Campus Adorned by Many Sights As Frat Initiations Go In Swing Lack of razors and blades is not the reason for several students being seen fcround the campus with beards/as long as a "House of David" fliortstop. No, it's Just fraternity f initiation rules. For two week* before final initiation rites, thefboys are not allowed to shave. Most of the ritual of the initiations isi'kept within the closed annals off the fraternities. However, certain I "most-embarrassing" at the sanlp time ludicrous incidents inform Ithe world-at-large that such inflations are taking place. The boVs of Alpha Delta Gamma had their) fun last Saturday after the Jesuits-Eastan football game. Each pledfee begged, borrowed, or stole a cat with a blue ribbon to start his collection. Other things on the list were a white mouse, a live frog, and a dead fish. With all of this awe-inspiring paraphernalia, the boys were stationed on very prominent corners of the city to attract the attention of passers-by, giving them no end of enjoyment. Andy Reising and George Gagnet, stationed at Broadway and St. Charles, had such an enjoyable time that they fell asleep. Jimmy Salvant, who was at Broadway and Maple with Buddy Frick, was much perturbed because his cat insisted on eating his dead fish. George D'Hemecourt was at Broadway and Claiborne admiring the work being done on the Claiborne Student Dance In Honor of Football Men Slated for Thursday at Embassy Sidney's Orchestra To Furnish Music from 9 to 1 "Santa Claus is coining to town.,' And the last student dance of 1935 is on tap, promising to be the last big, event of the year.

Night Co-Ed Goes To Hollywood; To Be Known As Wilma Francis The Loyola night school coeds seem to have a method of crashing the head lines. Last year Marie Louise Reynolds, former night editor of the Owl section of the Maroon, unexpectedly left town on Captain Rickenbacker's famous "dawn-to-dusk" flight. Now Wilma Sareussen, night school student, is going to Hollywood to crash the movies. Wilma Sareussen has been named as one of the five Louisiana girls who will go to filmland with a three month contract during the time of trial, according to Ben Piazza, Paramount scout who came to New Orleans searching for talented young actors and actresses."Miss Sauressen will adopt the name of Wilma Francis for screen purposes. She is a striking Nordic type. Her father •was Norwegian and her mother French. She is just the type for splendid photography and I look for her to develop under the guiding hand of Hollywood dramatic experts," Mr. Piazza, who has interviewed approximately 150 boys and girls a day, asserted. Wilma expects to leave New Orleans shortly after the Christmas holidays. Once in Hollywood, she intends to get down to the real business of understanding what movie-fans want to watch. She will be trained in the Paramount Dramatic Training school under the guidance of Phyllis This Is Aubrey John J. McCann, who takes the leading role as Aubrey Piper In the Thespian production the "Show-Off" -which will be staged Sunday and Monday at 8 p. m. in Holy Name auditorium. McCann is president of the Thespian society and has been very active in dramatics during the past three years. His part in the sterling performance of the "Ninth Guest" last year gave rise to much favorable comment. In his present role McCann is seen as a boisterou, egotistical, know-it-all and guarantees the audience many laughs.
