' Fight Loyalty Oath Payments Regents of the University of California, ordered last Thurs- day by a Sacramento Superior judge to pay EB29O,291 in back pay and severance demands of 21 professors fired in a loyalty oath controversy, are going to hire an attorney to fight the Order. The regents met on the UCLA campus last Friday and voted to re- tain San Francisco lawyer Eugene Prince. They declined to comment on the Thursday order by judge John Quincy Brown to pay the sum or show reason for not so doing April 8. A special committee headed by regcnt John Francis Neyland was set up to find another attorney if Prince, who has represented the regents on other matters, is unavail- able. The professors were dismissed for failing to sign a loyalty oath and lost two years' pay. A 1952 Supreme Court decision ordered their rein- statement. In other action, the regents ap- proved a policy to set up a retire- ment system granting teaching and top administrative staffs retirement benefits like those now given to other state employees. Ceeiling would be 80 per cent of the average of an em- ployee's three highest paid years. Regent Victor R. Hanses of Angeles said the system would less than transferring university ployees to the state retirement tem He said '1 committee would Los cost em- sys- ' . . - pre- sent detailed plans for the system at a later meeting.

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. POOL ALMOST READY Final painting of the swim- ming pool is almost complete, Coach jack Hewitt has an- nounced. The swimming pool should be open next week for swimming classes. -THE STAFF- Dick Williams .... -..... ...... -...,. ....,. ......Editor lim St. Clair .................. ,. ....

President's Reception Enjoys Heavy Turnout Approximately S00 students, faculty members of both Letters and Science and CES staffs, and administrative office the University, accompanied by their wives or husbands, atte the President's reception a week As students entered the Physical Education building they were given a member of the faculty or a faculty yellow name plates and introduced to wife who took them through the re- ceiving line and introduced them to President and Mrs. Robert Cordon Sproul, Vice-President and Mrs. Harry R. 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. President Sproul made some very nice comments about our Student Body organization and about the UCR Cub. It is estimated that 81 students and wives, 110 Letters and Science faculty members and their wives and ago Tuesday. 102 Citrus Stations faculty me and their wives were present a number of administrative of and several members of the press. Arrangements for the rece were made by a committee of members of both the Letters Science College and the Citrus tion.

Berkeleyites Unable to Reach Change Decision Students of the Berkeley Campus have been unablc to reach any deci- sion on a proposed change in the academic calendar. The proposed change would mean the fall semester would run from about August 23 to December 20 and the spring term from February 1 to lvlay 20. The proposal would mean that the final examinations would end before Christmas holidays and the spring semester would still start late enough for mid-year high school graduates to cuter the University. ' Advantages Listed According to Stanford A. Mosk, professor of economics, said that the advantages of the new system would be ll elimination of the lame d-wk session after Christmas. 21 fall grades would be known before the spring semester started, 35 fall grades would a formal three-day break for Thanks- giving. 4D travel expenses would be lessened, 5D early graduation gives a better chance to get j0bS, 67 the facultv could use the extra time f01' research, 71 Bookstores would have a better supply of books. Students on the Davis Campus so far have favored the change, Mosk said. This will eliminate student's cutting classes to work before Christ- mas, which is of no educational value, but at the same time finals will be over early enough to work, especially if a student has them all the first week, he said. Students Veto Change At a special ASUC open house students voted 25 to 22 against chang- ing the schedule. Twenty-three 'of the students who voted against the measure were opposed for employ- ment reasons.

' UCR's First Coaching Staff To Attend Meet ln Pasadena By Dwain Lewis Next Monday the UCR coaching staff will attend the official Southern California inter-scholastic athletic con- ference at Cal-Tech to discuss some of the problems they might en- counter in varsity competition. UCR is planning to develop basket- ball, tennis and swimming for inter- collegiate competition next year.

Plans for a basketball league are being made and the play should start next week.

Student Son Of SB Principal Jim McMillin holds the distinction of being the first student admitted to the University of California at Riv- erside. McMi1lin is a Navy reservist and was stationed at Camp Pendleton. San Bernardino is his home town. Jim is following in the footsteps of his father, principal of San Ber- nardino High School for a number of years, by preparing for a teaching career. He likes the small enrollment at UCB, stating that: classes are small enough to learn something in, and the student receives more attention.
