Biology Group Holds Banquet Tonight at Hotel The Biology Club of De Paul University will close its activities for the year with a banquet in the Marine Dining Room of the Edgewater Beach Hotel this evening, at half past eight. All members of the Club will be present at the dinner and invitations have been tendered their friends, who will join them at the dinner in a celebration marking the final activity of the Biology Club this year. This ending school year has been marked by increased activities of the University groups, but the Biology Club has paced them all in setting a standard for new vitality and vigorous growth. Tonight's banquet will prove a fitting climax of the most fruitful year in the Biology Club's existence. Tomorrow night in the University gym, De Paulites will swing to 'music with the Strong appeal' as presented by Bob Strong and his Dog House orchestra. The occasion is the Wranglerion, held under the joint sponsorship of the Wranglers and the Gordon-Kowalski Benefit Association (incorported, not for profit). The bids, priced at $1.50, were put on sale two weeks ago. De Paulites jumped at the chance to hear Bob Strong and to dance in the cozy, yet refined, atmosphere of the gym—both attractions for the very nominal Drice of a buck and a half. Bob Strong has been supplied with orchestrations of some of the tunes Any Similarity To Persons Dead Or Alive Is This is the yearly issue to which all journalistic and otherwise heads are inclined from the beginning of each scholastic year. Of necessity there have been things happening around the university, and with the excuse that this is a newspaper, although the usual editors have strayed too far aflield in this conviction, the front page at which you now impatiently and hastily glance contains some items which are of the usual news calibre. Beyond this page we guarantee nothing except enjoyment. And facts as true, at least as one will usually find in the DE PAULIA. This year's newspaper has been nothing toward which true De Paul men can point with pride. To our adversaries, and we can well call them such, Kennedy and Ouska and their staff of one and onehalf grammar school students and a dead cat we mumble a few words in Sanskrit with the fervent hope that they will not again break down the hierarchy of tradition which this edition will build up. But we here offer to you THE newspaper of the year, only one issue of thirty-six, but naturally a standout. It is dedicated to the men of this university, who have striven hard and long against odds of gargantuan proportions to assert themselves against raving maniacs with saddle shoes and sweaters and two editors of a newspaper. We have done our best. GUESS WHO Wranglerion Is Tomorrow Night featured in "Brush Off the Moon." He played these songs on his Dog House program last Tuesday night. Chuck Gordon, head of the Uptown Wranglers, and Joe Kowalski, ditto Downtown announced that the sale of bids this year is unprecedented in the history of this traditional affair. In view of this, the co-chairmen feel confident that all students attending will thoroughly enjoy themselves, if not dancing, at least in the knowledge that they have conributed to a worthy cause, namely the Gordon-Kowalski Benefit Association (incorporated, not for profit)THE DEPAULIA DE PAUL UNIVERSITY, CHICAGO, ILL.
