Union local 123 defendants appealed to the court for another trial on an injunction which plaintiff, Maestro Video Stores, Inc., obtained in the past when they had sued the union for picketing. Plaintiff had allowed the union to campaign to his employees by talks and literature in order that they might join the union. Up to this time the employees had not belonged to a union but had received higher wages than any other TV store in the city with less paid vacation time. The employees, after the campaign, voted not to join the union. Thereupon the union proceeded to picket the store and when, after two months, the union was asked by the plaintiff to stop since it was hurting his business and the employes did not wish to join the union, the union refused to stop. Plaintiff sued in State Court asking an injunction which was allowed. Union appealed to this court and won the decision.

Loyola Band Concert Sunday By MARILYN HALL Many are the odes as to what a young man's fancy will turn in time of Spring, but rest assured that one will be the melodious offerings of a concert band. Almost before the flowers are in full bloom and the bees have filled their first comb of honey, the outdoor rostrums will fill with talented musicians who present their offerings to the public. Loyola's college of music will follow the ageless tradition with but one slight modification, the entertainment will be presented indoors, at Jesuit Auditorium, Sunday at 8:15 p.m. The 65 piece concert band will be under the direction of George Jansen. This spring concert has become an annual affair, and seems to be growing in popularity each year. The selections and musicians this year should make it one of the best ever. The highlight of the evening will be the tenor voice of Harry Theard, noted for his operatic and liturgical music around the city, singing selections from Sigmund Romberg's "The Student Prince" with soprano Barbara Faulkner. That 'Talent Night winner' Charlie Suhor, who always walks away with applause, will liven all the spring fever when he combines his drum with the singing trumpet of George Bischoff in Lang's "Trumpet and Drum." Bert Braud, who just recently showed his dramatic ability on the Thespian stage, will give a clarinet solo on Morrissey's "Interlude."Bischoff, Carl Meyer, and Gerald Kimble will give an extra treat to the audience when they put in that 'holiday air* all pepped up with trumpets in a special trio number in Anderson's "Bugler's Holiday." Other selections on the program provide a mixture of classic and popular to delight the old and the young. Included in these will be Overatura to "II Guarany," Gomez; "Ballet Music from Faust," Gounod; "Field Artillery," Sousa; "National Emblem," Bagley; Jerome Kern songs; "Rumbolero," Gould; and Tschaikowsky's "March Slav." As an extra treat to the fine program the public is cordially invited to attend free-of-charge.

O'Connor, S.J., head of the department of English, celebrated his 50th year as a member of the Society of Jesus last Sunday. The 67-year-old native of Augusta, Ga., has been teaching at Loyola since 1926. He has also been chaplain of the Sisters of Mercy for the past 27 years. "I have been celebrating Mass on Sunday at the Holy Name of Jesus convent for nearly three decades, and this was no exception last week," he said. Known for his genius at story telling, the lanky priest lists teaching and mystery stories as his two main pleasures. "I've taught a lot of young people, mostly boys," he said, "and I've never been troubled with discipline because I don't bother with it." "Boys are much easier to teach and to handle," he laughed. "In fact, the girls used to think I picked on them, but I was only treating them the same as the boys." "Some of my students have surprised me in later years," he recalled, though he admitted he had been disappointed by a few. "They never change, you have lazy ones, bright ones, co-operative ones, and difficult ones. Though he finds that it is now practically impossible to give students a liberal education, Father O'Connor pointed out that "I've tried to give an attitude to my boys and girls, an appreciation for liter- THE REV.
