PRESIDENT SHOWN AS AMERICAN HE-MAN By BYRNE J. HORTON On March 4, 1933, by mandate of the American people, a real American he-man, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was placed in the highest office of the land. It was imperative that he be a man who must be possessed with the outstanding qualities of the he-man to dispel the darkest clouds from the human horizon. President Roosevelt understood the problems before the nation: industry was at a standstill, people were unemployed, banks were closed, human suffering existed as never before, in fact the government itself was on the verge of bankruptcy. The country looked to him because here was the man who from his early youth was courageous, decisive and last, but not least, open-minded. He Is Courageous In the summer of 1921, a catastrophe happened which would have completely demoralized a weaker character. An attack of infantile paralysis left Mr. Roosevelt in the fall of 1921 a helpless paralytic. Next to nothing was known of the disease which had destroyed the pattern of his life and it left him to find the ways which would lead to his recovery. So Mr. Roosevelt began that slow climb back to health and in the determination that led to his recovery developed that will power and that activity of mind which is now the chief expression of the need for action. As Governor of New York, he urged unemployment insurance, old age pensions, child labor laws, and state control of public utilities. As President of the United States he cheerfully accepted the responsibilities of the New Deal. He is committed to an ambitious economic program. He wants an industrial democracy based upon individual initiative. Industry is to be self-governing, with labor having a determining voice in its objectives, and service to the citizens to be its ultimate goal. He Is Decisive No lackadaisical policies enter his mind. He is a first-rate executive. The administrative mind must act, and act promptly. He cannot postpone. He cannot put off for tomorrow what he can do today. The Chief Executive must decide in advance of the day of judgment. He dare not adopt the methods of a jurist holding a postmortum account. Mr. Roosevelt, as a real successful he-man executive, acts promptly in emergencies, like a great commander in the field of battle. He Is Open-Minded It would be utterly inconceivable to think of Mr. Roosevelt possessing the foregoing qualities of a real he-man without recognizing the fact that he is not immune from making mistakes. Mr. Roosevelt himself has said over the radio that he would be most happy in being correct sixty per cent of the time. This is not a weakness. It shows strength of character. We must admire him all the more for his open-mindedness—his readiness to change his tactics without stopping to apologize when he finds that there have been errors. This has been done. The American Idol In President Roosevelt, the American Idol, we find a man with unbounded courage and cheerful self-confidence a man who is affable, modest, unassuming and approachable a man whose speech is always tactful and sympathetic, and at no time is it disparaging or defiant. In a word, he is the exemplar of the real American he-man. On May 25, the Law Seniors celebrated their Annual Senior Dinner date at the Medinah Michigan Club. With Assistant Dean Taft as toastmaster the evening went along smoothly in its interesting round of speeches and entertainment. Following a good meal was the introduction of De Paul men who are now Judges. They were Jay Schiller and Harold O'Connell of the Municipal Court, Probate Judge Toman of Du Page County and Harry C. Kinne, Probate Judge candidate. As first speaker Dean Clarke of the Evening Law School discussed the situation as to the fitness of law schools in their training of the prospective lawyers. Having been previously announced as being unable to attend, Dr. Corcoran very pleasantly surprised the ENIOR LAW DINNER HELD AT MEDINAH gathering by appearing with several guests. These were Father Flavin head of the Vincentian Order, Dr. Bauer of Kendricks Seminary and Father Ordonez of De Paul. Following was a short speech by "that grand old man," Dr. Warvelle, who discussed the duty of the lawyer to himself and the community. Then after introduction of Judge J. Burke of the Circuit Court followed the introduction of the guests of honor, Federal Judge Evan Evans and Justice De Young of the Illinois Supreme Court. Judge Evans made a thorough speech on the applicability of the Constitution to the present state of affairs. Judge De Young then made a short and humorous speech on his relations with the Illinois Bar.

EARLY DE PAULITES WERE REAL HE-MEN BY OLD TIME HE-MAN I accept with pleasure the invitation to pay my respects to the HeMen of De Paul. I salute especially that long line of graduates beginning with the new appointed Auxiliary Bishop, William David O'Brien, and including so many prominent priests, lawyers, doctors, captains of industry, and educators who have left the stamp of their virility on the school and its traditions. It should never be forgotten that De Paul began and flourished as a he-man school. The old St. Vincent's "Student" under the editorship of Joseph Donovan, had the punch and tang of masculine journalism. It is unnecessary to speak of the brute male force which, directed by the do-oi -die spirit, has from the very beginning made De Paul, if not a champion, a formidable contender, at least, in all athletic contests.The men of De Paul are here by the right of priority and pre-eminence. In many scholastic activities, such as oratory, debating, dramatics, journalism, classical scholarship, belles-lettres, the he-men of (Continued on Page 4) Paul Rowe and Anna Marie Williams Commerce School Lapp Treats of Law-Labor at Junior Bar Dr. John A. Lapp, the most eminent guest speaker the De Paul Junior Bar Association has thus far been able to invite to its weekly meetings, addressed the Junior Bar last Tuesday, May 1st. on "The Law and Labor." Dr. Lapp was one time Professor of Sociology at Marquette U. he has given special lectures at various European Universities was formerly a member of the National Catholic Welfare Council, and is at present chairman and presidential member of the National Bituminous Coal Labor Board, and also member of the National Bituminous Coal Labor Board, and in these capacities a national figure.Administrative Law Dr. Lapp pointed out the difference between the man who is "just a lawyer" and the man who widens his horizon beyond the confines of law merely, into the fields of economic history, philosophy and social welfare. He showed how the field of law is ever widening and unfolding through system of administrative bodies formed by congress and state legislatures to act for the law-making body, thereby enlarging the scope of the lawyer's clientele, and making it doubly important for the lawyer to have a good background, and to keep in close touch with current events in law and labor. Dr. Lapp then explained the system of procedure now used in settling disputes between employed and employee in the coal industry, and the course of an appeal in such a dispute from a joint committee of miners and operators. PREXYS SELECT WING LEADERS TATE'S BAND PLAYS One of the most successful social seasons in the crowded history of De Paul will be climaxed on Saturday evening, May 5, when the enthusiastic Senior Class of '34 attends en masse within the spacious luxury of the Grand Ball Room at the Lake Shore Athletic Club. Co-Chairmen Marge Sullivan and Harry Redfield have fairly completed all arrangements, the significance of which lies in the fact that the uniqueness of the Prom is thus assured. The Senior Class presidents representing the various departments of the institution have finally divulged their respective choices to lead the wings of the Grand March. Following an age-established custom, the Liberal Arts section will advance to the fore, while the other wings will take up a position on the flanks. Fitzgerald Leads To Paul Fitzgerald, Uptown prexy, accrues the honor of taking a front position. He will be accompanied by Aiiss Kathleen Sullivan, feminine lead in the "Say It With Music" opus. The other wing commanders, Faul Rowe from the Commerce department and Norman Silverman of the The current He-Man Edition of the De Paulia is fortunate in having its pages interspersed with the writings of some of the country's leading sportsmen and humorists. In the first category we may well place our De Paul alumnus, Clarence Carey, now a prominent sports scribe for the Herald and Examiner. And in the same column is represented Chick Evans, national golf champion of recent years and noted authority on the subject. In regard to the second group we can point with pride to such recognized comedians as Fred Allen, Roy Atwell, and the two doctors, Pratt and Sherman. Allen, whose intense Four hundred graduates, students and friends of De Paul University gathered in the Red Lacquer Room of the Palmer House on Saturday evening, April 28, to attend the testimonial banquet given in honor of Most Reverend William D. O'Brien, D.D., first De Paul graduate, on his appointment as titular bishop of Calinda and auxiliary bishop of Chicago. Many noted luminaries were present to pay their respects to the new prelate.The dinner was sponsored by the Administrative officials of De Paul and received the full co-operation on the part of the undergraduates and the various civic and ecclesiastical groups of the city. Luminaries Comment Dr. Frances V. Corcoran, C.M., president of the University, delivered the introductory address, in which he expressed his pleasure and congratulations on having De Paul's first graduate appointed to such a position of reverence, honor and prestige. Monsignor William R. Griffin, pastor of St. Andrew's Church of Chicago, acted very capably in the capacity of toastmaster, and regaled the several Law division, have announced their partners to be Miss Anna Marie Williams and Miss Helen Lee Brown respectively. Erskine Tate and his dusky bandsmen will provide the orchestration for this gala festivity. The Harlem tunesters have taken choice selections from their snappy repertoire and will be in fine fettle to dictate the evening's rhythm. The distribution of favors, always an important feature of any formal promenade, has been surrounded with a shroud of mystery, through which all efforts to penetrate have been rebuffed. This attitude of secrecy, however, bodes well for the worth of the much desired special articles. New School Song Another of the many appropriate novelties to be introduced at the brilliant affair will be the marshal tuning of the new school song, written recently by Henry Rago. This new battle air, played to swift Harlemite rhythm, should arouse within each and every De Paulite a feeling of intense school patriotism and should make the dance a greater success as a result. FEATURES WRITTEN BY NOTED SCRIBES study of "Ham" by Rye has fitted him most nobly for a bench on the Cut-Rate court, has contributed a bit of sprightly humor in the for of epistolary advice. His co-partner in crime, Roy Atwell, must account in the final judgment for his characteristically jumbled letter to one of our He-Man editors. And lastly, the famed radio duet of Pratt and Sherman has divulged its hitherto secret opinion on "getting roped in." Finally apart from the humorous hub-bub arises the serious contribution. Seymour Simonds, daring war pilot, submits a ream of excellent copy, while sundry litterati address brief quotations designed to keep He-Men in the running. NEW BISHOP FETED AT DEPAUL BANQUET personages present with his many and varied witticisms. Marshall V. Kearney, a former graduate, acted as the official spokesman for the Alumni, while Father James M. Murray, popular professor of Greek and Astronomy at the Uptown Liberal Arts College, represented the faculty, and reminisced011 the early days of De Paul when it was St. Vincent's College. Bishop Replies In response to the congratulatory remarks by the speakers, the Bishop delivered an impromptu address thanking everyone for the extreme interest manifested in his welfare and recalling old times with Mark J. Sheridan, his confere and fellow scholastic of the class of '99. The program was interspersed with a delightful piano solo by Miss Helen Costello of the De Paul School of Music. Michael Wilkomirski, renowned student of the noted Serge Tarnowsky, rendered a brilliant violin solo. The musical program was concluded with a vocal solo by Mr. Reinaid Werrenrath, popular radio baritone and a member of the faculty of the Music School. His solo was the recipient of tremendous applause which elicited an encore.
