              The Maroon DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL. IV MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1925 No. 4 W.W.L. BROADCASTS SUPERB PROGRAM Finished Artists From Lavedan Studio Perform. An unusual program of superb music was offered Saturday night, November 21, to radio enthusiasts by station W. W. L. of Loyola. The varied program consisted of vocal, violin and piano selections, all rendered with classic technique by accomplished artists from the Lavedan Studio of New Orleans. The long applause that greeted the singers and players after each selection showed the appreciation of the audience in Marquette Hall, where the singing and playing was done. Telephone calls to \V. W. L. station reported the delight of listeners-in. The opening number, the Chanson Norvegien of Foudrain. was a soprano solo by Mrs. Charles Testart. The eerie, haunting melody of the second offering, By the Waters of Minnentonka, sung by Mrs. Calonge Dodd. with violin obligato by Mr. A. Grandmain, received prolonged applause. Then followed in order Le Sarau Rose of Arditi, sung by Mrs. Rose Caruso, soprano; La Charite of Faure, sung by Mrs. Charles Monot, mezzosoprano; Dicblod's Lakme, sung by Mr. G. Bayhi, baritone. The splendid rendition of Mephisto Serenade of Faust given by Mr. J. F. Hote was entrancing. He sang for encore, The Sunshine of Your Smile. Grenadenas was the offering of Mr. Alvarez, who has a soft, mellow and pleasing tenor voice. So well was his selection received that he sang for encore, I Pass By Your Window. Italian opera, Caro Nome, from Rigoletto, was sung by Mrs. R. Arlington, soprano. Mrs. Gabrielle Lavedan, under whose direction the program was given, was at the piano for all the singing of the artists. WAR SKULE CADETS RIDE FREIGHTS Come Down to City to Witness Games. There are more ways than one in getting down to New Orleans from Baton Rouge and the L. S. U. cadets have proved it. These fellows wouldn't miss a Tiger game for anything in the world, even though the distance is around a hundred miles from home. The most popular way is to catch a freight train out of the Red Stick yards at midnight and get off at Harahan. Here they board a stret car and get into New Orleans for the total sum of seven cents. There's a reason for not riding the freight into the city. If they are caught in the local yards there's a possibility of sleeping a couple of nights in the calaboose. This would spoil the trip entirely, since they come down to see a football game and not the solemn and hard visage of a uniformed turn-key. After the game, the cadets hit the Jefferson Highway and bank on chance to get a lift back to the capital. FATHER SULLIVAN ADDRESSES MEETING Gives Illuminating Talk on Mental Hygiene. At the close of the luncheon given under the auspices of the Louisiana Mental Hygiene Society at the Patio Royal, November 24, Father Sullivan made a short address on the importance of educating parents and teachers on the psychology of children. Loyola's president showed child psychology to be a subject which concerns teachers and parents. They are to see that the nobler traits in a child are developed directly, while the vicious impulses are inhibited indirectly. Parents and teachers are to labor incessantly at checking the abnormal emotional excesses common today in children. These excesses unchecked lead to neurosis and insanity. The tYverishness, the rush and the swirl of modern life react unfavorably upon the children of today. Juvenile crime is proven to have its roots in the uncontrolled emotional excesses of children. Parents and teachers have a serious duty with regard to this danger.The principal speaker at the meeting was Dr. Ralph Truitt of New York City, a member of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. Other specialists who addressed the assembly were Dr. Oscar Dowling, Louisiana Board of Health; Judge John Nix of the Juvenile Court, and Dr. Walter Otis of the Veterans' Bureau. DEAN OF COLLEGE ATTENDS L. T. A. Fathers Kearns, Mulry, and Roy Represent Loyola. Fathers Kearns, Mulry, and Roy, attended the thirty-third anniversary session of the Louisiana Teachers' Association in Baton Rouge, November 19, 20, and 21. The meting! were held on the new Louisiana State University campus and were presided over by G. O. Houston, of Mansfield. One of the bills drawn up at the convention called for a tax on tobaccos and cosmetics, the returns from which are to go to retired teachers. The bill will be presented at the next session of the state legislature. The Fathers returned immediately after the convention. FINAL TOUCHES ON CAFETERIA May Open Next Week. The contractors arc busy putting the finishing touches on the Loyola cafeteria, and from all indications the managers will open up sometime next week. Loubat's Glassware and China Company have outfitted the caifeteria with the most up-to-date equipment. Mr. Frank Battaglia, a veteran restauranteur, who is to be manager, states that the cafeteria will be operated on a strictly modern basis. CATHOLIC WORKS ARE BEING EDITED Father Reville Is Editor-in-Chief of "My Bookcase." The declaration of Cardinal Newman that "the tradition in English literature is Protestant," is weakening year after year by the writings of Catholicborn authors and by those, who, although cradled in alien creeds, have walked, in later years, in the light of Catholic belief, which like the lightning, is "from the East even unto the West." "My Bookcase," a Catholic library of one hundred volumes, has been planned, and is well on its way to completion, to put into the hands of Catholic readers a harvest of standard Catholic works, gathered from every race and nation, written by the children of the household of the Faith, as well as by those who have come SATURDAY CLASSES HEAR NOTED CRITIC Clayton Hamilton Lectures on "The Rivals." All the students of the Saturday classes in the Extension Course assembled in the auditorium at ten o'clock on the morning of Novemiber 14 to hear Clayton Hamilton, eminent dramatic critic, lecture on Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The Rivals." In his analysis of the play Mr. Hamilton showed deep appreciation of its dramatic and humorous content. The laughter that rippled through the audience today, as it did when the playwright's immortal comedy delighted theatre-goers in London 150 years ago. Mr. Clayton Hamilton told members of the faculty after the lecture that he rarely found an audience throughout the country manifesting the deep appreciation of his lecture shown by the Loyola Saturday Extension students.WALLACE NICAUD ADDRESSES BODY Urges Students to Meet Tigers and Varsity. At a special assembly of the arts and science departments in MarC|iiettc Hall auditorium, Wednesday, November 25. at twelve o'clock noon, Wallace M. Nicaud, president of the student council, addressed the students. He announced that the college department would have holidays Thursday, (Thanksgiving Day) and Friday. He also urged the students to go down to the station Wednesday night to welcome the L. S. U. freshman team and to do the same Friday morning at eleven o'clock to meet the varsity squad returning from Memphis. The band, he informed, would accompany the student body on both occasions. Father Mulry endorsed Nicaud's statements and asked the band to do their best in filling the engagements. THANKSGIVING DAY AT LOYOLA CHURCH Commemorated With Special Mass and Sermon. Because it is an obligation, at once religious and patriotic, the students and people of Loyola University Church kept Thanksgiving day by attending the special mass and sermon arranged for the occasion. At nine o'clock to the notes of the organ, Father John Navin, pastor of the Loyola parish entered the sanctuary, preceded by the altar boys. In the body of the church, hundreds of faithful people were kneeling. The seats along the main aisle were filled with the boys and girls of Loyola parish school of the Holy Name. After the choir had sung the Kyrie and Ave Maris Stella, Father John Reville, lecturer in English at Loyola university, mounted the pulpit. Taking for the text of his sermon the verse of the Psalmist, "Unless the Lord build the house, in vain do they labor who built it." Father Reville began his sermon by showing how solemn and imperative a duty it was for all citizens of the nation to give thanks to God for the many blessings received from heaven during the year. For Catholics this duty of giving thanks is a daily one. They give thanks at morning prayer and many times during the day. It is in Holy Mass MEMORIAL MASS FOR MRS. E. J. BOBET Loyola University's Benefactress Remembered. The anniversary mass of requiem for Mrs. E. J. Bobet, was celebrated by Father Sullivan, President of Loyola University, at the main altar of Holy Name Church, November 14, at 7:00 o'clock. Members of two Loyola organizations were present, the Marquette Ladies Auxiliary and the Y. W. (). L. The magnificent chimes in the tower of Holy Name Church are the gift of Mrs. E. J. Bobet. The same benefactress by her generous contributions, made possible the erection of the impressive Bobet Hall, where the chemical, pharmacy and dental departments of Loyola are quartered. The massive doorway which gives entrance to the University library in Marquette Hall shows the title, "Bobet Memorial Library." PHOTOGRAPH DATES FOR WOLF 1926 Announcements to Be Posted. Paul Bailey, editor-in-chief of The Wolf 1926 is at work organizing plans for photographing of individuals and groups. Names of individuals and groups will be posted as well as the dates when the pictures are to be taken. SEISMIC STATION RECORDS QUAKES Loyola Instruments Record Three For November. Mid-Novennber proved to be an unusually active period in seismic disturbances. The Loyola Seismological (I'lisrrvatory recorded three on different days. A quake bordering on major intensity was registered. November 10, at 9 A. M.. the disturbance lasting until 10:22. The preliminary tremors were not caught at Loyola, but a telegram from Beunos Aires gave the origin of the quake as North Chili. A second quake of similar intensity was recorded on November 13. The character of the wave motions shown by the chart indicated North Chili again as the origin of the quake. The Loyola chart shows the first tremors for 7:20 A. M., lasting until 8:40. These two quakes although considerable in intensity, were really o!f minor importance in comparison with the severe quake registered on Monday morning, November 15, at 5:58. The amplitude of the waves was unusual for a quake of such distant location. It was computed by Father Abel, seismologist, to be 4,000 miles from New Orleans in a southerly direction. Twice as far away as the earthquake which wrecked Santa Barbara, the effect as registered at Loyola was greater. The maximum amplitude at 6:16 A. M. was twenty millimeters. Sunday, November 15, the day before the quake was one of unusual seismic activity, microcosms being recorded continuously from early Sunday to Monday morning. The cause of these microcosms may be traced to the high seas running in the Gulf at the time. The rythmic pounding of the Gulf waves upon its coast line sets up earth vibrations of sufficient amplitude to be registered by the sensitive needles of the seismograph.MARSHALL BROWN MARRIED SECRETLY Event Occurred in August. Calamities are happening so unexpectedly these days that a fellow can't exactly judge where he stands on the time-worn roster of Fate. The greatest shork of recent occurrence is the information that Coach Dan Cupid has added another player to his matrimonial squad, said player being the sturdy little pig-skin chaser, Marshall Brown. All right; keep your seats and get what few details we have on hand. Marshall, it seems, has been married since August 26, to Miss Maud Mullins of this city. He kept the fact a secret all through the football season, and didn't let the kitten out of the .sack until after the Tennessee Medic game. Of course, he was swamped with congratulations and slaps on the back. And—maybe some of the fellows slipped him a bit of advice. Marshall was a freshman in the day law class, a member of the S. A. K. fraternity, and guard on the varsity squad. (Continued on Page 8.) (Continued on Page 2.)
