Broadbent has extended an invitation to UCLA members of the Cal Club to be his guests at UCR tomorrow, May 22, for a business and swimming meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the placing of a big Cn on the mountains behind the campus. As in the past, the Cal Club is anx- ious to sponsor and to participate in the construction of a traditional Big C the purpose of which is to foster a sense of pride in the University. It is hoped that during the meet- ing plans for the organization of a chapter of the Cal Club at UCR will be made. It is possible that such ar- rangements can be made so that a chapter will be chartered as part of dedication ceremonies this fall. The Cal Club was founded in 1934 CContinued on Page 4l Changed By Com. Unforeseen complications have necessitated a change in plans for UCR's first semi-formal Spring Dance. As a result of University regu- lations which require that all bands playing on the campus carry Work- men's Compensation Insurance, it has been necessary to cancel plans calling for Iohnny Allen's band to play for the dance. Substituting for Allen will be Johnny Guinn and his band. Because of the change in bands it has also been necessary to change the date of the dance from Saturday, May 22, to Friday, May 21, that is tonight. The dance will still be held in the Physical Education Building from 9 to 12. It will be semi-formal, dark suits for the men and dressy dresses for the women. The affair will still be dates only at 351.50 per couple. Ticket sales will close today, an- nounced Bill Kassel, ASUCR Vice- President, and chairman of the Social Affairs Committee. No tickets will be sold at the doors. Faculty and administrative person- nel have been invited to attend. Citizen's Univ. Comm. To Host UCR Students The Citizen's University Commit- tee has extended an invitation to all UCR students and their wives or husbands to attend a banquet in honor of the UCR student body. Plans have been made to invite stu- dents Thursday, May 27, to the main dining room of the Mission Inn. A 6:30 reception for all students will precede the scheduled 7 p.m. dinner. Dean Loda Mae Davis and stu- dents Martha Beckley and Jim St. Clair met with Mr. Phil Boyd, Mr. Howard Hays Ir., Miss Frances Frazer, Mr. W. A. Thompson, Mrs. Henry Keil, Mr. T. F. Gore, and Mr. Buchanan of the Committee last Tuesday, May 8, to discuss arrange- ments for the affair. Members of the Committee pro- posed that students should be en- couraged to dress informally, suits for the men and dressy dresses for the women. Name cards will identify both stu- dents and the members of the Com- mittee. This has been done since it is planned that each student, who will have a personal host for the evening, can identify and in turn be identified by his host. Arrangements have been made to provide entertainment for a part of the evening to include among other things a strolling accordianist. Mr. Phil Boyd will briefly address the group explaining the Citizen's Committee. During the course Mr. Boyd expressed purpose of the dinner to the effect that Riverside realized that it was now a college town and hoped to make students realize that the community is very happy to have them here. All UCR students are urged to at- tend this dinner with their husbands and wives. Because it is necessary that the Committee know approxi- mately how many guests to expect students should sign their names in the Dean of Students Office, if they are going, before 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 25. STUDENTS CURRENTLY registered who wish to continue in the fall semester 1954 may register and enroll in classes by mail during the summer months. In order to accomplish this, an appointment for advising must be made with the student's divi- sion between Monday, May 24 and Friday, May 28. At the time set by the division, the student will report to his faculty adviser and arrange his program for the fall semeste1'. On and after june 1, students may obtain from the Office of the Registrar the necessary materials for registra- tion by mail. This procedure should make it much easier for the continuing students to ac- complish their registration. purpose of the of the meeting in essence the when he Stated

Farce l480 And All That Opens To Capacity First-Night Crowd -N ' By W. R. Williams The students, faculty members, and friends of UCR, after having witnessed the opening performance of H1480 and all That Wednesday night in the auditorium, came away as pleased as kittens who had just finished lapping up bowls of warm milk-that is to say, they were ex- tremely gratified with the quality of the entertainment which had just been presented them. The performance, which never flaggedor became boresome, was 'of a.decidedly higher calibre than most of the first-nighters had an- ticipated. Every perfonner dished -out his or her role with an obvious relish which seemed to advertize that I, and I alone am the star of your show. Yet, no one managed or even tried to steal the limelight from his fellow thespians. The theme of this well-balanced bit of pot pouri pointed up the con- troversy during the 14th century as to whether art, music and architec- ture should be purely religious or purely secular. Dr. Jack Beatty set the stage for -the scholarly discussions of PARI- SIAN men of letters, Drs. Purpus, Ballots Show ASUCR Favors Delay On Mascot As a result ofthe ballots cast by the ASUCR in elections May 12 it was decided that no immediate choice should be made as regards to a mas- cot. The count was as follows: Arabs, 16, Bearcats, 75 Condors, 6, Corsairs, 2 votes, and Falcons, 8 votes. How- ever, a large majority, 561voters, cast their ballots in favor of delaying the choice of mascot. A mandatory student activities fee was also approved by the large mar- gin of ,80 in favor and 17 against. D owever, as regards the amount to be charged the balloting was much closer, 40 in favor of a 37.50 fee and 43 in favor of a 310.00 per semester fee. Martha Beckley was chosen by the Associated Women Students to be Head Sponsor for Sponsor Week. Almost 8071 of the student body cast votes in the election. 9 of Riverside M IEKSES' WOM EN'S Fashion Clothes 3855 MAIN William Sharp, Edwin Simon and Francis Camey. These gentlemen in turn, at the special behest of scho- lar Sharp, went on to introduce the farce Pierre Patelin, which saw Pamela Payton and Dave Miller las the lawyer Patelin and his wifel, Bill Nelson Kas Jacques, the Draperl, Frank Mason fas Thibault Lambkin, the sheepherderl, and Dr. Beatty Cas the ludxcrously solemn judgel, tum in performances which, either individually or collectively, would be difficult to top. Coran McNair, Dr. Jerome Roth- enberg and Martha Beckley did an admirable job as the singers. A spe- cial aside is due Miss Beckley, whose melodious sole work did much to enchance the entire bit. Drs. Adelaide Brokaw, George Knox and Andre Malccot provided the singer's background music. Gene of Claremont fmore com- monly known as Dr. Eugene Pur- pusl and director William Sharp are especially to be commended for their delightfully inspired costum- ing and staging, respectively. Dr. Jean Boggs, although not present on the stage, was represented for the entire performance by her well- executed mural which hung behind the players in a centrally positioned spot. Much of the wittiest dialogue was taken up with a discussion of this very mural. Critically speaking then, I have not a leg to criticize on, so to speak. The farce was definitely one of the finest pieces of theatre ever to have been staged in Riverside. And-it has to be seen to be appreciated. The annual staff would appre- ciate students loaning snapshots of UCR students in action, parties, etc., for the snapshot sec- tion of the yearbook. UCR Welcomes H. S., J. C. Visitors On behalf of the staff of the UCR CUB may I extend a cordial welcome to all high school and junior college students visiting our campus today. We are happy that you have an opportunity to see the campus and its facilities of which we feel justifi- ably proud. . Unfortunately, it will be impos- sible for you to see and understand facets of University life other than those represented by our physical plant. We Wish you had the opportunity to sit in on our classes, to see our stu- dent government in action, and to attend some of the student body func- tions and parties. One cannot truly appreciate UCR unless he is a part of student life. However, we hope that by j tours throughout the campus and your contacts with student gu you will gain some appreciation the pride we all feel in UCR. May we hope you have a g time during your visit and may further hope we will see many you as students at UCR next fall jim St. Clair Managing Ed I would like to take this opj tunity to welcome, on behalf of Associated Students, all the l school and junior college stud who are visiting our campus todaj We, the first student body of college, are very proud of the f ties this campus has to offer.

Want A Job This Summer? UCB's first semester is almost over. Most of us are eagerly ' me 0 anticipating summer vacation even though it means we may have to go to work. Most of us, at least I do, consider summer vacation as just that-a vacation. We let up on practically everything we have been doing during the year-especially anything that is connected with school. However, there is one thing I urge you not to let up on- selling and publicizing UCB. There are no better salesmen for the University than contented, happy, and enthusiastic students who are willing and able to sell their University to other students. Certainly Provost Watkins, Dean Nisbet, Howard Cook, and many others of the academic and administrative staffs have done marvelous jobs selling the University to the people of Riverside and the surrounding communities. As valuable as this publicity is to us it still is impersonal of necessity and does not actually reach the prospective student. That's where we can be of service. If you are able and willing YOU can sell UCB to others. In your daily contacts with friends and acquaintances you will have an opportunity-to express your views on UCB. Some may be called upon to address student groups giving you another chance to sell UCB. Some will have an excellent opportunity while traveling during the summer to interest others in the campus. Through these personal contacts you can do more to acquaint and interest prospective students in UCB than several thousand words of type could ever do. -Iim St. Clair Lets Walt - For What? Over three fourths of the UCB student body stepped to the polls May 14 to select a mascot. The results are known to every- one-fifty-six members of the student body wrote 'Letis Wait' on their ballots and as a result we have no mascot and are still known as that new UC campus at the Citrus Experiment Station in Biversidef, Now the die has been cast-at least for the coming year. At the risk of sounding too much like a Monday Morning Quarter- back, let us now consider what has been gained by the postpone- ment. We now have no name for the newspaper. We now have no name for the annual. We now have no theme for that annual. We have no yells, no fight songs, no name to give any athletic teams which might be formed in the next year. We now have no decals to stick on the windshield of a car. We now have no mascot. All of these things are of importance to any college. Many students feel that a name will evolve, that one day someone will say, That,s itf' and that will be it. There is an old saying-something about pleasing all the people, etc. The secret of a mascot name is becoming accustomed to it. The reason that 'Sagehorns' sounds good and that 'Trojans' seems to have that certain ring is because Pomona College has adopted the first, SC the second and students of those institutions, sports writers, and college fans have become accustomed to them. The same would be true of any name that UCB would choose. So We Wait-why? what for? what is gained? -Vaughn Blankenship AN INFORMAL discussion of British and Canadian universi- ties will be conducted at 1:30 p.1n. Monday, May 24, in SSH 1101 by Dr. I. W. Olmsted and Dr. A. C. Turner. Dr. Olmsted, chairman of the UCB Commit- tee on Drama, Lectures, and Music, arranged the discussion in answer to interest aroused by Professor Kenneth Lindsay of Oxford University in his lecture Monday, May 17. U Panhellenic 'Awards UCR Scholarships Members of the Riverside Panhel- lenic Association have awarded three scholarships valued at S150 each to three women seniors at Polytechnic High School who plan to attend UCB next fall. Jeanie Parlett, a language and dra- matics studentg Carol McDonald, science major, and Marcia Nish, pros- pective elementary teacher, were awarded the scholarships on the basis of outstanding records in leadership and scholarship in high school.

Origin- ally the shindig was planned for Saturday night, the price was set at 81.50 a couple-with Uncle Sammy getting no share of the take -and featuring Johnny Allen's Swing Band. Somebody not only fumbled the ball but was tackled fifteen minutes before they left the dressing room. Anyway, the way it turned out, the dance is tonight, Johnny Quinn and His Hot Five are scheduled for the main bout, and the Lord only knows what Uncle Sammy is going to pocket KI understand that the cost of liv- ing went up 75c a fifth the other dayl. IT'S CABBAGE BY A HEAD. A certain individual-Mr. D o o dl e s Weaver of Spike Jones and William Tell Overture fame-attended Stan- ford University some fifteen years ago where his antics made him somewhat of a hero. Since that time he has be- come the 'Paul Bunyan, of college lore, his name having gone down as the 'Ideal College Goof-Off'. Perhaps the one antic which has endeared him to more college hearts than any other single one occurred one registration day. Sev- eral thousand people were lined up, waiting to pay their registra- tion fees. The sun was high and hot overhead and someone was heard to remark that 'it reminded them a hell of a lot of Riverside, come Iune'. Everyone was feeling grouchy. Then somewhere at the edge of the crowd a commotion started. The crowd split-everyone straining to see what was happen- ing. Several voices were calling out- Make way, make way! Finally Doodles appeared, com- plete with turban, howdah, and two servants at each end carrying it and him. AS THEY PBOCEEDED through the crowd Doodles flung handfulls of 'pennies to the crowd-the crowd cheered wildly. When the small group finally reached the cashier, twc the servants rolled out a carpet Doodles and he proceeded to briskly up to the desk and pl down two large sacks of money. paid his tuition with 6,000 penr CI hate to think what a mess 5 action would throw the local fine office into. They have a hard eno time figuring out how many por of hamburger they can get by or the Coffee Shop each day, witl trying to figure out how many dc bills is in 6,000 penniesj. Another one they like to I about Mr. 'It's-a-beautiful-day- the-races' occurred during a vu solemn un-veiling of the statue Leland Stanford which was co plete with frown and majestica folded arms. Half of the State California was present, includi Stanford Alumns and the Coverr of California. Stanford's President strod to platfonn and slowly pulled the 4 tc release the canvass covering. covering fell away to reveal Lel and Doodles Weaver sitting in arms, drinking a can of beer. Rumor has it that Doodles v expelled a total of seven times fri Stanford. He once completely i set the Board of Regents and entire Student Council when assembled a little English Au on the top floor of Encino H the freshmen men's dorm-and a taxi service from one end of hall to the other. I wonder if we could interestll Weaver in attending UCB Fall? ' AMS PARTY. I understand th certain unofficial AMS group re ly had some kind of a party. It I hear, the best attended social f tion of the year, so far. What wa secret fellows? By the way, I u stand that Don Clark is plannin giving modern dancing lessons fall-and Bruce Bickborn is sched to become the next Ogden Nas unofficially of course. Maybe B gold better go back where it from. LOVELOBN COLUMN. It be my honest, innocent face does it. For the last two wee have been the 'Mr. Anthony' UCR. First it's Mr. Lewis, t it's Miss Sparkman.
