HOW ABOUT IT? The staff of the UCR Cub needs more students who are interested in newspaper work of any kind, writing, proof-reading, make-up, etc. No experience is necessary. If you are interested in helping on the student newspaper, your newspaper, please stop at Room 1223 of the Social Sciences build- ing and sign up. 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. 'ss Berry, assistant order librarian has been designated to handle all rs regarding this installation. ir. Coman stated that the units should be installed and ready for use he students the 15th of March. Dr. Stanley Flanders of Citrus Experimental Station. 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. BABYLAND . . . Political Science professor Dr. Mal- colm Smith is the proud father of a new baby, Miss Nancy Leigh Smith, who was born Sunday, February 23rd, and weighed in at eight pounds and two ounces. 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.

w 1 SMOG CHAMBERS-The Citrus Experiment Station is the center of the University of Califor- nia's air pollution research program. Dr. John T. 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. No Basic Change In Draft Policy r For UCR Males No fundamental changes 1 garding draft policies for colle students have been made rece ly, reports Selective Serv! headquarters in Washington.

Any variance from full ti stasus will be automatically ported to the boards, as students continuing full time the spring semester. . . . But You Forgot To Remember . . . CLASSIFIED ADS The UCR CUB wishes to establish a classified ad section for the use of students, faculty and employees of the university. ll The tentative rate schedule, sub- ject to student approval, is as follows: 250 per 15 word ad, and 10c for every 5 additional words. Long term ads can be contracted for at a re- duced rate. Since The Cub expects to appear every Thursday, deadline for ads is 8 a.m. Monday morning of any week. BUS SCHEDULE Students needing transportation to and from Riverside may use the F on- tana Bus Lines. Buses leave the Grey- hound Depot on Market street near seventh street on the hour from 6 a.1n. to 1 3.lll.

Riverside Camp Grauman's Chinese Mumma By now Doug Mumma is probably UCR's most popular citizen. It's no longer news, but it must here be re-chronicled that Doug was the originator of the cement plan , as it has come to be known. This plan is so obvious and so appealing that the editorial staff of the Cub is backing it all the way. His idea was born in a brain beseiged and battered by two weeks of facts and figures and homeworkl Mumma had come upon one of our more publicity-conscious students scrawling his name in Mr. Yeager's freshly-laid cement outside the large lecture hall, and instantly he came to the con- clusion that maybe it would be kind of fun for 129 or so more of us to engage in the same sport. Remembering that Sid Grauman's Chinese Theatre, a pretty ordinary kind of a movie house, gained an unparalled fame and made a pile of money for the owner simply because a lot of Holly- wood people placed their names, noses, kneeprints and! or other impressions that could legitimately be made by various parts of their anatomies in soft concrete around the arcade, Mr. Mumma was inspired. The idea quickly gained official sanction and grew to propor- tions undreamed of by the maker. Everyone has gotten enthusiastic over it. Tom Patterson of the Press-Enterprise staff, upon hearing of the scheme, suggested land in all seriousness, toolj that the ASUCR borrow a grave-stone chisel from the Army so that the names would have a uniform appearance! At any rate, if his plan hasn't come off at the time you're read- ing this, plan to be around when it does. The Expanding University tlleprinted From The Daily Califomiannl Amidst the orange groves and under the sun of the Santa Ana valley a campus has been born-the new University of California at Riverside. Indications are that potentialities for real learning on this new outpost of the expanding university may be larger than those afforded by older institutions like Berkeley. For one thing, because of its tie with the statewide university, Riverside will be able to offer university education with the ad- vantages of small college surroundings. In fact, at first only 300 students will be enrolled under a 65-member faculty. And plans call for an enrollment limitation of 1500, a mere tenth of Berkeleyis present, and relatively low, figure. The Riverside liberal arts major has been set up so that, in the words of the new Riverside general catalogue of courses, work toward the degree of Bachelor of Arts is not conceived as merely the successive completion of so many fragments of knowledge, in the forms of units, courses and reading assignments. To this end, comprehensive examinations will be required at the end of the sophomore and senior years so that knowledge can be acquired cumulatively and not in fits and starts. On top of all other advantages, Riverside students will have the opportunity to initiatiate their own traditions-their own student government, their own alma mater, their own school colors, their own news- paper. We wish to welcome Riverside to the growing University family-a citrus experiment station gone liberal arts college.

Wellman and to Provost and Mrs. Gordon S. Watkins. Once through the reception line students were directed to the re- freshments table consisting of fruit juice and cookies. A 5-piece orchestra attracted the attentions of many of the students and faculty members and a large group soon gathered on the main floor of the gymnasium for dancing. The President and Vice-President and the Provost and their wives were exceedingly pleasant to all students and were very easy to meet.
