              I ''s. Volume 55 Number 2 Albert Galowitch "I said some did not select their courses, and I will fight 'The DePaulia' on this notion that the students did not have an opportunity to select their courses." Photo by Kimberly Skala By Kathleen Stenson In May 1976, DePaul University acquired property from the McCormick Theological Seminary. The property extends from Sheffield Ave. to Fremont St. between Fullerton and Belden Ave. (see map). Although plans have not been finalized as to the physical use of the buildings, the names of the buildings have been changed and some renamed in honor of past presidents of DePaul. In June, 1976, the Administration Council designated new names to those buildings as well as a few other buildings on the original Lincoln Park Campus. The new names of the buildings on the former McCormick property are as follows: (refer to map) 1) A former dormitory called Previous Presidents Honored in Renaming Alumni Hall was renamed in honor of the Very Reverend Francis V. Corcoran, C.M., who served as president of DePaul from 1930-1935. 2) The gym building was named in memory, of the Very Reverend Theodore J. Wangler, C.M., who served DePaul in many ways as a teacher and a close friend of the students. He retired as Executive VicePresident of Student Services. 3) The graduate dorm, formerly known as Zeno's Hall is now renamed in honor of the Very Reverend Francis X. McCabe, C.M., president of DePaul from 1910 io 1920. From the original Lincoln Park Campus, the buildings have been designated as follows: 4) Clifton Hall is the new name of the Student Residence Hall. This name Sports Schedules Announced Janis Lesoto The DePaulia DePaul College Registration Told "I would make suggestions and the students got to pick whatever they wanted and put the courses in positions which were convenient for them." Photo by Chris Mlynarczyk was derived from the street upon which this hall was built. 5) The Liberal Arts building is now the Thomas F. Levan Center. It is named for the Vincentfan priest who served as DePaul president from 1920-1930. 6) Science Hall East was renamed in honor of the Very Reverend Michael J. O'Connell, Univeristy President from 1935 to 1944. 7) The Administration building, its name carved on its stone outside, yet a misnomer for many years, has now been designated as the Lyceum. 8) The Academy Building, formerly a Vincentian High School for boys, now bears the name of the first president of DePaul the Very Reverend Peter Vincent Byrne, C.M. By Douglas Dohrn Associate Editor Fall Quarter, registration for incoming freshmen was handled administratively in two different manners downtown in Commerce and uptown in DePaul College. DePaul College found it necessary, in some cases, to provide freshmen with set programs for registration, while Commerce freshmen were allowed freedom in class selection and program scheduling. Albert E. Galowitch, Administrative Assistant to the Dean of DePaul College, handled Freshman registration on the Lincoln Park Campus (LPC). He said, "We registered 430. The last hundred didn't have a complete choice because of class crosings." Further investigation involved asking hundreds of members of the Freshman class whether they were allowed io choose their own class schedule or whether it had been done in advance for them by DePaul College. The results from this investigation showed that 171 of 270 didn't have a choice. The procedures followed by DePaul College for registering freshmen were explained by Galowitch in the following manner: "They [incoming L. coo rULLXRTOM see back page September 24, 1976 LC Allows Choice LPC Offers Little freshmen] would call in, the secretaries would schedule them based upon their majors. We tried to group by majors. We put together a sample program for courses that would fit their majors or some other criteria." He continued, "We gave it to them [a set program of courses], we showed it to them. If they liked it, fine. If they didn't like it, it required modification. For the most part there were no modifications because the students aren't used to selecting their own courses." DePaul College had the assistance of seven people for registration which went on from about the middle of June until the end of July. There were about twenty freshmen present for the twice-daily sessions. When asked if he thought there would be any problems arising from the students not having had the experience of registering initially since they would be on their own for Winter Quarter registration, he said, "After we explained the schedule to them in detail, we showed them how it was done [the registration procedure], so they should be adequately prepared to do it for the Winter [Quarter]. I don't have a-fear about that. Turn to page 7 I !rrn BEILDEN lirmTTrrn WEBSTER
