ROONEY LU Spirit Gets Boost From Coeds During this basketball season, it won't be just the Men of the South fighting for the old Maroon and Gold—for in the stands newly-organized coed groups, Spiritus and the Wolfettes, led by six LU cheerleaders, will be boosting the Pack on to victory.New names and new faces grace the new morale movement as four freshmen cheerleaders join the old-timers, Nicky Nichols, arts and science senior, and Bennie Rauch, business administration junior, announced Miss Rosalie Parrino, dean of women and moderator of the pep clubs. New cheerleaders are Tek Bassham, arts and science; Gordon Binder, arts and science; Dotty Fitzgerald, arts and science; Michie McHardy, dentistry. A Goal-Rush Stein party will be held immediately before the homecoming: game with Spring Hill in the Loyola cafeteria at 7 p.m. on December 12, to introduce the new cheerleaders and to inaugurate the birth of Spiritus and the Wolfettes.Membership in the new pep clubs is honorary and selective. Members will be chosen on basis of past records, leadership, school spirit and personal qualifications. Miss Parrino outlined the organization of the Spiritus club as operating on two levels: that of an honorary faction to provide enough spirit to boost team morale and that of a board of directors to organize Homecoming decorations, bonfires, motorcades and trips. The Loyola Wolfettes, initiated by Dale Tschirn, arts and science freshman, will perform at varsity basketball games. "The Loyola school-spirit is dead," said Miss Parrino, "but it hasn't been buried. With these two new movements, we hope to inject a new life and fight into the basketball season."

John St. Paul. Jr.. chairman of Film Series Sets Showing Sun. "Aparajito" is the story of an Indian family's break with the medieval past and their dreadful, beautiful encounter with the future. Fifth in the Loyola Film Series, the movies will be shown at 8 p.m. Sunday in Marquette auditorium and is sponsored by the Thirty club. "Aparajito" is the featured film on the series this year and because it has attracted wide audiences wherever it has been seen. The story begins in Benares, where the family has taken quarters in a poor district. Father teaches religion on the banks of the holy Ganges; mother struggles to keep her son from running wild in the streets; ten-year-old Apu, when he isn't running wild in the streets, earns pennies by picking the lice out of rich men's hair. After the father dies, mother and son are very happy together until Apu announces, "I want to go to school." He proves to be an excellent student and eventually earns a scholarship to the university in Calcutta. Apu takes and takes from his mother and gives nothing but pain in return. His visits home become fewer and fewer until finally death cuts the cord. "Aparajito" was produced in 1959. It is the second part of a trilogy by the young director, Satyajit Ray. All three films come from a novel called "Pather Panchali" by Bibhuti Bandopadyaya. Winner of the Grand Prize at the Venice Film Festival, "Aparajito" has Hindu dialogue with English subtitles. Says Bosley Crowther of the New York Times: "A film of rare distinction . . . pictorially lovely in every way . . . done with such rare feeling and with such sympathetic understanding of Indian character that it develops a sort of hypnotism." A short, "Olympia Diving Sequence," will also be shown. The film was shot at the 11th Olympic Games, Berlin, 1936. Divers are seen against a black sky, soaring freely in space. Tickets for $1.00 may be purchased at the door. Fr. Rooney To Speak On Dec. 13 Rev. Edward B.
