Middleton frightj, associate plant pathologist, discovered in 1944 that smog was damaging plants in Southern California and estimates that losses this year will total S3,000,000. University scientists, including Dr. Ellis F. Darley lleftj and Dr. James B. Kendrick, Ir., are attempting to develop cultural techniques that will permit Southland farmers to grow crops in spite of smog attacks.

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.

Student Loans Available Soon The University has established two general types of student loans. The first is a short term loan. That is, a loan not exceeding 25 dollars and which must be paid back within thirty days. This type loan is designed to help students over emergency situations as they may arise. This loan may be had by a simple application through the Dean of Stu- dents office. The second type loan, a long term loan, will be for amounts up to and including 600 dollars. The treatment of this loan will be more strict than that of the short term loan. The loan will he made only after all the routine procedures and pre- cautions taken by a regular loan com- pany, for example, eo-signers-and must be cleared through a university committee. The loans may be paid back after students have graduated. However, it is to their best interests to pay back the loan before graduation as there is no interest rate as long as they are connected with the Univer- sity. Once they have graduated, however, normal interest rates, cur- rent at that period will be charged. The success of these two types of loans, particularly the first, depends upon student honesty and integrity in paying back the loan. ther, Can You Spare a Dime? n stallation of a Typo-matic service for the convenience of the student has been announced by University officials. ix Typo-matic units will be installed in Room 202 of the Library build- These units are operated by the deposit of 10 cents in a slot on the riter and will operate for approximately one hour.

Insect Parasites Said Best Citrus Pest Controllers Parasites which attack citrus pests offer a better prospect of long-range control than chemical treatment, in the opinion of Dr. Stanley Flanders, professor of biological control in the Citrus Experiment Station here. Discussing his views, the University Explorer will explain some of the features of biological control in a broadcast over the CBS radio net- work at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, March 7. He will describe such parasites as Metaphycus helvolus, a tiny wasp about 1!20th of an inch in length, which preys on tl1e black scale of citrus trees. Entitled Our Insect Allies, the broadcast will be heard on KNX, Los Angeles, KCBS, San Franciseog and the CBS radio network. Dr. Flanders is now in Hong Kong, looking for new parasites.

TODAY Hopefuls Appear In SB Assembly This Afternoon By W. R. Williams I sure don't like this idea of not being able to place campaign posters about the campus, said student Peter Van Vechten at last Thursday's provisional char- ter meeting, and I want to form a committee to take the matter up with Dean Broadbent. Van Vechten was one of a number of students who obviously were a little disgruntled over the controver- sial details of the meeting, held in the large lecture hall of the Social Sci- ences and Humanities building. His sporadic outburst came as a result of pro-tem secretary Lorraine Eyer's having stated that she had leamed that campus rules would not allow indiscriminate posteri.ng of the premises. She stated that one bulletin board had been reserved for campaigning purposes. 'Cement Plan' Gains Ground Pro-tem chaimian Vaughn Blanken- ship hastily appointed a committee to assist Van Vechten with his prob- lem, while other students were agitating for action on Doug Mum- ma's proposed 'cement plan'. Student Mumma had earlier dis- cussed with Dean Broadbent an idea which spread like melted cheese throughout the campus about the feasibility of each of the original UCR student body members being al- lowed to write their names in con- crete for posterity. Chairman Blankenship asked for volunteers to make up a committee which would be charged with the responsibility of making the final ar- rangements. Dick Pearl and Bill Kassel answered the call to aid Mumma. I The first half-hour of the meeting was taken up with a repeat reading of the proposed temporary charter by Miss Eyer. After much discussion among the attendant members, the issue of whether or not to adopt the charter 'as wasv was put to a vote and passed unanimously. Candidates By Petition After the charter was ratified, a petition method of nominating stu- dent body officers was approved. The plan called for any group of students who desired to run a candi- date to report to the office of the Deans for petitions which would need to be signed not only by the candi- date himself, but by fifteen accredited ASUCR members. Chairman 'Blankenship announced that he would like a motion from the floor calling for a 12 noon deadline on Wednesday, March 3, for final filing of the petitions with the Deans' office. His idea for the Wednesday dead- line was ss that the contenders could be presented at today's assembly.
