He is a member of Blue Key honor fraternity and Delta fheta Phi legal fraternity. Last year he was one of the team which debated over the radio. He was instrumental in that group's success over the men -f-rom Victor's.— The reason for the long delay in judging the finances was due to the chairman's desire of having everything in writing. It took him two days of intensive search to discover a stationery store selling blue ink. The expert mathematician kept in De Paulia's files was found to have strained his mind in counting tiie straw vote last week so no exact figures are available. However, the net profits far exceeded those of the last De Paulia dance the staff ate on last year's profits for months and all had a well-fed appearance, No complaints have reached the committee, aside from the insistent clamorings of one freshman who claims some one made oif with his green cap.

Hallowe'en Dance Soon Art League Plans Nearly Completed Committees Named Executive Council Has Prominent Members LECTURES SOON Work of League Is Praised by Country Barely two months after its inception, resultant upon the decision of the Very Rev. Francis V. Corcoran, C.M., president of De Paul University, in conjunction with a group of prominent Catholic artists and art patrons of Chicago, that "Christian art must be championed by the protagonist on the battlefields of modern culture, the Catholic university, and De Paul would be most willing to be the advance guard," the De Paul Art League announced today the near completion of its plans for the imminent season. The recognition of art as a motivating force in the spiritual and aesthetic life of man, the evocation of the memory of the medieval Church whose sponsorship of art in all of its orthodox ramifications largely determined the cultural ethos of the succeeding centuries, and the perpetuation of the ideal of the twentieth-century Christian artist as a legacy for the ages, are the aims of this organization, a pioneer in its especial field, according to leaders in the movement. A council of seven, designated by Dr. Corcoran, comprises the executive committee. They are: Joseph P- Birren. internationally known landscape artist, decorated by European nations, founder and first president of the Art Institute Alumni association, and permanent exhibitor in nearly all museums of the West and Southwest Mrs. William J.

O'Shaughnessy, famous ecclesiastical artist, member of the municipal art commision of Chicago, representative of the United States at the International Art Exhibition at Paris in 1925, and official artist of the Eucharistic Congress at Chicago in 1926 Edward J. F. Timmons, well-known portrait painter and authority on Christian art and Mrs. Mary A. Zeh, founder and president of the Perboyne National Children's Art Federation.
