              The Maroon vol. n NEW ORLEANS, LA., MONDAY, MAY 25, 1925 No. 12 LOYOLA ANNUAL 1925 WOLF TO BE ISSUED IN JUNE Two Sections Already Printed; Make-Up and Finish of Whole Book Most Artistic. The Wolf editors announce to the hundreds who are eagerly awaiting it that the printers assure Loyola students that the 1925 annual will be completed and be ready for delivery in June. The first two sections in which portraits of faculty and classes appear are already off the press. A notable improvement in this section is the printing of brief biographcial sketches to set off and identify the photo of faculty members. A great deal of trouble had to be gone through in order to interview all those whose pictures appear in the faculty section. The pen-pictures of all graduates, D well as the histories of all the senior classes are as complete, individual and enjoyable as the space would allow As only two sports were indulged in by varsity teams this year the greater portion of the sport section is given over to football. Due prominence is given also tobasketball. Four original and high-class drawings by Keith Temple of Freshman Law and Times-Picayune, mark the divisions between the four classes. The inserts introducing the different sections of the annual are pages, gold on both sides of great richness. Each one bears an artistic design portraying and summarizing the contents of the several sections. While the interior of the book is worthy of all praise, the managers of the 1925 Wolf believe that the splendid ornamental cover done in gold and maroon is the most beautiful ani impressive feature of the annual. Several new fraternities and two sororities forcibly proclaim the expansion of Loyola. With Ted Walters handling the advertising section all space will be sold and copy in for the dead-line day, June firU. While the Wolf editors know that they cannot please everybody, they want everybody to know that they have worked hard and unselfishly to make the 192S Wolf a thing of beauty rid a joy forever.

Father De Heredia to Produce Spooks While You Wait at Loyola Summer School Challenging New Orleans Spiritualists to produce any "psychic phenomena" that he cannot duplicate, the Rev. Father Carlos M. de Heredia, Jesuit priest, son of a wealthy Mexican hacienda-owner, comes to New Orleans within the next few weeks to conduct a course in what he calls "Cryptopsychis," at the Loyola University summer school from June 15 to July 29. And Father de Heredia hopes that any or all of New Orleans mediums will accept his challenge. The Jesuit priest, who haD devoted a lifetime of study to the "psychic and spiritualistic mysteries," guarantees that in his class rooms he can reproduce the same rappings. the same table liftings, the same reading of sealed messages, the same levitation of bodies, the same ghostly touches, the same photographs of spirits that are produced by all the believers or practicers of spiritualism, ranging from the cheapest paid medium up to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Sir Oliver Lodge. "Take it as a fact, and put it down as a certainty, that all mediums who perform for pay are fakes," says Father de Heredia. "It is a business with them, and business is business. In business you find what your customers want and you supply it. There may be a few mediums who believe that they are actually accomplishing supernatural feats. If there are any of them, they are so few that they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. And if they are sincere in their belief, they are badly mistaken. For they are unconsciously performing perfectly natural feats—even though those feats may be a little bit unusual. "[ will be glad to produce any kind of physical and psychic phenomena that any of them can—and I'll produce it while you wait." Exposed Conan Doyle. In his studies and experiments. Fr. de Heredia has taken hundreds of photographs of "spirits"—the "ectoplasm" that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made a world-famous word when he otld of the photographs of ghosts that had been taken under circumstances that convicted him. he said, of their authenticity. When Conan Doyle visited the United States and toured this country lecturing on spiritualism. Father de Heredia followed the trail of the worldfamous English author and in a series of demonstratinos, explaining exactly how he did it. duplicated every feat thai Doyle heralded as a proof that the living can communicate with the dead. From boyhood Father de Heredia, v as interested in feats of "magic" and legerdemain. His father at their residence outside of Mexico City, interested in the boy's hobby, had him instructed by Herman the Great and other great professional magicians of the stage who visited Mexico. In the end the father built a miniature theater at their home, and from its stage young Carlos ile Heredia used to entertain the family and their friends with astounding feats of magic. Then when he entered the priesthood he was especially selected to explode the claims of the spiritualists, through his intimate knowledge of the tricks by which ghostly effects could he brought about.
