Series of Thesis Instructions Is Begun By Group Seferovich Gives Initial Talk To Commerce Club Dealing with the problem of bridging the gap between the producer and the consumer, and stressing the more technical side of this operation, George H. Seferovich, president of the newly organized Loyola Commerce club, was the featured speaker of the first regular meeting of the group Wednesday at 4 p. m. in Marquette auditorium. In his interesting and instructive resume, Seferovich used his thesis "A Description of Produce Lenten Season Robs Students Of Many Worldly Pleasures Praise be Lent and the giveruppers, especially the guys who give up smoking cigarettes—and bumming them. A representative poll taiken among the students by The Maroon to find out just what has been given up Tor Lent reveals that 98 per cent of those who gave up anything more serious than drinking chocolate sodas gave up smoking, and that 99 per cent of these are among the class that buy one pack of cigarettes a week and smoke seven. Oae of the more notorious bummers bought his weekly pack late Mardi Gras day after his good pals had run out of their supply and money. The next morning he sadly discovered that a good dozen smokes remained in the pack and while his intention was strong he very magnanimously offered them to a shocked friend. The same afternoon he was bumming these same cigarettes after failing badly to retrieve them. Next to abstaining from cigarettes the most popular form of self-denial is taking dates to the neighborhood show instead of to a night club. Some particularly strong-willed individuals have even given this up, determining to sit it out in the parlor, or, if the old man is too obdurate, phoning up some one with an automobile and riding up and down some street where there are no drug stores or road-side inns. In this way, they won't be tempted to drink anything weaker than a coca-cola, which they have also given up for the occasion. Habit, philosophers tell us, if sufficiently strong, overwhelms the reason and absolves the addict Engler Chosen To Fill Post On The Maroon Harry Engler, sophomore arts and science student, has been appointed to the position of assistant feature editor of The Maroon, according to an announcement Wednesday by Earl F.

Before delivering the car, the dealer telephoned the bank and was informed that Todd had an account good for the amount of the check. The stranger, a confidence man, immediately absconded with the car and has not been heard from since. On the same day, the car dealer deposited with its account in the same bank a sum of $3850 which included the check, and received credit for the deposit by an entry on its pass book. Later, on the same day, it was discovered that the check was forged and the bank immediately notified the dealer and claimed right to charge the item back on the account of thai company. The dealer denied this right and brings suit against the bank to recover the $1580 which was retained when the company drew its balance from the bank. The question of law to be argued is whether, on the agreed statement of facts, the bank Is liable to the dealer for $1580. Dental School Challenges Arts And Sciences To Campus Night One word led to another and the dental students of the university found themselves challenging the whole arts and science college to an evening of "College Night" entertainment. After the Hausmann trophy event between the sophomores and freshmen, several dental aspirants spoke their opinions frankly and freely among themselves. First the dental frosh, next the dental sophs and finally the whole department could out-entertain and amuse the arts and science school. The idea of keener campus competition appealed to the group and immediately (especially since the dental school was involved) a committee was selected to take charge of the contest and issue the first official contest challenge to their varsity brothers in the next building. Edward J. Driscoll, senior dental student, was named chairman of the dental campus night activity. Other members are Abram Diaz and Edward Camard, juniors dents, and Mark Carey, president of the sophomore dents.
