Home Elected Maroon Editor Jacksonville Boy is Loyola's First Out-of-Town Editor Daniel Mark Home, junior in the College of Arts and Sciences and nephew of the Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., President of Loyola University, was elected editor of the Loyola Maroon for the coming scholastic year at a meeting of the Executive Staff in the Publications Office on the Loyola campus last night. The appointment of Home as editor of Loyola's student weekly newspaper was immediately approved by the faculty publication board. Home succeeds Paul Capdevielle as editorin-chief of the Loyola Maroon. Home, who resides in Jacksonville, Florida, is the first out-oftown editor in the history of the Loyola Maroon. He has been news editor of the Maroon and is the conductor of the "Certain Point of View" column. He is also a member of the Glee Club and the Golf Club and was treasurer of his class this year. He will assume the editorial chair in September, at the beginning of his senior year. Home was appointed upon the resignation of Paul Capdevielle as editor. Capdevielle announced his resignation "because of the pressure of other and more important duties, notably of the scholastic order. Moreover, it is my firm belief that the tradition of electing a new editor each and every year should be kept. One year as editor is sufficient for any man, whether he returns the following year or not." Home's first statement was to the effect that the present Maroon staff would be kept intact next year, because of the fact that no member is graduating. Capdevielle will return in the capacity of managing editor. The executive staff, which appointed Home, is composed of Paul Capdevielle, editor; Felicien Lozes and Leo C. Zinser, associate editors; J. Skelly Wright, business manager, and the Rev. Ronald A. Mac- Donald, S. J., Director of Student Activities. (Courtesy of the Times-Picayune) DANIEL M.
