u. c. L n. DESPITE AN enrollment drop from last year ' s figure of 9.000 to little more than 6.000, Little Brother Bruin was mak- ing his might felt in the service of his country. The University of California at Los Angeles was one of five such institu- tion.- chosen to give advanced training in meteorology for the Army Air Corps and the Navy, including some WAVE officer:?. The University became alma mater for many Navy V-12 and NROTC students as well as members of the Army Specialized Training Program, who pored over pre- engineering and area language studies. Meanwhile, women moved into activi- ties which in pre-war times had been re- served for the male element. Several co-eds appeared in the I niversity band, and the Daily Bruin was for the first time edited, managed, and largely produced by women. tow on the Westwood Students gather on the steps of Royce Hall. 27

CflLIFORnifl CLUB Dr. Ralph Chancy, Cal Club advisor, and chairman Alan Furth. THE CALIFORNIA Club, born in 1934 with President Sproul as its godfather, offers recognition to men and women who have shown qualities of leadership and loyalty to the University, and fosters a re- lationship of goodwill and cooperation among the seven members of our Univer- sity family. In the past, Cal Club coordinated the activities of the several campuses by play- ing host to visiting members and by travel- ing as a group to the other divisions, but wartime limitations have largely done away with this exchange program. Present activities have included a pro- gram for welcoming transfers from the army-occupied College of Agriculture at Davis, and a new project, the Deming Maclise Scholarship, which has already reached the four-figure mark and promises a post-war education at the University for outstanding students. Members of California Club gather on the steps of the Campanile. L BACK ROW: Joe Mixer, Walt St. Goar, Art Honegger, Bob Wallace, Bob Katz, Paul Phillips.

IHEDICflL SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SERVICE WITH the armed forces was the prospect for many of the sixty-five members of the graduating class at the University ' s Medical School in San Francisco, with forty-two of that num- ber already in uniform. Graduates be- gan their medical studies in U. C. ' s Life Sciences Building, spent their second year at the Medical Center, trained at the San Francisco Hospital in their third year, and returned to the Medical Center to emerge as full- fledged doctors. SCHOOL OF NURSING WITH THE need for trained nurses greater than ever before, the School of Nursing assumed new importance which was reflected in its increased enrollment. Ninety per cent of the students were en- rolled in the United States Nurse Cadet Corps, many of them having been in- spired by previous Nurse ' s Aide train- ing to make hospital work their profes- sion. The school provided outstanding facilities for training in psychiatry, orthopedics and surgery. Varied fields of endeavor were offered the new gradu- ates in educational and public health work, staff or industrial nursing, and service in the Army or Navy. 28
