Ray Sanford, Pi Kappa Alpha, is chairman of the drive.
“There are a great many opportunities for students in research in commercial lines abroad and in many institutions and organizations in this country and abroad,” says Ross Berkes, former Carnegie Foundation scholarship student, who will speak at the Beta Gamma Sigma initiation dinner tonight at 6:30 o’clock in the Chancellor hotel.'
He has chosen as his subject “Commercial Research Scholarships.”
Beta Gamma Sigma is a scholastic honorary fraternity of business schools throughout the United States and is recognized by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business.
BETA GAMMA SIGMA
Berkes, a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, was a student of the Carnegie Academy of International Law at the Hague, Holland, this summer when he left on the eve of the present war.
From 1934 to 1936 Berkes was an international correspondent for the Thompson news bureau. As an authority on European commerce he said the war will affect students of commercial research considerably.
NATION ADJUSTMENTS
“At the conclusion of the present war, attempts will be made toward a serious study of the commercial adjustments between nations, and we can anticipate quite a bit of scholastic research as a result of this war,” he said.
“Because of this situation it is well worth a student's time to seriously consider the subject of commercial research scholarships after the attainment of his A.B. degree,” Berkes concluded.
Sharing the speakers’ stand will be Dr. Reid L. McClung, dean of the College of Commerce, who will speak on "Scholarship and Leadership.”
INITIATION
The purpose of the banquet is the initiation of six new members into the honorary organization. Requirements for admittance to the fraternity are a full academic record of a 2.0 or better average for three years. Students are ndt elibi-ble until their senior year.

DANGEROUS CROSSINGS
“University avenue is one of the danger spots of the campus, and I believe that it should be eliminated in favor of a more unified campus,” Professor Webster said. He added that “the crossing between Doheny library and the administration is especially dangerous, for here a student crossing the street is not even afforded the protection Qf the law, due to the fact that he is crossing in the middle of a block in a place not marked by a safety zone.”
“University avenue also provides other hazards besides that of traffic,” Mr. Webster commented. He cited noise, and gaseous fumes as other bad health practices which were caused by the fact that the avenue runs through the center of the campus.
