of their behind-the-scenes work well done, and to some extent, with the satisfaction of being Min the know. Chairman this year has been Wendell Miller. The YCHIJS Committee, un- der the expert guidance of Hank Evans, was able to provide many colorful programs for the student assemblies, acquiring pro- fessional entertainers on several occasions. Planning Freshman assemblies, decorating the Rose Bowl, and providing send-off rallies for the football team were some of the more routine duties carried out by the committee. ' As a result of the cooperation of most of the student body, the enthusiasm during the Oxy-pajamarino reached a new high. A spectacular bonfire was followed by the traditional romp up and down Colorado Street topped off with a free show for all the pajama-clad. Evan Johnson, junior member of the committee, succeeds Hank Evans. Rally Committeemen-back row: Richards, Cates, Barberg front row: Larson, Evans, Johnson. lnterhouse Committeenien-standing: Dowd.

The Editor of the Big T and Man- agers ol' both publications were elected late in the third term. These elective ollicers, with the exception of the Editors, publication Managers and Yell Leader, make up the Board of Direc- tors of the Corporation, and already they have sponsored the student-body formal at the Brentwood Country Club and have established a summer employment commit- tee composed of representative students and Dr. Donald Clark. As the Pullliftitb' Committee aims to inform an anxious public of the doings ol' Calteclfs undergraduates, the past year has seen a veritable barrage of news releases pelting the press for miles around while the students themselves were being confronted by numerous bulletin boards located in propitiously selected spots about the campus. Thereby, this committee has kept the public, uforeignw and 'gnativef' aware of what Tech is doing. Much credit is due the capable super- vision of Publicity Manager Martin Web- ster, who received assistance from Evan ,lolmson, Bob Thomas and Dick llosen- cranz. Bob Barry has taken over thc im- portant position held by Webster. Although El0I3ti0ll Committee Work is of great importance, it is often over- looked or taken for granted by many in the student body. Absolute Hdelity is neces- sary, and with innumerable interested par- ties clamoring for results, the nervous ten- sion becomes terrilic.

The 1937 E X ll i ll i 12 Committee, u11der Chairman Elliott Bonham and Assis- tants Robert Thomas and Armand DuFresne, made the Annual Exhibit Days most enter- taining to the record crowds, estimated at twenty thousand, which thronged the cam- pus. The magnitude of the crowd and presence of six newsreel companies was due to the great public interest which was mate- rially aided by the efforts of the new pub- licity committee. As usual, the High Voltage demonstra- tion led the field in popularity, but a newcomer, the television reception, and the grinding of the 200-inch telescope mirror were close rivals. The Geology department and the Biology division featured lectures of common inter- est to the visitors, earthquakes and vita- mines being the topics of some of their respective presentations. Chemical laboratories, besides their reg- ular nose appeal, provided many of the most attractive demonstrations, giving two public lectures as well-one on photochem- istry and one on household chemistry. Exhibits of Dr. lVlill,ikan's cosmic tray apparatus and demonstration lectures on high-frequency phenomena and fidelity sound recording were featured by the Physics and Electrical Engineering depart- ments. The Civil and Mechanical Engineering divisions showed Colorado River Aqueduct movies and model oil well equipment re- spectively, besides their customary inter- esting displays.
