STUDENT The De Paul University Student Fieldhouse Drive for 1951 ended after the first week in April terminating an intensive five- week campaign. The drive, under the chairmanship of Chuck Kemp of the College of Commerce, produced total receipts of approximately $19,000. The slight drop in receipts under last year ' s results was attributed to a decrease in student enrollment. Last year ' s initial drive, guided by John Fitzpatrick and Ed Pazdur, netted $21,000. At the close of the 1951 Fieldhouse Drive, there was over $119,000 in the fund. The Alumni Hall will be a fieldhouse which will not only pro- vide a site for the University ' s athletic events, but will also pro- vide facilities for the University ' s cultural, social, and special events. Thus, all De Paul students will benefit from such a fieldhouse. 28

w r . ■ Officers of De Paul University ' s Alumni Association THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION With the encouragement received from alumni last year, the Alumni Association this year was able to set even higher goals in obtaining funds for the erection of a fieldhouse. The alumni office, now located on the fifth floor of the downtown building, was the point from which all student and alumni fund-raising drives were directed. Serving in his second year as alumni coordinator is the Rev. Thomas A. Mahoncy, CM. He was assisted in all efforts by his staff, Kay Crowley and Mary Canino. Serving in their second year on the alumni board of governors are John [■ Sullivan (Law ' 36) , Walter J. Madigan (Com. ' 28) vice-president; Oliva Cox (Arts ' 26) treasurer; and Helen Nichin Murray (Arts ' 35) secretary. Another important function of this office is to send to all alumni at graduation and periodically thereafter, question- naires which give an indication of the progress made by DePaulites after leaving school. Thus, when the student re- ceives his degree he knows that De Paid does not lose interest in him. Reverend Thomas A. Mahoney, CM., Alumni Coordinator 27
