Morrison, Holy Name cathedral rector, has accepted the chairmanship of the committee in charge of the drive. Father Morrison will preside at a committee meeting to be held Monday evening on the fifteenth floor of the loop building. Among those in attendance at the meeting will be Sherman Sexton and Dr. Alexander Pope. Following the meeting Monday night, the committee will begin the intensive work of book gathering.

NO DE PAULIA FOR TWO WEEKS On account of the semester examinations and the annual retreat, for both of which the De Paulia must prepare, there will be no issue of the newspaper until the week of February 5. Prof. Horton Writes Book On Economics 'Objective Tests" Will Be Off the Press This Week Publication of a new and original book of economics, "Objective Tests in Economics" was announced this week by Professor B. J. Horton. The book will be on sale at the University book stores the latter part of the week. The author is Chairman of the Curricula Committee on Economics here. "Objective Tests in Economics" is a series of fifty-two quizzes to be used either as class work or as assigned material. Analysis of the student's power "to comprehend, reason, judge, retain, and understand the various economic problems and situations" is accomplished ,by the use of eight types of quizzes. These range from the true and false to problem tests. The book is so arranged that each test may be removed as it is finished and handed to the instructor for correction. Definiteness Emphasized Definiteness as the most important quality of a good assignment is utilized by Mr. Horton. Definite instructions preface each exercise. As the author says in his introduction, "The student is left in no doubt as to what he is to do." The tests presented in the book are the results of four years of study. Every one of them has been employed in various classes in mimeographed form and, whenever a new class met, the tests were reorganized, ambiguities eliminated, directions clarified, and a greater variety of tests employed. Tests are Versatile "Objective Tests in Economics" may be used also as an aid to preparing assignments as well as for quiz .purposes. Too, it jmay be used as laboratory material or for review purposes. The tests themselves need not necessarily be used in the same manner. Some of them are relatively simple while others are more difficult the difference has been used in order to stimulate the bright, average, and slow learner. A graph for recording the student's progress is included in the book. Since this is the first book of its kind in existence the author states in his introduction, "It is the sincere hope of the author in offering these objective tests that further experimentation with these and other 'readily scorable examinations' may be carried on in the field of social and the other sciences." Judge Brooks Tells Rostrum of Boys'Court Judge Brooks of the Municipal Court of Chicago, who has had a good deal of experience in the Boys Court, gave the Evening Rostrum a comprehensive outline of the work of the court at a meeting of that group last Monday night.

Thursday, January 19, 1933 DIRECTOR Mr. David Itkin Hold Hello Tag Day and Hop Feb. 11 The annual Valentine Day dance will be held Tuesday, February 14, in conjunction with Hello Tag-Day.

Fran Curtin, chairman of the dance, and Marge Sullivan, in charge of the Tag day, are working together with their committee, composed of the coed members of the S. A. C. These girls are Alice Garritv, Mary Keane, Rita Keating, and Sophie Weber. The ordinary price for the gym dances is thirty-five cents, but a tag will admit students to the Valentine dance for twenty-five cents. It is an old custom to hold an annual Tag Day at De Paul, and it is hoped that its success this year will be greatly augmented by combining it with the Valentine Day dance. All day February 14, tags will be sold at both the Uptown and Loop departments. The promenade will be held at the gym from eight until twelve The proceeds of the day will be used to defray the expenses and make up any deficit borne by the Student Activity Council, Both the Valentine Day Dance and Tag Day have been successful in the past when they were run separately. But because of "conditions," the S. A. C. decided to combine the two this year instead of cancelling the Valentine dance which the Student body enjoy every year.

As the author says in his introduction, "The student is left in no doubt as to what he is to do." The tests presented in the book are the results of four years of study. Every one of them has been employed in various classes in mimeographed form and, whenever a new class met, the tests were reorganized, ambiguities eliminated, directions clarified, and a greater variety of tests employed. Tests are Versatile "Objective Tests in Economics" may be used also as an aid to preparing assignments as well as for quiz .purposes. Too, it jmay be used as laboratory material or for review purposes. The tests themselves need not necessarily be used in the same manner. Some of them are relatively simple while others are more difficult the difference has been used in order to stimulate the bright, average, and slow learner. A graph for recording the student's progress is included in the book. Since this is the first book of its kind in existence the author states in his introduction, "It is the sincere hope of the author in offering these objective tests that further experimentation with these and other 'readily scorable examinations' may be carried on in the field of social and the other sciences."

Thursday, January 19, 1933 DIRECTOR Mr. David Itkin Hold Hello Tag Day and Hop Feb. 11 The annual Valentine Day dance will be held Tuesday, February 14, in conjunction with Hello Tag-Day. Final plans for the affair, which has always been a popular event at De Paul, are now being made by the coeds in charge. As yet no orchestra has been chosen, but within a week everything will be arranged. Fran Curtin, chairman of the dance, and Marge Sullivan, in charge of the Tag day, are working together with their committee, composed of the coed members of the S. A. C. These girls are Alice Garritv, Mary Keane, Rita Keating, and Sophie Weber. The ordinary price for the gym dances is thirty-five cents, but a tag will admit students to the Valentine dance for twenty-five cents. It is an old custom to hold an annual Tag Day at De Paul, and it is hoped that its success this year will be greatly augmented by combining it with the Valentine Day dance. All day February 14, tags will be sold at both the Uptown and Loop departments. The promenade will be held at the gym from eight until twelve The proceeds of the day will be used to defray the expenses and make up any deficit borne by the Student Activity Council, Both the Valentine Day Dance and Tag Day have been successful in the past when they were run separately. But because of "conditions," the S. A. C. decided to combine the two this year instead of cancelling the Valentine dance which the Student body enjoy every year.

The play will be shown on February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the De Paul Little Theatre, tickets selling at fifty cents. M. Jay Romano, Louise Weisbecker, and Grace O'Connor will take the leading roles. The plav, written by Philip Barry, was shown as a movie during the past year. It is a story of modern American life, dealing with a blase rich family. Johnnie Case, the hero, loves Julia Seton, but the girl refuses to marry him because of his plan to take a holiday when he has acquired $30,000. Of all the characters in the play, only Linda, Julia's sister, is in sympathy with his belief that a man should retire early to enjoy his money. The others in the family cannot agree with Johnny, refusing to let Julia marry him unless he has the ambition to amass as large a fortune as they possess. The climax conies when Johnny elopes with Linda. Stars Take Part M. Jay Romano plays Johnny Case Grace O'Connor takes the part of Julia Seton while Louise Weisbecker is her sister Linda. Steve Callahan is the father and John Raftertv takes the part of the son Ned. The comedy interest in "Holiday" is supplied by "the beaming Potters," Heline Majewsha and Joseph Smith. Others taking part are: Irene Rile}', Howard Lenters and William Shea. Ann Harding was the featured star in the movie "Holiday" which was acclaimed by critics. It was chosen as one of the twelve best movies of 1931. David Itkin has been pleased with the rehearsals so far he expects the play to equal or even better the record made by the first show this year, "The Kingdom of God." The students taking part have all had experience before the footlights. Tickets for "Holiday" are on sale now.
