Harrison Gold Medal, to be chosen in the preliminary trials of the Oratorical contest on Jan. 5, will vie in the finals on Jan. 11 for the title of official orator of the University. Mr. James J. Young, professor of English, under whose supervision the contest is held, has set the student lounge as the location of the trials. They will be conducted at 3:00p.m., with members of the Loyola faculty to act as judges. The finals will be held in the Alumni gymnasium on Jan. 11 before the Arts students and their guests. Eight Minute Limit • The speakers in both cases will be limited to eight minute talks. Among the subjects that Mr. Young has suggested as fitting are: "City Manager Type of Government in Chicago"; Young AmerIcans Recruited for the Spanish War''; and the national favorite "Indirect Taxation." Abst>nt was the subject of "A Minimum Wage," the topic on which William Rye, tht>n an Arts senior, carried through last year to the championship. Candidates, however, are welcome to select any popular topic. The finals, as last year, will be judged by an expert critic, who will be chosen from outside the school. The student assembly wfll also vote on their choices, although the r'.!sults of this vote will not determine the ,winner. Founded ln 1901 The contest was founded in 1901 by the Honorable Carter H. Harrison, later mayor of Chicago. World-famed speakers who have won the award include the Honorable Judge Justin F. McCarthy in 1901; the Reverend Daniel A.

Jesuit Deans to Meet at Loyola Dec. 29 and 30 The annual joint meeting of the deans of Jesuit colleges of the Missouri, New Orleans, and Chicago Provinces wUJ be held again this year at the Arts campus of Loyola university, Chicago. Sessions will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 29 and 30. The following topics have been suggested for discussion : Articulation between College and High School; Improvement of College Teaching; College R e 1 i g i o n Courses; Personnel Work in Colleges The Classics; Modern Language Requirements for the A. B.; the Jesuit College Newspaper Association. The Rev. William A. Finnegan, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Loyola university, will lead the discussion on the College Religion Course. The Rev. WU!iam H. Magee, S. J ., provincial of the Chicago province, has extended invitations to all the deans in these provinces. Songs, Carols Mr. Salvador Conducts Glee Club and Orchestra The annual Christmas concert of the Loyola Glee club, Choral society, and Orchestra was presented to an appreciative audience in the Loyola Community theatre last Thursday evening at 8:00 o'clock. Mr. Graciano Salvador, assistant professor of modern languages, directed the group. This year a slight change in procedure of the program was inaugurated. In past years the musical organization has made its Christmas concert an affair composed almost entirely of Christmas music and the traditional hymns. This season, however, only the first part of the concert was devoted to the usual carols. The remainder of the program consisted of numbers of a more popular trend. Solos Lend Variety After the singers assembled on the stage the lights were dimmed, and in the partial darkness "Silent Night" was sung in subdued tones. As the numbers gained rhythm, the lights were increased, until the power and force of Handel's "Halleluia" chorus brought on the climax. From this' point on the program assumed a more secular tone. Orchestra Supporting Supporting the singers was the Loyola orchestra which accompanied most of the songs. In addition, this group offered several operatic and classical selections which were well received. Among the soloists of the evening were Misses Bertha Floras and Ellen Basso, who sang "Stars in My Eyes,'' and Lucretia Wack, and Claytus Nelson, Walter Kawula, and Lawrence Lynch. Numbers given by the group were such songs as "To a Wild Rose," "The Bubble," "I Won't Kiss Katy," "Song of the Musketeers,'' and "College Medley." Lambert Team Maintains First Half Lead To Defeat Ramblers; "Wibs" Kautz Counts 14 for Sachsmen BY DAVE TOOJ\IIl\l A rough Purdue five bested Loyola's Ramblers last night in a free-scoring battle, 55 to 41, to break a home win streak that had extended to 15 games.

Graduates of the Law school with the class of last June, the new lawyers were successful in the September bar examination, and later in the character and fitness examination conducted by the Bar association. Loyolans Admitted The following are the newly admitted barristers from Loyola : Edward A. Cogley, Edward J . Cooney, George D. Crowley, Francis T. Delaney, James A. Dooley, Paul W. LaBine, John D. Lagorio, Maurice C. McCarthy, John F. McGuire, Robert J. Martineau, William H. Murphy, Robert J . Nolan and Miss Katherine Nohelty. Following the impressive ceremonies of admittance which were held in the Supreme court chamber, the young lawyers were welcomed to the ranks of the legal profession by Chief Justice Farthing. Entertained was marred by 27 personal fouls. After seeing their first half lead of 29 to 15 cut in half in a second half spurt by the Sachsmen that brought the score to 42-35 midway through the second period, the Boilermakers resorted to an alternate stalling and fast-break system that bewildered the home team and brought the score up to its final proportions. After Loyola had taken a 5 to 4 lead early in the first half on a free throw by Brennan and buckets by Kautz and Lynch, the Purdue fast break began to click with dazzling rapidity. Tom Dickinson, lanky guard, pushed through two follow shots, and Young hooked a basket from the side while Loyola countered with baskets by Kautz and Novak to bring the score to 10 to 9, the last time that Loyola was within striking range of the Hoosier five. Loyola Leads During the next three minutes the Purdue basket was kept bulging as Sines, Malaska, Young, and Anderson combined to notch eight baskets and a free throw, before Kautz broke the scoring drought for the home squad with a free throw. • • • • • THE LOYOLA CALENDAR Father Siedenburg Tells of Imaginary Liberties of Russians Justice Wilson of Chicago also added a special word of greeting to those from the Chicago district.

J ., former dean of the Loyola University School of Social Work and noted authority on social problems, spoke before the Loyola Service Guild last Wednesday evening. His subject was, "Russia of Today." Father Siedenburg left Loyola university In 1932 after serving as dean for 20 years, and became executive dean of the University of Detroit. Since then he has received the position of Commissioner of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, from which he resigned to become Director of the Regional Labor Board. Recently he was appointed by Governor Murphy as chairman to settle "sit-down" strikes. Freedom? He recently returned from a European tour and from making a study · of the social conditions In Soviet Russia. Speaking on "Impressions of Russia,'' Father Sie-denburg said, "Twenty years ago, Lenin and the Communists seized the government in Russia and they have ruled absolutely ever since. They promised a new heaven and a new earth, a dictatorship of the proletariat, a worker's paradise. "Stalin boasts of Soviet freedom. How free are the Russians ? Those of the Czars were far from free, but they could leave the country if they desired. The Russians of today are not free to leave, for the Soviet Union Is a gigantic prison. Mere Words "The new constitution guarantees liberty of speech, press, and assembly, but these are mere words and woe be he who attempts to put this liberty in practice. The government demands rent for the churches and children are denied religious instruction. No wonder religion is liquidated and God outlawed by the state. The standards (Continued on page 8, col. 2) Assistant Dean Talks on Safety Dr. James A. Fitzgerald, assistant dean of the University college, addressed the Automobile Shop group of the Chicago School System at the Y. M. C. A. Dec. 15 at 7 :30 p.m. upon the subject of "Safety Education." Dr. Fitzgerald analyzed the causes and results of accidents. He called attention to the value of the training of youth in the matter of safety, particularly in regard to handling the car. The speaker's suggestion for the training of youth is through the psychological and sociological approach. The young driver must know his responsibilities, rights, duties, and limitations. The Cudahy Debating forum will engage a team from John Marshall Law school in a morning radio debate over WJJD some time in February, announced Tom VanDerslice, Arts sophomore and presIdent, after a meeting of the Forum last Wednesday. Aloys P . Hodapp, instructor In economics and moderator, will announce the representatives for this debate immediately after the Christmas recess. The question to be debated is, Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board Shall Be Empowered to Enforce Arbitration in All Industrial Disputes. A team from St. Mary's college of Winona, Minnesota, will journey south to meet the Forum on Feb. 18, on the Arts campus. This argument also will be on the N. L. R. B. topic.

McCormick Drive Opens Placement Test Law Briefs Judge John V. McCormick, dean of the Law school prior to his elevation to the Municipal Court bench, and now professor of law, addressed an economic seminar at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday evening on the subject of housing in the United States. He dealt with the problem of slum elimination, point ing out the facts that costs of civic administration in slum districts is much higher than in other parts of the city, due to requirements of more police protection, fire supervision, and healthful living conditions. Buildings Inadequate Another major problem of housing in this country, explained Judge McCormick , is the matter of providing adequate dwellings for families of average income. This is partly the fault of the building industry, which, he believes, has never adjusted itself to the modern economic set-up. In many ways the industry has lagged behind in methods which would serve appreciably to reduce building costs. Addresses Kiwanis Club On Dec. 28 Judge McCormick will address the Kiwanis club of Evanston. The topic at that time will be the problems of the administration of the Women's court, in which he now presides. Yule Party Arranged for Arts Lounge The Arts faculty of Loyola university has arranged a Christmas party for the children of its members, to be held in the student lounge on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 23. The arrangement committee is headed by Dr. J. Joseph Mahoney, professor of mathematics. He is being assisted by Mr. Aloys P . Hodapp instructor in economics; Mr. Frank B. Cassaretto, instructor in chemistry; Mr. Bertram Steggart, registrar; and Mr. George M. Schmeing, chairman of the chemistry department. The student lounge will be appropriately decked out with a Christmas tree, electric train, and gay trimmings to furnish the children with proper setting. Toward the end of the party Mr. Arthur A. Calek, instructor of mathematics, acting in the role of Santa Claus, will bestow gifts upon each and every child. The activities will be concluded with refreshments served by the children's mothers. Oratory--- {Continued from page 1, col. 1) 1907; and the Honorable Lambert K. Hayes in 1914. The idea of the contest goes back to the Middle Ages, Mr. Young pointed out. Then it was the custom for university students to elect one of their number as the official orator of the school. Father Campion of Oxford, noted Jesuit, was one of the earlier orators so honored. All male undergraduate students of the University are eligible for the competition. This includes the downtown campi as well as the Arts campus. Last year, the first five speakers were from the north sile college. • The winning speaker will be chosen on his choice of subject, voice, diction, bodily expression, arrangement of material, oratorical style, and contact with the audience.

Warning--Don't Cut Any Classes; It Isn't Healthy BY THE OBSERVER Regulations of the system of cuts and double cuts have been posted on the student bulletin board since last September. Just in case some students do not know where this bulletin board is located, it seems that mimeographed copies of these rules were passed out to every student in the Arts college at an early assembly. In consideration of these facts it is advisable for any out-of-town student, who expects to be granted special permission to cut his classes on the days immediately before and following any holiday, to take out some good life insurance policies before entering the dean's office. No Exceptions Although no casualties have been reported as yet, the local dopesters are of the opinion that if this article does not appear in the News, some students will not be physically able to go home after their conference with the heads of this college. Just put yourself in the position of the deans. They would not have set up such regulations without a good purpose behind them. Nor would they have set up these regulations for the student body if they expected to dispense with them for anyone supposing himself to be a favorite. It is an age-old adage that: a dean cannot be a law-giver and a law-breaker at the same time. Double Cuts, Too In short, fellow-students, abstain from entering the office with such requests. It would be about the same thing as asking the deans to dispense with semester marks because these also prove rather inconvenient at times. By the way, there will be double cuts for all absences on days immediately preceding and following all holidays {such as the Christmas recess) . Change Cut System And for the benefit of new students, it could be mentioned that the cut system has been changed this year in favor of the student body. There are no cuts for the upperclassmen now, so on regular school days they don't have to write out excuses that their bus skidded into a lamp post every so often. In addition, the cuts for Mass absences have been reduced from 5 to 3, and cuts for assembly or class meeting absences have been reduced from 3 to 1. What do youse guys want? Lette1·s Sent to Fathe1·s Outline Elaborate Program The Loyola University Fa thers' club is conducting a drive for new member s. Letters were sent to the fathers of all Arts students, last week, urging them t o avail themselves of the opportunity of becoming better a cquainted with their sons' school by par ticipation in the a ctivities of the Fathers' club. Aim at Co-operation Students are urged to remind their fathers of the benefits t o be derived from membership in the organization. The aim of the club is to bring about better co-operation and understanding between fathers, sons, and school and to a cquaint parents with the educational program a t Loyola. Additional purposes of the Fathers' club are to bring about mingling on a social basis of the parents, faculty, and students and the enjoyment of social events cenducted by a very competent organization. Sponsor Several Events Next semester the Fathers' club will sponsor several events. Some of the affairs which are being considered are: a father and son banquet, a parents and son dinner dance, a reception for the basketball team at which trophies will be awarded, and a party in the gym sponsored jointly by the Fathers' and Mothers' clubs. The recently published results of the psychological test given by the American Council of Education to 20,000 incoming freshmen of 133 colleges last September gave Loyola freshmen a comparatively high score, a ccording to the Rev. E . J . Hogan, S. J ., assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The gross possible score of the test was 407; the highest score was 385; the highest Loyola score, that of Harold Fey, was 352. His score was among the fi rst thirteen in the test . Four Loyolans placed among the top hundred scorers. They wer e, in addition to F ey, William Cusick with 348, Gregory White with 329, and James Slattery with 305. Seventy-nine Loyola f reshmen had scores over the median score of the test. Baldwin Is Prexy Of Classir:al Club Louis C. Baldwin, Arts sophomore, has been appointed president of the Arts Classical society, according to an announcement by Mr. John M. Melchiors, assistant professor of classical languages and moderator of the Classical society. Assisting Mr. Baldwin in planning a course of future action and in the work of enlarging the organization are James Cutter, Arthur Fenner, John Felten, and John Lyons, all Arts sophomores. Membership in the organization is open to all interested. With the filing of briefs in the freshman and junior Brandeis competition the matter of the oral argunlents is all that now remains to decide the victors in the two competitions at the Law school. It had been planned to hold the arguments before the Christmas holidays, but due to circumstances, it has become necessary to post pone them until later, according to Chairman Francis H. Monek of the Brandeis Board. Early In January An effort will be made, however, to hold them as early in January as possible, in order that the students will have nothing to interfere with their studies prior to the semester examinations. The cases to be argued were picked by the board because of their correlation to classroom work, and for the most part, involve questions that arise either directly or incidentally from legal subjects now being s tudied by the participants. Additional Problems There are a lso problems in some of the arguments which concern matters of particular public interest and importance, as for example, one case deals with the validity of theat re bank nights, while in others constitutional questions which recently aroused nationwide inter est are the subjects. The sun is a weakling when compared to stars of its own type, research at Harvard observatory has disclosed. HELP!

It was agreed that a Sodallst would be chosen to head a committee of council members In the proposed drive. Forty-One Seniors To Get Class Rings According to John Vader, Arts senior and chairman of the committee In charge of senior class rings, forty-one seniors have signed up for the purchase of the rings, the largest number to get them In many years. Whether they will be obtained before Christmas Is left entirely up to the Individual. The design of the rings conforms to that set down by the Loyola union. A ruby stone Is flanked on one side by the degree, and on the other side by the year. Inside the ring are the initials of the student. Cameramen Get Room A dark room for Loyola camera addicts has finally been built In the laboratory rooms of the department of physical chemIstry, through the co-operation of Dr. Ardith P. Davis, associate professor of physical chemistry and moderator of the Camera club. William T. Wallace, Arts junior and camera enthusiast, will continue the activities of the Club started last year. The members will aid Dr. Davis In equipping the room with the necessary chemicals and apparatus. It is the aim of Wallace to have an enlarger and a printing box at the disposal of the members of the club In the near future. Members of the debating society last Thursday voted against participation in the Illinois State Normal Debate meet to be held Jan. 14 and 15 at Normal, Ill. The decision to waive the Nor-mal tournament came as the result of the society's plan to restrict tourney activities and undertake a more ambitious program of Individual debates. The club will take part in only two tournaments, one at St. Thomas college In St. Paul, Minn., and the other at Manchester college, Manchester Ind. Varsity on Air Two members of the varsity group will go on the air in a debate against St. Viator college Jan. 15 over station WCFL. George Fleming and Charles Strubbe, Arts seniors, will represent Loyola. The topic for debate has not as yet been chosen. The next regular meeting of the debating society will be Jan. 6, the first Thursday after the return from the Christmas vacations. The program for the debate will consist of a round-table discussion on the question of compulsory arbitration for all labor disputes through the medium of the National Labor Relations Board. Other Debates Leading the affirmative side of the discussion will be Edward Malcak, while the negative arguments will be presented by George Reuter. Both men are Arts seniors. Distribute 600 Lbs. of Clothing Over six hundred pounds of old clothing were distributed yesterday, three hundred pounds to the St. Francis Mission of South Dakota and another three hundred pounds to the Holy Family parish, according to Mr. Hugh Rodman, S. J ., instructor In English and faculty mission-drive chairman of the Sodality. The Rev. Arnold Garvey, S. J ., pastor of Holy Family parish, expressed his thanks to the Universjty, to the Sodality, and to Mr. Rodman for the splendid results. Sectional Groups Acting in an advisory capacity on the board are George Fleming, Arts senior and president of Cisca, and Paul Gallagher, Arts sophomore and head of the Cisca Speakers Bureau. In addition to exercising a Catholic censorship over publications of a generally respectable nature, the Press VIgilance campaign has organized high schools into nine sectional groups to co-operate with the Central College Board In a general campaign of non-patronlzation of all stores and newsstands that persist In purveying literature of a definitely obscene nature. Through official condemnation of all questionable literature and refusal to patronize those who persist In retailing it, as well as positive commendation of articles of real worth, the Cisca Press Vigilance campaign hopes to accomplish in the field of the secular press what the Legion of Decency did in cleaning up the motion picture industry. Returns on Arts· Missals Are Made The Rev. William A. Finnegan, S. J ., dean of the Arts college and moderator of the sodality, recently announced that the Arts students have been somewhat slow In makIng returns on the Mass Missals which were recently distributed to them. "The students seem to be enthusiastic about using their Missals," Father Finnegan said, "but their enthusiasm does not seem to extend to the point of prompt payment for the Missals." The Missals were sold to the students for $1.00 although the school was forced to pay $1.15 for them. The difference between the actual price of the Missal and the price paid by the students, which amounts to $63.75, will be made up by a social which will be sponsored by the sodality. This social will be given sometime after the New Year. In the meantime, the weekly instruction on the Missal will be continued and ten cents a week will Arts Conduct Class Meetings Each class of the Arts campus held a meeting last Tuesday morning under the gavels of their respective presidents. The sophomore, junior, and freshman classes were addressed by various student representatives on the following subjects: The New Legion of Decency Campaign for Contemporary Literature, the student skating rink, the popula r concert of the Loyola Choristers, and the matter of getting behind the basketball team at all the games this year. Joe Cantaflo, sophomore president, reported that the class jackets will be ready Thursday for the students who ordered them. Bob Hofherr, junior president, was appointed chairman of the junior class prom committee. Pierson Thai and his orchestra have been engaged for the affair which is to be held on the night of Feb. 14. Remodel Offices On Arts Campus The lakeshore campus offices of the Rev. Paul Breen, S. J ., treasurer of the University, and of Mr. Henry T. Chamberlain, dean of the Commerce school, are being remodeled and enlarged. These offlees which are located on the ground floor of the administration building have been extended to include the old office of the Loyolan. A glass partition has been Installed to set off as an outer office the office of Mrs. Helen Lovett, director of the N. Y. A. and secretary to Father Breen. The entrance to Father Breen's and Mr. Chamberlain's offices will be made through this outer office. At the beginning of this semester the Loyolan office was transferred to the gymnasium. Their old quarters had more recently served as a barbershop for the community. The editor of the Florida Alligator at the University of Florida got a letter from a University of Mississippi student asking where In heck his baby alligators were. Why hadn't they been sent? It developed that one of the U. of F. cheerleaders had promised to bring the student a baby 'gator when he accompanied the grid team to the U. of Mississippi. . The 'gator infants were sent. President Charles Seymour of Yale university warned American universities recently not to make liberal colleges merely schools of contemporary social science. Sign Thai for Junior Prom Negotiate for Site of Third Annual Dance February 11 The smooth music of Pierson Thai, dance master from the 1937 Fall Frolic, has been signed to produce the musical a ccompaniment at the third annual Junior Prom, Friday, F eb. 11. Thai's band has played at hote ls, ballrooms, and country clubs in lhe vicinity of Chicago for the past five years and is being hailed as a second Duchin group. The orchestra features Thai himself, an a ccomplished pianist, who 1s supported by harmonious string and brass sections. Negotiate for Site The site for the dance has not yet been chosen, but negotiations are under way for either the Medinah Athletic club or the Lake Shore Athletic club. The Junior Prom, though comparatively young, is something of a tradition at Loyola, the past two, at the Chicago Yacht club and at the Shawnee Country club, respectively, still being cherished in the minds of upperclassmen. Formal Dress As usual, a prom king will be elected from the junior class shortly after the Christmas holidays. Bids, according to Robert Hotherr, president of the Arts junior class, will sell at about $2.50 and dress will be formal. Law Frat Pledges Delta Theta Phi, legal fraternity held a meeting at the La Salle ho-: tel Friday night, Dec. 17, at which several candidates were pledged. Robert Conners, dean of the McKenna senate, presided. He made a short talk in which he explained the purposes of the fraternity to the pledges and other guests. A social gathering followed the regular meeting, at which refreshments were served.

Vol. XIV December 21, 1937 No.12 • Music APPreciation Course Would Fill a Need For years mention of the annual concert of Loyola's combined music groups has been the signal for studied inattention on the part of Loyola students. They just weren't interested. No one reason could be assigned for the lack of student co-operation in making the concerts successes. The mass of the student body stayed away in droves because the program didn't resemble m,ore closely a hit parade of the latest song hits, while on the other hand at least one prospective patron was absent because Bach wasn't featured. Last week the music groups presented a Christmas concert of classical and semi-classical works freely interspersed with popular songs. The program was one deliberately calculated not to frighten off the haters of the classics, nor yet to preclude the attendance of those who love good music. BY JAMES SUPPLE In practically every respect the Jed Harris production of A DoU's House is the most important and the most artistic production of the current season up to and including this day of grace. It is artistic because of its excellent presentation and it is important because it proves that Hendrik Ibsen is still a vital force in the world of the theatre. Everyone of importance, save Bernard Shaw who is no longer very important, has said that Hendrick Ibsen was now as dead as are William Godfrey and Clyde Fitch and like them important only because of his infiuence on subsequent playwriting. Even after the Nazimova production of Ghosts, which is, incidentally, one of the few magnificent productions of the contemporary theatre, Clifton Fadiman, the Mr. Fadiman who is ordinarily so accurate and so balanced, made the statement that the world had outgrown Ibsen. When A Doll's House gets to New York, however, Mr. Fadiman as well as many other Gotham authorities, will be forced to change attitude. Mr. Ibsen is again very much alive even if he had to rely partly on both Mr. Harris and Mr. Wilder for the resurrection. Best Translation There is no denying that Thornton Wilder has turned out one of the best translations of the past few years and the best English translation Hendrik Ibsen has had to date. Mr. Wilder has caught the spirit of Ibsen but he has produced dialogue divested of all the terrifying archaism which mars the William Archer translations. Mr. Wilder has permitted the Ibsen dialogue to remain dated but he has kept it from being outmoded and in doing this he has performed a noble service because A Doll's House now has a vitality and a reality which it has not had for the last twenty years. Mr. Ibsen's play is not modern but it is still real and plausible. Despite the pseudo-emancipation of the superior sex A DoU.'s Ho!t8e today seems artistically and socially faithful to life. This is indicative of both the intrinsic value of Ibsen and the ingenuity of Mr. Wilder. Ruth Gordon is as good a Nora as we can hope to see in our day. She has a few flaws, the most glaring of which are a monotony in vocal inflection and an occasional stagey gesture, but she has captured with startling completeness the spirit, the mood and the mind of Nora. She has given the character a certain independence of Victorianism and in so doing she has given it a reality which convinces us that Nora could be faced with the same basic problem today as that which was hers in the day when Ibsen created her. This accomplishment proves Miss Gordon to be an actress both emotionally and intellectually sound. King Notable Dennis King's success as Thorwald Helmer is not exactly a surprise but this role is the most serious he has yet attempted and his success is distinctly notable. Mr. King was at his best in the last act although both he and Miss Gordon unwisely chose to underplay a scene that should be played as fully as artistic principles will allow. In underplaying the famous discussion both Miss Gordon and Mr. King accentuated the talky phase of the scene rather than the dramatic. Mme. Nazimova, apparently, is the only actor of the day who realizes that Ibsen is to be played fully with neither Victorian extravagance nor contemporary restraint but with a blend of the best features of both of these histrionic styles. Paul Lukas' Doctor Rank is a good one although Mr. Lukas did not deserve the reception he received and has yet to prove himself a reaJly excellent actor. Sam Jaffe is Krogstad and undoubtedly effective but it does seem as if Mr. Jaffe will never forget his success in Grand Hotel. He still is Kringelein and probably he always will be. This, of course, is a major calamity for Mr. Jaffe has tremendous potentialities. The Harris production of A Doll's House judged from even the most exacting standards is a success, a production worthy of attendance and undivided attention. To all concerned with its production should be given congratulations. The Harris production is entitled to the longevity it will undoubtedly have. The concert played to an appreciative, but extremely sparse audience. Those who stayed away no longer had the excuse that the program was "too classical," or even "too popular." Their only reason was their lack of interest in the things that constitute real culture. How remedy this apparent awe of the fine art of music? Perhaps one solution would be the one suggested by an Arts sophomore in a student comment last week. A music appreciation course on the Arts campus would fill the most noticeable gap in the University curriculum, and make Loyola's graduates "cultured" in every sense of the word. Wisdom CfhelJ Foster.- As an essential part of their education, Loyola's students might occasionally spend their time in the periodical section of the Elizabeth M. Cudahy library. There is really an excellent collection of modern Catholic magazines, which makes the task of keeping up with contemporary Catholic thought a pleasant one. We might just quote a few. The Catholic Mind, a fortnightly published by the America Press, has in its last issue-December 8, This editorial is nothing but a direct plea - a reprint of a sermon on "Marby the News on behalf of the Mission and tin de Porres, Patron of Social and Sodality organizations of each of your Interracial Justice" which puts h I clearly before the reader the dif- • A Personal Plea---HelP SuPPOrt the Mission Drive sc 00 S. ference between three attitudes- At Christmas time we like to lose the the Pagan, the Pharisee, and the thought of squalor and poverty by being so Catholic.

At least, the perusal of such writings will give the American Catholic student a wider outlook and a deeper insight, and that won't harm the average Loyolan. • . • We sincerely hope the Sodality's campaign for clothes and money for the poor, which is concluded today, is a success. For Catholics, there is no obligation so clear as that to put the charity of Christ into the modern world, and no way to do it so plain and so necessary as the help of Christ's poor. The need is all too evident. An experience, however slight, of the poverty which still exists, dire, squalid, shameful, will convince anyone of the truth and the urgency of the demand. We hope, too, that the spirit of charity does not cease with the Christmas season. The need doesn't. Quatf copiously ot fa<HJtiou.mHa. Let mirth be unconftned.

After asking his old stars to Coach Sachs pardon him if he overlooked them due to such short notice, Sachs named on his first team Jim Bremner and Tony Lawless at forwards, all-American Charlie (Feed) Murphy at center, and all-American Marv Colen and "Wibs" Kautz at guards. Bremner, now a practicing doctor, was a star on the old Loyola quintets back around 1927. Tony Lawless and Charlie l\'lurphy were standouts on the famed Ramblers of '29 and •so that established a world's record of 34 consecutive victories, a mark that stood until last year when Long Island U. chalked up 48 straight wins. The guards are of Sachs' latest powerhouse teams. "Wibs" Kautz, even now only a junior, Is admitted by all who have seen him on the court to be one of the finest players ever developed by the old master. And Marv Colen closed his collegiate career last season by winning all-American recognition, as well as being chosen on practically every all-opponent team which foes of the Ramblers listed. For his second five the Loyola mentor chose Joe Wagner, a stalwart of the 1931 team, and Jim Hogan, captain of the '33-'34 quintet and brother of our own George, at forward berths. Big Mike Novak, six foot nine inch pivot man of the current edition of the Sachsmen, Is at the center spot, and Dick Butzen and Don Kavanaugh are In the guard slots. Butzen was another of that gang of 1929 and 1930, while Kavanaugh led the Ramblers in '32 and '33. A mighty team, all, and what a squad if they could all be gathered together In l\'laroon and Gold uniforms again! As a matter of fact, all but one of the men listed are Chicagoans, and Kavanaugh, the lone exception, lives In a suburb, Gary, Ind.

California, Carnegie, and Utah to Appear in Alumni Gym BY JOHN HUGHES "Jumping from the frying pan into the fire." The phrase is an old bromide but it still exemplifies the situation that the Loyola basketball team is placed in during the Christmas holiday games. The University of California invades the home court on the 27th with a veteran cage team which ' has established an enviable record I on the west coast. At the center post, Chet Carlisle, 6'3" in height, / will endeavor to hold down "Mammoth Mike" Novak in scoring. Carlisle, president of the student union of the California school, is especially effective on tip-in shots. Bob Chalmers and Ed Dougery, the former a senior and the latter a junior, will perform in the startIng lineup as forwards, while Lewis Goldenson, a senior and Bill Garetson, a junior, run the club from the guard positions. The Golden Bears are noted for their fast breaking offense which has netted them lopsided victories in the past. They play a twenty-seven game schedule this year.

BY DAVE TOOI\111\l Several of the citizens are sitting around the lounge one day when in walks four sterling athletes, and what should they have In their hands but cards, and what should they do but sit down at a convenient table and start shuffling same. Now this Is astounding to say the least for the dean has given strict orders that no gambling is allowed during school hours, and the boys look like law abiding citizens. It soon appears, however, that the boys are about to play a new game called bridge, and are not playing for potatoes but for a prize generously donated by the Spoeri-Burns ~yndicate which promotes many sporting events around and about. And aside from their original entry fee the boys have put forth no talk on table. The game is therefore strictly on the legit. Cueball Deals The four players, Cueball Benedict and Bob Hofherr competing against One Trump Cullen and Shifty Jake Steinmiller, pay no attention to the comment aroused by their actions, and pay strict attention indeed to the pasteboards as Cueball is dealing, and the latter is by no means a novice ltt shuffling the ducats. In fact he has had quite some experience. It soon appears that One Trump and Shifty are by far the classier players but for some strange reason receive only twos and threes, while the other athletes receive quite a few aces, kings, and Cue-ball is suspected of keeping harem at times. What a Team! a Delta Sigmas Move Into First Place in After some hours the team of Dental Basket Loop Cueball and Bob are within one hundred points of the limit of 5,000 po~ts set forth by the promoters, wh1ch, as one of the spectators who has seen the game played before, declares, is as close as a fat man's suspenders, and the other team Is Indeed in danger of being dropped from further competition. At this point, Cullen deals himself a hand which is quite some shucks as such things go, and after much quibbling gets around to declaring that he intends to make seven spades, which the other combine promptly doubles, and One Trump, having confidence in his own ability, redoubles. Shllty Kibitzes One play leads to another and with the advice of Shifty ' who shows his experience py walking around looking at the other team's cards in order better to advise his cohort, One Trump has taken ten tricks and needs but three more to prove he knows his spades. _However, he makes the grave m1stake, as Steinmiller later points out with gestures, of leading a deuce of hearts while Cueball has craftily held out the three spot for just such an eventuality, and he immediately takes the trick, ending the game in favor of his team. The many citizens who have been offering odds back and forth as to whether One Trump can do what he sets out to do heave sighs of regret and relief, and many are forced to borrow carfare from Cueball. The Delta Sigma Delta basketball team moved out into undisputed leadership in the Dent I-M basketball league last week as they beat the Psi Omegas 25 to 17, while the Joe Dandies were downIng the Pre-Dents in an overtime tilt. Other games saw the Zips beat the Burs, and the Alpha Omegas trip the Carpals. Cas Hajduk sank a long shot in the last thirty seconds to give the Zips their 26-24 victory. Joe De Manco tallied ten points to lead the winners, while Jack Block and Frank Jerbi starred for the losers. Cassidy Hits Eleven The Delta Sigs had little difficulty in downing the Omegas as they ran up a 15 to 4 lead at half time and coasted to a 25-17 victory. John Cassidy of the losing Omegas tallied 11 points to lead the scorers. Red Brzdenkiewicz, flashy Joe Dandle forward, bulged the twine four times in the overtime period to give his outfit a 32 to 24 victory over the previously undefeated Pre-Dents in a game which had ended in a 24 to 24 tie at the end of the regular time. The winners overcame a 13 to 10 handicap at half time to knot the contest. Captain Bob Bantz of the Pre-Dents tallied four field goals and two penalty throws to keep his team in the battle. Tony Passanelli and Tom Mcintyre were titans on defense for the victors. 16 Points in 3 Minutes Puts Game on Ice For Purdue (Continued from page 1, col. 5) Brennan, Hogan, and Lynch tossed in long shots, while Anderson and Malaska countered with hooks just before the end of the half to, give Purdue Its 29 to 15 halftime lead. Ramblers Find Range The Ramblers came out of the dressing room a vastly improved squad at the start of the second half. Two baskets by Novak, baskets by Lynch and O'Brien, and a free throw by Kautz, while the Boilermakers retaliated with long shots by Young and Anderson brought the tally to 33 to 23 after three minutes of play in the period. Kautz and Novak kept the Ramblers in the game during the next few minutes, as the Boilermaker guard, Malaska, and Sines, forward, alternated in dropping through ten points. With the score at 42 to 35, Purdue resorted to a stalling game that saw Young stand in the front court corner for half a minute with the ball without moving. When he finally drew the Ramblers out to meet him Young flipped the ball to Malaska who dropped It through. The Boilermakers kept up this procedure throughout the last ten minutes to Win going away.

They garnered a total of sixty-five points which was one point more than twice the sum awarded to the Pi Alphs who took second with thirty-two. The West Siders and the Alpha Delts shared third place honors with twelve points apiece. The Zephyrs, Phi Mus and Campion finished in that order. McKeever and Dougherty of the Meteors outclassed the field and between them won every event except the fifty yard back stroke which was taken by "Bus" Moor~ of the Zephyrs. The Meteorites also walked off with the first four places in diving and the first two places in the four man relay. The total number of entries in the event reached thirty. As a result the Meteors are twenty-five points higher in the I-M standings while the Pi Alphs got 19 points. ' ' PAGE 6 THE LOYOLA NEWS, DECEMBER 21, 1937 Dolan-Rocks, Meteors Win Cage Games DeMilliano, Schivone Pace Teams in Last Half Rallies Intramural basketball enjoyed a fairly successful week of play which resulted in two out of the four scheduled games taking place. The two postponed games were the Alpha Delt-Ranger tilt and the Phi Mu-Zephyr fray. Of the two games played, the Dolan-Rock-Pi Alph struggle, resulting in a close victory for the Dolan-Rocks, was by far the most interesting. Dolan-Rocks Strike First The game featured a fast break employed by the two strong quints. Both teams showed ability to take advantage of the new rule, elimination of the center jump after a score, which turned the game into a track meet up and down the floor. The Dolan-Rocks by first grasping the significance of the change in ruling, dominated the first half of play. Baskets by DeMilliano, Hartlein, and Spoerl brought the score up to 13 to 6 at half time in favor of the Dolan-Rocks. At this point the brothers of Pi Alpha Lambda went into a huddle and came out with an improved second half onset. This attack bewildered the Dolan-Rocks to such extent that the fraternity forged into the lead by a close margin beFlaming Ute Forward fore the Dolan-Rocks had a chance !!::===~===:::!!!!! to call time. Sensing defeat if they didn't snap out of it, the non-fraternity group began to bear down. Tight Finish Baskets by Spoerl, Tileston, and Toomim put the Dolan-Rocks into the lead again which they held until the final score ending the game in favor of the Spoer-men by a 29-23 score. DeMilliano led the scoring for the victors with four buckets and two free throws, while Malcak and Marotta accounted for the majority of the Pi Alph points. This victory establishes the DolanRocks as a serious threat to the championship and elevates them into a tie for first place with the league-leading Alpha Delts. The other game played was that of the Meteors and Campion who battled for the honor of the freshman league lead. After a rough, sloppy game the Meteors emerged victorious by a score of 11 to 9. Schivone was the leading Meteor scorer, while Clark with his two baskets led the Campion point getters.

Trophy Jerry Heffernan's reward as a diligent and successful boxing coach came to Loyola in the form of a huge three-foot trophy representing the north-side team championship in the recent CYO tourney. The trophy is set on a white stone base which supports a wide pillar, at the top of which stands the gold figure of a boxer. Near the base a gold-plated plaque bears the name of the north section champions. Below the plaque is the figure of an eagle which extends out from the base. Heffernan is really to be congratulated for the fine showing his men made in the boxing classic. At the start of the school year many students reported to the boxing room for instruction in the manly art of self defense. From this group Jerry selected a team of seven men to take part in the tournament soon to be held. Boxers Win With this team of inexperienced boxers the mentor worked faithfully in an effort to put his men in the best possible shape for the coming battles. By the end of the brief training period all seven men showed the results of the coach's instructions, and at the opening of the tourney were pronounced in wonderful shape by observant CYO officials. The tourney started and at the conclusion of the first night of fighting, six of the team survived the gruelling first round. On the second night three more of Heffernan's men fell by the wayside leaving but three of the team to carry on for Loyola. These men were Bill Hawekotte, Jim Rynne, and George Getschow. Hawekotte and Rynne lost their bouts winding up as north section runner-ups. Getschow at this point advanced another notch to the semifinals where he was eliminated after a close battle. The showing the Loyola men made was very impressive and each man deserves abundance
