DePaulia (DePaul University, Chicago, IL), 1930-04-10

              BOOST THE ALL-DE PAUL LAKE SHORE CLUB WILL BE SCENE OF POST-LENTEN SOCIAL FUNCTION Maitland, Waters to Furnish Music For Hop "Let Us Be Gay" is the advice given to All De Paulians for that is what will feature the All De Paul Dance. It is truly the gayest social affair of the year not only because it includes every class and group but also because it takes place at one of the gayest seasons of the year— spring—when all agree that the "Spell of love is everywhere." Time Is Near Enough of the poetic—to get down to facts—the All De Paul Dance is only a few weeks away and all are urged to get their bids early for the demand is very great. The scene of the affair is the beautiful and exclusive Lake Shore Athletic Club, which was the scene of that successful affair last year. Added to this is the great attraction of two of Chicago's most well known orchestras. Johnny Maitland and his renowned radio outfit will alternate with one of De Paul's own geniuses of musical talent—Phil Walters, a member of De Paul Law, who has made good in the world of syncopation and especially in parts in and around our great city. With two such popular orchestras the music of the evening promises to be a feature of the All De Paul affair. The date—ATi!—the all important rSi?lP r"l prpyi^iclv- apprmnrpd —the most opportune date of the Spring season, Saturday, April 26, the first Saturday after Easter. These features all go to make the All De Paul Dance of 1930 the fifth great success of its kind. The idea of an All De Paul was initiated five years ago at our great University and has in every case proved one of the biggest successes of the social year. A Social Triumph And the success of this year's affair will go to one who made a previous All De Paul Dance a great social triumph—and he is none other than the popular Arts Soph, Bud Nichol, who was chairman of the All De Paul Dance last year. Bud has made every effort to make this year's dance the greatest of all De Paul's dances. Assisting him, these very enterprising students comprise the All De Paul dance committee: Luke Brennan, Paul Strohl, Irene Gregori. Andy Swierski. Joe Casey, and George Kingland, capable and energetic delegates of the S. A. C., who gave evidence of putting over social affairs with a bang. More power to you and don't forget folks to get your admission ticket soon for it may be too late. For bids at $2.50 see any of the committee or S. A. C. members.EDISON, SENIOR LAW, GETS FRAT HONORARY KEY At the weekly meeting of the Law School faculty last Thursday, B. Hamilton Edison, senior law, was elected as the man entitled to the Honor Key given annually by the Epsilon Delta Alpha Legal Fraternity (now Lambda Gamma Phi). Members of the faculty frankly confess that there were so many students eligible and qualified for this award that the task of choosing an outstanding candidate was rather difficult. However, Mr. Edison seems to just have the edge over the rest. Edison has been very prominent in the Law School, both socially and scholastically. He is president of the Senior Class, a member of Pi Gamma Mu Honorary Fraternity, Chairman of the Senior Ball Committee, and during his stay at De Paul engaged in many extra-curricular activities. The Epsilon Delta Alpha Honor Award is a prize given annually to that member of the Junior Class ranking highest in "scholarship, leadership, and promise of future usefulness." It was first presented in 1927 to Mr. Riley, and in 1928 to Mr. Sidney, Mr. Edison being the third recipient of the coveted key. Though Epsilon Delta Alpha is officially no longer in existence, its successor, Lambda Gamma Phi, intends to continue the presentation of this award in an effort to stimulate and reward the above mentioned qualities.Vol. 9, No. 23 De Paul Lite Also Edits Co~Ed Paper De Paul was treated to two co-ed editions of publications last week— The "De Paul Lite" the bi-monthly paper of the Loop Evening High School was edited by Mary Patricia Hogan and her staff. The paper, while not as widely circulated as the De Paulia, was quite well edited and interesting. This feature edition was the sixth number of the paper. The paper has James A. Bourke as Editor-in-Chief and is filling the need for a Loop High School publication. OMNIPRESENT—He is reception committee who greets tardy arrivals. Many Plans to Help Student Council Is Discussed at Meet Fourteen Former De Paulites on Primary Ballots Candidates All Running For Associate Judge It seems as if no activity in the city is complete without the participation in it of some De Paulites. We have an excellent indication of this in the part taken by De Paul alumni in the recent primary elections. Statistics show that in the race for associate judge of the municipal court no less than fourteen candidates have at one time attended De Paul University. The political affiliations of these fourteen former De Paulites are evenly divided, seven being Republicans, and seven, Democrats. It certainly speaks well for the school to have so many of its sons represented on the judicial ticket. Those who ran for the coveted judgeships are: James Clancy, who was graduated in 1897, when the Law School was still known as the Illinois College of Law Leon Edelman, who received his LL.B. in 1909, and who, incidentally, was assistant Corporation Counsel, and also attorney for the Sanitary District Joseph Graber, '06, who was special attorney for Cook County in 1912 Stanley Gross, who passed the bar in 1925 Alberto Gualano, who received both the LL.B. and L.M. from the Illinois College of Law, and was Associate Judge of the Municipal Court in 1922 Thomas Green, admitted to the bar in 1914, and former State's Attorney and Corporation Counsel: Max Luster, of the class of 1903, and judge of the Municipal Court from 1924 to 1930 Joseph McCarthy, who received his LL.B. and LL.M., from De Paul, was assistant State's Attorney from 1920 to 1924, and judge of the Municipal Court from 1924 to 1930 Walter Prendergast, '23 George Quilici, admitted to the bar in 1920 Jay Schiller, who received his LL.B. in 1921, was attorney for the Sanitary District, and was also Assistant Corporation Counsel under Francis X. Busch James Burke, class of 1911, who was assistant Corporation Counsel 1911 to 1914, an Assistant State's Attorney from 1919 to 1922 Harold P. O'Connel, '17 and Edgar Elder, who possesses both an LL.B. and LL.M., and has been assistant State's Attornev since April. 1929. Election of Officers For Next Year to Take Place Soon At its regular monthly meeting, held on last Monday night, the Student Activity Council made final arrangements for the All-DePaul dance and cleared up several other matters that' had been hanging fire for a few weeks. Owing to the recent incle ment weather work of the council had been at a standstill, but at the present date everything is satisfactorily cleared up. Class Deficits Discussed Among the more important items discussed at the meeting were the policy of the council on class dances and the arrangements for the May party. As regards class dances it was determined that no limit would be set on deficits or expenses but that the previous custom of paying all ex penses and taking all profits. The May party will be held on May 1 other arrangements are in abeyance. Three suggestions were proffered by President Westermeyer. The first was that pins be given to members of the council. The suggestion was discussed and held over for further consideration. Next Westermeyer proposed that in the future, particularly next year, meetings be held oftener to stimulate interest in the council and produce more concrete results. Lastly he suggested that the position of S. A. C. representative be moved up on the class ballots from last to second. This, he stated, would tend to make the office more important ?ii the""eyes of the" sludents and would develop prestige in the election of a member. These three proposals were given with the object in mind to improve the calibre and influence of the council and were instigated by Westermeyer as part of a general plan of reorganization and betterment. The election of next year's S. A. C. president will be held at a special meeting to be called some time before the All-De Paul dance. Candidates to this office must be juniors who are members of the council. They are: Joe Westermeyer, Day Law Luke Brennan, Day Commerce Edward Brady, Night Law June Potter, Arts and George Kingsland, Arts. How Pictures Taken Under miscellaneous news comes the details of the All-De Paul dance. The pluggers have been passed out and the tickets have been distributed to all departments. The two orchestras will furnish students with plenty of syncopation. All members of S. A. C. who have not appeared at Doose's studio, 2308 Lincoln, are asked to pose for pictures on or before tomorrow at 6 p. m. Professor Taft on Vacation in East Harry F. Taft is enjoying a brief respite from his arduous duties as Assistant Dean and Professor in the Law Department. Prof. Taft left Friday for a brief sojourn in Springfield, Mass., where he is attending the celebration of a golden wedding anniversary. The Assistant Dean will return to De Paul the early part of next week. Little Man, Nevertheless Discipline Is Observed Dean Gaffney One Time Head of Academy Popular at College A little bit goes a long way. That's the slogan as far as the Arts School is concerned. Father Gaffney may be a little bit of a dean but he certainly goes a long ways towards enforcing discipline at the Uptown school. Dean Gaffney, capable successor to the ever popular Father Duggan, is one of the most prominent members of the faculty. Before assuming the position of dean he was principal of De Paul Academy, and later, professor of history in the college. Students are unanimous in agreeing that their dean is a good sport and square shooter. Except on a certain few occasions—such as at 9:20 each morning on the first floor—he is noted for having the best disposition and broadest grin on the campus. THE DE PAULIA HE-HUN EDITION WILL APPEAR HATE Fifth Annual All De Paul Dance April 26th DISTINCTIVE BIDS FOR SENIOR BALL CAN NOW BE HAD LIMITEDNUMBER Exclusive Dance Will Be Best This Year At Blackstone The Senior Ball committee this week announces that they have the bids on hand ready for sale. The tickets are worth five dollars apiece and will be sold for cash only! The bids are distinctive, beautiful, and well-fitted to a wonderful formal affair. They are engraved on small white folders with the seal of the university raised in gold on the flap. B. Hamilton Edison and Charles Robson are in charge of tickets in the Day Law. Harold Fehrman in the Night Law and Paul Arvia, Mary Hanrahan, and Andy Severski. At the Uptown School all the class officers will take charge of distribution. They are Joe Pope, Kay Wilson, Bob Kirschten, and Gertrude Yore. Seniors to Decide Seniors are urged to either buy their bids as soon as possible before they are all gone, or else notify those in charge that they do not intend to use them so that they may be sold to someone else. The early deadline set for seniors to obtain their bids for the Senior Ball has drawn objections from a number of the members of the class, but no change has been made in the original plan. The committee has set the date for seniors to buy their bids for May 7 as a protection against any possible financial deficiency. This announcement was made long enough ahead of time for all seniors who are tnfeTesTed "to 'beJ'preparetf-ro"traY, and the period elapsing between the deadline and the ball itself is only a reasonable time to allow all the regular De Paul supporters to obtain the left over bids and get their dates. This provision insures the financial success of the ball. According to present indications, however, there will be few, if any at all, left. Foremost Formal Affair The Senior Ball, which is to be held May 16, in the Grand Ballroom of the Blackstone Hotel, is the foremost on the year's calendar of formal affairs, and the plans of the committee assure the utmost in perfection of detail as is fitting to the dignity and importance of the event. It is the custom at many universities to have a closed Senior Ball, and on numerous occasions in the past the seniors have requested that De Paul follow this custom. In previous years it has not seemed practicable, but this year's committee has decided on a plan which will leave the matter entirely up to the Seniors themselves. Despite the fact that the undergraduates are clamoring for bids, the outcome remains to be seen. The announcement that the respective wings are to be led by Paul Arvia and Joe Pope was met with great enthusiasm both Uptown and Downtown. The names of their partners have not yet been made known, but it is expected that they will be in an ensuing issue of the paper. Features Are Planned It is expected that the selection of the orchestra and any other plans which have not as yet been completed, will be concluded soon. Seniors are advised to buy bids early in order to prevent any last minute failure to obtain admission to the greatest social affair in a collegian's obtain admission to the greatest social affair in a collegian's life, his own Senior Ball. A committee meeting is to be held tomorrow afternoon at which the matter of orchestra and favors will be definitely settled. De Paul Chess Team Beats Loyola's Group The De Paul Law School chess team was a victor in an unofficial meeting with Loyola Law School chess team last Saturday, in the men's club room of De Paul. F. L. Hurd, Freshman L. L. Syrus, Junior, and S. A. Lesmieski, Senior, represented De Paul. Ed Bremner, T. Byrne and A. Kelly represented Loyola. ATTENTION! On account of the Easter vacation there will be no issue of the DePaulia next week. The next number will appear on Friday, April 25th. Deadline for news articles will be the day that school resumes—Tuesday, April 22. Features and editorials must be in before the holidays. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS April 10, 1930 Author In Town May 5 As a final touch to the whole affair Lenno Robinson, author of The Whitcheaded Boy will be in town on Monday night, May 5th and will attend the play as a compliment to the De Paul players. Mr. Robinson is well known among playwrights and has written several successful plays. Rehearsals are progressing famously every Thursday and Sunday. Bud Nichols and his Irish brogue arc serving to amuse even the other players, while Gene Sugrue, Tom Donovan, Art Kreutzer, Lucille Tonnroth. Betty O'Meara, M«arienne Doolev, Margaret Fleming and all the rest are quickly becoming experts in the field of characterization. All outsiders who have so far been lucky enough to watch the cast in action Bill Hannon, Former De Paulite, to Wed Rumor reached The De Paulia office this week that Bill Hannon, formerly a popular De Paul student, is to be married on Easter Saturday afternoon. The bride to be is the petite Miss Marie Flora. Bill, while at De Paul, was a member of the basketball squad and Phi Kappa Alpha fraternity. He received his Ph.B. degree a year ago last February. De Paul extends hearty congratulations.Last week's De Paulia only served to bring more strongly to our minds Miss Ring, dean of women, whose interesting interview was one of the real features of the week. Since her arrival at De Paul in the fall of 1926 Miss Ring has entered enthusiastically into the scholastic and social life of not only the Arts School, but of the whole university. She has acted as an indispensable friend and adviser to all the coeds. Two years ago she succeeded Father Foulkes as head of the Latin department and since then has been putting Horace and Livy in large quantities into the brains of all A. B. students. In the opinion of her classes she is without a doubt one of the best Latin teachers in the country. Cooney Is Director of Dramatic Club's Production May 5 Tickets Now On Sale At Both Schools Author to Attend In exactly three weeks and four days The IVhitehcaded Boy will be presented to a packed house at the Goodman Theater, Grant Park just off Michigan Boulevard and Monroe Street. To date the cast has shown remarkable progress and at its last rehearsal showed promise of an unqualified success. In another week the three acts will have been perfected and the remainder of the period will be spent in "polishing off" the rough edges. Cooney to Direct Play The first of the three important announcements this week is that Mr. Maurice Cooney, who has directed De Paul plays in previous years and who is connected with the Hull House Players, will direct the coming production. Mr. Cooney is popular in Chicago play circles as a director and an enthusiast of amateur dramatics. Last year's play, A Princc There Was, will be remembered for its smooth finish Mr. Cooney emphasizes this element as a vital item in any production and De Paul has no reason to expect other than the same with The Whitcheaded Boy. The second announcement is that tickets are on sale starting today. On the north side, and in the commerce and law schools in the loop, students will be appointed to handle the ticket distributions and take applications for patrons. The committee on tickets will be announced in the next issue of tJif Do Paulia. Tl^g patrMi list is expected to grow to one hundred before May 5th. Father Powers is having patron invitations made up to send the parents of students and other friends of the school. The invitations will be sent out within a week, and it is expected that the response will be instantaneous.

To the audience the speakers presented themselves as the most outstanding Orators of De Paul, thus assuring that De Paul will have one of the best men out in the field at the Zone Meeting, which is going to be held at Northwestern University on April 28. The judges favored the decisions to the winners, Carl Karlind, Edward M. Koza, and Joseph Sosnik, who will meet in the finals which are going to be held today, Thursday, April 9, at 8 o'cock sharp. It was noted by the judges that because all the speeches were of such excellent material in matter and in form, it was hard to pick the three finalists. Two of the finalists, Carl Karlind and Joseph Sosnik, are Downtown men wliije Edward K07A. hails. from the Uptown College. So, Thursday is the big Night and all the students are being invited to swell the audience. Particularly so, is the invitation extended to members of Public Speaking Classes, and bring your friends.

Greek Council Will Hold Meeting Monday There will be a meeting of the Intersorority Council on Monday, April 14th in the Downtown School. A regular business meeting will be held, the most important discussion will be the financial report of the Intersorority Tea. Miss Ring, Dean of Women, Is Good Friend of Coeds Came to De Paul Four Years Ago Became Popular Quickly ADVISER—Every day during the school year Miss Ring solves many coeds' problems. BOOST THE ALL-DE PAUL PHIL RETTIG, AL JANTORNI, GENE SUGRUE TO RUN FEATURE ISSUE Editors to Pick Helpers Shortly, Kirschten Edits Spillway The great interest aroused throughout the school last week by the Co-ed Edition, made advisable the immediate announcement of its rival—the He-Man number. This disclosure— although rather early—seems timely this week. The feature is to appear Thursday, May 15, the week of the Senior Ball. Three Good Men The three old stand-bys of the De Paulia get the honors this year. Gene Sugrue and Phil Rettig are CoEditors, with A1 Jantorni as business manager. These three hardworking sophomores have done more than their share towards putting out the weekly De Paulia. Gene and Al, officially on the Downtown Staff, do most of the rewrite work and practically all the headline writing for the paper. Every Monday and Tuesday evening after class they travel northward to Osgood Street, and burn the midnight oil over the usual boresome routine work connected with the weekly journal. Both are very popular downtown where Al is the treasurer of the Sophomore Class, and Gene is S. A. C. representative. Phil Rettig is equally as well known Uptown, where besides acting as Sports Editor, he handles all the photography and sheet-proof reading for the De Paulia. He also is a member of the loyal night staff of the paper. He belongs to the Wranglers and Phi Kappa Alpha. All three were in line to be editor, but Al, being more or less interested in business ventures, offered to take over -ti'ic o£ -the /ctffulc^ issue. Other staff announcements have not yet been made public, although it is an understood fact that Bob Kirschten will have the best Spillway of the year that week. He-Man Annual Issue The annual He-Man number has always been one of the main attractions of the year. It first came into existence three years ago as a retort to the first co-ed edition. Jack Donahue and Jack Wright were editors. Last year's He-Man was one of the best De Paulias ever put out. It inaugurated the large size De Paulia, as used now, and was eight pages in size. To the editors Bob Kirschten and Frank Benedix went the honor of revolutionizing journalism at De Paul. It will take some paper this year to beat that one! Will Announce Plans The editors have made few plans as yet, but announce that they expect to have most arrangements made before Easter. For this reason they are issuing a call for volunteers immediately. The response ought to be unusually great this year, so many De Paulites have signified their intention to donate their services to outdo the co-ed edition. Volunteers for the business staff are also being solicited. S. A. C. SPONSORS MAY DAY PARTY AT AUDITORIUM Seniors, Juniors and Sophs, remember a party held in honor of the coming May, the month of blossoms and balmy weather. May 1st was the date last year and all De Paul turned out in an extravaganza of color and jollity to welcome in the last full month of school. This year the Freshman of September, 1929, will find out the real joy of a DePaul May party. Duplicating the event of last year in matters of detail the party will be held May 1st at the Auditorium. Admission as usual, 35c per person. This w'll be the second annual All-De Paul May party sponsored by the S. A. C. Tne committee in charge of the glorification of May days is Larry Dougherty, chairman, Bill Wilson, Paul Strohl, Geo. Kingsland, Luke Brennan, Irene Gregori, Madeline Hafner, Isabell McKinnon. The members of the committee, with the exception of two, have passed through the last May parties and have stored away in their spacious memories fond remembrances of all the features of last May and together with the suggestions and experiences gained throughout this past year promise to surpass even the greatest anticipation anyone may be entertaining. The small price of admission does not imply anything cheap but the price. Neither should
