Items to be presented to the ASUCR for ap- proval will include the proposed mandatory student activity fee, the selection of a mascot, and the selec- tion of AWS Head Sponsor for Fresh- man Week. On the latter item only the women students will be allowed to vote. Thursday, May 13, at 1:30 p.m., an ASUCR meeting will be held in Room 1000 of the Social Sciences Building. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and adopt, if possible, a revised charter which will be pre- sented to the student body at that time. During the meeting the proposed mandatory fee came under discus- sion. There was talk that perhaps it would be best if two sums were pre- sented to the ASUCR for approval. These sums are 510.00 per semester or 87.50 per semester. Al Bielskis and Pete Van Vechten presented to the Committee pro- posals regarding Freshman Week. It was suggested that Freshman stu- dents be required to perform various feats such as memorizing all the campuses of the University, the divi- sions of the College of Letters and Science and of the CES. It was suggested that Freshman Week be considered an effort to ac- quaint new students with the Uni- versity and to assimilate them rather than making it a week of hazing. The Associated Women Students will select a Head Sponsor for wo- men students who will have over-all responsibility to see that they are acquainted with the University and with each other. , The proposal was made that the sponsor system should continue for the full year rather than for just one week. The Mascot Committee will hold a meeting at 4:30 today with Provost Cordon S. Watkins in an effort to reduce the present number of mascot entries to 25. At a later date these 25 names will be presented to the Student Affairs Committee for furth- er reduction to five. These five names fContinued on Page 41 The Physical Educaion De- partment has announced that the swimming pool will be open during vacation.

'Average Student' Scholarship Fund Donated School A new S1000 scholarship for a good average student at the Uni- versity of Califomia was announced this week by the trustees of the Al- bert B. Cutter Memorial Fund. The scholarships will extend over the four years of the reeipientis course at UCB, payable S250 yearly. The student selected by Provost Gor- don S. Watkins, acting through the campus scholarship committee, must be one with leadership, an interest in citizenship and sufficient industry to indicate that he or she will obtain a degree. ' The provost was notified of the Cutter Fund boardis action in a letter from' Mrs. Helen G. Lawson, 4509 Brentwood Avenue, executive secre- tary of the fund. Dr. Watkins replied: You may be assured that we shall do some careful screening and select an excellent young person as the beneficiary of this splendid contribu- tion. May I say that I am particularly gratified that the recipient of the scholarship may hold it for four years, provided satisfactory scholar- shi and de ortment are maintained P c c . 'Plug will make the scholarship a great- ly coveted one. Mrs. Florence E. Flaherty, pres- ident of the Cutter Fund, said the fund was established by the late Mrs. Cutter in memory of her husband. Following Mrs. Cutter's death, Su- perior Court Judge O. K. Morton in 1932 established a board of trustees of the fund. Present members, aside from Mrs. Flaherty are D. S. Bell, first vice-president, John E. Dole, second vice-president, john. M. Ache- son, secretary, and Rita A. Mackey, treasurer. A laboratory is now being built at the Citrus Experiment Station to provide scientists of the Entomology Department with adequate facilities for com- pounding insectisides. According to Dr. Robert Met- calf this is the first laboratory of its type outside of private in- dustry. It is being built at a cost of I S30,000.

Activities Fee Under Discussion The ASUCB must soon make a decision concerning a manda- tory student activity fee. This first semester the University authorities allotted us sums for student activities such as the newspaper, yearbook, dances and the like. However, it is doubtful that the University could or will grant us such moneys in the future. Then too, it must be remembered that we have had to budget rather carefully even this semester so that we would have suffi- cient funds for all activities. Consequently, the Student Activities Council has prepared a measure to be submitted to the student body as a whole that will establish a S10 per semester mandatory student activity fee. There has been some discussion heard both pro and con on this measure. As a result it was thought that certain aspects of the measure should be clarified. First. The plan of the Student Activities committee is tenta- tive and subject to the final approval of the entire student body in a secret ballot. Second. The proposal calls for a MANDATORY fee. With the exception of the Berkeley campus, the branches of the Univer- sity have made their student activity fee compulsory at registra- tion. UC, with its large enrollment finds it unnecessary to have a compulsory fee. Approximately 5071 of their entire student body buys student activity cards. This provides them with sufficient funds to carry on student activities. Third. The fees vary within the University. Davis and Berkeley charge 37.50 per semester, UCLA charges 88.00 per semester and Santa Barbara charges 810.00 per semester. The fee at Santa Barbara includes the full price of the student yearbook. The proposed 310.00 fee for UCR can be changed to one of the lower sums if the student body desires. However, it should be pointed out that anything less than 37.50 per semester would, of necessity, force us to curtail our activities and to budget them very closely. It is estimated that on the basis of an enrollment of 600 stu- dents the ASUCR would have an income of approximately 312,000 per year if a 810.00 activity fee were charged and 89,000 per year if the fee were 357.50 per semester. The student fee will finance such activities as sports, debate, drama, the Model U.N., the newspaper, dances, and many other activities. There is a need for a compulsory activities fee. The amount must, of course, be determined by the students involved. It should be pointed out that this matter must be decided before the end of this semester in order that we may have money for activities dur- ing the Fall term. The matter is one for serious thought and discussion by all students. If you have an opinion on the matter, either pro or con, the CUB would appreciate hearing from you. -Jim St. Clair Support The Yearbook UCB may or may not have a year book this semester. It de- pends on the students and how well they support the sale of year book subscriptions. If we have a yearbook it will include all the copies of our newspaper along with pictures of the activities during the semester. The school cannot afford to print such a book with- out a strong backing of the students, faculty, and other members of the staff of the University. The girls in the AWS will be in charge of selling the subscrip- tions for the yearbook. The book will cost 31.00. Those that want a book must order it when the AWS members are selling subscrip- tions. . The book will go on sale April 18 and sales will last until Ma 8. ylt will have a bound cover and will be a remembrance of the first semester of UCB's existence. I urge all of you to support the yearbook drive and to buy one from the AWS members selling them. -Bill Anderson ' 0 H406 , .

'NSY 4 ' rf . 'M 0 For the life of me I can't figure out why it is called 'Spring Vacation'. To call spending a week at a local beach where it costs you a fortune to even find a place to stay, where you live and eat and sleep in sand, where your subsistance usually consists of several cases and a pound of raw weinies, where you spend seven days buming Hand .peeling-buming -.and peelingjunless you're like me and get the hell burned out of you the first time you stick your nose into the sunl, and where your sleeping hours range from 3 a.m. to no sleep at all, a 'Vacation' is certainly a supreme stretch of the imagination. While if we were much closer to 'Spring', we would be celebrating the fourth of July. I think they ought to close this factory down for a month so we could really kill ourselves-then may- be Henri Bergson tHumanities 2BJ wouldn't look so bad. But this is supposed to be the Easter season. I'll bet more guys have been stoned and more guys have been thrown in the hoosegow for the 'one for the road' during the 'season' of the Prince of Peace, than at any other time. This includes both the Christmas and Easter vacation holi- days. I turned my radio on to what I was a disc jockey show last as I was driving back from thought Sunday a cold, miserable day at Laguna. It tumed out to be a sermon. Some woman the inside walls of P. S. 32 was tell- ing a bunch of chanting people all about Easter. She had a command of speech and an accent that made some of the characters in Caldwell's Tobacco Road sound like Doctor's of History at the University of Cali- fornia at Riverside. It sounded more like a tobacco auction than a sermon. I hope I hurt nobody's feelings. I realize that Freedom of 'Sermon' is written in the Constitution but if you look closely you'll also find Freedom to Criticize and Gripe writ- ten there too. I just think there is a proper way to 'sermon.' who had probably never seen If you look carefully, you'll se guy with red hair leading the par to Laguna.
