N i .W SVW It is time that the students and faculty get over their nferiority complex about U.C.L.A., declares Earl R. Hedrick, Vice-President and Provost of the University. We have the eleventh largest enrollment of any university in the United States as well as a student body with a mental equivalent of the upper half of any middle-western college. Dr. Hedrick cites the ever-increasing roster of internationally famous faculty mem- bers, the raising of student entrance requirement standards, the attempt to allow students to accomplish as much as their ability permits instead of setting limitations. An ardent rooter for U.C.L.A., both in academic and athletic events. Dr. Hedrick, a former Professor of Mathematics, spends spare moments jug- gling miscellaneous figures to prove U.C.L.A. ' s all-around superiority.

f RESIDENT m Df. Sproul, with his characteristic booming Iau3hter, interspersing his conversation, discusses University problems v ith Regent McErney. President Robert Gordon Sproul is well known as one of California ' s finest orators and well liked as an informal good fellow. He began his University of California career early by his undergraduate prominence at Berkeley in such varied activities as sports-announcing and the holding of several student body offices. Then, after serving in numerous admin- istrative positions, he was elevated to the presidency of the University eleven years ago. Dr. Sproul, in a message to the Southern Campus and its readers, pointed out that this marks the first year of U.C.L.A. ' s ma|ority, and that this past year more than 10,000 young men and women were afforded training on this campus, 1500 of whom received their degrees at June Commencement. In summing up this twenty-second year of service he feels that one may say that its real record of achievement will be found written in the future.
