As her report opens, time swings SAC Speaks Up About Lounges, Proms, Mixers A sure cure for examination bines is the Phoenix room. After spending just five minutes in this modem recre ational lounge, you will feel refreshed. We can show the Faculty how much we appreciate their gift by taking good care of it. A reminder the basket in which the ashtrays are emptied is just outside the double doors. Through the cooperation of the students, the depu ties have been relieved of a big job. Let's see how long we can keep them out of work. * * The SAC can bring your problems or suggestions to the Faculty only if they are aware of them. Please use the sug gestion box on the SAC board to let us know your ideas. i * * * Congratulations to the Freshmen on their successful mixer.

There is one consolation which might help they'll be all over in just one short week. back to the twelfth century. The place is Florence. Here history records for the first time the Doria family, then known as the De'Oria's. Four centuries later in Genoa the Doria's, now using their present name, are firmly established in commerce. Admiral Andrea Doria, during this cen tury, achieved notoriety and honor when he freed Genoa from foreign rule, and was given the title of Liberator of his country and Prince of Naples. As history progresses and World War II ends, a member of the Doria family, Prince Philip Doria, is mayor of Rome during the American occupation. At present he resides at the Palazzo Doria, in Rome. The year is '53 and reading the news papers one comes across a familiar name, Andrea Doria. The Liberator of Genoa has claimed more honors. A new Italian battle ship is christened in his memory. The Doria crest, a feathered eagle on a silver shield, the imperial helmet above with a brilliant red and blue plume on either side, is the prized pos session of Miss Doria and her family. Shortly after her parents' marriage in 1916, they came to the United States, bringing with them memories and rec ords of their ancestors. Words, Words, Words, Words They Are Essence of Loquacity i One fine day in January, I picked up a copy of Rogefs Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. The first word I came upon was essay ; accord ing to the illustrious author of this mam moth volume, essay is synonymous with trial how appropriate I thumbed over a few more pages idea caught my eye an idea is a phantasy how unfortunately true Roget coiuiders a topic food for the mind. In that case, this ertswhile writer has died (mentally) of starvation long ago. Slowly groped my way towards thought. Roget believes that one who engages in deep thought is exercising his intellect; he is engulfed in the lucubra tion of the brain. On the other hand, absence or want of thought is known to Roget as vacancy. Does anyone want a slightly used mind for rent? (Reasonable prices available on request.) Flipping over a few pages I came across littleness. Now I consider myself lit tle in mind or body the reader may draw his own conclusion. At any rate, the reader has Roget's permission to call me a chit, a pidwigeon, or to de scribe me as puny. Elfin, however I consider a more fitting description. Wit next bounced before my bleary eyes. Prom hence, instead of telling a person he is witty, I sliall tell him to go clseu-here with his buffoonery, or to throw his harlequinade at some other unsuspecting victim. But, dear reader, I do not wish to bore you with my connoisseurship of words. Loquacity is considered a virtue by few; even those few rarely enjoy the person whose tongue is hanging in the middle and wagging at both ends. Omega.
