              The Maroon VOL. VII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1929 No. 12 DEBATERS PREPARE ARGUMENTS TO USE AGAINST OKLAHOMA Loyolans to Defend Modern Jury System Against Attack of Visitors With the recent victory over Ripon College of Ripon Wisconsin as an incentive, the Loyola debating team is preparing for its second encounter in the field of forensics. On April 22 in Marquette Auditorium, Carl Buchmann and Harold Rouchell of Loyola will meet the speakers of Oklahoma Baptist University of Shawnee, Oklahoma. The Oklahomans have an impressive record thus far this season and are well-known throughout the middle west for their talent in oratorical and dramatic lines. Once more the subject of debate will be: "Resolved, That a Substitute for Trial by Jury should be adopted in the United States." This time, however, Loyola will take the negative side in an attempt to defend the jury against the arguments of the Baptists. In this way, the Loyolans will have an opportunity to demonstrate their versatility by defending the system which they successfully condemned last month. The debate will be governed by the same rules and arrangements as was the Kipon encounter. Word from Henry Christophersen, captain and senior member of the Ripon debaters, reveals the fact that Ripon was victorious over Louisiana State University in their debate on the night following the Loyola contest. Christophersen and his colleague, John McDonald, arguing against the jury system, were given the unanimous decision over the upstate university, returned from Baton Rouge to their classes at the Ripon institution. GLEE CLUB BROADCASTS OVER RADIO SATURDAY The second Glee Club concert of the year will be broadcast over WWL tomorrow evening, according to Francis Achee, president of the university gleemen. Selections from the light opera, "The Student Prince" will be featured. Songs chosen for rendition include "The Drinking Song," "The Students' March Song," "Deep in my Heart, Dear," and "Serenade." Several of the latest popular numbers are also included in the repertoire and individual members of the society have been selected to sing them. These include Joe Decell, Francis Aehee, Aline Leftwich and one or two others, possibly Temple Black, Bentley Byrnes or Joe Blasi. It is also expected that Tim Duggan, Arthur Derbes and Temple Black will render several banjo selections. Weekly rehearsals have been held in the Oklahoma Ranch in preparation for the event. VIGNES NAMED PRESIDENT OF NEWLY-INSTALLED DENTAL FRATERNITY Dr. C. Victor Vignes, D.D.S., dean of the university dental school, was elected by the charter members of the Tau chapter of the Omricon Kappa Upsilon fraternity to the position of president at a recent meeting. The local chapter of the honorary professional organization was only recently installed and was awarded Loyola in recognition of its high ranking, among the Class A dental schools in the United States. The fraternity aims to bring together the outstanding men in the profession and to offer inducements to graduating students. A feature which meets with the hearty approval of Father O'Donohoe is the awarding of gold keys annually to honor students of the graduating classes in colleges having a chapter of the fraternity. In addition to these awards, a gold key will likewise be awarded each year to the doctor of dental surgery, operating in this district, who has been adjudged as having accomplished some specially commendable work or achievement. Other officers of the Tau chapter who were elected to aid Dr. Vignes in conducting the affairs of the fraternity here are Dr. Robert Gaston, D.DjS., vice-president, and Dr. Edward Gamard, D.D.S., secretary-treasurer. A committee on by-laws includes Dr. Albin P. Dansereau, D.D.S., Dr. Gonzalo Rosada, D.D.S., and Dr. Ben Matthews, D.D.S. PRELIMINARY WORK ON 1929 WOLF COMPLETED Jacques Yenni, editor of The Wolf, has announced that practically all preliminary work on the 1929 edition of the annual has been completed. Copy for the feature and the ssport section as well as pictures of practically every student, have been forwarded to Benson Bros., which firm is against handling: the printing end of the work. The pictures taken Monday by the Varenholt Studios are positively the last which will be used in The Wolf, stated Yenni, as it is now too late to have additional photos taken. Students who neglected to have theirs taken will simply be omitted from the coming issue. Proofs of all the copy as well as the cuts of the pictures, are arriving at The Wolf office steadily and as fast as they are received they are being corrected in order that no delay will be encountered in having the book completed on time. The business staff is still anxious to have the student body assist them in filling the advertising section of the book, and each individual student is asked to co-operate by securing one advertisement. Advertising rates and other information may be obtained either from Hilary Gaudin, business manager, Jacques Yenni, editor, or Robert Ainsworth, assistant editor. LOYOLA SODAUSTS HOSTS AT MEETING OF 30 DELEGATES Eleven Local Schools Represented by Speakers who Report on Recent Activities Representative! of eleven local Catholic schools, about thirty in number, were in attendance at the convocation of sodalities held in the Marquette auditorium Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Loyola Sodality. Jacques Yenni, president of the Loyola group, presided. Each of the sodalities had two or more delegates at the meeting and of this number fully half delivered brief reports on the progress of their ROUCHELL TO EDIT MAROON NEXT YEAR Harold M. Rouchell, of New Orleans, a junior Arts and Science student, was apopinted editor of The Maroon for the 1929-30 term by a committee composed of Rev. Andre J. deMonsabert, faculty advisor of the publication, Richard Drown, editor, and Joseph Abraham, managing editor. Though the new editor will not assume his duties until next September it was thought wise to make the selection as early as possible in order that he might have sufficient time to familiarize himself with the responsibilities he will undertake. Both Drown and Abraham complete their courses this year, which means that an entire new editorial staff will be in charge next fall. The new editor will name the remainder of next year's staff at a later date. Rouchell is at present serving as feature editor of The Maroon, a position which he has filled for two years. He also holds the office of secretary in the Thespians and is a member of the university debating team. MEXICAN PROGRAM IS BROADCAST OVER WWL A program of music dedicated to Mexico and the Latin-American countries was broadcast Thursday evening over the university radiocasting station, WWL, under the patronage of Senor Alejandro Carrillo, consul general of Mexico in New Orleans. The concert was one of the series of similar events conducted by WWL in conjunction with the various local representatives of foreign countries. Senor Carrillo spoke on the existing cordial relations between the United States and Mexico, stressing the importance and the necessity of friendship between the two nations. The musical program was directed by Virgilio Rosado, and included the following artists: Guy Bernard, Carlos Caracashian, Diruhi Caracashian, Joseph Sehultz, Efrian Garcia, Lina Alessandro, Luis Rsoda and Alex Dumestre. NEW YORK DENTIST WILL DELIVER SERIES OF LECTURES HERE Dr. Paul R. Stillman, D.D.S., of New York City, the author of several technical works on dentistry and one of the most highly-regarded men in the profession, will deliver a series of lectures in Bobet Hall beginning March 21, according to word received by Rev. E. J. O'Donohoe, regent of the College of Dentistry. In a letter to Father O'Donohoe, Dr. Stillman stated that he was including Loyola in the list of universities to be covered during his present tour and would speak before the assembled dental student body on the study and care of the teeth. Though the lectures will be for the most part of a technical nature and can be appreciated only by persons having an intimate knowledge of the advanced branches of dentistry, indications are that the huge chemistry class room which will be used during the lecture will be taxed to capacity by students, members of the faculty and other interested persons. Sixteen lectures will comprise the program and local dentists as well as Loyola students will be invited to attend. Dr. Stillman's work, "A Textbook of Clinical Periodontia," has been accepted as an authority in the field and it will be along the lines treated in the book that his lectures will be conducted. During the past few weeks he has been lecturing at the University of Southern California. STUDENTS MAY ATTEND C M. T. C THIS SUMMER Enrollments for accommodations in the Citizens' Military Camps, which began on March 1, are being accepted in New Orleans by Colonel Hu B. Myers at Room 319, Customhouse Building, according to the recent announcement of Major General Richmond P. Davis, commanding the Fourth Corps Area. The summer C. M. T. C. camps are held annually beginning June 13 and extending over a period of thirty days. Any young man between the ages of 17 and 24 may apply for attendance at the camps but applicants have been urged to turn in their names early as thousands were disappointed last year. Louisiana was the first state in the union to exceed its quota in 1928. According to the bulletin issued by the C. M. T. C. officials, military training is not the primary object of these camps and attendance at them means no obligation for future military service. The training at the camp stresses citizenship, self-reliance, initiative and good fellowship. All necessary expense including transportation, camp facilities, food, clothing, laundry, medical examinations and attendance and services of instructors is furnished free by the government. The New Orleans and southern Louisiana boys who enroll for the : camp go to Fort Barrancas, near Pensacola, Florida. UNIVERSITY RADIO SEEMS LIKELY TO RETAIN ITS STATUS Presents Strong Case Before Federal Commission at Hearing Although no decision has yet been rendered by the federal radio commission regarding the case of station WWL of Loyola and KWKH of Shreveport against station KVOO of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a strong case was presented by the Louisiana stations at the recent hearing for the retention by Louisiana of full time on the cleared 850 kilocycle channel. The case opened before the commission Wednesday morning, February 20. F. B. Dow, Washington attorney, opened the case for the Tulsa station. J. M. Grimmett of Shreveport, who had been appointed by Governor Huey Long to represent the state of Louisiana at the hearing was denied this right on the grounds that states under past rulings may not become a specific party to such a case. He was given permission to act as an interested party with a right to appear during the hearing. Grimmett also represented W. K. Henderson, owner of the Shreveport station, KWKH. William B. Estes, secretary of the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce was the first witness to take the stand for KVOO. Estess merely gave statistics in an attempt to prove that Oklahoma was one of the most progressive states of the union. He declared that the state of Oklahoma wished to be immune from "slang and vulgarity over the air," but he did not state to which station he was referring. He tried to enter aa evidence a resolution signed by all the Chambers of Commerce in Oklahoma, representing 623,000 members, asking the commission to grant KVOO its request and supporting the patst service of the station but this evidence was ruled out by the commission.SPANISH CLUB PREPS FOR THREE-ACT PLAY Rehearsals for the forthcoming Spanish Club presentation of "Fortunato," a comedy in three acts, which will be presented during the latter part of the month, have been going, forward rapidly under the direction of Miss Emma Douglass, who is being assisted by Miss Jessie Montejo, head of the university Spanish department.

The title role of '"Fortunato" will be played by Joseph Abraham, while other parts have been awarded John Ouitliber, Bob Ainsworth, Edward Conway, Bentley Byrnes, Rene Nicaud and Patout Burns. Early rehearsals have been confined to the first act and this portion of the play has been thoroughly mastered. The actors will proceed to the remaining two acts next week. (Continued on page 3)
