Catnpus News Digest By Mason C. Benner, '32 SODALITY LECTURES
On Wednesday November 25 the first of a series of monthly lectures for all the Catholic students of the University of Dayton was given in the Gymnasium. As explained in advance by Father Francis Friedel, director of spritual activities, all lectures would belong to a general topic, "Catholic Action," as devised and promoted by the National Catholic Welfare Council. One hundred and thirtyfour Catholic universities and colleges throughout the country are participating in this year's program. DICKMAN RIFLES EXHIBITION
The special drill conducted by the Dickman Rifles was the outstanding feature of the Armistice Day Dance held at the Miami Hotel on the evening of N ovember 11. Major Ralph Canter, commander of the R.O.T.C. unit, was in charge of the drill. Captain Francis Pfister, who commands the Dickman group, made a short talk preceding the exhibition drill, in which he told the purpose of the Dickman organization and the history of the society. The drill was loudly applauded by those who attended the dance. UPSILON DELTA SIGMA DEBATERS
In order to give the members of Upsilon Delta Sigma, the University Debating Society, a better background on which to prepare their arguments on the subject of controlled economy, Brother Herman Brendel, S.M., Professor of Economics, has delivered two very enlightening talks. In his first discussion Brother Brendel gave a general survey of the various economic policies that have been followed from that of mercantilism to our present capitalistic . system. The second lecture dealt with the history of the capitalistic system in the United States, particularly with regard to the attempts on the part of the government to cope with the situation. Since the various teams have the subject very well in hand, it should only be a matter of a few days before the first practice . debates are staged. PRE.-MED TEST IN APTITUDE
Medical Aptitude Test of the Association of American Medical Colleges · will be given at the University on Friday December 11, it was announced by Dr. Francis J. Molz, S.M., of the Pre-Medics Department. The test will be given simultaneously in more than six hundred colleges to all medical students who expect to apply for admission to medical schools next fall. HONOR MILlTARY MAN
,
Staff Sergeant D. C. Blackburn, who has been on duty in the Military Department at U. D. for the past few years, will be retired from the Regular Army on November 30, having served his country for a period of thirty years. A review of the R.O.T.C. unit will be held in his honor on the morning of November 30, at which time he will formally retire to civilian life. He is now visiting at his home in Kentucky. Upon re• tirement he and Mrs. Blackburn will go to Florida, where • he will establish a home. The order announcing his retirement was received by Colonel Ristine on November 12, but under present regulations he will not be formally retired until the last day of the month, on which his thirty years' service expires.
BRAHMANS HONORARY SOCIETY
The Brahmans, Dayton's newly organized honorary society, held its regular meeting at the Sign of the Swastika in the Wooden Pagoda. Those present were the eight charter members: William Hoefler, Art Routzong, Barry Dwyer, Art Wallace, Thomas Devine, Ray Blosser, Louis Otto, and Mason Benner, and the two faculty supervisors, Dr. Lawrence Boll and Joe Keller. The entire meeting was devoted to discussion on method and procedure for the admittance of new members who merit admittance as "University students of irreproachable character who distinguish themselves through consistent production of creative work in literature, music, drama and speech, or through any other active intellectual endeavor of outstanding merit." The society is distinctly unique in character, and hopes to group together the real active minds on the campus and by so doing aid the activities in which all are associated. As far as is known "The Brahmans" is the sole honorary society of its type in existence on any university campus. ' INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL
Every week on the gridiron heroes of the Intramural League again take the field in quest of the "Mug," symbol of something or other. Since t he League is just entering upon its third week, it is still anyone's championship. The League is composed of three squads, one representing the Alumni Hall boys, one wearing the colors of St. Joseph's Hall, and another the Dayton students. The latter are leading the League at present, but the rivalry is something terrific, and it would be fatal to endeavor to predict the final outcome. I. R. C. CLUB PROGRAM
Two speakers appeared at the first meeting of the International Relations Club. Miss Henrietta Cowden, t he aunt of Robert Cowden, a student at this university, was an unexpected but welcome speaker. She has just returned from India, where she had spent twenty-six years in the Punjab district. She gave a general description of India, its civilizations, and its economic conditions. Brother Herman Brendel, economics professor of the University, was next on the program, his subject being the "Gold Standard and International Relations." He treated principally the technical and fundamental conditions of the gold standard, reasons for the return to gold, and why silver failed. A local delegation will attend the I. R. C. Conference at Miami University Decemb~ 11 and 12. ENGINEERS
For some time work has been. in progres in cataloguing the volumes of the library of the Chemistry Department. Duplicate copies of the card index file will be placed in the Albert Emanuel Library. The Electrical Engineering Department acknowledges the arrival of ten motors for their laboratory. The new equipment is a donation of Mr. Leedham of the Dayton Electric Service Company, The second meeting of the Student Chapter of the American S~city of Civil Engineers was held in the Library Audi rium. The feature. of the meeting was a slide lectur , "The Westminster County Park System."

Mrs. Margaret Gibbons Dies Our sympathies are extended to Michael J. Gibbons, Jr., '95, president of the Lay Board of Trustees of the University, to Arthur M. J. Gibbons, '99, and to other members of the family on the death o{ their mother, Mrs. M. J. Gibbons, Sr., a lifelong resident of 'Dayton, who died Saturday November 14, 1931, at 4:30 a.m. at her home. Mrs. Gibbons was seventy-seven years of age at the time of her death, and she had been ill for the past several years. Born in Dayton on September 24, 1854, daughter of James and Margaret Ohmer Sage, practically all of her life has been spent in Dayton, where she attended St. Joseph School and in 1877 was married to Mr. Gibbons. The mother of ten children, seven boys and three girls, she was an ideal homemaker and constant in her loyalty as wife and mother, living to see her husband become one of the outstanding citizens of the community for many years prior to his death in 1925. For many years, when more actively able to do so, she participated in charitable and welfare activities. She always found time to help the sick and needy as their wants came to her attention. Besides Michael J., Jr., and Arthur M. J ., three other children survive. They are Mrs. A. L. Saunders, Mrs. E. A. Hall, and Mrs. W. A. Fitzpatrick. She also leaves sixteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. Emma Ward, of Cincinnati. Mrs. Gibbons' life has been one of great activity, much of it centered in Sacred Heart Church of Dayton, of which she was a charter member and to the support of which she gave much of her time, talents and means. She had also been a member of the. Needlework Guild since its beginning in Dayton. Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning, November 17 at 8:30 at the residence and at 9:00 o'clock at Sacred Heart Church, burial being made in Calvary Cemetery in Dayton.

of not having been conquered, Dayton will retain possession of the Governor Myers Y. Cooper Cup for another year, their third straight. Coach Baujan's players scored in the last minute of the first half. Fitzsimmons punted to the one-yard line where Brannen, Xavier's safety man, was downed. Beckwith was forced to kick on the first play and the ball was downed on the 28-yard marker. With a minute to play, the Flyer backs managed to take the ball to the five-yard line, where Fitzsimmons squirmed through left tackle for the touchdown. Danny Gill added the extra point by an excellent place-kick. Xavier's score came from a perfectly-executed pass, Beckwith to Hughes. Beckwith also added the vital extra marker. Dayton made eight first downs to Xavier's six and gained 139 yards from scrimmage to X's 99.

were in on every play. Dayton held the ball most of the time, scoring eighteen first downs to Wittenberg's four. They were superior here, but the Tigers took advantage of all their laxities. CHARITY POST-SEASON TILT
Following is what local sports writers have to say about the Notre Dame squad that is coming here for next Saturday's game, which is being sponsored by the Dayton Chamber of Commerce: "The word around South Bend is that Hunk Anderson is sending a strong 'B' team to Dayton next Saturday to play the Flyers in a charity contest. "Anderson is sending some of his better men among the sophomores and juniors who haven't seen a lot of varsity action this year, but who are expected to fit into the picture next year. "It is not much of a problem to gather up a squad big and str!>ng enough to engage another varsity team while the big Notre Dame Varsity is meeting an important rival.

â&#x20AC;˘
By failing to take advantage of three scoring opportunities and heaving a few too many wild passes the University of Dayton fell before a powerful and quickthinking Wittenberg team. Dayton outplayed Wittenberg in every department of the game in the first half, scoring one touchdown, and having the ball on the one-foot line twice, but lacked the final punch. The Lutherans scored all their touchdowns on long runs. Plummer grabbed a punt on the second play of the -second half and ran 58 yards for a score. In the fourth quarter Douds intercepted Fitzsimmons' pass and ran 53 yards to the one-foot line where Wright carried it over for ,the second marker.

COMPLIMENTS OF
No Testimonial Dinner This Year The annual testimonial dinner dance held the past two years at the close of the football season in honor of the Flyers will not be staged this year due to the present financial depression. In the past these events which were held at the Biltmore Hotel at five dollars per couple were sponsored by the Alumni Association. In face of the difficulty experienced in making these events financially self-supporting it was thought advis::~ble to call on· such an expensive party for this year. A testimonial for the 1931 Flyers will be held in the University of Dayton Auditorium in the form of a stag party on about December 3. This party will be open to alumni and students. There will be cards, singing, music, athletic stunts, the awarding of monograms, the election of the 1932 football captain, and a buffet lunch. A prominent local speaker will also be secured to address the gathering at this smoker.

The most revolutionary development in the motion picture industry since the advent of sound films was recently announced in Chicago by James E. Grimes, '04, scientist and engineer, who has perfected a new process for producing composite or superposed pictures. In the presence of chemists and film technicians, Grimes displayed his new process, which utilizes a photographic treatment of the film, It cuts in half the time and expense of making composite pictures, which are required whenever the action and scenic background are filmed separately, "The new process is simple and accurate," Grimes explained, "and requires no more film than is necessary to make an ordinary picture. It enables producers to give the public many pictures hitherto impossible because of prohibitive co~t3 of production. "In the past, many weeks of filming and re-filming were required and, even then, a trained eye could detect that the foreground and background had been photographed separately. The new method makes it possible to process an entire film in several hours and the result is a picture which shows no intermingling of detail or halation about the foreground image." The basic idea for previous methods of making composite picture> was also developed in Grimes' laboratory, but he explained that all previous methods will now become obsolete. -------U.D.-------
