(Continued on page 4) Nursery Aids Plan Benefit Card Party At a meeting of the De Paul "Aids" held on Monday evening, September 23, plans were formulated for a card part}' to be given Oct. 26 at the I. W. A. C. The money obtained from this will be used to defray the expense of the Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving and Christmas parties of the De Paul Day Nursery. The officers of the organization for the coming year are: Catherine Hynes, president Anne Klapperich, v'l&^reSKient Marion Johnson, treasurer Marie McCormick, secretary Jane Bremner, historian, and Kay'Coyle, publicity agent. A group of enthusiastic co-eds volunteering for social service work brought about the organization of the De Paul Settlement Junior Aids. It is a work worthy of attention and one which has been highly approved by the President. The De Paul Day Nursery is located at 2145 N. Halsted Street. The aim of the organization is to aid the children in what ever way possible and to bring a little happiness into their lives. A picnic and several parties were given last year by the "Aids." The children were also taken to the circus. There is, a field for every particular phase of work in which a girl is interested gymnastics, sewing, kindergarten work, story hour, visiting homes or other interests that might have a greater appeal. The students and faculty of DePaul University wish to extend their sympathy to Bill Bedard of the Sophomore Arts Class on the recent death of his mother. New Orchestra To Play For De Paulia Hop By ISABEL MacKINNON Tune in everybody! Get a load of this. The De Paulia Dance is only one week off. It is to be held on Friday, October 18. in the Oriental Room of the Knickerbocker Hotel. According to earlier announcements Gein Fosdick's Orchestra was to furnis the music for the dance, but th. ugh the courtesy of the M. C. A. the committee has been able to contract for the services of a more widely known orchestra. Sleepy Hall, who becamc very popular during the summer playing at the College Inn of the Hotel Sherman, is to play for All De Paul at the newspaper dance. First Dance Schedule It is a custom, amounting almost to an unwritten law, that the first dance of the year be a big success. Everybody is enthusiastic about the first social get-together. Heretofore, either the Football Homecoming or the Freshman class has been responsible for introducing the student body to the year's social activities, but last spring De Paulia applied for and obtained the firs* date on the Student Activities Midi's calendar for this year. The De Paulia Dance will draw a large crowd for more reasons than its date. The Oriental Room is' one of the most popular dance places in Chicago, and Sleepy Hall has attracted a large following of his own since his stay at College Inn. All De Paul Affair Close your eyes and imagine an All De Paul crowd swaying to inimitably "sweet" ay' '"hot" music in the pleasant, .mirably decorated surrounding? of the Oriental Room. It is the first informal social gettogether since the overwhelmingly successful All De Paul Dance held at the Lake Shore Athletic Club last April. It should surpass even that. Hurry, De Paul! Buy your tickets today for the Third Annual De Paulia Dance. The Oriental Room is just the right size for a University crowd and the tickets are limited. I he Loop School has used up practically all of its share, and the Uptown had better follow suit "plenty soon" or the tickets will all be downtown. I he dance is on. Come one come all! The committee in charge, headed by Sophie Thomas, held an important meeting yesterday, in which it completed last minute plans for a concentrated drive on the distribution and sale of tickets. From all indications a complete sell-out is predicted. More than fifty students are actively interested in the undertaking. At the downtown school Joseph Westermeyer is handling the situation in a remarkable fashion, while Suds Thomas directs the campaign on the uptown campus. A shortage of bids seems to be feared. The added cooperation of Father Coupal, head of the alumni, has greatly increased the enthusiasm over the affair. Many familiar faces of former De Paulites have already given their assurance of being on hand for the occasion. Choose Alumni Directing Board The De Paul Alumni Association met Wednesday at a luncheon in Marshall Field's Grill. The primary purpose of the meeting was to elect a Board of Directors which will take charge of all alumni activities and relieve, somewhat, the load now being borne by the president and his staff. It also afforded an opportunity for new members to become acquainted with other members and the problems of the association. Names of members of the new board will be published next week. Officers of the association are: Henry Phoenix, president Tom Cunningham, Liberal Arts vicepresident William Meade, Commerce vice-president Joseph Mclnerney, Law School vice-president George Dramis, Evening Law vice-president Justin McCarthy, secretary Walter Madigan, treasurer and Father Frederick Coupal, moderator. Place Cyclone Fence 'Round Uptown Yard One of the Uptown school's most considerable improvements was carried out recently when workmen installed a steel "cyclone" fence across the back yard of the Osgood Street property. EUGENE SUGRUE CHOSEN COMMERCE FORUM PRESIDENT The first meeting of the Forum, downtown commerce club, was held on Wednesday, September 25, at the downtown school. Informal session took place and a committee on previous membership was appointed. According to officers and members the Forum promises ai broader and more interesting program than has ever been carried out before. Following elections at the end of the 1928 term, at which Eugene Sugrue was elected president Margaret Alexander, vice-president Dean Cornell, secretary, and Albert Jantorni, treasurer, a new draft of the constitution was made to conform with the growth of the club, and arrangements were made to present motion pictures in the near future. In addition to talks by professors of the school, the Forum will sponsor the appearance of several speakers of note from outside the school at several of its weekly meetings. The club will conduct a discussion or symposium type of session, another unique feature. New students will have their last chance to enroll at the next meeting on Wednesday, October 16, at which Professor McDermott, a new member of the faculty, will head the discussion with a talk on the mar keting of rubber products. From now on the meetings will be held on Wednesdays the club will alternate on noon hour and afternoon sessions. Sylvesta Searles Wins Losty Trophy Dr. Losty, dean of the commerce school, has announced the awarding of the Edward A. Losty Trophy to Sylvesta Searles, class of 1929. This trophy is awarded each year to the graduating commerce senior who has rendered the most valuable service to the commerce school during his school career. Miss Searles also received the gold medal donated each year by Mrs. Frances R. Jackson to the graduating woman student who ranks first or second in scholarship for the entire four years. The Delta Sigma Pi honorary key was awarded Alphonsus Lucas for having attained highest rank. In each of its forty-nine chapters the fraternity awards a gold key to that male student who has attained the highest scholarship throughout his entire school career. Lucas also received a full year's tuition in the graduate school for his scholarly attainments as a prize from the faculty of the commerce school. Downtown Fraternity Leases St. Clair Suite Nu Beta Epsilon Fraternity this week announced that it has leased a suite in the St. Clair Hotel as its permanent home.

De Paul Is Visited By Vincentian Head De Paul was honored last weekend by a visit from the provincial of the Vincentian Order, Father William Barr, who was on his way to New York. LOOP BUILDING GETS CLEANING FOR FALL TERM '1 lie carpenters, designers, painters ancl jacks-of-all-trades have been busy this summer refinishing and decorating the De Paul downtown building. The top-most floors of the building have been nearly ail repainted. The walls are two-toned a soft rich cream with a darker brown at the base. A good many new pictures have been added to the all-ready popular collections. Selections of original etchings are to be found on the fourteenth and fifteenth floors. These pictures are of particular interest to commerce and law students and, all are relative to the history of the professions. Other popular prints of important subject matter are to be found in both libraries. The twelfth floor has been completely reconstructed, under the able direction of Mr. Dun, principal of the Loop High School. The rooms have been attractively finished, with new comforts added. Both clubrooms have been completely redecorated and equipped with comfortable furnishings that will afford rest and ease to all those, who for a short time, seek to evade the trials and efforts of student life. It is believed that if the enrollment continues to increase in size at the same rate as during the last year, it will be necessary to decorate and furnish several more rooms for student BY MARJORIE BURKE Since the De Paulia went to press last week, reports have reached "ye editors" that there are still further additions to the faculty of both Uptown and Downtown departments. A few words in their behalf are now in order. In the Downtown school the new teachers are Miss Sweiger and Mr. McDermott. At the Uptown school, Mr. Wallace is the newest faculty member. Miss Sweiger has taken up her work in the Secretarial school with early successes. She is a graduate of Iowa State University, where she secured her A.B. She is a teacher of great ability, and is well liked by De Paul downtown co-eds. Miss Sweiger is a graduate of the University of Iowa, where she received an A. B. degree in 1919. Needless to say, her recommendations were of the best her personality and her experience in the business world together with her close association with the culture and refinements of a private school fit well for her new position at De Paul. Mr. Wallace is the newest member of the faculty of the Uptown school. He has been a member of the faculty of De Paul University for some time and therefore needs no introduction to the students in the downtown de­ Morse Chosen Editor Of '30 De Paulian By GERTRUDE YORE The choice of editor for next year's annual has at last been disclosed by Father Powers, the faculty advisor of student publications. The year book will be under the able guidance of Alvan Morse, the sole survivor of last year's staff. Morse has been prominent in De Paul activities for many years, as he is an Alumnus of De Paul Academy. Last year he acted as business manager and was in a great measure responsible for the success of the year book. Al Morse has figured in every form of campus life. He was a member of the annual staff in his freshman year when the book was edited by George McGrath. Last year he was appointed business manager and worked with the talented "campus twins," Ed Burke and Ray Griffin. After being associated with such able men in the past, Al knows the editorial game from A to Z. New Editor is Athlete This year's editor is an athlete as he is a member of the football squad, and has been wearing the De Paul colors on the gridiron for the past two years. This is something of an innovation, for the editors of the past, although active in many fields, have never been actively engaged in athletics. Morse plays at tackle or guard and was instrumental in De Paul scoring on Detroit. It was he who made the hole through which the score was made. Staff Not Chosen Yet When consulted, Morse stated that he had not yet chosen his staff. The announcement will no doubt be made soon and work will begin at once. Each year drastic changes are made in the theme, style and make-up of the annual, and each year a better year book results. Great things are expected of the 1930 annual, and the usual cautious and teasing disclosures from are awaited eagerly. Seventh Annual This Year There have been six previous annuals, and each one portrays the growth of the school. Not only are the books enlarged to keep pace with the rapid development of De Paul scholastically, but each year novel features are introduced. Last year's book was compared very favorably, by impartial critics, with those of West Point and Madison, and other large universities. Law School Claims Editor Last year's editors were from the Liberal Arts School, but this year's editor is a freshman in the law school. This is not unprecedented for the editor of the preceding annual was a senior in law, the far-famed conductor of the Spillway, George McGrath by name. In '27, the co-editors were Rosemary Hayes and "Sis" Wendt, both of the Liberal Arts School. Mr. Morse also announced that he has already made many of his plans. Efforts will be made to have most of the photographic work completed within the next two or three months. In all probability temporary studios will be erected in the Arts and Loop Buildings in order that time will be saved in taking the pictures of the graduates. More complete plans will be announced after the staff is picked. More New Teachers Join Loop, Uptown Faculties partments where he has taught previously. Mr. Wallace is now in charge of the Journalism Department of the Uptown Liberal Arts College. This course, being introduced for the first time in the Uptown School has attracted a number of students in journalistic pursuit. Announcement was made a week or two ago of the appointment of Lawrence M. McDermott to the Commerce faculty. Mr. McDermott will teach marketing. Having secured his A.B. and A.M. from Cornell, he has since completed his majors, and is now a candidate for a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. At present he is e'^aged in writing a book on the "Marketing of Rubber Products." Mr. McDermott played baseball and was a member of the track team at Cornell. Since leaving the university he has had wide experience in the business and educational world. For seven years ,he was head of the commerce school at Akron University, Akron, Ohio he has been in the U. S. consular service, stationed at Straussburg, Germany he has made surveys for the consular service throughout Europe, and for four years he was a supervisor of schools in the Philippine Islands. Mr. McDermott spent last summer in Akron, where he made surveys of the rubber industry for his forthcoming book. Get Your Bids Now For De Paulia Dance STUDENTS WILL CHEER DEMONS ON TO VICTORY S. A. C. Promotes Pep Fest and Dance in De Paul Auditorium By JUNE POTTER Ladies and gentlemen! Right this way for the first big event of the season. Tonight at 8:30 in De Paul Auditorium the S. A. C. holds its mammoth rally in honor of the football team.

Then comes the De Paulites' chance to let forth all the excess energy they have in store. For with the introduction of the cheer leaders there will be a rehearsal of the first three cheers. Kelly to Present Team Mr. J. D. Kelly, the Athletic Director, will present the Blue Demons of 1929. This will be De of the pigskin before they accurruT the scars of battle. The strains of the De Paul March, played by the De Paul University Band, will follow the football men off the stage, and that is the cue for all De Paulites to bellow forth praises of their Alma Mater.

Coupal, is next on the program, and then more cheers.

This is an All-De Paul affair, aj it is expected that all departmenj will co-operate by sending their ft quota to cheer for the team and enjoy themselves getting acquainted with the rest of the school. Prep for Fall Edition of De Paul Quart'ly The De Paul Literary Quarterly is looking forward to a year of added success. This publication was a medium of student expression some years ago, then dropped from sight only to be revived last year as the result of the tireless efforts of Margaret Neville. Because of her dauntless determination, the De Paul Quarterly again took its place in the university, and under her editorial regime, it was a publication to be proud of. Gertrude Yore is editor for the coming year. Frances Gazda, one of the chief contributors to last year's Quarterly and one of the ablest writers in the school, is to be an Associate Editor, and with her, Joe Pope, a prominent Senior who has been active on all the school publications. With two such capable students acting as associate editors the success of this year's Quarterly is assured. Quarterly Staff Organized A meeting was, held in the Loop Building on Wednesday evening to formulate plans for the coming year. All those interested in helping out on the Quarterly in any capacity were urged to attend. Again the editors sent out a plea for material short stories, essays, criticisms, and verse will be welcomed. The dead-line for contributions for the Fall Number has been set for October 15. All articles must be submitted before that date to insure publication in the Fall Quarterly.
