LOYOLA CLUB
DANCE
It isn't very often that Father Ma¬
her says he wants something, but
when he does— look out. About six
weeks ago he said to a member of the
student body, “What do you think of
a dance in October? We need money
for the chemistry laboratory."
“Fine, greatest thing out," was the
answer.
“We will have the dance, but we
have to have 1,000 there."
Well, everyone knows the result.
Loyola is about to pull off the biggest
social jazz dance of the season.
Dances may come and dances may go,
but the memory of this one will live
forever. But the success of the affair
is not, as yet, a foregone conclusion.
Everyone from little Willy, in 1st
high A, up to the long, lanky guy in
Senior College, has to keep plugging
his darnedest to sell more tickets. If
you can’t sell any more, tell everybody
all about it, and tell them to tell
everybody. It’s up to the student-
body to show that we can get the
1,000 there, and WE CAN DO IT.
Tell ’em if they are old grouches
and DON’T want to have the greatest
time of their lives to stay as far from
the K. of C. Auditorium, on the night
of the twenty-second, as possible.
“Fid" Johnston and his wicked violin
will knock sparks of joy out of the
hardest heart.
The arrangements are in the hands
of the following gentlemen: Messrs.
Leo I. Aggeler, Louis Alker, John F.
Dockweiler, Oscar W. Hasencamp,
Bernard L. Herlihy, Vincent C. Hick¬
son, Bernard G. Hiss, Frank Keenan,
Chas. F. Klinkhammer, Ferdinand B.
Mieding, J. Francis Moroney and
Adam P. Steffes.
The following named ladies will act
as hostesses: MeSdames J. N. Alex¬
ander, Arnold Burkelman, Mary M.
Costello, George Cote, Chas. E. Crow¬
ley, Serena Orena de Koch, Isidore B.
Dockweiler, James" G* Donavan, Chas.
G. Forbush, Dennis P. Kearney, Henry
W. Keller, M. J. McGarry, Thos.
O’Neill, Chas. E. Wiswall.
So, let’s go, boys. On with the
dance, Take off your skid chains and
slip ’er in high.
But, for the luvva Pete, don’t forget :

REORGANIZATION OF R.
О.
T. C.
UNIT COMPLETED
The reorganization of our R.
О.
T. C.
Unit has been completed with a most
advantageous change in the policy of
the military department.
The battalion, composed of three
companies, has been arranged in a
new order according to size, and irre¬
spective of former company or class.
Embodying the competitive principle
each element is constantly engaged in
competition against the others. To
effect this a system of credits has
been devised by which each individual
is credited or discredited according
to his own standard, then at the end
of the month a class average is com¬
puted, and the company maintaining
the highest average is designated as
color company for the ensuing month.
The general opinion that without
the competitive spirit the desired re¬
sults cannot be obtained has been
seen by those who are responsible for
Loyola’s military institution. After
covering certain required elementary
matter by the use of the block sys¬
tem, the Unit is now prepared to
swing into a steady trend toward the
ultimate knowledge of military science
and tactics.
A splendid and practical course is
outlined for the two semesters in this
department. A general instruction in
the duties and qualities of the soldier,
military courtesy, and close order
drill, leading to the development of
personal initiative, complete treat¬
ment of the theoretical and practical
knowledge required of an officer in
the United States army, and the com¬
pletion of the student’s individual rec¬
ord for the year’s work. These rec¬
ords in time of need will be invaluable
assisthnbe to the present student in¬
tending to enter the military profes¬
sion, and the cadet at all times should
take care to have himself recorded as
clean, honorable and proficient.
Last Thursday, October 14th the
Military Department, received three
hundred and sixty Springfield rifles
from the Benecia Arsenal. These
rifles will replace the Enfield rifles
used last year, being the best model
now used in the R.
О.
T. C. They, are
1903 model, 30 caliber. The Faculty
Director states that the Department

JUNIOR DEBAT
ING SOCIETY
The Junior Debating Society held
its first meeting of the scholastic year
on Friday evening, October 8, Mr. F.
L. Sheerin, S. J., presiding. After
the Moderator had explained the pur¬
poses of the Society in a few intro¬
ductory remarks, the election of offi¬
cers for the fall semester took place,
with the following results: Vice-
President, Cornelius Mclnerney; Re¬
cording Secretary, Philip Girard;
Treasurer, Thos. Cooney; Correspond
ing Secretary, Henry Alker; Sergeant-
at-Arms, John Henyig; Censor, Cyril
Nigg.
The business of the evening was
brought to a close by the Moderator
assigning the question to be discussed
at the next meeting of the Society.
The proposition was: Resolved, that
the policies of the Sinn Feiners are
not conducive to the best interests of
the Irish people. The speakers were:
Affirmative, Messrs, Philip Girard and
Thos. Coony; Negative, Messrs. Leo
Bagnall and John Donahue.
At the second meeting of the Soci¬
ety, Friday, October 15th, the ques¬
tion proposed the previous evening
was debated. The decision was award¬
ed to the affirmative by a vote of 21
to 8. Each of the speakers of the
evening exhibited a clear understand¬
ing of his position on the question,
the speakers for the affirmative being
particularly forceful on the advan¬
tages to Ireland of remaining in union
with the British Empire. Messrs. Bag¬
nall and Donahue, negative, enlivened
the evening with some choice Irish
repartee. A lively open house discus¬
sion followed the debate.
D^ATH TAKES FRANK P. JENAL’S
SON
The Faculty and students wish to
extend their sincerest sympathy and
condolences to Mr. Frank P. Jenal in
the recent loss of his young son, who
died last Tuesday evening. The boy
had been ill for some time with pneu¬
monia but in spite of the untiring ef¬
forts of the doctors succumbed to the
disease.
Mr. Jenal lias won the admiration
of the entire school in his new role
as professor In the Law School, and
his loss is also a cause of grief to all
of us. • ■
IN APPRECIATION
Among the many friends of Loyola,
none have distinguished themselves
more in point of actual service to the
student body than Mr. Frank Schaffer.
Looking back, we recall how very gen¬
erously he came to the aid of the
students two years ago in a very simi¬
lar manner to the recent offering of
his De Luxe Theatre.
Loyola is under particular obliga¬
tion to Mr. Schaffer for these and
other past favors, not alone because
they were simply and graciously given
out of the goodness of his heart, but
because they came just at a time when
needed most.
To the boy interested in the enter¬
prise and true spirit of Loyola, the
realization of the value of the fund
thus realized, and our debt to Frank
Schaffer, will appear when he finds
that it has paid practically half of the
expenses so far incurred in student
athletics this year.
We are everlastingly grateful to Mr.
Schaffer, and to those in all classes
who so completely co-operated to make
the financial success that resulted.
BISHOP CANTWELL RETURNS
After a six months’ tour of Europe
our Reverend Bishop has returned
again to his fold. During his trip
Bishop Cantwell paid an official visit
to our Holy Father Pope Benedict XV.
While in France he toured the battle¬
fields of the world war, whence he
brings the tidings of a new' Belgium
and a rehabitated France, nations
happy and prosperous once again.
He also visited Ireland, the home
of his birth. But from there he brings
no news of joy and happiness but tid¬
ings of a far different nature. From
devastated and bleeding Erin he car¬
ries tales of murder and pillage which
has cast its gloom even over the home
of the Bishop’s mother.
The radiant suns of California still
have their rays of sunshine for Bishop
Cantwell, and his people sincerely
hope that no dark cloud will ever shut
off these rays from his heart.
The Faculty and students of Loyola
College join with the other Catholics
of Southern California in extending to
him a hearty welcome and in rejoic¬
ing in his safe return to Los Angeles.
Loyola anticipates an early visit of
Bishop Cantwell, and the students are
all, eager to extend to him their per¬
sonal greeting.
