Stephen Rodi and Earl Wegmann upholding divorce, have been named .by Father Burke to argue in place of Misses Thelma Mae Mouledoux and Dorothy McCloskey, who will not enter the discussion because of the retreat which closes at Ursuline tomorrow. John McCann and Harold Deßlanc are to argue in favor of marriage. Championing the cause of divorce Rodi and Wegmann will use practical and particular cases cited as concrete examples. Deßlanc and McCann will contend that since marriage is the means of the propagation and education of children, and because of its indissolubility, marriage is right and divorce wrong. An open forum after the discussion will follow, according to Mc- Cann, president of the philosophy club. McCann also announced that James T. Nix, Jr., will preside. Last Monday at 8 p. m. in Marquette auditorium, Robert A. Pascal spoke on "The Ethics of Stunt * Flying", giving the scholastic viewpoint of the end not justifying the means, and discussing the direct and indirect voluntary.

" It is the intention of the French club to invite Monsieur le Vicomte Rene de Montozon-Brachet, distinguished French lecturer, to address the members of the club and any others who may have an i Interest in French. In order to make this invitation possible, Father Soniat would like m to know how many students would be willing to attend the lecture. "It would be useless," said he, "and in a certain sense reflect discredit on the university, if an invitation were extended, and a very small number of students presented themselves for the lecture." At least seventy-five students will have to signify their intention Night Society Now In Debate Eliminations The Chief Justice O'Neill society, forensic group of the night school, will present the third in a series of elimination debates for the purpose of determining a team to meet representatives of the Edward Douglas White society later in the term, on Monday evening at 9 p. m. in Marquette auditorium, announces Robert Ainsworth, moderator of the night group.

Michelet and Gerald Quinlan will present the affirmative of the question "Resolved: That the Congress of the United States shall have the power by a two-thirds majority vote to override decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States declaring acts of Congress unconstitutional."The negative will be defended by Edward Hagerty and Willis McDonald. In last Monday's debate, the affirmative, argued by Alvin Crais and Benedict Capelle, was victorious over the negative, defended by Hugh Jones and John Luck. The question was "Resolved: That the Federal Government should own, operate and develop all hydro-electric plants in the United States, constitutionality waived." Perreten To Wind Up Lectures Today Paul H.

Friday Dunn and McCann Argue Affirmative of Question Engaging in the second intercollegiate debate of the season, representatives of the Edward Douglas White society will meet a team from Spring Hill college of Mobile tonight at 8 p. m. in Marquette auditorium, according to C. Cyril Broussard, president of the debating society. Thomas W. Dunn and John J. Mc- Cann will defend the negative of the national Pi Kappa Delta question for the local society, and Charles Miller and John Henry will present the affirmative for the institution.The statement of the proposition to be argued is: "Resolved, That Many Coincidences Discovered As St. Patrick's Day Arrives St. Patrick might not have chased all the snakes out of Ireland, but he certainly created quite a tradition, as is evidenced by gazing around on March 17. Scanning the campus, one can easily pick out the "Loyola Irishers" by the wearing of the green, or otherwise. Of course, if Kelly or Murphy is not wearing the green, we cannot condemn him, because there is always a certain percentage that will forget—even about St. Patrick's day. To John McCann goes the prize when St. Patrick's day rolls around, because dear old Mc was born on the venerated Saint's feast day. Aside from this, his name is John Jacob Patrick Also "Pat" McCann, peculiarly enough, has a birthmark on his right thigh which is shaped like a four-leaf clover. (If we had a camera handy, we would prove this to you.) And we have one more on "Irish" Mc- Cann (not birthmark), and that is that he lives on Dublin street in New Orleans. Patricia Chastant, sophomore in the college of music, can do her bragging too. She was born on March 17, named Patricia in honor of St. Patrick, and has just celebrated her seventeenth birthday. Another singular feature about Pat is that her telephone number, Uptown 0197, totals 17, and she lives at 4427 S. Robertson, the numerals, 4-4-2-7 also totaling 17. So surely St. Patrick is not disappointed with Patricia P. Chastant, who, counting the middle initial, has seventeen letters in her name. According to "Jenny" (slips, the typewriter did it) McCann, the wearing of the green is a recent 4th Event Of Trophy Series Set March 26 A basketball game to be played on the night of March 26 between the sophomores and freshmen will be the fourth event in the current series of Hausmann trophy events, it was announced by Irvin Timmreck, president of the student council. As things now stand the sophs are ahead 2-1, and a victory next Thursday will win the trophy for them. On the other hand, if the frosh win, the contest will be all tied up in a knot and it will be necessary to have some other form of playoff. The game will be held at 8 p. m. and admission will be free. In the first event, which was a tug-o-war, the sophomore class emerged victorious, as they did in the second event, a debate. However, the freshmen were the victors in the recent campus night. Safety Club Is Organized On Campus For Loyolans Sponsor Collection For Ryan Monument In view of a resolution adopted at its last regular meeting, the Loyola student council has decided to sponsor a collection of 5 cents per capita from each student of the university in partial contribution for the construction of a monument to the memory of the Rev. Abram J. Ryan, poet-priest-soldier of the South, it was announced by Irvin A. Timmereck, president. Born in Norfolk, Virginia, August 15, 1839, Father Abram J. Ryan, after completing his ecclesiastical education and serving as a missionary until the outbreak of the War between the States, enlisted as a chaplain in the Confederate Army, remaining in the ranks of the Gray until the conflict's close. His poetical works attained popularity throughout the entire South As a lecturer and author on religious subjects he was widely recognized. As a Southern war-time poet he won undying fame through his stirring lines, "The Conquered Ban ner" and "The Sword of Robert Lee". His death occurred at the Franciscan Monasetry, Louisville, Kentucky, April 23, 1886. McGovern Iβ Prexy; Lacey Iβ Appointed Vice-President The civic-minded Loyola students got together this week and took the initative among city colleges by forming the first collegiate safety club in New Orleans. The idea of the safety club is the result of a bit of reflection upon the recent (and still going strong) campaign against careless motorists by the New Orleans police department according to Milton McGovern, junior arts and sciences, who was named president of the arganization. • "Membership in the group is an implicit pledge to drive one's own car carefully, but also to remind other motorists of their responsibility," McGovern asserted. A weekly bulletin calling attention to various traffic ordinances that are, constantly broken or those of which the average driver is ignorant, will be posted. And from time to time meetings will be called if concerted action of the group is necessary. Lectures on traffic regulations and safety measures will be delivered by prominent civic leaders, if it can be arranged by the group, in the near future. The safety club has adopted a pin bearing the initials L. S. C. (Loyola Safety Club) on a white field. Although members are not required to purchase the pins, they are urged to do so in order to promote membership in the group. "The other motorist as well as the pedestrian has certain rights which the Safety Club can help to safeguard", the Rev. Martin Burke, S.J., head of the department of philosophy, stated when asked to comment on the ethics of the organization.A membership drive to have all Loyola students driving automobiles and any others who will frfibscribe to the purpose of the organization, enrolled in the safety club, has been started on the campus according to Milton McGovern. The officers of the organization are: Milton McGovern, president; Robert Lacey, vice-president; Bernard Ghio, secretary; Florence Chauvin, treasurer; Julius Meyer, parliamentarian, and Hector Bernadas, publicity director. Rehearsals Begun For Spanish Play Scheduled In May Sullivan, Fernandez In Feminine Lead Of Comedy Rehearsals for the Loyola Spanish club presentation "No Mas Mostrador" were started on Tuesday in Room 41 of Marquette Hall, under the direction of Joseph Abrahams, former Loyola student and at present teacher at Fortier High school, according to an announcement by Miss Jessie Montejo, moderator. The date for the performance has not been definitely fixed, as yet, but it will probably be given as one of the features of the closing weeks of school. The play, a two-act comedy by Jose de Larra, differs from the general run of such presentations, for it does not represent the modern school of comedy. In this instance, it is a comedy of the romantic type, slightly more delicate in its handling, but full of good humor. The complete cast has been selected, the club being fortunate in securing two capable and experienced girls for the feminine leads. They are Peggy Sullivan of Loyola and Carmen Fernandez of Ursuline college. The complete cast follows: Dona Bibiana -Carmen Fernandez Julia Peggy Sullivan Deogracias Robert Fransen Bernardo Antonio Sanchez El Conde del Verde Sauco  — Venancio Garcia Bordelo Louis Read Simon Marshall Tullier Francisco Herbert Waguespacke Gaspacio Wilfred Drewes Jockey John Bull 2nd Junior Recital Is Given Wednesday The second junior students' recital of the Loyola college of music was presented on March 18 at 2 p. m. in Ronald Mac Donald Hall, with Miss Evelyn Mae Durmeyer, pianist, as soloist. On the program were selections from Beethoven, Moscheles, Ferrata, and Chopin. Miss Durmeyer was assisted by Miss Cora M. Sadler. Chairman MARION J. LEDOUX Italian Club Meets At Home of Consul A practical conversation in Italian was conducted among the members of the Circolo Wednesday night at the home of the Italian consulate, according to Professor Antonio E. Papale, moderator of the club. This get-together was held as a means of familiarizing the students more thoroughly with the language as spoken in the home country. An Italian correspondence with students abroad has been started by the Circolo and 20 members of the group are taking part in it. Topics of the correspondence are the following: The People of Louisiana, the History of Louisiana, and Our Educational Institutions. Answers from the foreign students are expected in the near future. Rehearsals for the play 'Scherzi D'Amore', to be held in Marquette Hall on Sunday .April 26, at Bp. m., are progressing rapidly. Tickets are now on sale and they may be purchased from any member of the Circolo for fifty cents. SPECIAL MEETING There will be a special meeting of the Student Council Monday at noon in Bobet Hall, Irvin Timmreck announces. Micro-Projector Operated To Illustrate Slides To Students Students of the Loyola departments of biology, especially those students who axe members of the first year zoology and botany courses, will be able to cease tearing their hair and swearing beneath their breath. Yes, those little "bugs" and animals and plants which have proven so elusive on the slides and beneath the "mikes" and which, when finally sighted, seem to hide all or most of their distinguishing characteristics, have been cast into the "limelight." All of the most secret and personal portions of their respective anatomies are being revealed, and identified by a new gadget operated by Dr. John G. Arnold, head of the biology departments.This instrument staggers under the name of "micro-projector" and is responsible for a vast improvementimprovement in the laboratory work of the students. Until recently the slides were given out to the individual students, who then had to label their drawings from blackboard sketches and text book illustrations. Try as they might, the instructors and assistants could not possibly give individual instructions to the students, and the highly diagrammatic sketches and illustrations were not very useful in labeling the drawings. But with the introduction of these illustrated lectures a change has come about. The micro-projector, a machine somewhat resembling an ordinary motion picture projector with several large lenses, throws a picture on a screen about three feet square. It can be used with either Upper Class Ball At Country Club The New Orleans Country Club has been chosen definitely as the place for the annual junior-senior ball scheduled for May 1, it was announced this week by the committee in charge. Orchestras being considered for the dance are Gordon Hirst's, Roy Aultman's and others. Plans for an out-of-town name band have been dropped in favor of a local orchestra. A check-up on all members of the junior classes of the five schools and colleges was made during the week, and a definite report on the number intending to go to the ball will be made by the respective presidents at a meeting of the executive committee today at noon in Marquette auditorium. "Signification of intention to attend", Earl F. Wegmann, chairman, said, "must be placed at the earliest possible time. The favors, in all probability, will be bracelets mounted with the seal of the university and inscribed with the 'Junior-Senior Ball—1936'. All lato comers who let the committee know of their intention to go to the ball at the last minute will have to run the risk of not receiving favors in the event that the company cannot complete the order and deliver it in time. STAGE SET FOR CAMPUS NIGHT SUNDAY DANCING, SINGING, COMEDY ACTS TO FEATURE BIG SHOW Second Public Philosophy Discussion Is Scheduled For Monday Glee Club Has Novel and Varied Bill Prepared For Presentation at 8 p. m.

"It," sex unknown or unannounced, the chairman would not reveal which, 'will be the feature act. The act is intended as a surprise to everyone, including the chairman, if it goes on. Plans are being made to keep the identity of the performer or performers a secret even after the program. "What Can I Do Without You?" a new and original song written by VVessie Breaux, freshman coed in the college of music, will be used as the theme song for the campus program. The title and rumor (this has no foundation in fact, however) seem to indicate that the song has been copyrighted, but ter a rift with the boy-friend. The song has been copy-righted, but not the boy friend. Gwen d'Hemecourt, Gracie Allenish cut-up of the campus, will enact a role which fits her in real life.
