The priest, dean of philosophy and religion at Xavier University, began writing his "parade" of popular novels with the instant success of "The Scarlet Lily" in 1944; then came "Road from Olivet (1946); "Pere Antoine and Madame Lavalliere" (1947), "Song of the Cave" (1950), and hit latest just published "Bride of New Orleans."

Throughout the week students have been guessing who "Miss Ceylon" might be and helping the missions with each guess. Others have been guessing the faculty members as babies, rubbing the "Elephant Backs," naming the droodles, and having their teeth cleaned for $1 by the dental school. MISS CEYLON . . . placa the eyes Reporter Finds 'Scoop'At Party Given For Alumni Kids Saturday By MARILYN HALL Bang . . . You're dead ... a fall ... a cry ... I lost my lollipop . . . Father Chapman took it . . . another cry . . . my balloon has popped. Excuse me dear reader but I am a freshman in journalism and am making use of the 'stacatto lead' (just learned it), to gTve the details of a scoop story. It was a scoop too, scoops of ice cream mixed with scoops of kids (300 of them), all claiming direct ancestry to the great Loyola family. i  Have you in suspense? It was really just a party (understatement of the year), the 15th Annual Children's Party for the little 'pitter patters' of the Loyola Alumni members, held last Saturday at Holy Name. Only the 'pitter patters' didn't patter, they screamed, they laughed, they cried, with the usual sticky tear result, they even gave off favorite cries of 'Wolf Man,' but there was no patter. Professor Lewis Todd of Math, walked off with awards amidst the confusion of who was who. His little six week old daughter, Patricia, received a prize for being the youngest child there. But Todd, because of the nine 'patters' in his family, was sure that one prize was not enough for him. Oh no, 13 year-old Mary Elizabeth Todd also took a prize for being the oldest child there. The other 298 lollipop lickers didn't walk off empty handed, though, for they received, upon showing their well scrubbed faces, a balloon, a funny hat and a ticket which entitled him to ice cream, a pony ride (real live one too), and a fish pond stick that somehow only produced fish that turned into many shiny bright toys and trinkets. What about the adults? Those former pursuers of the great and powerful 'knowledge' were busy before the party trying to see who could blow the most hot air into the some 2000 balloons that later served for decorations. Tears crowded their eyes almost as much as they did the eyes of little Susies and Joes when the balloons popped under loving pressure. Imagine the hours of wasted air that floated about the party! Mrs. W. A. Wambsgans copped a special award for having the most children present. Six bobbing heads helped her win too. ONE-YEAR-OLD TWINS, ANGELIQUE AND ADRIENNE LACOUR, AT PARTY. BA Alumni Plans Awards Two awards for outstanding scholarship have been established for the college of business administration by the college's alumni, according to Dean Henry J. Engler. The Dr. John V. Connor Award will be presented to the male graduate attaining the highest scholastis average. The coed graduate having the highest scholastic average will receive the Rev. Joseph A. Butt, S.J., Award. The awards, both gold keys, will be presented at Award Night ceremonies by the president of the BA alumni association. Alfred L. Leßlanc, 1949 graduate, was elected president of the association at a recent meeting. Other new officers are Joseph Famiglio, 1949 graduate, vice-president; Frank Charbonnet, 1950, secretary; and Lester Madere, 1949, treasurer. Leßlanc said that the new awards were established because in the past the college of business administration had no scholastic awards to present. Dr. Bernal Donates Ancient Manuscripts Dr. Miguel Bernal, dean of the college of music, recently donated several volumes of ancient manuscripts to the University library. The books, which were discovered by the noted musician in the attic of the Conservatory of the Roses, Morelia, Mexico, are now on display on the first floor of the library. The Rev. Paul L. Callens, S.J., chairman of the department of foreign languages, who arranged the display, said that Dr. Bernal discovered the i  volumes by accident when he was director at the Conservatory. "Someone had evidently put them up in the attic and forgot about them," the priest continued. One of the volumes is Obertura de Antonio Sarrier and is a handwritten copy dating back to the 17th century. The first symphony written in America, Obertura was recently performed in Tucson, Arizona, and acclaimed as one of the greatest symphonies. Dr. BernalBernal has transcribed this work into modern form for orchestra. Another manuscript is a Libros De Asientos or roll book. Begun in 1772, it lists the founders and members of the Congregation of St. John Nepomucene. An interesting aspect of the book is that it lists the credential status of each member, such as "no paga" (does not pay), "insolvento" (insolvent), and the like. Among the collection is the first music ever printed in America.America. Published by Petrus Ocharto, the Graduate Dominicale was printed in 1576. Father Callens explained that one of the books is an extremely rare one; not even the Library of Congress owns a copy. Written by Miguel de Fuenllana, the manuscript has only a few copies in existence. A rare and famous book, said Father Callens, is the one written in 51 chapters on musical theory. The author, Gioseffe Zarlino, demonstrates the superiority of the system known as the "Syntonous or Intense Diatonic" of Ptolemy above all other systems. Other books in the collection are A Brief Explanation of Theory and Practice of Plain Chant, Written in 1782 by Jose Vicente Gonosavel for the use of the children at the Conservatory of the Roses; one of the first editions of Haydn piano sonatas; a Ritual Carmelitano, published in 1789; a treatise on Gregorian chant, published in 1778 in Madrid, Spain, by Dr. Nicolas Pascual Roig; Scienza del Suoni e Dell' Armonia by Giuseppe Pizzati; and a treatise on plain chant by Francisco Marcos y Navas, published in Madrid in the 18th century. Father Callens added that these priceless volumes testify that the Spaniards not only brought religion and government to Mexico but also the arts and culture as well. '"These books are as good as any that were published in Europe at the same time. It is really evident that the Spaniards brought their own private libraries with them because we have some of their books in our own library," he said. Award Chemistry Department $5000 Grant For Research Father Jo/ley, Free/and Will Conduct Project (Photo on Page 2) The National Science Foundation has awarded a research grant of $5000 to the University for the support of a research project in the department of chemistry,' the Very Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J., University president, announced. The research project, under the direction of the Rev. Homer R. Jolley, S.J., is on "Chromatographic Separation of Racemic Mixtures."According to Father Jolley, racemic mixtures are mixtures of substances whose molecular structures are related in somewhat the same way as a man's right hand is related to his left. "The separation of such mixtures is difficult and the parpose of the present research is to find a much more efficient method for performing this separation," Father Jolley added-. "While the ordinary chemical and physical properties of racemates are almost exactly alike, their physiological and medicinal properties, for example, may differ widely," he continued. Father Jolley explained that in the manufacture of very many synthetic drugs, racemic mixtures are a result of the synthesis, but only one or other of the individual substance is desired. Hence their separation is both scientifically and economically significant. Lee T. Freeland, a chemistry major who will graduate in June, will begin work on July 1 as assistant on the research project. The project will continue for approximately one year. Jr. ADA Hosts N. 0. Dentists At Banquet The Junior American Dental Association presented clinics in scientific dental fields Wednesday night in the cafeteria when it was host to the monthly meeting of the New Orleans Dental Association. The clinics, each 15 minutes long, ran simultaneously from 8:30 to 9:30, and were followed by a buffet supper for the visiting dentists. Directors of the various clinics were: Kenneth N.

Towill, D.D.S., of the department of pedodontics, on application of operative, orthodontic, and prosthetic procedures to pedodontics; W. Ormond Goggin, D.D.S., of the department of periodontia and endodontia, on case management and diagnosis in periodontia. Harold W.
