Marion Szyper, secretary of the Uptown Veterans' Club, is in charge of arrangements. De Paul University's typical career girl will be the object of a university-wide search to be conducted during the next several weeks under the sponsorship of the Evening Commerce Council.

The candidates must at the present time hold some position outside of school leading to a career in the business world. Sec Grad Answers Wierd Queries for Brittanica I he Secretarial Department boasts many outstanding graduates. It has among its alumnae one who has achieved a position which can be envied by all undergraduates. She is Mary Joyce who, in a brief span of four years, has merited the title of head stenographer in the Research Department of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. After receiving her Secretarial diploma in 1942, she obtained a position in this department through the DePaul Placement Bureau. At that time, she was the sole typist in the office, preparing all reports to be sent to subscribers. As the volume of work increased each year, the department had to expand and, in the process, Miss Joyce became the head stenographer. She has proved very valuable in this capacity, for she assigns, supervises, and passes all reports that are prepared acquaints new employees with the work and relieves the director of many other details. The work of the Research Department is to supply answers to subscribers' questions which are not covered in the Encyclopedia. It is hard to imagine the number and variety of these inquiries. A few are unusual, such as, "Did Cleopatra wear dentures?" and "What is the love call of the mosquito?" More common are those which concern current contraversial subjects—the atomic bomb, compulsory military training, and socialized medicine. Information for the reports is compiled by Research Workers who are located in libraries throughout the country and sent to Miss Joyce's office to be typed and mailed to subscribers. According to Miss Joyce, her work has many advantages of interest to students preparing to REV. E. J. KAMMER CELEBRATES MASS FOR ED CANTWELL Yesterday morning, Father Edward J.

The forum is under the sponsorship of Miss Dorothy Dockstader and was founded for the purpose of aiding DePaul graduates in securing employment. Mary Joyce leave college. The material is varied and never monotonous. College graduates have an opportunity to do work in their major field of study and to increase their hoard of knowledge. (College training and typing are now requirements.) Also, this company is an outstanding one in its field.

Certainly you want to be a part of this conservation. Therefore be sure to see "The Merry Widow." Marvelous deduction! "The Merry Widow" will be the last all student activity sponsored event. So far this year, all activities have been very successful, Let's put the last activity over one hundred percent.

Seated I. to r. are: Thomas Horgan, Flora Palma and Thomas Collins. Standing are: Joseph Rossi, George Tozzi, Joe Griffin and Mario Del Beccaro. DPU Faculty Heads Attend Catholic Ass'n Convention 1 Remember "The Red Mill"? Many of the students did not see it. They were sorry and I'll wager they'll be sure to see "The Merry Widow." They know now that they missed seeing an excellent musical. A word of warning Don't wait until the last couple of days to get your tickets. Last year quite a few wanted to see how successful "The Red Mill" was going to be. They waited too long. Remember everyone cannot go on the last night. Make your plans now. Don't be disappointed. "The Merry Widow" is on the "must" list for DePaul students. Rev. Gerald Mullen, Director of Student Activities. Last week The Very Reverend Comerford J. O'Malley, C.M., president of DePaul University Father Edward J. Kammer, C.M., vicepresident and dean of Commerce and Rev. Theodore J. Wangler, C. M-, dean of Uptown Liberal Arts, attended the Forty-fourth Annual Convention of the National Catholic Educational Association in Boston Massachusetts. One of the most important movements of the conference was the revitalization of the National Federation of Catholic College students. The next meeting of the Federation will be held in Toledo, Ohio, later this month. It was announced that college enrollment has had its greatest- increase in the Schools of Engineering, Business Administration and Law. Higher Education Father Kammer, Father Wangler and Mr. Sharer also attended the National Educational Association Conference on Higher Education March 31 through April 3. Such subjects as Administration Policies, General Education, Professional Education, Financing, University Relationship with the Vets Administration, and Enrollment trends were on the agenda. Tt was announced that student fees have bee nor are going to be increased in the 15)47-48 semesters because of additional costs in maintaining Universities and Colleges. It was predicted that enrollment in institutions of higher education will steadily increase until 1950 and then decline gradually until 1960. Commerce School To Offer New Mgt, Curriculum Dr. Stephen J. Mueller, head of the Management Department of the College of Commerce, has announced that beginning next semester the management courses will be revised to include several new subjects. The old Business Administration course will be changed to a General Business Course, and students may major in new curriculum called Business Management. Completion of the Curriculum will find the student prepared to adapt himself to an industrial, mercantile, transportation, or financial organization with equal facility. The new courses are: Office Management, Purchasing, Advanced Personnel Management, Wage and Salary Incentive, Time and Motion Study, and a Seminar in Management. If there is a sufficient demand, the university may add a course in Personnel Psychology. Each of the courses is a 3 hour credit. SYMPATHY The faculty and students of De Paul University extend their sympathy to the family of Edward Ralph Cantwell, Day Commerce student, who lost his life April 10. THE WIDOW HOLDS COURT! Student Musical Will Run for Six Days Mr. Tozzi has frequently soloed on the WGN "Theater of the Air," on Saturday evenings Miss Palma has sung on numerous Italian language programs on stations WGES and WGNB, and sang the role of Micaela in Bizet's "Carmen," at the Eighth Street Theater two years ago.

Stage director is the Rev. Thomas Connolly, C.M., director of last year's successful "Red Mill." Cast of Fifty There is a supporting cast of 50 students of the university. Mary Hotter, who sings the role of Natalia, is a student at the Music School, and sang at Chicago's USO for a period. Joe Rossi, "Khadja" in the cast, sings fluent Spanish, a talent which brought him a recording contract from the PanAmerican Union for a series of recordings of national anthems of all South American countries. Lucille Brakopp, principal dancer and dance director of the production, was a member of the Dorothy Hi Id dance troupe at the Edge water Beach Hotel last summer. Jack Berry, comedian of the OUTWARD BOUND' Little Theater April 19 "The Merry Widow," De Paul University's much-awaited student production, will begin its six-day run Monday night in the St. Alphonsus Athenaeum, Lincoln and Southport Aves.

Both Mr. Tozzi and Miss Palma have had extensive experience in radio and concert work. Lehar 'Merry Widow'? Boys, Put the Blame on Mayme ing, insignificant to the world at the time, that has affected the lives of fifty-odd DePaulians and which will, if the hopes of Father Connolly and the treasurer of this university take concrete form, affect a good many more DePaul students. That Vermin, Hermann By ED STERN On the surface, April isn't much. This April is last April or April twenty years ago what's the difference? April was, in probability, designed to do no more than keep March and May from pushing each other around. But April, 1870—ah, that's quite another thing! For within the seemingly commonplace confines of that month, there was a happen What happened? Why, Herr und Frau Lehar were blessed with a son and heir, little Franz Lehar. Franz, at the age of thirty-five became embroiled with Mayme Klatschweiler, widow of the local Wiener-Schnitzel dispenser Mayme being a gay old girl, alvase mil der giggling. This little affaire d'amour ended disastrously for Franz. Mayme ran off with a clerk in the Bank of Vienna, whom history records only as "Hermann." To get it off his chest, Franz began composing madly and came up with another of his successful operettas, Die lustige Witwe or The Merry Widow, in honor of his lost Mayme. Fr. Connally Cajoles And now, in another April, 27 years later, we'll be able to see that same Merry Widow. And it should be good. I've watched Father Connally cajole, wheedle, and persuade the cast to work hard in the soft, dulcet tones that are a APRIL 18, 1947 Show cast, has done radio announcing and is presently producer of a daytime show on WGN.

Orchids to Chorus In my previous splashings of putrid prose, I've dealt principally with the principals (pun, son) of the Merry Widow. That is, I believe, accepted form for pre-curtain advertising. But with the open-, ing date of the show so close, I think, more, I know that the chorus is deserving of mention. For while its members don't get their names on the advertising posters or in upper case on the program, they've worked just as hard and are as much responsible for the success of the operetta as the leading man or lady. They have given their time and efforts for no material gain, but rather for the honor of the school and its furtherance. Go ahead and laugh at that last, if you'd care to it's still true. Maybe a little corny school spirit would be a good thing at DePaul. Who knows

Mary Hotter, who sings the role of Natalia, is a student at the Music School, and sang at Chicago's USO for a period. Joe Rossi, "Khadja" in the cast, sings fluent Spanish, a talent which brought him a recording contract from the PanAmerican Union for a series of recordings of national anthems of all South American countries. Lucille Brakopp, principal dancer and dance director of the production, was a member of the Dorothy Hi Id dance troupe at the Edge water Beach Hotel last summer.

Boys, Put the Blame on Mayme ing, insignificant to the world at the time, that has affected the lives of fifty-odd DePaulians and which will, if the hopes of Father Connolly and the treasurer of this university take concrete form, affect a good many more DePaul students. That Vermin, Hermann By ED STERN On the surface, April isn't much. This April is last April or April twenty years ago what's the difference? April was, in probability, designed to do no more than keep March and May from pushing each other around. But April, 1870—ah, that's quite another thing! For within the seemingly commonplace confines of that month, there was a happen What happened? Why, Herr und Frau Lehar were blessed with a son and heir, little Franz Lehar. Franz, at the age of thirty-five became embroiled with Mayme Klatschweiler, widow of the local Wiener-Schnitzel dispenser Mayme being a gay old girl, alvase mil der giggling. This little affaire d'amour ended disastrously for Franz. Mayme ran off with a clerk in the Bank of Vienna, whom history records only as "Hermann." To get it off his chest, Franz began composing madly and came up with another of his successful operettas, Die lustige Witwe or The Merry Widow, in honor of his lost Mayme. Fr. Connally Cajoles And now, in another April, 27 years later, we'll be able to see that same Merry Widow. And it should be good.

Orchids to Chorus In my previous splashings of putrid prose, I've dealt principally with the principals (pun, son) of the Merry Widow. That is, I believe, accepted form for pre-curtain advertising. But with the open-, ing date of the show so close, I think, more, I know that the chorus is deserving of mention. For while its members don't get their names on the advertising posters or in upper case on the program, they've worked just as hard and are as much responsible for the success of the operetta as the leading man or lady. They have given their time and efforts for no material gain, but rather for the honor of the school and its furtherance. Go ahead and laugh at that last, if you'd care to it's still true. Maybe a little corny school spirit would be a good thing at DePaul. Who knows |
