              The Maroon DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL. II NEW ORLEANS, LA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1924 No. 3 LOYOLA DENTAL CLINIC SUPPLIES DEEP FELT NEED TO COMMUNITY Service Rendered Is Unequaled; All Classes Take Advantage of Opportunity Offered. The Dental Clinic of Loyola University began the new semester by welcoming throngs of patients. These patrons are the recipients of dental work the equal of any in the city. All the needed equipment is installed and it is the best. In fact, Loyola has j been assured by many distinguished visitors competent to judge that Loyola is the peer of the best dental j schools in the United States. Of greater value than the equipment is the quality of work being done for the community by the Loyola Dental Clinic. The patients come from the orphanages of St. Joseph, St. Mary and Notre Dame. In addition to these the Public School Health Board sends groups of twenty to Loyola Clinic in charge of nurses. From this list it must not be gathered that Loyola Clinic serves only the poorer children of the city. Well-to-do patrons also have such faith and satisfaction in the service of Loyola Dental Clinic that they choose it for treatment. An idea of the outfit installed at Lovola Dental Clinic can be formed from the fact that 38 chairs are in the clinic. Besides there is a Prosthetic Clinic, an X-ray room, a Prosthetic laboratory, all of which collaborate with the general clinic. The sight of all these up-to-date departments evoke the unsolicited praise of patients and visitors. New Orleans is wonderfully favored in having Loyola Dental C linic for work among the poorer of its citizens. Dental service the equal of the best is done for a small fee. 1 ceth are scoured and cleaned until they glisten, cavities are filled thoroughly; teeth are examined free of charge and other dental work is done so carefully that it challenges and shames the slack work of many so-called expert dentists elsewhere. On the staff of the dental department of Charity Hospital are Doctors Rosado, Mains and Rolling, all graduates of the Loyola Dental course. They are regular lecturers in the Loyola clinic. Associated with them, both in the Loyola course and the Charity Hospital is Doctor Keleher, oral surgeon. The senior students in this branch work with the professors at the hospital, thereby gaining valuable training under the experts. The Loyola dentists are at the Charity Hospital every Monday and Wednesday from 8:30 to 10:30. On these days practically all of the dental work is done by Loyola dentists. A suggestion has been made by the Regent of the Dental School, Rev. Father Sullivan, S.J., that awaits further development. It contemplates serving the students of Loyola who wish to have dental work done. A fee will be charged but the sum will be small. For 25 or 50 cents the students may have teeth examined, scoured, filled, or should the case require it, the longer and more expert treatment will be given in Loyola clinic. The adoption of the suggestion of the Regent awaits action on BAND PROMINENT IN ACTIVITIES Exhibition at Theatre Wins Great Applause; Kammer Appointed Student Manager. Surpassing all its previous endeavors the Loyola University Band has, during the latter part of October, augmented tremendously the glory and success it has reaped from the very outset of its existence. The last half of October has indeed been replete with busy days for the band, their services being much in demand, both at the university and in other sections of the city. These engagements were all taken care of in the usual Loyola manner, that is, par excellence. Loyola's band was enthusiastically received everywhere, the praises after the concert were loud and numerous in every instance.  ing the past half month, the band performed in various locations and in each and every one of these places left a good impression behind them. Attired in their new uniforms, the band members, both individually as well as in a body, presented a very striking appearance; an appearance well worthy of the camera. All this success and state of perfection did not come in one day, for as we all know, it is only by practice that we become perfect. Any amount of success which the band has attained has been by dint of diligent practice and wholehear'ed attention. Under the able direction of Professor Chasnais the band has held almost daily rehearsal, gath**ir.g in all the musical knowledge possible from a very well of knowledge. If the band members acquire all the fine points of music as explained by Mr. Chesnais, they will have an unlimited store from which to draw. Loyola University Band is imbued with a great amount of spirit and pep and takes special care to let the world know that it is a Loyola organization, from Loyola and for Loyola. Hundreds of persons heard the band welcome Oglethorpe on the morning of Friday the 17th at the L. & N. station. Arrayed in immaculate uniforms, the band indeed was a most pleasing spectacle. The movie reel operator was on the job filming New Orleans' newest band in action, and almost a reel was consumed in filming this important event. The Strand Theatre showed the pictures that night. After the arrival of the Oglethorpe players, j the band escorted them to the Monteleone. There the band rendered some excellent selections, at the completion of which thunderous applause rewarded the players. Great enthusiasm marked the concert in the hotel, an enthusiasm that was general; enthusiasm on the part of the band itself, of j LOYOLA OBSERVES NAVY DAY Captain Halligan Addresses the Students. Complying with the wish of President Coolidge, Loyola kept Monday, October 27th as Navy Day. Captain Halligan. commanding the cruiser Detroit came to Loyola to address the students. At eleven o'clock the student body assembled in the auditorium. The ceremonies began with Cheer Leader Walters turning loose a salvo of yells for the Navy, the Detroit and the Captain. Following this uproarious salute, which pleased the Captain greatly, Rev. F. X. Tvvellmeyer, President of Loyola University, spoke to the audience on the purpose and achievements of the navy in peace and war. He was followed by Father Terence King, S.J., who set forth the service of the navy during the world war, putting special stress upon its successful transportation of five millions of American troops across the Atlantic. He next explained in a humorous way the meaning of the service ribbons which adorned the coat of the cruiser's captain. When the students heard that the French government had decorated Captain Halligan with the Legion of Honor, there was an explosion of cheers. Captain Halligan followed with a most interesting and instructive talk on the navy in general and the cruiser Detroit in particular. Several times during his talk he was stopped by cheering. There was deep silence in the hall when he told of the heroism of Ensign Drexler, one of the glories of the navy, who died while rescuing two of the gun crew after the explosion in the turret of the Trenton. Loyola University Band played for the baseball game at Heinemann Park between two nines of sailors in the afternoon. COLLEGE DEBATING CLUB REORGANIZED Officers Elected; Club Offers Opportunity to Students. The Debating Club reorganized for the year '24-'25 at the meeting held in the college auditorium, October 21, 1924. After Mr. Harold Dempsey was requested to act as temporary Chairman. nominations for vacant offices were made. Mr. G. P. Crane was unanimously elected President; Mr. H. Dempsey. Vice-President and Mr. F. Fanimer, Secretary. Mr. Novo and Mr. Moore ran for Treasurer, the latter winning the office. Father L. Dowling of the Faculty will act as adviser. A committee consisting of Mr. Crane and Mr. Karamer was appointed to consider a two-year debating contract with Louisiana College of Pineville. Messrs. Glas and Kammer were appointed to arrange programs of subjects for the meetings of the club. The members of the Debating Club are very keen about their work. They know the value of the training they MAROON TERMINATES FIRST YEAR OF EXISTENCE AS STUDENT NEWSPAPER Growth of the Paper Is Phenomenal; Editorials Advocate Organization. With this issue the Maroon completed the first year of its existence. The publication was born on Thursday, November 1, 1923. It was a sturdy infant carrying on its four pages a varied assortment of news about the student activities at the University, and in particular, a story of the football team. To say that the paper has had a phenomenal growth is to state a fact. A study of the Maroon in its present issue with that of a year ago, shows that the paper has not grown in pages only, but in substantial values. That it has grown in pages is easily seen. A year ago it was a four page issue; today it prints eight pages. The four page issue ran sixteen columns which were only half the size of the present Maroon columns. Today the paper has forty columns. This remarkable growth was not a sudden expansion, but a gradual development according to sound biological principles. It grew because Loyola University grew. As an organ of the larger body it developed as the body expanded. The greater Loyola made the greater Ma| roon. During the school year 1923-24, thirteen issues of the paper came off the press. In size the paper was 9x14 inches. Before the fifth issue was printed it was necessary because of the bulk of news to add two more pages. The six page issue was the first to have a full page for sports and another for notes from the different departments of the University. When the six page issue came from the press it was printed on pages It carried five columns to the page and the news and literary qualities were improved. The regular earmarks of the standard newspaper were seen. The first page contained articles of live interest with decked headlines. On the sports page were reproduced nine pictures of the Wolves with a story for each player. The first issue of the Maroon was produced by five students of the Arts and Sciences, College Department. As the paper grew the staff grew. At the close of the year there were 13 members to the staff in the various department of the paper. The present issue shows the names of 35 students who are responsible for the various features of the Maroon. Organization and efficiency are manifest in every department. The staff contains a representative from every class, from every department, from every club, from every organization and from every activity pertaining to the University. The growth of a year had made the Maroon extend its field. Today it carries as regular departments reports on the activities of the Marquette Ladies Auxiliary Loyola University and the Jesuit High School. It is only logical that these two organizations should be admitted into the scope of the Maroon since they contribute in very definite ways to the greater Lovola LOYOLA NIGHT IS BIG SUCCESS Band and Quartette Feature the Evening's Program. "Loyola Night" at the St. Charles Theatre was onther one of Loyola s achievements this year. Everything seems to be Loyola in New Orleans now, so not to be out of things, the Saenger Amusement Company instituted a special night for Loyola. With their kind assistance, but with the spirit and initiative of Loyola students, "Loyola Night" was one of the biggest features of the St. Charles theatre this year, or any year since their existence. The members of our team and of the Oglethorpe team were the special guests. The Oglethorpe squad occupied the boxes on the left, while our Wolves were disposed among those on the right. All of the players were forced to leave at the end of the first act because of the importance of the contest between the two elevens on the following day. The coaches of both teams deeming a full night's rest imperative for success to their teams. The play put on by the company, and really an excellent company of players, was "So This Is London." To say that the play was enjoyed by those attending would be to put it mildly. The performance was repeatedly interrupted by applause for the portrayals of the artists. But it was the added attractions that made the affair a real Loyola event. Cheering, the band, and vocal numbers by students lent an atmosphere to the occasion that made the night one that will long remain in the memories of those who attended. The Loyola band opened the night with several selections that were received by the audience with great favor. Repeated encores were called for until, not to hold up the play any longer. Director Chesnais was forced to deny the pleas of the listeners and march his charges off the stage. At the end of the first act, Ted Walters took the stage and led in some enthusiastic cheering for the members of both teams. It was a spirited bunch that followed his directions and noise. During the intermission between the walls of the theatre rung with the the second and third acts, the vocal selections were offered. With Mr. Chesnais officiating at the piano, Mr. Revner first tendered several pieces, after which Mr. Broussard took the sta/e and made his offerings to the god of music. Both of the gentlemen had very pleasing voices and they were received with favor. Mr. Broussard also gave an energetic exhibition of piano playing, choosing some of the latest hits with which to entertain. The Loyola Quartet closed the singing number with several numbers and part of another song. They resorted to (Continued oil Page 2.) (Continued on Page 7.) (Continued on Page 7.)
