All members of the ASUCR are cordially invited to attend the party according to Frosh President, Al Bielskis. The affair will be stag or drag. However, it is not possible to bring outside guests due to the re- stricted funds available for the party. Refreshments will be served during the course of the party. They will include hot dogs, potato chips, and soft drinks. , The committee in charge hopes to have infomial dancing on the gym floor during or after the party. Music will be provided by records. The committee has also planned some entertainment for the event. Vaughn Blankenship will play the piano and others will also attempt to entertain. However, it was pointed out that there is still a need for more entertainers. If you would like to par- ticipate contact A1 Bielskis. First ,Dramatic Production To Be Staged May 12-14 H1480 And All That, UCR's first dramatic production is scheduled to be presented May 12, 13, and 14 at 8:00 p.m. in the large lecture hall SS 1000. The program, a dramatic dialogue on art, music, architecture, and paint- ing in the Middle Ages, points up the controversy that existed during that t11ne period as to whether art should be purely religious or purely secular. By way of illustrating the prefer- ence for the secular art the play Pierre Patelanu has been woven into thc over-all production. The cast of Pierre Patelann stars Dave Miller as Master Pierre, Pamela Payton as Gill, Bill Nelsen as Draper, Francis Mason as Shep, and Dr. jack Beatty as the judge. Drs. Eugene Purpus, William Sharp, Edwin Simon, and Francis Carney will take part in the dramatic dialogue while Dr. Jerome Rothen- berg, students Corann McNair, and Martha Beckley will sing. Drs. Andre Mulecot, Adelaide Brokaw, and George Knox will ac- company them with music. These musicians will perform sacred and secular music of the Middle Ages composed by two medie- val musicians, Okeghem and Dufy. These two composers worked in Bur- gundy and in Paris. They are con- sidered two of the outstanding com- posers of the late 15th century. Active participants in the dramatic dialogue, singing, and play will be garbed in costumes appropriate to thc time period. Dr. William Sharp has had over-all direction of the program assisted by Drs. Purpus and Sharp. Hal Telford is acting as assistant director and Dick Moretti as production manager. Students may pick up tickets for anyone of the three nights in the office of the Dean of Students. Dr. Sharp has previously urged that stu- dents take only that number of tickets that they can use. A mailbox for Letters to the Editors has been established in the foyer outside the Coffee Shop immediately under the student bulletin board. Students who have any gripes about the newspaper or any other facet of campus activities or has any opinion whatsoever they may wish to express are urged to use the box. Letters must be signed with your name. However, if you do not wish your name to be pub- lished please state so. In such a case the editors will use a pseu- donyin to replace it. The CUB staff urges all stu- dents to use this as a means of communication with all other students and faculty members.

Tentative Plans Made For Inter- School Athletics Tentative plans for forthcoming athletic competitions are presently being formulated by the UCR coach- ing staff. Definite scheduling will depend upon enrollment next year and upon student interest and participation in inter-collegiate sports competition. Present plans call for UCB partici- pation in inter-collegiate basketball, tennis, golf, swimming, and cross- country. Whether UCR will actually be able to field teams in these sports is still undetermined. It is hoped that at least freshman teams in these activi- ties can engage in competition. If teams can be fielded they will be in the Southern California Inter- Collegiate Athletic Conference. This conference includes the University of Redlands, Whittier, Occidental, Po- mona and Cal-Tech. Dr. Hewitt is presently preparing a budget of next year's tentative ex- penditures. Much of the success of the present plans will depend upon funds allotted the Physical Educa- tion Department by the University and by the Student Body.

Housing Moy Be Problem Next Year' An estimated 10,000 people walked through the UCR campus Sunday, April 25th. Faculty members and student guides were asked numerous questions. One of the questions most frequently asked concerned housing for the forthcoming year. Many parents were concerned with the complete lack of housing facilities on the campus itself. Many others were simply concerned that their kids are a little up in the air over housing next year. It was a fairly simple problem to house this semester's student body of 126. However, if next year's enrollment is as high as is anticipated the problem will become increasingly acute. There is little or no possibility that the University will have student dormitories available next year. Further, there is very little possibility that even should the University acquire the Can- yon Crest Housing area it will be available for occupancy next year. As a result, it will be necessary to find housing in the commu- nity for next year's students. Housing a potential 600 students in a community the size of Riverside is going to be difficult. The University has established rather stringent minimum re- quirements for approved student housing particularly for women students. These requirements must be met by the householder. Many potential quarters were rejected last year for not meeting these requirements. No complete solution to the problem can be presented here. Part of the solution may be cooperative housing such as has been established on the Berkeley campus. Certainly the cooperation of tl1e community, the fullest cooperation, is necessary. Again the attitudes of the students will be an important factor. Dean Loda Mae Davis has been and is working on the prob- lem. She is hopeful that the situation will not be too serious. In regard to the whole problem there will be a meeting of all students interestted in housing for the fall semester 1954. The meeting will be held Wednesday, May 12, at 4:30 p.m. in SS 1203. Interested students are urged to attend. -Jim St. Clair Haste Makes Waste Wednesday, May 12, the ASUCR will go to the polls to cast their ballots either in favor of or in opposition to the present mas- cot selections. Those selections are Corsairs, Condors, Bearcats, Bobcats, Golden Falcons, Panthers, and Rebels. I am sure that the committee charged with the selection of a final slate of mascots to be presented to the .student body have done the best possible job in the selection. However, it is my opinion that none of the above listed names are sufficiently worth- while to adopt as the mascot for UCB. None of them have any particular appeal to most of us. They are not too catchy, not too meaningful, and do not particularly well lend themselves to songs, cheers, etc. Is it absolutely necessary that we should select our mascot this semester? I should say no. After all what is the hurry? There are other universities and colleges that have taken several years before they have finally selected their mascot. San Diego State College, for instance, took two years before they finally selected Aztecs as their mascot name. Others have taken as long. I would recommend that rather than rushing into this selec- tion of a mascot we take our time. Let's wait until such a time as a name is presented that will have a more or less universal appeal to all of us. It would be far better to wait a while rather than rushing to select a name that we will all dislike, a name that has no particular significance where UCB is concerned. It is my recommendation, therefore, that on May 12 we cast our ballots favoring waiting until such a time as a name is pre- sented that will have an appeal to all of us or at least most of us. -by Marilyn Merchant ' 0 6786 . , By VAUGHN BLANKENSHIP The time draws near when UCB students shall select a mascot. If we lived down in Window Rock, Arizona the process of selecting a name would be quite simple. The Navajo Indians have simplified the tedious job of selecting names by an ingenious and -I feel-a meretorious process. In- stead 'of naming the kid John or james or Valadimir-or some other simple name-they merely take the prodigy in their arms, stroll casually to the door, cast their eyes around and the first thing that they see- junior gets the name. It may be 'Crazy Horse,' 'Sitting Bull,' or 'Little-Half-Moon-House-On-Hill,' no matter, junior is christened. I hate to think what results this might have if the same process were applied to UCB. Two weeks ago I sat on a com- mittee that narrowed the names down to the present number. I didn't feel satisfied then. I feel even less satis- fied now'-especially after talking to a few other dissatisfied people. I am still in favor of 'Arabs'l Out of all of the people I have talked too- most of them agree with me. We must select a name. Trying to tell an incoming student that this place is a college without having a mascot is like trying to convince Pedro that he hates chile sauce in his 'Chiwawa'. Half of the unifying force of a stu- dent body comes when they can proudly boast, We're the UCR 'Cottonpickers'. There have been two objections raised against using 'Arabs'- or leav- ing it on the list to be voted on. The first of these is that Coachella Valley High School is known as the 'Arabsf I am certain that this willnot harm the standing of UCR-considering the fact that Coachella Valley High School houses a mere two or three hundred member student body. As far as harming the high school, this I doubt. Many, many high schools are known as the 'Bears' and 'Bruins' and I doubt if it has hurt them, as a matter of fact half of them not only use the name, but the fight song of UCLA. The second reason is simple. The local businessmen and various civic groups are concerned lest the name 'Arabsi convey the meaning of desert and thus cast the stigma of Sahara, dates, camels, harems, and sand upon the city of Riverside. To this I say what is more appro- priate? Riverside may not be a sand dune-but it misses being an Oasis by a long shot-especially come the middle of July. I also ask what other college has the same name? None. I also reminded them of the colorful pagents we could have, pagents that could not be equaled anywhere in the United States simply because we have originality-and a name that every other college doesn't have. Lets keep all of these things in mind. The Stu- dent Affairs Committee may take some action to restore 'Arabs' to the list. I hope so. In Los Angeles people are e: rattlesnake meat. In Winnipeg are eating whale meat, and in F11 lmuch to the disgust of Pogo 6 teesj they are eating possum. French West Africa, they have a good deal further. They are ez politicians. A dispatch from Paris tells story. M. Victor Biakaboda, Se member from the Ivory Coast, fa to take his seat after the june re- Officials there are convinced all unwillingly, he has achieve supreme objective of every seeker. He has gotten right i his constituents. Other politicians be their poison, but he is-or x their meat. There is a clear warning her UCR politicians who don't wa put 'Arabs' on the list. The r snake meat supply is limited. meat is not available. Possum 1 soon palls. The student body eventually cast an eye on the St Affairs Committee. They may c the galleries not to appraise the ty of the speech, but the quanti the speaker, and in line with French West African prece- abolish the Student Affairs Con tee lg the simple process of demc ing e members. IN VINO VERITAS. In wine is truth-and a lot of other tfl namely one hell of a headache, heck of a good time, and one roaring Spring Vacation. Thou venture on safe ground when i that for many, Spring Vacation far from roaring. At least it good thing to keep the roaring until the Bromo Seltzer took You can't very well say what t fuel cars are run on during Spring Vacation Week, but five miles someone had to ge and blow the foam off the carb tor.
