LOYOLA TO INSTALL PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL A Pan-Hellenic Council of Fraternities is to be inaugurated at Loyola this year, according to VVm. Ruggeii, S. J., regent of the College of Arts and Science. Father Ruggeri explains that the Pan-Hellenic Council will be composed of one representative from each fraternity and the Faculty Director of Student Activities, in which capacity he is serving at the present time. The purpose of the Council is to secure harmony between the various fraternities and to avoid conflict in the dates of public functions, both among the fraternities, and between the fraternities and the Student Council. With the Pan-Hellenic Council, there will be no possibility of two university affairs conflicting with one another. STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE TO BE HELD IN GYM TONIGHT The Student Council will hold its j first dance of the year tonight, imj mediately following the Loyola-Oglethorpe game. As a special allowance to the first-year students, freshmen will be allowed to bring dates to this affair, but not to the football games, according to Gerard A. Rault, Pres; ident of the Student Council. An j excellent orchestra has been engag! Ed, and the dance is expected to be one of the outstanding events in the Council's history. President Rault has announced that if sufficient funds are gathered from the year's series of dances, tennis courts will be installed on the Loyola Campus. The authorities of the University have already consented to the project and if sufficient revenues are gathered courts will be installed before the close of the present term. The regular meeting of the Council will be held this year on Wednesdays at 7 P. M. instead of 12:30 P. j M., which was the custom las'. year. I t b LOYOLA BROADCASTS VARIED PROGRAM Loyola Radio Station WWL has prepared a varied fourteen hour per week broadcasting schedule, that I tends to surpass any heretofore atj ttempted a the studio. Under the su- I pervision of the capable Jack Pasquet, whe by hia clear announcing has become one of the most popular Loyola announcers thus far to face the I "mike," the station will be on the air nightly. Many local orchestras have been engaged to render future musical entertainment, while in the athletic line the National Sport at present is the headliner, last week the Dixie Series was given play by play, while at presj ent the World Series is holding the i spotlight. The Sunday program is probably the best of the entire week. In the morning the High Mass and Sermon from the Church of the Holy Name is radiocast. While beginning promptly at 6:30 P. M. the singing of the ! male choir at the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is put on the air. I Immediately following this, Father I Wallace Burk, S. J., Dean of the Department of History at Loyola Uni| vcrsity, gives his weekly lectures on j Religion and the Church of Christ from the Sacred Scriptures and Tradition in the light of history. Father ' Burk limits his discussions to twenty . minutes and they have proven very popular with the listeners-in, judging from the numerous communications he receives. Followers of the Wolf Pack who are unable to attend the football games will be glad to hear that those played : later in the season will be broadcasted iby WWL. Owing to the allotment j of time for broadcasting, Loyola has I not been able to go on the air with her night games, but all day games, will be given play by play, as they I were last year.
