Don’t Fool Yourself

Pa s s i n garade

By John Meagher% 2 =

The tongue, as Aesop once subtly reminded his master, Xanthus. can as readily be made the organ of T ru th and rea­soning, a key to knowledge and wisdom, a mouthpiece for praise and persuasian, a tool for conquest, as it can become a breeder of disputes and dissension, a vehicle for calumny, blasphemy and falsehood. I t is indeed a most versatile and sur­prising organ. . • • r

The primary purpose of speech is the exteriorization ofmental phenomena—thoughts, wishes, emotions by physical means. Bv sp e e c h one is known to his fellows. Think a while. W hat sort of individual have you been exhibiting in the show­case of your conversation? Consider your thoughts as youhave expressed them.

Stop fooling yourself. The use of loud and disgraceful profanity, the indiscriminate use of slang are only marks of a mind im mature and undisciplined.

E loquence- and success in life depends largely on how elo­quent one is— does not necessitate the use of shocking wordsand s tartling sounds. _

Conversation, “the most accessible of pleasures, as Robert Louis Stevenson called it, is an inevitable and indispensable part of social intercourse. I t is definitely the most precious of the arts. Let not neglect change your conversation into vulgar jargon. Wake vour tongue a servant, not a traitor.

With Russ Breen

All records in the history of the Loyola News were broken in the opening number when for the first time an eight page issue came off the Press. Actually, if we take into account the smaller print tha t we are using, it would be equivalent to nine, and a half pages of our former issues. There will be more eight page issues . .. just as often as we have sufficient m atter that is worth while.

The success of the first issue is due in large measure to the unselfish co-operation given us by Mr. McCormick, publisher of The Monitor, our new printed. Mr. McCormick, former goal tender for Les Canadiens, has helped us to an invaluable extent by the knowledge he has acquired through several years of newspaper work. The sincere interest he has shown in our ipapcjr assures us of a very successful year.

The C.S.R. (Committee of Student Representatives), has held several meetings in the past few weeks, try ing to get the Committee itself organized. The C.S.R. is composed of the presidents of the different classes together with the heads of the different organizations and societies at the college. It is a Committee whose chief function is the yepresentation of the student body to the faculty. In order to achieve any amount of success this year it will be necessary for every student to realize that the C.S.R. is the medium through which every petition must pass before it is brought to the faculty. The sooner the students realize this, the sooner will the C.S.R. be­come recognized as it should be. During this year, if any stu­dent has any suggestion or grievance, he should bring it to the attention of his class president, who in turn will mention it at a meeting of the C.S.R. This is the only way that we can have a definite orderly system and achieve results.

Last week Bernard Vanier, of the class of '45, sailed for France, where he will attend the Sorbonne. Before leaving Bernie willingly accepted the position of Foreign Correspondent for the News - . . Congratulations to Allan McDonald, John Colford and Darrell Walsh, who are now studying for the secular priesthood. Allan, after spending two years in the army, is at the Seminary of (Philosophy, while John and Darrell are at the Grand Seminary.

I t has always been the duty of Freshm en to patrol the field and form a gate squad about the Campus during a foot­ball game. This year the crowds a ttending the games have broken all records. In spite of the fact that 12,000 people witnessed the first two league games. Freshmen, for the most part, have been conspicious by their absence. In order to handle crowds like this properly a large gate squad is necessary. In F reshm an class there are approximately 125 students. If only half of these fulfilled their duty there would be a sufficient number to handle the job, and there would be no reason to ask upper-classmen to line the field while F resh ­men are s itting in the stands. A few loyal Frosh have helped out, but over 80% have not. Let the 80% show their loyalty to Loyola by helping out this Sunday. .

Odds and Ends.—From all present indications it would ap­pear that “Jun io r” Laberge is following his big brother, “T am i’s” footsteps—something must be done. . . . Welcome to Pete Shag, home on leave from the American Navy, who wea­thered the storm last Friday to see Loyola come from behind to tie Montreal High, . . . Apologies to F rank Higgins for the extra “ie” added to his name in the last issue. I t was a typo­graphical e rro r and purely intentional. . .. Word has just been received that forimer editor Jack O’Brien is suffering from an acute a ttack of appendicitis.

Jack suffered his first attack during re treat and was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital. His m other who had just re ­turned from a visit to the hospital said tha t Jack is recover­ing very well and should he re turning to the Novitiate next week. Mrs. O ’Brien also claimed that my predecessor was happy to receive from his mother the first issue of the “N ews” . . . . t i l l the next i s s u e . . . .

PROFOUND SYMPATHYThe N EW S wishes to express the profound sym­

pathy of the Faculty and students, to Reverend Father Stemmier, S.J., class m aster of Third H igh A., whose fa ther died last week, and to Francois, Jean and Andre Mercier, former pupils of Loyola, who lost their father in a tragic accident recently. Dr. Mercier, one of the most eminent urologists in North America, was a friend and champion of Christian education and, in a special manner, of Loyola.

The Loyola campus was this year, as ever, to be the scene of the famous battle. Police were stationed a t intervals along the edge of the campus, and dozens of our own gate- squad were seen standing alertly about. Cars kept driv­ing in and honking in the mid­dle of the crowd, and moving slohvly along with it. Frottn the cars emerged men wearing zoot-coats, gloves and g l i t te r­ing hair, while women in furs and high heels cautiously stepped a f te r them, and all were swept into the noisy mass of humans, of girls in

bobby-socks and ribbons, and boys in sloppy hats and loud ties, marching up before the stands.

As they marched, the regu­lar hum of voices, shouts and greetings that issued from the stands deafened and confused them. They swamped the stands till breathing was diffi­cult. They surrounded the field till moving was impos­sible. ,

F rom time to time cheer­leaders jumped out before the crowd with waving arms and hoarse voices, and cheering sections bellowed so loudly they broke the silence in the distant dressing rooms.

Three minutes remained be­fore the start, two minutes, then finally, entering upon the far corner of the campus, a team was seen running in sin­gle file; another followed. The crowd rose in a mass and the clamour reached its peak. In another moment the famous Thanksgiving Day game would start.

My Favorite Day Dream

In a dense wilderness in far northern Ontario, north of the height of land where the w a t­ers run to the Hudson, in a section of country seen only by few men, lies a little island in the center of a shallow mud- bottomed lake; and upon this island there is a torn shirt that bears my name.

I t is a red-checkered shirt, and it hangs from HTeTowe?' branch of a jack-pine. That is, it was hanging there a month ago when we pushed our canoe off and saw for the last time a rising sun from the little wooded slopes out of which we had cut a clearance, pitched our two tents, and prepared a camp-site for our two-week stay.

The shirt may still be cling­ing to the branch, or it may have been lifted by the wind and flung onto the brush m at­tress below, where, for those two weeks, I laid my h ea d ; or, again, it may have been ripped to shreds by some curious bear; or a trapper, while wan­dering about setting his traps, has found some use for it.

At any rate, this red-check­ered shirt which was once upon my back recalls to my mind a clear picture of the is­land, and the mud-bottomed lake, and the long winding rivers that flow north to the Hudson, and the densely wood­ed wilderness beyond the height of land tha t so few men have seen.

A r o u n d t h e C a m p u s

By Bob Boyle

Hopes for College Football.That old vicious rumor swept the corridors again last

week, and the cry of college ball was heard. I t ’s true that the college was asked to place a team in the Q.R.F.U., but for various reasons the plan didn’t materialize. However, don’t let your hopes fade, lads. I t ’s quite possible tha t a couple of ex­hibition games could still be arranged, if there were enough fellows interested, if sufficient equipment could be found, and if practice hours could be arranged. I t seems that those who are pushing the project of college football m ost are the boys of the Refresher. W h a t’s the m atte r with the rest of the college, don’t you want to see the old team revived?Mighty Slim Crowd.

W e’re referring to the small number of students present at the last senior ga(me against Montreal High. Granted that it was raining quite heavily, that in itself was not sufficient ex­cuse for so many to stay away. I t was ra ther surprising to note that Montreal High had more supporters a t the game than Loyola. Also note that the University s treet lads have only a mediocre team, while we have one tha t is well on its way to taking the league title. Come on, fellows, rain or shine, show your team that you’re behind them all the way.Early Hockey News.

A t the meeting held to discuss the fate of college football, Mr. S tew art made it known that great things are in the offing as regards hockey. It seems that the old college hockey league is about ready to be formed, a n d J i a t already a le tter has been sent to one of the colleges in the States requesting a series of exhibition games. W e also hear that plans are under way for the renting of hours at the Lachine arena as soon as ice is available. An added bit of news is tha t a basketball league is to be formed with Loyola, McGill and Sir George Williams College.Sad News for the Juniors.

Looks as though the equipment shortage has really hit us with a vengeance. A week ago someone broke into the s ta ­dium, forced their way into the Junior dressing room and walked off with twelve complete uniforms. Seems tha t people will go to any length to get equipment these days. Coach John M eagher finds himself in a bit of a spot try ing to field a team without uniforms .Sideline Notes.

T hat cartoon drawn by F ran k McGee certainly packs a lot of power. Some of our 3.30 students should take it to heart, also those who are fond of sitting in various sections of the stands other than those reserved for Loyola. Coach Gordie M ariotte had quite a heart to heart talk last week with his charges on the play of the W est Hill game. Looks as though Ed. M eagher is going to bring home another winner with his Bantams. Some students seem to be real tennis fanatics. No m atter in what shape the courts might be and regardless of the amount of w ater there y o u ’ll find them playing with great gusto. Wonder if John Pare and his Ski-Doodlers will func­tion again this year? By the next issue of the News we should know something more about hockey arrangem ents at Lachine.

By the way, for those who might still be in doubt, Alec Biega is now president of the L.C.A.A. Class representatives for the L.C.A.A. have not yet been elected in some of the col­lege classes. W h a t’s holding things up?
