Sullivan spoke to member! of the college department concerning the Martin Behrnian playground memorial fund.

Accepting the invitation of the committee in charge of the dedication day ceremonies at Louisiana State University to deliver an address today in behalf of church colleges in Louisiana, Father Sullivan, president of Loyola University, thanked L. S. U. for the gracious invitation given to him to be with it on such an occasion. Sounding the keynote of church education. Father Sullivan declared that there was no hostility between church schools and the State University. For Loyola University, as well as for the other colleges under church control. the motto of education was "Deo et I'atriae." F.ducators in church colleges have the same high ideals as those of the State University. The former cooperate with the latter in striving to produce types of educated citizens who will faithfully serve city, state, country and God. WWL BROADCASTS STANOCOLA SONGS Local Quartet Renders Splendid Program. Broadcasting its regular Saturday night program. WWL, Loyola University station, offered a htgh-clatl millical entertainment. Saturday evening, April 17. The celebrated Stanocola Quartet of \cw Orleans, delighted WWL fans with a varied and well-balanced selection of vocal numbers. Under the direction of Mrs. Marietta Alphonse McMurray of the New Orleans Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art. the Stanocola Quartet made up of L. K. Thoman. base; W. M. Asbury. baritone; D. 1.. Weber, tenor; C. .1. Mc- Murray. tenor, opened their program with "Stanocola Anthem." If the nation must have its anthem to stir the hearts of citizens to pride and patriotism, a national corporation like Standard Oil rightfully sings its anthem. The humorous words and the catchy melody of the Stanocola Anthem won favor immediately. Gasoline and Polarine soothes the knocks and shocks of automobiles. Either of them is a treat that can't be beat. The audience agreed that the Stanocola singers were as good as the oil they praised so well. The second number was the everloved "Carry Me Back To Old Virgiqny." The plaintive rendition of this ballad by the Stanocola Quartet made the listeners "long to go" to "where de cotton and de corn and taters grow." DRAMATIC CLUB STAGES PLAY AT TULANE TONIGHT Will Present "A Tailcr Made Man." The local dramatic presentation. "A Tailol Made Man." will be staged tonight at eight o'clock in the Tulane Theatre. Those who have witnessed the rehearsals of the last week predict that the play will make a big hit. The characters are all exceptionally handled with Malcolm Schwarzenbach, as John Paul Bart, in the title role. The play is adapted from the comedy of the same name by Harry James Smith. John Paul Bart, an ambitious and likeable young man, works as a presser in the tailor shop of Anton Huber. He is somewhat abused by his employer who, old fashioned German that he is, looks upon John Paul's twentieth century ideas as a lot of foolishness. John Paul is likewise scoffed at by Peter, Anton's assistant and by Dr. Sonntag. a German student and the fiancee of Huber's daughter. Tanya. But John Paul is an optimist and as he tells Dr. Sonntag, "Why, with your ideas and with my personality and self-confidence. I could set the world on fire." And Franz, who is a great admirer of John Paul's independent spirit, openly agrees with him. One afternoon, Huber being out of the shop on business, John Paul "borrows,, a dress suit that he is supposed to deliver and put his ideas into effect. How he fares and the outcome of his experiences are cleverly depicted in the play. Bill Ritchey takes the part of Stanl;'w. a big, blustering newly-rich business man; Joe Decell is the wideawake young reporter; Gerald Rault as the crabby old tailor; Ganucheau as the New York tough; Strayhan, as Huber's Americanized son; and Cain. the Knglish fop. The rest of the cast includes Howard Bogner, as Dr. Sonntag; Patout Burns, Pomcroy; Jerry Tujague. Stanlaw's son; Cornelius Voorhies, Fitzniorris; Philip Laßruyere. Jellicot; William Dardis. Grayson ; and James D. Bloom, Wheating. Music will be by the Loyola Orchestra under the direction of Armand Daigle.

This was the statement which was made by Wallace M. Nicaud, president of the council. "Each student," he said, "will be expected to give according to his means."

NEGATIVES WIN DAY LAW DEBATE Nowalsky, Estalote and Guion Kill Prohibition Amendment. The Frosh Day Law Class debated Friday. April 16 the question: Resolved that the Prohibition Amendment is for the betterment of the United States. The affirmative speakers were Rergeron, Schellhaas and McDermott; the negative Nowalsky, Estalote. and Guion. Plauche Villere acted as chairman and introduced the question. He reminded the speakers that parliamentary rules were to be observed and all personal attacks to be avoided. Bergeron opened the debate lor the affirmatives. His main argument in favor of the question was the benefits the prohibition amendment brings to the wage-earners. These benefits are seen in the increased prosperity of the working classes. Nowalsky speaking first for the negatives argued that the prohibition amendment is a death blow to the liberty of individuals because it forbids what is not wrong in itself. The second affirmative speaker was Schellhaas, whose chief argument in favor of the amendment was drawn from the testimony of banks which FR. REVILLE WILL ADDRESS NURSES To Speak in Elks Auditorium.
