The program, one varied to suit any audience, is under the direction of a committee consisting of Robert F. Morrow, Edward Carey, and Marion Le Doux, chairman. A.P. Lauve Addresses Pharmacy Students A. P. Lauve, head pharmacist at Charity hospital, addressed the entire pharmacy college student body Monday at 10 a. m. in Bobet hall. The theme of Mr..Lauve's address was "The pharmacist on a hospital staff; his importance, responsibilities and duties". The important financial position a pharmacist may occupy on a hospital staff was emphasized throughout the lecture. Until recently many necessary preparations were but sparingly administered to patients at Charity hospital because of the high cost. Now that the hospital pharmacists compound these preparations, thereby lowering the cost, they are more freely distributed, Mr. Lauve said. Mr. Lauve also emphasized how necessary it is for pharmacists to impress their knowledge and integrity on the rest of the staff, for there must be a complete confidence between the doctor and the pharmacist. This was the first of a series of lectures which will be given every Monday at 10 a. m. in the pharmacy college. Various well known speakers. will be invited by the pharmacy school to deliver lectures on pharmaceutical subjects. Convention Set For April 19th April 19 has fceen set as the date of the «nnual sodality convention to be held this year in Bay St. Louis, Miss., it was decided at the meeting of the college council of sodalities Monday afternoon in the dean of men's office. De Ridder, La., last of the .Louisiana cities to be contacted in regard to accepting the yearly meeting, notified the council of its inability to do so because of lack of accommodations. With the acceptance of Bay St. Louis, the conveneion will be an interstate meeting instead of a Louisiana convention. There is the probability that Texas sodallsts will be invited if the invitation does not conflict with a, Texas state convention, the Rev. S. H. Ray, S. J., said Wednesday. The main work of the one-day convention will be to organize a central committee that will arrange for future annual meetings in order to avoid the difficulties that have been encountered in the past two years. A set program is being arranged and discussions on various topics will be taken up at the morning and afternoon sessions, Father Ray stated. The executive council in charge of the convention, as announced by Father Roy, includes Edward Driscoll, chairman; Marguerite Boudreaux, first secretary; Phyllis Elliott, second secretary; and Earl F. Wegmann, treasurer. A present, a drive is on by all campus sodalities to raise funds to send delegates to the national convention in St. Louis this spring. Freshman Classes Of University To Inaugurate Annual Dance FLORENCE CHAUVIN IRVIN A. TIMMRECK GAYLE PICKERING Many "Moons" Meander Around And About Athletics At Gym "Moons Over Loyola" might well be the( theme song of the Loyola Gym, for currently no less than three may be found arounXl it at various times during the /week. Ajnd it all began back in the dayii when Norman McHardy, now a resident of New Orleans, first met, one of his class mates in the Sprf.nghill prep school. He couldn't helii noticing that little Richard Ducijte was always laughing, and that, strangely enough, every time he tyughed his eyes seemed to disappear in his plump and freckled visagje. As, a result of this, Norman recliristened him "Moon Face" which was Sja.ter shortened to just plain "Mooa." Timl; passed, and the name "Moou" became more and more widely known in the field ot sports. Playing two years at Auburn, "Moon" . developed into one of the greatest individual football players the South has ever known. So great were his accomplishments that it was only natural for him to seek his future in the field of sports. After serving in the capacity of an official for some time, he was offered the post of athletic director of Loyola university last year, and he is at present filling that post, coaching basketball and assisting Coach Eddie Reed with football. Besides, "Moon" is still an active football official, having been elected president of the Southern Football Officials association last season. Throughout all this, it was only natural that the name "Moon" should cling to him, and therefore History Essay Contest Begun For Students An intercollegiate historical essay contest, sponsored by the American Catholic Historical society of Philadelphia, Pa., to foster interest in Catholic historical research, was begun on March 1, and will close at midnight, October 1, 1936, according to announcements by the society.

Boudreaux Bound To Bag "Big,9 Tennis Tourney Title Tuesday Loyola's sport scribes become a bit bodacious this week-end and pick a bound-to-win in the singles tennis tourney. Go ahead, scribes, call it. "Did you say 'Boudreaux', Dunn?" "Right you are, but the feature department "scooped you on this one." Tuesday afternoon on the courts of Audubon Park this prediction must surely be realized and the sports staff ought to be happy. They could write this story up before the deadline If they wished. For on that day Joseph Boudreaux and Clay Boudreaux, both freshmen on the campus, will battle for the singles championship in the tourney sponsored by the Loyola tennis club. Although the two freshmen are not related, each will be upholding tlie honor of the name Boudreaux and trying to take home "the old silver goblet" on display in the bookstore. Tennis fans, who have been following the tournament, lean toward the choice 6f Clay, who jn 1931 won the singles championship in Thibodaux, La. Joe, on tlTe other hand, is not without his (supporters. Chief among them is his brother, Ray, varsity footballer, who has twice reached the finals in previous Loyola tournaments. Both singles finalists have entered the doubles tournament (scheduled to begin this week-end. Joe and Clay are not paired together to the great satisfaction of other entrants. So Joe and Clay may again clash in the doubles if they can carry their teams as they successfully carried themselves. MAHONEY AND TIMMRECK IN BATHE FOR MOST POPULAR Bobet Hall Vote Decides Title in Favor of Mahoney; Seven Others Chosen In Annual Contest Conducted by Student Council. The eight "most" students of Loyola university were chosen by the student body in the finals of the annual popularity contest Wednesday, when between 350 and 400 ballots were cast during the noon hour. The contest was a see-saw affair in the five schools and colleges with only the two offices of most handsome and most popular being what might be termed a "walk-away". The total vote was equal to that cast last year and slightly higher than the average in previous years. Lionel Mahoney, sophomore arts and science student, garnered Bix votes in the college of pharmacy, school of law and school of dentistry, barely enough to nose out Irvin A. Timmreck, junior arts student, for the title of most popular male student, 99 to 93. Mahoney had an advantage of 42 in the arts and science college over Timmreck, with Cyril Broussard tagging close behind with a total of 42 votes. Timmreck gained 10 in the music college vote over Mahoney and Broussard bolstered his total by 9. In the vote from Bobet hall, Timmreck came in strong with 32 to give hi ma total of 93 and Mahoney polled 6 to give him the title. Broussard ran his score to 71 and' Henry Beter trailed the list with 43. What Timmreck lost in the popular vote he gained in the most, active to win the title with 144 ballots over Harold Juge, his nearest opponent with 91. Earl F. Wegmann came third with 65 votes in his favor from the five departments.Gayle Pickering, sophomore collegeBabst Elected 'Best Dressed, For sth Time Upholding a tradition established sometime around the beginning of the present decade, Loyojo university students marched to the polls Wednesday during the noon hour and voted Larry Babst, senior law student, as the best dressed man on the campus for the fifth time in seven years. If Larry didn't come in winner during one of the years that the contest was conducted it wasn't his fault. Probably the blame can be placed upon capricious students who took the contest as a joke that year and voted for such popular Loyolans as Nellie the Mare, Mathilda, and Mae West. Just who will be votfed next year as the best dressed is a matter of speculation, as Larry is slated to graduate this year. College Of Music Presents Recital The fourteenth Wednesday recital of the Loyola college of music was presented on March 11 at 2 p. m. in Ronald Mac Donald Hall. Featured on the program were Miss Florence Fitzmorris, Chester Wicker, Cecilia Simon, and Anna Giuffria, pianists. Selections from Beethoven, Bach, Cyril Scott, Mac Dowell, and Schumann were played.
