Lrgsus BEHUNEKYS intellectual bent is toward philosophy. As a Sociology major, however, he also shows his interest in people. Though he is usually content to discuss any philoso- pher from Plato to James, he shows a distinct aversion to inetaphysicians and a decided penchant for logical positivists. .AUGUSTA BENEDICT is very active in Phi Tau Alpha affairs, having been vice-president and scribe. She divides the rest of her time between working in the library and interviewing for her held research work. Her naive reactions in re the latter have convulsed the class on many occasions. SoL BERKOXVITZ is the Hyoung manwith the piano who is partially responsible for the tremendous success of our first Varsity Show. Sol takes honor in music, the serious kind, but on the quiet has a famed collection of swing records. He is also an ardent sports fan of the Dodger variety. Lanky YVARREN BERLS is a devotee of crew caps and tall blondes. A Phi Omega Alpha man, like most college men he swigs beer and mouches cigarettes among other things. As a History major he anticipated America's entrance into the war and foresaw his destiny accordingly. Destination: the army. -ea Ns

lVlARION ARBEIT has already proved the practicability of her college education by securing a position as a Spanish trans- lator for the government. Anything Mexican attracts Marion whose home is fully adorned with colorful souvenirs from south of the border. She is also a Deanls Lister, secretary of the Spanish Club and a clarinet player in the Band. Like all Psychology majors MARGUERITE BARTZ has found at least seven types of insanity that lit her. Likes orange juice, Humphrey Bogart, and Dr. Spencer's ties. Marge can play piano, sing, sew, knit and cook, but she eschews domesticity for a career. Latent whim: to become an airline hostess. MAE BAUM's pungent puns aren't what got her on the Dean's List, but they certainly helped her win friends and influence people during l2 o'clock lunch in the cafeteria. Marion's a French major, wants to hike through the wine trails of France, but right now she's willing to settle for skiing in the Catskills. RED BEACHAM can usually be found crawling out from under his antiquated Ford or on the blowing end of a cornet. He's changed his major as often as a chameleon changes color, but he's finally decided to become an actuarian or an Ensign in the Coast Guard, see! J

1 Litre if an gf? Silk President of the Latin Club, on the steering committee of the Economics Club, DOROTHY BERNHARDT will be remembered for the energy and ability she put into establishing both of these societies. Although her hobbies switch from Virgil in the winter to tennis in the summer, Dorothy's real aim is to become an economist for the government. lN'IIMI BERNSTEIN majored in English with ever shifting voca- tional objectives. Still uncertain, she is waiting for the inspi- rational flash only a want-ad column can supply. She is fond of hosteling, square dancing and also skiing despite the fact that more than once she's appeared with a beautiful shiner acquired, she says, on ye snowy trails. In lab once, GERALD BESEN connected a Bunsen burner to the water outlet, but just the same hels a good chemist and a good egg. Jerry's mark of identification is the omnipresent slide rule, and his chief characteristic the constant query, Have you seen Dr. Blatt?,' Except of course, when he's ice-skating, bowling or playing tennis. QC Scholar STANLEY BIRNBAUM combines a dash of Einstein, from his Math background, with a smattering of jimmy Stew- art, from his army foreground. Top off with a crew cut and maraschino cherry. Stan fills in spare time with the Math and Fencing Clubs, and the nefarious activities of Sigma Kappa Chi.
