UNIVERSITY NEWS SERVICE Telling tales out of school, the University News Service Bureau kept California publications and several large Eastern newspapers posted about activities of scientific and administrative circles. A recent test survey re- ported that the University of California received more academic write-ups than all other colleges of the state combined. This group didn ' t put all its eggs in one basket, how- ever. A hometown news service, kept up-to-date by ad- ministration interest, told about the student at his studies and in the stadium. For previews of coming attractions, the weekly Calendar announced everything from Campanile concerts to anthropology exhibits. From another Bureau drawer came Seven Campuses, an alumni paper which foretells and reviews events at the various Alma Maters. Manager HAROLD ELLIS and assistant HENRY SCHACHT give the daily mail a skeptical glance from behind the University News Service desk. Ellis originated the office at Cal and has since become president of the American College Publicity Association. BUREAU OF OCCUPATIONS The North Annex of South Hall is the hideout of Vera L. Christie Company. With a telephone in one hand and an application blank in the other, they annually interview five thousand students and hundreds of grad- uates who seek employment. The work of the Bureau of Occupations is just one big jig-saw puzzle--finding a student to fit each hour and wage offered. This year, contrary to tradition, there was a scarcity of men to fit the part-time cash jobs avail- able. Many alumni stepped from the commencement platform into the Bureau and out again into technical occupations. As a result, the NYA has proved less neces- sary as a job reservoir and a temporary solution to the college bread line problem. Not a telephone operator, just Vera L. Christie in a typical pose. As head of the Bureau of Occupations she supplies part time and full time jobs with available students and alums. Two ripples in the steady stream of job seekers stop off at the annex for a chat with a part of the Bureau ' s staff.

The Sprouls take their annual trip to the Hearst Gym to meet the class of ' 45. PRESIDENT ' S RECEPTION President Sproul shook hands and laughed a booming laugh with new students who accepted his invitation to the President ' s Reception. Personally meeting three thousand new faces in three hours was a feat also attained by Mrs. Sproul, Kaki, and Ralph. Even P.E. couldn ' t recognize Hearst Gymna- sium, which was so transformed by the Decorative Arts Department. Upperclassmen in the President ' s Recep- Milpitas! Why I ' m from Milpitas, too! And so a president ' s aide helps to make a new Cal man feel at home. tion Committee were transformed, too, in dark suits and formals. They saw to it that name tags and the wall flower committee kept dance floor traffic from congestion. In the intermissions groups around the pool and the punch bowl found both filled with harm- less liquid. When the Campanile struck twelve, it was Home, James for the guests, and the Sprouls put their hands in moth balls for another year. CENTRAL COMMITTEE Left to Right: Becky Hayden, Kaki Henck, Dave Wendel, Jean Christie, Ray Williams, Martha Welch, Harry Graham, Cay Wilding
