Dr. Case will introduce his subject with a definition of the term, “social problem,” and show how traffic regulation constitutes a social problem and how it is related to other types of social behavior such as walking and riding on a streetcar.
Ten years of personal research in the field will serve as background for Dr. Case’s talk. During this period he made numerous studies involving hundreds of cases.

Hancock Expeditions Reviewed in New Book
Flying a oardinal and gold Trojan banner from its mast, the Velero III embarked from ite Terminal is- | sel that Captain Hancock has used is pictured for the reader in two land pier at dawn today and headed into south Pacific waters for a one-month’s oruise of scientific exploration.
On board the floating laboratory, acting as commander of the expedition, was Capt. Allan Hancock, who gave the cruiser to SC a year ago for carrying on such expeditions.
On board, also, were 10 SC scientists and collectors who had been invited to participate in the expedition. President von KleinSmid bade I tures taken by the official photo-
in voyages out of Los Angeles harbor. Captain Hancock is a licensed sea pilot, entitled to navigate ships of any tonnage in all waters. He also is an experienced aviator.
The inside story of these adventurous travels are graphically caught in a new privately printed book. “Voyages of the Velero III,” written for Captain Hancock by DeWitt Meredith, Los Angeles newspaper man.

Captain Hancock and his crew goodbye at the dock yesterday afternoon.
This adventurous cruise of scientific exploration is not a new thing for the modern Velexr' III. She has been used by Captain Hancock many times before on expeditions to isolated portions of the coast of Mexico, to the Galapagos
graphers of the various expeditions, the book presents the story of the adventures in a style designed to appeal to the layman. It is in no way a scientific treatise.
The book tells its story of science •».nd adventure, in interesting and un. -ual photographs, which add much' Mue to the volume and add
short chapters of the book. The tragic story, which caught the interest of the entire world several years ago, tells of the effort to build a Garden of Eden on the deserted South sea island.
The first escapist settlers on the island were Dr. Karl Ritter and his wife. The book tells how, after he died of poison, his wife was taken off the isle by the Velero III, and later returned to Germany.
The book describes the rise and fall of the self-styled “Empress of the Galapagos,” a Parisian who came to the island to set up “paradise.”
The scientific specimens from the voyages are to be displayed in the new Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research, which is rapidly nearing completion on the SC campus.

New Wampus Appears Today
Final Examination Tonic Is Presented
With a guarantee that insures a certain cure for final examination blues, a gasp at the proposals of the SC senate to revise the constitution, and a laugh at the activities of the “Bombay Bicycle Boys,” the Southern California Wampus will appear on the campus today. Sorority girls will be saleswomen.
Editor Goodman advises purchasers to seek out their favorite sorority sales girls so they can help them accumulate points in the Wampus selling contest for the current season ending in June.
At that time the magazine will present a cup to the sorority girl who has sold the largest number of copies.
“To abet sales further,” says Goodman, “this month's Wampus will feature a satire on pre-exam-ination schedules. This revelation of the system that helps to make us unhappy should prove a philosophical aid for the forthcoming weeks.”
The editor reveals that the pictures in the magazine for January will be of interest to “night-owls” as will the information on Night Spots by John Lindsay. He advises, for the complete humorist, cartoons by Jimmy Talcott on the senate and by Sam Rocca on college life.
KEELER CITES TOLERANCE AS LABOR PEACE KEY
“The key to employer-employee relations may be summed up in one word, tolerance’.’*

KleinSmid hall yesterday.
“There are some men who say that they have never had labor problems,” said Dr. Keeler. “What they mean is that they have never had any labor problems that could not be solved by a tolerant point of | view towards the other person’s side of the question.”
STATES PROBLEMS Dr. Keeler stated that 1*>e problems facing management are entirely different today than they were in the past. The most important problem facing management is the human element, and not the material element, he said.
"Industry today has more than an interest in material things; its interest is in the social structure within the plant itself.”
Tracing the needs of labor and management, Dr. Keeler said that formerly labor wanted liberty and higher wages He added that now their wants have changed to improved working conditions and shorter hours. Management wants not only profits, but also a greater degree of freedom in employing and firing men.
GUESTS ATTEND “The management is a cordinat-ing group, and its main function is to perform this duty, said Dr. Keeler. ‘‘Today, it must consider its job in a much broader espect than ever before.”
Guests at the luncheon were F. W. Woodbridge. head of the accounting department; Dr. Clayton
D. Carus, professor of foreign trade; Dean Rockwell Hunt of the Graduate school; and Dr. J professor in economics.
