It was a most impressive ceremony and worthy of commendation. Organization was the keynote of the whole affair; it clicked beautifully and was a demonstration well worth seeing. More than anything, it showed that the spark of faith has not died in the hearts of the country's youth; that they can still show their devotion in an external manner and pay homage to God's greatest creature, His Mother. The origin of the idea has been a subject of discussion among the students on the campus. | The credit for that goes to Miss Loretta O'Boyle, former prefect of the Ursuline college sodality, who graduated last year. She was the first to mention it, and was there last Monday to see her idea materialize and take definite form. We are sure that she was pleased with the manner in which it was carried out; and we thank her for giving the sodalists of the city such a wonderful way in which to show their love and devotion to the Queen of the Rosary.

College Training Important To Fighter, Asserts Jack Dempsey By Marie Louise Reynolds "There is no question that a colw lege education is important to those who intend to make fighting their career. I didn't have the adDw ♦vantage of one, but I surely wish I had. It's mighty tough working your way up without one." The Speaker—Jack Dempsey. Completely at ease on a large sofa in the living room of his suite at a local hotel, Dempsey spoke in a moderate, rather highpitched tone of voice. His body is .still as well proportioned as at the time of championship. He was ,4 dTessed ntatly in a black and gray * small-checkered suit, white shirt, black and white tie, and black shoes. Jack thought the wrestling i match he had refereed the night before between "Chief Chew-something and another wrestler" was pretty good, but "a little rough," he said with a smile. The Manassa Mauler is a true friend and a fine fellow. Ask some of those who have known him for a long time. Floyd Fitzsimmons, who has been associated with the former pugilist for 20 years, thinks "he's the best there is!" The manager of the hotel, who was also present during the interview, seems to share this opinion. Back in the days when Jack Dempsey was champion of the world, the manager" heard that on a trip from coast to coast, he would be in New Orleans for two hours between trains. He wired Jack that he would be delighted to have him as a guest of the hotel.

Renowned Actor's "Britches Split" When He Makes Debut In His First Shakesperian Play By Marie Louise Reynolds Walter Hampden began his career by "making mistakes." This rather startling remark was made during a half hour of a busy day between his dinner and the time for the evening performance. Hie dominant and vivid personality was instantly apparent as he arose from his seat on a lounge in the hotel lobby. He has the tall, dignified stature that Is so essential to his profession, but the picture he presents of geniality and cheerfulness somehow doesn't coincide with the one you have of an actor who portrays so convincingly the roles of Richard Crookback and Hamlet. When he speaks his deep blue eyes gleam like the eyes of someone who has fulfilled his life;l;life;l;Three Thousand See Animated Rosary In Stadium Before a crowd of approximately 3000 persons, the first animated rosary ever held in the city of New Orleans took place in Loyola stadium, Monday, October 29th.

Government's Right To Censor Topic Of Forum The right of the government to enforce censorship of the screen, the press, and the radio was defended by Rev. Martin Burke, S. J., head of the philosophy department, in the weekly forum conducted Sunday night at 7:45 in Marquette auditorium. Father Burke Insisted that this involuntary censorship should be used "very sparingly and only as a last resort." "If it can be shown," he stated, "that publishers, motion picture producers and owners of radio stations are doing harm to the common good by spreading immorality, and they will not submit to some form of voluntary censorship, then it is the duty of the government to censor." The use of the press and the radio by politicians was criticized by Father Burke. "As a result of their conduct during political campaigns, there has arisen an utter disregard for the people who hold public office," he stated. "The intelligent person looks upon the politician as little more than a fool." The selection, "The Last Dream of the Virgin," by Maussernieh was played by the symphonic ensemble of the college of music under the direction of Dr. Ernest E.

There was a spirit of friendly and joyful rivalry that put a zip and zest in the frolics. The floor show was really something to brag about. It lasted for fully an hour and every one of the sixty minutes was crammed full with entertainment. Not one of the acts could leave the floor without doing an encore. Then when Mickey Alpert and his orchestra played a medley of college tunes, ' the strains were drowned out by the wild applause of the college nighters. It was, In country language, "a humdinger affair." Tonight a new feature is being introduced. Instead of drawing the floor show talent from the various colleges, all the acts are being secured from the high schools. Billy Ferguson and Betty Loreh are headlining the bill with the "Merry Widow Waltz" as done by Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette Mac- Donald.
