PUBLICATION SEMESTER'S ENO. TO HONOR CLASS Program for Magazine Will Be Before Board Monday With the advent of Freshman talent into the journalistic circles of De Paul come high hopes of attaining a degree of prominence for the Frosh in the literary field. Plans are now being laid by a group of literarilly inclined first year students for the publication of a magazine, the financing and composition of which will be entirely in the hands of Freshman. As yet faculty permission has not been granted for such an undertaking, but it is hoped that the venture will be regarded favorably. The magazine would be published some time before June and would serve as a miniature annual devoted exclusively to Freshman activities. The task of editing such a magazine is done with the hope of discovering, in the ranks of the Freshman, literary talent which might add renown to De Paul's already excellent reputation as an educational institution. The arrangement committee plans to offer prizes for the best articles submitted for publication as an incentive towards correctness of style and originality of thought. The accomplishments of the Freshmen in the classroom, in social affairs, and on the athletic field, here-to-fore overshadowed by the deeds of upper-classmen, will, through the medium of this magazine, come to be recognized and appreciated by the entire student body. A united group of energetic men and women, in whose midst are scholars and athletes, poets and artists, hopes to use this means of acquainting De Paul with the presence of the greatest Freshman class in its history. DEPAUL DEBATERS MEET CARROLL U. Visiting Debaters Win Out in Verbal Battle at Little Theatre "Cancellation of the Inter-allied W ar Debts'' was the subject of the debate, Monday night, March 6, when the De Paul debaters met the team from John Carroll university. The Little Theatre was filled with an enthusiastic audience. De Paul was upheld by James Boyle, Loraine McKenzie, and James O'Brien taking the negative side. Our team presented their arguments well, but their opponents proved to be better versed on the question. The Debating Society is scheduled to meet Rosary College, Lake Forest on March 21, in the Moot Court. MURDER CASE NEXT MOOT COURT TRIAL People vs. Lenhardt is the case scheduled for Moot Court sessions this week. Lenhardt has been indicted on three counts for the alleged murder of one Mr. Valaso. Prosecutors for the case are Messers. Heifer, Sugarman, and Hirschenbein. Defense counsel are Messrs. Bell, Lemmer, and McCarthy. The state opened its side of the case Tuesday night and should complete its case tomorrow night. Practice court sessions are held every Tuesday and Friday nights in the Moot Court room on the fifteenth floor of the downtown school. Judge Gutknecht presides and in his absence, Professor Buckley takes charge. Anybody may attend these sessions and may take part, either as a witness or as a jury member. Vol. 12—No. 18 1933 FROSH COURT PILOT Ray has continued to turn in brilliant performances as a member of the Freshman squad at De Paul. He possesses an unerring eye for the hoop, as is testified by the many points rung up by him in swelling the freshman total. An excellent floor man, he made possible by his fine passing many of the scores potted by his team-mates. Adams possesses plenty of speed and a very tricky dribble, which assets make him a constant threat on step-in shots under the basket. He is gifted with a disposition that is essential for a basketball star, remaining cool and unruffled in the thickest of the fight when the going is toughest. Ray's likeable nature, his easy-going temperment make him a popular choice for the honorary title accorded him. He is very popular with players and coaches alike. Although the Freshman had no regular leader during the past season, Adams was chosen acting captain during the majority of the games. He displayed that leadership and fight which made him the logical choice for the captaincy.The gridiron as well as the basketball court holds an attraction for Ray. At the beginning of the basketball season he laid aside his moleskins and donned basket-ball togs. Now at the conclusion of the cage season he once again slips into harness for spring football practice. His work in both sports had excited much favorable comment so much so that Coach Kelly picks him of all the freshman as most likely to succeed on the varsity. FRESHMEN Ray Adams Captaincy to Ray Adams After Brilliant Season Lead 1932 Prep Champions to Victory Liked by Players and Coaches At the conclusion of the past, successful basketball season, Coach Kelly has appointed Ray Adams, star freshman forward, honorary captain of the yearlings. Adams hails from St. Patrick High School, an institution in the loop district of Chicago where the boys" go through school with a textbook in one hand and a basketball in the other. Ray led the green clad "Shamrocks" of St. Patrick to the National Catholic Prep Championship in last year's Loyola tournament. As captain of the Irish quintet, Adams gained nation-wide prominence by his brilliant work on the hardwood both as a leader and as a player. According to a vote taken by the Freshman Sports Staff of the De Paulia, the following were chosen for honorary titles on the Freshman basketball team: Most dependable player—Ed. Hayes. Most Adams. valuable player Ray Most spectacular player Bob Simon. Player most likely to succeed on varsity—Ray Adams (Wally Diduch was a close second in this ballot). Honorable mention in each case was given to Bill Ascher, Joe Waseck, Red Holmes, Wally Diduch, and Jerry Crowley. Bob Simon, Joliet Star, Returns After Long Illness 1 hough the Frosh lost their game to the Academy heavies, they were chered by the fact that Bob Simon who came to De Paul from the De La Salle National Champions of Joliet, has returned from a recent illness.After registering this semester, he returned to Joliet with a severe case of scarlet fever, being quarantined for three weeks. He will not be able to engage in athletic competition for some time as a result of the severe strain on his heart caused by the fever. It is sincerely hoped, however, that he will be allowed to play next season and be given a chance to show his stuff. Spanish Club is Making Plans for Informal Dance As a result of the last Spanish Club meeting held February 23, an informal dance is being planned. It is to be held at the famous Steuben Club and the admission will be pleasing to all. As for the orchestra, President Gavin guarantees a popular one. The next meeting will be a social one and will be held March 9. Mr. Estrada, our worthy faculty advisor, urges all the respective members to attend for a good time will be had by all. Judge Gutknecht has been indisposed for the past two weeks. During his illness Professor Buckley has been conducting Moot Court and the Judge's classes. Fr. O'Connell Takes Over Duties During Absence The entire college is grieved to learn of the illness of the Reverend Father Francis Vincent Corcoran, C.M., Ph.D., S.T.D., President of De Paul University, who is confined at St. Joseph's Hospital. He was stricken with hernia while attending a performance of the "Ladies of the Jury" a play given by the Little Theater movement, at the De Paul Little theater, on Friday, February 24th. Father Corcoran became ill during the performance and left immeidately following the first act. He returned home.

The students of the Drama School, almost all of whom took part, have shown an active spirit of cooperation in the library's drive for books, according to Mr. Itkin, who said: "My students gave not only their time to the presentation of 'Ladies of the Jury' for the Book Drive but they brought many books themselves when I asked them for contributions." Miss Schnoor commented that "If we had more such cooperators as helped to make the affair a success, we would have no difficulty in achieving our goal." The dance following the show was also successful. Ray O'Connell's Serenaders furnished the music. The show and dance were the outgrowth of the library's drive to secure 30,000 new books for its shelves. The Book Drive has been rapidly taking form so that at present intensive efforts to get the needed volumes are being made. Early contributions were small but during the last few weeks several large donations have been presented, adding considerably to the stacks.

Such a combination is hard to beat. At the stroke of 12 a buffet supper was served. The grand march led by the respective Junior Class Presidents and their partners was then held and every girl present received a favor which was a gold bracelet, having the Junior Prom engraved on it. The party was formal and therefore proved to be very glamorous in as far as the feminine pulchritude were concerned. After the grand march ^dancing continued until two o'clock.
