              THE MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., OCTOBER 19, 1934 Number 3 Volume XIII WOLVES FACE CHOCTAWS ON GRID TONIGHT Undefeated Mississippi Team Captained By Harvey Craft With the Mercer and Howard games already in the bag, the Wolf Pack will march on the field tonight to do battle with the Mississippi college Choctaws for the fifth time in a series of encounters in which the Wolves have always been victorious. The Mississippians have gone undefeated so far this year in three games and are coming to New Orleans to attempt for the fifth time to defeat the Wolves. Harry Craft, star Mississippi college backfield man, will again lead the Choctaws, but this year without his running f mate of former years, the famous Hitt. Last week the Mississippians defeated the Southwestern of Memphis Lynx by the one-sided score of 20-7. In this game Craft accounted for two of the touchdowns himself after a run of 20 and 26 yards respectively, and threw the pass to Baker that accounted for the third touchdown. In Baker, the end who mafie the third touchdown against Southwestern last week, the Choctaws have a man that will be a match for the Wolf terminal men. After a summary checkup, Coach , Erskine's squad was in fine shape from the Howard scrap with the exception of a few bruises here and there. In a vain attempt to stem the Pack's onslaught, the Howard defenses treated some of the Wolves pretty stiffly, but they are all in fine shape now. Erskine • has been watching his men carefully on the practice field to see that no let-up sets in, and the team that will take the field tonight will probably out-fight the team that played so well last Friday.The two teams have met for the last three consecutive years and HONOR MEMBERS FOR CHEMISTS A comparatively new venture for the Chemistry club was decided upon at a recent meeting when the members established the rating of honorary member to be bestowed upon local men worthy of • the honor.

Date For Animated Rosary Decided To Be October 29th At a joint meeting of the college and high school councils of sodalities held Monday in Marquette auditorium, final plans were discussed for the animated rosary, which is to be the featured activity of October. Monday, October 29, was decided upon as the date for the oeremony in Loyola stadium. A rosary of fifteen decades will be formed by the boys and girls of the various high schools and colleges.

Philaristai Society Postpones Reception Because so many mothers of Loyola freshmen were unable to be present, the reception to have been given last Sunday by the Philaristai was postponed, according to Mrs. O. L. Aubert, president. Mrs. Aubert also announced that a meeting will be held the last Friday of this month in Marquette auditorium at 2 p. m. All members and especially mothers of the freshmen are invited to attend this meeting. CIRCOLO IS GUEST The members of the Circolo Universitario Italiano, together with two similar organizations, were the guests at a reception given by Dr. Vitale Gallina, Royal consul of Italy, at the Royal Italian Consulate. At this reception, according to John Schelleci, secretary, the members of the Circolo were extended an inivitation to attend a concert to be given by the Virgilian society of New Orleans in the near future. Censorship Is Subject Of Forum "A moral New Deal," Fr. Martin Burke, S. J., head of the philosophy department, called present censorship of the movies, press, and stage in the opening session of this year's philosophy forum held Sunday at 7:45 in Marquette auditorium and broadcast over radio station WWL. The forum, a weekly discussion of the scholastic philosopher's view of current problems, is sponsored by the Loyola chapter of Blue Key, national honorary fraternity. Just as the industrial New Deal attempts to assure the negative rights of man's bodily well-being over the capitalist's positive right to make money, so does censorship safeguard man's spiritual well-being, Father Burke brought out. Felicien Loze, Blue Key member, introduced Father Burke. The program was rounded out by selections from classic music and the Alma Mater played by the Loyola Symphony orchestra under the direction of Dr. E. E. Schuyten.

Hursey Featured In Second Of The Blue Room College Nights The second in the series of College Nights will be held tonight at the Blue Room of the Roosevelt hotel. These features proved so popular during the past season that the management could not help but inaugurate them again this year. From now on, every Friday night will be College Night with the best talent from Loyola, Tulane and Newcomb universities participating in the floor shows. Anyone who was fortunate enough to be present at one of these last year will appreciate it when we say that they are "the highest type of entertainment to be found anywhere In New Orleans". Many of the performers of last year are back with us again. Francis Hursey, called the goldenvoiced tenor of Loyola, will be the feature of tonight's floor show. Francis will be remembered as the boy who caused such a flow of favorable criticism by the "ringside" patrons last year. He has often been heard over the regular weekly Campus Quarter Hour broadcasts, and anyone who has heard him sing knows the type of entertainment he can provide. Known as the "Morton Downey of the Campus", he will appear many times this year at the College Nights. Besides the fine variety of the floor show, there is Mickey Alpert and his Blue Room orchestra who have just come here from Broadway. He succeeds Lou Forbes who was with the Blue Room from the time of its inception. Alpert's record during his stay in New York vouches for itsself; there Is no doubt of the magic he can produce with his baton. Anyone desiring reservations for these gala events which will be staged every other Friday night, can either call Main 3920 or uee the Loyola representatives: Charles Bailey, Skelly Wright, and Earl Wegmann.

French Society Picks First Drama "Le Monde Ou L'On S'Ennuie," by Edouard Pailleron, will be the first of the plays to be presented by the French Club this year. The exact date of the presentation has not yet been decided, but it will be sometime in December . Edouard Pailleron was a member of l'Aeademie Francaise and perhaps the most successful comedy dramatist of the nineteenth century, and his play, "Le Monde Oil S'Ennuie," is perhaps the most successful of them all. It is a witty satire of a phase of French political, social, and intellectual life, the salon, which is of great interest to the student of French life and literature. This comedy in three acts is one of the few plays that have retained popularity in the French capital and is expected to create much interest among the lovers of the French stage in New Orleans. The characters are true and refreshing and the satire stinging but sparkling with wit. The interest never slackens; one is held by its charm and reality to the very end. The cast will not be announced until next week, but it is certain that A. P. Schiro, Solange Mille, Robert A. Pascal, Yvonne Galatoire, and Cyril Broussard will be among the leading characters. New Members To Glee Club The placing of voices for the proposed double quartet and the tryout of new members, featured the meeting of the Glee club Wednesday evening in Marquette auditorium. John W. Connelly and Julian K. Byrne, Jr., were admitted to membership. Evelyn Durmeyer accompanied the candidates in their try-out selections. Mrs. Simon, voice instructor in the college of music, has agreed to direct the activities of the double quartet, announces F. Winter Trapolin, president of the club. A committee composed of John Nugent, Gilbert Durand and Felix Lapeyre was appointed to plan programs for future meetings. NIGHT COUNCIL The election of members to serve on the Night School Student Board will take place this Monday night in Marquette auditorium, it was announced by Peter Naughton, president. All students are requested to be present, since the selection of student council representatives vitally affects them. Bethlehem, Birthplace Of Our Lord, Described By Traveller By David Kattan As the sun was setting in the West and dark shadows were beginning to appear around Jerusalem, we set out at top speed- to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ, and also my home-town. We raced at full velocity as we began to drive up the high hills of "Deir Mar II Lias", Mount St. Elias. From the summit we saw Bethlehem built on the distant hills. After a five minute drive, we reached "El Kubbe", the crossroads of Hebron and Bethlehem. Since we wanted to s«e the Holy Grotto before anything else, we decided to take the southeastern road from El Kubbe. Soon we began to see the beautiful marble houses of the wealthy Arabs of that city. We reached the church of the Nativity just as the moon began to penetrate through the little clouds. We entered this holy spot through a small door on the northern side. As we walked through the Greek Orthodox section of the church, we saw the new excavations that a British concern had started a few days before. Three churches, one built over the other, were found inside of St. Catherine's Church. Along with many other discoveries, the British found the ancient entrance to the little stable. On the two sides of this door were the following inscriptions on the mosaic: "Here Was Born The Son Of God". These were inscribed in the Greek language. Because this door was locked we had to go through the other door on the eastern side. As we descended a narrow and dark stairway, I noticed that the little church was built in the shape of a cross. The entrances on the eastern and western sides formed Christ's fingers and hands, while the Little Star, the spot upon which Our Lord was born, represents His head.

Kenny Speaks Of Catholicism In Mexico Of Today Catholicism in any form whatsoever is being ruthlessly destroyed throughout Mexico, in an anti- Christian movement fully sanctioned by its governmental authorities, members of Loyola's fresh- j man sodality were told by the Rev. | Michael Kenny, S. J., former regent of Loyola's school of law, during its regular meeting Tuesday morning. In an interestingly absorbing talk that consumed most of the time given over to the weekly meeting, Father Kenny outlined the various means by which the anti-Catholic forces were harassing the Catholics of Mexico, and also mentioned the manner in which nuns and priests donned the garbs of the peons among whom they worked so as to escape the persecutions of governmentally-sanctioned societies. He himself donned the white shirt and dark tie of the average American business man, so as to conceal his identity and purpose, on a recent trip into Mexico, where he gathered data on the prevalent situation. "I found there many unsung heroes' who are equal to those of any historical period," he remarked. "For more than 100 years the Mexican government has been dominated by groups of sinister parties. They are similar to the American racketeer, except that j our native gangsters are somewhat educated. So far have these Godless forces advanced that the name of Christ is effaced from all public building! and all Christian names removed from tombstones. Hereafter, those interred arc Thespians To Name Coining Play This Week The Thespian play reading; committee will announce during the coming week the name of the next production, according to Samuel S.
