NEW FRATERNITY ON CAMPUS
LOYOLAN TO BE
SEPARATE FROM
THE HIGH SCHOOL
At a meeting of the staff last
week it was decided to publish the
LOYOLAN independent of the High
School department. Ever since the
Loyolan was established five years
ago, to replace the old “Cinder,”
the presence of the High School
page has been the only factor that
has prevented it from being a real
collegiate paper.
This is something that both stu¬
dent bodies have wanted for sev¬
eral years; but it is only now that
it has become practical, due to the
phenominal growth of both depart¬
ments in the last two years. The
name of the new high school pub¬
lication has not .. been decided as
yet. It is felt that whatever size
paper the preps use will be an im¬
provement over the two pages they
received in the Loyolan as it was
very difficult to edit a satisfactory
high school section among the dis¬
play ads of the college paper.
The fact that the high school
will have a paper of their own does
not mean that the LOYOLAN will
cease to print prep news. We
realize that the majority of the
college men are alumni of
Loyola High and should therefore
be interested in the doings of their
old alma mater.
Now that this great step has been
taken it is up to the college to sup¬
port the paper better than it has
in the past. No longer can we rely
on the high school for regular sub¬
scriptions. The college men must
subscribe 100% in order to put the
Loyolan on a par with other strict¬
ly collegiate papers.

cafe.
ARE YOU LOYAL
TO YOUR PAPER?
Are you loyal to your paper?
Are you reading your own issue,
or have you borrowed this paper
from someone else? The LOY¬
OLAN needs your support now
more than it did at any period
of its existence. The fact that
we no longer have a high school
section means that this is a col¬
lege paper needing college men’s
support.
A large paid circulation means
more advertisers, and more ad¬
vertisers equals the best publi¬
cation that we can possibly give
you.

PROMINENT ALUMNUS
PASSES TO REWARD
The many friends of Elisandro
William Palomares, more familiarly
known as “Polly” to those who
khSw" liith And " loved him so well,
were grieved to learn of his sudden
death a few days ago. He passed
away on the morning of August
20th after an operation for acute
appendicitis, and his funeral took
place the following Wednesday
morning from the Blessed Sacra¬
ment Church in Hollywood. The
church was filled to capacity with
the sorrowing friends and relatives
of Elisandro.
He was a descendant of two of
the oldest and best known Spanish
families in Southern California. His
father, Porfirio Palomares, still re¬
tains property at Pomona noce in¬
cluded in the great land grant of
Francisco Palomares nearly three
hundred years ago. On the mater¬
nal side he was descended from
Bernardo Rorba, the holder of a
great rancho near Santa Ana,
whose great grandson he was. Be¬
sides his parents he leaves a sister,
Maria, and a brother, Vincent.
Elisandro entered Loyola during
his freshman year in college and re¬
mained there for his sophomore

rolled student. The Senior and
Junior classes form one division,
the Sophomore class, one division
and the Freshman class one divi¬
sion. Each gr,oup will have its
Speaker or presiding officer and a

sist of scheduling outside debates

ensic line. Father Sullivan, our be¬
loved President has every reason
to expect pleasing results from the
newly inaugurated “ system" of de¬
bating. An extensive campaign is
now in progress for greater debat¬
ing at Loyola.
The Sophomore division of the
Loyola Debating Club opened the
current season Monday night, Sep¬
tember 19th at the Henry T. Gage
council, K. of C. M'essrs McGrath
and Walsh advanced1 the affirma¬
tive arguments on the question.
Messrs. Haggarty and Murray ad¬
vocated the cause of the negative.
The question favored government
the timely nature of the topic was
control of transoceanic aviation,
received by the audience with care¬
ful interest and much enthusiasm.
The short time for preparation of
this debate detracted from finish¬
ed argumentation, but the speakers
rose in eloquence. The decision
was awarded the affirmative.

THREE WISE FOOLS
on drama™ MENU
Loyola play goers may look for¬
ward to a great season, according
to reports from our director Mr.
Jim Gill. During the present
1Шо1аШс" уШг,
" the
ЕюуоЙ,
Play¬
ers under the capable direction of
Mr .Gill, will present a comedy
drama, a drama and there is also
a possibility of producing a pageant.
According to Director Gill, the
Three Wise Tools, by Austin Strong
will be presented by the Loyola
Players in the early part of
November. This announcement
should be greeted with much
enthusiasm on the campus. Many
are expected to try out for the
cast. Last year a record was
achieved in dramatics at Loyola.
Never before were two plays pre¬
sented by the college in one year.
Nor was such a keen interest ever
before taken in dramatics by the
student body at large. The casts of
both last year’s plays were picked
from a large field of candidates.
So it is expected that a keener
interest than ever will be taken in
dramatics this year.
We feel that the entire student
body will show its appreciation of
Mr. Gill's efforts and success last
year, by coming out and supporting
dramatics 100% this year.
ORGANIZATION
IN LAW DEPT.
Loyola grows, and with its steady
growth those institutions which
are an essential part of college life,
appear upon the campus, and their
appearance is emblematic of the
progress of Loyola.
Coming as a complete surprise to
the majority of the students of
Loyola is the announcement of a
new legal fraternity to be known
as Psi Delta Phi, receiving the sanc¬
tion of the Rev. President and fac¬
ulty of the college.
Following the established policy
of the college the Rev. President in
speaking for the faculty and
while announcing their official rec¬
ognition of Psi Delta Phi and
granting to this organization the
privilege of participating in the
campus activities as an organiza¬
tion, have placed this student group
on probation for the usual period
Of a year before insuring to them a
charter.
The nucleus of this new organ¬
ization is composed of ten charter
members whose activity for Loyola
is well known to students of the
law department. They are namely:
J. F. Bremner, president.
A1 Risse, vice president.
Joseph Strople, secretary.
Joseph Doyle, treasurer.
William Beech, James Hookstrat-
tan, John Quinn, James Brice, Wes¬
ley Grissinger and John Costello,
with the Rev. Fr. Sullivan as an
honorary member and chaplain.
The Delts have been in a state
of organization for nearly a year
with the bulk of organization being
consummated during the past sum¬
mer so as not to interfere with
studies. All details as to ritual,
constitution and by-laws have been
carefully perfected and using the
words of the Rev. Fr. Sullivan in
commenting on the ritual “It is a
beautiful and unique thing.”
The Psi Delta Phi being strictly
a professional organization does
