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.

The vis itors who came from all over Southern California arrived as early at 9:00 o'clock. The doors didn't open offi cially until one and visitors were still inspecting the campus as late as 6:80 Due to the enormous crowds con ducted tours by student guides be came impossible. However guides were stationed at strategic points where they could direct the visitors to places of interest on the campus Faculty members were on h ind to demonstrate the facilities of the buildings and to answer the visitoris questions. Interest seemed to lie main ly in the mascot names, the housing problem, adult education, and the faculty offices.

Student Activities Lack Support e At the beginning of the semester students hollered for ac- tivities. We were all saying that the campus was dead because there were no social functions. Well, kids, funds have been slowly running out on affairs that have had very poor support! You asked for these functions-now support them. You say we have too much homeworkf well so do the old faithfuls who have been putting in their appearances. Do you want outside activities? If you don't, say so. If you do, for pity's sake show it. Let's be an organized student body, let's show a little spirit. D0 you want facts? We started off pretty well at the Presi- dent's Reception and the post-election party. How about the junior Class' beach party? Oh, we can find time for the beach. But there were only about 45 people present. One-half to two- thirds would be a good percentage if we had an enrollment of 1000, but let's face it-we haven't. Then the Sophomore Class Party . . . fifteen or twenty people. Hide your heads in shame. Last, but not least, the Freshman Class Swim Party had from twenty to thirty people dragging in at odd times. ' We have at least two more affairs scheduled this year. Let's see some good backing for them. What kind of a record do we want as the first UCB student body! -by Jackie Holyoke New Or Old The question has arisen, what shall we do for next yearis ASUCR officers. Should we retain the present officers or should we elect new officers? The answer to this question must be ar- rived at soon. Therefore, we should give some thought to this problem. There are many people who share the same opinion as I-keep our present officers for another year. I believe the officers now in office have done a commendable job thus far and would continue to keep up the good work for another year. These officers have hardly had time to give their jobs the maximum of the abilities. I certainly believe they should be allowed to finish the many jobs that have been started. These officers have made a good start in organizing ASUCR. I believe we should heed the saying, Never change horses in the middle of the stream. If we elect new officers they will have to start at the beginning of the present problems in order to find a solution. Why should we throw the progress of our present Council out the window after hey have put in so much effort and work? With these facts in mind I appeal to the members of the ASUCR for a vote to retain our present officers and give them the chance to finish the job they have started and have done so well. -Bill Cowen Dean Returns From Conference In Roanoke, Va. Dean Thomas L. Broadbent re- turned to the UCB campus after an absence of two weeks while attend- ing the convention of the National Association of Student Personnel Ad- ministrators held at Roanoke, Virginia, May 1 through May 4. While this was the first year the Dean attended he was active on sev- eral committees and panel discussions including the Committee on Reception and Hospitality, the Committee on Fratemities and a luncheon meeting dealing with problems concerning the organization of student activities ad- ministration. Dean Broadbent has reported that most of the deans 'present at the con- vention knew of UCR beforehand. These deans expressed particular envy at the opportunity present here to establish good working relations among all segments of the campus community, faculty, students, and ad- ministration. They felt that we have the opportunity to establish organiza- tions without the problems apparent on many of their campuses. For ex- ample, many campuses are having problems with fraternities with dis- crimination clauses in their constitu- tions. This can be avoided here. During his trip Dean Broadbent visited the University of Utah, North- western University, the University of Chicago, Washington and Lee Uni- versity, Tulane, and Texas Christian Uiversities to confer with adminis- trative officials of these campuses. Particularly, he was concemed with over-all organization of student activi- ties, with the ramifications of housing problems and with the methods of organizing and recognizing student organizations.
