              THE MAROON  LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., OCTOBER 26, 1934 Number 4 olume XIII STUDENT DANCE TOMORROW NIGHT The Campus View "The Reign of Terror" for gangland is on full blast. Federal guns this week dropped "Pretty Boy" Floyd much in the same manner as they dropped Dillinger three months ago. The government agents now have their caps set for "Baby Face" Nelson, who is next in the long line of national criminals.|l After nine years of crime, "Pretty Boy" took his last trip of depredation t'nrough the mid-west and dropped with lead slugs in his body on a little farm in Ohio. Melvin H. Purvis, who was reD sponsible for the death of Dillinger, also led this coup. He deserves quite a bit of commendation. It ■' looks as if the Federal government finally has a man who has the sfrength of his own convictions. That is precisely what has been needed for so long if it is ever to be hoped to minimize crime in this country. The peculiar thing about the death of both Dillinger and Floyd is that they were brought about by the most trivial incidents. In the case of Dillinger, he went to his doom when he entered a theatre in the company of two women. Floyd came to his tragic end w'nen he argued with a fellow about the price of a ride. Little things such as these have brought the downfall of many men, criminal and otherwise. If things keep going at the present rate, there won't be anyone D left to succeed to the title of "Public Enemy No. 1." Dillinger was until he vacated of necessity, as \, was t'ne case with "Pretty Boy." "Baby Face" Nelson, by reason of the vacancy and his notorious record, now tnkes t'ne place. But am is on the spot by the Federal officers, and if Purvis maintains his reputation he won't keep it long. We wonder who the next in line is. AFTER TWO YEARS of tircliss efforts, the Lindbergh kidnapping case now seems nearing solution and the criminal behind ftie bars. Great Temples of Baalbeck, City of the Sun, Described On July 25, 1934, we started on our ten day tour of Syria, Mount * Lebanon, and Transjordania. We travelled in a northeasterly direction from Bethlehem, Palestine to Beyrouth, Mt. Lebanon. While on our way to Beyrouth, we passed through the cities of: Nazareth in Galilee, Haifa, Akka (the city that Napoleon's fleet bombarded when he took Palestine), and many other .smaller cities and towns. After seeing most of the beautiful city of Beyrouth, we turned to the northwest, towards the city of Baalbeck in Mount Lebanon. We travelled for six hours through mountainous country, before we reached the Anti-Lebanon valley, from where we were able to see Baalbeck in the remote distance. • We reached the outskirts of Baalbeck just as the sun was beginning to set in the west. As we entered through the gates of the city, we began to see the beautiful temples of the ancient city of the sun (so named by the Pheonicians, who once inhabited the city). As we got out of our car near the Magistrate's office, we entered Into the old city of tem- pies through the Royal Entrance on ■ t lie eastern side. The first thing that we saw was the magnificent . pillars of the Great Temple of Ju| piter.

Loyola, Springhill Meet In Ninth Jesuit Classic Tonight the Loyola Wolves will meet the Spring Hill Badgers on the gridiron for the ninth time in twelve years. In the previous eight encounters the Wolves have taken seven to the Badgers one. The only time that the Spring Hill eleven has defeated Loyola was in 1922 when the eleven from Mobile won 14-0, but the Wolves retaliated the following year by sending the Spring HUli&ni home on the short end of a 19-6 score. It was in these first two games of the present series that the Hillians have put over their only markers against the Wolves, twenty in all. The team which Coach "Mike" Donahue will bring to New Orleans is one of Spring Hill's best teams, and by far the best team of the past three years. The Badgers this year have played four games | and have won three of them having defeated Alabama Teachers, Southwestern (La.), and Union college. The Badgers, the oldest rivals of the Loyola Wolves, are admittedly pointing for this game and intend to show local fans something in the way of a real football battle. The Hill team lias been the underdog for about eieven years and they have been ihirstinsFr. Burke Discusses Youth's Right In Censorship ;p[p] Student Opera Date Changed To February The date for the production of the student opera, "Bohemian Girl," has been changed from the first week of December to the middle of February, according to Madame -Eva Grippon, opera department head. The cast, as announced previously, will remain unchanged with Olga Gaily and Kussell Stevenson singing the leading roles. Miss Bai- [ ly, a student of the music school, is a lyric soprano and has been acclaimed by critics for her wonderful voice and her dramatic ability. "This opera," Madame Grippon said, "is very difficult to produce, and when staged will have the flash and color of an opera at the Metropolitan Opera house. It will even surpass the high standard set by previous operas here at Loyola."

CHARLES HOTEL Jake Schambra And His Ambassadors To Play Music Initiating the change from the old form of gym dances, the first university student dance of the year will be held tomorrow night at the Convention hall of the St. Charles hotel. It will last from !D p. m. to 1 a. m. This change was brought about by the dance committee at its firs£ meeting of the term. Hereafter, all student dances will be held at some downtown hotel instead of in the Loyola gymnasium as has been the custom for the past few years. The music for the occasion will be furnished by Jake Schambra and his Ambassadors. Prices of admission are: couples, 75 cents; stags, 50 cents. 'The first of the new dances," M. V. Jarreau, chairman of the committee, said, "promises to be a success. It looks as if the students like the idea, judging from the number of tickets that have been sold to date. We had only a limited number of invitations printed and now it looks as though we might have to have extra ones made." All tickets must be bought in advance. There will be no sale at the door. Students who wisa to go to the dance are urged to buy their tickets right away because of the small number left. Anyone wishing to purchase invitations can get them from any member of the following dance committee: M. V. Jarreau, chairman; Richard Wright secretary-treasurer, Foster Bosworth, John Bias!, Cnarles Bailey, Abram Diaz, Tom Dunn, Lawrence Babst, Guy Knobloch, Jr., Marion Loisel, Stephen Rodi, Edward Spranley, Winter Trapolin, Earl Wegmann, and Irvin Timmriek. 'NINTH GUEST' CHOSEN FOR THESPIANS Mystery Melodrama To Be Presented On Dec. 20 The Loyola Thespians will present, as their mid-term play for this year, Owen Davis' "The Ninth Guest", it was announced yesterday by Sam McNeely, president of the organization. The play is a gripping melodramatic mystery in three acts, adapted from the novel "The Invisible Host" by Owen Bristow and T'nomas Manning, well known New Orleans authors. The novel has been acclaimed as the best of modern mystery stories, and under the clever hand of Owen Davis loses none of its brilliance in the histrionic version. It is replete with action and thrills, and is heralded as a play requiring adult talent for successful production. The decision was reached after two weeks of voluminous reading and eliminating of plays by the play-reading committee of the Thespians. The committee includ- Appoint Committees, Admit 9 Students To Italiano Circolo The appointment of committees and the admittance of nine new I members, featured the meeting last Thursday of the Circolo Universitario Italiano. according to Anj thony Santangelo, president.

Nugent, chair- Life Is Taken Easy in New Zealand, Dr. Reilly Asserts "The American college student would be surprised at the slowness, moderation, and toleration of | the New Zealand people," stated Dr. Edward Ileilly in a conversation on his country. "We do not strive for speed. We take life in a calm fashion and are not as excessive as and are more tolerant than you Americans." Dr. Reilly is a native of Christchurch, ft city of 110,000 population in the southern part of New Zealand. He is completing his studies in the school of dentistry, having received a four-year Certlflcate of Proficiency in Dental Surgery from New Zealand university.The motor cars, the walk, the speech, and the general methods of Americans are much faster than in this country, Dr. Reilly noted upon landing in San Francisco for his initial trip out of his native land. Incidentally, the first time Dr. Reilly saw a Negro in his life was in the California port. The natives of New Zealand are of the Yellow race and are distinguished , from the Caucasians In the society of the Dominion. , Probably a disappointment to the young American fellow in the doctor's land would be the lack of drug stores. The medicines are sold by small chemist shops that . have no soda fountains or  counters. The preferred hangout for the "drug store cowboys" is the hotel. An alcoholic drink cannot be. legally bought after six o'clock In the evening in Christchurch, Dr. Reilly stated. Although there is no prohibition in the country, the liquors are under the control of the government and all drinking is kept in moderation. The popular American "pop" is unknown to the New Zealander. The cigarettes they smoke are mostly of the English brands. One of the attractive features of the customs of the people is that three times a day the hotels give free food with all the drinks sold. Anyone can order a drink and eat all the cake he wants. Dr. Reilly lias been in the United States a* little over two months, yet he has seen more of this country than the average American. He has travelled in the Western and Southwestern states and recalls all of the interesting scenery. After completing his course, Dr. Reilly intends to return to the hospital in New Zealand, where he was employed by the government. In about two years he hopes to start a dental practice of his own.
