J., president of the university, is reported to be well along the road to complete health following an operation during the Christmas holidays for the removal of an oyster shell sliver which lodged in his throat. He is expected to return to his duties within the next week or two. The accident occurred Christmas day while Father Hynes was eating dinner and the small but sharp sliver of oyster Bhell lodged deep in his throat. It was not thought at first to be serious, but close examination and X-rays showed an operation to be necessary. The bit of surgery was performed and the troublesome sliver, which caused Father Hynes' condition to be critical for a time, was removed. Father Hynes is still in a rather weakened condition and is not allowed many visitors. He is convalescing at Hotel Dieu. Copies Of Student Directory On Hand The Loyola university student directory, with the names , addresses, and telephone numbers of all students registered at the university, together with those of the faculty members of all departments, is now on the campus, according to Harvey A.

About 400 have been sold to date, according to Poret, but 200 more must be sold to cover publication expenses. Socialists Make Pilgrimage In Honor Of Blessed Mother Meeting in common devotion to Our Lady of Prompt Succor, over 1000 high school and college sodalists crowded into the Ursuline college chapel Wednesday at 4:30 p. m. and intoned the words of the hymn "Hail Mary Queen of Heacen", as a mark of gratitude for the miracle she worked by which she turned the tide of battle in favor of General Jackson's Kentucky backwoodsmen in the battle of New Orleans 121 years ago. The statue which figured in the ceremonies was the original one before which the Ursuline nuns prayed during the battle. General Jackson's forces, made up of Kentucky long-riflemen, Barataria pirates, and New Orleans Creoles, were being badly beaten, and the city threatened by the plunder-bent Englishmen under Pakenham's leadership. The pious nuns quietly offered up their prayers to Our Lady and asked for her aid. Miraculouslly, the battle changed in favor of the Americans and the English were routed. Following the hymn, a sermon was delivered by Reverend Frederick Macdonnel, S. J., pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. i esides relating the events concerning the Battle, he recounted how a fire which threatened the college 20 years ago was extinguished when a medal was thrown into the flames and caused the wind which was sweeping the building to blow in the opposite direction.Following the battle, the statue which figured in the miracle was crowned by Pope Clement VIII, it being one of the few statues of Our Lady so adorned. A new crown was put on it by Pope Gregory Second Dance By Band Scheduled For January 31 Floor Show To Feature Affair; No Place Set The second band dance, this time featured by a floor show, will be held on January 31, from 9 to 1 o'clock at a place to be announced later, according to Marion Le Doux, manager of the band. Music will be furnished by Rene Louapre and his orchestra. It is hoped that the proceeds from this dance, together with the proceeds from the first and contributions received from interested persons, will be sufficient to buy lew uniforms tor the entire band. "The turnout for the first dance," said Marion Le Doux "showed that the students are interested in the activities of the band. We think that an even larger crowd will turn out for this dance." The new unirorms will consist of military, open-neck coats instead of the capes now used. The coats will be maroon in color, enlivened by golden Sam Brown belts, and gold braids. An insignia denoting rank will adorn the right sleeve of each coat. Caps will be maroon in color With a gold plume and a gold leather band resting on each visor.

Post-Xmas Joy Diminished By Coming Exams m Students of the university returned from the Christmas vacation period to be confronted with the ordeal of mid-term examinations which are scheduled to start this month.

Bentley Byrnes, Law Graduate Of Loyola, in Rare Court Case ' Bentley G. Byrnes, graduate of the Loyola law school and professor of pharmaceutical jurisprudence in the Loyola college of pharmacy, appeared before the United States Supreme court yesterday by special permission.

The rules provide that counsel appearing before the Federal court must have three years of experience. He obtained permission by agreement of other attorneys. The case to be heard is that of the Violet Trapping company against Lucille May Grace, register of the State Land office. It involves 90,000 acres of valuable trapping land in St. Bernard parish.

The Fed; eral court at New Orleans issued ■ an injunction in 1932 which was made permanent in 1933. In Octoi ber of the latter year trappers in St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes organized their union and elected Albert Gonzales as president.Gonzales was president only sev eral weeks when he was arrested and charged with shooting into a dwelling, a capital offunse lit was refused bond, but Mi Byrne took the case to the stiite Supreme court by writs and Gonzales was grunted Council To Rule Activity Dates At the last meeting of the student council held Tuesday, tentative plans were made for the organization of a central booking office to avoid conflicting dates of university activities.
