DePaulia (DePaul University, Chicago, IL), 1929-04-18

              HOLD YOUR HORSES FOR— KIRSCHTEN AND BENEDIX EDIT HE-MAN PAPER Loop, Uptown Represented by Capable De Paul Pen Wielders Prank Benedix, for the past few years member of the staff of De Paulia, and Bob Kirschten, reporter for the Chicago Tribune will place a good old-fashioned He-Man edition of De Paulia upon university newsstands on May 2, Thursday. Because of the almost phenomenal success of the recent Coed number of the school newspaper, the newly appointed He-Man editors have determined to bend every effort to make the annual male sheet a rousing, whooping, paper. They should be successful. Every indication promises a He-Man De Paulia that will be a "wow" both boys have had experience in throwing copy out of typewriters, and both are well acquainted with newspaper make-up. Benedix Is "Nico Nevim" Benedix, a member of the evening Pre-lagii-. a'a.-.a, h-s-been ai of t+i leaders in the "night life" classrooms of De Paul for a long while. During his years as a Loop High student, Benedix found opportunity to contribute to De Paulia, and under the pseudonym "Nico Nevim" became recognized by all De Paul. He is a member of the Alpha Rho Gamma Fraternity. His extensive knowledge of Loop School matters should admirably equip him for the HeMan position. Kirschten Is W.G.N. Reporter Bob Kirschten, member of a family well known to De Paul, spends his time of evenings searching for things to fill the columns of the W.G.N. He is a Junior in the College of Liberal Arts, and a believer in the theory that a man should try a little bit of everything and a good bit of one thing. The newspaper is his game, and he knows how to play it. He was a semi-finalist in the De Paul Oratorical Contest, and his speech to "debunk" the Constitution was given much "play." The institution of the He-Man edi tion was introduced last year under the reign of the Griffin-Burke. Jack Wright and Jack Donohue were editors of the '28 number. "Prince There Was" to Be Real Show With rehearsals proceeding in a very efficient manner, the Wig and Mask show, "A Prince There Was," is beginning to look like a real show. If present conditions are any guide, the show will be one huge success from a dramatic standpoint. On Friday, a concerted drive will commence on tickets. Students are urged to remember that all seats are reserved, and that those purchasing tickets first will naturally secure the best seats. If you are unable to secure tickets from the member of your class selling them, choice seats may be obtained by writing Wig and Mask. Room 1002, 64 E. Lake St. De Paul Quarterly Is Out This Week De Paulites are about to have their anxiety quieted concerning the Quarterly, for the first issue will be out this week. Under the direction of Mr. J. Leo Sullivan of the English Department, the magazine has been carefully planned to represent the best work of all departments. The exact contents however, will not be divulged until the publication is in the hands of the students. The students and friends of De Paul have exhibited a decided interest in this new activity and have proved their interest by their subscriptions. There may be a number of students, however, who have not had the opportunity of subscribing for the magazine when the solicitors went through the classes. These may obtain a copy of the first issue by sending fifty cents to Steve Anselmo or Joe Pope at the Uptown school. ALL DEPARTMENTS PICK COMMITTEE FOR SENIOR RALL The senior ball committee has already been selected and the member have immediately launched into their work with hopeful interest and vigour. The Evening Law has chosen Louis Jarton, William Fischer and Samuel Lissner the Day Law, Joseph Devenna, John Schrrelisse the Commerce, Miss Searles and Mr. Lukas the Arts, Inez McGivern, Larry O'Connor and Mr Johnson. They will hold a meeting regularly every Monday to discuss the plans for the dance. Big Event For Seniors It is the biggest event of the year for the seniors and it is distinctly a closed affair and only one hundred and fifty bids are available for the dance. One of the strict regulations put out by the committee is that no ticket is to be sold without cash payment. This is to avoid the necessity of having some of the men stationed at the door bothering about change and thereby missing a good many of the dances. This plan will also make it easier for the students attending, for it will eliminate the long line and make it possible for them to gain entrance sooner. The favors which will be given to the girls attending will be kept secret until the night of the ball, but they can certainly be assured that they will be more than delighted with (Con'td on Page Six) Pick Miss De Paul Before May 10 The beauty contest, with more than fifty entrants, will be judged shorty, and De Paul can settle back for the summer vacation with nothing to worry about except examinations. Flo Ziegfeld, chosen to pick Miss De Paul, is "Way Down East" and the pictures will have to catch up with him. However, the "glorifier of the American girl" will do the judging in plenty of time to satisfy the curiosity of the Senior Ball crowd on the evening of May 10, when the winners will be introduced to the university. DE PAUL!A Vol. 8, No. 21 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS April 18, 1929 THIRTY-EIGHT PASS STATE LAW EXAM ANNOUNCE "HE-MAN" EDITORS JURY SAYS "NOT GUILTY" IN BIG MURDER TRIAL Judge Padden Wields Gavel in Fierce Battle of Attorneys The Hon. Frank M. Padden, one of the ablest jurists on the Municipal Court of Chicago, presided at the trial of John Smith, for the murder of Lucy Jones by poisoning, in the "Moot" courtroom in the downtown Law School of De Paul University on last Friday morning. The court was called to order by Mr. Va Salle who had been appointed sheriff for the occasion, and after the preliminary trial call of motions the murder trial opened. The state was represented by Stan Pulaski and Ed Fahey and the defendant by ,T. Devanna and E. Sydney.State Case Is Able Prosecutors Pulaski and Fahey ably presented the state's case, wuicli wfarjfe ft \\f/f entirely on a chain of circumstantial evidence, nevertheless pointed directly to the guilt of the defendant. Many bitter clashes arose between the attorneys on both sides, particularly over the testimony of Miss Bernice Lamm, who swore the deceased, Lucy Jones, made a dying statement to her to the effect that the deceased was poisoned by the defendant. Little Kate Meehan, the six year old daughter of Professor Meehan, held the court-room tense while the attorneys on both sides were testing her competency to testify. Judge Padden ruled that the child could testify. Advance Suicide Theory Judge Padden won the gratitude vened from time to time to suggest proper procedure to the contesting August 6th attorneys. At the close of the trial Judge Padden spoke to the students and congratulated them upon the way the case was tried, saying that the evidence was presented better than in many trials he had presided over in the Municipal Court. "Not Guilty"—Jury The jury deliberated over the evidence for several minutes and brought in a verdict of "Not Guilty." The "poison murder mystery" was the first of a series of practice trials that will be presented by the students of the Law College before June. Professor J. J. Buckley's class Art Students Hear Professor Kerwin Two hundred and fifty students of the College of Liberal Arts heard Professor Jerome Kerwin of the University of Chicago deliver a lecture on "The City Manager Form of Government for Chicago" on last Thursday, April 11. The lecture, held under the auspices of Professor Charles O'Donnell and his Political Science Club, proved very interesting to the students of the Osgood Campus, most of whom stayed over from morning classes to hear the brilliant Midway teacher. Aside from his discussion of the "City Manager" system of municipal government, Professor Kerwin devoteil some time to an exposition of the ideals of the Calvert Association, of which he is a leading member of the Middle West. Mr. Kerwin shortly will make a trip to Germany for a study of Ger man municipal goverment.

In coming through the difficult and complete State exam, the thirty-eight lent especial emphasis to the good old theory that graduates of De Paul's Law School are the best lawyers in the world Uphold Records The records of De Paul graduating classes in the Law Exams were ably upheld by the March entrants from Lake Street, for seventy percent of the De Paul men taking the examination were successful. Against the fifty-three percent that is the average for the general entrants, the De Paul mark is very gratifying to Dean William F. Clarke, who has labored for years to establish and maintain the high standards of the Law .College. Here Are Winners The "perfect thirty-eight" are: W. H. Anderson, H. M. Asker, R. A. Barnett, N.

Exiled Archbishop Is De Paul Guest The Most Reverend Jose Maria Ganzalez of Valencia, archibishop of Durango Mexico, and his secretary Reverend David G. Ramirez, are at present the guests of Father Levan at De Paul University. Monday morning they paid their respects to His Eminence Cardinal Mundelein. The visitors are in the United States, exiles from their native land, hoping and praying for the day when they may return to labor again among their own people. The stay of the archbishop and his secretary is reminiscent of past history when ten years ago the Vincentian Fathers here were hosts to Archbishop Ruez and Bishop Plancarte.Professor Hadd Sick with "Flu" William G. Hadd, professor of history in the College of Liberal Arts, has for the past ten days been confined to his home with influenza. At present it is unknown as to just when he will be able to resume his duties at De Paul.
