Students Go On "Date Strike" By College News Service YANKSTON, S. D., Oct. 11.— Picketing has been resorted to at Yankton college to prevent "dating" of girls residing on that campus. » Following issuance of a faculty ultimatum prohibiting men from visiting the women's dormitories Jor engagements except on weekends and Wednesdays, the men used the extraordinary measure by way of retaliation. A penalty of "paddling" was strictly enforced on those who broke the strike. NIGHT SODALITY MEETS (The men's sodality in the night met last night for the pur- Spose of reorganization, according to fcharles Kenny, prefect.. The meet- was presided over by Rev. S. H. ■ft, S. J., dean of men. I Reorganization of NRA The Second Phase of A Permanent Federal Reconstruction Plan (EDITOR'S NOTE: Fr. Chapman is the author of "From the New Democracy to the New Deal" and is the teacher of a course dealing with the New Era. He discusses here a vital aspect of today's NRA.). BY C. C. CHAPMAN, S. J. I have been asked to write a short article on the NRA and its new set up. In a conversation with Donald Richberg last month I asked him if the NRA was to be reorganized as reported in file papers, along the general lines of the Federal and state governments, namely, with a legislative, executive and judicial department. He answered that that was merely newspaper talk; "they had to say something". He then proceeded to draw for me a chart in which he outlined the whole reorganization plan. Since that time the outline has partially been made public and the work of reorganization is now well under way. The NRA is to be administered by a board of seven men, who are to take over the duties heretofore performed by General Johnson— quite a tribute to the General. This board will be called the National Industrial Recovery Board (NIRB), and will be responsible directly to the President. There is no truth to the statement that Richberg will be Czar, or that radicals will be In control, as reported by some newspapers. The members of the Board have already been appointed. They all seem to be excellent men —representing somewhat different view points. All of them have had several months of experience In NRA work. S. Clay Williams has been appointed chairman of the NIRB. He is a fairminded man, a lawyer with a great deal of business experience, former president of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Dramatic Society Admits Twenty-Six Twenty six new members were admitted to the Loyola Thespians at the regular meeting of the society held Wednesday night in Marquette auditorium.

McNeely, Leo Zinser, Felicen Lozes, John McCann, John Schilleci, A. P. Schiro, 111 and F. Winter Trapolin. Circolo Meeting Of Vital Importance At a meeting of the Circolo Universitario Italiano held last night in Marquette auditorium various questions of vital interest to the society were discussed. Announcement of their nature has not been made. The by-laws regarding strict attendance at meetings are being enforced, according to Anthony J. Santangelo, President of the group. Amend Constitution Of Debate Society Meeting for the purpose of adopting several important changes in its constitution, the Edward Doiiglaa White Debating society convened Monday in Marquette auditorium. Among the proposals adopted was an amendment to allow the society the privilege of electing, from time to time in the future, prominent men and benefactors to honorary membership. This is the first time in the history of the organization that such a distinction has been made between honorary and active memebrs. The society adopted another amendment whereby members negligent in their attendance on regular meetings will be dropped In stead of being expelled. Such members will have the privilege of being readmitted to membership upon a second application. Further amendments alleviating the difficulty of certain technicalities in the constitution were adopted by the membership. Applications for membership into the society are now open for all duly registered and regular students in the university. Try-outs for these applicants will be held at some date in the future. At the meeting Milton J. Me- Govern gave a thirty minute talk on the career of Chief Justice Edward Douglas White. The address was along the lines of a commendatory speech delivered on the floor of the State Legislature in Baton Rouge. Students View Church History In Vivid Talkie Catholic college and high-school students packed the St. Charles theatre Thursday morning to see "Through the Centuries," a vivid portrayal of the history of the Catholic Church from its foundation by Christ to the present time, compiled by the Rev. Francis X. j Tfalbot, S. J., of the "America" staff. At most of the Catholic institutions thiought the city classes were suspended to allow the pupils an opportunity to witness the spectacle. Beginning in the time of Christ, with the earlier scenes portrayed by a group of Italian actors, the pictures take us through the days of the martyrs, the middle ages, and reach a climax with stirring scenes of the last few decades taken from old news-reel files. They are rather deftly joined together and the fine seeking voice of Pedro de Cordoba adds an impressive note. College Prexy To Set Living Code By College News Service TUFTS COLLEGE, Mass., Oct. 11.—A "code" to embrace ideals of the last generation and to provide for the shortcomings of education was suggested this week as a "design for living" for college students by Dr. John A. Cousens, president of Tufts College. "Our system of education does not furnish the young man or woman emerging from it with a code to live by," he said. "If we were summoned now before the bar of judgment, wo should have to admit the charge that our system of education does not furnish a philosophy of life, does not supply a set of principles which constitute the basic design of life's unfolding pattern."

Freshman Student Describes Some of His Travels Through Jerusalem and the Holy Land (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of articles by David Kattan, fres'nman arts and science student, who this summer visited Jerusalem, the Holy Land, and nearby countries.) OLD JERUSALEM By David Kattan As we entered through the Jaffa gate of Old Jerusalem, we came into the ancient streets that Our Lord once walked. From here we began to walk down the narrow, dark and crowded streets leading to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. As we descended the old stone steps leading to the market place, we saw t'he little fruit and fish stores all along both sides of the narrow alley. The fresh fragrance of fruit, the smell of dried fish, the rich odor of roasted meats, and the rushing of men dressed in their Oriental costumes made "Ell Kudz", Jerusalem, seem more strange and unusual. We continued descending in a northerly direction towards the Church of the Holy Sepulchre until we reached the market place. Here we turned to the left and began ascending towards St. Helena's Church. After a few minutes of walking, we came upon the entrance to the Holy of Holies. Here we saw the Stone of Unction, facing the main entrance. Hanging over it are twelve candles that are kept lighted throughout the entire year. As we proceeded a little further, we came upon the tomb of the King of Kings. We entered this through a little opening on the western side. Inside we saw a great margle slab which covers the spot where Our Lord was buried. After saying a few prayers, we left for Mount Calvary, which is inside the same church. We went up the circular stairs until we reached the top of the small hill. As we looked ahead when we reached the summit of the Mount, we saw a great golden cross with Seniors Climax Week Of General Class Elections For the fourth consecutive year, Charles H.

Brupbacher was elected by a committee of judges composed of Charles Bailey, president of the student council; Irvin Timnirick, president of the sop'nomore class; Bill McHardy, head cheerleader; and Guy Knobloch, assistant cheerleader. The decision of the judges was based upon the personality, gracefulness and popularity of the men trying out. About fifteen freshmen tried out for cheerleader and because of the lability displayed by these men, Bailey, after announcing the winner of the position, said that it is probable that another cheerleader may be picked before the season is over. Philosophy Forum To Reopen Sunday The philosophy forum, conducted by Rev. Martin Burke, S.

By College News Service BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 11.— The second reincarnation of a dog was accomplished last week by Dr. Robert E. Cornis'ii, University of California biologist. Following an experiment conducted by the scientist last April, j when a dog was killed and arti ficially brought back to lit'-D, much national attention has been directed to Cornish's small private workshop.Cornish formerly conducted his experiments in a. building on the Berkeley campus, but was requested to pursue his work elsewhere, due to its nature. The scientist claims t'ue second dog to have been brought back more near the normal state in four days than "Thirteen", the first canine subject, whose resusci- \ tation was achieved after two v weeks of constant nursing. The revivification is brought about' by injecting certain chemicals into the blood stream of the animal, according to Cornish.
