Simplicity to Mark inaugural
Of New President at G. u.
Very Rev. l. c. Gormon to Be Welcomed
At Informal Exercises This Month

Georgetown University's new
president, the Very Rev. Lawrence
Q. German, S. j., has expressed a
desire that his forthcoming inaugu-
raj ceremony be marked by war
time simplicity, the university an
nounced yesterday.
Guided by this wish, the George
town authorities are planning to in
stall Father German at an informal
conVocation in CASTOR Hall before
the graduation exercises January
81. In this way, the convocation
would serve the dual purpose Of per-
mittlng him to meet with the
faculties and student body for the
| first time.
Father Gorman's appointment
came about few days after the
start of the Christmas holidays,
WheS faculties and students were
dispersed. The holidays ended last
week and as soon as all of the
faculty have returned, the date for
the inaugural will be announced.
The Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j.,
chancellor and vice president, is in
charge of arrangements. Because
of the difficulties of travel, the in
auguration will be confined to the
faculties, students and local alumni
for the most part. Father Walsh
said a reception for faculty men,
bers and alumni would be held be-
fore the exercises.
Changes Are Frequent.
Looking back over Georgetown's
history, the simple plans in prepara-
ton follow the general rule in
changes of administration at the
university. Ordinarily the new
president simply arrived and took
over office" and at the first oppor-
tunity was given an opportunity to
address the student body and fac
ulty members of the various depart
ments. One of the principal rea-
sons for this informality, it was ex-
planned, is the fact that under the
Jesuit system changes in the presi-
dency of a university occur at in
tervals of only a few years.
The first formal inaugural at
Georgetown since the last World
War occurred in the case of Rev.
w. Coleman Nevils, S. j., and the
same procedure was followed when
the Rev Arthur A. OLeary, S. j.,
was installed. Delegates from COL
leges and universities throughout
the country attended both cere-
monies, as. we'll as representatives
of educational associations and
learned societies.
But Father German felt that war
conditions should govern matters re-
lating to his own Inauguration. For
NAL notices of the change in the
presidency will be sent to the various
educational associations to which
Georgetown belongs and also to uni
versities and colleges. Many alumni
from nearby States are expected to
come down for the event, but no
effort will be made to arrange for
anything other than a home af-
fair.
Georgetown will observe its first

ministrator Of the National Housing
Agency. It will deal with the role
of budget officers in guiding the
formulation and execution of Gov
eminent programs, with especial
emphasis on the work Of the Budget
Bureau.
Public Relation Courses.
Recognizing the need for effective
Government relations with the pub
lie, six courses will be offered in
public relations and will be given
by Adjunct Prof. William Dow Bout
well, James F. Grady, President
Paul F. Douglass, Ernest Bryna, Roy
E. Stryker and Frank H. Mortimer.
In business administration the
following courses will be available:
Introduction to business admin
stration, money and banking, labor
and economic order, basic problems
in transportation and communi-
cation, and business law. DR.. Howard
Piquet will continue his well-known
courses in economic theory and con-
temporary economic thought, while
basic courses In economics will be
given by Dean Ketchum.
DR.. Corwin Edwards, economic con-
sultant antitrust division, Justice
Department.. returns to the Ameri-
can u. faculty this semester and
will give course on Industrial
Organization and Public Policy"
For Ministers and others concerned
with the interactions of faith and
history. Prof. Ernest Correll will
offer Religion and Culture deal
ing with Christian ethics in the
western world.
In the field of social economy,
the university is offering courses
in public assistance, current prob
lens in public health and medical
care and the Beveridge plan. The
evening division of the College of
Art and Sciences, at Massachusetts,
and Nebraska avenues NV, will
offer additional courses in art, biol
ogy, chemistry, education, English,
languages, library science, mathe-
matics, physics and secretarial
science.

mid-year commencement at the end
of the month, the January gradua-
ton being necessitated by the ac-
celeration program under which the
university is functioning. For this
reason the graduating class will be
comparatively small, representing
only the College of Arts and
Sciences, the School of Law and the
School of Foreign Service. The
medical and dental departments, it
is understood, will hold separate ex-
ercizes in the spring.
The war has also taken its toll of
Georgetown undergraduates. In
each school a number of students
who otherwise would graduate at
this time are noted In the records as
absent. in the armed services" The
Rev. Stephen F. McNamee, S. j.,
dean Of the college, is in general
charge OF arrangements for the jan
uary commencement.
Naturally, the occasion will have a
wartime note. While the university
has not yet announced the speaker,
it Is understood the choice will come
from the armed services. Father
German also will confer several
honorary degrees at the commence
ment but in keeping with George
towns general policy, the number is
limited.
In general, commencement week
will be along former lines, with SEN
ior exercises and the usual reception
for alumni followed by the gradu-
alton exercises. January 81 falls on
Sunday. Due to the war, however,
alumni participation is expected to
be restricted to those residing in
Washington.

GIorifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Are you too tired at night to
brush your hair a needed hundred
strokes for a healthy sheen and
clean scalp?
Then try the favorite trick OF
Valentino, ultra-chic dress designer
as famous for her glowing golden
red hair as for her romantic crea-
tions-who also finds she never has
the patience to brush her hair at
night She carries a pocket-slze
brush, as well as a comb, in her
hand bag.
During the day, whenever her
hair needs arranging, whether it
be before going out to lunch or
when she dashes into the powder
room to repair her makeup after
dining, Valentino gives her hair a
few quick strokes.
A brush, she says, is very bit as
adequate for arranging simple
Golf as is a comb. Besides, she
points out, it prevents dust-filmed
lacklustre hair
When buying pocket brush,
choose one with stiff bristles and
d short handle, SO that it will fit
easily into your hand bag. And,
used daily, you won't have long to
wait for results.
