It is expected that a number of the members of the Senior class will be given bids to the society. Toward the end of the year the Juniors of the College Department will be invited to join in a body, as it is a custom of the organization to install members of the incoming Senior class before the present Senior members graduate. The Gold Caldron, as founded by th class of 1925 of Creighton University, is primarily an organization limited to students of the Arts and Sciences department. No men of any other department are eligible for membership, and only the very highest type of Jesuit graduate is asked to become a member. There are at present some ten chapters of this society in existence, although the number is increasing rapidly throughout the country.

The Student Council entertained students and friends with its annual boat ride and dance aboard the Steamer Capitol last Friday night. The affair was given under the auspices of the athletic council and the seven-hundred or more guests who attended aided in making the event a huge success. In order to create a local atmosphere, the walls and balconies within the spacious dance hall were gaily decorated with maroon and gold streamers and I.oyola banners. This and the excellent music furnished by the wellknown Cotton Pickers' orchestra made a fitting background for the occasion. Nothing was left undone to insure the success of the dance. All other affairs carded for Friday night were called off in order to avoid a conflict. A good thing, for probably no other amusement could have furnished as much enjoyment. The Sigma Alpha Kappa fraternity consented to postpone its party until a later date. The committee, which was composed of James Markey. Remy Gros, and F. Fazzio. deserve particular praise for the manner in which the details of the entertainment were handled. Officials in charge of the boat were pleased with the manner in which the Student Council conducted the dance, and they gave their assistance in helping to put it over. "WAR AND WAY OUT," SUBJECT OF LECTURE IN MARQUETTE HALL "War and the Way Out" was the subject of a lecture delivered in the auditorium, Monday night. February 7, by Henry A. Atkinson, general secretary of the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches. Father Sullivan in introducing the speaker expressed regret that sufficient time had not been given for greater publicity for the lecture. "Catholics." continued Father Sullivan, "have the cause of international peace to their hearts. Ever since the Angels sang their message of peace to men. the Church has always stood for the suppression of war, of war undertaken for national revenge and imperialistic avarice." Mr. Atkinson began by showing that the history of the human race is a history of war. Men and nations have always used force to settle their disputes. The fear of war has ever paralyzed the forward march of civilization. The six-thousand years of human history shows six-thousand wars, a war for every year. The World War, with its dreadful loss of life, money and property, has taught the nations that a new method of settling disputes must be used in the future. This new method is love, not hatred; arbitration through judicial courts, not through engines of destruction.THESPIANS ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS IN PLAYS LAST NIGHT Actors Find Selves Overwhelmed With Applause; Better Than "Tailor Made Man." Presenting their two one-act plays in a manner which would have done credit to an older and more experienced organization, the Loyola Thespians last night found themselves overwhelmed with applause from the opening scene to the fall of the curtain. Their success was even more complete than that of the "Tailor Made Man" of last year, which local critics claimed to lie the best university production seen here in years. The first play was a tragedy, "Thompson's I.uck." in which Harvey Strayhan and Paul Ganucheau had the principal roles. The second. "All Gummed L'p." was a travesty on the modern triangular plot. Benet Cain. Howard Bogner, and Malcolm Schwarzenbach took the leading parts. To say just who carried away the honors of the evening would lie a difficult thing. Ganucheau. as the tightfisted Thompson, and Strayhan. his crippled wife, vied for first honors in the tragedy, while in the comedy Cain, as the Englishman, Treniayne. Bogner. as Doctor Bartlett. a liver specialist, and Schwarzenbach. drew equal applause from the audience. Patout Burns, in the role of Bartlett's better half, kept the house in a continual uproar of laughter. Two football lettermen appeared in prominent parts in the supporting cast, which proves that gridiron stars can Public Speakers Debate on Community Chest "Resolved that the Community Chest drive should he made each year in the city of New Orleans," was the subject of the weekly public-speaking debate conducted by the second-year English class last Friday afternoon. This was one of a series of debates held for the purpose of acquainting the students with lively public questions, and the interest shown thus far reveals that these college men are far from being ignorant of current happenings. During the course of argumentation many arguments for and against the feasibility of conducting a chest drive each year were presented, and the points brought out by each side seemed to be equally convincing to the judges for they rendered no decision at Jhe termination of the debate. The affirmative side was represented by Peter Everest, James Courtin. and Giuffria, while the negative team was composed of Edward Boagni. Walter Lurry, and Joseph Abraham. The debate this afternoon will be whether or not A 1 Smith should be nominated Democratic candidate for the presidency. (Continued on Page 2.) (Continued 011 Page 8.) (Continued on 7.)
