Alumni Pledge $175,000.00 To Loyola COLLEGE YEAR Nearly 600 men await the ring¬ ing of classroom bells and call to field of various college activities as the coming term becomes a real¬ ity. Many new policies have been adopted which present greater op¬ portunities and facilitate the work of the faculty and student leaders. The spirit of Loyola has manifest¬ ed itself previous to the opening day as more wide spread than ever before. The- reasons for the enthusiasm are many, the Greater Loyola of Del Rey is fast becoming a reality as concrete is being poured into the forms of the walls which will in the near future harbor the stu¬ dents of Purple and Gold. Con¬ struction has been under way for the greater part of the summer and the building contract calls for the completion of two units of the uni¬ versity before the beginning of the second semester. The drive for funds is organized and supported by many of the big¬ gest business and civic leaders in the city of Los Angeles. All of which tends to encourage and in¬ spire the students to greater heights of interest and activity. Student Body Cards for Publica¬ tion subscriptions and admittance to Athletic contests assist man¬ agers, who may now depend upon (Continued on Page 4) Loyola Host at Exposition University Day at the Industrial Exposition of the Southwest was celebrated Sunday, September 2, by an elaborate educational program of music and oratory. The united choirs of Los Angeles consisting of 300 voices and the complete Sym¬ phony Orchestra rendered many famous immortal selections. Rev. Fr. Sullivan, S.J., represent¬ ing Loyola, the host of the day, addressed the group on the topic of the day. Eve Southern, noted film artist rendered a beautiful contralto solo, ‘The Cry of Rachel.’ Professor Sandor Halfax, of Loy¬ ola, Master of Ceremonies, con¬ ducted the program in the interest of higher education which made University Day at the Exposition a high light of the great Industrial Pageant. BUSINESS MEN TO DIRECT CAMPAIGN MOVEMENTS Fired with the purpose of assisting youth, education and civic progress, community leaders representing all credal and busi¬ ness interests have united forces in an historic civic campaign to provide a fund of $4,000,000 toward the construction of a $5,000,000 Loyola University. Led by Judge Louis W. Myers, former chief of the Supreme Court of California, as General Chairman and James Woods, Vice President of the Biltmore Hotel system, as chairman of the Central Committee, hundreds of business and professional leaders of the Southland have pledged their active service toward the campaign. Following weeks of preparation* the great campaign machinery started in motion at a luncheon held in the Biltmore Hotel, August 22. Nearly 200 of the outstanding men of the community participated in the day’s program. Indicative of the popular note that has been sounded in the pro¬ posed construction program, the speakers of the day included Judge Myers, George L. Eastman, Presi¬ dent of the Chamber of Commerce; Harry Chandler, publisher, The Times; Joseph Scott, Attorney and orator; Louis B. Mayer, vice- president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the Rev. Father Joseph Sulli¬ van, S.J., president of Loyola Col¬ lege. As outlined in this meeting a committee of 1,000 men and women will be organized to extend the ap¬ peal for subscriptions to the Loy¬ ola University Building Fund dur¬ ing an intensive period from Octo¬ ber 4 to 17. This committee will be divided into six divisions, each headed by a General, Colonel and Major. Each division is to have 20 cap¬ tains, followed by five lieutenants. Prior to the intensive period dur¬ ing which the General Committee will march across Los Angeles County, a Central Committee head¬ ed by James Woods and comprised of 100 of the foremost men of the city will devote their efforts to¬ wards large subscriptions to the general fund. A sub-Committee will devote itself exclusively to the purpose of obtaining memorials in amounts from $300,000 to $1,200,- 00Q, which sums will provide for the construction of an individual building or an entire college unit in the university system. The vice-chairmen of the Central Committee are Harry F. Chandler, publisher; John G. Bullock, mer¬ chant; James R. Martin, broker, and Leo V. Youngworth, attorney. The fact that the committes are composed largely of non-Catholic has created wide comment. All of the committeemen in joining with the campaign have voiced an em¬ phatic desire to do something worthwhile for the young men of Southern California and to advance Los Angeles to a foremost posi¬ tion among the educational centers of the West. Preparations have ben made by (Continued on Page 4) Loyolan Profs Win Judgeships Southern California has to fig¬ ure Loyola when it figures elections hereafter. No small part of the re¬ cent election was played by Loy- olans. Three of our Law Profes¬ sors, Judges Tappan, Yankwich and Fricke, ran unopposed seats on the Superior Court Bench, while Judge Aggeller, won over his opposition by a very generous mar¬ gin. Not only the professors are com¬ ing into prominence, but two of our students came out on top when the results were totalled. Bill Byrne, erstwhile State legislator of last year’s Junior class was elect¬ ed Assemblyman from his Boyle Heights district, and we feel real proud of little Bill. The other student who showed the rest of the common people up was the well known Judge Georgia Bullock, who was re-elected by a generous mapority. While Judge Bullock is very widely known, it is not so well known that she has signed up for the Doctor of Juris¬ prudence course at Loyola. Enlarge College of Commerce In order to accommodate those who find it impossible to attend classes during the day by reason of employment during that time. Loyola has instituted a . night course in Commerce and Finance of the same quality as those offered in the day. Applicants for admission must first apply by filling out the special form provided for this purpose. Those wishing to work towards a degree must have completed a full four years High School course, be of at least twenty-one years of age, and have completed two years of business experience.
