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.

Many of the U.C.L.A. faculty members who con- tributed to the national war effort, speeding the final victory by their work in various agencies and the armed forces, are now back on campus. Dr. Joseph Gingerelli of the psychology department used his knowl- edge in that field with the Office of Strategic Services in Washington where he was a member of the planning commission concerned with planning operations of cer- tain European regions and designing the type propa- ganda most effective for peoples in those areas. For- merly a cultural geographer for the Smithsonian Insti- tution, Dr. Henry F. Bruman, who is now teaching Geography to Bruins, spent the war years doing a con- fidential job for an agency that must still remain name- less. Dr. Jakob Bjerknes enlightened army and navy trainees about his field of Meteorology and is also a member of the Thunderstorm Research advisory com- mittee, last year winning the Bowie Medal in geophysi- cal research. Locating sites for the construction of air fields and docks, Dr. James Gilluly, head of the Geology department, spent eight months in the Southwest Pacific theater of operations as a technical consultant for the Army engineers corps. After active duty as a Marine Corps officer in the South Pacific, Bruin alumnus Dr. H. Arthur Steiner, is bock in the classroom giving political science students a chance to beneit from his extensive study of far eastern affairs. Dr. Paul Dodd, popular Economics professor, aided in the settlement of war- time labor disputes by working with the War Labor Board. 0,. Joseph Ginger.gi.
