DePaulia (DePaul University, Chicago, IL), 1928-05-10

              SEE THE CHARM SCHOOL Vol. 7, No. 25 MASCULINE ISSUE OF DEPAULIA FOR THURSDAY, MAY 24 Wright and Donohue Picked to Edit Special Number Ask for Help Masculine De Paul will have its opportunity to balance scores with the coeds, for on Thursday, May 24, the first all male number of the De Paulia will be published. The big chance has been granted to all the he-men about the school whose pet peeves were somewhat jarred by the products of feminine thought, to express editorially their hitherto unpublished and suppressed opinion of man's place in campus life. Pick Co-Editors Jack Wright and Jack Donohue have been selected to guide the destinies of the edition, and since they have not definitely chosen their staff they are scattering far and wide the appeal for men to contribute. The editors report a very personal desire to make the "he-Man" issue one that will not soon be forgotten, and they feel that the masculine ego of which the coeds spoke so often will come to the fore and prick the men on to publiqhpftpr ijarjpr than the srirls did. Still Room for Talent Numerous positions are open to the ambitious and there is a need of all forms of help from reporters to cartoonists, and from proofreaders to photographers. The editors have shifted the burden of the edition on the male student body in general and the success or failure of the issue will reflect directly on every man in the school. Contest Papers in Hands of Judges Contests for the awards in the Christian Doctrine Classes were held last Friday afternoon. As yet no announcements have been made regarding the outcome of the contests, owing to the great number of entries in each of the four divisions. However, the essays are now in the hands of the judges and mention of the winners of the awards offered will undoubtedly be made before the end of May. Roto Editions Go to High Schools Extra copies of last week's Roto Edition are to be distributed to the various Catholic boys' high schools throughout the city. It is estimated that these De Paulias will be sent 10 about 11 institutions in order to acquaint them with De Paul and its student publication. Father Levan heartily commends the idea and has given his approval of the plan. Uptown Equestriennes Mount Every Wed. The Riding Club composed of girls of the Uptown School go through their equestrian calisthenics every Wednesday a/fternoon. The Club, though small in its beginning, is rapidly gaining number and expects to develop quite a bevy of equestriennes before the advent of the long vacation. t-r De Paul Chapter Delta Theta Phi to Eciii Quarterly De Paul's chapter of Delta Theta will have the privilege of publishing the Fall number of the national Fraternity quarterly, if present plans materialize. It would be dedicated to De Paul's new building and to the nearly three hundred alumni of the local senate. Since the fraternity has sixty-four chapters with nearly nine thousand active and alumni members, such an undertaking would not only be a credit to the chapter, but would be the means of carrying the story of the law school's phenomenal rise to every corner of the legal world in America. Tentative plans have already been made, awaiting only the final approval, which is expected within several weeks. Warvelle Senate joined with the chapters at Chicago, Northwestern, Loyola, Kent and John Marshall in a dance at the Bismarck, April 28. It was a closed affair and was an overwhelming success, not only in point of entertainment, but as the means of welding the local chapters closed together. De Paul's thirtyseven members were present to a man, including eleven invites, who were there as guests of Warvelle Senate. The last initiation of the year will be held on May 26 or June 2, and the closing social event, a chapter dinner-dance, is set for June 16, the night after commencement. Alpha Omega Formal May 11 Davis Hotel Alpha Omega Sorority will hoid its annual spring formal Friday evening, May 11, at the Hotel Davis. This year's affair will be a dinner dance and will be held in the Oriental Room, so popular with many students. Betty Vallet, president of the organization, and her committee have been doing their best to make this event the most successful social affair ever given by the sorority, and it is certain that a wonderful time will be had by both the members and their guests. DE PAULIA CHICAGO, ILLINOIS WIG-MASK PRESENTS SECOND PLAY MAY 15-16 COLLEGE—CHARM SCHOOL VERSION a 3 hfM- 1 1 HJkju MAY CARNIVALS NETS ATHLETIC FUND $2,700 DESPITE POOR SUPPORT The returns of the May Carnival, sponsored by Father Coupal for the athletic fund and held in the Auditorium last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, have been counted up and the affair may be safely called a financial success. As yet all the receipts have not been turned in and consequently it is impossible to give an exact statement of the finances. However, Father Coupal made known the result to date which is as follows: Expenses, including the cost of the Buick sedan raffled off Saturday night, total $1,515.00 and the gross receipts are $4,215.00. Attendance Not Rife Father Coupal wished these figures to be made public through the DE PAULIA so that every student of De Paul may know the exact result of the Carnival. Despite the seeming lack of student interest in the affair, Father Coupal is confident that our first May Carnival will presage greater ones. He admitted that he was somewhat disappointed in the attendance by the students and that he considered the poor showing a lack of interest in the athletic fund. Jurcovic Wins Buick The principal interest of those who attended the Carnival was centered on the beautiful Buick sedan which was being raffled off. The car was on exposition during the three day festival and many were the fond looks cast its way. But sadness was destined to replace the hopefulness in many hearts. The lucky person was John Jurcovic of the Liberal Arts Department. A card party will be held in the near future to dispose of many valuable articles which were left over after the last wheel was spun. The exact date has not yet been announced but will be made known during the coming week. It is hoped that all those who neglected to attend the Carnival will be present at this party as the proceeds will go to the athletic fund. Key to Success Found in Dance al Drake Hotel Found—a sure formula for a successful dance: the Main Ballroom of the Drake Hotel, a red hot orchestra, and) bids twenty cents a couple. Reads like a fairy tale, doesn't it? Well—it wasn't! It should have gone over and it sure did. Father Coupal's Pre-Carnival Dance at the Drake on Tuesday night, May 1, easily wins the prize for being the largest and most successful dance ever run at De Paul. Capacity Crowd Attends Not only the dance floor, itself, but also the foyer and the balconies were filled to capacity. By 10:30 it looked as though the genial host and his welcoming committee (who also welcomed your thin dimes and viciously stamped some red glue on your nice clean hands) would need a shoe horn to fit another person into the hall—and still they kept coming. Everybody was there —Uptown De Paul, Downtown De Paul, alumni and outsiders. Financial Success Also It is estimated that the attendance that night was well over 2,500. It looked more like twenty-five thousand. Moreover, strange as it may seem, the non-tax dance was a financial success. After all the little dimes had been donated, counted, and used for expenses, the athletic fund found itself still $40 to the good. The sludents were certainly entertained royally. Thanks, Father Coupal. Receive Grant to Build Tennis Courts Agitation for the construction of tennis courts in the vicinity of the Arts School has resulted in a show of interest on the part of the faculty. According to unconfirmed reports the Athletic Board has granted the necessary appropriation for the building of the courts. Fr. Coupal, supervisor of athletics and Director Kelly have been debating the seasonal advantages for beginning the work to all appearances the courts will be ready in September. SEE THE CHARM SCHOOL May 10, 1928 DRAMATIC SOCIETY WILL STAGE "CHARM SCHOOL" TOES.-WED. Presentation of Three Act Comedy tn Be Year's Last Effort of Players On Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, the Wig and Mask Dramatic Society will stage its second presentation of the year, "The Charm School," in the University Auditorium. The "Charm School" is a threeact comedy by Alice Miller and Robert Milton. It was the popular choice of members of the society and those in the cast have evinced keen interest and have expended much energy in attempting a perfect characterization of their parts. Hero Inherits School The story is of a young business man, played by Thomas Haggerty who inherits a girls' boarding school. Instead of teaching the three "R's" the young man decides to teach the girls charm. This leads to numerous difficulties which will hold the interest throughout. Tickets for the dramatic society's second production have been out for ouxne Dixie, aim may ue ODiameu at the University offices. Director is Confident Mr. Henderson, director of the Wig and Mask, states that everything is in readiness for the rise of the curtain and in addition he promises a very interesting and fascinating presentation.Frosh Track Men in Dual Meet Tomorrow Frosh track men tomorrow journey to the Lake Forest Academy field where they engage the team of that school in their first dual meet of the year. First places are expected in the quarter mile runs and in the weight events. Wampler and Elderbrook, who have been heralded rather far and wide to flash a pair of fleet heels in the face of competition, will be in the top of condition for their specialty, the 440 yard run. In the shot-put Denver Watts is expected to exhibit first place form and garner several counters for the Red and Blue. The rest of the squad has not been subject to the acid test as yet and is more or less an unknown quantity. Kelly, however, is expecting to show the Lake Forest team what real competition is. Announce Beauties With the announcement that the Annual will be out the week following the Senior Ball comes the information that the winners of the beauty contest will be introduced to the seniors at their ball. George McGrat'h, editor of the Annual, refused to give the name of the judge. All he would say was that far more pictures were turned in this year than last. This he attributed to the De Paulia's handling of entries. About sixty-five pictures were turned over to the judge, who will pick five winners. Pictures of the five beauties will comprise that favorite feature of the yearbook, the beauty section.
