Open House will be held on the UCR campus Sunday, April 25, from 1-5 p.m. Student guides will be employed to lead tours of the buildings and grounds, and faculty members will be asked to sit in their offices to greet the visitors during those hours. COMMITTEES fContinued from Page li had received a letter from the Cali- fornia Club of the same campus ask- ing if they could come to Riverside in May and assist the student body here in laying plans for a big C high-atop Box Spring Mountain. Vaughn Blankenship then mentioned that maybe the affair should also in- clude UCLA's student body officers, but Williams pointed out that the staff of the BRUIN was nearly as large as UCR's entire student body, so maybe things would get out of hand. Plan Pigeonholed The Student Affairs Committee agreed that this would probably be the case, so President Young said that he thought the social events commit- tee should study the matter. A mo- tion was made and passed that the entire matter be bound over to that committee. The meeting adjourned after a brief discussion of the coming high school open house to be held in late May. It was decided that the next Student Affairs Committee meeting would be held on Wednesday, April 7. Would you like to participate in some very worthwhile re- search? Dr. Andre Malecot is requesting that any student fand especially language studentsi come to his office in room 2232, SS 8: Humanities, and take a Psycho-Physics test which deals with sounds made by the human voice. It only takes about ten minutes of your time, so be a volunteer. SMALL PIANOS Bought - Sold - Rented Steinway - Knabe - etc. 55 a mo. up Gossett's - 4024 7th HOWARD fContinued from Page li one failure on a midwestern campus, named, which sought to introduce a I program of unspecialized liberal edu- cation, surrounded by the usual pro- fessional schools and professional pro- grams of a modern university campus. In this instance he found that the junior jitters was especially signifi- cant in the breakdown of the idea, so enthusiastically conceived by presi- dent and faculty alike. He considered that the opportunity to establish a unique four-year liberal education program on the UCR cam- pus is better because it is undertaken within the framework of the existing American education system and partic- ularly because it is within the frame- work of the university itself. his, he explained, would give the student with junior jitters the freedom to trans- fer to another campus. Hopes Cases Few If a person suffers from an in- curable case of junior jitters, he can come to UCLA and get professional treatment, Dr. Howard said. He added that he and other well- wishers on the UCLA campus hope that such cases will be few. Dr. Howard continued that the Riverside experiment has a better chance of succeeding because it it better adapted than similar experi- ments to the capacity of the individual student and because the separate campus will provide fewer temptations from the illusion of practical training which quite often is not practical at all. Commends System Despite his wish for the accom- plishment of the aims of the River- side campus, Dr. Howard found much to be commended in the American educational system, finding in it a universal opportunity for a new start comparable to the opportunity of the once-expanding American frontier. Dr. Howard said, The invariable question that's asked in America is not 'who is your father?' but 'where did you go to school?' For That Important Date AN ORCHID CORSAGE CARNEY fContinued from Page 17 of the parliamentary straitjacket the General Assembly placed on them. Valuable lessons were leamed in this process. Intimate knowledge of the procedural chessboard is prerequisite to any successful use of parliamentary machinery. Our people know that now and are thus forearmed for future Model UN participation. There will be future model UNs and, assuredly, UCR will play a role in them. These sorts of things are immensely valuable. They are def- initely not child's play. It is, of course, trite to say that future lead- ers, future activists if you will, were gathered in Royce Hall last week but it is very true. Somebody has to do these public things in a democracy and the doers are the very people who get into programs like Model UN. The ideal- ism displayed in Royce Hall was impressive, but one expects that ' active young people. Even more im- pressive was the all around serious- ness, maturity and real ability. It was good to see. It was not all business however, There was time for play. Possibly there was not quite enough time for that. At least it seemed that intra and extra delegational interaction was really just getting interesting when it was time to leave. But good friend- ships were formed and possibly a flir- tation or two initiated under the watchful but tolerant eyes of the faculty advisors. Those things are also good. comprised the Polish delegation.

REATNESS NOT MEASURED IN SIZE, AGE' - WATKINS ollowing are excerpts of vost Watkins Charter Day ess delivered on the camp- ast Friday morning. behalf of the President and the d of Regents it is a real pleasure elcome you to the 86th Charter 'versary Celebration of the Uni- 'ty of California. Similar celebra- have been held this week in e principal centers of the Uni- 'tyis activities. While we have d in these anniversary ceremonies g the past four years, this is, of se, the first time that the Charter Ceremony has been held in the ing and on the campus. We are pleased to share with our university colleagues and our friends throughout the State this important occasion, which represents another milestone in the history of the Uni- versity. As the ages of universities go in Europe and in Great Britain, the University of Califomia is a very young institution of higher learning. Bologna, Oxford, Cambridge, and the Sorbonne were founded in the period between the llth and 13th centuries when perhaps the values of advanced leaming were being rediscovered. Even compared with some univer- sities and colleges in the United States of America the University of Califor- nia is a very young institution. HAR- VARD has celebrated its 300th anni- versary, having been founded in 1636. YALE was chartered in 1701 and established at New Haven as YALE COLLEGE in 1718. WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE was established in 1693. This year, COLUMBIA UNI- VERSITY is celebrating its 200th an- niversary, having been established as KING'S COLLEGE in 1754. Fortunately, AGE is not a positive evidence of greatness, much less a RELIABLE INDEX to vitality. I am fully qualified to testify on both of these points. Although it is among the youngest of universities, the UNIVERSITY OF hairrnan Robert Metcalf of the CES department of entomology has something to be proud of is week. His group recently perfected a method of testing the spreading qualities of insect rays by hanging test tube-covered eight balls in orange trees. The current issue of POPULAR IENCE magazine tells the story and shows the eight ball on the cover. CALIFORNIA may justly claim to be among the greatest and most dis- tinguished. Some people, very un- wisely, I think, boast of the great size of the University of California, claim- ing that ours is the world's largest institution of higher learning. Like AGE, SIZE is not a criterion of true greatness. The criteria of real great- ness seem to me to comprise these qualities: 1. Conscientious and inspiring in- struction, based upon adequate knowledge and true learning and free from cynicism and super- ficiality. 2. Creative scholarship, measured not by the number of printed pages of published works but by the soundness and quality of research findings. Untrammelled freedom of in- quiry, investigation, and expres- sion, resting on a solid founda- tion of scientific objectivity and a keen sense of individual and social responsibility. A student body propelled in its quest for knowledge by a com- pelling impulse to self-realiza- tion. An imperishable vision of ever- receding horizons of new truths and never-conquered frontiers of new knowledge. A deep love of truth and a de- termination to pronouce it re- gardless of the consequences. An abiding belief in the educa- tion of the whole personality and a clear perception of the totality of the educational pattern. 8. Facilities for researcheincluding laboratories and libraries, mea- sured in terms of these criteria, the University of California on this 86th birthday can, I be- lieve, make a modest claim to a place among the world's great centers of leaming. The University of California at Riverside is, of course, only in its in- fancy, whether we think of the CITRUS EXPERIMENT STATION, which is the proud possessor of an international reputation, or the COL- LEGE OF LETTERS AND SCI- ENCE, which is just opening its in- fant eyes upon a perplexed, confused, bewildered and paradoxical world. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. , ' ipiiia' I f ----Nf ffl ,, E.

AWS Organizes On Campusg Elects Brumgardt Pres. The Associated Women Stu- dents of UCB, while not yet an official organization, had its first meeting on April first. The group elected four officers for the remainder of the semester. The officers are Janice Brumgardt, presi- dent, Pat Huber, vice-president, secre- tary-treasurer, Shirley Wright, and social chairman, Isabel Gotori. The Dean of Women, Miss Davis, told the members some of the duties the AWS had at other colleges and would probably have at UCR. On other compuses the AWS is in charge of welfare projects, establishes wo- men's honorary organizations such as Mortar Board, and deals with matters concerning women's organizations. The Sophomore class is sched- uling a beach party to be held this Saturday, April 10, from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The party will be held at Victoria Beach south of Laguna. All UCR students are invited. Large Crowds Expected At UCR Open House An open house for the public is planned by the campus for Sunday, April 25. Provost Gordon Watkins has an- nounced that faculty members of the Letters and Science College will be in their offices from 1-5 p.m. that day to demonstrate the facilities of the five modern buildings on the campus. Visitors will be shown the open- stack library, the gymnasium and swimming pool, the health center, the specially designed laboratories that permit students to hear lectures and conduct experiments in the same room, and other points of interest on the campus. There will be a need for student guides to conduct the visitors around the campus. Anyone interested in serving as a guide should contact either ASUCR President Chuck Young or leave their names in the Public Information Office. Area Service Clubs Donate Flagpole Funds Various service clubs in Riv- ersied and Arlington have donated S1000 to UCR for the purpose of erecting a flagpole on the campus. The service clubs involved in the donation include the Riverside Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, Optimists, 20-30, Soroptimists, and Zonta Clubs. The Arlington Lions Club, the Rubidoux Exchange Club, Rubidoux Lions Club. The flagpole will be installed and dedicated in connection with the dedication of the College the week of October 17th, 1954. Representatives of the service clubs will be invited to attend the ceremonies. In a letter to Provost Cordon S. Watkins informing him of the gift, Mr. Lewis P. Alabaster, chaimlan of the committee, stated: All members of the participating clubs congradu- late you and your fine staff upon the development of the beautiful campus and buildings. We appreciate es- pecially, the fine program of the University to be offered the youths who are fortunate enough to come Within its halls. The Regents of the University have accepted the gift. Provost Watkins stated that he and President Robert Gordon Sproul felt that the gift is indicative of a deep and abiding interest in UCR. , Governing Body Moves To Seat AWS President By jim St. Clair As a result of Wednesday's Student Affairs Council meeting, an assembly of the entire student body has been scheduled for April 15th, Thursday. The pur- pose of the assembly is to amend the charter so as to seat the representatives of the newly or- ganized Associated Women Stu- dents Organization. The Student Affairs Commit- tee held its third meeting in the SS conference room Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. The meeting was called to order by ASUCB President Chuck Young. Due to the absence of the secretary, no minutes of the last meeting were read. Reports Called For President Young called for reports from several of the committees that had been previously established. Vaughn Blankenship, chairman of the committee in charge of the mas- cot contest, reported that almost a hundred names had been submitted for the mascot. It was his suggestion that the mascot committee select from these names about 25 of the best to present to the Student Affairs Council. he Council would then se- lect 5 of these names to be presented to the student body as a whole for their action. No Action Taken The Council also discussed the pos- sibility of selecting the final slate by April 25th in time for the open house. No action was taken. Chairman of the Social Commit- tee, Bill Kassell, submitted the report of his committee. They have requested fContinued on Page 42 Davis Campus Conference Site Each year representatives of the faculty of the various campuses of the University hold an annual All- University Faculty Conference.
