Much of the success already merited by these young students is due to the interest and guidance of their well-known and accomplished teachers. The students of De Paul and all their music loving friends attending this gala event are promised a most pleasant and entertaining evening for the small admission fee of twenty-five cents. Women's Debate Team in Exhibit Carrol Opponent On Thursday, March 14, the Women's affirmative team, composed of Misses Josephine Verhelle and Dorothy Schlax met the team of Carroll College in an exhibit debate on the subject of Democratic Collectivism. The debate was held at Carroll College, Waukesha, Wisconsin as a feature of Better Speech Week. The De Paul team introduced a new plan which proved very successful because the negative found it difficult to criticize. Coeds Successful The women's debating season, which is fast drawing to a close, has been very gratifying. The first debate was an exhibit for the Women's City League. Within the last month the affirmative team has met De Kalb, Monmouth and Greenville, while the negative has met North Central and Rosary. Friday the negative team hopes to equalize the decisions when they meet Wheaton College. The team will be composed of Miss Verhelle and Miss Bachmann.

Bureau O Loop Employment SeeUs Grad Registration Last June 1934, Miss Loretta Hoyt, Counsellor of Women of the Downtown School and Instructress in the Secre tarial Department inaugurated a new and systematized Employment Bureau. She has in the course of this year been successful in contacting 2,000 local firms and placing before them through notification—DE PAUL as a future reference for high grade employees. Furthermore the agency encourages all former co-ed graduates of De Paul to register. The majority of these students, thus far registered and well qualified, have had no difficulty in securing good positions. As a further improvement of this original plan, Miss Hoyt has lately introduced a system of classifying firms as to the possibilities and requirements. To coincide with this arrangement the students also are classified considering their I. Q.'s, scholastic grades, and character traits. This plan is most efficient in placing the proper applicant in the rieht tvpe of position. Drama Department To Present Second Series of One Act Plays On Monday D. Lenters and Stephen R.

Co-ed Edition SAT To Seek Student Talent For Proposed All-De Paul Musical Revue Start Mon. Joe Casey, Henry Rago Authors of Skits A clarion call has been sent to all eds and co-eds of singing, dancing, or acting ability to attend tryouts Monday afternoon for the surprise musical revue written by Henry W. Rago and Joe Casey. The selections for tentative parts will be made in the Alpha Omega Sorority house, 2300 Sheffield Avenue, at 3:00 o'clock. A cast of about fifty students will be used. It is to be an all student organization of actors and technicians. A great deal of secrecy has surrounded the production and general theme of the show, the only definite information divulged being that it will be staged in the auditorium. It is certain, however, that the revue will sparkle with song and satire. Every attempt to unearth any further information concerning this production was duly thwarted by the authors. Both authors took part in the two previous musical comedies and have gained prominence in all school activities. "Hank" Rago, freshman in the law school won national recognition in the Poetry magazine. He was also a prize winner in the school song contest featured at De Paul last spring. His best known role at present, however is that of an essayist. His very versatile manner has surprisingly found him prominent in the boxing ring. "Hank" was also a straight "A" student. Joe Casey, a junior in the liberal arts school is Spillway editor for the De Paulia, and a member of the Student Activity Council. As Co-chairman of the Junior Prom, he helped to make it one of the most successful dances of the year. That this type of show will be successful at De Paul is evident from the city-wide prominence which both "Annabelle" and "Say It With Music" gained with their production the last two years. Jim McGuinn was the talented author of those comedies. However, it must be noted that the present production differs essentially from the previous shows. To insure the success of the surprise musical revue it is imperative that all students lend their hearty cooperation and support to this endeavor by coming for the tryouts next Monday afternoon. Offer Range of Courses at Loop Art Registration Registration for the spring quarter in the Downtown College in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences commenced Tuesday, March 12th. Classes will resume on Wednesday, March 20th. A total of seventy-five courses is being offered. These courses cover fields of philosophy, English, social sciences, physical and biological sciences, classical and modern languages and education. Special emphasis is being placed on philosophy during the new quarter. New courses are being offered, including logic, metaphysics, psychology, ethics, cosmology, natural theology and epistemology. An innovation in the college this quarter i« the offering of classes for a major of credit on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning. These classes include courses in english, geography and philosophy. To judge from inquiries already received by the college it is predicted that the enrollment in the spring quarter will be the largest in the history of the school. Suchomstei Prexy of Pi Gamma iff it Florence Suchmoski, popular senior coed in the Commerce School has been selected by the faculty to head Pi Gamma Mu, honorary social socletv, whose membership is restricted to faculty appointment. At a meeting of the society last Tuesday, March 12, Mr. Klein, faculty advisor, suggested that since the selection of a president was to be made from a rather small group it would be better to have the faculty make the selection.
