S.. of the Econo mics department, recently returned from Europe where she served as the Uni ted States' Catholic representative at the International Student conferences and as a teacher in France. Miss Cassidy declares that living conditions among the student groups are deplorable. Many young men anel women, in order to continue their stu dies, sell their blood, live in cellars, and stand in line for hours in order to use a slide rule. Inflation of an un precedented type exists everywhere. The average worker's wage in France amounts to 50 a month. Milk and oranges are a thing of the past for the general public. Miss Cassidy's picture of gloom is brightened, however, by her emphasis on trie complete European revival of religion, led by great religious leaders, whose admirable work is noticed every where among the industrial workers, the farmers, the intellectuals, and the students.

Patricia McCarthy '50, above, is new ly appointed head of Kappa Omega, the Sorority of Service. Kappa Phi Omega Seeks Opinions On Entertainment The Entertainment Board wants student opinion of plays, books, radio programs, movies, and floor shows, ac cording to Patricia McCarthy, newly- appointed director of Kappa Phi Omega, the Service club. The Boarel also neetls students to serve on its committees, but school- wide opinion on current entertainment will be solicited throughout the year. Kappa Phi Omega, the sorority of service, is based on a voluntary ac tion and personal convenience plan. Freshmen and sophomores are auto matic pledges.

IV yiARY Alma Sullivan though she * * should do something to brighten her rather drab looking locker, number eight in the Sophomore section.
