Conn Is New Music Head
Mustang Leader Comes To Further Ideas For Colorful Band Unit
Assurance that the Trojan warhorse will have the “kick of a mustang” was given U.S.C. rooters this summer, when Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of U.S.C. announced the appointment of P. C. Conn, former leader of Southern Methodist university band.
Conn. already recognized by Los Angeles football fans for his Pasadena Rose bowl and coliseum band performances, will take the position vacated by Harold William Roberts. Roberts resigned his leadership of the band when he went into a private business concern this summer.
INNOVATIONS EXPECTED
The new leader will take over the reins of the warhorse this week, and followers of the Cardinal and Gold are expecting many innovations from the clever bandmaster.
He was chosen from a list of over 100 applicants to succeed Harold Roberts, who for 15 years lead the U.S.C. band to fame via the radio, screen and concrt route.
NOTED FOR ORIGINALITY
Conn is a graduate of Oklahoma A. and M„ and served as director of a state championship band at Cushing, Okla. Later he was bandmaster at Northwestern Teachers college in Alva, Okla.
For the past two years, he has headed the Southern Methodist “Mustang" band toward increasing renown, and in two appearances in Los Angeles was accorded much favorable comment.
“The student body welcomes you as new members cf our institution. Work hard, for the un?-versity has much to offer you in return for ycur e.'forts.
“For 57 years, the University of Southern California has achieved an envicus reputation. It was once called by the late President Emeritus George Finley Bovard, ‘a great metropolitan university, accessible to the multitudes.” “Enter into the spirit of Troy. At individuals, our “school life” is short. For four years we work and strive; then we leave. But a new group rises to take our place and carry on. and “school life” continues indefinitely as an institution with which we may identify ourselves.”

Legal Rulings on Youth Employment Are Cited By Campus Director
Requesting that project directors ; submit complete analysis of their ! work requirements before September 30, Mrs. Florence Watt, direc-: tor of the National Youth Adminis- IH ; tration on the Trojan campus, last ! night outlined the necessary pro-! eedures for NYA applicants and employers.
A project-work-for mplan has been distributed to each prospective project director, Mrs. Watt said, stressing that these forms must be completely filled before any student can be employed.
She cautioned project directors regarding legitimate employment of 1 the students and warned that such i activities as classroom instruction, j outside projects, and propaganda may not come under the jurisdiction of the national youth project.
Other work banned by the NYA is activity where a student has a position of authority over other students, or house-to-house research projects.
Attention to the NYA age limit was urgently requested by the administration director, who cited legal rulings that the applicant for this type of work must be within I the ages of 16 and 24 inclusive. Also, an applicant to the NYA must | be capable of good scholastic work, j a United States citizen (or else j must have filed his application for | citizenship papers).

New Parkway Completed
"Hot-dog row" shown in the upper picture, has been removed, and subsequent landscaping has turned this blighted spot into Hie grassy park seen in 1+ie lower pic*we.
¥ With completion during the summer of the landscaping of available land for the acre parkway opposite the Student Union, another step in the campaign for beautification of the Trojan campus was taken.
The plot, which extends to the Foyer of Town and Gown, will ultimately be extended to the Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall when the rest of the area is cleared, university engineering officials said yesterday.
Work on this clearance project was begun last Christmas under the direction of Arthur Maiben. Several buildings were removed at the time, and parking was permitted in the vacant lots. During Easter vacation. the concrete foundations of these buildings were torn out, and parking was prohibited. The last shacks were removed shortly before the end of school in June, and land-| scape work started. Maiben became : ill, and the work was taken over by Sam Gosney, a student in the • university. Gosney and a crew of five men pushed the work to completion early in the summer, put-| ting in walks, grass, and tending to the maintenance tasks. A triangular plot on Hoover boulevard and 35th place was the only other plot which was cleared and planted in grass during the year.
Future landscaping will be done after the College of Architecture building i6 built in back of Mudd Memorial hall during Che coming i year.
