Black said that there woud be no change in the editorial policy of the publicatir"The publication chiefs believe that a weekly will be of much more benefit to the students and to the school than the old semi-monthly. They will be better able to report the news while it is fresh and the absence of stale or dead news will create new reader interest in the periodical. The page size will remain the same but the number of pages will be reduced to four. "Loyola is large enough to support a weekly college news organ," Black said. "While we cannot hope to compete with other great university weeklies still this new step will place Loyola's publication on a par with that of many colleges in the country." There will be no change in the personnel of either the editorial or the business staff, it was announced.THESPIANS ARE AGAIN ACTIVE AFTER HOLIDAYS Dramatic Group Will Present Passion Play In Auditorium At End Of Lenten Season The Thespians and Auxiliary Thespians, for the last two weeks, i have enjoyed a well-deserved rest after having worked hard and scored a tremendous success in "Laff that Off" which was presented just before the Christmas Holidays.

OF WYOMING CHARGES STUDES Twenty-four Hour Strike By Student Body Follows Accusation of Petting by Prexy Crane (By College News Service) Minneapolis, Jan. 7.—President A. G. Crane, of the University of Wyoming, must be somewhat inadequately informed concerning 'modern indulgences" of college students, the University of Min-1 nesota Daily opined editorially I last fortnight in commenting on 1 the recent strike at Wyoming. "Undoubtedly he (Dr. Crane) had the welfare of his charges at heart," declared the Daily, in con-1 nection with accusations that the: president spied on parked cars in order to secure evidence of alleged "necking" and "petting" at a stu-11 dent dance. '•The surprising wrinkle in the, whole affair is the belief, on the ; 1 art of the facultymen involved, that the activities of enamored couples can be changed by a professor's proclamation, coupled with the fear of students that they would be denied a favorite pasttime."A 24-hour strike early last I month followed Dr. Crane's announcement that he had witnessed misconduct on the part of his students. Football Given Clean Bill of Health by American Coaches (By College News Service) New York, Jan. 7.—Collegiate football—perhaps the subject of a more general and pronounced attack during the past season than ever before in its history—this ■ week has been given a clean bill of health by representatives who attended the annual meeting of the American Football Coaches' Association. But while chai'ges of overemphasis were denied in no uncer- ; tain terms and while, at the same time, the coaches refused to ac- , knowledge that they are masters of a dangerous sport, cognizance was taken of the some 45 deaths attributed to football during 1931. Widespread comment was occasioned by the annual report of Chairman Edward K. Hall, of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's rules committee. HCUl exonerated leading colleges of any responsibility for more than two of the deaths, and declared that so-called minor colleges could b; blame:! for only six. The rest, he said, occurred as the result of high school and "sandlot" games and were mainly due to improper supervision or lack of proper training. In order to clear the record,, however, the coaches' association authorized an investigation into the causes of each of the deaths. ' This survey will be undertaken by a special committee headed by Dr. Marvin A. Stevens, of Yale University, who also was elected president of the association. A report is to be made next winter. Meanwhile, the coaches refused to recommend any changes in present grid rules, despite considerable discussion of a proposal to eliminate the use of the "flyinjj wedge" on the kickoff. As for the charges of overemphasis. Coach Lou Little, of Columbia, chairman of another special committee, presented a mass of what he termed indisputable statistics, tending to prove that football receives no more special attention than other extracurricular activities in the average American college. BLUE KEY TO HAVE FIRST MEET SUNDAY The first meeting of Blue Key, National Honorary Student Activity fraternity will be held Sunday evening at 8:80 p. m. according to an announcement by Temple Black, president. Since this is the first business meeting of the national group since the installation of the local chapter a committee will be appointed to revise the constitution to fit the needs of the local chapter.

JUNIOR DENTIST IS MISSING FROM HOME FIVE DAYS Relatives Of Ferdinand Carreras Fear For Loyola Student's Safety; Say He Was Despondent As The Maroon goes to press Thursday night no word has been received concerning the whereabouts of Ferdinand Carreras, junior in the school of Dentistry, who has been missing since 1 a. m. last Sunday. Reports from relatives have it that young Carreras was despondant and worried over financial matters and grave fears are held for his safety. The missing student was working his way through school and was employed by the Pig Stands. A friend drove him as far as Camp and Canal streets Sunday night after work and at 1 a. m. Carreras left him ostensibly to take a street car the rest of the way home. He never reached there. The Carreras' family are originally from Honduras but have made their home in New Orleans for the last twelve years. Classmates of the missing boy expressed the opinion that he had returned to his native country in search of employment, without informing his family. This explanation is not entirely satisfactory to the parents. Young Carreras mother, Mrs. Ferdinand Carreras has enlisted the aid of the police department to assist in the search. SCHOOL OF LAW IS ADMITTED TO AM. BAR ASS'N Loyola Has Been Meeting Association's Requirements For Last Five Years and Is Just Admitted The School of Law of Loyola University has been granted admission into the American Bar Association as an accredited Class A. Law School, according to an announcement made Tuesday by the Rev. John D. Foulkes, S. J., regent of the school. Admission into this body foli lowed an inspection, some months ago, of the Law School by the Hon. ! Will Shafroth, advisor of Council J on Legal Education and Admissions to Bar, and practicing at: lCll ney of Denver, Colorado. A favorable report was submitted I to the committee by Mr. Shafroth, I and Loyola was officially admitted at the last convention held in the Drake Hotel in Chicago on Decembre 28. The American Bar Association i is a union of lawyers, established for the purpose of raising the standards of the profession, and to regulate ethical conduct of members of the legal profession. 1 It was established in 1878. Recently it has established a Council on Legal Education and formulated standards for law schools. The minimum requirements are three Einstein Beleives He s Never Too Old to Learn; Returns to School By James Cremhaw (Editor, College Newe Service) PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 7.— (Special to The Maroon)—A new student was registered at the California Institute of Technology this week. His name is Albert] Kinstein. He could hardly be called a i'reshman, since this is his second term at the Institute, but he admitted frankly that he is just a beginner—a star pupil, perhaps, in a primary class of students puzzling over the problems of creation.The special course for which he has enrolled could rightfully be titled, "Mathematical Philosophy." Also enrolled are three other pupils who also stand near the head of the class—Dr. William De Sitter, famous astronomer of the University of Leyden in Holland, who, too, arrived last week to register for the course; Dr. Edwin S. Hubble, equally famous astronomer of the Mt. Wilson Observatory, and Dr. Richard C. Tolman, Caltech physicist. Einstein, however, is not going to confine himself to any one classroom or laboratory. He plans to hear numerous lectures, including at least one by Dr. Robert A. Millikan, director of the Institute, and to divide his time between Dr. Hubble'? world's-largest, 100-inch telescope and studies on the Caltech campus. Here primarily to obtain new data so that he may fortify a possible unified theory of electricity and gravitation, Einstein will hold numerous discussions with Dr. Hubble and Dr. Tolman concerning information that has been gained by observation and experiment, as compared with mathematical reasoning. In this regard, the famous German scientist will undoubtedly give a large part of his attention to Dr. Hubbies' findings in connection with the "red shift" in the light spectrum from distant nebulae. As yet, all authorities are not agreed as to whether this shift actually indicates a rapidly expanding universe or whether the phenomenon is the result of some influence which affects the light while in transit through space. Dr. De Sitter is sure that the shift is real—that is, it shows the nebulae to be moving away at increasingly greater speeds, thus tending to prove his theory of a scattering universe. On the other hand, Dr. Tolman is not so sure. He accepts the "red shift" at its face value, but at the same time conceives the universe to be something like a great pulsing, throbbing organism, portions of which may be expanding while other portions are contracting.Einstein himself is constantly 1932 WOLF WENT TO PRESS DECEMBER 24th All Material With Exception Of Track and Boxing Section Has Been Sent To Printer The 1932 "Wolf," official annual of Loyola University, was sent to press on December 24, 1931, following the completion of the work by Edward J. Lucas, editor, and the members of the staff. Lucas announced that the printers and engravers have been sent all material with the exception of the track and boxing sections. Six hundred copies of the "Wolf" are to be issued and these will be rendered more interesting by the snapshot section which will embrace all phases of campus life and by the return of the humor section which was omitted in last year's annual. With the completion of the track and boxing sections the book will be completed. Distribution will be made in the latter ; part of May.
