A program consisting of a group of numbers by the Trojan women’s trio will be given anrl broadcast over the regular Southern California station. “Wo expect. that by having the trio as a part of the program, we will be able to give the public a better idea of the importance of women’s work on the campus,” stated Miss Tennant.

To The Editor
Panic, Pennsylvania, Mar. 14: (To tho Editor of the Daily Trojan)—Business experts are prattling that this country is wallowing in prosperity. If true it’s interesting. No one questions the soundness of Hollywood’s prosperity. In fact, Hollywood’s prosperity is all sound.
Efficiency of big business is given the credit for this prosperity wave. By big business is meant those corporations which do not show* a profit on their books until after the income tax is collected. Efficiency of big business is strikingly illustrated by the fact that when one of Henry Ford’s employees takes time out to scratch his back 3,769 Fords come out minus a chassis.
A huge surplus is now in the Federal Reserve banks. Financial wizards should be put to work immediately to figure out for whom this money is being reserved. The caretaker of this reserve is Andrew Mellon. Mr. Mellon is a rather reserved gentleman himself, having a reserve of his own of some odd millions.
Yours for more general admissions,

Course Has Field Work
Zoology Students Collect Many Queer Marine Specimens On Trip.
Supplementing laboratory and text work with practical experience, members of Dr. Irene Mc-Culloch’s zoology classes last Wednesday and Thursday made a field trip to Portuguese Bend, just south of Palos Verdes, where they caught and studied marine specimens.
That students are interested in this practical work is shown by the fact that two trips were necessary to accomodate all those wishing to go, without crow'ding any one day so as to make it valueless. These trips which are not compulsory are made each semester at a convenient low tide, and many students who have finished the zoology course arrange to come with those now taking it.
Besides the usual specimens such as star fish and sea urchins, many unusual animals were caught. The students find their specimens under rocks and in pools, and, when the tide comes m, limning fuiiiim cuiieciiuu diui* cult, all the finds are brought together and studied. Dr. McCul-loch and her assistants aid in scientifically classifying the specimens.
Increasing interest in this science is shown by the large attendance at Bovard auditorium last Friday night when Dr. J. Arthur Thompson, professor of natural history at Aberdeen, Scotland spoke on "The Drama of Animal Life.”
