Evidence that the activities of St.
Edward’s council Knights of Colum-
bus, are heard of in distant places
comes to the local council in a letter
from The Michigan Councillor, a
newspaper published by the Knights
of Columbus of Michigan.
Ip the letter, Jerry Parle, assis-
tant editor, said that he has heard
frequently of the St. Edward’s coun-
cil, and offered his congratulations
for the success that the council has
enjoyed. He also asked that news
concerning the council be sent to his
paper, where he said it will find ready
publication.
“Our paper is particularly inter-
ested in Catholic colleges and uni-
versities,” he wrote, “and the fact
that you have a council within your
school makes any news matter that
you might send to us more desir-
able.”
■ Parle also placed the St. Edward’s
council on the Michigan Councillor
mailing list.
Under the direction o,f Al Saraflny,
head of athletics at St. Edward’s uni-
versity, the aspirants for next year’s
football squad began winter training-
on Jan. 13.
Because of me inclement weather,
Saraflny has been unable to give any
field work for more than a week. The
work during that time was all in-
side in the form of “skull practice."
Last Thursday the weather had
cleared up, however, and the squad
got out on the turf.
The duration of the winter practice
session is not known for certain, but
it will very probably last until the
opening of baseball and track train-
ing. Those men who are now out
for basket ball and who are going
out for football next year will have
a short practice session after the
basket ball season is over, accord-
ing to Saraflny.
Of the men out at present many
are new. Those out are: Johnson,
Quebedeaux, Mooney, G. Strauss, Mc-
Elroy, Blackwell, Parma, Ford,
Brady, Smith, Hinojosa, McLaughlin,
Talerico, Califa, Weeks, Benavides,
Canion, Gault, Stavinoha, F. Roberts,
Sliva, Foley, Bomba, Ransom, B'usby,
Marik, Rivas, and Joe and John Fin-
ger. ----------o----------
REILLY AND DYER VISIT
John (Sticks) Reilly and Sammy
Dyer, graduates of St. Edward’s in
and 1929 respectively, were
visitors at the school Sunday, Jan.
19.
B'oth Reilly and Dyer were star
athletes while at St. Edward’s and
are now engaged in business in Hous-
ton. Reilly is director of the recre-
ation system of Houston, and Dyer is
employed at a brokerage house.
They did not visit long, however,
only stopping long enough to say
hello to their friends and then left
for Houston.

KOSSBIEL TALKS OF
ANCIENT ANIMALS
AND GLACIAL AGE
The territory in the northern part
of the United States from New York
on the Atlantic coast to Washington
on the Pacific and reaching as far
south in Missouri as Kansas City,
was once covered with a sheet of ice
reaching a height in many places
from three to four thousand feet,
Loye Kossbiel said in reading a paper
before a regular meeting of the Neo-
Scholastic society of St. Edward's,
Wed., Jan. 22.
A discussion followed the reading
of the paper. Father Hagerty add-
ed to this discussion a bit of inter-
esting information about the age of
man on earth and how much can be
certainly known about it.
At one point, Kossbiel said, “This
line may be traced from Nantucket
through Long Island past New York
towards the western extremity of
Lake Erie, then in a direction to-
wards Ohio, down to Mississippi;
then it follows the Missouri to Kan-
sas City. The ice covered the whole
of Nebraska, Dakota, Montana, and
Washington, reaching a height in
many places of from three to four
thousand feet.”
This is said to have occurred dur-
ing the second glacial period. At the
same time the greater part of north-
ern Europe was covered by an ice
sheet, Kossbiel said.
One of the most talked of animals
which existed after this ice sheet
receded is the hairy elephant, he
said. Quoting an authority named
Sollas, he added that remains of
this ancient animal were found in
places in Spain, Sicily, and in France,
and tusks of the animal have been
found which reach as much as 23
feet in length. The skin, he said,
was as much as three cm. in thick-
ness and a layer of fat beneath this
was about nine cm. thick. This af-
forded the animal protection against
the rigors of the cold climate.
“The woolly rhinoceros was pro-
tected with a coat of fine wool or
long hair,” he said. “It was armed
with two large horns sometimes
reaching a length of three feet.”
In addition to the animals describ-
ed there is evidence of the existence
of the hippopotamus, red deer, rein-
deer, and the musk-ox, he said.
TOWER WORKERS
(Continued from page 1)
have been visiting the merchants and
business men of the city of Austin
in the past week, seeking advertise-
ments, but their work has been ham-
pered by the extreme cold.
On Jan. 21, Murray Allen of the
Service Engraving Co., which is do-
ing the engraving for the Tower this
year, was at St. Edward’s. When
he left for San Antonio he took with
him the picture of the girl who was
chosen Tower beauty by the popular
vote of the students on Jan. 18.
The name of the girl will not be re-
vealed until the Tower comes out in
May, however.
Fanette and Pessoney were in San
Antonio over the week-end of Jan.
18. While there they visited the
plant of the Service Engraving Co.,
and were shown over the entire
works by the management.
The Tower staff members are still
soliciting subscriptions among the
students. As the success of the
Tower depends in a large part on
the co-operation of the student body,
Fanette asked all the students who
possibly could to subscribe for the
Tower. He congratulated the Tower
staff on the work they have done so
far in preparing their class year-
book. ---------o---------
It’s too bad that it isn’t warm
enough to go swimming in the win-
