The Los Angeles Loyolan, Volume 39, Issue 5 - October 23, 1961

Witches Will Whirl Oct. 31 On Halloween eve Loyalans will trip the light fantastic to screeches and howls at the “Witch¬ es Whirl.” This annual affair, sponsored by Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, will be held Tuesday night, Oct. 31, in the main ballroom of the Deauville Club in Santa Monica. The gruesome capers will commence at approximately 9 and terminate at one o’ clock. In the intermittent four hours, surrounded by bizarre decorations appropriate to the season, Loyolans and their dates will dance their ghoulish steps to ^trains provided by the Del Keys, a seven- piece orchestra. This group is very popular at SC and UCLA fraternity parties and dances, and has enjoyed many night club engagements, including a recent tour at the Royal Palms. As an added attraction of the dance, the annual Fr. Reilly Scholarship will be awarded at ap¬ proximately 10:30. The Scholarship, sponsored again by Delta Sig’s, consists of a free semester’s tui¬ tion to the lucky winner. All students are eligible and tickets are now being sold in the bookstore, and Lair for 50 cents apiece or three for one dollar. , 'l “Dressy Sport” will be the mode of dress and three dollars the price of a bid. Tickets are now on sale and may be purchased at the bookstore or from any Delta Sig.

Campus Mag. Coming Soon Soon, the . .irst 1961 edition of Loyola’s campus literary magazine the El Playano, will make its ap pearance. As in the past, literary output of the publication will fall into three divisions: essays, short stories, and poetry. El Playano will contain the best efforts of both stu dents and faculty members. This year’s El Playano is being со by Ray White and Gary Lease. It is hoped that there will be more contributions in the poetry category, since there has been a noticeable dearth of quality writing ih this division in the past. Quality and Quantity Co-editor W^ite hopes to realize a sufficient quantity of quali writing that will enable more stu¬ dents to be represented and pro vide for an enthusiastic reception of El Playano among the student body as a whole. All contributions for the next issue of El Playano should be sul> mitted to Ray White or Gary Lease not later than Friday, March 2.

Library Gets Rare Volume “The Book of Durrow,” a reprint in facsimile of the manuscript of the Four Gospels was recently don¬ ated to the library by Mr. Edwkrd T.

Sam and Bella Spewack, the au* thors of the play, based their work on the French productions, “La Cuisine des Anges” by Albert Hus- son. Macabre Atmosphere A certain fairy-tale atmosphere surrounds this story. The Spewalts use their technique of Whimsy in¬ vention to augment the already macabre background of three con¬ victs in a French penal colony in South America. The Spewacks met and married when they were both reporters on the staff of the old New York World. Their first suc¬ cessful play,- “Clear All Wires,” a comedy about an American news¬ paperman in Moscow, was based on their journalistic experience in the Soviet Capital. “My Three Angels” appeals to the classic robinhood folk theme of pinching from the rich to help the poor.
