The hub of student activity centers, undoubtedly, in t he Student Union, hlere on the first floor is the far-famed eatery, where unexcelled cuisine and bracing beverages make it a mecca for all gourmands. Too, on this floor is the book store, where one may inexpensively purchase books and supplies, saving as much as three per cent on erasers. Offices of student body president and aides comprise the second floor, and on the third one finds the lounge, where soft cushions and tinkling pianos beckon invitingly to lovers and Phi Beta Kappa ' s alike. JOURNALISM News hawks, typewriter pounders, and scoop-seekers are harbored on the fourth floor of the Student Union, headquarters of the School of Journalism. Recognized as one of the national leaders in this type of professional training, the school couples study in theory with practical journalistic experience. Members of the student body write and edit the Daily Trojan, honored again this year with All-American standing among college newspapers by the National Collegiate Press Association. Upper division students are given an opportunity to publish an actual newspaper through the program of field trips which climax the Spring semester. Roy L.
