Frarrcisco. Instruction thcrc span Our First Sour Note . . .V One week ago today the student body of UCB held its first student meeting to discuss a proposed charter and to nominate and elect pro tem officers. Slightly less than half the students showed up last Thursday. Of those who did show up, only a small group took an active part in the proceedings. Why the apathy? The date and hour of the meeting had been announced at least twice previously in other student gatherings, so there was no excuse for not being at the student government conclave. The administration has set aside the 1:30 hour every Thursday for ASUCR assemblies. But, as Dean Broadbent has said, that corr- cession carr hardly be justified when so few students indicate an interest in student government and its affairs. Nearly everyone has heard the story of the man who signed a petition stating he was to be shot at dawn. I-Ie signed away his rights because he was too lazy or disinterested to read the petition! Letis not give up our rights and privileges as UCB students by being disinterested and lazy. Let's start filling the lecture hall to capacity every Thursday and find out what's going on! Meet The Masters By Mary Howard Dr. Conway Pierce, a native Kerr- tuckian, is chairman of the Division of Physical Sciences and instructor of chemistry. He has taken undergrad- uate and graduate work at George- town College, and the Universities of Kentucky, South Dakota, and Chicago. He has served in military chemical divisions both as a private in World War I and as a chairman in World War II. The latter' job, with the Of- fice of Scientific Research and De- velopment, won him the Presidential Certificate for Merit. Dr. Pierce was clrainrran of the Pomona College chemistry depart- ment from 1945 to 1953, when he came to UCR. , -run STAFF- Dick VVillianrs ..........,.. .... .. ,..,,,.......,,,,, E ditur lim St. Clair .....................

Language Lab Unique Among U.S. Universities By Janet Buvens The UCB language lab is among the most modern labs in th e country, Dr. Malecot, French language professor, said in an interview last week. The lab, located in room 1114 in the llumanities building, will be used by all students studying French, Ger- man, and Spanish. The program which has been set up for the language lab is designed to further the students knowledge in both reading and understanding the language being studied. The student will be able to listen to thc reading texts of famous persons, take dictation from recordings, an- swer questions in conversation, prac- tice pronunciation, and take oral tests. Students will also be able to re'- cord their voices. However, it will he some time before the tape re- corders can be installed. The lab is to be operated by stu- dent tcclmicians who will place the proper assignments, or records, on the turntables. In each one of tl1c seventeen indi- vidual listening booths there is a channel dial, like the dial on a televi- sion set. By turning this dial to the proper channel number the student will bc able to listen to his assign- ment. The channel number and the as- signmcnt directions thc student is to follow are found on the bulletin board just inside the door. After putting on the ear phones, plugging their connections into the sockets, and selecting the proper chan- nel, thc student proceeds with the as- signment as directed. Students who are not taking lang- uage courses, but who would like to learn on their own, may also use the language lab. These students should first, however, see the professor of the language he wishes to learn and make an appointment to use the lab. Dr. Malecot should be contacted for French, Dr. Straubinger for Ger- man, and Dr. Hansen for Spanish. Student Body Organization A Reality Soon By Bill Nelsen In a meeting in the humani- ties lecture hall at 1:30 p.m. last Thursday, February 18, the stu- dent body of UCB met to discuss formation of student govern- ment. By unanimous decision, Dean Broadbent and Lorraine Eyer were appointed as chair- man and secretary pro-tem, re- spectively, for the meeting. Todayis meeting is a follow-up of last week's ground work. To end what he termed the present state of student anarchy at UCB, Chairman Broadbent then presented a provisional charter which he and Miss Davis had drawn up. It provided for such things as are neccessary for student government to function until a constitution is adopted, that is, membership, election and duties of officers, right of student petition, time of meeting and name-The Associated Students of the University of Califor- nia at Riverside-ASUCB. A brief discussion followed the presentation, and it was decided to elect a temporary chairman and secre- tary for future meetings and to post- pone eharter ratification until more students have become acquainted with it. Nominations were then made. Vaughn Blankenship was elected to the chair, and Lorraine Eyer was chosen as secretary. It was generally felt that the post- ponement of charter ratification 'and the election of regular officers was the best possible course of action at this time because many of the students have not become acquainted with one another. Pre-med. Student George Harper presented what may well become one of the first traditions of UCB.

Dr. Edwin Simon, Professor of Music, has said that hc is more than willing to give any advice or assist- ance to interested students. Dr. .Simon may be contacted in his office, room 2212, of the Social Sci- ences and Humanities building. delegation to Riverside recently to explain the idea of such a center. She was accompanied by Rev. E. Lawr- ence Carter and Rabbi Iedudah Colm, Episcopal and jewish clergymen from the UCLA center, and three students of as many faiths. All of them em- phasized that inter-faith fraterniza- tion improves unde1'standing. More- over, they said it does this without the effect of raiding of one organized faith by another. Reverend Carter made the point that each participant not only leams more about other faiths but is virtually compelled to learn more about his own. Johnson Wants To See A Band, But Made Up of What? By Chuck Johnson In a large university of ten thousand it takes one per cent of the student body to produce a full band of a hundred pieces. At Riverside, in 1954, one per cent of us would produce the fellow on a bass hom! To form a full band, would require the help of our entire student body. That appears to be a golden impos- sibility, in view of the diverse interests represented among a hundred students. So perhaps we should ask first, what docs it take to make a band possible where no thousands of stu- dents exist from which to draw, or where no thousands of dollars are presently available to provide the facilities for such an organization? Assuming we could find a dozen students genuinely interested in 'blowing up a storm, for the new Alma Mater, the first question would be- how many have their own instru- ments, and in what shape are they? Vlfould the instrumentation be varied enough to round out a pep band, or would we be starting with five flutes, four saxcs, and three trap drummers? VVhat if we desperately needed an oompah and a couple of French homs -we have three persons to play them, but no instruments. Well, a mere thousand dollars will solve that Jroblem. I On the other hand, supposing we did get thc necessary horns for a sixteen piece band, but we needed a reliable first trumpet man. Would one of the instructors who used to play a lot of tnmipet offer to help the band until someone could handle the job among the students? The problem of music then pre- sents itself. Most arrangements are written for a full hundred piece band. To make a balanced sound out of a few isolated parts of a score with a handful of musicians becomes a feat for a magician, not a director. It's really out of this world, if you've ever heard it. Special books for pep bands and 'hungry fives' leave something to be desired, although they are the next best thing to special arrangements for the limited group. Specials usually take a lot of time or cost far too much money, compared to band literature already printed for the larger bands. After properly arranged music comes the problem-Where do we re- hearse and store our equipment, such as horns, music stands, drums, podium, and library? Where can we blow with- out interrupting the academic life of the rest of the campus? Last of all-could the band, in spite of all these hurdles, qualify for a pub- lic appearance? What about uniforms? Of course, all these problems will find their solutions in the near future, since wc are an unusual group . . . Instead of one per cent taking a hold in the band world, we should expect ten per cent to come to the aid of UCR morale via the horn and reed. As for instruments, we might hope by next fall to be blowing sound of our own, some borrowed ones, and, if the Regents be willing, a few new ones that operate properly on all keys, and with correct intonation. For rehearsal space, your guess is as good as mine-maybe that shack up on top of the Box Springs Moun- tains wherc we can't be heard, ex- cept with an east wind would be good. Music can and will be provided from one source or another. Uniforms cost nearly as much as the cheaper instruments, but they are vitally important in creating the right impression, since some music lovers see more than they hear. But for the present, is anyone in- terested in a brass quartet? If you are, bring your own homs and meet over at my place-I have a pen, some blank music script, a few ideas-and a trombone. Here's where we begin.
