Brenda Phelan Heads Bazaar The Sophomore class is buzzing with activity these days, and the reason can probably be found in their p lanning for the Mission Bazaar sponsor·ed annually by each Sophomore class. The proceeds of this benefit will be donated ro the missions. The Bazaar, which will be held on March 9 as a Lemen project, should prove to be very success ful , if some of th·e plans announced by Brenda Phelan , chairman, are taken as clues. The feature drawing will be for a beautiful Hi-Fi record player o n which th e class expects ro sell many chances. Another attraction will be handwriting ana lysis by Sophomore Mary Silva, an expert in that field. Anyone may bring in samples of handwriting of beaux, friends, and relatives for character analysis. There wi ll be various rabies to be managed by the Sophomores. Games of skill will be presented and refreshments will be available.
Every class eagerly :~wa its the day when its members will receive th eir colleg:o rings. Perhaps this anticipation can be attributed nor onl y to th e beaury o f the rings which is self-evidem, bur also to the her tha t its reception mar ks a goal in the academic life.

Future Teachers Aided by National Defense Loan R ecently, Salve Regina College was informed that she had been allotted $2,7 01 for dist:ibution in accordance with the National Defense Student Loan Program. To this sum , the college has added an additional $300, making the total $3 ,001. This is a nation wide program that provides loans to students und er easy terms so that the borrowers may later enter public elementary or secondary school systems. No student may be loaned more than $1,000 in a year, or more than $5,000 from the funds established under this act. The money is loaned at a three p er cent interest and it begins to accrue and payment started one year after the borrower ceases to be a full time college student. Another method of payment of the loan would be to have te n per cent of the principle forgiven · by reaching full time in 8.n elementary or secondary school up to a total of Jive years. When distributing the loans special co nsiderat ion will be g iven to the students with a superior academic background ind icaring a superior capacity or preparation in science, m:tthematics, or a mod ern fore ig n lan gu~tge. Onl y students who are in need of the amount to per sue such courses of stud ies may borrow from this loan. These loans ma y be used to defray any of the college expenses, even special fees.
