All resident students are invited to sign the lists which are posted on the residents' bulletin boards. Sophomores Qet To Take Tests March 8, 9 Two days of writing answers to assorted questions is the price the Sophomores must pay for two classless days, March 8 and 9. On these days, all students classi fied as Sophomores in March, 1955, report in the auditorium at 9 a.m.. for the Sophomore compre hensive examinations. Tuesday morning they will take English tests, and Wednesday morning they will take a General Culture test. Tuesday at 1 p.m. they will take a Contemporary Affairs test, and Wednesday at 2 p.m.. they will take the Mundelein Inventory, Parts I, II, and III. Purpose of the comprehensives is to test the participants in their knowledge of English usage, reading and comprehension, litera ture, science, mathematics, social studies, and fine arts. The Contemporary Affairs test is a measure of student under standing of recent social, scien tific, and cultural developments, and of her ability to make sound and critical observations about contemporary civilization. The Mundelein Inventory measures certain important outcomes of a Catholic col lege education, covers Chris tian principles of evaluation, contemporary Catholic af fairs and literature, and Cath olic worship, dogma, and morals. The tests are used for student self-appraisal and guidance. In dividual profile charts, on which test results are recorded, will be available in May.

Terrapins Do Whiffenpoof Five Star Swimmers Meet Club Standard We are poor little fish who have lost our fins. We're trying so hard to be Terrapins.

Missionary Sister Taught Russian, Chinese Children (Continued from Page 1, Col. 2.) the National University of Ireland before coming to the United States. Most interesting of Sister Mary Annunciata's mission ary experiences was teaching Orthodox Russian children in Shanghai for eight years. Sister also taught native Chi nese children, who were more eager to learn English and less suspi cious of their teachers than were the little Russians, who ultimately, however, came to be at ease with the Sisters. Founded as auxiliaries to the Columban Fathers, the Missionary Sisters have schools and Catecheti cal centers in Burma, the Philippine Islands, and among Mexican chil dren in California, and do medical work and social service in Korea and Hong-Kong. Much impressed by the friend liness of both Faculty and students, the Columban Sisters, whose clear- cut, soft-spoken English is a key to their European Ancestry, are as tonished to learn that March 17 is not a holiday in America. Disc Jockeys Lose Battle Of Boom'Booms The Boom-booms is a disease mure virulent than the plague, as maddening as the seven year itch, as frustrating as mumps on the night oj the prom, and more prevalent than the common cold. The most recent and highly pub licized occurrence of the malady was recorded in Alabama. Tzvo disc jockeys spinning some of the merry, morning, wake-up noise suddenly zvent berserk. They played Sh-iggity Boom for 7 hours behind locked doors. (This is probably the first case on record in which the lunatics locked themselves up.) Less publicised are the attacks suffered in the presence of any juke box. There you see victims run the iiamut of the Boom-booms from Sh-iggity Boom to Sh-Boom and even Boom-Sh. A less violent but more prevalent form of the disease attacks the heart as well as the mind. Loaded with conflicting advice to the lovelorn, the songs insist that you gotta have rock love but that you can't have a heart of stone. The attacks us ually result in hardening of the ar teries. You can spot victims of the latest epidemic, mainbo fever, at some distance. They display most significantly the galloping twitch characterised by a convulsive shrug of the shoulders and a strained leer or sneer. This latter symptom de pends on the natiz'e disposition of the sufferer. You will note, too, the speech de motions of the afflicted. They can be heard muttering nonsense sylla bles or phrases such as yatita. yatita, or crazyman-crazy. They answer vour horrified stare with an insane query Don't you dig gibberish man ? The cure is, of course, worse than the disease. The sufferer should be securely fastened to some immov able object. The radio should be just out of his reach. Then you should turn on the infernal machine to any disc jockey station and adjust the volume to loud. Lcaz'c the pa tient alone for 24 hours. If the rec ords don't cure him, the commercials certainly zvill. Auditions Begin For Variety Show Variety Show committees will start the ball rolling and choruses singing with auditions the week of March 14. If you sing, dance, knock on wood, play cards, or wish to display hid den talents, now is the time. If afraid of solos, remember the chorus line. Any ideas will be welcome. SAC Speaks Up . . . Give Some Thought To These Ideas, Measure Your Giving Several things that have hap pened in the past few weeks de serve serious thought. A Catholic college education is supposed to be preparing us for life. No matter what kind of lives we make for ourselves, if they are to be happy, they must involve our generosity, our willingness to give of ourselves. In nearly all of our classes this point is underlined some way; yet. in actual practice, many of us fail to live by it. Every day we have opportuni ties to show some of the education that we are receiving, and that we seem to believe is highly worth while. On many days, we fail to show positive evidence of it. It might be worthwhile for each of us to make an examination of conscience on the matter. May be then we would come to appre ciate the amount of work that goes into a well-acted play. Maybe we would realize that each of us should be sharing in the burden of work connected with different ac tivities. Maybe then we would take a lit tle interest in, give a little time til and be able to discuss such actffi tics and proposals about them it telligently. * * * The Glee club and the Orch* tra delighted their audience iritl music from La Boheme and other selections yesterday, and til Freshmen starred as hostesses I the ()pera Matinee and followirf tea. * * * Last Saturday the Mathemarn department did a public relatiw job for the college and an intel'ec- tual service to the high schools iri the annual Mathematics tournt ment.

As for the food, althoc Americans put great stress on: oric content and food values, Viet-Nam girls observe that ti use little flavoring.
