College Welcomes Two Staff Members Two Faculty members joined the staff at the opening of the second semester, Sister Mary Irma, B.V.M., who returns to the English department after a leave of absence for study, and the Reverend A.

Sister Mary Irma. who has just com pleted work toward her doctorate in English at the Catholic University of America, has contributed verse to America. Commonweal, the New York Times, the North American Review, Spirit, the Washington Post, and other journals, and is represented in several antholigies, notably In Praise of Nuns, and The Collection of Best Magazine Verse, by Allen Pater. Father Madgett, who has taught at Regis college, the University of Detroit, and Xavier university, has published a two-volume text in apologetics, entitled Christian Origin. Faculty Member Discovery of Cidture of Announces Formula for Amoeba Qroup Special progress in his two-year study of a disease-producing Amoeba was an nounced this month by Dwiglit L. Hop kins, Ph.D., of the Biology department. Dr. Hopkins has developed a solution for the culturing of the one-celled animals which is more efficient than the Ringer's solution formerly used for this purpose. An artificial solution is necessary be cause this particular species of Amoeba, the Entamoeba histolytica, lives in neither salt nor fresh water, but in physiological saline habitats. A fund for research purposes, given Dr. Hopkins by Mundele-in last Fall, en abled him to purchase the new equipment necessary for the furthering of his study. With the problem of raising the Ent- Stamp Each Day Will Elect G.I.

The winner of the contest, and two Biers up, will be announced at the ly, and the student who nominated the iner will receive a corsage.

J., chairman of the partment of philosophy at Loyola tiui- rsity, will address Mu Nu Sigma on b. 27 at 1 p.m. in the college the re. In this lecture Father Wellmuth will Wcizc the claims of scientism, which the belief that science and the scien- k method in the modern sense of le terms afford the only reliable kiral means of acquiring such knowl- fce as may be available about what- kr is real. This belief includes several character- features. The fields of various sci- ss, including such borderline and slapping sciences as mathematical- fsics, bio-chemistry, physio-chemistry, i mathematical logic are taken to be rtensive, at least in principle, with entire field of available knowledge.

Sister Mary Cecilia, who has recently published research papers in mycology, stressed the great need for trained my cologists and skilled taxonomists for the purpose of identifying the attacking fungi which are destroying thousands of forests annually. Noting that medical mycology is also in need of research, Sister quoted from an article in the Military Medical Man ual of Clinical Mycology, in which Vice- Admiral Ross Mclntire, surgeon general of the Naval Medical corps, writes Our tropical warfare, particularly in the bush jungles of the South Pacific has fostered fungus growth to a crippling degree. The departments of botany and zoology at De Paul are sponsoring a series of Saturday seminars, the first of which was conducted by Sister Ellen. O.P., of Rosary college. Dr. Wilbur M. Luce, professor of genetics at the University of Illinois, lectured on Feb. 17; Dr. Carl G. Hart- man, head of the Zoology and Physiology department at Illinois, will lecture on Feb. 24, and Dr. Han ford Tiffany, pro fessor of botany at Northwestern, will conduct the seminar on March 3. Translator . . . ' Mildred Welch '44 Seniors Prepare For Comprehensives All seniors will be required to take comprehensive examinations in their ma jor fields on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 26 and 27, from 9 to 12 a.m., in Room 405. Designed to measure the student's ac quaintance with her major field and to test the depth and soundness of her achievement in that field, the examina tions, originally 3 hours in length, were extended last year to six hours. Graduate Completes Research Problem Translates Source Material Of Oxford History Continuing a project begun in her senior year, Mildred Welch '44 has pre sented to the library a translation of the source material in the footnotes of the Oxford History of Music, Volume I, Pages 1 to 110. The notes of this volume, which treats of the history of musical theory in an cient and mediaeval times, are taken from such Latin authors as Aurelian, Remy, Regino, Hucbald, Erigena, as well as from the Musica Enchiriadis of Odo, and other mediaeval handbooks of music. A classics major and a Magna Cum Laude graduate. Miss Welch is contin uing her study of Greek and Latin on a scholarship at the University of Chicago. During her college days, Miss Welch, an honor student for four years, was a winner of the Freshman Debate contest, chairman of the Literature academy of the Sodality, and co-editor-in-chief of The Review. amoeba solved, Dr. Hopkins, with his co-worker, Kathleen Warner '43, M.S., also of the Biology department, will now proceed to the next step in his research that of studying the structure and life- functions of the disease-producing Ent amoeba so that science may know how to destroy it without injuring man at the same time. Dr. Hopkins' interest in the Amoeba was first aroused in 1923; since that time he has done research on four different species. The results he obtained won him a research grant in 1937 from the American Philosophical Society in Phil adelphia, which continued for three con secutive years. Just recently Dr. Hopkins completed a paper on vacuoles in Amoeba which will soon be published in a scientific jour nal. He lectures on that subject to the members of Northwestern university's Zoology club on Jan. 24. If bis study of the Entamoeba con tinues to be as successful as it has been, the findings, Dr. Hopkins admits, may be of great value in the better control of amoebic diseases from their direct source. Announce Annual Writing Contest Coincident with the nationwide cele bration of Catholic Press Month, the English department announces this week the annual Creative Writing and Art contest, awards for which will be an nounced at Commencement. All students in the College, whether or not they have written for any of the publications, are invited to enter the con test. Manuscripts should be submitted in Room 506 on or before April 3. To allow for variety in talent, the contest includes six divisions: essay, verse, short story, editorial, creative art, and contemporary criticism. Winners of last year's creative con test were Geraldine Thorpe, Mary Louise Hector, Jayne King, Mary Catherine Tuomey, Eileen Murphy, and June Tatge. Send Six Debate Teams to Indiana To National Meet Entrants Will Discuss Labor Disputes Six debate teams will represent the college at the National Debate tourna ment at Manchester, Indiana, next Fri day and Saturday. Colleges and universities at this meet will be debating the national question, Resolved that the Federal Government should enact legislation requiring the settlement of all labor disputes by com pulsory arbitration when voluntary means of settlement have failed, constitutional ity conceded. JoaiJ Collins, Lorraine King, Regina Milligan, Rita Stalzer, Marion King, and Virginia Perry will uphold the affirma tive, while Eddy Jo Noonan, Patricia Curran, Grace Chambers. Denise Dcver, Mary Claire Lane, and Ellenmae Quan will be negative speakers. Miss King and Miss Stalzer, sopho mores, debated Loyola on Feb. 16, and Miss Collins, Dolores. Corcoran, Miss Quan, and Miss Lane, freshmen, pre sented an exhibition debate for the Com merce club on Feb. 15. Meeting Detroit university at Munde lein on Feb. 9, Irene Kenney and Jeanne McNulty, affirmative, defeated Jerry Pendergast and Bob Diehl; and Patri cia Curran and Mary Ann Anderson won from the Detroit affirmatives, Anne Hughes and Anne Schultz. On Feb. 8. the same teams had met two Loyola teams and a Northwestern team in non- decision debates.
