He pointed out that higher education has an immediate need. He said that American business is being asked to help and must decide in what ways and on what scale. "But the Council for Financial Aid to Education hopes to do more than to contribute information and advice on the ways and means of financial support. It desires to contribute to a more general understanding of what higher education does, and therefore, why American business has a stake in its wellbeing," the Loyola president emphasised. Dr. Compton, the group's first director, explained that the Council will not be committed to any particular form of financial support of higher education by business and will not promote any particular institution directly soliciting funds from business. The Council will try to promote the best interests of all. FR.

Soniat's Program By JACK WESTHOLZ WWL's inspirational program, "Thought For the Day," I celebrates its 14th anniversary, Friday, Oct. 16, in its regular 6:45 a.m. broadcast from the office of the Rev. Louis G. Soniat, S.J., in the BA building. Originated by the Rev. E. T. Cassidy, S.J., on October 18, 1939, the program was first broadcast from the seismograph building behind Holy Name Church on the campus. The program features inspirational talks, usually by Father Soniat designed to follow Rockies, and east to the Atlantic seaboard. (Advanced ROTC students training at Camp Gordon, Ga., this summer, frequently heard WWL over their company day room radios). Letters and postal card* have been received from many area* and from all walk* of life, indicating that the program ha* been received, and appreciated. Father So n i a t ' s office is equipped with a radio for obtaining the signal from the downtown studios of WWL, in the Roosevelt Hotel. A remote control amplifier and a microphone complete the equipment. The unique feature of "Thought For The Day" is that it is live. It is occasionally transcribed: either because of Father Soniat's absence from the city, or for mechanical difficulties. Format of the program include*: an introductory theme, the talk lasting seven minute*, a prayer for the conversion of Russia, for world peace, or for the union of all mankind in Christ. A morning offering of the League of the Sacret Heart, the recitation of the Lord's Prayer, and the concluding theme complete the program. The ultimate, object of the As far as possible the talks are developed in connected scries. Jn the past the IB minute periods have been filled with glances at supernatural life, the Lord's Prayer, the 10 commandments and the Apostles' Creed. Other talks explained the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Lent and the Passion of Christ, The Sacred Heart, the Christian family, and the Eight Beatitudes. Special talkt occur on the Fourth of July, Armistice Day, Thank.giving Day, Christinas and New Year's Day, Eaiter Sunday, and occasionally eulogies are presented such as were given on the death of the late President Franklin D. Rooseyelt.Some four years ago the seismograph building was alloted to the amateur operators for their headquarters, the Amateur Broadcasting Station. This move necessitated the transfer of the studio to Father Soniat's office in the BA building. -WWL operates on 50,000 kilowatts power, enabling programs such as "Thought For The Day" to be heard as far north as Canada, as far west as the top of the broadcast is to have the public think of God, and the truths Our Lord taught. Proximately it aims for the peace of Christ in the hearts of men, so that the reign of Christ may extend from pole to pole. "Remotely, it aims for the ultimate attaining; of man's supernatural end: the Vision of God as He is in Himself," Pr. Sonlat added. FATHER SONIAT Father Shea Cites Education's Finality; Dominican Speaks At Holy Ghost Mass "Education and the perfection in accordance with it are absolutely impossible for the individual with an egocentric philosophy of life," the Very Rev. Leo M. Shea, 0.P., professor of philosophy at£t. Mary's Dominican College, told Loyola students at the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost Tuesday.He distinguished between the egocentric who considers all things as valuable as they minister to him and the » I deocentric philosophy which has tight unity with God as its center. "If any of you students are practicing an egocentric pholosophy your education may help you to make money or acquire influence, but you will prevent Loyola University from educating you and perfecting you. You would be better off without the skill you will acquire here, because you would be less dangerous to yourself and to society," the philosophy professor continued. Education in the deocentric view of life, however, doe* not seek aD a final purpose to produce physiciani, dentists, accountants, etc., he went on. "To educate a man 30 years in order that he may practice medicine for some 25 years is certainly an unprofitable operation." Secular education at its best labors only for the transient, and neglects the permanent. At its worst it turns out many men who are neither improved nor perfected, who in fact would have been better off if they had not acquired their dangerous knowledge of sciences, Fr. Shea stated. "If you do not understand that primary truth that God is your Creator and you are a rational creature responsible to Him, all the knowledge you may ever acquire will be to no permanent avail. If you do not at last possess God, then all that you will have chosen, pursued, and obtained will total nothing more than vain regrets."Fr. Shea concluded his sermon with the warning that every individual is tailoring for himself a spot in eternity, either a spot of mercy or a spot of justice, and he will be unable to accomodate himself to any other. It is up to the individual what niche he fashions for himself.The Holy Ghost Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Sam Hill Ray, S.J., University chaplain, to invoke God's blessing upon the coming school year. Seniors, attired in caps and gowns, nurses in their white uniforms, Jesuit members of the faculty in cassocks and surplices, and other staff members of the University wearing academic apparel attended the Mass. All 8:10 and 9:10 classes were cancelled in order that the students and faculty might attend. THE ANNUAL Man of the Holy Ghost held Tuesday to invoke God's blessing on the students and faculty, found nurse-students from Hotel Dieu and Mercy, right, in procession to Holy Name Church. The view on the left shows the student body attending Mass. Alumni Quarterly Mass Celebrated The quarterly Alumni Muss was celebrated in Holy Name of Jesus Church Sunday, by the Rev. E. A. Doyle, S.J., alumni advisor. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Bernard A. Tonnar, S.J., assistant dean of students. Ushers at the Mass were J. D. Bloom, chairman; John Fuchs, Edward Uzee, Newell Schindler, Joseph Famiglio and William Redmann.A breakfast in the cafeteria followed the Mass. Miss Mary Lou Suhor and Mrs. James A. Comiskey were co-chairmen of the Mass and Communion breakfast. Mr. Daniel J. Lyons, president of the association, was master of ceremonies.

Dog Day Dragnet Theme Answers Kangaroo Kourt By JOE KAISER The Dragnet show appeared a day later last week —that is as far as Loyola upperclassmen were concerned.Dog Day, an answer to the Kangaroo Kourt conducted by the indoctrinating class of the University, was held to acquaint the upperclassmen with the freshmen. Licking their wounds from the previous Friday, the frosh lit into the maligners of the previous week. Under the supervision of Jerry Redmann, as Det. Sgt. Joe Friday, the frosh issued APB's on the instigators of last week's purge. Upperclassmen Ronnie Rod, Tom Rayer, Suzie Hanemann, Shirley Stoma, Mike O'Connor and Mel Graziano were some of those taken in on a 903—throw- throwing pies in freshmen's faces out of season. Graziano, who has been up on the same rap before, came prepared with an extra shirt in case things got out of hand—which they did. O'Connor, the usually congenial Irishman, turned on his captors and smeared some undeserving frosh square in the face with a choice lemon meringue. Graziano chased frosh co-ed Gloria Deßram with a pie but she took refuge behind the cassock strings of FatherFather Doyle. Intermingled with the ground frolic, several poorly guided missiles splashed and splattered the crowd below. With this, just about all order that prevailed, was destroyed. Pies began to fly— everybody, freshmen and upperclassmen alike, engaged in the festivities were dripping wet or smeared from ear to ear. The Dragnet had been spread— the losses on each side appeared just about even. A hair preparation of powder with a molasses base was used on most of those appearing down at the "station." Everything ended just as quickly as it started. That ends pie smearing and powder-pouring for this year. Thank goodness. History Department Buys New Projector The history department recently purchased a "Vu-Lyte" opaque projector, according to the Rev. Charles Chapman, S.J., chairman. This light-weight portable machine enlarges pictures or text book material and projects it upon a daylight screen, thus enabling students to view a single small picture simultaneously. A movable arrow aids the instructor to point out various features of interest on the projected picture. (See COUNCIL, page 6)
