              I ATTEND NEXT WEDNESDAY Volume XXXIV Number 22 Junior Bar Association To Hold Dance Tomorrow Once again the Junior Bar Association of the College of Law is having their annual dance of the year. For the past three years this organization has sponsored a dance which has drawn students from both the day and evening divisions of law. Last year, the dance was considered most successful and pleasant, and this year with the cooperation of the students the Jr. Bar Association hopes to surpass last year's events. The Law School does not have too many social affairs, hence, lawyers-to-be ordinarily take advantage of this social whirl. Although the dance is for the Law School, students and friends are invited. For those students who are in other departments of education and are interested in entering law school, this is their opportunity to meet law students socially. The price of admission is $1, which may be paid either at the door or to a member of the fraternity who is selling tickets on campus. During the past years DePaul students have attended and enjoyed themselves at this dance which has proven itself to be one of the most enjoyable on the DePaul social calendar. Music will be provided by Louis Esposito and his Orchestra, a long time favorite of DePaul students, who did a wonderful job at their New Year's Eve Dance. As the students of DePaul may know, Alpha Delta Gamma is a National Catholic Social Fraternity, which has been serving DePaul and its students for the past twenty-seven years with many excellent social events to which the Kazatska is no exception. The dance will be a stag or drag affair. So fellas, if you can't get a date (or don't care to) come on up anyway and Wie will show you a good time. Brother Mike Kranicke is in charge of the dance in the downtown campus, while Nick Palella is handling all the arrangements on the uptown campus. These Alpha Delts along with all the other brothers promise to all who come a most enjoyable evening. Don't forget the place, DePaul The entertainment this year should toe at its toest with Mitchell Edelson directing and consisting mostly of seniors who are participating in the different parts. The theme will be composed of student life in law school, characterizing the various aspects and problems which confront the lawyer-to-toe. All those attending the dance should thoroughly enjoy the student skits. The faculty certainly are included in this invitation. The Junior Bar Association is holding the dance this year at the Morrison Hotel in the Cotiliian Room on April 21, 1956, Saturday evening. Tonight at 9:30, Alpha Delta Gamma Fraternity will present its annual Kazatska (Spring Dance) at the DePaul University Gymnasium. For many years the dance has been a highlight of the spring social season and as in the past the brother of A.D.G. guarantee to all who attend a fine time.

DePaul University—Serving the Cause of Higher Education for Over Half a Century CHICAGO, ILLINOIS JR. BAR DANCE SATURDAY ADG's Twenty-Eighth Annual DePaul Development Program Kazatska Tonight in the Gym Included in this amount is a check for $25,000 from the Commonwealth Edison Company, received by University president Father O'Malley last week. It fulfills a pledge made earlier to Father O'Malley by Willis Gale, Edison president. Not included in these figures, of course, is the gift to DePaul last October of the Kimball Building, 18-story downtown skyscraper, by the Frank J. Lewis Foundation. "Board members who took part in the planning of DePaul's $514 million Development Program would have been deeply gratified if someone could have told them back in 1853 that within ZVz years the development objectives would be so far along the road to accomplishment," Schaefer said. He cited the following items of progress: 1) A new downtown center. Keystone to the University's expansion, the new Frank J. Lewis Downtown Center is the answer to the University's problem of acquiring a larger Loop skyscraper that will provide additional classrooms, expanded library space more faculty and student offices and lounges a 500-seat auditor­ Etl rl in. Mr. Fraternity Ins Its Most Successful Year The DePaul Development Program is moving toward its most successful year since its inauguration in October 1953, recent figures indicate. This was the report submitted to DePaul's board of lay trustees at a dinner meeting on Wednesday, April 11, 1956, at the Union League Club. Cash contributions during the current fiscal year (since July 1. 1955) have reached a quarter-million dollars, Univerity vice president Arthur J. •Sehaefer informed Board members.DePAUL UNIVERSITY FORUM ium a University cafeteria DePaul University were readily and dining room larger lobby and elevator facilities and many other advantages. 2) An auditorium physical education building. Long dreamed of has a Universityowned site for collegiate activities, the new multi-purpose building is actually under construction on the uptown campus and will be ready for use next fall. New home of the College of Physical Education, it will also serve students and faculties of all University divisions. 3) Endowment for faculty salaries. The Ford Foundation grant will provide a big lift toward the University's immediate goal of a $1,000,000 endowment to help boost faculty salaries. Though its exact size has not yet been determined, it is anticipated that the Ford gift will take the Development Program past the half-way mark toward this objective. While the campaign continues to reach members of DePaul's immediate family—alumni, students, faculty, trustees, and friends—it is now moving into the corporate field, Mr. Schaefer pointed out. In recent months, Father O'Malley has personally presented DePaul's case to the heads often of the largest corporations in the Chicago area. In each instance, the merits of I April 20, 1956 recognized every organization, without exception, promised to participate in the DePaul program.Meanwhile, D:Paul trustees have been personally contacting other Chicago-area firms, with comparable results. Forty-five individualized presentations are now in Board members' hands for use in telling DePaul's story to corporate heads. "Other institutions are finding that corporate support is becoming a major source of gifts," Schaefer pointed out. "While we have been gratified by the generosity of our DePaul 'family,' which serves as an index to others, we too will probably find substantial support from Chicago-area business firms who are grateful for the DePaultrained men and women on their rosters." Board chairman Leo J. Sheridan reported to members on details of DePaul's planning for the move from the present downtown building to the Frank J. Lewis Center. Other reports were submitted by John F. Mannion, senior vice president of the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company Matthew J. Fitzgerald, president of the Standard Asbestos Manufacturing Company and chairman of the Michigan Avenue National Bank and Stephen A. Mitchell, attorney and former Democratic national chairman.
