By Steve Gorecki Free Day Moved to October 5 Due to the upcoming Chicago visit of Pope John Paul II, the President's office released an announcement this week stating the changing of the holiday observance of St. Vincent DePaul Day from Monday, October 8 to Friday, October 5. The university's action will allow for the DePaul holiday to directly coincide with the expected October 4, 5, and 6th dates scheduled for the Pope's visit, and will eliminate any unnecessary disruptions of the appointed number of class days scheduled for the fall quarter. According to the Very Rev. John R. Cortelyou, C.M., the decision was made by the academic calendar committee and was totally supported by the administration. The President said, "The decision to hold classes on Monday and move the holiday up to the day of the Pope's scheduled visit was done because it was felt that we could not afford to lose another class day on Friday resulting from the expected great interest and probable transportation I problems stemming from the Pope's visit, and then not have class again on Monday in the traditional observance of St. Vincent DePaul Day. "Therefore, to enable the comDlete satisfaction of all persons interested in witnessing the Pope's visit, to minimize the difficulties probable in obtaining reliable transportation to and from classes on Friday, and to eliminate the need for losing another class day as a result, the holiday observance change was a necessary decision."According to the announcement from the President's office, then, the importance of the change will be to allow for a simultaneous observation of St. Vincent DePaul Day and will enable anyone interested in seeing the Pope to do so without missing any additional class time in regards to the Monday, Wednesday, Friday sequence of the class schedule. In addition to eliminating any possible disruptions in class schedules, the change will also enable all interested students CTA passes will eoon become svsllsble to all students, faculty, and staff of DePaul University. These passes will entitle passengers to unllmltsd rides for an entire month. Pssses can be purchased at either campus through the Cashier's Office.

"Hopefully, it will pick up with the students," said Jones. Three hundred passes will be ordered for the university, 150 for the uptown campus and 150 for the downtown campus. These passes will be sold on a "first come, first serve" bases. Passes will be sold on the last Tuesday and Wednesday See Sports Transit Passes Available Soon of each month to go into effect for the following month. The passes being sold the 25th and 26th of September will go into effect for October. According to Jones, "if you miss getting one this time, you'll have to wait until the last Tuesday and Wednesday of October to get a pass for November." Selling CTA passes will be worked on an experimental basis until December. According to Jones, more passes can be ordered next month if the demand is there. On the other hand, if few people want them, the order can be reduced. If by December passes are so unpopular, the university will not order more for the next quarter. "We're hoping for a good response," stated Jones, and the cashier's office will continue to handle it as long as it "does not cause problems." DePaul's law school handled the selling of their own CTA passes last school year, but might drop their program to let the cashier's office handle it for the whole University. If a student, faculty or staff member wishes to pay the $25 by check, some form of I.D. will be necessary. No identification is needed when paying in cash. Also, no CTA passes will be held, as they may prove to be in great demand.
