SAK Cops Decoration Ist Prize By ARDLEY HANEMANN Sigma Alpha Kappa social fraternity won the inter-fraternity homecoming decorations competition Tuesday night in the fieldhouse. Constructing a miniature of Marquette hall in the horseshoe, SAK welcomed grads with two huge white hands motioning welcome and six small wolves guarding the way. Alpha Delta Gamma "Bombed the Badgers" on the left hand side of the fieldhouse with a pink plane titled The Spirit of Loyola flying in front of a blue canvas background. A propeller turned as small bombs dropped on four badgers enclosed by a red brick fence. Two badgers stood in front of the fence and a Welcome Alumni sign greated the returning graduates. Next door, on the right hand side of the fieldhouse, Beggars constructed their own fieldhouse. The four foot high exact replica done in white crepe paper with gold doors and an aluminum foil roof supported a red wolf lazily reclining on one arm and waving to alumni with the other. On the roof of the actual fieldhouse, connected to its miniature by maroon and gold streamers, was another wolf holding a sign proclaiming "Wolves on Top." On St. Charles Ave., Upsilon Beta Lambda placed their whistling wolf in front of the Music school. Titled "Bounce the Badgers," the decoration depicted a 16 foot gold-clad wolf which stood cross legged as he nonchantly bounced a badger with his right paw in front of a 17 foot basketball goal, while he whistled the fight song and greeted alumni as Joe Lobo. In front of Cummings Hall the joint effort of the four sororities stood. Six wolf pupils watched in desks as their gigantic wolf teacher stood in front of a blackboard eraser in hand. Four badgers were drawn on the board and the title "Erase the Badgers" sat on top in red and gold crepe paper. Winner of the competition, announced at the Homecoming basketball game, received a large silver trophy and the other fraternities received certificates of merit from Spiritus, school spirit organization, which were presented by Mr. Joseph Blasi, chairman of the homecoming committee.

Several times Talent Nite landed in the briarpatch when unexpected problems descended en masse to plague the show. Most of the problems occurred in the form of absent or ne a r-absent performers, according to Charles Goslee, Talent Nite emcee and Blue Key president. HOMECOMING QUEEN Vicki Curtis almost failed to appear because of illness. Illness in the form of laryngitis also affected two vocal acts in the persons of Jeanette Theriot and Palmer Jarrell. Another delete in the show was the faculty skit. The other problem entailed rewriting the ÜBL skit the night before it was to be given final approval. The rewrite was necessary because of the President's death. SOAB ALMOST ILL Jo Ann Soab almost didn't make it Saturday night. Twenty-four hours meant a lot to the petite Talent Nite winner. It was Sunday night that Jo Ann joined two other vocalists with a case of laryngitis."I HAD BEEN pushing myself all week with little sleep," she explained, "and I knew a cold was brewing." So she fought the cold the best she could with cough drops and aspirin in order to sing her way to individual honors in the 26th annual Blue Key Talent Nite. AS FOR her winning, she said it is still a dream. "I haven't yet come down from the clouds." Campus Queen III Homecoming Queen Vickie Curtis "will probably mi»« the Ball tonight because of a fever and a sore throat," says her mother. Immediately after being crowned queen at Talent Night, Vickie, med tech junior, was forced to leave while the rest of her court viewed the show as is traditionally done. She also missed the Homecoming Game Tuesday night and a cocktail party Sunday. Mrs. Curtis, who is conconcerned about the schoolwork her daughter is missing, added that Vickie is "most unhappy." Oswald Toe' To Talk Here The man who debated Lee Harvey Oswald is scheduled to speak at the Conservative club lecture Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. in Marquette auditorium, according to the Rev. Vincent R. Miceli, S.J., moderator of the club. The speaker to be is Edward Scannell Butler, executive vice-president of the Information Council of the Americas, who debated Oswald on WWL-TV this summer. In his speech, "INCA vs. Oswald," Butler will discuss the anatomy of Lee Oswald's mind. Butler's field of concentration is "Conflict Management." Conflict management has the same relationship to Communism as law does to crime. It is a study which seeks to develop practical answers to Sino-Soviet political and psychological conflict techniques for the security of mankind, said Father Miceli. The speaker has written on this subjectsubject extensively, articles which have helped to define it. Some of these are: "The Forgotten Army," "We Have the Weapons to Win the Brain-War," "Conflict Management," and "Are You a Brain-war Casualty?" All of his articles have attracted wide recognition in the realm of industry, government, and education. During his course of research, Butler has interviewed many refugees from Red takeovers and has done intensive study in Communist fourth dimensional warfare techniques. He is also a member of the National Advisory Committee of the Cold War Council, and is an "Honorary Citizen of Free Cuba." "INCA, a non-profit organization with international links in 16 countries of the Western hemisphere, has its headquarters in New Orleans. It was initiated by Butler. HC Mass Opens Alumni Week A Mass for alumni and a sermon by the Rev. Duval J. Hilbert began Loyola's Homecoming activities Sunday morning. The annual Alumni Homecoming Breakfast was held in the university cafeteria following the Mass. Old grads packed into Holy Name Church to hear Father Hilbert welcome  them and remind all of the moral principles of alma mater and country on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, S.J., president of the university, celebrated the Mass of the Immaculate Conception. Father Hilbert, director of retreats at Xavier hall in Pass Christian, Miss., also spoke at the Alumni Breakfast. He expressed dismay at the improper parental guidance that could be of primary importance in recuiting vocations, instead of the negative factor it often is. "Some parents react violently, and in some cases, negatively, when their son or daughter wants to become a priest or nun," said the Jesuit. In deriding the "all sacrificing" parent, the Jesuit explained that "strong character and devotion to duty" should be developed in children at an early age. The oldest living Loyola graduate, Judge Arthur Landry (class of 1892), was in attendance at the breakfast. He was presented to the alumni by the Rev. Edward A. Doyle, S.J., vice-president of the university, who welcomed the old grads. Judge Landry, graduate of the College of the Immaculate Conception, predecessor of Loyola, is about 80 years old. Following the breakfast, alumni and their families took a tour of the changing Loyola campus, viewing the new men's dorm and the soon-to-be-completed student center. Father Smith was scheduled to address the alumni yesterday at the Homecoming Luncheon in the Blue Room of the Roosevelt hotel. The Homecoming Ball at 9 pm and a midnight breakfast in the Jung hotel are slated for tonight, ending Loyola's Homecoming '63. Student Center . . . It is amazing what a few years can do. These returning alumni wander through the unfinished Student Center on their tour of the campus. A part of Homecoming, the tour followed the traditional mass and breakfast. PICTURE ON PAGE 3
