On Nov. 6, St. Mary's law school re-
enacted one of its ail too few traditions,
Red Mass, or, as it's beginning to be
known, "Soire'e Reuschlein. " As last year,
the night was carried off with the gracious -
ness and attention to detail and protocal
that has made Dr. Reuschlein so valued
an asset at St. Mary's. His aplomb and
fastidiousness lent an air of dignity and
quiet excitement to what could have been
a tamale and Pearl hoe-down version of
"Round-up Red Mass. "
Mrs. Reuschlein, the "grande dame"
and unofficial hostess of Red Mass, added
her own special charm and coquetterie,
welcoming the dignitaries. Perhaps for
next year, Mrs. Reuschlein's great
capacity as a hostess will not go unnoticed
and she will "officially" be asked to be
hostess, an addition which could only
compliment the evening.
To the blaze of trumpets and voices of a
an exceptional choir, the procession of
robed student assistants and velvet-clad
professors marched with deliberate
solemnity to the carefully prepared alter,
ablaze with scarlet flowers. Two pro-
fessors were absent from the procession;
Mr. Scott, whose camera expertise was
needed to record the mass on film, and
Mr. Castleberry, who was late.
In his remarks following the Gospel and
readings done by Terry Vogel and Prof.
Black, the Archbishop talked about the
upcoming Catholic Jubilee Year of 1975.
He reminisced about his experiences as
a young priest in Rome during the Jubilee
Year of 1925. Had his speech been any
longer, we would have all indeed missed
the 1975 Jubilee Year.
Two participants in the mass were
Mr. Cantu, resident sculpture collector,
and Maggie Know-dell, resident Zeus of our
own little Mt. Olympus, the Law Journal.
The mass ended with the singing of the
first verse of the National Anthem and the
mumbling of its fourth verse.

The cocktail reception which followed
was "eagerly awaited." One Texas —
celebrant observed, "I leked ta die wait
on a drank. " Thankfully, others were
less zealous. Thankful, too , for a de-
lightful menu. Crisp hors d'oeuvres
piqued the appetite and mellow cocktails
greased the all too often ignored second
side of the legal education: socializing,
A standing ovation is owed to Dr.
Reuschlein for his efforts in making Rei
Mass the St. Mary's social and devotioi
event of the year.
DOMESTIC RELATIONS
A double wedding will be held on Dec,
when Pat Sanders marries his fiancee,
Mary Pat, and Arthur Krunchberg mari
his fiancee, Rose. An interesting twist
to the double ceremony will be the fact
that the Sanders wedding will be a Cathc
ceremony in Missouri, while the Kruncl
berg wedding will be a Jewish ceremon]
in New Jersey. Unfortunately, distana
precludes the couples from having their
receptions together. While official wore
is not in as to where the Sanders recept
will be, the Krunchberg reception will t
at the Crystal Palace (hopefully, no re-
lation to the Crystal Pistol).
