32 C. L. A. For years back UCLA has been in a receptive frame of mind. Until this year it has been the fastest growing campus in the United States. These plentiful Bruins sacrificed 11% of their numbers as full and part time workers for the aircraft corporations of Douglas and Lockheed, lost 1100 students to the cause of national defense. Aside from living without their Big C, now covered with dirt to erase the landmark from airview, UCLA students carried on, put on an exchange play with Berkeley, boasted of their year old amphitheatre, and sponsored their Bruin Host—a committee that tended personal party invitations to non-fraternity and sorority members. With Oski, 175 pieces from two college bands, and a raving rooting section, the Homecoming at UCLA made a veritable three-ring circus that kept football spectators agog at the half intermission. Good old southern hospitality was extended to Berkeley visitors at the Homecoming celebration, and accommodations were provided at request. Here UCLA specializes on the short of feminine skirts for the Homecoming float parade. UCLA ' s Royce Ha!! houses an auditorium of huge capacly for the benefit of Southern campus dramatists. To the right is the southern campus Chemistry Building. Vice-President and Provost EARLE R. HEDRICK and Student-body President BOB ALSHULER are top figures of the University ' s biggest little brother at Los Angeles. UCLA specializes on the long of feminine skirts for Homecoming queens. Pat Collins ' array of queenly attendants, and the not-so-queenly Oski are, left to right, Marie Whitmore, Gladys Hall, Frances Thurman, and Virginia Marston.

THE CALIFORNIA CLUB With California Club behind the scenes, the fraternal spirit between all University campuses is kept tradi- tional. The hearty homecoming at Westwood for the Bears and Bruins, and the breakfast for activity heads held at the Los Angeles campus were just two Cal Club inspirations. Aggie football fans from Davis were re- ceived at the Berkeley train station in the style of Cal Club enthusiasm. Whisked about the campus in an overabundance of autos, they were then left to wear off their excess farm-fed vitamins at an Assembly Dance especially dedicated to their cause. The annual two day convention at I House for representatives from all campuses, and trips around the Medical Center, UCLA, and Davis dairies gathered all clans under the blue and gold plaid. Future plan is to sponsor orientations pro- grams for student transfers on the Berkeley campus. Sawbones from Medical Center, Farmers from Davis, and Bruins from UCLA show Berkeley Cal Club members how they eat back home. Glen Slaughter, Cal Club President, drinks in every word James Lash, President Sproul ' s campus coordinator, is saying.

DAVIS Ruddy-faced Kenneth Johnson and Knowles Ryerson, Davis ' student-body presi- dent and Dean respectively, promote amiability between students and faculty. Davis students spend their time counting sheep, but seldom go to sleep in class. Farmer girls at Davis widened their enrollment 16% this year. Rumor may have it that the reason was Davis ' military unit, the largest in their history. The biggest reason was the added attraction of new home eco- nomics courses and issuance of teaching credentials. More new courses offered farmer boys training in Vete- rinarian Sciences. The play ' s now the thing at Davis. UCLA and Berk- eley took their dramaturgy to the farm, caused a revo- lution in dramatic interest. Davis ' Recreation Hall, once a gymnasium, now acts as stage for agriculture players, scene for special events, and general all-pur- pose auditorium for assemblies. The Aggies are athletic in their extra-curricular enterprise as well as behind the plow. Student-body members sponsored the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Boxing Tournament, and spent the rest of their energy growing beards for the Junior Day Contest. The faculty left the classroom, too, for athletic competition with the Juniors in a baseball game as a climax to the mo- mentous Junior Day. Nature in the raw is seldom mild, so student employees of the University creamery pasteurize and bottle the milk from Davis ' cows. Animal judging is an interesting and important study for the animal husbandry majors. Animal judging is an interesting and important study for the animal husbandry majors. 33
