Chief Justice; John SchilKci and Clarence Aycock, Associate Jus- Sympathetic Student Collects Funds To Buy Milk for Feline "Be kind to dumb animals" is Harry Engler's motto. At least so It seems after an amusing and pathetic incident that took place on the Loyola campus last Tuesday."Kitty,"—as would be the natural cognomen for an animal of the feline species—wandered up to the entrance of the Gothic grill. Cold, cripple and hungry, it presented a most "sympathy-inspiring" sight. It was the picture that would tear at the heart strings of any normal, animal-loving human being, so Harry, being unable to suppress his emotions any longer, picked the petite animal up into his arms and carried him into the cafeteria. Engler, suffering from depressed finances, began taking up a collection for the hungry animal, and ultimately amassed a fortune of five cents, the exact amount to buy the poor creature a glass of milk. The milk was poured out Into the saucer. The sick, poor, morbid looking creature hobbled up to the milk on its three good legs. Its head went down into the plate. Back up again, licking its lips, and one could almost see the happiness that came over the animal. Into the milk again, staying there until almost all was gone, and the cat, revived, warmed, fed, and with a new outlook on life, tripped around the hall like a bird first learning to fly. Besides Engler, Al Maher and Lloyd Clancy were also champions of the cause of the Humane Society of Loyola. Harry Engler, however, waa the instigator of the project. Later in the day, the boys tried to give the cat some coca-cola, but being "choosy" about his food, "Kitty" refused the bottled drink. Today the cat was seen around the campus, and around the cat were seen a number of co-eds, so if any of the "eds" like to Band Planning Benefit Dance Friday, Dec. 6 As a means of raising money for new uniforms, the Loyola university band is sponsoring a dance to be held in the Convention hall of the St. Charles hotel Friday, December 6, from 9 p. m. to 1 a. m., Marion LeDoux, chairman ot arrangements, announced.

It is the intention of the band to have new uniforms for next football season. Students Date-Conscious, Says Cynical Arts Senior Outlines Changes In Date Taste of 8 Years Men may not be style-conscious, but they certainly are "date-conscious", according to a cynical arts senior who requested that his name not be published. "About a year and a half ago", he said, "we began to notice that college men were drifting away from the silly, romantic type of girl who liked to sit under the moon and babble about the birds, the trees and the night. They began to swing toward a more sensible type—a type that could provide, during the course of the evening, a little intellectual enjoyment.""Eight years ago, after the generations of mankind had passed through the Stone, Bronxe, Iron and Steel Ages, the college youths of the country inaugurated the "Whoopee Age". That was when vlde-bottom pants, checkered coats, loud ties and hip-flask came into vogue. With these innovations came the short skirts, tightfitting blouses, and over-indulgence in lip-stick, rouge, mascara and eye-brow pencil. The collegiates considered it a step forward, but their elders looked upon it as a return to the primeval. Parties were the thing in those days— boisterous, cain-raising brawls— and the colleges of the country fell into disrepute as dens of inquity rather than institutions of learning and erudition. "At first, any kind of party, rer gardless of price or place, would do, but then the more ambitious of the sister population began to take their brothers for all they had, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The more they could get the happier they were— and the more broke their dates were. She was the "gold-digger" type that has been both eulogized and anathematized by contemporary playwrights, authors, and artists. She was the talk of the town, the play thing of the play boy, the scourge of the campus. When Reuben came to town she took him, when the hill-billies of Manhattan came out to play she put on Pharmacy School In Vocational Program The Loyola college of pharmacy has been selected to take part in the Vocational Guidance program, which will be held at Eleanor Me Main High School on the night of December 3.

Dean McCloskey will make an address entitled "Pharmacy As a Vocation." The program will be illustrated by various charts and graphs. A pharmaceutical display is now on exhibition in the pharmacy department. This display is being presented through the courtesy of the Upjohn Pharmaceutical Co., of Kalamazoo, Michigan. C. J. Viger, the local representative, made the presentation. First Moot Trial Of Year Saturday In Civil Court Nine Law Students In Mock Suit For Damages The first moot trial of the year. Involving a case of torts, will be conducted in Judge Byrnes' division of the Civil District court in Royal street tomorrow at 7:30 p. m., according to plans made known yesterday by Mose Scharff, professor in the law school and director of the moot courts. Henry C. Vosbein and John N. McKay will present the arguments in support of the plaintiff, while Emile Wagner and John Connolly will represent the defense. All of counsel are senior law students. John Smith, local attorney, will preside as judge. Witnesses who will participate in the trial are Charles Cabibi, the plaintiff; Lawrence Babst, a doctor; Lyria Dickason and Stanley Wagner co-defendants; and Lillian Simpson, nurse of the co-defendants' child. The facts in the case are that the plaintiff's truck was parked out on the road in Audubon Park, the rear end extending approximately seven feet into the road on a turn, which is in violation of a city ordinance. The defendant, Lyria Dickason, was driving her automobile into Audubon park at an excessive rate of speed. Her baby, riding in the front seat with her suddenly grabbed the wheel, when the car was a distance of forty feet from the plaintiff's truck, thus causing the mother to lose control of the car. Before the defendant could regain control, her car had run into the rear of the truck, striking and injuring the plaintiff's leg, which was overhanging the rear of the truck. The public is invited to attend. Pianists Featured In Music Recital The fourth Wednesday recital of the Loyola college of music was presented on November 20 at 2 p. in. in Ronald Mac Donald hall. Miss Katherine Kearny, pianist, and Miss Amelie Points, pianist, were featured on the program. Selections from Beethoven and Heller were performed. Students Create Liquid Light In Novel Chemistry Experiment A strange light glimmered in a darkened room of Bobet hall one night last week when, for the second time in the South, an experiment in liquid illumination was performed by two Loyola students in conjunction with a program of the Chemistry club. Facing each other across a table, Fulcran Randon and his brother Paul aimed spray guns containing liquid solutions so that the chemical spray from each would meet several feet from the muzzles. Upon the sprays coming Into contact in the darkened room, a purplish blue light glowed evenly and threw its ghastly hue over the faces of the interested observers.'The light was so bright," Paul Randon declared, "that if it had been necessary a photograph could have been taken of the experiment without the aid of any other light." One of the observers remarked that the light looked very much like the concentrated essence of lightning bug or sea water phosphorescence. In the course of the experiment, one of the demonstrators placed his hand in the spray and for several seconds the outline of the hand could be seen waving in the darkness. In conclusion, a towel was saturated with a fresh solution of the liquids and wrung out in the darkness. A miniature fire-works display resulted when drops of liquid light splashed into a receptacle. How was the light created? Well, if you are a two-syllable man, you'd better skip the explanation. The light was the result of the oxidation of 3-aminophthalhydrazide, known to simple minds as luminol. One spray gun contained a solution of,—well, luminol in a five percent solution of sodium hydroxide and the other was fflled with potassium ferricyanide solutlonNominees For "Who's Who,, To Be Selected Action has been taken by the student council to secure the names of the students most outstanding in extra-curricular activities on the campus, so that they can be published in the "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities", Irvin A. Timmreck, president of the council, reported this week. The individual class representatives were directed at the council meeting Tuesday to pick out the men in their respective classes who in their estimation deserved notice in "Who's Who". At a special meeting held yesterday noon in Bobet hall the names were submitted and taken under consideration for approval. Final approval will be passed by the faculty, Timmreck said. The second issue of the college "Who's Who" will appear in February, according to H. Pettus Randall, editor. It was originated last year and is published at the University of Alabama. Each college in the United States is entitled to a certain proportion, according to its registration. Last term, eight Loyolans were listed.
