              COED EDITION Vol. 8, No. 20 THREE AUDITORIUM SCENE OF DANCE FOR ALL STUDENTS OF "U" Student Council is Sponsor of First Annual May Hop BY ELIZABETH CUMMINGS The May party, rather an innovation at De Paul, will be held in the Auditorium on the evening of May 1. The party is being sponsored by the Student Activity Council, and the members composing the committee are hard at work formulating plans whereby everyone may enjoy a pleasant evening. The committee in charge consists of: Kathfyn Wilson, Chairman Sophie Thomas, Larry O'Connor, Bob Romano, Mary Pirnat, Art Keeler, and John Quigley.Former Parties Successful Of course, everyone remembers with satisfaction the Halloween party held at the beginning of each year to imprest upon the freshies the fact that they are welcome. It was pronounced a great social success. Then came the mid-winter feature in the form of the Valentine party at which students of all departments met and mingled for an evening of fun. This left the spring season without any contribution toward a very informal party. But with the announcements of the May party by the S. A. C. the Spring gap is filled. Unique Decorations Planned The May party is to be modeled after the Hallowe'en and Valentine parties, and students of all departments are cordially invited to attend. The Auditorium will be tastefully decorated with flowers and spring colors appropriate to the day. The committee promises plenty of balloons and confetti. The main feature of the evening will be in the form of a huge, brilliantly decorated Maypole. Dancing, intercepted with other delightful features, should prove interesting to all who attend. Party Is Innovation This is the first time the S. A. C. has attempted a May Party, and they are anxious to establish it as an annual custom at De Paul. In 1927 a May Party was held on a small scale by the Uptown students, and it proved quite successful. Last year a May Party was planned, but the council was forced to abandon thef idea in order to give way to Father Coupal's ten cent dance. So this year plans are going right ahead toward a big party, and it is the hope of the committee that each and every student will be in attendance. Remember the date—May 1. A fee of twenty-five cents will be charged to the men. The girls will be admitted without charge. S. A. C. Meeting Monday Night The next meeting of the Student Activity Council will be held on Monday evening, April 15. The members of the council will meet in Room 1502 of the Downtown Building. A report will be made on the All-De Paul Dance to be held Saturday, April 6. Further plans for the coming May Party will be formulated.

DE PAULIA CHICAGO, ILLINOIS SPEECH STUDENT COUNCIL PARTY MAY 1 Quarterly At Last Fact Now on Press De Paulites may congratulate themselves on development along all lines of activity. There is one line, however, that has been overlooked. There has been no quarterly at De Paul since the last edition of the MinervalTour years ago. A" movement has been put in action by Professor J. Leo Sullivan to make the Quarterly a De Paul institution and to issue it regularly four times a year. Of course, this would be an impossible task without the co-operation if the student body. Next Issue Begun Contributions arc solicited and expected of all departments, from the Loop High to the Graduate school. If anyone feels the urge to unburden himself on any subject at all, his efforts will be welcome. All contributions will be passed on by the editors, who beg for material for the next issue. It is Mr. Sullivan's lofty purpose to make the Quarterly a representative literary effort in both qualtiy and quantity. May First Deadline The fact that it will rebound to their own glory if it is a success ought to be an added incentive. All types of writing will be accepted, especially criticisms of books and plays. The Quarterly would not be complete without its short story department. With all the talent displayed in Father Ward's short story course, the "contrib" drawer ought to be overflowing with ripping stories. All those who have any intentions of contributing1, are urged to hurry, for no material will be accepted after May 1. Install Downtown Chapel Soon The Downtown school boasts of many unique features, not the least of which is a new chapel to occupy a room on the thirteenth floor. The installation of this Chapel has long been the aim of the De Paul faculty. It is in the first stages of realization. This chapel will be one of the most beautiful of its type. The marble altar is being made in Italy. The base and lower half of it has already reached this country and the remainder is due in the near future. The chapel is expected to be a great boon for downtown students who WINDUP TO-NIGHT192911,April MOOT COURT SCENE MURDER TRIAL TOMORROW OF BY EDITH McGARRY Tomorrow of sor Buckley's class in Criminal Law will present the first of a series of mock trials to be held in the model court on the fifteenth floor of the downtown school. The "Moot Court," as it is called, is a thoroughly equipped courtroom—one of the many unique and interesting features of Downtown De Paul. The purpose of these trials is to give the potehtial lawyers practice in procedure and a chance to become acclimated to the atmosphere of a crowded courtroom. Only students of the law school will participate. They will defend and prosecute. A law student will also take the part of the defendant, John Smith. Municipal Judge Presides The case chosen involves a poisoning with potassium cyanide. The defendant is indicted for the murder of Lucy Jones. The students, repressing. the s^.te.. will, haje tJigiv case on the theory that the defendant was engaged in blackmailing several persons. The deceased was aware of his activities and threatened to expose him. So he killed her to protect himself. The state prosecutors will be Stan Pulaski and Ed Fahey. It will be up to the attorneys for the defense, J. Devanna and S. Sydny, to procure a verdict of "not guilty" for their client. The jury will be chosen from the ranks of all the downtown students. A judge of the municipal court will preside. All Students Invited The doors of the courtroom will be opened at 9 o'clock. The court will continue in session until twelve. All students are invited to attend and because of the novelty of the experiment and the interest that is current, it is safe to predict that the model court will be well filled. Alumni Elect New Officers Soon Alumni election of officers will be held Friday evening, April 19, in De Paul Cafeteria, 1010 Webster. New principles and policies will be adopted. Membership cards have been sent out. This is something never before done- and several hundred dollars will be collected on these cards.
