NOVEL PLANS FOR POST-CONVENTION DANCE COMPLETED The arrangements for the PostConvention cabaret party sponsored by the Wrangler Activity Organization and the Women's Athletic Association, are well under way. The dance, which follows immediately upon the heels of the Mock Convention, will be held in the De Paul Auditorium Saturday, April 30. Due to the vociferous pleas of the student body it has been determined that this widely heralded event will be held on Saturday instead of the usual Tuesday or Thursday nights on which it has been the custom to hold gym dances. The orchestra, according to the Co-Chairmen Roy O'Connell and Tom Reynolds, will surpass in style and rhythm any musical organization previously heard at a gyn dance. However, they refuse to divulge the name of the band or the variety of the entertainment unti next week. The decorations planned for this event are sure to please even the most fastidious, and special lighting effects will add to the pleasant atmosphere. Those who attended the last Wrangler cabaret party will remember how successfully the aesthetic defects of the auditorium were disguised and .judge accordingly when the staten*ent is made the decorations decided upon will excel those of the former party in beauty. One of the greatest inducements offered at this affair will be the price of admission and cost of refreshments. Bids are going for one dollar per couple. Sandwiches, cakes, and soft drinks will be served at depression rates. President To Act As Essay Contest Judge Doctor Corcoran has accepted an invitation from the Chicago Herald and Examiner to act as one of the judges in the Hearst papers' George Washington Bi-Centennial Essay Contest. Associated with Father Corcoran as judges are W. •J. Bogan, Superintendent of Publie Schools, and Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern University. DE PAULIA DE PAUL UNIVERSITY, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MEET BEGINS WEDNESDAY CONVENTION LEADERS COMMERCE DEBATERS PRIME FOR SECOND RADIO APPEARANCE The second of the series of four debates sponsored by De Paul University will take place Saturday afternoon, April 23, 1932, at 2:55 p. m., over radio station WLS. The team opposing De Paul is composed of two men prominent in the field of debating at Indiana University. They are Samuel Keller, a senior, and William H. Andrews, Jr., a junior in the Commerce Dept. Both have had an abundance of debating experience and promise a good fight. The debaters to represent De Paul are Mr. Nuntio Giambalvo who will give the constructive speech of seven minutes in length and Miss Josephine Verhelle who will give the rebuttal of five minutes in length. Both Mr. Giambolvo and Miss Verhelle have demonstrated their capabilities in debating by defeating with the aid of Mr. Brewer the Loyola debating team at the Merchandise Mart. Miss Verhelle has speaking qualities that demand high praise. The subject to be debated is: Resolved, that the Independent food retailer should adopt a strict cash policy of trade. De Paul will uphold the affirmative and Indiana the negative. The decision will rest with the radio audience, who will be requested by the announcer to forward their votes to WLS or to De Paul University direct. Father Talbot approves of the material and delivery while station arrangements and preliminaries are handled by Mr. R. Graham. The debate of last week between De Paul University and Kent College of Law, the first radio debate in De Paul's history, was carried out without any difficulties. Despite their inexperience over the air both Mr. Graham and Mr. Coton overcame any evidence of nervousness. Both should be complimented for their material and delivery.The votes to decide this debate are gradually coming into the station and a decision will be given Thursday. Letters regarding this debate can be addressed to the station, the team in general or to individual speakers. On April 30, 1932, De Paul will debate St. Viator College and on May 7 with Illinois Wesleyan. Ball to Make History Say Co-Chairmen LATE NEWS BULLETIN Miss Genevieve Dwyer will be the guest of Bud Nichol, Liberal Arts President, and Miss Ora Patterson will be the guest of A1 Jantorni, Commerce President, at the Senior Ball. The Senior Ball is to be held May 14th, Saturday, at the Opera Club, Walton Place. The Senior Ball is a thrilling climax of four years of college activities. Since freshman days it has been an alluring, far-off dream, one of those enviable privileges that only a Senior can know. It is a thought that the student, in the way of social events, cherishes from the day he matriculates at the University. The Opera Club has the distinction of being one of the most elaborately furnished clubs in the city. The entire club is to be at the disposal of the promenaders, and it is moVt unique. The club in itself with its quaint Spanish atmosphere will be a scene of unlimited merriment as trim young couples, attired in the impressive formal of the occasion, glide over the smooth dancing floor. The music will be furnished by the greatest band of any. The name of the band will be announced the evening of the Ball. The nature of the favors is secret, but tjhe eommittee promfises that all girls will be delighted with their new possessions. The favor will combine usefulness and beauty. The committee, Chairman Nichol, Co-Chariman A1 Jantorni, A1 Morse, Paul Strohl, Marge Beatty, Marcella Allely, Kay Brugge, Dick O'Connor, Tom Reynolds, Irv Emmer, and Sam Baskin have been working hard to make the Ball the greatest in De Paul's history. Feature Papers Praised By Doctor Corcoran In sending special greetings to the editors and readers of the "He-Man" number of De Paulia, I am a bit perplexed about the form such a greeting should take. a listic interest is no doubt intensified by the publication of spea 1 issues and I air glad to comme that worthy purpose. Healty rivalry between men and women students is a desirable trait in a studentbody, and it is gratifying to see an effort to equal or surpass the accomplishments of the editors of the recent Co-ed Edition. De Paul stands for the highest possible development of human personality among men or women, it wants womanly women and manly men and I extend this word of greeting and encouragement to the sponsors of the present number of our Campus paper in the firm conviction that their concept of the he-man denotes a virility that is of true gentleuanliness all compact. —Very Rev. Francis V. Dr. Corcoran Corcoran, C.M. HE-MAN ISSUE Thursday, April 21, 1932 FINAL TRYOOTS FOR SPEAKERS HELD TONIGHT Committee ChairmenNamed Interest Grows as Opening Nears Tonight tJhe final speakers will be selected for the Model Demoratic National Convention, which is to be held next Weduesday, Thursday and Friday nights. ,Those wishing to speak are requested to meet in room 1401 in the Downtown Building at 7:30 p. m. Tryouts for speakers have been held at the last two convention meetings, and the Judges have thirty students in mind at this time any one wishing to speak is earnestly requested to be present, so that any student who has the ability to speak before an audience may be given a trial before the Judges reveal the names of the speakers. Robert M. Woods, Junior in the College of Commerce, has been selected as chairman of the National Committee. Lawrence O'Connor, of the Law School, is to be permanent chairman. The convention will be called to order by Mr. Woods, who will act in the capacity of temporary chairman. It is planned to follow as closely as possible the regular procedure used in the major conventions. The convention will adopt the rules of the previous convention, which require a two-thirds vote of those present for nomination, and that all speakers be recognized by the chair. The planks in the platform have been adopted not only for their interest to the public at large and to the Democrats in particular, but also because it is felt they will express the students' opinions. Mr. Charles O'Donnell, teacher of Political Science in the Downtown school, believes that this convention will not only be a practical lesson in Political Science, but will tend to impress students with their civic duty and a consciousness of the major issues in our present-day political life. Incidentally, it will be an interesting study) of what kind of men college students admire and what issues they think of the greatest importance. The following students have been selected as chairmen of the various committees. They are: Decorations, Roy O'Connell Presidential Nominees, Arts, John Griffin Commerce, Robert Drevs, afternoon Jeroutek, morning Law, Paul Strohl Prelaw, John Sheehan Permanent Organization, Mary McSloy The platform, Arts, Robt. Maioney Commerce, Lezza Rules, Margaret Kenny Delegates, Ted Tillers Publicity and Invitations, David J. Carroll, Jr. It is felt that every major candidate who will be nominated in the major convention is to be represented by some faction in De Paul. Perhaps it is significant that in the recent straw vote taken throughout the school on April 14-15 three hundred and twelve votes were cast for Former Governor Alfred E. Smith his closest rival was Governor Alfred C. Ritchie of Maryland, who received two hundred and fifty-one votes Franklin D. Roosevelt was given one hundred and one votes James Hamilton Lewis was fifth choice with fifty-four votes John Garner received forty-tvyo votes William Murray was last with twenty-eight votes.
