              THE MAROON Volume XII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., APRIL 5, 1935 No. 25 VARSITY "11" MEETS GRADS SUNDAY Loyola Choral Union Is Planned By Music Dean 75 VOICES TO SING WITH SYMPHONY IS GROUP PLAN Winter Trapolin Is In Charge of Organization Committee; Attempt Will Be First r Of Its Kind in New Orleans. Plans for a Loyola Choral Union are being formed by Dr. Ernest ' E. Schuyten, dean of the college of music, it was made known this Eweek by those in charge. The group is to be composed of about 75 voices if things materialize according to arrangements. The talent for such a society will be drawn, from Loyola university, Ursuline college, Dominican college, and the alumni group. Doctor Schuyten, in explaining the function of such a union, stated that the purpose was "to form a singing group which would be of such a nature as to do justice to larger combined choral and symphony work". "Such a feature", Dr. Schuyten continued, "will be of the utmost importance to music development iri New Orleans. If our plans crystallize as we forsee them, it will be the first time in the history of this city that an attempt will be made to combine as large a group ' of voices as 75 with a symphony orchestra. It is a large undertaking, and it is understood that co\ operation is necessary if success is to bo assured." At a meeting of the chorus which 1s rehearsing for the Southern Convention of Music Educators this week end, a committee to handle the details of organization was drawn up under the direction of Dr. Schuyten. Winter Trapolin, senior arts and science student SPRING GAME WILL START AT 11 IN LOCAL STADIUM Billy Roy and Frank Sullivan to Captain Respective Elevens; Game Promises to Reveal Shape-up of '35 Squad. At eleven o'clock Sunday morning when the 1935 Varsity eleven takes the field against a team made up of grads, sports fans can estimate just how much the squadhas learned in five weeks of spring training and get a pretty good idea of how the Wolf aggregation will appear on the gridiron next fall when they take the field for their first game against Spring Hill on September 27th. Loyola stadium will see plenty of action Sunday morning as the regular Sunday handicap meet will precede the football game, beginning at 10 o'clock and being called at 11:50 in order to give the gridders a chance to get on the field and get limbered up. The Grads plan to use a double wing-back formation against the Varsity eleven which will exhibit its new single wing-back formations which they have been getting under the direction of Coaches Eddie Reed and Moon Ducote. The Grads have some advantage in experience and weight, but the Varsity squad expects to be able to turn them back with their superior condition and teamwork. The Grad and Varsity elevens have been mixing things up in the scrimmages held during the week. Last Monday the Grads took the offense against the regulars for the first time and took the ball from mid-field to the regular's oneyard line in less than a dozen plays before the hopefuls for 1935 were able to stop them. The youngsters proved their worth by holding the older" men on the oneyard line for play after play and repeated smashes by Caillouette, who was responsible for much of the yardage gained from mid-field, and slashes by Jones and Booth off-tackle, availed the "old guard" little in the way of yardage. The Grads finally "scratched" when Perry Booth took the ball and on Loyola Splits Double Debate Two Contests Remain On Schedule Splitting even on the decisions, Loyola representatives engaged in two debates Friday night, one at S. M. U. in Dallas and the other here in Marquette auditorium. Debating on the proposition, "Resolved: That the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence waterway treaty should be adopted," Lawrence Babst and C. Paul Barker won a judges decision over representatives from S. M. XJ., while Stephen Rodi and John McCann, defending the affirmative of the question, "Resolved: That the nations should agree to prevent the international shlpmer.c of arms and munitions," lost a 2-1 decision to Roland Terry and Gordon Graham of the University of Florida. ~ Arhe win at S. M. U. gave the Texas tour a record of two wins against three defeats. The three defeats were administered by Texas university twice and Baylor university once. The other win was chalked up against Texas A. & M. Two more debates remain on the home schedule of Loyola. Representatives will engage in a return encounter with S. M. U. in Mar- Quette auditorium at a date not announced, and in a meeting w'h the University of Souh Carolina on April 16.

Seniors Finally Become Expert Theses-Punchers Wednesday was a sad day for some, but a glad day for most of the seniors who are looking forward to graduation when the roses bloom in June. It was the deadline on theses and the hustle and bustle in every office, classroom, and study was truly remarkable. Pages upon pages of typewritten matter were in evidence everywhere, but the number of pages werQ in no way equal to the number ef frowns on the foreheads of the theses writers. After months of seclusion and hermitage spent in ruminating about old libraries, the boys felt like the worm in the apple who first saw the light of day when little Johnny took a big healthy bite. The one thing which bothered most was not the writing of the papers, but the art of getting the pages in the binders. Many a tear has been shed and many a vulgar word uttered in the course of placing the pages just so. Some used pen-knives, some used scissors, some used transfer punchers, some Ambassador Of France Greeted By University Exercising his authority at the invitation of Rev. James A. Greeley, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences, His Excellency Andre ..de Laboulaye, ambassador from France to the United States, Wednesday declared a holiday for Loyola Arts and Sciences students all day Thursday. This announcement came as the climax to the reception held in honor of M. de Laßoulaye and his wife, who are making a good-will through the state. The reception was attended by students in all departments of the university Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock In the Holy Name auditorium. Included in the ambassador's party were Mr. Rene Delage, resident consul of France in New Orleans, and his wife; and Mr. P. Saugon, resident vice-consul, and his wife. A large group of men and women prominent in business and social circles and connected with the university also entertained the ambassador and his wife at a preliminary reception in Father Hynes' office. Speeches of welcome were made by Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., president of the university, Father Greeley, Marie Therese Villere, Helen D'Antoni, and Albert Dupuy. His Excellency acknowledged the reception with a brief address. "I wish to express my deep gratitude for this welcome," he declared. "It is a'very great pleasure."It is with a sense of the fitness of things that I present His Excellency to you," Father Hynes said in his presentation speech. "Loyola may be young in age, but she is old in tradition. The ships of Bienville and Iberville brought the black-garbed Jesuit fathers and Ursuline nuns. "We are welcoming one of our 'old boys.' M. de Laboulaye studied in a Jesuit college in Paris for ten years, and at present he has two sons at Georgetown university."Albert Dupuy, ex-president of the French Club and senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, gave the student welcome to the Embassador. He spoke in French, and said His Excellency's visit to the university was considered a very great honor and distinction.

Debatemen Hoard Texas Steers A mong Souvenirs Among their souvenirs you'll find some steers. The varsity debaters who toured Texas on the recent forensic trip showed rare judgement in the selection of souvenirs. A checkup on the total number of remembrances will prove that our men are not only debaters but also diplomats. For the majority of the team selected the Texas steer as the little reminder of that Texas Trip. In all five small steers of various materials were brought back to New Orleans. Penner Hodgins and Paul Barker, law students, tied for the title of rodeo champion. Each secured two steers to bring home. Larry Babst, another law student, was successful in securing only one steer. However the debaters returned with various and sundry souvenire. As variety goes Mickey McGovern lead in selecting with a ping-pong set, a bracelet and a water gun (the baby). Charles Bailey picked out two Mexican weave baskets made in Japan. Besides his steers brought back a set of mounted horns and a ladies whisk brusli.
