IPC Heads Committee For Clubs The Inter - Collegiate Publicity Committee, under the leadership of ASLU Social Chairman Horace McNally, has inaugurated a new service by which it hopes to co¬ ordinate club activities in an aca¬ demic and cultural vien with sim¬ ilar activities in the local women’s colleges. According to the plan, activities that a club would spon¬ sor that would be of interest would also be opened to students from all the colleges. The activities are to be co-ordinated by means of a committee established within the IPC. The result should be greater attendance at academic and cul¬ tural functions and an increase in the benefits of the schools. Chairman of Loyola’s committee is Joint Kelly. Faculty to Go On Retreat Professor James E. Fox worthy, vice-president of the Faculty Club announced that the annual faculty retreat will be held on the weekend of January 28-29, at the Manressa Retfeat House in Azusa. This weekend is during the inter- semester period. Any faculty mem¬ ber, whether Catholic or non-Cath- olic wishing to attend or desiring further information should contact Dr. William F. Fitzgerald, of the Political Science Department, who is in charge of arrangements. 28-2 record, won the Missouri Val ley Conference Championship and finished third in the NCAA Tour¬ nament. However, they are miss¬ ing a 6-5 forward by the name of Oscar Robertson, who needs no in¬ troduction and their high-scoring guard Ralph Davis. Robertson, of course, Ted the nation in scoring for each of his tnree varsity years. However, new coach Ed Jucker figures his squad should haVe ex¬ cellent balance and rebounding as well as being one pf the fastest teams around. Chief reason tfor the Bearcat optimism is 6-9 center Paul Hogue. As a Soph last season he averaged 12.2 points a game, while snag¬ ging 339 rebounds. The other starters coming back are Carl Boul- din, 6-1 playmaker and 64 Bob Wiesenhann, who is noted primar¬ ily for his rugged rebounding. Two days later, December 15, the Lions play the best team they will face all season. Xavier’s Mus¬ keteers in the words of their coach James McCafferty, “are bet¬ ter than my NIT champs in 1958 The Musketeers are a shooting team and they averaged nearly 80 points a game last year. They have experience, depth, height, and speed besides their accurate fire¬ power. Statistics may be boring but here are the principal jpointmakers re¬ turning for Xavier; Jack Thobe — He’s the brother of Dick Thobe, Frosh star at Loyola. Last year this 6-8 center averaged 18 points a game as a Sophomore; Bill Kir- vin — He’s a 6-2, swift, hot-shooting guard. He also was a Sophomore last year and Mr. Kirvin dropped in 12.7 a game; Jim Enright- other Junior, Enright is a 5-11 guard whose seasonal average last year was \ 10.3. He, like Kirvin, gives the Musketeers good outside shooting. Last of the high point men is Jim Haffner, a versatile 6-3 Senior who plays either guard or forward. He scored a “mere” 9.9 a game last year. Both Cincinnati and Xavier will have the advantage of completely partisan crowds. Bill of Rights To Be Honored Father Joseph F. Sharpe, Su¬ perintendent of Catholic High Schools and Colleges in the arch¬ diocese, discussed plans which the Catholic Colleges will observe dur¬ ing Bill of Rights Week with Joe Mead, Student Body President Loy¬ ola University; Louis Hiller, Chair¬ man of Bill of Rights Week Ob¬ servance at Immaculate Heart Col¬ lege; Colleen Wilson, Bill of Rights Co-Chairman at Mt. St. Mary’s; and Irene Ninomiya, Student Boy Treasurer at Marymount College. MORE THAN 100,000 Southland university, college and junior col¬ lege students pledged their full support of the 1960 Bill of Rights Week observance, December 915, through their student body presi¬ dents and representatives at the Bill of Rights Committee meeting held recently at the Biltmore Hotel, Los Angeles. AGAIN THIS YEAR the com¬ mittee will award a $500 scholar¬ ship to the educational center car¬ rying out the most far reaching An- Bill of Rights Week Program.
