Queen Alary Thrilled By Honor, Teaching By JOAN GAULENE A campus court maid for two years, an ROTC sponsor, and finally the dual honor of Campus and Homecoming Queen, might affect any pretty young girl. . . . but not Mary Aitken, who has had all those honors at her feet. . . . unless of course you can count her broader smile and cheerier "hello" among those effects. For Mary is well known around the campus in those two capacities. "Thrilled, just thrilled" was the pert blonde's natural response to her latest achievement. In a late telephone conversation on the night of the queenly announcement, Mary reported that "the entire family is in a dither!" The only girl in the Aitken brood, with two older brothers, one can just imagine the manly pride that was expounded on "little sister's" election to the coveted honor. One of the 20-year-old queen's first concerns was for the other girls on the court, "I'm so happy for all of them," she smiled. A senior, majoring in elementary education, Mary it now doing her practice teaching at Edward Hyne* Grammar School and like everything else Mary was ecstatic about her class. "I'm teaching first grade, and you should see them, they are the best class!" It may be coincidence, but Mary's practice teaching partner in the Hynes first grade is Sue Wegmann, recently named ROTC's "Li'l Colonel." Like the typical woman, one of Mary's chief concerns today is "What am I going to wear?" For the Homecoming Ball, Dec. Ist and the presentation at Blue Key Talent Night, Dec. 7, it will be the traditional white ball gown. "But then there are all the other occasions, a cocktail party, a luncheon and a day at the races," she enumerated. Having been named one of the "best dressed coeds" on the campus last year, it's apparent that "Queen" Mary will represent Loyola in true style. Going back to her class and practice teaching, her favorite subject these days, she related the only drawback as "not being at Loyola as much during the day." "I really miss the campus life, but practice teaching takes so much time," she paused, reflected, and then, "I'll make up for it next semester however, I won't be practice teaching and my schedule will be comparatively light ... I sure will make up for it then." From just a few minutes with this attractive Miss' sparkling personality, it's easy to see that Loyolans made a fine choice in Mary Aitken as Queen. She reflects that true Loyola spirit. QUEEN MARY of Loyola of the South, shown on the stairway of dimming* Hall, prepare* to reign over two approaching campus events—the annual Homecoming Ball, Dec. 1 and Blue Key Talent Night, Dec. 7. ' NO MAROON Because of the Thanksgiving holidays next Thursday and Friday there will be no publication of The Maroon, campus weekly. The next issue of The Maroon will be published on Friday, November 30 and will be a special edition for the start of the University's 1956-57 basketball season which opens December 3. Ex-Red Views Hungary; Reveals Commie Tactics Hungary's rebellion is probably nothing more than a Communist scheme that jumped out of control, Douglas Hyde, former Communist editor of the London Daily Worker, said at a Loyola Forum program Monday. Warning against "wishful thinking," the convert said the Hungarian revolt seemed to be originally planned as part of a policy of "deversification" designed at ridding Communism of Stalinist tyranny. The program succeeded in Poland, Hyde maintains, but leaped its bounds when Hungarian CatholicsCatholics and other anti-Communists took arms and demanded "more than just a national Communist state, independent of Russia." "Much of what has happened is strictly according to the Communist book," he said pointing to Kruschev's statement, "There is more than one way to socialism." "With the weight of mass annihilation on his conscience," Stalin went beyond his powers, according to Hyde and became a tyrant. "Nothing in Communist theory says that Russia is to rule," he said, noting that Communist countries are supposed to be bound simply by common ends, and later by interlocking economies. "I hope I'm wrong, that this really is the beginning of the end for Communism," he noted, "but I've a firm suspicion that it's nothing of the sort." A great danger in the current rebellions, according to the intense, convincing speaker, is that left-wing intellectuals '"who have no real arguments against Communism, but simply dislike some of its undesirable features," will be won over to Marxism if such features as Russian tyranny are eliminated. Speaking in the University Room of the Roosevelt Hotel, he sought to explain why Communism was "able to attract and hold potentially good, intelligent men." Hyde said Communism appeals to two basically good qualities, both predominant in youth, idealism and a sensitive social conscience."The starry eyed idealist is attracted to Communism, because the West has failed to give him dynamic Christian ideals to guide his life," he said. The social injustices of Western civilization lead the "social rebel" with a natural indignation at injusticeMary L.

MARY LYNN BLOCK Suez Question Topic At IRC's Jr. UN Meet Approximately 125 delegates representing some 25 high schools in the Greater New Orleans area will discuss the "Suez Crisis" at the second session of Junior United Nations to be held in the Loyola Fieldhouse tomorrow, at 1 p.m., Gertrude Beauford, International Relations Club president, said. The assembly, modeled on the United Nations in New York, will open with registration of delegates at 1 p.m. to be followed by actual discussion on the issue. Problem papers, briefly outlining the history of the Suez Canal were submitted to the schools and three possible solutions were suggested. 1) The Egyptian governshould be given complete and uninhibited control over Suez; 2) Control of the canal should be returned to the Suez Canal Co. as has been the case since 1869; 3) Set up a regulatory commission under the auspices of the United Nations to control the policies of the Canal. The delegates discuss these solutions, amend them if they see fit, and introduce solutions of their own until an agreement is reached. The problem papers were drawn up by Ray Cullom, Pat O'Donnell, and Cora Ribaul. Beauford la chairman of ■ the activity.
