Maroon

              The LOYOLA MAROON Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 25, 1957 No. 6 VoL XXXV The Thinker ONE OF MANY STORING up ammunition for the onslaught of exams in the week to come is HENRY SEPULVEDA, A&S senior. For Henry it's the last go round, but for the frosh it's something new. Next time they'll be in the picture too. Watch Out You Loyoluns, Mid-Semester Exams Neur By MARILYN HALL Just when exam schedules begin to haunt the bulletin boards, The Maroon proceeds to produce another epochmaker on the wrought condition of the campus population. Maroon writers have been caught poking fun at the coeds who line up in drugstores for no-doz, and the many others who hug the library table with piles of ancient books. Logically speaking (take note, logic prof), the sarcasm shouldn't go to the student. No, never the student. The happy carefree student who sips sodas in the cafe, cuts classes on sunny days and bubbles over with pure enthusiasm for this sweet life— can he be blamed for the tragedy that will be effected in the week to come? Never. The evil lies, quite definitely, in the exam itself. And for once, just once, those pityful excuses for deciding whether a college student should remain a college student or not, will be blasted right open. To begin with, exams don't pounce upon their innocent little victims- They crawl up, slowly and surely, like lazy horse flies on a barbecue night. First hint of the evils come from the profs. They become unusually sweet and helpful. They begin to grin at 8 a.m. classes, instead of giving off with the usual grimace. They begin to drop subtle hints on where ammunition may be found to ward off the coming onslaught, but they'll never tell what's coming. They begin to speak of blue books (though goodness knows why they can't be green), and their lectures are based continually on what has been done in class before. Students don't want to hear of what came before . . . they want new material and continually pray for the prof to find a new way to say an old joke. He never does. Just as these innocent students begin to smell the pending disaster, it's predecessor . . . the exam schedule . . . appears. This, in itself, is enough to send poor Ed College shrieking into the night. But -he bears it with strength and fortitude and he stands before the bulletin board (with fear in every breath that the dean may pop from behind his door and catch poor nervous student cutting class), and he tries his hardest to translate the blur of numbers that will tell him where to meet the adversary. Oh, he tries, really tries. And though the youthful pink leaves his cheeks, it's doubted that he'll ever reach the right room at the right time without much collaboration with fellow victims. As the final week wears on and the prof's smile grows more gruesome, poor frazzled student becomes a wreck. He jumps when an ant crawls over his shoe, and gasps when the change shakes in his pocket. And then it cornea to take it* toll. The prof* have their brigheit smile* that day . . . and are at their cheerful be»t. And weak Charlie Brown, who has martyred a thousand times over, vainly tries to meet his enemy. If he dies, he's dead for a long time. If he lives, the scars never quite leave his shattered intellect.Please, please, don't poke fun at the students who must undergo these tortures . . . rather join with them to overcome this black death and crush it forever. MORAL: Down with exams. Rule To Require Parking Permits A new system under which all students must have campus parking permits will become effective Dec. 1, the Re*. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., dean of students, announced. Parking permits are now available in the dean of student's office and all students with automobiles must pick one up before that time. The permits will distinguish student vehicles from others and will be required for parking in the horseshoe or anywhere on campus ground. There is no charge for the permits but a $1 fine will be enforced on those not having the stickers after the month of November, Father Boggs said. Education Course Open To Freshmen A freshman course, "Introduction to Education" has been added to the education department curriculum, according to the Rev. James Whelan, S.J., chairman.

Loyola Band Opens Series The Loyola University Band will present a series of goodwill concerts during the 1957 fall semester, Mr. George Jansen, band director, announced. The series began with a concert Tuesday evening at the dedication of Sacred Heart High's new auditorium.Among the selections played were the musical scores from the Broadway hits, "The King and I" and "My Fair Lady." Featured on the program was a clarinet solo, "Interlude" by Bert Braud, music senior.

All concerts will start at 8:15 p.m. According to Mr. Jansen this will be a record number of offcampus concerts, and is due largely to the prestige the band has gained in the past five years. The programs are open to the public and especially to all Loyola students. Election Awes Little Colonel By MARILYN HALL From the top of her tiny nose to her very slim toes, Pat Finney, A&S senior, is a lady. She talks daintily in a Nashville accent, and her happy laugh, that seems to pervade evrey conversation, never sounds much louder than a canary chirp. She loves to travel, to talk, to live. It all adds up to one thing— | ROTC's Little Colonel. And, to use an old masculine cliche, she's "the type of person you'd like to take home to mother." A brownette, Pat never gave the army election a second thought. "I was just pleased as peaches that my picture would be on exhibit," she mused. Little did the miss know that it would be a long time before that picture would be returned . . . now it must be used for newspapers and magazines, and even for ROTC guys to gaze on. Those things just happen. But for Pat herself, this new title is just bringing worries. The thrill has worn off, and now come the problems. "Golly," Pat laughed, "I just don't know what I'll wear to the ROTC ball. That's where we are presented, and I'm worried to death." "And then," she added, "there's the drill for the Little Colonel and sponsors. I really think I'll do something wrong." "But I'm still happy," Pat added, "and so are all the members of my family." "Oh, does your family know about it already?" she was asked. "No, no," answered the coed, "I mean my Immaculata family. You know, I've received telegrams Campus Court Nominations Begin Monday Nominations for the campus court will be held in the quadrangle Monday and Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Mel Cannatella, chairman of the Campus Committee of the Student Council, announced.
