California Club was organized in 1934 by President Robert Gordon Sproul to foster a spirit of unity among the eight campuses of the University of California and to promote harmonious relations between the several student bodies. The twenty upper division students who are chosen as Cal Club members each year by President Sproul are recognized campus leaders who have distinguished themselves as Californians through loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. U.C.L.A. Cal- Clubbers, under the chairmanship of Bob Hansen, travelled north in November to view the Cal-U.C.L.A. football tussle and were hosted by the Berkeley members. George Ramsey acted as chairman of the group for the spring semester when the plans were formulated and carried out to hold a convention of the members of the eight Cal Clubs on the Westwood cam?us this spring. The Deming G. Maclise Scholarship Fund, which was established in 1943, provides the members with a chance to travel and meet their fellow mambers in order that they may acquire an understanding of the functioning of their university as a whole, becoming ac- quainted with its state wide facilities.

Wong, Zoology Students at U.C.L.A. are fortunate to have so many op- portunities to study with educators who rank among the top m their fields and have won national recognition for their valuable research. Among the professors who have become almost a tradition at U.C.L.A. through almost a quarter of a century of instruction both on the Westwood and Vermont campuses is Dr. Charles G. Haines, professor of Political Science and authority on Constitutional law, who served as an arbitrator with the War Labor Board during the war years. Miss Lily B. Campbell has distinguished herself during her years as a member of the English faculty, being recog- nized as one of the foremost women educators in the country and has done extensive research on French and English literature. An eminent figure in the realm of English historians, Dr. Frank Klingberg has been informing students of the complications of Britain ' s history for many years and has had much of his research work published. Countless Bruin students have received an introduction to geology in the classes of Dr. William J. Miller, who has won acclaim for his writings in that field. U.C.L.A. has a great many faculty members who have played extremely important roles during the war. One of the outstanding examples is Dr. Frederick Blacet who acted as a wartime gas expert for the National Defense Research Committee and is once again instructing chemistry students. Back on the faculty of the Men ' s Physical Education de- partment is Briggs Hunt, varsity wrestling and boxing coach, who, with the rank of a major in the army, was Provost Marshall of the Territory of Alaska.
