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.

UCR To Host High School Students Friday, Moy l4 On May 14, from 2:00 to 5:00Ip.m., UCR will entertain high school and junior college students from all Southern Califomia. A student-faculty committee com- posed of Bill Kassel, Janice Brum- gardt, Dr. Donald Corbin, Dr. Robert Wild, and Registrar Clinton C. Gilliam have made arrangements to show the campus to 300 or more interested stu- dents. Posters and lettcrs from the office of the Registrar have been sent to all high schools and junior colleges. Re- sponses from these schools indicate that interest in UCR is high amongst the students. A program has been planned for that afternoon. Refreshments of orange juice and cookies will be served on the veranda overlooking the swimming pool. Recreational swim- ming for the visitors has been sched- uled for that aftemoon. Students will be provided with the necessary equipment and lifeguards and locker room attendants will be on hand dur- ing the aftemoon. For those students not interested in swimming tentative plans for a dance have been made. At the beginning of the afternoon the visiting students will meet in the gymnasium to receive instructions for the tour of the campus and to meet Dr. john Olmsted, representing the Provost, who will briefly tell the students about UCR. ASUCR Prexy, Chuck Young, will also be introduced to the visitors. After introductions have been made and instructions received the high school and junior college people will be taken on a tour of the camp- us. Student guides will show them through all five of the new buildings. Special arrangements are being made so that students may see the language lab and laboratories in the Physical Science and Life Science Divisions. Information regarding anthropology, geography, and Subject A will be given to the students by the instruc- tors in those fields. Bill Kassel, ASUCR Vice-President has over-all responsibility for the tours.

Pete Van Vechten reported on the meeting of the Freshman Week Com- mittee. He showed the group two hat styles to choose from. It was decided that a blue and gold crew cap would be used. The hat would cost about 31.25 and be required of all new freshmen. Janice Brumgardt reported on yearbook sales, which have been very good among students. President Chuck Young announced that student body elections would be held May 12 to select a mascot, vote on the adoption of the new by- laws, choose an AWS head sponsor, and decide whether students would pay a mandatory student body fee in the future. Margie England announced that the final list of mascot suggestions was: Falcons, Arabs, Bearcats, Cor- sairs, and Condors. The winning mas- cot would be decided by majority vote.
