              The Loyola Maroon Loyola University, New Orleans, La., October 8, 1954 Vol. XXXII, X-259 No. 2 ROTC Changes To Branch General Course Military Police Unit Ended; Cadets In Other Specialties The ROTC Military Police detachment at Loyola has been changed by order of the Army to the ROTC "Branch General Military Science Curriculum," Lt. Col. Luther R. Barth, commandant of the Loyola unit, announced. The Army disclosed that the conversion was made because the college commissioned officers were, to a great percentage, becoming much too centralized in the Military Police unit. Commissioned cadets will now be placed into various fields of the Army depending on their scholastic rating within school, and the type of degree they receive upon graduating.Senior cadets who sign a contract in their junior year to serVe in the Army as future lieutenants may now, upon request, submit their preference to serve within a particular unit in the Army. It is the hope of the Army to grant as many specialties as possible to cadets, depending, however, upon the need and demand of men in various other fields of the Army. There is always need for cartain types of military occupational specialties within the Army, and cadets with future degrees in physics, chemistry and medicine, for example, will probably be appointed within the Chemical Engineers or Medical Corps. In this way the Army hopes to satisfy the individual and fill the need for high specialty work. At the present time this new change-over has affected only Loyola's unit. "This entire system will serve to constantly improve and specialize the Army as a whole. In the same way, however, an Army man is first and foremost an infantry soldier. Cadets will continue to be trained in the knowledge of combat arms, military principles, and the elements of warfare now and in the future," Lt. Col. Barth said. lOC Campaigns To Back Pack, Tom Rayer, Student Council president, called upon the Inter-Organiaztional Council representatives to line up their organiaztions behind the 1954 "Back the Pack" campaign at the lOC initial meeting of the year Monday night in Marquette Auditorium. Rayer explained that a more friendly and personal attitude towards the athletes is the core of the new plan. "One thing that handicapped last year's campaign was that many students considered athletes apart from the rest of the school. As such they were not too interested in attending sanies to back the teams." Rather than stimulate competition between schools and colleges as was done last year, he said that the plan calls for closer contact with the athletes through member organizations of the lOC. In this way students would attend more garnet to cheer for I buddies and schoolmates, and I not just because their particular school happened to be sponsoring the game, he said. The result of last year's campaign, the Student Council president said, was that many of the different colleges and schools on the campus backed the 'Pack' only when it was convenient or advantageous io their own particular interests. "This year we want it to be different," he asserted. He emphasized the duty of the Council to help carry out this plan. He explained that no other organization, not even the Student Council organizations can match the scope of the combined lOC members. The point system, which regulates the number of positions that any individual may hold in campus organizations, will be revised in the near future, he said. The Maroon and The Wolf are not affected by the point system, the Rer. Anthony C. O'Flynn said when asked to clarify this point. Father O'Flynn also told memben that girls will no longer participate in freshmen initiation. Complaints have been lodged with the dean's office concerning the methods of initiation, and therefore it will be discontinued. CAROL PFISTER Mister Named Pan Hellenics Carol Pfister, A&S senior, was apointed president of the Pan-Hellenic Council by the Rev. Anthony C. O'- Flynn, S.J., chairman of the Council. The Council is composed of the presidents of the four social fraternities: TomdDußos, Alpha Delta (juinma; Donald Drez, Sigma Alpha Kappa; Roy Montalbano, Upsilon Beta Lambda; and Pfieter, Beggars. The purpose of the Council, Pfister said, it to coordinate the four social fraternities in order to discuss different problems in the individual fraternities and to plan and make rules for rush season. Pfister, a physics major, is a member of the Physics Club and the Naval Reserve Officers Corps. The Council's next meeting is tentatively scheduled for the first week after rush season, he added. Propeller Club Elects Two New Officers The Propeller Club elected two new officers Tuesday to refill vacancies left by withdrawals. Bob Crochet, BA senior, was elected vice-president replacing Jerry Lytel who is serving a tour of duty with the Navy. Vinca Carevich, BA junior, replaces Margaret Brignac, law freshman, in the secretarial position. He Brought His Family To Class Jim Kambur brought his speech to expression class Monday afternoon and it wasn't on paper either. Ever the improvising sort, the 22-year-old Army veteran, acknowledges that "seeing is believing" and was ready for his two-minute talk in Prof. Leo Zinser's class. He dubbed his speech "How To Change a Diaper." Normally, titles mean nothing to the 30 or more students in the Marquette Auditorium class. But Kambur made 'em all sit up and take notice. He brought his wife and baby to class and gave a "practical" interpretation of his titled work. First up on the stage, he gave a fast, but informative talk on baby care while his wife, Joan, went through the motions. Baby Marie Ann, age 10 months, cooperated beautifully. She didn't whimper once. Kambur got the idea from his career in the service. "In the Army they always coordinate class work with visual aids. What's good enough for the Army is good enough for me," he pointed out. Incidentally, Kambur met his wife, Joan (Joan Burke, Loyola alumna of 1952), in religion class here in 1948. They were married 18 months ago. He was discharged in December 1953—0n the day his Marie Ann was born. He returned to Loyola last month to work on his degree. Prof. Zinser's only comment: "It wasn't the best speech I ever heard, nor the most practical— but it was the most INTERESTING!" Journalism Dept. Begins Workshop A workshop course, featuring prominent speakers from various business fields, has been added to the journalism curriculum, the Rev. John A. Toontey, S.J., chairman of the department, announced. The class, which meets every Tuesday in The Maroon office at 11:10 a.m., is opened to all journalism majors, Fr. Toomey added. Glenn Weekley, director of public relations at the Kaiser Aluminum Company, opened the series of workshop speeches last Tuesday. His topic was "A Journalist's Place in the Public Relations Field." Bill Dean, radio announcer of WWL, and instructor in television script writing in The Evening Division, addressed the group Tuesday on "Television Script Writing." "~A lecture on "Printing and Typography" will be given by Lee Simmons of Simmons Press Tuesday. •PAPA' KAMBUR LECTURES WHILE WIFE-BABY DEMONSTRATE KEN Party Tonite Kappa Epsilon Nu, national honorary sorority, will welcome freshmen at a coke party tonight at the home of Dean John F.
