This action follows a long period of investigation of parking conditions at Southern California which led to the decision to permanently clear the front of the Administration building. The decision ls based on several factors.

Law Groups Will Dismiss
Legal Classes Bereft O f Constituents As Lawyers Depart.
Weather and the trial calendar permitting, the S. C. school of law will hold its annual "ditch" day at Hermosa Beach today. Law students will congregate in front of the Surf and Sand club from 10 o’clock on, according to the legal transcript.
Officially, the affair is known as “the senior ditch day,” but the facts seem to be as follows: The departure of the seniors from the sacred precincts of the law school leaves the junior classes so depleted in numbers that lt is considered unadvlsable for the remaining students ln junior classes to attend classes, and hence junior classes do not meet. In turn, there are so many juniors in freshman classes that the de pleted attendance results in freshman classes being dismissed.
At any rate, such was the result of the various class meetings held yesterday morning. The frosh met at chapel hour under the leadership of Marty Malone and unanimously voted to refrain from attending classes today. Not to be outdone, the Junior class quitted the class room, aud proceeded to enact a resolution whereby Juniors would not be conspicuous by the presence on the following day. Not a dissenting vote was cast.
Hence the verdict, today is "law day” at the beach for law students.
