              The Maroon VOL. IX LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1930 No. 6 Voice of Loyola Answers Westinghouse Salute GALAXY OF STARS FEATURE OF RADIO STATION'S PROGRAM WWL Shows Appreciation of Honor By Special Broadcast By Temple H. Black A flare of trumpets and the sound of the human voice floats through the ether. "New Orleans, America's Most Interesting City, goes on the air in response to the gracious tribute by Westinghouse Electric on last Tuesday, December 9." Thus spoke Wilson S. Callender, national advertisinr manager for the Association of Commerce, and guest announcer for New Orleans' return of the Westinghouse Salute. On Tuesday night, December '.*, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company honored New Orleans, Second Port U. S. A., with a salute. The speaker lauded the Crescent City and stressed the charms of old New Orleans. The world was told of the charm of the Vieux Carre, old Royal street, tiny houses with beautiful patios, the splendor of Canal street. All were vividly described in the course of the salute. The theme then changed. New Orleans was pictured as the Metropolis of the South. Her great docks and the vast amount of commerce that passes through the port daily  described in detail. Westinghouse plays a most important part in the destiny of this great city. DEBATING TEAM TRIALS TO BEGIN AFTER HOLIDAYS Series of Debates On Question Of "Free Trade," Scheduled Trials for the teams which are to represent Loyola University in the approaching intercollegiate debates will begin immediately after the holidays, it was announced by Fr. Hynes, dean of the arts and science department.These trials are necessitated, due to the recent loss of the debating society's direct*,, Fr. de Monsnberf:. Each participant in the trials will be assigned a complete debate and rebuttal against the other participants. A series of eliminations will decide the members of the team. Under this plan the debaters will be tested in rebuttal as well as in main speeches. The subject will be: "Resolved, That the nations should adopt a policy of Free Trade." A committee of the faculty will act as judges. All members of the Debating Society are urged to take part in these trials, as the position of debater on the Loyola team is one of high honor. CLEE CLUB WILL ADMIT NEW MEMBERS Regular Practices Will Be Resumed With Staunch Nucleus The Glee Club, under Rev. Fr. Francis' careful guidance, has been making slow but sure progress. Some few of those former members who found the work too difficult or for other reasons ceased to attend the meetings regularly, have been eleminated and a staunch nucleus of willing songsters compose the group which in the future will represent the University as its Glee Club. Although rather late in the year for such a procedure, the director has deemed it wise to allow a few more aspirants to try for membership provided they have the necessary ability, and willingness which is required of all Glee Club men. First Tenors pnd Basses will be given special consideration.As the Christmas holidays will put a brief pause to the regular Tuesday and Thursday meetings, the Glee Club will start the new year right by having its first meeting on Tuesday, January CD, 1981, at the Holy Name Girls School, on St. Charles Ave. and Calhoun St. at 8 p. m. New members must be there if they expect to take part in any of the activities which have been planned for the Club. Freshmen Reign Supreme For A Day, But Sophs Swear Vengeance Lowly Rats Make Most of Chance As Next Day Brings Retribution With caution characterizing their every move, sophomores at  University Tuesday quietly slipped through back doors, studiously avoided the grass ami stepped'put of the ; buildings wt/rfn they wanted to smoke. For Tuesday was the day when the freshman ruled supreme at the university. Tuesday was Freshman Day and the mighty sophs had to bow to the will and do the bidding]' of the lowly frosh. For four months the freshmen ] have been obeying the rules at the bidding of the sophomores, but the worm has turned and for a day the firstryear men reigned supreme. BXit occasionally a forgetful soph broke one of the rules and there was I always a watchful freshman ready to j take down his name, and at noon in ( the kangaroo court, the forgetful, : ones were declared guilty and were ' I either compelled to run the freshman gauntlet or to roll an egg for the amusement of the assembled freshies. The modes of punishment used by the freshmen were many and novel, as the sophs discovered to their sor- j row. Nor was the said weaker sex exempt from these punishments, j Many was the sophomore co-ed who ' spent her lunch hour attempting to remove the rouge and paint with which she had been smeared by the vengeful freehies. The freshies, however, suffered one great disappoint- : ment. It came when they decided that Clarence (Halfback) Smith should run the gauntlet. After carefully preparing their belts and licking their chops in a manner of speaking, the freihies, to their great disgust, saw nothing but a streak of dust when Loyola's speedster sped through their line. But he who laughs last laughs best, and the freshmen are now in the ! process of "getting their's" and will j continue to get it until December j 22, according to all reports from the sophomores. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! u • To our friends and readers—A Merry Christmas and and Happy New Year— ■D THE STAFF. COMMERCE CLASS HEARS LECTURE BY BY ORLEANS BANKER Continental Bank Executive Speaks on "Banker and The Community" One of the most interesting lectures of the year was delivered to the commerce students last Friday by James J. A. Fortier, president of the Continental Bank and Trust Company. "Thrift is the best remedy for a period of depression," said Mr. Fortier. "By beintf a thrifty nation France paid her war debts and is not at the present time under a period of depression. Life insurance is the best means of savinjr." Mr. Fortier advises the graduates of today to stay in New Orleans, for many opportunities will be offered by this city in the future. The city will prosper since it will always serve as an outlet for the products of the Mississippi Valley. Being a very close friend of the late Father deMonsabert, Mr. Fortier dedicated his lecture to this beloved professor. Father Hynes Returns From Convention Arts Dean Attends Educational Session Held At Atlanta Rev. J. W. Hynes, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences, returned recently from the annual meeting of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, held at Atlanta, Ga., from December 1 to 5. The salient feature of the convention, said Father Hynes, was the trend of thought manifested in the speech of Merle Prunty, president of the North Central Association of Colleges. Mr. Prunty stated that it seemed that the spirit of accrediting agencies today is marked by a tendency towards sympathy and help in dealing with educational institutions, and interested consideration of circumstances in different localities rather than a rigid enforcement of credit standards.
