VIII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLKANS, LA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1929 No. 5 SOPHOMORES WIN HAUSMANN EVENT OVER FROSH TEAM Hausmann Trophy Competition is Begun on Loyola Campus Tuesday The sophomore class of Loyola was victorious over the freshmen in the annual tug-of-war which was, held Tuesday evening on the local j football field. The contest was held I at 12:15 p. m. and was staged under] the supervision of the unversity Student Council. The event, which had been postponed on two previous occasions because of the wet condition of the field, was witnessed on Tuesday by a large gathering of spectators from all departments of the i.nivuisity. The tug-of-war was the first in a ; series of six contests between the students of the lower classes for the temporary acquisition of the Hausniann Trophy, which is awarded each year to the class proving its superiority in literary and athletic competition. The sophomores, by virtue of their victory in the tug-of-war need only to triumph in three of the remaining contests in order to have their class numerals inscribed upon the silver cup. In order to secure a tie in the competition, only two further victories are needed. The remaining events, which will be held at various dates throughout the j scholastic year, are a debate, an essay, an oratorical contest, a basketball game and a soccer meet. According to an announcement of Gerard A. Rault, president of the Student Council, the next event on the schedule of competition will i probably be the essay. Selected mem- j hers from each class will submit; papers on a chosen subject which i will be judged by a committee of I faculty members. Dean of Ohio State Visits Loyola Law Department l'rofessor H. W. Arant, dean of the law school of Ohio State University, visited the Loyola law department last Friday in order to inspect the facilities and curriculum of the local university for the Association of American Law Schools. Professor Arant will render a report of his inspection at the annual meeting of the American Law Schools, which will be held in New Orleans within the next few weeks. Because of the inspection, classes in the law department were held as usual on Friday morning but a holiday was granted to the students on Monday of this week. Classes were resumed on Tuesday morning and the law students settled down for a month of study before the Christmas holidays and the mid-term examinations immediately thereafter. GLEE CLUB CONSTITUTION WILL BE FORMED BY MEMBERS Paul Azar and Howard Fabacher, junor Arts and Scence students, have been apponted as a committee to draw up for approval a constitution for the University Glee Club at its regular meeting last Monday night. Since the stability of the organization is assured, it is necosary that both Mr. Jacobs and the members have some .fixed set of rules by which the actions of the club may be controlled and its purpose clearly set forth. Mr. Jacobs has announced that the Glee Club is now preparing for its initial appearance of the year over WWL, the university radio station. Meeting's during examination'wJEiek had been called off because of the inability of members to attend the meetings; but now that the examinations ai'e over, practice has been resumed again in earnest. In addition to the regular Monday and Thursday night meetings, each section of the club will have a short practice session during the noon lunch hour. These practices will be under the leadership of Francis Achee, president of the club. WOLF "Dtaff Engaged in the Securing of Advertisements for Annual With the completion of the class ind fraternity pictures for the 1930 Wolf, attention is now being concentrated on the advertisement section. This end of the book is progressing very slowly and it is important that the required number of advertisements be obtained, for upon the success of this drive will depend the financial stability of the annual. The Wolff staff is seeking the aid and support of the student body. All students and friends of the university have been requested by the management to make an effort to receive one or two ads for the Wolf. Anyone who wishes to place an ad in the book is requested to get in touch with Bob Ainsworth or Paul Azar. Snapshots have been coming in rather slowly, but a number of very interesting pictures of familiar scenes about the campus have been obtained. Students have been urged to submit any pictures that may be useful in this line—any photo that is characteristic of some campus activity or tradition. Hamil Cupero is in charge of this section of the yearbook.Although all the pictures have been turned in, proofs will not be ready until the latter part of next weeks, according to the Varenholt Studio Co., official photographers for the Wolf. To Loyola Students Chief among the many factors that contribute to the building of a real university is school spirit. It is this elusive, intangible thing which makes your Alma Mater be to you the greatest school on earth. In past years, Loyola students were characterized by their intense school spirit. Under its uplifting influence, school activities flourished, and an air ofj friendliness and comradship; dwelled in the corridors of Loyola. At football games our stu- j dent section rocked with roars: of encouragement, not only1 when our men were victorious, but even more so when they suf- j fored defeat. T.hrJ sV'dentf of Loyola, is school (spirit, that is Loyola spirit! Is it possible that this year the real Loyola spirit has fled the campus? That its throne is now occupied by the usurper, indifference? This seems to be the case. Campus activities are j dormant, only a handful of students have attended the various pep meetings and bonfire celebrations. At football games the cheering from our student section, despite the valiant efforts of our cheerleaders, is; feeble and spasmodic. This situation must be remedied. How? By every student developing in himself real IxDy-i ola spirit, that spirit which demands you to give the very best that is in you to your school, even at a cost of personal comfort. That spirit which impels you to attend all pep meetings, | whether by dav or night, even if such attendance demands that you throw aside your novel, cancel social engagements, and crawl out on a cold night. That spirit which induces you to break your custom of dining and dancing at one of the smart roofs, and attend Loyola dances, when Loyola entertains. Tonight is one of the last pep meetings of the year. Be in the auditorium at nine o'clock. Give your cheer leaders some inkling of the pep they are going to see displayed at the game tomorrow. Come to that game, primed to cheer with conviction, with enthusiasm, with contagious pep—to cheer as you have seldom cheered before. Bo ai the Loyola-Centenary Dance tomorrow night, and prnve to our critics that Loyola students do attend Loyola dances. These things do—and Loyola spirit will reign again! LOYOLA STUDENT COUNCIL, Gerald A. Rault, President.
