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.

l..I Riverside, California, May 14, 1954 No. 12 :using Situation For UCR uclents Next Fall Favorable Dean Davis explained to an interested group Wednesday that .pects for housing next fall will probably be favorable. Esti- lrig that between 500 and 700 students will be enrolled at UCB fall, Dean Davis explained that upon past experience approxi- zly 120 of these students would desire housing in the com- .1ty. . . It was pointed up that the possibilities for University operated ent housing were not too good. The University has no present s, for the construction of dormitories and it is doubtful that University will acquire Canyon Crest in time to be of use year. e meeting then tumed to a ssion of cooperative housing for nts. Dean Davis reported that had called several real estate :s in town to inquire about the -ibility of large homes next year. he basis of figures given her by -real estate agents Dean Davis ithat there would probably be ber of large homes available for nt rentals. According to figures inted the group housing would each student between 2820 and er month including all utilities. 'Donald Corbin, professor of mics, pointed out that the most ante prerequisite to successful rative housing is a willingness e part of students involved to rate with other students. Corbin also pointed out that ts organizing a cooperative for irst time would have to bring rchase, dishes, silver, cooking s, linens, etc. Other problems involve cooking, buying of house keeping and house- ement. stated that students living in ratives at Berkeley pay about er month or S200 to S225 per ter. On top of this they also approximately four hours per definite conclusions or decisions made at the meeting which was ed primarily to point up the difficulties inherent in the co- ive housing situation. dents are reminded that rthur C.

At the time set by the division, the student will repoit to his faculty adviser and arrange his program for the fall semester. On and after June 1, students may obtain from the Office of the Registrar the necessary ma- terials for registration by mail.

ERS TO THE EDITORS THE EDITORS: -have observed a movement on campus to establish traditions, cots, and policies in the short od of this first term. I would like sk two questions and I would also 'to see the ASUCR give these tions some. serious thought: 1. at is the all-fired rush? 2. Why t traditions,-'mascots, and poli- ,- be established NOW?

Students are asked to please pick up a copy. F rosh Sponsor Swimming Party The freshman class held its first party Saturday, May 8, with approxi- mately 35 students in attendance. Swimming, dance music, and en- tertainment were provided by the class. Entertainment included a div- ing exhibition by Bud Barton. Bud performed five basic dives including: a forward one-half somersault from a pike position, a backward somer- sault from a pike position, a gainer somersault from a tuck position. These dives were all from the high board. From the low board Bud performed a full twist somersault from a pike position and a cutaway somersault from a tuck position. Miss Joanne Royer gave a demon- stration of synchronized swimming consisting of her interpretation of Starlight. Vaughn Blankenship gave his in- terpretation of Grimmis Fairy Tales for Hep Kids. Patty and Linda Huber sang Red, Red Robin, Zing Went the Strings of My Heart. Al Bielskis, Frosh President, M.C.'d Educ. Program At UCR Clarified Answering numerous inquiries con- cerning UCR education courses, Dr. Arthur C. Turner, chainnan of the Division of Social Sciences of the new College of Letters and Science, Said yesterday the courses will cover basic subjects like child development and the history and philosophy of education. Emphasis will be placed on broad knowledge of fundamental subject matter rather than a superficial smat- tering of educational methods, he pointed out. Dr. Robert A. Nisbet, dean of the College, said although opportunities for practice teaching are not now available it is possible for any stu- dent looking forward to a career as a teacher to begin work at UCR. He said the student could meet the great majority of requirements leading to a elementary or secondary school credential and finish work by SMALL PIANOS Bought - Sold - Rented Steinway - Knabe - etc. 55 a mo. up GosseTt's - 4024 7th transfering to another campus, such as UCLA. It is very definitely the intention of the new college to explore at the earliest possible time arrangements for the granting of elementary and secondary school credentials, Dr. Nisbet added. The Dean pointed out that such arrangements necessarily can be Completed only by action of the uni- versity president and regents after due consultation with appropriate representatives of the public schools. The UCR program for training prospective teachers was explained by Provost Gordon S. Watkins in these words: ' We think it is important to know how to teach, but we are equally certain that it is important to know what to teach. Teachers impoverished in subject matter in the arts, letters, and sci- ences are likely to be mechanically- minded, uninteresting and uninspir.. ing teachers? ' We desire, first, to give prospec- tive teachers a sound, well-rounded cultural education, and, second, Within this framework of broad knowledge to teach them how to pre- sent their subject matter effectively. The Provost said prospective teach- ers will constitute only a small per. centage of the large numbers who eventually will enroll at UCR, but the faculty desires to tum out uni excelled elementary and secondary teachers, the kind we think can be produced only through a liberal arts program.
