To train Southern California students thoroughly in all phases of motion picture production, Dr. Boris Morkovin is planning to organize a Cinema club here in the fall. The club will be made up of two classes of members: those who are planning to enter motion picture work and those who are merely interested in iilms.
Believing that practical study* can only be gained by actually working In the medium in which students are studying, Dr. Morkovin has arranged for the club members to make motion pictures.
OIL PICTURE -The flrst picture to be made by the new Cinema club will be a story of the Oklahoma oil Aelds.
The preliminary title of the film Is “The Black Gold.” Students will start their project study by making a silent picture first so that they may leam the funda mentals of motion picture technique unhampered by the difficulties of sound production. Later talkies will be produced by the club.
Work on the oil film was launched by Dr. Morkovin’s summer classes in Socio-psychological As pects of Motion Pictures. Students have prepared the scenario with the exception of a few detailed scenes which will be worked out by club members in the fall. Test shots for the film were taken yesterday by Summer Session Btudents in a Los Angeles oil field.
The work of the club and classes is being sponsored by W. Ramsay, Oklahoma oil king.
TO TRAIN STUDENTS The main work of the Cinema club will be to train students to take the fellowships being offered by the studios. Fox and Universal are already placing college graduates and more studios are expected to follow this plan.
Dr. Morkovin plans to give members of his Cinema club as well as his students a thorough training in film work. Not only will they study every phase of production, including the physics of light and sound, preparation of the story and scanario; aud the use of the camera, in the schoolrooms, but they will also hear talks by motion picture experts who are engaged in making films.
Students who are interested ln the Cinema club are urged to get in touch with Dr. Morkovin in his office on the third floor of Bridge hall.

The cost of the season ticket, which ls being sold at no advance in price over that of last year, ls $19, and will entitle the purchaser to a reserved seat in tunnels flve, six or seven for all eight of the Trojan home games with the exception of the Stanford contest on Nov. 7. Because of the large demand for tickets from Stanford students and alumni who are given visitors’ preference in the matter of seats, public season ticket holders will be given reserved seats in approximately the same location in tunnels three, four and ten as they hold in flve, six and seven.
DISTRIBUTION PLAN Public season tickets will be distributed according to the date of the receipt of the application and on the following priority classifications: (1) persons who have purchased tickets for the past three consecutive years, 1928 1929 and 1930; (2) persons who have purchased tickets for the past two years only, and (3) new applicants. Subscribers in each group will be allowed to purchase a limit of four tickets.
According to Eddy, the price of the season ticket is the same as the combined cost of reserved seats to all eight of the Trojan home games. The scale of prices for 'single reserved tickets is $2 each for the St. Mary’a, Oregon State, Washington State and Oregon games; $3.50 for the Stanford game; $1.50 for the Montana game, and $3 each for the Washington and University of Georgia contests, or a total of $19.

FIRST DANCE OF NEW TERM TO BE NEXT WEDNESDAY
Wilting Warmups Will be Continued in Social Hall of Student Union.
Presidents Wife, Dean Smith In South Seas
Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid and Dean Pearle Aikin-Smith are now enjoying the beautiful scenery of the South Sea islands, according to word received from them.
While at Papeete they were the guests of Mrs. Gouverneur Morris, wife of the celebrated author.
Also on the Makura during the trip to the South Seas was Captain Jensen, university college instructor, who is going to Tahaiti to bring back the yacht of the late F. W. Murnau. film director.
Mrs. von KleinSmid and Mrs. Smith will return to Los Angeles about the flrst of September after a tour of the South Seas.
Music will again pour forth from the Social hall in the Student Union next Wednesday, August 5, when the flrst Wilting Wednesday dance of the second semester begins. Hours for the dance, known as “Social Hours” officially, will be from 3:30 to 5. At this time of day, everything is cool and well-adapted to dancing, believes the committee, headed by Van Tanner, former president of the Graduate students.
Admission, as before, will be 10 cents. This minimum fee VM sufficient last semester to make the afTairs financially stable, but may make it more difficult with the smaller enrollment of this session, to balance the books. With a reasonable attendance, all should be well regardless, is the opinion of Mac Morgenthau, business manager of the Summer Trojan and financial supervisor ot the dances. Morganthau is working on plans for a “Paul Jones” dance, old-time favorite that proved so successful at the last fete.
, Bill Baxter and Joe Micclche, of the S. C. news service, will be guests at the dance.
Informality, of course, will be the rule. It will be permissible, even advisable, for men to attend in shirt-sleeves. Cutting-in, as always at S. C. informal dances, will be in good form.
The Social hall is located on the third floor of the Union.
DR. MARTIN GIVES ADDRESS ON CHINA
Giving a clear and forceful exposition of what has long been consdiered tne of the knottier oriental puzzles, Dr. Charles E. Martin, visiting professor of political science, spoke at the second as sembly of the second session on “The Chinese Revolution."
Dr. Martin's address waa oased upon a personal study of conditions in China after the revolution. He was sent to China as a Carnegie endowment professor and interviewed the leaders of the new movement all over the country.
After paying tribute to Sun Yat Sen, the great leader of the Chinese Revolution, Dr. Martin proceeded to show how' the flght for freedom has been built on the three principles laid down by this famous oriental political scientist. The three principles of Suu Yat Sen, as explained by Professor Martin, cover three wide fields; nationalism, democracy, and sociology.
| National unity and feeling, Dr.
[ Mai tin declared, is the great need of China to offset the disintegrating force of the prevalent famil-ism.
Dr. Martin frankly stated that the prevailing fear of some of the leaders of the new' republic is that the Chinese people are incapable of self government. The masses are still too ignorant to appreciate their new freedom and as a consequence China is torn with different factions warring against each other. The government of today, Porfessor Martin
I analysed, is neither military nor ! constitutional, -but midway be-JI tween.
