              The Loyola Maroon Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, January 10, 1958 No. 11 Vol. XXXV Review Students' Holiday Activities By KIT HARGER Loyola students all agree were the greatest. Most of them had a wondC hot-footed it out of New Or of course) and others stayed right here. They were broke. Native Orleanians had the Sugar Bowl festivities to ring merry for them. Some went partying; others did this and that. Few, if any, studied. Herb McDevitt, A&S freshtnan, laid he ambled on down Florida way with his folk.. "I really lived it up," he chuckled, "playing Beau Brummel and drinking root beer at many of Miami's notorious night spots." On the other side of the Mason- Dixon line Judy Scata, A&S freshmen, didn't spend her holidays building snowmen, as expected. "It didn't snow at all," she com; plained. "Not one lousy flake hit Connecticut soil!" Laments were heard also from Richard Benigno, A&S junior, "I was stuck without my 'wheels' most of vacation because my long lost brother returned home and hogged the car. You know I'm "kinda" glad the rascal's gone," he grinned. Why Richie! Marcia Ainsworth spent her holidays in Fort Worth just having fun, but she said, "I still raved about New Orleans to all who would hear . . . secretly I did all my Christmas shopping in Dallas." And talk about luck, Jimmie Linn, who doesn't drink or smoke said he went to the big Board of Trade whing ding with about five hundred other celebrants and guess what he won. . . . "just a bottle of Champagn.."Another champagne drinking lad was Elmer Gaudet, A&S sophomore, who spent the holidays in Natchez, Miss. "The most fun I had," he said, "was riding around in my model "T" Ford which I've got set up to give off a slight electric charge. I shocked many a 'former' friend." Janice Bacino, A&S junior, said she and Gerry Bodet, A&S senior, played golf over the holidays at the Covington Country Club. "As usual," she smiled, "Gerry's score topped mine." "I had perhaps the most fun of all," (aid Anne Babst, A&S freshman. "At least that's what my dentist told me. You see I had my two wisdom teeth extracted." OWI Buddy Burch, A&S freshman, spent at least part of his holidays doing something a bit unusual. "A group of my classmates from high school and I entertained with a Christmas program at the Home of the Incurables. We make it an annual project." And so it goes. But now it's time to tuck all our fond memories away and prepare for the doom of exams. But chin up; semester holidays are only about a week off. Ring Ceremony Set For Feb. 2 A solemn ceremony for senior and freshmen coeds is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 2, at 4 p.m. in Holy Name of Jesus Church. At this time senior rings will be blessed, freshman class representatives will present gold keys signifying keys to success to senior girls and the seniors in turn will present Loyola seal discs to freshmen girls. A procession of seniors in caps and gowns, freshmen in dark skirts, white blouses and maroon beanies, and women faculty members will precede the ceremony. Joel Larkin, chemistry senior, will give the history of the seal before the freshmen receive their disks. Benediction is to follow the presentation ceremonies with the Rev. R. L. Boggs, dean of students, officiating. Sophomore and junior coeds will be hosts for a reception in honor of the seniors and freshmen, and their parents after the ceremony "This is the first time in the history of the university that such a ceremony is being held," according to Miss Rosalie Parrino, dean of women. "We are planning to establish it as a Loyola tradition."

Cunningham Award Winner Carol Cunningham, 1957 Loyola graduate, was honored Tuesday with the Phi Beta Award for the highest scholastic average in the college of music for 1957.

Unofficial Informer Notifies Sweetheart By JUDY BROCK These "can't wait to tell" really did it this Here was pert Yvonne Boening riding lazily on the St. Charles trolley, when an "ole buddy" pays seven cents, climbs aboard and hops over to our freshman. ling, congratulations! I hear you I are Freshman Sweetheart." What did Yvonne do? Gone was the fanfare of being officially notified. Gone also was the thrill of the official notifier who would bear the great tidings. What could our 1957-58 Froth Sweetheart iay but "Yeh, my friend already told me." Nevertheless, the fact still remains: Yvonne Boening is that special Freshmen Darling. Yet being informed on a trolley car was only one of many incidents involved in this title holder's "To begin with," blushed the coed now taking a general course, "I turned nineteen the tually the nomination was a birthday present." And then came the Christmas present—the winning of the election. "That was the best Christmas present I received," Yvonne added. A petite brunette with big brown eyes, Yvonne divides her hobby time between painting, playing the piano, and shooting on the girls' rifle team . . . some variety. But her greatest hobby (ask any classmate) is talking about Texas. "Well, after all," challenges the new sweetheart, "Isn't it the best place in the world?"

Father Fichter Authors Text On Sociology "Soziologie Der Pfarrgruppen," a German book written by Rev. Joseph Fichter, S.J., of the sociology department, has been released this month. The translated title of the book is Sociology of Parish Groups. Dealing with parochial societies in Germany, it is part of a larger study conducted by Father Fichter in a particular parish in Munster. The research was conducted from 1953 to 1955 while he was a professor at Munster University in Germany. Comparing parish societies in Germany to those in America, Fr. Fichter says, "The lay people participate more fully in parish activities and a lot less is said by the priests about the running of organizations within the parish." Financial matters are also handled by a group of lay people elected by the parishioners. Fr. Fichter added that it is very surprising to see such amazing democracy within parish functions in a country which is not proclaimed as democratic as America. Student Court Idea Fails To Get Council Sanction Another attempt to get a student court sanctioned by the student council failed in last Tuesday's council meeting. The meeting, snarled in problems of parliamentary procedure, centered around the method of choosing the members of the court. I The council could not get the necessary majority on any of the four following plans: 1) The deans of the individual colleges appoint the members of the court. 2) The deans nominate the same number of students for the court as there are representatives on the student council and the council chooses the members of the court. 3) The student body should elect the membersmembers of the court. 4) The students of the individual colleges nominate the same number of students as there are representatives from that college on the student council and the deans of the various colleges pick the court. There is presently an inoperative student court, appointed by the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, dean of students, on the campus.
