              THE MAROON Volume XV LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA.,. DECEMBER 10, 1937 No. 13 University Band Presents Annual Winter Concert Several Solos Feautre Ist Classic Recital of Year; to Play in Holy Name Auditorium The regular winter concert of the Loyola university band will be presented Sunday at 8 p. m. in Holy Name auditorium, under the direction of Professor Michael Cupero.The concert is the first of two annual programs presented by the band during the school year, the second being scheduled for the early spring, according to the Rev. George Francis, S.J., moderator. The program Sunday will be opened with the Loyola Alma Mater, and brought to a close with the national anthem. Featured in the concert will be a rendition of the "Three Kings" by a cornet trio composed of Edward Dusson, Tom Kelly and Anthony Valentino. A clarinet solo by William Simno, playing "Somnabula Fantasia," will also be heard. (Boasting some of the best musicians in the city, the band relies on its semi-annual concerts to demonstrate its efficiency as a conj cert orchestra. The clarinet section is especially outstanding, according to Professor Cupero, who ranks it as "one of the best." In an attempt to enliven interest in classical and refined music, the program Sunday will consist of Pardo, Moses Elected Soph Council Heads Plans For Cotillion Dominate Discussion At Meeting Of Group Henry Pardo was elected president, and Ann Moses secretary of g the second sophomore council at * a meeting of all sophomore officers of the university Friday in Room 33 of Marquette hall. Pardo is president of the sophomore arts and sciences class, and Miss Moses is head of the secondyear music school students. The sophomore cotillion, annual class function, was discussed, but no definite about the affair were revealed. It was indicated that it will be a greater success than any preceding, because of the enrollment and great spirit. mAll sophomores are urged to turn in their money as soon as definite plans are announced. Classes Vote No Split Of Annual Ball Junior-Senior Question To Be Decided By « Council There will be no separation of the annual Junior-Senior ball, it was indicated late this week at the completion of straw votes in all junior and senior classes of the university with the exception of the senior class in the school of dentistry and the junior class in the school of law, where no votes were taken. Results of these straw votes, although having no direct bearing on the ball situation, will, in all probability, have a strong influence on the decision the stu- dent council, which body will have final jurisdiction in the matter before faculty approval is granted. Council Deadlocked At a meeting of the council Sunday morning, prior to the completion of the class polls, a twohour discussion dealing with the ball situation resulted in a deadlock and no decision was rendered. However, at the next meeting of the council members, to be held early next week, an order vetoing the petition of the junior council for a separate junior class dance is expected. This belief is based on the general results of the class votings, which as a whole, favor a continuance of the annual function given by the juniors and seniors together. It is also based on a statement of A. J. O'Donnell, Jr., president of the student council, made at a meeting of the combined junior and senior classes in the college of arts and sciences held Monday in room 31, Marquette ha)l, when he asserted that "The decision of the student coun- ACTIVITY CALENDAR FRIDAY.

Participating in the debates were Sam San Marco, Joe Bourgeoise, Joe Henderson, Leslie Schroeder, Albena, Weigant, Allain and Mertzweiller.

Eberle of the English department. The society is one of the largest of its kind in the world, having units in most of the important cities of the United States and Canada.Professor Eberle began negotiations for the establishment of a unit at Loyola, which will serve the entire city, following a request from John Gilland Brunini, national executive secretary of the C.P.S.A., and editor of the society's official magazine, "Spirit." Response Splendid Following a talk he delivered before a group of 75 students at Ursuline college in which he outlined the functions of the society, Professor Eberle remarked that the response was splendid, approximately 30 of his listeners expressing their desire to join the new unit. A meeting of all persons interested in joining the society will be h?ld Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in Marquette auditorium, when plans will be discussed for the formation Math Society To Pick S.I.M.A. Team A full team composed of members of the Rene Descartes mathematics society will compete in the annual intercollegiate examinations sponsored by the Southern Intercollegiate Mathematics association, Lawrence Strohmeyer, president, announced Tuesday.

'Varieties' Begins At 8 Tonite By Peter C.

A 1 Doussan, golden-voiced tenor of the recent Ur* Colleges Push Plans For 2nd Christmas Sing Event Set for December 22; Glee Club To Take Part With representatives from all departments of the university and from Ursuline and Dominican colleges participating, the second annual Christmas Carol Sing will take place Tuesday, December 21 at 8 p.m. under the auspices of j the Loyola Musiciety. Flood lights will be directed on ' the singers, who will stand on the J steps and parapet of Marquette hall, and the cedar tree will be illuminated with vari-colored lights. The Loyola Glee club will assist the carol singers in two selections, "Gesu Bambino" and "Silent Night." Albert Doussan, tenor, | and Marguerite Luft, soprano, will be soloists. A public address system will be used. Co-chairmen in charge of the Carol* Sing are Iris Mae Frisch, songs, and Helen D'Antoni, production.'Tiger' O'Toole Loyola's Ace Advertising Agent "Shades of Barnum and ballyhoo."That1 s what Loyolans are saying about Buddy "Tiger" O'Toole, senior arts with a yen for the cinder path. Short, chunky Mr. O'Toole, as Irish as they come, has quite a bit of publicizing to do for several campus organizations. He's secretary of the Commerce club and publicity director of the juniorsenior sodality, which means that he is a very busy young man. "Advertisers," explains Buddy, "have come and gone . . . but the fellow with a knack for novelty and originality is always a comer." The secret of his success was occasioned by a lack of interest on the part of the Commerce club fellows in attending meetings. Discovery Is Made Secretary O'Toole hastened to the rescue with an idea that was to prove a "humdinger." From an old copy of the Maroon he scissored a large picture of Captain Clay Calhoun, line plunger de luxe, and pasted it on a piece of white cardboard. The caption, which was a real eye-catcher, read: "You all know this man but . . ." There followed an announcement concerning the next meeting of the orgainzation. That was the beginning of Tiger O'Toole's exploits as an advertiser. In quick succession came similar masterpieces, most of them dealing with sodality programs and gettogethers. Punch, originality, and sensationalism were evident. Colossal,' stupendous, different, catchy—were only a few of the cinema-like adjectives used to describe trackster O'Toole's ingenuity. When asked how he did it Buddy said: "Well, most of my ideas originate in bed before slumber-time. After I get an idea the rest is a cinch." Thus did he earn the name "champeen ballyhooer of the university." For better and bigger ideas see "Tiger" O'Toole, track man, student, and advertising agent. Dr. Finkelstein To Address Students, Faculty Wednesday Freshman Rules End At Last Convocation Of Semester; Students To Give To Chest Displaying the accomplishments, wit, and learning which have caused him to be called the world's greatest calculating genius, Dr. Salo Finkelstein, famous Polish mathematician and lecturer, will address students and faculty of the university at the last general convocation of the semester, Wednesday at 11 a. m. in Holy Name auditorium. Dr. Finkelstein has amazed the leading scholars and scientists of the world with his rapidity and accuracy in working with numbers, and is especially noted for the brilliant psychological explanation he gives for his abilities. His speed and powers of memory have astounded audiences throughout the United States and Europe, and he was a feautred attraction in the Hall of Science at the World's Fair in Chicago. Community Chest Contribution The assembly will also bring to an official close the enforcement of freshman rules on the campus, according" to the Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., dean of faculties. The annual collection from students of the uni; versity for the benefit of the Community Chest will also be made at the. convocation, it has been announced.In recognition of the end of the hazing period, A. J. O'Donnell, Jr., president of the student council, will address the assembly on that subject. Short speeches will also be made by Fred Michon, president of the arts and sciences freshman class, and Henry Pardo, sophomore president of the same college. Hands Over Cap As a sign that freshman rules are at an end, Michon will present his freshman cap to O'Donnell, and will shake hands Pardo. Envelopes for the Community Chest collection have already been distributed by the officers of the different classes and colleges of the university. They will be collectedStudent Hop To Be Held In Mirror Room Music For Occasion Will Be Provided By Student Orchestra The Mirror Room of the Jung hotel is the scene of the last student dance of the year, to be held next Friday night, December 17, it was announced by Richard E. Wright, chairman of the dance committee, this week. The all-university function continuing from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. will be dedicated to the varsity football squad and members will be guests of the committee and of the student body. Charlie Fisher and the student orchestra will supply the dance rhythms for the occasion. Several members of the orchestra appeared in a college floor show at the Blue Room of the Roosevelt hotel last week and their swing numbers made them a big hit with the crowd, it was reported. First Time In Mirror Room It is the first time in the history of student dances that the Mirror ■ Room has been selected as a site j for student dances and incidentally the first time that the student orchestra will play for such an affair. The orchestra made its debut on the campus several weeks President, Dr. Smith Attend Alumni Meet Father Gaudin, Alumni Prexy Represent University At Convention Representing Loyola at the twelfth annual American Alumni Council convention of the fourth district, the Very Rev. Harold A. Gaudin, S.J., president of the university, and Dr. Prescott Smith, president of the Loyola alumni association, participated in the various discussions on alumni activity, held at the Hotel Peabody, in Memphis, Tenn. The convention met last week for the purpose of furthering alumni activities in various col- \ leges and universities of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and j Tennessee. Ideas are offered by various alumni presidents of the schools in that particular district and are discussed as to their possibilities of operating in different colleges. Alumni Has Duty Dr. C. E. Diehl, president of Southwestern university, address- | ed the convention on "The duty of | the alumni towards their Alma Mater." Dr. Diehl called the at- ; tention of the members of the council to the fact that the alumnus recieved from his Alma Mater more than he contributes in the form of tuition and fees. A student at the University of Southwestern pays $250 a year for his tuition, although it costs the university $500 per year to keep the student in school, he stated. Therefore within the period of four years, the student, besides receiving four years of education, is also bequeathed the sum of $1000, the cost of keeping him at the university.The president and Dr. Smith arrived in New Orleans early Sunday morning. Maerz Named Activity Editor F. L. "Jiggs" Maerz, former reporter, has been appointed Activity Editor of the Maroon, it was announced by James E. Brown, editor-in-chief, Thursday. The position is a new one, created for Maerz who will assist the news editor in covering the campus for the activities of various organizations. The new activity calendar published each week in the Maroon is compiled by Maerz. His new position will enable him to increase the scope of the calendar, Brown said. Sophomores: Me, I think you acted like poor sports the other day when you refused to take due whippings at the hands of the freshmen. And when some of you fellows jumped out of the back windows of Marquette auditorium to escape the general belt line, you didn't look like Loyola men at all. That was your chance to show the frosh that you could take it as well as give it, and you muffed the chance.
