M., and the Board of Trustees of De Paul University have approved a new policy and an extension of scholarship program of the Liberal Arts college. The new program is designed to benefit those students who have distinguished themselves in educational and extracurricular fields. Hereafter, scholarships awarded to matriculating Freshmen will be awarded on a competitive basis. A decidedly new feature is the granting of scholarships to the upperclassmen on the basis already stated. Upper Classmen Benefit Five scholarships will be granted to those entering the Sophomore class, three to those entering the Junior division, and one to the students eligible for Senior rating. Here are the rules to be followed: 1. To be eligible a student must rank within the first 20 per cent of the class in scholarship. 2. A student must have proven by achievement outside off the regular academic work that he or she excels in the spirit of leadership and cooperation with others. 3. A student must possess a proven character. 4. By May 1 the students who are eligible or think they are eligible will submit proof of achievement in extra-curricular activities. Pi-oofs must be certified to by the supervisors of the activities engaged in. 5. All scholarships will be awarded by the Dean in consultation with a faculty committee. The first three rules pertain to the qualifications necessary for scholarship consideration. The last two are added notes, making clear the procedure to be adopted by the students and the faculty in the gaining of awards. Amazon, Wrangler Organizations to Bold Joint Bop An Uptown and Loop combine of the Wranglers and Amazons, the first of its kind, will sponsor its initial dance of the year on April 20, in one of the prominent downtown hostelries. Easter Saturday it is hoped will be a banner date for the attendance of all students, particularly those who intend celebrating immediately after the Lenten season. The date has been approved by the S. A. C. at their last meeting. A popular seven piece orchestra has been engaged to play from 10 to 12. The dress of the evening will be optional, with bids selling for the moderate price of $1.50 per couple. The locations under consideration are the Bal Tabarin, Stevens Pent House, Congress, and Auditorium. Vince Filippini, Northside Wrangler prexy, Denny O'Connor, Loop president, and Inez McCollum, head of the Amazons, are the tri-chairmen of the affair. Bids will be on sale soon, and may be obtained from any member of the above mentioned organizations. The annual Wrangler "cabaret party" is traditional in De Paul's social whirl, but this year, with the combined efforts of three school spirited organizations, it. promises to be the outstanding post lenten dance.

The debaters have received a heartening encouragement to greater efforts in the interest evidenced by the large audiences which have followed the debating squad consistently through the season. Coeds Engage In Basketball Game Before Titan Tilt The coeds will again show their prowess in sports in a preliminary game Saturday night. The basketeers will play at 7:00, immediately preceding the De Paul-Detroit game Having stimulated an interest in women's basketball, Miss Meredith Cook, director of women's athletics, arranged two teams which were composed of the best women players, so that the "blues" and the "yellows" finally evolved as two evenly matched teams. This is the second game in which the coeds have participated. With their last attempt, the girls won great favor and have therefore been requested to make their second appearance. The last tilt resulted in a victory for the yellow. The members of the teams are as follows: Ann Cholod, Ruth Caffarello, Mary Lou Grogan, Doris Grogan, Marie Fugent, Alphonsina Tiberi, and Antoinette Wyle. Blues— Dorothy Smith, Valerie Zuercher, Loretta Trantina, Rogene McDonald, Mary Wilcox, Dorothy Mason, and Mary Fran Twohig. Since both teams are well prepared for the game after having practiced assiduously in anticipation of the encounter, another evenly matched and interesting game can be assured the spectators.

"Junior Prom Success '--All Promenaders De Paul's Junior Prom goes on record as one of the most successful ever given by the school. The dance was held last Saturday in the ever popular Boulevard Room of the Stevens, which was filled with a capacity crowd. Jack Chapman's orchestra lent the musical touch to the occasion. Prom Leaders Miss Eugenia Ziemba, sophomore of the Commerce school and a Phi Gamma Nu, led the left wing accompanied* by Junior Commerce President Gene Ostheimer. The right wing was headed by Miss Helen Campbell, Uptown Liberal Arts Sophomore of Rho Delta Pi, who was accompanied by Martin Kissane, Junior Class President. The law wing was led by Miss Sophie Weber, De Paul alumna in the Liberal Arts School and a Rho Delta Pi member. She was accompanied by Raymond Graham of the Law School.

The meeting is called by President A1 Jantorni, who requests that all members be present for serious discussion. The question of new members will be acted on. BY DOWNTOWNER I slid down another inch or so until my head was burrowing in the law-book, and still I could feel the accusing eye of the dignitaries of the law as they gazed at me from their ashen frames on the walls. I poked one eye cautiously above the edge of law volume and caught the eye of an impressive gentleman with a white wig and a stern look. I looked away quickly, but immediately twenty more gentlemen all in white wigs, or something akin, began to glare at me. I gulped soundlessly, but it did no good. All the judges of the past, many of the great lawyers, and all the Supreme Court Judges pursed their lips in scorn and bent accusing eyes on me from out their frames. I glanced around. No one else seemed disturbed because such dignitaries sat on walls and accused the negligent and the careless. Puff! Why, then, should I bother about the old men in their expensive frames? I'd skip cases if I pleased, and nobody in a frame, even if they were oak and of great value, could make me change. But just then my eyes caught those of a Supreme Court judge. "Look at me," he beckoned, "Who will etch you, and frame you up, and hang you on walls of one of the greatest law schools of the land? Who will put you in a valuable collection because you were a great Against Mary Johnson to Address I.R.C. On Nationalism Tues. O'Connell Speaks At Last Friday's Meeting De Paul's International Relations Club assembled last Friday to listen to a talk on "Pan-Americanism" delivered by the club's vice-president, R. O'Connell. Following the lecture which occupied about a half-hour, there took place a discussion on the topic of the day's talk after which the weekly pamphlets and quarterly reports were distributed to the members. Treats of Present Policies The speaker, after delving into the historical phases of the subject, from the origin of the idea with Simon Bolivar, the periodical congressional sessions of the League, the construction of the Panama Canal and its effect in opening the doors to the South American republics, dwelled briefly upon the part which the World War played upon our relations with the twenty young republics. Of special import were mentioned the "Relaxation" attitude of former president Hoover and the present policies of "non-intervention" which our present regime has adopted in regard to the South American reations with the United States. Many questions were raised during the course of the talk which later occupied the interest of the club members during the discussionary portion of the meeting. The next meeting will be on Tuesday and the speaker on this occasion will be Miss Mary Johnson who will discuss "Nationalism vs. Internationalism". Room 1401 will be the scene of the gathering which will take place from three to four. S.A.C. Committee Audits Accounts Show Big Profit At the last Student Activity Council meeting the President appointed a committee to audit the books of the council. This committee consisted of Joseph Casey, Robert Palmer, and John Egan, who met in the earlier part of the week and made a complete survey of all the incomes and expenses that were listed for the various affairs held during the past year. These included the De Paulia Dance, Homecoming, Frosh-Soph Dance, Bus Trip, and Junior Prom, all of which proved successful. After a careful survey of the accounts, it was found that for the first time in the history of De Paul the Student Activity Council was financially ahead to the amount of $175.00. Tired, Barristers to Be Portraits Etch Your Service and just lawyer or judge? What does it matter that heedless students don't notice me now? Some day they'll remember me". I glanced away helplessly. Then I laughed apologetically, and turned back the pages of the law book to do the cases I had skipped. After all you might as well do all the cases, if you were going to do some. Later, as I walked down the hall with a clear conscience, I gazed possessively on the lovely old etchings, and I noticed that many of them were autographed by their subjects. There was Oliver W. Holmes Jr., Supreme Court Judge Benjamin Cardozo, a fellow member Roscoe Pound, Dean of Law at Harvard and many others, all autographed and part of the great collection presented to the school by Charles Barmore. An excellent picture of Lincoln presented by the late Judge Oakleaf, and innumerable others gazed at me in friendly brotherhood. Swelling with pride for my school and my profession, I approached some fellow students: "Some stuff——these etchings and prints, don't you think?" I queried.They gazed at me blankly, then one said in a puzzled voice, "Etchings and prints? What are you talking about?" Thursday, March 7, 1935 DePaul Students Supervise Play At Social Center Uptown Studes Sign For Program of Activities De Paul students will supervise the Queen of Angels Guild Hall and recreational center. At the request of the pastor, Father John Doody, students of De Paul will glean their first experience in welfare work in this recently opened recreational center. Dedicated to the interests of the parish, the newly opened Guild Hall will provide the children of the North Side with the means and the supervision necessary to promote the Catholic Action cause. Committees Chosen As planned, the play of the children will be controlled and directed into educational channels. The committee of student sociologists is made up of upperclassmen of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.The members of the committee are: Valerie Zuercher, A1 Tiberi, Mary Lou Grogan, Niceta Sullivan, Alice Garrity, Doris Grogan, Cele Duffy, Rogene McDonald, Eleanor Selbach, M. Kissane, G. Schwarz, R. Durkin, A Lagod, E. Gallagher, J. Peri, and C. Carney. Recreational Center This Recreational center was planned and executed by the pastor and his assistants of Queen of Angels Parish. Entirely a parochial center, it is supported by the membership and voluntary subscriptions of the parish. It offers admirable physical, mental, and spiritual training to those interested in Catholic Activities. The vocational guidance which the De Paul students gave is a great aid to the parochial committees interested in parochial activities.Daily Guard For Lent is Part of Cisca Program The Eucharistic Committee under the direction of its chairman, Jane Charlson, is to establish a Daily Guard for Lent, the condition for membership being that fifteen minutes a day be spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. As the response to the request for such a guard for days on which Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament was held was very gratifying the committtee decided to go one step further and have the guard every day in Lent. Membership is entirely up to the desire of the individual. It is desirous not only to refrain from certain activities during Lent but it is also highly commendable to do something positive. Miss Charlson suggests that "Catholic Action is to do, not refrain from doing something. So along with our self sacrifice let us try to make visits daily to the Church. We visit friends in time of gladness and sorrow, why then are we so forgetful of our Lord when we are not praying for something1 in particular". Membership in this Guard of Honor is an opportunity to display Catholic Action. All those who desire to become a member of the Guard may do so by signing their name to the roll which will be posted on the Bulletin Board all day Friday. SEE DEMONS IN Titans Seek Fifteenth Victory In Sixteen Cage Starts Against Detroit Quintet AH football players are requested to get in touch with Carmen Corrado, annual photographer, today for the purpose of having the annual pictures taken. Three important Council meetings will be held on Monday, March 11, at 8:00. The Student Activity Council will meet in Room 1501 at this time, while the Inter-Fraternity Council will hold its meeting in the Moot Court. The Inter-Sorority Council's business meeting will be held in Room 1610. Three Seniors Doff "White Satins" In Final Saturday night will bring the scrapping quintet from Detroit University to De Paul's floor to provide the final battle for the Demons in their tilt with the Motor City boys. The Red and Blue will be seeking their fifteenth victory in sixteen starts. Captain Frank Linskey, after three years of brilliant varsity ball, will lead the team in to the fray that will be the last of his intercollegiate career. Bob Sand and Phil Krause will also don the white satins for the last time. These veterans are leaving, after playing on teams that for two successive years won nation-wide recognition, with the sport esteem of De Paul once more perched on a high rung. Undefeated Last Season Last season the Demons concluded an undefeated schedule with a 50-41 victory over Detroit. This season the conditions are practically the same, the D. P. U. five having dropped but one game. The quintet opened their '34-'35 season with a victory over the Illinois squad in Champaign which has since gone on to make a strong bid for the Big Ten Conference title. The Demons then put down Kalamazoo, Valparaiso and Missouri State in rapid succession to continue their chain of victories to 21. The five's next encounter was with the strong outfit from Purdue. In a close battle before the greatest basketball crowd that Chicago has seen, the victory chain of the Red and Blue was broken. A while later Purdue lost to Illinois, who had previously bowed to De Paul. Get Into Stride The Demons lost no time in regaining their winning ways. They swept over Grinnell, St. Louis and De Kalb and met Western State in one of the closest tilts of the season. They retained their stride, conquering North Central, Detroit, Valparaiso, Western State, and St. Louis, running their new string to nine. Much of the success of their seas^ on may be attributed to the sophomores who have not only bolstered the commendable play of the veterans but have proven their worth as a team themselves. The work of 'Sparky' Campion can certainly be rated with that of the best defense men. Ball handling has seldom attained to so great a degree of skill as in the case of "Wee Willie" Phillips. Sophomore Nick Yost has handled the greater part of the center burden and has done as good a job of it as any of the circle men in the middle west. It will be up to those aforementioned sophomores to take up the standards where Linskey, Sand, Gorsky, Barskis, et al, have so far advanced them and continue onward. The schedule for the '35-'36 season will present such teams as Illinois, Purdue, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and the others who comprise the cream of the nations basketball crop. Alumni Magazine Features Articles By Former Grads The De Paul Alumni Magazine will make its next appearance the latter part of March according to the report of the newly appointed editors. Father F. R. Martinez, C. M., student activity director has recently named Arthur J. Schaefer of '34 as editor-in-chief and Margaret Neville of '29 as alumnae editor. Work has begun on this forthcoming number and it will contain several articles written by prominent graduates of De Paul. Dr. Francis E. McMahon, member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a 1927 graduate of De Paul's Liberal Arts School has agreed to remit an article which will appear in this issue. A particularly attractive section for "personals" is one of its promising features. Information concerning the Cathoic Alumni Federation Convention to be held at the Palmer House on April 25-27 will also be given in detail.
