CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

Adopting the custom long preva-
lent in European universities and in
vogue among the larger universities
Of our own country. the senior class
Friday determined on the selection Of
class hats to be worn by it's mem
bers. The class has availed itself of
the privilege of wearing the Uni
sersity's colors and accordingly
adopted maroon and black for the
colors of the hats. Jim Frenzy was
placed in charge Of the details of dis
tributiton. In a statement to the
class President Hogan advocated the
permanent adoption as a custom Of
pressed the hope that the other un-
dergraduate classes would follow the
example initiated by the seniors.
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-
lettc director AYERS that all who wear
knickers are not adept with the irons.
About twenty-five men have signi
fed their interest in the club, and
Tex Kyle and George Beatty are CO.
operating with Mr.. Moran in securing
practice course and finding means
of financing the university team in
intercollegiate competition. An elm
ination tournament is to be held
within the next few weeks to pick
the material for the school team.
After the lapse of 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 this sport,
and In 1920 and 1921 the S. A. 4. A.
meets were held at the huge gym
nasium at Brookland. which is ideal
for such an indoor affair. The coach
plans no such extensive program OF
activities this year, but expects to
hold class tournament February. II.
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 civic
affairs of his local community or
Of the larger affairs of the nation.
He urged the future lawyers, physi-
clans, business men, etc, now study
ing at the university not to be advo-
Gates for themselves alone. but to
recognize that they live not alone. But

others for their daily bread. and owe

which society has prepared. The rec
