Leaving Los Angeles yesterday Dr. Justin Miller, newly appointed Dean of the College of Law of the University of Southern California, will go to New York where he will meet with Professor Raymond Moley of Columbia University and Professor Frederick Kuhlman of the University of Sir Hugh MiSSOuri, to complete a report on the survey of crime and criminal justice throughout the United States. These three men, with Dean Miller as chairman, form a Committee on the Survey of Research in Crime and Criminal Justice of the National Social Science Research Council. Dean Miller is also a member of the Advisory Committee on Crime of the council.
Planned to contain accurate, detailed information on all research work on crime and its related subjects, which have been completed but not reported, projects under way, and projects planned, the report will be used by legislatures, crime commissions, public officers, relief agencies, teachers, and others in further working out a solution. The information will be put into bibliography form and distributed throughout the entire United States. f-The Social Science Research Council, the American Bar Association, and the American Law School Association have joined to determine what amount of research work has been done in the United States toward the solution of crime. It is their opinion that the findings of Dr. Miller and his colleagues will fill the need for sources of material for the studies of crime such as causes, costs, effects, methods of detection, apprehension, prevention, treatment, in all phases of crime including juvenile delinqquency, penology, court administration, and psy-chistry.
After the committee, headed 'by Dean Miller, works together for about two weeks, the report will be submitted to the Social Science Research Council at Hanover, New Hampshire, during the week of August 22.
A definite campaign on crime is being planned by the three legal organizations and the report of Dean Miller and his assistants is considered an important preliminary step before actually entering the field of crime. The locating and recording of all research work on crime and related subjects, the availability of the material, and all facts concerning the material, is thought to be valuable in the carrying out of the anti-crime campaign by these organizations.
After attending the meeting of the Social Science Research Council at Hanover, Dean Miller will go to Cas-tine, Maine, where he will meet with William E. Mikell, Dean of the College of Law, University of Pennsylvania, and Professor Edwin R. Keedy of the same institution. These two men are preparing a Code on Criminal Procedure for the American Law Institute.

During a week in June it .was our pleasure to visit the campus of Ohio State, along with Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio University. Each of these three universities present a far different campus than the one here at S. C., and it was with interest that we visited them.
The campus of Ohio Wesleyan, located in Delaware, Ohio, is as beautiful as it is quaint. Back about one hundred years ago the school was established for women by the Methodist Church, but has during recent years been made coeducational. The tow’n divides the campus into what is logically the new and old. On the old campus stands the women’s dormitory which was built before the Civel War, and it holds many traditions. Young women are now staying in the same rooms that their great aunts and grandmothers lived in while they were attending the Bishop’s school. On the new campus, Sulphur Spring and the fine Observatory are interesting places to visit.

Upon a hasty visit to the campus of Ohio State, the casual observer would get the impression of middle age buildings. That is, they are patterned after the structures along the Rhine in Germany. The buildings on the campus of the Big Ten school are of brick or stone and blend into .an atmosphere which is both pleasing and distinctive. The campus is unusual, since it covers a large area and is in the heart of a city which claims a quarter of a million population. Ohio State is a well known institution educationally and can offer much to the

LECTURER WRITES ABOUT CRIME WAVE
Helen Pigeon, Who Just Finished Lecture Course on Policewomen, Discusses Crime.
By HELEN D. PIGEON
Everybody in America who is not writing about the crime wave is reading about it. And in Europe they are watching us with some scorn and a little amusement because we are not making beter use of the resources which lie close at hand. The Police Department, for instance, has never fulfilled its destiny. Although it is charged with the prevention of crime and posses broader powers than any other government agency, its efforts In this direction have met with suspicion and antagonism from the public, instead of support and understanding. Consequently, it has been necessary for private social agencies (Continued On Page Four)
or unusual number is given, surrounded by a program of good standard classics and lighter numbers. Thursday is “Symphony Night,” when one of the great symphonies is featured. Friday night is “Solo Night,” when the program is varied by solos by celebrated vocalists or instrumental-iets. “Popular Night,” on Saturday, offers a program of light, melodious numbers - strictly high class in calibre, but of a sparkling, tuneful nature.
While the July audie-nces, which numbered as high as 18,000 on some nights, welcomed five world-famous conductors and four well-known soloists, music lovers will, in the month of August, greet the same number of equally famous conductors and one more soloist, there being five during the closing month of the concert season.
WORLD - FAMOUS CONDUCTORS AND SOLOISTS
Modest Altschuler, founder and for twenty years conductor of the Russian Symphony orchestra of New York is now a resident of Los Angeles. He will open the August concerts with a delightful and novel “Russian ^igbt” on Tuesday, August 2.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, well known conductor of the Detroit Symphony orchestra, will weild the baton over the enlarged Bowl orchestra two nights -- August 4 and 5. As conductor and piano virtuoso, the name of Gabrilowitsch stands among the most significant in contemporary music. Mr. Gabrilowitsch is of Russian birth, but is an American by adoption. His wife, who will q^company him to Hollywood, is Clara* Clepaens, daughter of the late Mark Twain, the famous American humorist. Gabrilowitsch’s two appearances are the generous gift of Mr. and Mrs Edward L. Doheny to Hollywood Bowl music lovers.
Lovely Carmela Ponselle, sister of the illustrious Rosa, but an artist who stands supreme in her own right, is a mezzo-soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company, who will make her western debut at the Hollywood Bowl on August 5.
A “Night in Vienna” is the artistic gift of Adolf Tandler to those who delight in the unusual in music, on August 6. Tandler, a native of Vienna, has chosen Los Ajngeles as his residence, and is well-known here for founding and directing “The Little
Symphony.”
Goossens, volatile young composer-conductor, stepped onto the stage of the Hollywood Bowl last summer practically unknown in tbe west. From the first stroke of his baton, however, his genius was recognised, and at the close of his first program he was given an ovation seldom before equaled in the Bowl. Goossens is coming directly from London, where he is conducting, and will direct the Bowl orchestra of 100 pieces during the two middle weeks of August.
The Los Angeles Oratorio society of 500 voices, which was acclaimed with such enthuseiaem when they appeared on the “Italian Night” in Hollywood Bowl last month, will sing again on the first night that Goossens takes up the baton, August 9.
Vera Barstow, resident violinist chosen by the Bowl Audition Board, will be the soloist on August 12.
