Studying the status of Italian women over the 12-months’ period she was in Europe, Dean Crawford found that “the government’s efforts to increase the birth rate is causing a steady acceleration in the closing of universities and businesses to women students and workers.”
“I saw the terrible refugee problem in Holland and southern France, where millions of Spanish, Czechoslovakians, Austrians, and Germans are pouring over the borders.” Dean Crawford paid a tribute to the French, who, she said, are self-sacrificing in meeting the needs of the refugees.
REFUSED ADMITTANCE
During the crisis of September, 1938. while attempting to enter into Poland, the counselor was denied a visa because of unsettled conditions.
Dean Crawford was doing research work in the Vatican library, Rome, at the time of Pope Pius IX’s death, and witnessed many of the church ceremonies at that time.

Came Book Sale Begins Today
Allowing Trojan students a saving of approximately $25, student activity books will go on sale today in the physical education building, according to an announcement made last night by Arnold Eddy, chairman of the ticket committee.
The student books, which sell for $10, will provide students with tickets of admission to home football games, basketball games, baseball games, plays, track meets, and digs. The book also entitles students to the El Rodeo, student annual. DRIVE LIMITED
The drive to sell the activity books will last only during registration week, unless the ticket committee decides to lengthen the selling period, Eddy stated. The drive is being handled by the Trojan Knights in conjunction with the university ticket department.
Three thousand eight hundred activity books were sold last year which will probably be exceeded by this year's total. Eddy predicted a
banner year because of the record of last year’s teams and the reservations already recorded for public and alumni tickets.
PRICES LISTED
Alumni cards for the football games will be on sale for $10.75, and season cards for the public for $12.75
A larger rooting section, reaching to the top of the coliseum stands is being planned by Kenneth Siei-ing, yell king, for this year. New cards for the rooting section have been obtained.
Saws, electric welders, and concrete mixers will be forced to compete with pens, books, and cokes today as students invade a modern Trojan campus—conspicuous with three new buildings in various stages of construction.
Nearest to completion is Harris Hall of Art and Architecture, home of the College of Architecture and Fine Arts. The gift of Mrs. John W. Harris, the building is considered one of the finest of its kind in the country according to leading architects. The structure is scheduled to be ready for classes on September 19.
AIR CONDITIONED HALL
The building, situated at Exposition boulevard and 37th street, houses a modern air-conditioned lecture hall seating 226 and is equipped for motion picture projection, two large class rooms and a seminar room.
Arts and crafts rooms and shops are housed in the west side of the building, the library in the east side, administrative offices and studios in the south side, and drafting rooms on the first and second floors of the north side. Ceramics and sculpturing are in a separate wing.
CONTAINS CENTRAL PATIO
A central patio with a roofed arcade, around which student life will center, is now being landscaped. A frieze done in terra cotta tones and depicting man’s cultural achievements, runs around the outside wall of the central part of the building. A reflecting pool, shaded by oak and olive trees, lies at the main entrance which is faced with mellow green marble.
Adjoining is the .Fisher Art gallery, presented to the university by Mrs. Walter Harrison Fisher. Romanesque in design, the building houses three galleries. One will contain the permanent Fisher collection. The others will show tra-(Continued on Page 5)
