Thrills And E Dominate Pla By LUCRET; (Written during a performai presentation of "Oh, Promise Me,' Is there anything quite so t stage? When you sit quietly i 1bstage, and see the litter of grei tumes, and props as if for the f There are people out there wh lems, to get away from the hi to you, individually and as a group to make them become part of a dream world for awhile. And then you are behind the .footlights and the dream world of make believe spins about you. Lines come quickly. You're caught in a spinning web, straining to please the audience, but forgetting inything but the action that - begins to seem so real, even though you've been through it a thousand and one times. The struggle and work of the rehear sals are forgotten. This is it! All too soon it is over. The #udience applauds as you bow for the curtain call. The dream world fades, and once again, you're just plain Jane Jones or Bill Smith. It takes a while to get I back to normal and in the mean- a time, you feel happily insane for i quite awhile. Everyone is talking i at once. It is several hours before you I realize that you've done it. The r play is over and they liked it. Your only thought is when's the next one ? You're ready to go again because you're STAGE STRUCK!

It's up Good Habits May Be Key To Learning By BEN McELVEEN Whenever you find yourself fliding off into daydreams or ir -elevant meditations while trying .o study, try this. Stop entirely tnd stand before an open window, >r take exercises. Then get to vork with determination. Do you find an increased amount >f material to be learned, over hat which you had to learn in uigh school, freshmen? Here are i few other brief notes or study ng, thinking through subject natter, and remembering it. Re nember that the main way to im >rove memory is to improve the nethods of learning. Briefly, stop frequently during rour studying and check up what rou have learned. Compel your ;elf to recall what you are learn. Tg. Spend about 40 per cent of ,our time reciting to yourself. Or, invent some artificial scheme or learning and recalling material which lacks rational association, och as alliterations or acrostics. 'hat is, connect definitions by iimilar letters or similar sounds. For example, suppose you want .o remember that the height of he volcano of Fujiyama is 12,365 eet. Simply remember that there kre 12 months and 365 (lays in the rear. Another important rule is read -apidly. Beware of "dozing" tudy, or holding a book in front of you and looking at the words. ;'orce yourself to read rapidly. 7hen stop and try to remember vhat you have read. This may ake practice, but inevitably will ave time and gain much. In closing, the spacing of study ime is another secret. Experi nents have shown that it, is better ,o memorize a certain amount of naterial at intervals than to try o complete the job at one 5itting. However, in the event that some )f you freshmen need further cnowledge on this subject, check mn H. W. Hepner's "Psychology Applied to Life and Work" in the ibrary. The condensed method ibove is a part of his book. MIusic Frat Came To USC Campus In '48 Delta Mu Chapter is the local ~hapter of Delta Omicron National 'rofessional lMusic Fraternity.

PROFESSOR STEPHEN KUL the Iron Curtain to a Carolina clasi Prof. Kulik After Years Columbia 'i By DEM Staff Il "Very agreeable." That's mathematics, Dr. Stephen Ku and Carolina. Columbia, like situated on hills. Dr. Kulik attended the schools of Kiev, graduating from the University of Kiev in 1925. Later he did graduate study at the uni versity and in 1929 obtained a professorship. Three years later, in 1932, he began working in the research institute, a division of the university. ARRESTED IN 1937 "In 1937, everybody, as well as myseif, felt that any day he may be arrested," Professor Kulik re calls. Many of his friends were arrested and "just disappeared." One of these friends had spoken out against the party and was picked up. A few hours later Dr. Kulik was arrested simply be cause he was a friend to the objector of the party principals. He was released after one night's imprisonment, but still he knew that the secret police kept him under constant surveillance. After this episode, the professor began to plan to move to the western woril d. When the Nazis began their dIrive wvestwvard to the Ukraine, he wvas ordered to go to Russia, but managed to remain in Ukraina. Under the German occupation of his country, he still worked at the university. In 1943, the Ger mans ordlered all of the non German population to leave Kiev. Dr. Kulik, his wife, and mother in-law were taken to a German province on the Rhine. Here, he was engaged in designiing civil p)rojects, under an agency later known as the Department of Re search and Development. When the war was terminated, all Ukrainians born in the "astern part of the country were to be repatriated. Dr. Kulik escarped repatriation by pretending to have been born in western Ukrainia. From Germany Dr. Kulik went to England and did research for Courtaulds Limited until 1951. TO 'lU E USA In 1951, Dr. Kulik came to the United States to join relatives in California. Here he taught at Clearmont College until coming to Carolina's Math Department this year. When asked if his students had any difficulty understanding him, he had only this to say; "If they (10 they can always ask me to repeat."
