Exams; Classes Face Third Term Hurdles By Margaret Gibbons Burke The Weismullers, the Hagens, the Babe Ruths, the Toppinos, the | Earle Sandes, the Tildens, the j Hitchcocks may have a sneaking | suspicion that theirs is the most j dangerous game, but they are [ mistaken. Their hurdles are clearly marked out and definite. Tips, such as "look out for So-and-So, he's a dark horse"; "Smith made it in 60 yesterday," "Sutter is a formidable foe," put them on! their guard. But pity the poor college man who, in a daze of dates (don't get him wrong) and data must separate fact from the too evident fiction of his own imagination and give a valid reason for William the Conqueror's marrying a tanner's daughter. Some bright (?) young chap might say "because he knew she would be true to the las£," but that would scarcely satisfy the rather erudite de- I mpnds of a pro# i.«*or. The whole system of examin! ing is wrong, at least from the viewpoint of those examined. Who is at his best after a night of cramming? That training hardly puts him in condition for a bout with irregular verbs or the mysteries of Epistemology. Eyeopeners, at any rate, should be served at intervals if the powers i that be hope to get a paper on "The Origin of Whoopee and Is |It on the Increase?" Then, too, couches should be furnished for those too tired to sit up and take notice. It is too much to expect weary wooers of Cicero's letters i to write a snappy comeback to," "Was Cicero a Wet or a Dry?" ; All they know is what they read in the newspapers and that there should be a ban on examinations j scheduled for the wee sma' hour ! of 9 a. m. (ante miseram). Imagine the mental attitude of 1 a freshman who has to face Latin, ! French, history, English, sociology, and chemistry during the sorry course of these awful days. His is the dangerous position of I one who knows six card tricks, [ not too well, and attempts to do all six in rapid succession. His INTRAMURAL HAND BALL TOURNAMENT WILL OPEN SOON Student Council Will Sponsor Annual Court Tourney According to an announcement by the Loyola Student Council, the annual intra-mural handball tournament will be held_this year the week of April 3. The first round will begin on April 3, and the Student Council expects the finals to be held on April 12. Entry applications will be received by Student Council members from March 21 to March 31, on which latter date the lists will be closed without exception. The Council, in meeting this week, decided upon a suitable prize for the tournament winners. The nature of this prize, however, is being kept secret. All students of the university are eligible to compete in the tourney, which will be held in the handball courts on the Broadway side of Bobet Hall. Gym Tea Dance is Huge Success Wright Says Last Sunday's Frolic Was Well Attended A tea dance, offered in conjunction with the celebration of the feast of St. Joseph, was held under the direction of the university dance committee, Sunday evening, March 19th, in the Loyola gymnasium.

It was further announced that the regular monthly gym dances would be resumed immediately after Easter.

ECONOMICS CLASS DEBATES ■ As a deviation from the regular routine of class a debate was | held in Mr. John V. Conner's ! Principles of Economics class on a very timely and appropriate subject namely, "That tariff is more advantageous to the United j States than free trade." Each member of the class voted to determine the winning side. The ! free traders, S. F. Toups and1 George Guilbault, Jr., received j the favorable decision, 24 to 12. j The affirmative side of the proposition was upheld by Henry Kaack and F. Winter Trapolin.

COLLEGE WANTS TO SPANK NIPPON (By College News Service) Fort Collins, Colo., March 24.— An economic boycott aimed by Japan this week was favored by student delegates who convened as a model League of Nations Assembly here, under the sponsorship of the Colorado Agricultural College. CLASS RUSH WILL END SOPH-FROSH TROPHY CONTEST Final Event in Race To Be Held This Evening At 4:15 o'Clock CLASSES ARE NOW ON EQUAL TERMS Student Council Expects One Hundred Per Cent Attendance The final and deciding event of the Hausman Trophy contest— the Class Rush—will be held this evening at 4:15 o'clock on the stadium grounds. This event, usually the most popular of the annual frosh-soph contests, is particularly important this year as upon its outcome will depend whether the freshman class will walk away with the trophy as they have repeatedly done in previous years, or whether the particularly strong sophomore class at Loyola this year will come out on top for the first time in years—the winner of the Hausmann Trophy. The score at present stands two-to-two—a tie—The freshmen won the literary contests and the sophomores the athletic contests. All members of the freshman and sophomore classes will gather on each side of the cinder track, about half-way from the southern flag pole, and, at a given signal, will all rush toward a football suspended about fifteen feet from the base of the pole. Referees will be present to prevent any unnecessary roughness on the part of the contestants. The decision will be given to the class whose members are able to carry the ball to a certain point a short distance from the flag pole. . 1 Recital is Given by Music School Musical Interpretations Are Well Received by Audience Loyola's first student recital was presented by the Loyola College of Music last Saturday night in Marquette auditorium before an audience that intensely appreciated the classical program offered."Water Boy," "It Is Enough," "The Sleigh," selections offered by Aubrey Oswald, baritone, were among the most popular on the program, as was the Ninth Concerto by de Beriot, played by Miss Ruth Schaeffer, violinist. Henry Gustine's selections opening and closing the program as well as those of Margaret Jones, soprano, were also met with great enthusiasm by the audience.
