All newly enrolled Marine officer
candidates will be required to serve
an extended period of active duty
after being commissioned.
Current and future officer re-
quirements of the Marine Corps, as
they are presently indicated, make
desirable longer periods of active
service for all newly commissioned
reserve officers.
Officer Candidate Course candi-
dates enrolled subsequent to Feb. 1,
1954 are subject to this new policy
change now. This new obligated ac-
tive duty service does not apply to
OCC and PLC candidates who are
currently enrolled or whose appli-
cations are awaiting approval; nor
does it apply to reserve officers
now on active duty.
union, so that this may really be
the biggest, and most successful
Reunion ever held on the Hilltop.”
“For,” Brother adds, “we want
to see a bigger and better St. Ed-
ward’s and this can only be ac-
complished if we have a strong
alumni supporting us, not just with
money, although that is important,
but also with spirit and goo'd will
and a desire to see St. Ed’s grow
also ...”
“The faculty can only teach the
students. They can’t be expected to
go out and round them up also.
That is one of the biggest jobs the
alumni can help us do. . . ”
In conclusion, Brother Elmo said,
“I urge every alumnus and ex-stu-
dent who can pdssibly make it to
come to this year’s Reunion. To
paraphase Eddie Block in a recent
letter—even if they have to crawl.”
IN MEMORIAM
The Hilltopper, along with the
student body and faculty of St.
Edward’s University wishes to
express deep sympathy for the
family of Mr. Albert Anderson,
Sr., who died recently in Gal-
veston.

number. Therefore, since the log of
two is approximately 0.3 and a bel
is the log of the ratio of two num-
bers, 5.3 bels would be twice as
large as 5 bels, and 53 decibels
would be twice as large as 50 deci-
bels.
A decibel meter measures the in-
tensity of sound on a logarithmic
scale. That means that this meter
responds to' sound intensity as
though the scale were calibrated
just like a slide rule.
This is done for a very good reas-
on. When the ear hears sound it
actually picks up loudness in a
manner which is roughly logari-
thmic. This is a very good thing,
for if the response of the ear were
not like this, a person could easily
be deafened whenever one would
raise their voice to them. It is,
therefore, to duplicate this mode of
response of the human ear that
decibels are measured on a logari-
thmic scale.

enriched without fertilizers.
Father Patrick noted that the
long, hard work of converting a
country takes many years and many
men. In 1920 there were only about
20 priests and brothers in the dio-
cese where Father was stationed
and now there are 45 priests and 17
brothers, with still more needed.
But Father Patrick hastened to
add, that the life of a missionary is
anything but dull. A few of the
places, Father Patrick has seen oh
his way to and from India have
been Yokahama, Shanghai, Ran-
goon, Hong Kong, Dacca and Rome.
When asked if he’d like to return
again, Father said, “I’d go back in
a minute if I had the chance.” And
that seemed a pretty good recom-
mendation for missionary life.
ALUMNI REUNION-
(Continued from Page 1)
On Sunday, May 2, at 10:30 there
will be a high Mass in the College
Chapel, Our Lady of Victory Chap-
el, for all living and deceased St.
Edward’s alumni and ex-students.
At 12:30, a banquet for the Alum-
ni, their wives or sweethearts and
the Seniors will be given. At the
banquet, Brother Elmo, the presi-
dent of the University will pre-
sent the Exsultat Medal to Jo'seph
Grimes, the 1954 Father of the
Year, and to Harold R. Jansing, the
1953 Father of the Year.
The medal was inagurated this
year and is named for the first
words in the Introit of the Mass of
the Feast of the Holy Family. “Ex-
sultat gradio pater justi.” (“Well
may the father of a noble son re-
joice.”) The Father of the Year is
named on January 10, the Feast of
the Holy Family and the medal
will be presented each year at the
Alumni Reunion.
The Secretary’s office has also
announced that reservations for
lodgings will be arranged, if any-
one should desire it. As in former
years, the office will make the re-
servation and send a card of confir-
mation to the person requesting the
reservation.
Some of the better hotels and mo-
tels in Austin are: the St. Elmo-Tel,
4400 South Congress, the Acorn
Lodges, 3000 South Congress, the
Terrace Motor Hotel, 1215 South
Congress and the Driskill Hotel, 122
East 7th Street.
In his letter to the Alumni, Fou-
gerousse asked that they “contact
all alumni in your vicinity and
urge their attendance; tell them
about your plans to attend ...”
He also advises, “Keep contact
with the Alumni page in the Hill-
topper, where we will list all Alum-
ni returning for the Reunion. This
listing will be augmented with each
issue of the school paper ...”
This list will be kept according
to year and names will be added
each issue until they fill a whole
page, that’s Fougerousse’s goal any-
way.
Brother Elmo, the president of
the University, also adds that he
“would like to see as many ex-stu-
dents as possible come to the Re-
For Draft
The state director of Selective
Service Friday issued a reminder to
students of draft age about the Col-
lege Selective Service test to be
given in the spring.
“Application to take the test must
be postmarked no later than mid-
night, March the 8th,” Brigadier
General Paul L. Wakefield, state
draft director said. The test will be
administered on April 22.
Students were also reminded that
they can pick up bulletins of infor-
mation, application blanks, and en-
velopes in which to mail them at
the Registrar’s office.
To be eligible to apply to take
the test, the student must (1) in-
tend to request deferment as a stu-
dent, (2) be satisfactorily pursu-
ing a full-time course of instruc-
tio'n, and (3) not previously have
taken it.
General Wakefield said he wish-
ed to make it clear that making a
satisfactory score on the test does
not mean automatic deferment for
the student.
It is not mandatory for local
boards to defer students, even
though they make scores equal or
better than those outlined in the
criteria of Selective Service regu-
lations.
A student who has a passing
score and who is placed in, 1-A by
his board has the right of appeal to
a state appeal board, provided he
acts within 10 days after his 1-A
notice is mailed.
Nearly 8,000 Texas college stu-
dents are currently deferred by
state draft boards, many of them
on the basis of Selective Service
test scores.
Students interested in taking the
spring test were urged by General
Wakefield to appply at once.

Miss Gager, Sweetheart of the
“E” Club was elected and was
crowned Queen of the Senior Ball
and 1953 Sweetheart of St. Ed-
ward’s University.
Meyer, the chairman, has an-
nounced that he will be glad to
give what ever help and advice he
can in planning a club’s campaign,
short of making the signs himself.
He would also like the clubs to
note that the three top contestants
last year, the “E” Club, the Knights
of Columbus and the C)alveston
Club, were those that did the most
work as far as signs and campaign-
ing were concerned.

43.8 per cent. The first four games
of the season were played in the
first semester, the last three since
the beginning of the spring term.
In the first game on their sched-
ule the junior quintet met Temple
Junior College in Memorial Gym,
coasting to an easy 62-40 victory.
Fred Paez tied for individual scor-
ing honors with Burns of the op-
posing TJC team by counting 14
points. Art Tyszkiewicz tipped in
13 points and Tom Brusky contri-
buted 11.
The Hilltopper juniors then jour-
neyed to San Marcos, losing there
to a towering Southwest Texas
State “B” team, 56-73. Behind 19-38
at halftime the Edsmen were just
not able to catch up with the Bob-
cats two1 scoring aces, Krueger,
who scored 22 points and Aaron
who poured in another 23. Tom
Gore and Chuck McGannon paced
the St. Ed’s team with 15 points
apiece.
The next game against Texas Lu-
theran College “B” team, in Mem-
orial Gym, resulted in another win
for the Hilltoppers, 70-60. Leading
42-30, at the halftime, the “B” five
coasted the second half, concentrat-
ing on sharpening their offensive
patterns for future games.
Chuck McGannon again led the
scoring with 17 points, closely fol-
lowed by Art Tyszkiewicz and Don
Stump who each made 15 points.
In a return game in Austin,
Southwestern “B” again defeated
the Edsmen 62-86. Three Bobcat
players were especially sharp, with
Krueger counting 20 points, Aaron,
18, and Cole sneaking in 22 more
points. Don Stump led the scoring
for St. Ed’s with a total of 19
points. Chuck McGannon racked up
another 15.
To begin the second semester, the
“B” quintet again defeated the Tem-
ple Junior College Tiger team, 70-
62, although they were required to
come from a 34-36 deficit which
the Tiger team held over them at
the half. Burns led the opposing
team with 21 points to be high
scorer in the contest.
Tom Gore, a freshman from
Evansville, Ind., led the SEU scor-
ing attack with 19 points. Don
Stump chipped in another 16 and
newcomer Tom Boyle, in his first
game on the Hilltopper court, tip-
ped in 10 counters.
San Antonio Junior College, in
the sixth game on the schedule,
handed the team its third defeat,
91-83. Carroll Smith of the opposing
Alamo City team put on the most
amazing one-man offensive show
that has been witnessed on the Hill-
topper court all year. He looped in
a total of 37 points.
Barry Sullivan, a sophomore from
Dallas, had his best night of the
season, sinking 22 points to lead
his Hilltopper mates. Art Tyszkiew-
icz followed closely on Sullivan’s
heels by making 20 points. Sulli-
van made 8 out of 11 free throw
attempts.
And in the last game of the sea-
son the team’s record was again
lowered by their second defeat at
the hands of San Antonio Junior
College.

man, Abbie Anderson, are also
back.
Mitch Tomaszkiewicz, the leading
hurler in the 1953 season, provides
the only pitching experience this
year. Two veteran catchers, Tommy
McLaughlin and Hilary Hunt,
should make the other half of the
battery strong.
Sorely missed on, this year’s team
will be Shortstop Tony Lucci, win-
ner of the 1953 “Most Valuable
Player Award,” who graduated last
May.
But the first game of the season
will not be until March 16, or March
12 if an open date is filled. By then
Norris hopes to have rookies ready
to round the Hilltoppers into a
potent team.
Velocity Printed
Brother Romard Barthel, C.S.C.,
will have published an article en-
titled “Sound Velocity in Some
Aqueous Solutions as a Function
of Conception and Temperature” in
the March issue of the Journal of
Acoustical Society of America.
Brother Romard has had many
articles and papers published in
learned publications throughout the
United States.
In the recent article, Brother
Romard explains in detail his theo-
ry on the variation of sound velo-
city in dilute solutions.
According to the article, it has
been known for some time that, for
dilute solutions sound velocity is
a linear function of concentration,
but why this relation is always lin-
ear could not be explained.
Brother Romard presents a the-
dry that offers a satisfactory solu-
tion.
The experimental data from
which the theory was derived were
obtained by means of an acoustic
interferometer.
