AWS Organizes On Campusg Elects Brumgardt Pres. The Associated Women Stu- dents of UCB, while not yet an official organization, had its first meeting on April first. The group elected four officers for the remainder of the semester. The officers are Janice Brumgardt, presi- dent, Pat Huber, vice-president, secre- tary-treasurer, Shirley Wright, and social chairman, Isabel Gotori. The Dean of Women, Miss Davis, told the members some of the duties the AWS had at other colleges and would probably have at UCR. On other compuses the AWS is in charge of welfare projects, establishes wo- men's honorary organizations such as Mortar Board, and deals with matters concerning women's organizations. The Sophomore class is sched- uling a beach party to be held this Saturday, April 10, from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The party will be held at Victoria Beach south of Laguna. All UCR students are invited. Large Crowds Expected At UCR Open House An open house for the public is planned by the campus for Sunday, April 25. Provost Gordon Watkins has an- nounced that faculty members of the Letters and Science College will be in their offices from 1-5 p.m. that day to demonstrate the facilities of the five modern buildings on the campus. Visitors will be shown the open- stack library, the gymnasium and swimming pool, the health center, the specially designed laboratories that permit students to hear lectures and conduct experiments in the same room, and other points of interest on the campus. There will be a need for student guides to conduct the visitors around the campus. Anyone interested in serving as a guide should contact either ASUCR President Chuck Young or leave their names in the Public Information Office. Area Service Clubs Donate Flagpole Funds Various service clubs in Riv- ersied and Arlington have donated S1000 to UCR for the purpose of erecting a flagpole on the campus. The service clubs involved in the donation include the Riverside Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, Optimists, 20-30, Soroptimists, and Zonta Clubs. The Arlington Lions Club, the Rubidoux Exchange Club, Rubidoux Lions Club. The flagpole will be installed and dedicated in connection with the dedication of the College the week of October 17th, 1954. Representatives of the service clubs will be invited to attend the ceremonies. In a letter to Provost Cordon S. Watkins informing him of the gift, Mr. Lewis P. Alabaster, chaimlan of the committee, stated: All members of the participating clubs congradu- late you and your fine staff upon the development of the beautiful campus and buildings. We appreciate es- pecially, the fine program of the University to be offered the youths who are fortunate enough to come Within its halls. The Regents of the University have accepted the gift. Provost Watkins stated that he and President Robert Gordon Sproul felt that the gift is indicative of a deep and abiding interest in UCR. , Governing Body Moves To Seat AWS President By jim St. Clair As a result of Wednesday's Student Affairs Council meeting, an assembly of the entire student body has been scheduled for April 15th, Thursday. The pur- pose of the assembly is to amend the charter so as to seat the representatives of the newly or- ganized Associated Women Stu- dents Organization. The Student Affairs Commit- tee held its third meeting in the SS conference room Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. The meeting was called to order by ASUCB President Chuck Young. Due to the absence of the secretary, no minutes of the last meeting were read. Reports Called For President Young called for reports from several of the committees that had been previously established. Vaughn Blankenship, chairman of the committee in charge of the mas- cot contest, reported that almost a hundred names had been submitted for the mascot. It was his suggestion that the mascot committee select from these names about 25 of the best to present to the Student Affairs Council. he Council would then se- lect 5 of these names to be presented to the student body as a whole for their action. No Action Taken The Council also discussed the pos- sibility of selecting the final slate by April 25th in time for the open house. No action was taken. Chairman of the Social Commit- tee, Bill Kassell, submitted the report of his committee. They have requested fContinued on Page 42 Davis Campus Conference Site Each year representatives of the faculty of the various campuses of the University hold an annual All- University Faculty Conference. Plans for the Ninth All-University Faculty Conference, to be held at Davis, April 29, 30, and May 1, on call of President Robert Gordon Sproul, have now been completed. The theme of the Conference will be How to Appraise the Value of the University to Society. Representing UCR at this confer- ence will be Dr. William S. Stewart, Chairman of the Department of Orchard Management and Dr. Arthur C. Tumer, Chairman of the Division of Social Sciences of the Letters and Science College.

Open House will be held on the UCR campus Sunday, April 25, from 1-5 p.m. Student guides will be employed to lead tours of the buildings and grounds, and faculty members will be asked to sit in their offices to greet the visitors during those hours. COMMITTEES fContinued from Page li had received a letter from the Cali- fornia Club of the same campus ask- ing if they could come to Riverside in May and assist the student body here in laying plans for a big C high-atop Box Spring Mountain. Vaughn Blankenship then mentioned that maybe the affair should also in- clude UCLA's student body officers, but Williams pointed out that the staff of the BRUIN was nearly as large as UCR's entire student body, so maybe things would get out of hand. Plan Pigeonholed The Student Affairs Committee agreed that this would probably be the case, so President Young said that he thought the social events commit- tee should study the matter. A mo- tion was made and passed that the entire matter be bound over to that committee. The meeting adjourned after a brief discussion of the coming high school open house to be held in late May. It was decided that the next Student Affairs Committee meeting would be held on Wednesday, April 7. Would you like to participate in some very worthwhile re- search? Dr. Andre Malecot is requesting that any student fand especially language studentsi come to his office in room 2232, SS 8: Humanities, and take a Psycho-Physics test which deals with sounds made by the human voice.

SMALL PIANOS Bought - Sold - Rented Steinway - Knabe - etc. 55 a mo. up Gossett's - 4024 7th HOWARD fContinued from Page li one failure on a midwestern campus, named, which sought to introduce a I program of unspecialized liberal edu- cation, surrounded by the usual pro- fessional schools and professional pro- grams of a modern university campus. In this instance he found that the junior jitters was especially signifi- cant in the breakdown of the idea, so enthusiastically conceived by presi- dent and faculty alike. He considered that the opportunity to establish a unique four-year liberal education program on the UCR cam- pus is better because it is undertaken within the framework of the existing American education system and partic- ularly because it is within the frame- work of the university itself. his, he explained, would give the student with junior jitters the freedom to trans- fer to another campus. Hopes Cases Few If a person suffers from an in- curable case of junior jitters, he can come to UCLA and get professional treatment, Dr. Howard said. He added that he and other well- wishers on the UCLA campus hope that such cases will be few. Dr. Howard continued that the Riverside experiment has a better chance of succeeding because it it better adapted than similar experi- ments to the capacity of the individual student and because the separate campus will provide fewer temptations from the illusion of practical training which quite often is not practical at all. Commends System Despite his wish for the accom- plishment of the aims of the River- side campus, Dr. Howard found much to be commended in the American educational system, finding in it a universal opportunity for a new start comparable to the opportunity of the once-expanding American frontier. Dr. Howard said, The invariable question that's asked in America is not 'who is your father?' but 'where did you go to school?' For That Important Date AN ORCHID CORSAGE CARNEY fContinued from Page 17 of the parliamentary straitjacket the General Assembly placed on them. Valuable lessons were leamed in this process. Intimate knowledge of the procedural chessboard is prerequisite to any successful use of parliamentary machinery. Our people know that now and are thus forearmed for future Model UN participation. There will be future model UNs and, assuredly, UCR will play a role in them. These sorts of things are immensely valuable. They are def- initely not child's play. It is, of course, trite to say that future lead- ers, future activists if you will, were gathered in Royce Hall last week but it is very true. Somebody has to do these public things in a democracy and the doers are the very people who get into programs like Model UN. The ideal- ism displayed in Royce Hall was impressive, but one expects that ' active young people. Even more im- pressive was the all around serious- ness, maturity and real ability. It was good to see. It was not all business however, There was time for play. Possibly there was not quite enough time for that. At least it seemed that intra and extra delegational interaction was really just getting interesting when it was time to leave. But good friend- ships were formed and possibly a flir- tation or two initiated under the watchful but tolerant eyes of the faculty advisors. Those things are also good. comprised the Polish delegation.

J ,, Ads Support CUB - Support CUB Ads I I C I V Lick Observotor Student body funds are very definitely limited this year. We started the year with some S1500 and have reduced that to a balance of about 8200. , The CUB has taken about S550 of that money for its publica- tion. Still, that is not enough. It costs about S70 to put out each edition of the CUB. If, as we hope, we put out 15 issues the total cost will be roughly 51000. Obviously we don't have enough money to finance the total cost of publishing the CUB and still have any money left for other student activities. The only solution to our dilemma is to secure a large num- ber of advertisers. Marilyn Merchant, our advertising manager, has done a fine job getting ads from the stores and shops in Riverside. However, the job is almost too big for any one individual who also has to do homework. If we can get about S40 per issue in advertising we can still finance the CUB and come out every week. However, the advertisers must feel that they are getting their money's worth. The only way we can assure the advertisers that they are getting their money's worth is to patronize them regularly and to inform them at the same time that we are UCR students who have seen their ads in the CUB. If you would like to help the CUB continue its publication patronize your advertisers. I -Jim St. Clair Blankenship - The iNew Ruark? Beginning with this issue the CUB will feature a regular column by UCR's own rustic and sagacious Vaughn Blankenship. Vaughnis new column, Time Out, will doubtless be the first read and most discussed feature of any issue. We here on the staff have long felt the need for something of this nature, and when we got wind of Vaughnis writing abilities we set right to work to sign him up. V This is truly a long step forward in the direction we would like to see the CUB go. After all, this is a student newspaper for student consumption. We hope in timee to be able to bring you more and more of this sort of thing-things that you, the readers, have hounded us for from the beginning. If you like Vaughn's new column fand Weill bet student body funds that you willl let us know, won't you? Better still, give Vaughn a friendly slap on the back for on the face, if he has men- tioned you in his columnj and tellfhim how you feel. is -YC LlNES FROM TINTERN ABEY By William Wordsworth . . . and this prayer I make, Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved herg 'tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy: for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Bash judgements, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is whole of blessing. jCLASSIFlED Aus Wanted!

Everything has a purpose except maybe Aristophanes and Marilyn Monroe. And I can think of nothing with less purpose than trying to make an evening of Aristophanes and Miss Monroe. But I'm digressing. This column, too, has a purpose. Let's for- get Aristophanes and concentrate on Mrs. Dimaggio. In other words, this column is to shed the scholars cap for the purpose of gossip, opinions, some news, idle chit-chat, and-I flatter myself - humor. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Having thus laid a broad, general background which really says nothing I proceed to the first topic of interest. THE MASCOT. Everyone seems to have his own private goodie along this line. So far I have no preference. I like Arabs,', if I must make a choice. We could have an Arabian Night set up. We could have harems. It offers nameless and endless ideas for homecoming decorations. Then I would like to make a suggestion of my own-the UCR Students VVhat potentiality! We could adopt a mas- cot with stooped shoulders, thick, hornrimmed glasses, bags under both eyes, and the motto- In Hoc Signo Vincesf' This quite liberally trans- lated means, For God's sake, Gor- don, no more Humanities courses. THE SOPHOMOBE CLASS. 1 un- derstand that the Sophomore class is having a party this weekend. That's great. I frankly am in favor of re- viving the old tradition of T.G.I.F. To the uninitiated this means, simply, Thank God itis Fridayiingf' In other words, come Friday after- noon and everyone takes off to some local joint to live it up. T.G.I.F.'ing successfully- takes the edge off the human mind and is guaranteed to reduce even Einstein to the depths of joe College and Pogo. Newton becomes the guy who makes figs and Annabelle Lee be- comes the sister of Gypsy Rose. THE HIT PARADE.
