She has asked exchange students from China to clarify and help her with various words and inflections which are drastically different from English pronunciation. Both Chinese professors, known to their students as Mr. Wu and Mr. Xia, have impressive backrounds, as well as varying interests in teaching and studying English. Mr. Wu. who served in Iraq as an interpreter for the Chinese government from 1986-87, focuses mainly on audiovisual courses and materials design. He is the author of more than ten books, such as Scientific English for Listening Drills, and is a member of the Shanghai Audiovisual Association.

TWIRP week shows large turn-out By William Armstrong Senior Editor of The Banner TWIRP (The Woman Is Required to Pay) week was a great success this year. Large numbers of women became suddenly rather outgoing, and provided adequate crowds for the activities planned by the ASCBC for this week by asking men out, and paying for the privilege. Monday night, a crowd of couples equaling nearly fifty people appeared in an entirely rented- out theater for a showing of Don't Tell Her It's Me. The movie rated about two stars {maybe, if you were in a good mood), but an added bonus was the large "CBC" shadow which sublimi- nally passed across the screen a number of times as the movie began. The warning: "Please obverse silence" given on screen before the previews was heartily ignored as comments during the movie were loud, usually pretty funny, and definately numerous. The live taping of a new sitcom on Tuesday night was enjoyed by all who went, but many women chose to add another create-a-date to their lists for that night. Wednesday night's creations were many, and showed great imagination and flair. Dates ranged from a night of test-driving cars to a U2 theme date-complete with a showing of Rattle and Hum. One of the more notable dates was a Christmas Theme Date in the A.J. Staples room. The atmosphere was set with a Christmas tree, Christmas dress, appropriate music, and red and green M&M brownies, and activ- ides included singing carols and watching a Christmas movie. Thursday, many of the people attending discovered the hidden cowboy within their dates which they had never known existed. But then, any excuse to dance is a good excuse to dance... And finally, tonight's trip to Magic Mountain seems to be the highlight of the whole week. The original 70 tickets which were available for the activity were sold out almost immediately, and supplementary tickets were awaited during this week, and eventually failed to appear. Those women who did not get $7.00 tickets are asked to buy the group rate $13.00 at the gate, and the ASCBC will re-emburse them later. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to tonight. It should be a blast. Inside Lancer Arms: a letter.., ...page 2 Other side of the fence>w> ...page 3 For the athletically impaired... ; ...page 7 Calendar.. ...page 8
