              Attend Sodality Lectures VOLUME XXIX —No. 16 DePaulites Aid Fieldhouse fund In Student Drive DePaul's annual student Fieldhouse drive will get under way in the very near future, with hopes high of outdoing last year's efforts. Every one of the more than 8,000 DePaulites will have a job cut out for him. Although these jobs constitute laying of bricks, no one is asked to dirty his hands with mortar. Better than that, each student is being asked to become a business man and help buy the bricks which will eventually go into the Alumni {fall. Individual prizes and organizational awards will be offered, so it would be wise for these people to lay their plans now. Watch the DePatilia for further details on this tremendous undertaking. Downtown LA to Offer New Courses Two new courses are being offered Downtown Liberal Arts College for the first time in the Spring Quarter. Both courses will be given by Dr. Richard Houk, acting chairman of the Department of Geography, who believes that students will find them both interesting and instructive. There is no prerequisite for either course. One, Geography D115, "The Geography of the Pacific," is being offered at DePaul for the first time on any campus in Chicago. This will consider the greatly differing islands of the Pacific with their variations in landscapes, climates, population and economic problems. The governments of Australia and New Zealand, United Airways and British Overseas Airways have all co-operated in creating this course by making available an extensive number of colored films as well as maps, pictures, and the latest statistical booklets for the students. The class will meet at 6:10 on Mondays and Thursdays. The other, Geography D127, •"The Geography of South America," is being offered on Tuesdays and Fridays at 4:10 p.m. The government of Venezuela, the Moore-McCormack Steamship Line, the Delta Steamship Co., Braniff International Airways, Panagra Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines have all cooperated in making available an extensive number of fine technicolor films for showing to the class. Plans are being made to make use of the facilities of the Chicago Museum of Natural History for the benefit and instruction of both classes. College of Commerce ... O- I OI I Uptown campus.
