HAUSMANN SERIES DECIDED AS FRESHMEN LOSE, 45-26 Early Lead Taken By Sophomores Is Held Until Final Whistle; Carlsen, Soph, Captures High Scoring Honors. By Tom W.

From this point on the second year men held their lead and the half ended with the sophomores on the long end of an IS-8 score. During the second half the frosh came within four points of tieing the sophs, but the outstanding playing of Verderame, Martinez, Carlsen, Kattan and the remaining members of the sophomore squad was a little too much for coach Danny.

He was followed by Peter Beach, freshman, with 11 points and the third place scoring was split between the two squads with Charles Verderame, soph, and "Red" Pettingill, frosh, netting 7 points each. Peter Beach was outstanding for the frosh and his good playing was ably backed up by "Red" Pettingill, fighting Andy Reising, Dennis Lanahan and Vernon Loisel.

Misses Janet Riley and Elaine Kalman, the Ursuline representatives, will argue for the proposition that "Employers should pay a just wage to employees." Opposing them will be Julian Michel and Milton J. McGovern, juniors in the college of arts and sciences of Loyola. Misses Kalman and Riley will present exactly what a living wage should be. Michel and McGovern, will attempt to point out flaws in the opposition's argumentation. John McCann, president of the Forum, will act as chairman during the discussion. The previous discussion in which Loyola and Ursuline students participated was on the subject of First Aid Head Will Address Safety Club Dr. H. E. Bernadas, chairman of the first aid division of the American Red Cross, will address members of the Loyola Safety Club, a newly organized campus organization intended to promote saner automobile driving, on the practical aspects of first aid knowledge at a meeting of the club in Marquette auditorium, Monday at i p. m., according to Hector Bernadas, chairman of the publicity committee.

The public is invited to Morons Celebrate Annual Feast; Form Organization of "Foolers" With the idea of having April 1 take place twelve times during the year so that chronic morons will have better opportunity to express themselves, a new organization titled the Exalted. Brethren of Bigger and Better April Foolers has been formed on the campus, according to Eugene Kessler, temporary grand elevated moron. Kessler took time between placing Kick-me placards on the backs of unsuspecting students to deny charges that the society was established so that he could sell a story to a local newspaper. He emphasized that the primary purpose of the organization was to place a little originality in April Fool tricks. "For example," he said after kicking someone in the seat of his breeches, "instead of simply yelling at somebody that his coat is on fire when it really isn't, we Bee to it that it actually is on fire. In that way, more amusement is had by all." An innovation was placing placards studded with tacks on the back of student's pants so that if April Fool jockesters disregarded the Kick-me sign fun would still be had when the victim sat down. In order to squelch any possible squawk on the part of the victim, it was decided to have at least five brethren present when this experiment was performed. Another interesting experiment, as these jokes are called, concerns the favorite flower boutonierre in which a small tube filled with water is hidden and which is squirted with joy in the face of the flower lover who sticks his nose to the fragrant blossom.

America Great Because Of Fools, Avers Burns Congress President In Address Before Students "America is great because of its fools," Albert G. Burns, president of the National Inventors congress, stated in an address before a group of students of the college of arts and sciences in Marquette auditorium Monday morning. "The young inventors who are called 'nuts' and 'bugs' by people who do not understand them or their work, are the ones on whom we must rely if America is to keep pace with the great nations of the world," continued Mr. Burns. "The synthetic rubber manufacturing process, the system of producing fuel oil from garbage and other refuse, and artificial methods of silk production are only a few of the modern basic industries which have been perfected by men who were derided and avoided by people who considered them insane."Mr. Burns, who is here in conjunction with the New Inventions and New Products Exhibit sponsored by the congress at the Roosevelt hotel April 1-4, introduced as an example of one of his "nuts," Mr. Charles Miner, of San Francisco, said to be one of the greatest minds in the history of aviation in America. Mr. Miner has made possible a 36-hour-Californiato-New York-to-London trip, a feat hitherto considered impossible. His latest contribution along  lines has been an aircraft which is to have a cruising speed of over 600 miles per hour. "When we hear of inventions like this," remarked Mr. Burns, "we find it hard to believe that just about 50 years ago, people wanted to close the patent office. They thought that everything had been invented." However, this self-styled "Chief Dr. Coady Is To Lecture Today On Adult Education To Be In Holy Name Auditorium At 11:00 A.M. An address on adult education will be delivered to the students of Loyola university by the Rev. M. M. Coady, Ph. D., famous Canadian priest and educator from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, today at 11:00 a. m. in the Holy Name of Jesus auditorium, according to an announcement by officials of Mu Epsilon Delta, local honorary scholastic fraternity, sponsors of the talk. Father Coady is the man chiefly responsible for the wonderful success of the adult education program being sponsored by St. Francis Xavier university and the cooperative project promoted through its extension service. Both of these have attracted international attention and added to the already wide reputation of Dr. Coady. Dr. Coady has spoken in this country several times before and has addressed the convention groups of the cooperative league and of the National Catholic Rural Life league. Dr. Coady's program is founded upon the basic idea that adult education is the mobilization of the spiritual and intellectual forces of the people for the purpose of attacking the problems confronting them. This intellectual awakening is brought about through the medium of the small study club, educational rallies, special courses for leaders, and general regional conferences. The interest of the common people in such a program can only be aroused and sustained through appealing and energizing study material. It has been found that literature exposing the social and financial maladjustments of our times strikes the most responsive cord in the minds and hearts of our people.. Stephen B. Rodi, president of Mu Epsilon Delta, will introduce the speaker. George Seferovich, recording secretary, is in charge of the arrangements. The Rev. James A. Greeley, S.J. dean of the university and moderator of Mu Epsilon Delta, will preside at the assembly. All classes will be called off in time to allow the students to attend the lecture, it was also announced. « Students Run Out of Gas And Spend Night In Middle of Lake A group of Loyola students did a Robinson Crusoe last Sunday night and Monday morning, when a motorboat on a Mandeville-to- New Orleans trip was driven off its course and then ran out of gas six miles out from Shushan Airport.Leon Soniat and Johnny "Kit" Carlsen, Loyola sophomores, and Johnny Bruce, former Loyola student, left Mandeville about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, returning from an all day picnic at Carlsen's home, in the 26-ft motorboat Crusader, driven by its owner J. V. Bech of New Orleans. They expected to make the trip across Lake Ponchartrain in not more than four and, a half hours, and friends were told to notify the Coast Guard if they hadn't come in in that time. The party had hardly left sight of land when a stiff breeze began to blow them off their course. They struggled along, shipping a lot of water, and about 7 o'clock found themselves off Shushan Airport, about six miles out. With no water and only a few water-soaked sandwiches for food, they faced the prospect of a bad night, so in an effort to attract attention from the shore flares were set off by Mr. Bech. About 9 p. m. a heavy fog settled and then the flares were of no avail. Resolving to make the best of things they divided into two shifts, two working the bow and stern lights in S-O-S signals while the other pair tried to snatch off few hours of sleep on a bed of wet life preservers. In the meanwhile, their families and friends had been trying unsuccessfullyThespians Set Final Play For Stage May 28 "The Passing of the Third Floor Back", three act Thespian drama will be presented May 28, according to an announcement made yesterday by Dr. Alfred J.
