Led by the Loyola band, the old grads and present students will meet at the foot of Canal street at 10:30 and parade to the Saenger, winding along in the inevitable tortuous snake dance. Klieg lights and giant spotlights will play upon the scene as dignit«l ;c., and alumni are interviewed in a special broadcast to be conducted by station WWL; the foyer will reverberate to the strains of the Loyola band. Following the program in the lobby, the feature presentation will be shown in the theater proper, with cheers and songs to be rendered by the audience. Life Begins at College The picture, which will have a regular run a few weeks from now, is "Life Begins at College," starring the merry madcap Ritz brothers. At present the film is breaking attendance records in San Francisco, Philadephia, St. Louis, Washington, and other cities. Temple Black, editor of the alumni publication, Men of the South, has been mainly responsible for making arrangements for the event with Bob Blair, manager of the Saenger theater.

Morrow and Joseph Porter defeated Harold Ainsworth and Otis Dillon Wednesday night in the second of a series of intra-society debates sponsored by the Edward Douglass White society. The negative based their argument on the impracticability and thd undesirability of such a situation The winners were selected by a viDte of the audience. Final plans for the series of inter-class debates between the various classes of the university were formulated. This is intended to stimulate interest in debating on the campus.

Council To Decide On Discipline Idea Will Enable Students to Be Self-Governed, Says O'Donnell Breaches of discipline on the campus will be handled by the student council in the future, it was anounced Monday by A. J. O'Donnell, president. Any student judged by the council to have committed an intentional misdemeanor will be subject to suspension, O'Donnell stated. "This is simply the practice of self-discipline on the part of the student body," said the president of the council, "an effort of our own to make faculty supervision unnecessary, as it should be. A Loyola student should be well mannered and beyond reproach." Council to Aid Committee The student council will also work in conjunction with the dance committee hereafter to prevent outsiders from attending functions limited to student attendance. By combining their members they hope to prevent a repetition of the presence of outsiders as was evidenced at the last student dance, according to Richie Wright, chairman of the dance committee. Members of the student council are visiting the various high 'Cheese Court' Suppresses Sophomores Elated with suddendly-acquired dignity, blue and white-capped freshmen at Ursuline college revenged the "outrages and injustices" of the recent initiation period by summoning sophomores to a "cheese court" Wednesday afternon in the assembly hall. Featuring the annual "freshman day" was the bearing of a title of a specific kind of cheese by each second-year student, with the penalty to give interpretations of her "rat food" before the assembled yaarlings. Additional sentences to appear disfigured in dress and make-up were imposed by a judicial committee headed by Amelie Prados, and consisting of Louise Nix, Angela Jane Curry, Lois Manint, Myrtle Stock, Miriam Barnett, and Isabelle Robb. Mysterious warnings were posted around the campus early Wednesday morning, the sophomores finally being informed of their fate at noon, when a formal summons was given their class president on a platter of limburger cheese. Upperclassmen were invited to attend the court. Law Club To Stage First Moot Court Tuesday, Nov. 2, Set As Date; Pascal, Lapeyre To Be Attorneys The first moot trial of the year, sponsored by the St. Thomas More Law club, will be presented Tuesday, November 2, in the library of the school of law, it was announced Wednesday by Robert F. DeJean, chairman of the program committee. This first trial, which is an annual demonstration, will be staged for the benefit of the freshman law students, in order to acquaint them with the technique of appellate argument. Robert Pascal will be the attorney for the appellant and Felix H. Lapeyre will represent the appellee on the query: "How long will the civil effects of a putative marriage entered into in good faith last, when the innocent party subsequently learns of previous marriage of spouse?" The judges were selected from former graduates of Loyola, now prominent young attorneys of the New Orleans Bar association, Rehearsals For "Speed" Progressing "Speed," first presentation of the Thespians for this session, will be on the boards in a little less than three weeks, according to Dr. Alfred J. Bonomo, moderator of the society. Judging from the rehearsals of the group, the stage is set for this fast-moving comedy in three acts. Additional assignments for the play have recently been made, with Bill Cooke handling the technical arrangements, while George Medaille and Edgar Cavell will supervise the property work. In addition to those cast in "Speed," the presentation of "Wedding Spells" by the Holy Name Alumni association, scheduled for November 28, will find four Loyola Thespians in roles of varying importance. Joe Miranne, Peter Compagno, Harold Ainsworth and Singleton Neyland are those designated by Dr. Bonomo to take part in this play. "Doc" also announces that rehearsals for the next Thespian show, "Crooks for a Month," will start shortly after the presentation of "Speed."

Various college songs will be sung, including a new four-part arrangement of the alma mater. It was arranged by Dr. Walter von Kalinowski, professor in the department of modern languages, and will be rendered by male voices only. Grounds Superintendent: We wonder if it would be possible to cut the grass at a time when no classes are being held. It is awfully annoying to both students and professors to have a lawn mower motor put-putting around during an entire class lecture. This practice of cutting the grass during class time is really a nuisance during the warm weather when all windows are kept open. The noise almost drowns out the voice of the professor. We would appreciate any steps to stop this from occurring in the future.
