Frosh Moot Trial To Feature Libel Case Cowboy Hero 'Caught, By Candid Cameras By MARILYN HALL Throughout the nation, kiddies of every variety run to the TVs and race to the movies to see Red Strongheart . . . that "red-blooded American he-man," as smiling mommies and daddies look on. BUT . . . there's a lot behind those cowboy boots and that 10 gallon hat that would wipe the smiles from those mommies and daddies. Red, nee Reginald P. Perrywinkle, was caught off-guard 1 with a few under the belt and really exposed himself to the film of a "Scandid" camera It all started in the city of Bullmoose in that great state of Utopia (that's so popular about the nation), when city councilman Aimer P. Jennings invited the popular cowboy he-man to attend a New Year's eve party at his palatial suburban home. Now that Red Strongheart is a pretty fancy fellow, with the diamonds on his saddle and all, and just wouldn't turn down a hot party at a palatial estate to go tend to his cows. Nope, he was there. Yet, knowing his five year old admirers wouldn't appreciate their hero sippin' bourbon when he tells 'em he "jist pours down the milk," the cowboy Tarzan went only under the condition that the party would be strictly confidential. Well now, city councilman Jennings wasn't going to have a big party with Red Strongheart there, and not let the whole state of Utopia know about it. Thus the entrance of Scandid Publications with a photographer. The gal that runs the publication in Utopia keeps to herself . . . this way she learns a lot. Thus, under instructions, Randy Reflex, a Scandid photographer, arrived before the party and carefully concealed his camera because his publisher wanted candid photos. Just about 10:30 p.m. our hero arrived at the party where he was greeted by 50 guests, lots of food and drinks, drinks, drinks. That Red Strongheart must have been tired of milk 'cause he really drank the available liquor with the other drinkin' customers while Randy Reflex went to work unseen by human eyes. The camera was waiting and bang ... it wasn't Red Strongheart's protective gun, it was his unprotected liquor as he jumped onto the piano pulling off his toupee and his false upper plate as he gave that statement that shook a nation. And, here it is: "Friends, I have something to tell you in confidence. I am giving up the entertainment world and retiring to my mink ranch in Nevada. Rex Strongheart is no more." Accept Applicants Now For Frosh Competition Applications are being accepted from law school freshmen entering in the annual Freshmen Moot Court sponsored by St. Thomas More Law Club, Jerry Choppin, president, announced. Nicholas Gagliano, law senior, and Paul Hurley, law junior, co-chairmen of the Moot Court, are currently conducting a class in legal research and bibliography. Nathan Owen, law junior, director of instruction and aid to the freshmen, said the class was intended to help entrants prepare briefs for the competition. The purposes of an annual freshmen moot court are to prepare students for appelate work as lawyers, to teach them courtroom decorum and to help them tie together, with practical experience, the law courses they will receive at Loyola. The main objective of the competition it to help create teams to enter the regional and national moot competitions in the future. The problem to be argued by the freshmen is a tort case that will be found dramatized in The Maroon on another page. Plaintiff in the case is a nationally famous movie and TV star described as a "red-blooded American he-man." The defendant is the publisher of a confidential magazine in the state of Utopia, "SCANDID." Plaintiff filed suit against the defendant for publishing pictures of him in an intoxicated state at a party in the state of Utopia which he attended under the belief that it would be strictly private.At the party, "SCANDID" received permission from the host to take pictures, which were taken by the magazine's photographer, Randy Reflex, in hiding. In the civil court of Bullmoose city in the state of Utopia, the trial judge, sitting without a jury, entered a decree in which he found the plaintiff movie star's facts to be true but concluded that the plaintiff did not establish any actual monetary damage. However, he awarded the plaintiff a recovery of $6,000 for mental suffering and embarrassment due to an unwarranted invasion of his right to privacy. The case has now been brought up on appeal by the defendant to the Supreme Court of Utopia. There are no statutes on the books in the state of Utopia that would apply to a particular case as this, nor are there any prior court decisions on this point in that jurisdiction. The amount of damages is not at issue on this appeal. Sororities Get Conditional SC Charters Three social sororities were granted conditional charters by the Student Council at the group's Tuesday night meeting in the Student Lounge. Those receiving charters are: Phi Delta, Tri Phi and Sigma Rho. Representatives of the three sororities adresaed the council on the need of establishing social sororities on the Loyola campus and gave the qualifications of their particular groups for the attainment of a charter. Representing Phi Delta was Isabelle Keefe, A&S soph, who also presented the council with statistics on sorority activities in ten outstanding Jesuit universities in the United States. Mary Ann Reising, A&S frosh, represented Tri Phi and Barbara Muller, A&S junior, presented the qualifications of Sigma Rho. The council took into consideration not only the three coeds' petitions for charters but the general need for sororities on the Loyola campus before casting their votes. The conditional charters are good for two weeks during which time the groups will be submitted to the administration, who will in turn make their decision on the matter before the granting of permanent charters. In the statistics presented by Keefe it was noted that five of the 10 Jesuit institutions from which she had received information did not have sororities on their campuses. The five that did pointed out the necessity of not letting the black-ball system get into practice. If the three groups are granted permanent charters it will set a precedent in that no social sororities, as such, have ever existed on the campus.

Cardinal Key Holds Annual Recruit Tour Over 19 Louisiana high schools were visited over the semester holidays by members of Cardinal Key, national honor sorority, as part of an annual recruit project. This was the opening of the recruiting, which will close with a tour of the city by the all-coed group. "The purpose for the annual recruit is not primarily to encourage students to attend Loyola University, but to teach the importance of going to a Catholic university or college," Betty Johnston, president, said. Two Cardinal Key members and two non-members, Mary Arnold, A&S junior and Catherine Gegenheimer, music senior with Pam Jones, A&S junior and Wanda Laris, music senior, toured schools in Thibodaux, Houma and Lockport.Another group going to Alexandria and Mansura included Sue Coco, A&S junior, and Miss Johnston, a music senior. Dean of Students, Evangeline Molero led a group of three girls: Joel Larkin and Kate Scully, A&S juniors and Lydia Larose, A&S senior to Lafayette, New Iberia, Opelousas, Lake Charles, Eunice and Ville Platte. Shirley Trusty, A&S senior, recruited in Covington. Miss Beauford, Nancy Carlos, AA&S junior, and Mary Healy, A&S senior toured the high schools in Baton Rouge. The girls showed movies of campus life at Loyola and spoke on the importance of attending a Catholic university or college at the various high schools.
