              The Maroon Volume XI LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., APRIL 8, 1933 No. 24 EASTER RECESS TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY Annual Spring Holidays Start in All Departments Many Students Plan Trips to the Mississippi Coast FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES PLAN Fun Will End Tuesday, But Beer Will Be Back The annual Easter holidays will begin this Wednesday at 8 p. m. and will end at 8 a. m. on Tuesday, April 18, according to an announcement made today by the Rev. James' A. Grdelfcy, S. J., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. During the recess, which is given each year in commemoration of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, many of the Loyola students will journey to the nearby Mississippi Gulf Coast, notably Bay St. Louis, ill order " to put water wings on the. rabbit." The fraternities and sororities of the campus are especially interested in being able to say "Is My Face Red!" when classes reconvene next Tuesday. Many of the students will leave Wednesday night and return Monday morning. They will be happy and sunburned and entirely too spring feverish to feel amenable to a return to the rigors of the lecture room or laboratory. But those students who remain in New Orleans need not lament their fate. They will have something that no sea by moonlight can outbalance. For while the vacationists are bathing in salt sea foam, those left behind in the big city will be enjoying a much more satisfying variety of foam, that foam which toffs the dripping stein. The "golden liquid" comes back at noon Thursday, and, while sitting in the beer garden and listening to the German band and the crackling pretzels, the stay-at-homes can well afford to think of the vacationists and, as the Moron put it, they can "gin and beer it."
