Arrangements for Georgetown
University's annual homecoming
program include smoker and foot

at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
Coming on the eve of the G. o.

Alumni Club of the District, which

college prom also will be held Fri

Rev. Arthur A. OLeary, s. j., presi-
dent of the university; the Rev.
Francis E. Lucey, S. j., regent Of
the law school; the Rev. John j.
Kehoe. S. j., faculty director Of
athletics in addition to the COACH
ing staff. Head Coach Jack Hagerty,
who has put Georgetown back in
the national football spotlight, will
be one of the principal speakers.
Father Kehoe is still confined in
the university hospital after a Sc
rious illness. Although he is re-.
ported as getting along we'll now,
he will be unable to attend the
home coming events-the first he
will have missed since he took
charge of athletics.
The Hoya, campus paper, is max
ing arrangements for the prom, with
Richard E. McVoy, its editor, serv-
ing as general chairman. There
will be the usual bonfire at the Hill
top earlier in the evening. Girls
from Trinity College, Georgetown
Visitation Convent, Dumbarton COL
lege, National Park Seminary and
other schools will attend the prem
DR.. James S. Ruby, secretary of
the general alumni association, re-
ported that a large number of
alumni are coming here for the
game from nearby Eastern cities.
The Maryland game has been the
chief attraction for coming
week since athletic relations were
resumed between the two schools.
Georgetown alumni, however,
have eyes centered chiefly on the
Boston College game, and that, no
doubt, will draw the biggest at
tendance from Washington and New
York in recent years.
A loud speaker system has been
installed in the senior class hall
with highly satisfactory results.
Students in the rear of the hall,
which is in the White-Gravenor
Building, no longer complain that
they have difficulty hearing some of
tine professors.
Microphone Worn on Lapel.
The microphone, which the lee
turer wears on the lapel Of his coat,
is somewhat similar to the method
employed so successfully at the law
schooi In time, probably, the sys-
tenn may be extended to some Of the
other large classrooms at the col
lege.
Georgetown's Spanish Club, un-
der the direction of Prof. Manuel G..
Martinez of the foreign service
school, now has so members. The
club was formed IL years ago to
stimulate interest in Spanish cul-
ture, history and commerce. as well
as study of the language, which is
so important to students preparing
for Latin American service. Presi-
dent of the club this year is Fran
cisco Linears.
