A comparative study of nervous be haviour is being undertaken by the classes in General Biology. Electric shock and dilute acid arc being used as stimulants.

(Story on Page 1.) uscrapinas This is the time of the year when beguiling green leaves wave outside classroom windows, and thoughts of Dante and laws of diminishing re turns are replaced by dreams of sun ny days at the beach and picnics in the woods. The wanderlust catches peo ple in its ethereal grasp and they wil lingly follow its urge to travel. Sara Campbell packed her bags and traveled to Cleveland for a week-end at John Carroll university. Southern Illinois was the destination of Carol Walsh and Noreen Finley as they boarded a train, April 27. They were the guests of Bradley university for the week-end. Harry James entertained the dancers at Notre Dame's Junior Prom, April, 28. Paula Long and Lucille Boldt were among those who journeyed to South Bend for the dance. Beth Carey flew to Washington D.C. for the Georgetown university Senior Prom. Even though soft May breezes are bewitching, the call of the theater proved stronger to a number of Mun delein girls. Loyola's premier performance of the Golden Touch, a musical comedy soon to be produced on Broadway, amused Joan Lamb, Claire Healy, Elizabeth Barres, Mary Ellen Mullaney, Cath erine Madden, Claire Hillyard, Eliza beth Bliss, and Angela O'Hara. Drama students Mary Patricia An derson, Marjorie Prendergast, Fran cine Blaszynski, Carol Hohmeier, Anne Llewellyn, and Carol Kilkenny viewed the production with appraising eyes. South Pacific is still high on the list of theater favorites with Mun delein girls. Maryanna Griglik, Mary Rita McDermott, Virginia Volini, Sal ly Wasserman, and Patricia Farrell were captivated by the story of Nellie Forbush and Emile Lebec. Northwestern's WAA-MU show hon oring the school's centennial was shown from April 30 to May 5. Joan Curtis, Mary Therese Jordan, and Marjorie Coughlin witnessed the musical re vue on the Northwestern campus. Returning to their alma mater were Rosemary Lind and Muriel Melcher who saw The Immaculata's production of Jane Eyre. The tragic gentleman with the, over developed proboscis (not Jimmy Dur ante) amused Mary Catherine Davy and Marie Marnan, who saw the Acad emy Award winning movie, Cyrano de Bergerac. The New York City Ballet caught the attention of Dorothy Spratt and Joan Hardwicke, while Betty Jean Murphy attended a lecture by Dean Mannion, of the Law School at Notre Dame. Spring seems to bring out the ter- pischore in people, although gambolling on the green has been replaced by dances at Loyola. The Inter-Fraternity ball was the highlight of the season for Mary Carey, Loretta Gibbons, Ei leen Duhig, Helen Schneider, Marilyn Futter, Betty Sittler, Elaine Muchair, Anne O'Reilly, Annamarie Kepner, and Helen Stewart. Also enoying the music of Ralph Marterie were Eunice Shackelford, Irene Pfaff, Mary Graff, Joy Fanelli, Geraldine Schiavone, and Marion and Marcella Farrell. Another Loyola dance saw Joan Hirsch enoying herself. She attended Loyola's ROTC party. Rita Daly, junior, hears wedding bells wafted in the spring breezes. She received her ring from Norbert Sween ey of Chicago and plans to be married after graduation. The umpire calls play ball, tulips pop into bloom, plum trees fill the air with the smell of delicate white blos soms. Faculty members call for book reports and research papers, though, just as if it were mid-winter.
