Alumnae Program The Alumnae association, headed by Mrs. Dario F. Ballina, president, presented a special program and welcome party to the graduates of 1938, Monday night, at 8 o'clock. Following a joint entertainment by the graduating class and alumnae under the direction of Mrs. Thomas B. Cleary and Charlotte Lozes, there was a reception in the college parlors. Those serving on the various Navy Day Program Presented Powerful Defense Assurance Against War, Contends Colonel Featuring an address by Lieutenant-Colonel R. E. Davis of the U. S. Marine corps, a Navy Day convocation was held in Marquette auditorium Wednesday morning, ; with the entire student body of i the college of arts and sciences present. The Rev. Terence A. King, S. J., serving as master of ceremonies, [ introduced the lieutenant-colonel as a graduate of the Marine corps school's fieljj officers' course; a graduate of the Marine corps ' school's fleet Marine corps course, and a graduate of the Naval War college in the senior course. With a greeting of "good morning" to all present, Lieutenant- Colonel Davis began his speech. He proceeded to outline the need of a navy second to none, giving the definition of defense as held by the active service men and discussing the policy of the United States concerning the "open door" policy and the Monroe doctrine. He continued by saying that the 1 world is divided into two distinct ' classes, the satsif ied and the dissat! ified. Belonging to the satified are ! the United States, Great Britain, iand France, and to the dissatisfied, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The countries mentioned ; jas satisfied have extensive means I for expansion. The others are dis-j I satisfied becaue of the evils of j birth control and emigration. Ger- i many, Italy and Japan were classi- | fied as having no opportunity for expansion and willing to accept war as a remedy for this congestion, he indicated. Lieutenant-Colonel Davis con- j eluded by stating that a strong na- j tional defense is an assurance against war and since the navy is the first line of defense, a strong navy will therefore serve as a security against war. Honor Frosh At Blue Key I Luncheon Four Scholarship Winners Guests of Service Fraternity Four men were honored Tues-1 day by the Loyola chapter of Blue Key, national honor service fra-1 ternity, at a luncheon given by the group, held at Arnaud's restaurant, I it was announced by John J. Mc- I Cann, president. These men, Albert Lacroix, Charles Gilbert, William Hogan and Michele Albena, received four: year scholarships from the organi! zation to Loyola, because their i high school records best exemplij fied the ideals fostered by Blue Key. -Steve Rodi, vice-president of the local chapter and chairman of the scholarship committee, acted as Ambitious Journalist Hides Dark Secret When school opened, red-headed Jack Jackson—no kin to "Stonewall," suh-B-selected the maximum number of journalism courses offered by the school, four in all. Explains journalistically inclined Jack: "You can tell the world that journalsim occupies the top spot on my routine at present." Spoken like a prophet, for the proverbial egg has hatched. Only the other day Jackson became a full-fledged reporter on one of the local dailies. With visions of lastminute "scoops," by-lines, and sensational features flitting before him, Jack has begun the serious business of helping to tell the world what's making it go 'round. "Scoop" But "Scoop" Jackson isn't the type who limits himself to one field. His enthusiastic versatility is matched only by the flaming red topnotch that protects his cranium from the elements. Jack is a musician of considerable merit;, having performed in many of the better-known hot spots of the nation while a member of several prominent dance i bands. Catchy tunes and snappy arrangements are right down his alley. He loves music and is a member of the Loyola band, the student swing band, and numerous other Tin Pan Alley organizations. We almost forgot, but Jack is a drummer from way back, one of the best in the South, many of his friends will aver. Poet Too Now comes the big surrpise. The "scooper" is also a poet, one of those guys who paints vivid word pictures of life's sweet mysteries. Jack's rather bashful when it comes to acknowledging his poetic ability, and blushingly he confessed that the poem, "Tale of the Rails," published in the Maroon, was penned by him in a very weak moment. Musician-poet-reporter Jackson has been a soldier of adventure and fortune. He likes to roam and investigate. No checked reins for him. Says Jack about his latest craze, "I know I'll like newspaper work because it will give me a chance to see more of this world and its many idiosyncrasies." NEW LIQHTS ALMOST EQUAL SUN AT STADIUM Loyola stadium, illuminated to almost daylight brilliance by the , new lighting system which has been acclaimed by many as the most powerful field-lighting arrangement in the world, is used more than ! any stadium in the state. Plainly visible under the 120,000 watts of | the lights may be seen the Loyola football squad in one of its night i practice sessions.  Illumination System Of Loyola Stadium Is Best In The Country Seating Arrangements Of Structure Are Also Improved That Loyola stadium is the best lighted football field in America has been proved beyond a doubt to the people of New Orleans after the two months that the new lighting system has been in use for all night prep school and college games in the city. With an increase of five or six times over the old system, the new lights have a total power of 120,- 000 watts, with the lights on a single side able to cast more illumination on the entire field than those of both sides of the old system. The new fixtures are such an improvement that they bid fair to boost night football in the prep and college loops to the highest standards in the country. Unknown Donor Erected at a total cost of $14,- 000, the system is a gift from some civic-m'inded patron of the university who prefers to remain unknown to the public.

'Tis Halloween, the night when eerie sounds and bewitching spectres fill the air, when the candle-lit pumpkin glimmers, and the Big Apple becomes the dunked apple. Along Loyola's fantastic front, ghastly Men of the South will min-1 gle with witches and alley cats ! while scared youngsters shriek for protection. There'll be parties ga-! lore, with lurking shadows and weird spirits (?). It's the night U after the L. S. U. game, so we ad-! vise all Tigers, Baton Rouge var- | sity or not, to beware lest the big bad ghosts quiet that Bengal appetite.We'll wax imaginary and haunt along with some of our more famous goblins-to-be.

"Ghost" Tregle becomes j "Scoop" Tregle and the Maroon j Loyolans Tigertown Bound Students, Y. M. B. C, Rooters to Leave On Special Train Saturday Evening Approximately 1100 football fans will hit the rails tomorrow when students, faculty, members of the Young Men's Business club, and friends and supporters of the university journey to Baton Rouge on a special Loyola train to witness the game between the Loyola Wolves and the Tigers of Louisiana State university. The special will leave tomorrow evening at 5:45 from the Illinois Central depot at Howard avenue and Dryades street. Round trip fare is priced at $1.60, with tickets on sale in the office of the regent and at the downtown ticket office, 726 Common street. In accordance with their plan of increasing football interest in New Orleans, members of the Y. M. B. C. have arranged passage on the special, and will occupy a large portion of the train. Admission to the game for all students of the university, whether or not they possess student books, will be 55 cents, if they obtain an identification card from the office of the regent. These cards are to be presented at Box 2 of the L.S.U. stadium, where the student tickets may be purchased. Students will be seated on the east side of the stadium, with a section reserved for a 70-piece Loyola band. For persons other than students, admission prices will be as follows: general admission in wooden stands in the end zones, $1.10; general admission in concrete end zone seats, $1.65; and reserved seats in the concrete stands on the 50-yard line, $2.50. Decorate Train The entire train will be decorated in Hallowe'en style, said Dr. Prescott Smith, yesterday. Pumpkins, black cats, witches, and Hallowe'en games will all add to the spirit of the trip. Plans have been completed to send the entire Loyola band up to the game, which will add considerably to the festivity on the special and to the color at the Sophomores: Me, I think the freshmen are a little too fresh this year. They should have more respect for upperclassmen, especially the seniors who have been at the university four years. I think they need a little more of real Loyola spirit, although I must admit they showed up pretty well at recent football contests. But something should be done about their attitude on the campus. They act like they own the place, although they've been here only two months. And in spite of the friendly spirit present, in the university, the freshmen must be made to realize that they have a place and must stay in it. We'd like to see what you sophomores can do in helping these freshies get not only spirit but the right kind of spirit, which would pervade campus life as it should. ME.
