LOUISE CORTOPASSI Louise must have been born on a Friday because like F1'iday's child she is loving and giving? Her heart directs her actions while her head gives balance and wis- dom to her advice and decisions. Typical of this union of heart and head is her idealistic desire to use her theo- retical know-how to solve the problem of economic in- equality among people and nations. Louise feels for every person and in the same manner most admires 'Lpeople who feel. But her genuine empathy is tempered by wise real- ismg Louise is no Pollyanna. Raised according to traditional Italian fashion in the central valley of California, Louise brought to Dominican an appreciation of nature and a raft of Mold Italian stories and expressions. As she talks, Louise's face mir- rors her thoughts and her hands gracefully add emphasis to her speech, especially tales of an Italian homelife. It is easy to picture her at home in the kitchen of a ranch house. Only Louise can turn chicken into chicken caccia- tore or rice into a delicious pilaf-all in the Bolinas kitchen! Louise is devoted to informality and spontaneous fun. A trip to the ocean or to Bolinas is improved by an unex- pected drizzling mist at the moment of sunset. Easy-going and comfortable, Louise appreciates levis and a sweat- shirt, yet her affection for velvet demonstrates her quality of traditional femininity. She is a happy blend of intellect and emotion. 37

SUSIE CROFOOT Susie is notorious for her lack of reticence. Her 'chi there and a friendly wave greet everyone on campus from roommate to cleaning lady to president. No situa- tion seems to embarrass her, and she relishes the thought of teasing someone-anyone. She has little patience with those unable to laugh at themselves, and if disgusted or annoyed by another's pretentious, she is quite likely to tell him exactly what she thinks. Susieis lack of inhibition shows itself more often, though, in a gay or joking manner which keeps those .around her amused while slightly shocked. Exacting towards herself, Susie's personal standards are high, and her approach is whole-hearted, whether displayed by a joy in life or a panic over exams. Capable, but postpon- ing work until the last moment, she makes friends feel lucky by comparison. Somehow her schedule is always worse, her requirements greater, her sources fewer. She is likely to stay up all night and still avoid studying. Most content in a group, Susie extends her hospitality to include acquaintances as well as friends. Generous be- yond the point of reason, she is likely to spend her time in pursuit of another's enjoyment, sometimes to the dis- may of the guilt-ridden recipient. Everyonels friend, she is deeply touched when others show her affection. 39
