Phi Beta Kappa alumni in southern California are sponsoring their 18th annual prize essay contest.
The contest is open to all students of any standard college, university. or junior college in south- monls will cover a three-day period, ern California, who are in resi- during which many well-known au-dence at the time, and who are thorities will be featured speakers, members of the sophomore, junior, I or senior class. Students, who fin- 1 ish their freshman year this semester, will be eligible to enter.
Competition will close March 15.
Prepared to invade the marine wonderland of the Gulf of California and the ancient stronghold of primitive Seri Indians on Ti-buron island, scientists from SC will sail from Los Angeles harbor today aboard the yacht Velero III.
This will be the second major voyage of the floating scientific laboratory under the Trojan house-flag. The ship made a three-month cruise last spring in the tropical Pacific and Caribbean waters. Velero III was given to the university a year ago by Capt. Allan Hancock. its builder and president of the board of trustees of SC.
Captain Hancock will again head the expedition as commander of the vessel and director of the expedition. Ten scientists and collectors have been invited to participate in the cruise in addition to the usual officers and members of the crew.
The ciuise will take one month. The exploration will include the length and breadrh of the Gulf of Lower California from Cape San Lucas to the Consag rocks. The only ports of call will be La Paz, near the tip of Lower California, j and Guaymas in the state of Her-mosillo.
The Trojan expedition will set up three major bases of operation with characteristic form in varied areas.; These will include the tropical waters near the mouth of the gulf, the transitional area in the midsection of tropical and temperate zones, and the head of the gulf where specimens are affected by fresh water. They will be using, for the first time, a new deep-sea dredge which will work at a depth

To study seasonal changes and forms, the expedition will do intensive research with winter algae life, for comparison with forms found during the summers <yf 1936 and 1937.
For the first time analysis will be made of the oxygen content of the sea water in the gulf as well as the usual tests for salinity, chlorinity, and temperatures, with Granville Ashcraft, SC ornithologist, in charge of this work.
This will also mark the first time that three-dimensional color pho-
tographs on 35 mm. film will be taken to preserve fast-fading animal colorings. John Tyler will be the cameraman.
Persons making the expedition, in addition to Captain and Mrs. Hancock. include John S. Garth, Fred L. Zeisenhenne, and Alec Hill, zoologists; Granville P. Ashcraft, ornithologist; Anker Peterson, scientific artist; John Tyler, photographer; Yale Dawson, botanist; Charles Wade, ichtyologist; Loren Powell, collector; Gust Augustson. parasital-ogist; and Raol Hermosillo, who will be official observer for the Mexican government.

Campus Extremists To Be Reviewed
Who are the "Bombay Bicycle Boys”?
In the January edition of the Wampus to be issued tomorrow. Edi- ! tor Lee Goodman unveils this group as the “campus radicals,” reviewing and previewing their policies and activities.
The Wampus staff promises “a wealth of material for soap box oratory by the ‘Bombay Bicycle Boys’ in the featured article in this latest issue of the Wampus on the ASSC senate and its plans for a revision of the university constitution.”
Goodman remarked criptically “If you’re not a ‘Bombay Bicycle Boy/ well then, there are still the pictures and the gossip of the holiday social whirl. If you’re one of those people who sleep through classes and play at night, you might even find your picture in the latest issue of the campus magazine as one of the social butterflies of the month.”
The editor declared that “it will be a field day for the ‘Bombay Boys’ tomorrow when they discover the satirical cartoon which will be found in this month’s publication. Speakers from the five outstand-

AIRCRAFT STUDIED
In Boston Dr. Keeler spent six weeks visiting classes in aircraft production methods, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in business organization and management at the Harvard university Graduate School of Business.
Despite all this technical research, the professor delights in visiting industrial centers and commercial area*.
In commenting upon the present trend in the industrial field, he recently said:
GREATER CONFIDENCE
"In general, one finds a greater degree of confidence on the part of management and people believe that the worst is over,” he said upon being interviewed.
“A paint manufacturer in Kansas City,” he declares, “expressed the opinion that if his firm could go through a banking crisis, a period of declining sales and reduced earnings as had occurred during the years 1929 to 1936 and still be able to revive somewhat in the past year or two. there was no reason to fear any situation which might now threaten."

South America Would Ignore European War, Says Cormack
Lads Launch All-U Leg-Show Practice
“Well shave their legs if neces-
!sary!”
This wsvs the statement made yesterday by Harry Eddy, production manager for the all-U Show in April, when he wished to stress that the men’s dance routine for the show will be as close an imitation to the “real thing" as can possibly be accomp’ished.
“The rou ines in this year’s production will be clever, systematic, imitations of a girl’s chorus, and not a burlesque, slapstick, ‘hairy leg show,” Eddy concluded.
Eddy also stressed that this year's show is an entirely new and dif-| ferent production and not “just another varsity show.”
An innovation will be made when girls will be cast in principal parts.
Those already on the production staff are: Steve Zurich, student director; William C. Miller, supervising director: and Pete Conn who.
with the music organization, will have charge of music for the production.
Marie Kay, professional dancing director, will supervise the dancing routines, and Charles Burnet, who was with Black Friar.” an organization for the yearly production of the all-U show at the University of Chicago, will help with the extravaganza.
Positions are still open in publicity, make-up. design, and prepar-
ation of costumes, advertising, properties, stage design, stage crew, lighting department, and business
management.
“Scripts must be submitted in synopsis form by February 1. or they will not be considered,” Eddy said.
The highlights of the show will be previewed at three different night spots in Hollywood, and the best songs of the production will be published, Eddy said.
There wili be a meeting Wednesday, 3:30 pjn. at Touchstone theater, Old College. All who are interested in participating in the show should attend, Eddy announced. |
