Denit Medical Officer Urges Seniors To Join Reserve Officer Corps Lieutenant Colonel Guy B. Denit of the United States Army Medical Corps addressed the senior class of the school of dentistry Wednesday in room 208, Bobet hall. The visit was made in an effort to encourage members of the senior class to enlist in the Reserve Officers Corps, United States Army, medical division, dental unit. The immediate attainment of the rank of first lieutenant and subsequent promotion in case of war are among the benefits to be obtained from such enlistment, Colonel Denit told the students. Enlistment is for five years and re-enlistment is in lieu of previous two-week encampments along with the proper correspondence with the War Department, he said. Dr. A. C. Broussard, professor of dental histology in the school of dentistry, introduced the speaker. Twelve members of the 1937 graduating class received their commissions and it is thought that this number will be more than surpassed in the present senior class.

Bourg, popular yell leader for the [ past two years and senior medical technology student, has been ' chosen one of the maids for the ! annual New Year's Eve ball, the Rev. F. L. Janssen, S. J., faculty director of student activities, announced recently. The affair, co-sponsored by the New Orleans Athletic club and the Mid-Winter Sports association, is part of an extensive program being arranged for the horde of vis- I itors expected to flow into the city ' for the Sugar Bowl classics. The i scene is the Municipal auditorium, and according to advance reports, this year's function, patterned after the fashion of our colorful Carnival balls, will be the most glamorous yet staged. Representatives from various universities and colleges throughout the Southland will present a brilliant pageant, culminating in the crowning of the Sugar Bowl Queen. This lucky young lady, to be named from the maids, has not been selected as yet. A floor show and other topnotch attractions will round out a well balanced program for the night. Cheerleader Pretty, brown-haired Catherine, Loyola's only delegate, was designated by the faculty and students of the university because of her excellent scholastic record and great popularity. Her valiant efforts as cheerleader will always remain in the minds of every Loyolan, and it seems fitting that she should be so honored by the university and the Midwinter Sports association. Katy is thrilled by it all and expectantly awaits the advent of the holiday season.

Mr. Chase, whose topic was "Art in the Newspaper," described, step by step, the processes involved in newspaper pictures, illustrating each step with a rapid sketch on the blackboard. He explained the importance of good pictures in daily papers as an aid to the full coverage of the news, asserting that "you can tell a news story with a good picture and a concise cut line." A cut line is that portion of printed matter appearing below every picture and explaining it to the reader. Action must be shown in cartoons, he said, displaying some of his work appearing in The Item Frosh, Sophs In Hausmann Trophy Debate Personnel of Teams to Be Chosen This Week By Elimination Representatives of the sophomore and freshman classes will meet in a debate December 22 for the second Hausmann Trophy event of the year, according to Louis Wilson, chairman of the se• ries.

Math Expert To Address Convocation Dr. Finkelstein, Calculating Genius, To Appear December 15 Acclaimed as the world's greatest calculating genius, Dr. Salo Finkelstein, Polish mathematician and lecturer, will demonstrate his accomplishments to students and faculty of the university at the last convocation of the semester, Wednesday, December 15. The convocation will mark the end of the enforcement of freshman rules, which have been in effect since the beginning of the present school year, according to the Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., dean of faculties of the university. The annual donation of funds for the aid of the Community Chest will also be made by the students at this gathering, it was announced. Dr. Finkelstein has been praised by leading educators and psychologists throughout the world for his rapidity, accuracy, and powers of memory in his various experiments with numbers. He is also famed for his ready wit and his psychological explanations of his ability to do ! almost anything with figures. Perhaps the most incredible of all his acomplishments was his feat of calculating the 1932 presidential election returns for the Columbia Broadcasting system as rapidly as the figures came in from all parts of the country. So rapid were his calculations that he outstripped the operators of tabulating machines with plenty of time to spare. A graduate of the University of Warsaw, Dr. Finkelstein has lectured in his native Poland, in France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries in Europe. In the United States he has spoken at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, George Washington, Western Reserve, and many other universities and high schools throughout the country. Pharmacists To Close Display Today seniors and juniors in the college of pharmacy close their three-day display of prescriptions, presented at the convention of the Southern Medical association in the Municipal auditorium. Approximately 30 prescriptions compounded by students of the college were displayed in connection with the Charity hospital display. Arrangements for the demonstration were made by Dean McCloskey with Mr. Louvre, head pharmacist at Charity hospital and president of the Louisiana State Pharmaceutical association, who supervised the Loyola-Charity hospital display. To The Deans: Me, I think it would be a splendid thing if you would exempt seniors from the writing of the second term paper required in the first semester. As most of the work on theses is done during the first semester, this is the logical time to cut down on written work to be done by the fourth-year men. The exemption now granted in the second semester would be much more practical if also applied to the first semester, because of the new time rules in effect this year.
