              VOL. XXIV.- NO. 20. Daily Mass On Calendar For Sodalists YEARBOOKS TO BE SOLD FOR $5.50 ON SUBSCRIPTION BASIS The present paper shortage limits the amount of copies to be printed to 1,800. For this reason distribution of the books will be handled on a subscription basis a date will be set aside for senior subscriptions and a later date will open the subscriptions to the entire student body. Students are warned at this early date to avail themselves of the opportunity which such a system provides and to watch for the announcement of the opening' of the subscription drive. A payment deadline for the books, alter the subscriptions are in, will be published in the DePaulia at some later date. Pioneer Venture As has been mentioned in previous articles, the 1946 DePaulian is the first yearbook to appear on the campus since 1943 and because of this it is in itself a pioneer venture of a sort. Materials and labor have been high-priced and extremely difficult to procure because of the series of strikes which have polka-dotted the country. In order that the book be ready for distribution on time, those who have been provided with appointment slips for the photographer are urged to have their pictures taken immediately and more important still to return their proofs within a week after they are received. According to a report from the photographer, a majority of the proofs are still outstanding and because of this several of the sorority, fraternity, and graduate pages will be late or impaired in their appearance in the book. Those who have enlisted their aid for the production of the book and those who wish to help are advised" to contact either of the editors, Barbara Meich or Joseph McLary those wishing to work on feature material are advised to contact Elizabeth 1 y, and those whose forte is art and layout work should contact Marion Bernero. Typists and part-time secretaries are in especial demand. In reply to the many inquiries about assignments, the staff are again reminded that the work is of a sporadic nature and that constant contact with the editors is necessary. Daily Mass from now until Easter and fund raising for the Vincentian foreign missions are two of the projects for Lent discussed by the Uptown Sodality yesterday. Containers will be placed in the halls of the Liberal Arts and Science buildings. Each student is urged to contribute one cent a day during Lent to the missions, which have suffered considerably during the war years. The sodality will continue to attend Mass together every Friday morning and all students—men and women—are urged to attend this service even if they are not interested in becoming sodality members. The Mass is celebrated at 8:00 in the Priests' Chapel every Friday morning. SYMPATHY The faculty and students offer their condolences to Father Pius J. Barth, O.F.M., on the death of his mother.
