In keeping with Loyola's phenome¬
nal progress both in the scholastic
and athletic worlds, it was decided
to launch a new precedent this year
socially. Accordingly the first big
annual homecoming dance will be
held this year on November 6, after
the big Arizona game.
The immediate enthusiasm with
which the plan was greeted was in¬
deed gratifying, so much so that the
committee felt ample justification in
engaging one of the premier ball¬
rooms of Los Angeles, the Elks' hall.
This newly completed building re¬
cently held “open house," and was
acclaimed by all as being one of the
foremost ballrooms in the United

States. Not satisfied merely with
■“the place," the committee decided
to engage one of Los Angeles’ most
popular orchestras, that of Chet
Mittendorf, and his KNX merry¬
makers. “Chet" has already passed
the word of the dance out to his
enormous radio audience, so it be¬
hooves all Loyolans to “get in line"
for their tickets.
“Chet" warns us against wearing
rubber-heeled shoes as he says they
will be unequal to the temperature
of his “red hot" band.
The Loyola and Arizona football
squads will be guests of honor. All
the members of the team received
their complimentary tickets at the
assembly Monday, October 25. The
enthusiasm with which each member
of the squad was received as he
advanced to receive his ticket was
indeed a wonderful testimony of the
Associated Students' great pride for
Loyola's greatest squad in her foot¬
ball history. This same brand of
enthusiasm will be shown in a more
material way on the night of No¬
vember 6 when Loyola will have her
first opportunity to honor the
“Lions" and a visiting team at her
first homecoming dance.
The decorations will be something
new and noveil, the services of an
experienced decorator having been
obtained. The “Purple and Gold" of
Loyola will be the predominating
color scheme. You won't have a
chance to forget that it's a Loyolla
night.
Reverend Father Egan, dean of the
College and Law School; Chief
Coach “Bill" Hess and Line Coach
“Charley" Toney will be guests of
honor.
Several entertainers are scheduled
to appear to add to the night's
pleasure. To Mr. Callahan and his

EVERYBODY’S COMING!
A new fraternity has made its ap¬
pearance upon the campus, and will
henceforth be known as 4 the Sigma
Phi Zeta. Most of the charter mem¬
bers conceived the idea last year,
but it was only two weeks ago
that Fr. Sullivan, in behalf of the
faculty, gave permission to operate
at Loyola. In granting the right to
form as a Loyola organization Fr.
Sullivan dwelt on the necessity of
SERVICE to the college; and
warned the members that unless the
Sigma Phi, or any other such so¬
ciety, held the interests of Loyola
before their own, their charter
would be immediately revoked. So
it is with this idea that the Sigma
Phi Zeta has been brought into be¬
ing: First, to promote, in any way
possible, the progress of the col¬
lege; secondly, to cultivate the wel-
ware, socially and otherwise, of the
members. The charter members
are Jim Sullivan, Vince Blumberg
and Fred Kelly from the Law De¬
partment; Bus Brownyard, Bud
Brumbough, Vic Montgomery, Jo¬
seph Du Ross, Tom Dunnigan and
Carol O’Meara from the Day School.
The boys have ordered their pins
and are already planning several so¬
cial events to be given in the near
future. They are also thinking of
pledging several new members.
Eye Witness Tells
Story of S' C. Fire
By George L.4 Andre, ’27
Editor “Santa Clara"
At 7 o’clock Monday morning,
October 25, a fire, which originated
in the Old Mission Church on the
University of Santa Clara campus,
started and by 11 o'clock, when it
was finally brought under control,
had completely destroyed the Mis¬
sion Church, the Students’ Chapel,
the buildings which had formerly
housed the Conservatory of Music,
the Law Library and had partially
wrecked the students’ dining room
and the quarters above, occupied by
the members of the resident faculty.
Estimates place the damage at over
$200,000.
Father Joseph A. Vaughan, for¬
merly of Loyola College, who dis¬
covered the fire, believes that the
cause of the bliaze was defective wir¬
ing. He and Father Sasia were say¬
ing Mass in the church when the
fire started. Father Sasia was the
last one to finish Mass in the old
church before its destruction. He
was also the last one to say Mass
in old St. Ignatius in San Francisco
before it was destroyed by the earth¬
quake in 1906. Father William Gia-
nera, vice-president of the univer¬
sity, who finished his Mass before
the fire became visible, turned in
the alarm.

Special Entertainment
Planned for Alumni
On Friday, Novemebr 5, Loyola
launches her first great annual cele¬
bration for the returning Alumni.
Being young, in the past our efforts
to entertain the “Old Grads" have
been weak because of the small num¬
ber of them; but the lid is off from
now on, and so we have every rea¬
son to expect a hilarious and alto¬
gether enjoyable week-end.
To begin the festivities will be the
monster rally and bonfire. The En¬
gineers have promised a fire that
will be a world-beater and the pro¬
gram in the gym will be equally as
good. There will be a Pajamarino,
songs, yells, and fun galore. On
Saturday of course is the game with
Arizona State, and Jim Tunney and
his band of Lions can be counted

FEIST
On Sunday night, the, 17th of Oc¬
tober, the anniversary banquet of
the Alpha Lambda Fraternity was
held. It was a memorable event,
and the group that filled the beauti¬
ful banquet room at the new Elks’
Club was one that any college could
well afford to be proud of.
Pierre Carroll acted as chairman,
and made a wonderful toastmaster.
After explaining the object and aims
of the order, he presented fraternity
pins to Father Sullivan, president of
the college, and Mr. , Frank Jenal,
who were thus intiated as honorary
members of the Alpha Lambda Fra¬
ternity. These two men are the only
ones !on whom this tribute has ever
been conferred, and so it marked an
important era in the history of the
fraternity.
Mister Landon Morris gave an
outline of the organization in the
past and sketched briefly the policy
in the future. The toastmaster then
called upon Father Sullivan, and
then Mr. Jenal. They both stressed
the point of “unity and service” in
their remarks and gave the brothers
much food for thought. After these
brilliant speeches the new officers
for this year were introduced and
formally installed. They are: Johnny
McLaughlin, president; Phil Thomp¬
son, vice-president; Ed De Rochie,
on to show the Alumni an afternoon
of good, old-fashioned battle. Spe¬
cial arrangements in the way of an
Alumni section and so the success
of the day is assured.
And then comes the banquet.
Can't you picture the “Old Grads"
meeting over the soup and recalling
some prank played at the expense of
a former teacher, or conjuring up
pictures of the grand old days when
everyone helped clear the space for
the turf-field, of the burying of the
“Cinder?" or a thousand other happy
memories? Father Fox has made
elaborate plans to make this ban¬
quet an outstanding event in our his¬
tory. The Alumni will be the guests
of the faculty, and we have found,
to our delight, that they are wonder¬
ful hosts.
Next, the magnificent dance at the
Elks' Club ballroom. This will be a
fitting climax to a great week-end,
and will establish, we are sure, a
precedent that will be hard to equal
in any future Alumni reunion. So
then, welcome Old Grads; we throw
open our hearts to the men who
fought and struggled for Loyola
in the days of her infancy.
A casual commentor of Santa Ana
Jaysee announces that the greatest
problem of the day is the distribu¬
tion of wealth. If the author of the
statement is having trouble dispers¬
ing wealth we suggest that he help
some of our Loyola men balance
debits incurred at any of the many
local church bazaars.
secretary; Lane Guthrie, treasurer;
Paul Currin, warden, and Jim Hur¬
ley, junior warden.
A talk by Johnny McLaughlin, the
keynote of which was co-operation,
concluded a glamorous evening for
everyone.
