By
FLORENCE GALLENTINE
“Highlights in Legislation,”! passed in the 1927 session of thej California State legislature, was the subject of an address given by , Senator Frank C. Weller at the Law School assembly yesterday! morning.
Senator Weller represents Los Angeles in the California State Senate and is a graduate of S. C. Law School. j having received his L.L.B. in 1914 and his Master of Laws in 1915. He informed the student assembly of the important legislation passed by the senate and gave a resume of the most outstanding measures.
IMPORTANT MEASURES Among the bills which Senator Weller considered of most importance to citizens generally, and to law students especially, were those measures adopting suggestions offered by the state commissions. The purpose, of these bills, according to Mr. Weller, is to “speed up” the procedure of cases and to facilitate better justice, thus reflecting a desire on the part of the people to teesen the extent of crimes in the j state.

Declare Open Season On Students In Endowment Drive
(Members of the endowment drive organization were authorized by Paul Elmquist, general chairman, to solicit subscriptions from all those who have not yet subscribed to the library fund, at the luncheon yesterday noon in the Student Union.
“Open Season” was declared in order to speed up the campaign. Elmquist announced at the luncheon that the drive would be extended to include today, and that, if necessary, a clean-up drive would be conducted on a limited scale next week. “Only a fraction of the students have been approached as yet” said Elmquist, “and nearly two-thirds of the $150,000 goal has been attained.”

SCHEDULES ARE READY FOR COMING SEMESTER
Schedules for classes of the sec ond semester will be issued today at the Registrar’s office, according to a statement from Theron Clark, Reg istrar. This early distribution is intended to facilitate the intelligent or ganization of programs by the stu dents and to eliminate as much as possible the last-minute rush and numerous changes on the programs after they are recorded in the office.
an issuing these schedules Mr. Clark recommends that students procure copies of them today and follow the suggestions given herewith regarding some changes which have been mads.
CHANGES MADE The sequences of information listed for each class has been rearranged on the schedules. The order now is: the hour,- day, course number, section letter, Utle of the course, units for the course, and number of room where the course is to be *iven. A printed explanation of this is given on the first page of the schedule so that no confusion should result.
The secUon is indicated by a capital letter immediately after the course number. This is the same order as that which is used iu making out the program cards.
The number of units given for each course iB indicated in parentheses immediately after the title of the course. This is a new item on the schedules and will eliminate much
units are shown for quiz sections an6 none for laboratory work unless the work constitutes the whole of the work in jthe course.
Suggestions are made by Mr. Clark to both students and faculty advisors concerning the making out of programs:
That students study the schedule carefully before making out their programs so that no last-minute changes will be necessary; that they use the printed form at the end of the schedule and make out their provisional programs in advance for approval by the advisor on the special registration days.
The advisors should now have time to study the changes and know the details of the arrangement before students come to them for approval of programs.
That credit summaries will be obtainable at Hoose 307, instead of the Registrar’s office is another item to which attention is specially called. This will tend to keep the crow’d away from the force in the Registrar’s office which will be working largely on credit summaries for new students. Registration wiil begin at Arcade window No. 3.
It is hoped that these suggestions and changes in procedure mav reduce the pressure of the special days allotted to registration, eliminate some waste of time, make for an intelligent planning of courses, and be

FRENCH COMEDY IS SELECTED AS CLASS PRODUCTION
Junior Play Will Be “A Doctor in Spite of Himself,” By Moli-ere.
After much consideration, and more research work than is ordinarily expended, the selection of the Junior play was made early this week, according to Miss Lucille Taylor. The choice was determined by Ray MacDonald, Director of University Dramatic Productions, with the assistance of George Lawrence and Miss Taylor Many comedies of all types were read and rejected before a French play by Moliere was finally agreed upon. This short farce is called “A Doctor in Spite of Himself,” and though it has been shown with much success on the legitimate stage, it has never been produced by an amateur company. It has been rumored that tryouts for the various parts will begin early next week.
The lines of the play, Miss Taylor also stated, are exceedingly clever and are expected to keep the audience in a constant state of hilarity, regardless of who the characters will be. The play also is highly recommended by the members of the faculty of both French and English departments, and is considered to be, Schulman, Winifred I not only one of the author’s best, but Bohr, Ray Zeman. a]So one of the two best French plays Ruth Conklin, Sam Kline, Grace ever WTitten.

LAW AND GRADUATE
Despite the comparatively small amount turned in by the teams from the graduate and law schools this should not be interpreted that these two schools are deficient in their spirit, according to Paul Elmquist, chairman of the campaign. Both are handicapped in the first place with a small enrollment when compared with Liberal Arts and in the second place many of the students attending both schools are graduates of other institutions, who will spend only one or two years on this campus. When these conditions are taken into consideration it will be seen that any amount subscribed from these two colleges is just as representative as the larger amounts from Liberal Arts.
“Criticism of these two sections is not justified, therefore, from the standpoint of the amount that is

To stimulate an active interest on the part of university students of our nation in the problems of government requests have been sent out to the universities of the west to form an inter-collegiate civic association with the purpose of creating an articulate and responsive student opinion in the problems of government throughout the nation.
It is hoped by the organizers to make certain steps of our national political machinery vivid and living actualities in the minds of the students. Stimulation of the active
insttiutions will be earnestly solicited. It may be expedient, in the selection of the individual university representatives, to stage a preliminary mock convention on each campus. The best time for these conventions will probably be the first of May. This material was given to the daily Trojan by W. B. Henley, president of the inter-collegiate civic association.
