Adopting the custom long preva- lent in European universities and in vogue among the larger universitie; of our own country, the senior class B Catholic University at its meeting Friday determined on the selection of class hats to be worn by ity mem- bers. The class has availed itself of the privilege of wearing the Uni- versity’s colors and accordingly adopted maroen and black for the colors of the hats, Jim Freney was placed {n charge of the detalls of dis- tribufiton. In a statement to the claws President Hogan advocated the permanent adoption as a custom of the wearing of class hats and ex- pressed the hope that the other un- dergraduate classes would follow the example Initiated by the senlors. The rapid growth throughout the country of golf and the enthusiasm especially among colleges for the game resulted in steps being taken by the athletic director, Charlie Mo- ran, for the creation of a golf club and team at Catholic University. The almost universal wearing of knickers on the campus would indicate re- markable backing and exceptional prospects for the club, but the ath- letic director avers that all who wear knickers are not adept with the irons. About twenty-five men have signi- fied their interest in the club, and Tex Kyle and George Beatty are co- operating with Mr. Moran in securing a practice course and finding means of financing the university .tekm in intercollegiate competition.” An elim- ination tournament iy to be held within the next few weeks to plck the material for the school team. After the lapse of a year track ac- tivities will be resumed when about twenty-five or thirty men are ex- pected to report to Coach Charlie Moran for initial practice in the school gymnasium tomorrow night. In past years the university has been very successful in thiy sport, and in 1920 and 1921 the S. A. A. A. meets were held at the huge gym- nasium at Brookland,-Which is {deal for such an indoor affair. The coach plans no such extensive program of activities this year, but expects to hold a class tournament February 17. The nucleus will thus be created ‘for the formation of a strong team next year. The rector, Bishop Shahan, in his weekly talk to the student ,body Wednesday, emphasized strongly the duty which every educated man has of ‘interesting himself in the eclvic affairs of his local community or of the larger affairs of the nation. He urged the future lawyers, physi- cians, business men, etc.. now study- ing at the university not to be advo- cates for themselves alone, but to recognize that they live not alone, But a community life, dependent upon others for their daily bread, and owe their education to the advantages whicl# soclety has prepared. The rec- tor eulogized the work of the Knights of Columbus, of the legal profession and of our law-making body,-which he sald were composed of men rec- ognizing their higher civic dutles. The sophomore class held a meeting recently at which the members began preparations for the sophomore prom Which will be held most prabably im- mediately after the Easter holidays. A prom committee wes appointed, consisting of Luke Stapleton, Henrys Orme, Robert McGuinness, Mike Ker- rigay, Bill Hagen, Roger Tierney and v of alter Costello. 1t is planned to have the dramatic Isoclety stage a play Friday night. ¥riday afternoon a tea dance will be given and Saturdey night the prom will be held.
