■ I Physical Sciences Lure Student. Into Igorian CuL Over the years, the Department of Physical Sciences has carried with it a mysterious reputation concerning the manner in which the teachers inspire their students to develop their sense of scientific curiosity. It is true. Led by a short-haired man in basic black with a plaid-clad assistant and his sidekick, Hank the Pig, the science staff has drawn the student into action with an unexplainable desire to explain the unexplainable. His interests are drawn to practical problems in the real world of science, which leads to the formation of a margarine smoother than Squeeze Parkay and a score of crowd-pleasing demos. But, after a short time, his tendencies turn to violence. He longs to shoot falling monkeys, and in observing the snake digest the mouse, he merrily exclaims, I'm so happy, I could pith a frog. Like all success stories, this too ends in tragedy. The student is overwhelmed by his own curiosity when he insists upon experiencing the dramatic reaction between hydrochloric acid and the palm of his hand as he gamely jots notes with the other hand.

History Given New Life In Loyola Hall The phrase making history come alive is a popular ideal of social studies books that is adhered to religiously on the third floor of Loyola Hall. The rebirth of historical events may have something to do with high coffee intake throughout the department, but it more probably results from the fact that the social studies profs have always had a knack for using visual aides to their fullest. Looking into the respective history rooms, we see this to be true. In Mr. Heywood's class, four or five sophomores subconsciously backstroke across the Delaware humming White Christmas in their dreams. Down the hall, about a dozen freshmen pretend to dodge World War I shrapnel. Everything seems to look so real. In Department Chairman Mr. Regis Lekan's psychology class, a student crosses his legs. Two more fiddle with their pens. Many more doodle ink blot figures and the like. Fr. Torina's seniors invade the seminar room to impress upon the minds of unattentive freshmen the importance of the French Revolution, utilizing a Harlequin technique to reenact the storming of the Bastille. The sun never sets on the British empire, nor will it set on Loyola Hall. CLASSROOM UFE 29
