Frank Annis and Clifford Hopkins made the registered grade, while S. C. Anastasio, Urban Allan, and Nick Petitjean qualified as assistants. Edward Henry Walsdorf, president of the board, addressed the class, reminding the successful candidates of the responsibilities they were to assume as registered pharmacists, their duty to the public and to themselves. "You have proven your fitness but do not slack in your zeal for more knowledge, better work, greater accomplishments, and for the maintenance of the high standard of our chosen profession," said Mr. Walsdnrf. "Co-operate with the medical profession, and through your work let the physicians know that the reliable pharmacist is the right hand of the doctor, because by the co-operation of both the public is best served." Mr. Walsdorf spoke at length on the duties of the registered pharmacist, impressing the students with the significance of the honor that as registered pharmacist was being bestowed upon them. LENTEN SERMONS AT LOYOLA CHURCH The Titles and Character of Christ the King Shown by Fr. ReviUe Fr. John Reville who is preaching the lenten sermons at the Loyola University church delivered his third discourse, Wednesday evening, February 24, on 'The Titles of Christ's Kingship."Quoting the encyclical of Pope Pius XI. Fr. Reville showed that the Holy Father declares that "it has been customary to bestow upon Christ the title of his lordship over all created things." The encyclical specifies the domain of this lordship; the mind of men, because Christ is the Truth; the will of man, because He was submissive to the Will of the Father, and He influences the human will by the inspiration of His grace; and, lastly, the hearts of men, because of the love He has for man which surpasses comprehension. Graphically relating the dream of Nebuchadnezzar and the interpretation of it by the prophet Daniel, Father Reville showed that Daniel foretold that Kingdom of Christ. Another passage of scripture was exposed, the words of Gabriel: "In His Kingdom there shall be no end." Enlarging on this utterance of the archangel, Father Reville proved that "by the necessity of His mission, since He came to proclaim a new religion, Christ had to show His credentials and make good His claims. FR. BURKE GIVES LECTURES AT JESUIT CHURCH Will Talk on Materialism, Science and Faith. Father Martin Burke, professor of philosopohy, will give a series of Lenten lectures at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Baronne street beginning Tuesday, February 23 and continuing until Thursday, March 25.

OF BACTERIOLOGY Professors Tiblier and Merilh Succeed Dr. Pothier. The courses conducted by Dr. Pothier, lately deceased, have taken over by Profesiori S. 1,. Tiblier, D. D. S.. and K. I. Merilh. M. S. To Professor Merilh who was associated with Dr. Pothicr for six years lias been assigned the technician's laboratory in bacteriology. He is familiar with the methods of Dr. Pothicr and will direct the technicians in laboratory analysis. The fitness of Professor Mehilh to continue the training of the technicians is evidenced by the frequent assignments given to him by Dr. Pothier during the six years he was associated with him in his work. On two occasions. 1923 and 1925, Professor Merilh went to France where he met at Paris Dr. Brumpt, chief of the parisitological department of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, and Dr. Joyeux, his assistant. The subjects peculiar to the dental department, such as histology, bacteriology and pathology will be handled by Dr. S. L. Tiblier. These courses were formerly taught by Dr. Pothier. Dr. Tiblier after completing the four year dental course at Loyola was graduated D. D. S. in 1923. Loyola University is confident that it has entrusted to capable professors the work so ably performed by the late Dr. Pothier. ORCHESTRA TO PLAY OVER WWL According to word given out by Titta Ruffo, assistant director of the Loyola Orchestra, engagements are being booked rapidly. It is understood that the orchestra will broadcast over station WWL in the near future. The date of the performance has not been definitely set but will be announced very soon. THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The University seriously desires to preserve and foster in the student body the Loyola spirit. Traditions and regulations governing the relationship of classes must be observed. The upperclassmen should be the models of the University's ideals, and the guardians of its spirit Under no conditions, however, will the University permit the theory or practice of enforcing- traditions and regulations by the use of physical violence, hazing, or any acts of college rowdyism. Students entering the University who refuse to conform to college regulations and traditions, will be requested, when proved guilty of such attitude, to withdraw from the University. President. LOYOLA DENTAL JOURNAL ISSUED TO STUDENTS Issue Contains Many Articles of Genera] Interest. The Loyola Dental Journal made its first appearance of the year last Thursday afternoon when the February number was issued. The Dental Journal has been improved in many of its features due to the efforts of the new staff recently elected. The leading article for the issue is by Dr. Joseph E. Psayla of the Loyola dental faculty who writes on " A Survival of the Fittest." In his opening paragraph Dr. Psayla says "A thorough understanding and appreciation in the employment of fundamentals must be recognized as the first requisite for enduring success in any branch of endeavor." The doctor goes on to show how the dentist, by knowing the fundamentals of his profession, can save himself much of the trouble and annoyance which lack of knowledge would occasion him. L. D. Hart writes on "Plastic Porcelain Fillings Use and Manipulation." This is a technical which is of especial interest to dental students in the clinic. "Co-operation Between the Dentist and the Orthodontist For the Patient's Welfare," by Robert W. Gaston, D. D. S., is an article which urges the graduate dentist to interest himself in the work of the Orthodontist. "The work of the Orthodontist," states Dr. Gaston "is primarily an effort towards bringing about a nominal development and growth of structures of the mouth so that when the child has reached manhood or womanhood his mouth may be in the best possible condition to perform the functions for which it was intended. The Dentist is, of course, as vitally interested in this as is the orthodontist." A. R. Schermerhorn, D. D. S-, treats of the "Various Salivary Reactions as Affected by Soapless and Soap Containing Dcntrifice." Dr. J. C. McMahon writes on "Pyorrhea Alveolaris" as "one of the system's greatest foci of infection." STUDENT MAYOR TO BE CHOSEN ON MARCH 19 Election time again draws near. It is the custom at Loyola to elect a Mayor of the student body whenever there is an election for Mayor of the city. Due to Mayor Behrman*s recent death, there is a vacancy in the city government down town. Due to Mayor Dullenty's departure from school there is a vacancy in the university government. The election for city Mayor will be held on March 12. Under the student council ruling, however, the election for Mayor of Loyola University, which is purely an honorary job, will take place on March 19, exactly one week after the city election date. The student council ruled at its meeting on March 2, that any student may be nominated for election. It is expected, however, that those who were the most prominent in the different parties last year will meet privately this week and decide on the men who will represent their respective parties in the forthcoming election. Last year it will be remembered, there was a hot race between John Dulleuty. Sam Impastato and Stanley Hava, with John Dullenty, candidate of the Ear-regular party, coming out ahead in the election. The Ear-regular party, it is understood, has plans under way to place their candidate again this year. The results on March 19 will show whether thtir plans go through or not. Meanwhile, the other parties are also active and it is rumored that there will be an independent party this year. Ring rule, it is said, must be ousted from universityDATE FOR ORATORY FINALS DECIDED ON Affair Will Be Staged Soon in Auditorium. The finals of the oratorical contest will be held at the Marquette Auditorium Friday March 12th. The contest will he staged at night and not in the afternoon, as for the prelims. Five men FR. SULLIVAN FIRM IN STAND AGAINST HAZING CUSTOM President Will Expel Any Student Guilty of "Ratting." In a speech before the largest audience that has gathered in Marquette Hall auditorium this year, Rev. Father Sullivan, president of Loyola, plainly stated that no form of hazing would be tolerated by the university authorities. He gave out as his reason the detrimental effect of hazing and the American's natural aversion to this practice. Father Sullivan, in bringing out the detrimental effect, cited several instances where universities had fallen into disrepute on account of hazing. The uppcrclassmen, he said, had carried the tradition too far with the result that the practice became an evil. The president also stated that the situation could not be remedied by the student body, pointing out that other schools had made a futile effort to stop hazing in this manner. The only means then, he added, was for the faculty to step in and take a hand before the state of affairs grew worse. Father Sullivan, however, did not object to freshmen rules, but firmly upheld this traditional custom. "Moreover, before I close, I wish you to get this point clearly," said the president. "If any upperclassman is found guilty of hazing, he will be instantly dismissed from the university. On the other hand, if any freshman is caught breaking the rules, he will also be expelled." In a private interview, Father Sullivan stated that he did not approve of "rat parties," for he considers them only mild forms of hazing. "Physical violence would necessarily be a part of the proceedings if any freshman refused to do exactly as he was told by the Sophomores," he said. It is understood, therefore, that any upperclassman guilty of "ratting" a freshman will be promptly expelled from the university, as "ratting," under the president's ruling, is a form of hazing. IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE ON WWL New Location Increases Effectiveness of Station. Among the artists who entertained over station WWL February 20, were Miss Sally C. Manor, soprano soloist, and Mrs. Stella Steve, piano soloist. The selections rendered by Miss Manor were of a classical nature, while those of Mrs. Steve were the popular kind.. Numerous requests for special selections were received from the unseen audience. Reports of extreme clearness were wired from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Cuba, and many other distant points. With the changing of the station to Burke Memorial many other improvements have been made. The aerial is now between Marquette building and (Continued on Page 2.) (Continued on Page 2.)
