STUDENT NURSES JOIN the procession of Loyola faculty members, candidates for graduation and students, around the "horseshoe" drive on St. Charles Avenue to Holy Name of Jesus Church for the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost. The Mass officially opened the school year and invoked the blessings of the Holy Ghost on the student body. 'Truth Ultimate Goal Of Catholic Education' Msgr. Vath Speaks Truth itself, in the person of Jesus Christ, is the ultimate goal of Catholic college education, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph G. Vath, vicechancellor of the New Orleans Archdiocese, told Loyola University students Monday.Occasion for the address was the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost which officially opened the school year and invoked the blessings of the Holy Ghost on the student body. The Mass, celebrated by the Rev. Henry R. Montecino, S.J., university chaplain, was offered in Holy Name of Jesus Church. "Every student mutt ask himself the questions, 'Where are we going?' and 'How do we go there?', " Msgr. Vath said, "and answer the questions with Christ's words to Phillip, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life*." "'Christ is the way students in Catholic universities are to follow . . . the truth which is the whole reason why we struggle and toil in any school . . . the life that leads to everlasting life," he explained.Msgr. Vath, native Orleanian, was ordained in 1941 after completing studies at St. Joseph's Seminary in St. Benedict, La. and Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans.A graduate of Jesuit High School, he received his master of canon law degree at Catholic University,University, Washington, D. C., also in 1941. The monsignor assumed his duties as vice-chancellor of the archdiocese in 1948 and has been secretary to Archbishop Joseph F. Rummel since 1949.

Fichter's Article Noted In 'Newsweek' A recent article by the Rev. Joseph H. Fichter, S.J., chairman of the department of sociology, was summarized in the Sept. 16 issue of Newsweek magazine. The original article, dealing with the lack of Catholic sociological scrutiny, appeared in Commonweal magazine. In the original story Father Fichter charged that Protestant, Jewish and non-sectarian agencies and individuals "pave the way for most of the forward-looking steps made in the world. This is true also in the field of sociology of religion." He also pointed out that the role of the sociologist is misunderstood. The scientist, he said, is not qualified to study sacred matters and may even be trying to dispose of the theologian's job. In an attempt to clarify the confusion Father Fichter noted that '"religion is not merely a personal relationship with God but also a joint enterprise conducted by human beings and institutionalized over the centuries." He further pointed out that the sociology of religion is not theology and does not pretend to be. "If everyone would try to get these facts straight," he said, "we would all benefit." Father Fichter returned to the campus this year after a year's leave of absence as a Notre Dame University "distinguished visiting professor." Campus Capers Tryouts On Oct. 2 Talent auditions for Loyola's musical goodwill troupe, Cam* pus Capers, will be held Wednesday, Oct. 2, at noon in the music college basement, Bert Braud, Capers director, announced."Membership in Campus Capers is open to the entire student body," Braud said, "and there's always room for talent." "Whether you can sing, dance, do a comedy routine, play an instrument, or what have you, there's an opportunity for any Loyolan to improve his talent, learn show business, appear on radio and TV, and help entertain others," Braud said. Those interested in singing with the group are asked to bring piano sheet music with them to the audition. A pianist will be on hand to accompany them. Hey Frosh, Beware, Say Sophs, Prepare!
