Rodi, president of the Edward Douglas White society. The proposed trip of the society will begin with a deba(} in Mobile, and will go as far as New York in the east, then back to St. Louis, and into Memphis. The society has sent letters of communication to each of the universities on the itinerary and is expecting a reply within the next week. On the tour, the Loyola representatives will debate either of two propositions. The first ia, "Resolved: That the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Waterway treaty should be adopted." The latter Red and Blue Globes Symbol For Pharmacy Some schools might have their symbols in seals, on windows, or on flags, but the college of pharmacy has them hanging up! Above the entrance of the pharmacy laboratory are two large red and blue show globes, held in place by two brass supports. These globes represent the real symbol of pharmacy, more so than the mortar and pestle. They were donated to the college of pharmacy by S. J. Peters, past president of the L.S.P.A., who is much interested in the work of the university department. The history of show globes as symbols of pharmacy takes us far back into the centuries. Long ago, neighborhood druggists would mix their ingredients in large glass bowls. The liquids would draw colors out of the drugs, the most common being red and blue. As the druggist hung them in the show cases to let the sun react on the mixtures, the globes began by custom to signify a drugstore. They were probably out of uee when the more modern methods of mixing became known. Now the ice cream sign or the neon light has replaced the show globes in front of the drug store. University Programs Over Air Announced The Campus Quarter Hour, weekly program of university news, was conducted Thursday at 5:00 p. m. over WWL by Alton Deßlanc, sophomore student.

De Latour and GastAre Featured At Blue Room Two of Loyola's star performers will take the spotlight in the gala Blue Room College Night floor-show tonight, when the students of the various universities and colleges assemble to make merry after a week of gruelling examinations. Althea De Latour, charming and petite miss from Ursuline college, will again present for the patrons of the Blue Room college nights one of her sensational impressionistic dances. Last time Miss De Latour appeared she performed the intricate routines of a Russian fandango and brought rounds of applause from the night clubbers. She has a new dance this time which is every bit as good as the last one. The other performer, diminutive Gus (jaet, is well known in campus circles for his snappy and bizarrebizarre foot-work on the boardsy Gus has gained quite a reputation as an amateur top-dancer and those who have seen him do his stuff in the past can vouch for the perfection and the popularity of hie work. He's on again tonight and those who don't come down will be missing a wonderful exhibition of "tripping the light fantastic." Harold "Bing" Boehm, popular crooner from across the way on the neighboring campus, will again be one of the attractions. At previous performances, he stopped the show with five and six encores. "Coozie" McCloskey completes the college floor show. Miles and Kover, sensational dance team, and Charlie Carnet and his CBS orchestra, provide the regular entertainment, so come on down and join in the fun. HOOP GAME IS HAUSMANN EVENT Freshman-Sophomore Tilt Will Take Place on Monday, February 11 The freshman-sophomore basketball game has been definitely set for Monday night, February 11, at 7:30, according to Charles H.

The cage game will precede the varsity contest with Southwestern of Lafayette in accordance with special arrangements made by the student council and Coach "Doc" Erskine. Student books may be used as entrance tickets for both of the games. Up to the present time the series is in a deadlock between the two classes. The freshmen won the first contest, a tug of war during the football season. A few weeks later the sophomores evened the series with a win in a debating encounter. Each class has begun to organize basketball teams and practice is expected to start Monday. Hopes are running high in both camps of capturing this third event, as a victory for either class would put them in the lead and give them a decided advantage for the trophy. The fourth and fifth events of the series will be a campus night, at which both classes will vie in presenting programs of entertainment, and a soft-ball game, according to a rule of the student council a few weeks ago. The dates of these contests will be announced in a few weeks. Bailey stated.
