Zinser, Thespian director, announced. Written by Melvin Graziano, recent BA graduate, the play is scheduled for production Monday through Friday of Holy Week, and concerns the trials and tribulations of Disnias, the good thief, during the Passion of Christ. Pfister will portray the role of Dismas, and Ruth, his sweetheart, will be played by Gaulone. Other* in the cast include: John Bourgeois, Esron; Myra Monahan, Rebecca; George Hoag, Judat; Reggie Hendry, and George Piazza, priests; Bert Braud, Marcus; James Arceneaux, Titus; Ronald Fonseca, Cyr«s; Wayne McWhorter, Peter; Al Kibler, doubling in the roles of guard and criminal; and Maurice Clark, priest.

The triology consists of "Riders to the Sea," by John Millington Synge; "Hyacinth Halvey," and "Spreading the News," by Lady Gregory. The Thespians are also contemplating a reading from the works of Edgar Allen Poe, to be offered some time near the end of Lent. Ken Offan, Lee Freeland, and George Rhode will handle the staging and lighting for all the productions. Costuming will be done by Mrs. Lilnette Hiller. ♦-•  Kappa Delta Pi Dr. James F.

An Editorial It's often been said that newspapers mold public opinion. Reporters, editors and columnists write. Their efforts are put into type and printed. The average reader picks up the newspaper, reads it, and generally believes what he reads. However, sometimes it is good to separate fact from fancy. Sometimes these readers are misled by these writers. Often they are intentionally misled. This week several articles appeared on the sports page of a local paper. These articles were directed against the Loyola Wolfpack basketball team and its coaching staff. Let us take one of these articles part by part. It says: "Looking at the overall collegiate year here (basketball) I would be compelled to label it minus enthusiasm. "Tulane and Cliff Wells, I feel, turned in a creditable season." Let's stop here for a moment. The Maroon does not disagree with this. In fact, The Maroon extends its own congratulations to Coach Cliff Wells and the Tulane basketball players on a job well done. However, on with the article: "Loyola was a dull disappointment. The Wolfpack, whose year it was to howl, it was predicted, hung up an unexcitable 13-10 record. And there were such non-major conference opponents as SLI (which defeated the Wolves), Mississippi Southern, Florida State, Spring Hill, Troy State, and a recent graduate of junior college ranking, Lamar State (which is actually Lamar Tech)." The Maroon believes that the Wolves' 13-10 record with the toughest schedule in its history was a truly fine effort. Coach Jim McCafferty in a pre-season statement said that if he could break even this year he would be well-satisfied. The Wolves won 13 and with a break or two could have won four more. Four more victories would have put them with a record of 17 and seven. The Wolves could have beaten Marquette twice, Florida State (over there), and SLI. If they had won these four games, undoubtedly they would have been in the 1955 NCAA tournament. And then what would this reporter have said? The Wolves lost out in their NCAA bid by 12 points: four against SLI, three against Marquette, two against Marquette, and three against Florida State. , Overall, the Wolves played the toughest cage schedule in Dixie., Looking back through the season we can recall the Pack's close and thrilling games with Marquette, its fine game with LaSalle, and its upset victory over Illinois, ranked at that time (by this writer's paper) as the Number One team in the nation. The Wolves' poor showing against Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl was the only bad effort the Wolves gave in 14 home appearances this past year. The second Sugar game against Bradley (Loyola lost, 77-71) was a close, hard-fought, and exciting game. Bradley—poor record and all—was chosen for the NCAA tournament. Now, let'stake time out for a minute to look at the records piled up oy the top teams on Loyola's schedule. After all, when mentioning the worse teams, it should be fair to mention the best ones too. LaSalle College—Won 23, Lost 4. Marquette University—Won 22, Lost 2. Dayton University—Won 23, Lost 3. Florida State University—Won 20, Lost 3. Illinois University—Won 17, Lost 4. Overall, this group won 119 games against only 16 losses. Loyola caused two of those losses. The Wolves beat both FSU and Illinois and held Marquette to two of its closest games of the season. Pepper Wilson of Dayton—whose team is now one of the nation's best—said that the Loyola-Dayton game there this year was the best on their home court. He also said that Dayton played its best game of the year against the Wolfpack. In his appraisal of the Wolfpack's schedule, this reporter did a good job of forming the wrong public opinion. His opinions certainly were not based on facts. First of all his arguments seem to be based on the key word: Non- NEW ALUMNI OFFICERS were installed at a quarterly breakfast last Sunday in the University cafeteria.
