De Latour, Klotz, Gast, Hursey Get "College Night" Applause Indicating that their popularity was not a "flash in the pan," Althea deLatour and Betty Klotz, Gus Gast and Francis Hursey, again proved that the public liked them when they won round after round of applause at the next to last "College Night" held at the Blue Room of the Hotel Roosevelt Friday evening. DeLatour and Klotoz gave another of their unique "double" dances, this time to the tune of maritime music and in costume "a la navy." The crowd which seemed larger than ever and, curiously enough, not altogether collegiate, apparently enjoyed the military steps, the "gob glide" and the other routines, for they demanded encore after encore. The other dance number on the five-act program was also well received, although entertainers know only too well that tap dancing has to be good to please the public. Gus Gast, however, seemed to have that "certain something" in his steps that was just what the public wanted and he did much more than merely get by. Francis Hursey, troubled with a cold and a heavy radio schedule for the week, surprised those who expected him to be a bit weak for these reasons and gave his usual performance with his unusually fine tenor voice. Those who have heard Hursey sing need no explanation for his continued popularity, which was demonstrated Friday night only to the regret of Francis, for he was forced to sing double encores. The "College Night" promoters have Loyola acts for the final show which will be held on June 5, according to the latest reports. Wegmann Chosen New Maroon Editor Earl F.

Cat, Bat Will Be Named Yea bo! Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of t'ne Bat, the Cat, Dor Ears and the Law Briefer. Be it known to all students of the Loyola campus that j in the final issue of The Maroon which comes off the press on June 1, each of the men who run the personal columns and who is a senior will sign his name at the end of the last spasm. Yes sir, his real name and in full. too. Here is your chance, all you guys who have been guessing for a solid year just who it was that was finding out all those nice things about you. The seniors in particular will be : especially glad to learn their termentor's name, for the last week's 1 columns will be devoted to them and them alone. We hope that there will be no demonstrations of physical violence on the grounds when the big news breaks. If any indications point to such an occurrence The Maroon will have a cordon of bodyguards surrounding the buildings to insure the personal safety of the columnists. We hope that all the columns have been enjoyed. We think they ! have, because it is a common thing for a number of students to come into The Maroon office on Friday i morning before the papers have been received through the mail, and request a copy just to see what the Bat or the Cat has to say, and to see if they have been accorded a place in the Hall of Shame. And the talk on and off the campus is also a favorable Indication of the columns' popularity.
