FRANCIS KAMMER DIES AFTER FATAL ILLNESS Loyola lost one of her favorite sons when the death of Francis Kamnier occurred at Hotel Dieu on Friday, October 22. "Peck," as he was always called by his schoolmates and numerous comrades, had been confined to his bed for some weeks preceding his decease. An infected hip-bone contaminated his blood to such an extent that a severe case of blood-poisoning set in and, in spite of the best physical attention, he soon succumbed to the malady. He was buried from Holy Name Church at Loyola on Saturday morning. October 23. The requiem mass was performed by Father Navin. who was served by Blanchard. Glas, Tujague and Egan, all students of Loyola and fraternity brothers of Kammer. Fathers Sullivan, O'Conner, Burke, Mulry, Entz, King and Foulkes also assisted in the ceremony. As a student and gentleman Kammer was always considered a worthy example. He was always alert to the call of duty and ready to lend a helping hand in the undertakings of others. As a member of the Loyola band, the Dramatic Club, the Sodality and various other student organizations, he aided in the material advancement of his school and its activities. CAPTAIN SPEAKS TO STUDENTS NAVY DAY Shows Where Navy Is Necessary to Protect Policies. _ "We need a navy because we have policies here and abroad to protect, and a nation is only as strong as its navy," said Captain Trausig oi the j United States cruiser Trenton, when j he addressed the members of the arts and science department in Marquette Auditorium on Navy Day. "Take China for instance." he continued. "She had policies but did not have a strong enough navy to protect them. Consequently China was the j prey of greedy nations who wished to control her trade. And this would have been the case had the United States not intervened, with her navy, and saved the ill-protected nation, by stating that China was open for trade with all nations." "We all believe in peace," said the speaker, "but the pacifists wants to do away with the navy. He holds that the navy is the cause of war. At that rate, we may as well do away with our police since it would be the cause of crime." The captain went on to show that it wasn't very expensive to maintain the navy. At present the government is spending $.3,000,000 annually in keeping up its maritime force. That means only three dollars per capita, pointed out Captain Trausig. which is very cheap insurance. The Captain invited the students to go aboard and inspect the Trenton. It is a light cruiser. 550 feet long, with 100,000 horse-power engines, and capable of making great speed. NATL FRATERNITY GIVES CHAPTER TO ALPHA PHI DELTAS Installation of Edgar Howard Farrar Senate Takes Place During Summer. There are now three national Luw Fraternities at Loyola. On July 2, 1926, the Delta Theta Phi fraternity blazed a trail into the South with the installation of Edgar Howard Farrar Senate, composed of students o: the Loyola Law School. Several years ago a group of Loyola law students, desiring to perpetuate their school friendship in later professional life, formed Alpha Phi Delta, a local Greek letter society, one of the first organizations of its kind on Loyola campus. It was not long until members of Alpha Phi Delta realized Commerce and Finance Night Course Improved In order to meet the constantly increasing demand for young men and women who are able to cope with the problems of economic reconstruction, the university has greatly improved its night course of commerce and finance by adding to the curriculum a number of instructors whose experience entitles them to speak with authority. They are: Mr. John V. Connors, Ph. D„ business economics am! sociology, and Mr. Arthur M. Curtis I.T, B„ commercial law. Instructors in accountancy. all whom are certified public ac, countants, arc: Mr. Frank Youngman, Mr. Thomas Dubourg, Mr. Charles Seeinan, Mr. Louis Pilie and Mr. Sidney Bourgeois. These lecturers arc men who arc experts in their respective branches, and they base their lectures upon the most practical and efficient business methods. The department also offers courses in Spanish. The object is to give a thorough and practical knowledge of this language to business men and women. Correct and technical commercial forms of expression are featured. These classes are very valuable to those interested in foreign trade, secretarial, or correspondence work. LIBRARY EXTENSION OPENS NEXT WEEK The new extension to the Bohet Library, opposite the dean's office, will he opened to the entire studen* body sometime next week. The shelves have been installed and the tables and chairs arranged in the room. All are invited to visit the new extension and to make known their wants to the librarian. During the last week a great 'lumber of books on Social Science, concerning socioliogy and economics, to be used by pupils of Mr. Connor's day an J night classes in economics were installed. A number of reference books, pertaining to mathematics and English, were also received. HOLLYWOOD MOVES TO LOYOLA STADIUM Hollywood seemed to have moved out to Loyola stadium for a short while 011 Wednesday afternoon, October 20, when Mae McAvoy, film actress, and her cohorts, swept onto the gridiron for the purpose of shooting a few scenes with the football team. And the manner in which Miss Mc- Avoy handled herself as quarterback whilst the photographer was grinding away on the camera shows that Hollywood is not at all out-of-place among the beef-and-brawn grid warriors. She was undoubtedly a worthy substitute for Bucky Moore, although she did have to reward the Dixie! Flyer with a little kiss to make him relinquish his position. Bucky registered no perceptible objection, but was pathetically abashed. While the charming young actress was making her debut as a Wolf, she was cheered by a large number of students who had gathered to greet her. In one scene when she was posing with the squad, she was given a basket of American beauty roses by Grace Taylor, representing the Lambda Tau Lambda sorority. Miss McAvoy's visit was due to the efforts of Mr. William Coker and Mr. B. S. DAntoni, members of the Athletic Council. She came to New Orleans to be present at the premiere of "The Fire Brigade," in which she j played the leading role. GANUCHEAU IS HEAD OF DRAMATIC CLUB Succeeds Howard Bogner As President of Thespians. The election of officers of the Dramatic Civil), which took place last week, resulted in the replacement of Howard Bogner as president by Paul Ganucheau, a sophomore of the arts and ' science department, and the election of Gerard Rault and Harvey Strayhan to the positions of vice-president and secretary, respectively. Rault succeeds I Hilary Gaudin and Strayhan replaces | Malcolm Schwarzenbach. Both Ganucheau and Rault have had considerable experience as members of I the Philelectic Society of the local Jesuits High School, of which they were vice-president and president, respectively, in 11J25,llJ25, and have participated in numerous amateur stage productions as well as debates and should, therefore, prove fully capable of handling their duties at the head of the Loyola Dramatic Club. Strayhan is from Shreveport where he has been affiliated with amateur theatricals for some time. His work ! in last year's production entitles him to rank with the best amateur actors seen in New Orleans for some time, and i his election is a well-merited honor. Father O'Connor is taking charge of the Dramatic Club this season and as he is exceedingly well acquainted with the subject, should have little difficulty in directing the plays. There is a possibility that the Dramatic Club will produce a series of one-act plays during the course of the year, bef re staging their annual production, instead of giving only one play as was done last year. SENIOR LAW CLASS GIVES FELLOWSHIP BOAT RIDE TONIGHT Entertains Day and Night Departments with Dance on Island Queen. With the object of bringing the various branches of both the night and day school into closer fellowship the senior night law class, together with the entire night department, has chartered the steamer Island Queen for a gala boat ride and dance on the Mississippi river at eight-thirty to-night. Tickets have been placed in the hands of each class president, and the students are urged to purchase them now, as none will be sold at the wharf. This is the first affair of its sort ever attempted at Loyola, but judging from the numerous comments passed around the campus during the past week the students are enthusiastic and will turn out for the hoatride almost a hundred per cent. The sale of tickets yesterday passed the 1.800 mark, and it is expected to be near .3,000 before five o'clock this afternoon. The committee formed to take charge of the entertainment includes Chester A. Ptyronin of the Honor Council, chairman; John J. Conners. president ex-officio of the night law seniors; Richard Crosby, secretary of the senior class; John H. Carter, sophomore president; Stiffel, freshman president; and F Jackson, president of the student council. The Y. W. O. 1., and the Marquette, two of the ladies' auxiliary societies, have pledged their support and arc co-operating with the committee to insure a successful evening.Journal Contract Given to American Printing Co. The contract fnr the printing of the Dental Journal for the coming year has been given to the American Printing Company of New Orleans, according to a recent announcement by members of the Journal staff. As in previous years, the 1926 Journal will be issued quarterly and will make its initial appearance before the students on or about November 10. Some of the more important topics which will be discussed in the November edition will be the business side of dentistry, reports on the American Dental Association's meetings, the questions of the 1926 Dental State Board and autrum operations. Joe Nolan, business manager of the Journal this year, has been busy on the advertising end of the work for several weeks already and is rounding up a representative number of advertisements for the first issue. The establishment of the Loyola Dental School on the plane of a Class A institution is expected to be a great aid in the acquiring of advertisements, as this distinction is an unusual one for a dental school to merit in such a short time, and is bound to gain recognition from local as well as national advertisers.(Continued on I'aKc 7.)
