structure on campus. Today, with the Allan Hancock foundation in the final stages of construction, this two-story frame building represents just one of the 24 schools and colleges on Troy’s 45-acre campus.
If the age of the old prompts veneration, the beauty of the new inspires admiration.
One of the most beautiful college buildings in America, Mudd hall, completed in 1929. was awarded the certificate of honor by Southern California chapter of the American Institute of Architectures. The building is entirely devoted to study and activities in philosophy.
Afer 15 years of planning, the million-dollar Doheny Memorial library was formally dedicated and opened September 12. 1932. Majestic in its beauty, this library has a capacity for 500.000 books.
NEW UNITS ADDED
Within the last year, two new physical units of education have been added to the campus: namely, the College of Engineering building and the Harris hall building for the College of Architecture and Fine Arts, (including the Fisher Art galleries).
classrooms for miscellaneous language classes, geography, geology, political science, and history. The Science buildings houses the colleges schools, and departments of pharmacy, medicine, physics, botany, chemistry, and the various ramifications of scientific study. The Physical education building provides men's and women’s activity areas, offices, classrooms, handball courts, gymnasiums, a swimming pool, and the regular locker and shower rooms.
STUDENT UNION BUILT
During 1928 the Student Union was dedicated. Designed for activities of the student body, this edifice also houses the offices of the School of Journalism.

Troy s History Traced from 80 Beginning
From the early horse-car days back in 1880 to the modern commercial and professional era of today. SC has grown with Los Angeles. During its 57 years the university has contributed 30.000 alumni to the business, educational, and professional fields of the community.
A truly metropolitan university with the Los Angeles harbor serving as a laboratory for students of commerce and forign trade, the City hall w'here classes of its school of government are held, the County hospital for training in the school of medicine, and Hollywrood studios with affiliations for cinematography students. Troy's 24 schools and colleges are particularly adapted for training in modem trends. PRESIDENT HONORED President Rufus B. von KleinSmid is known for outstanding j leadership in the fields of educa-i tion and particularly for his contributions to international relations. Twelve foreign governments have conferred honorary aw’ards in recognition of Dr. von KleinSmid's efforts toward friendly understanding among nations. He is chancellor of the Los Angeles University of International Relations, affiliated with SC and one of few institutions in the country for intensive training diplomatic service. It sponsors the Institute of World Affairs, an annual six-day conclave when educaors and leaders in world problems gather to discuss current affairs.
Recognizing the need for scientific training in gqvernment administration, the SC school of government offers instruction to students both or the campus and to employers av its City hall headquarters. Last year's Institute of Government conducted by the SC department was attended by 2500 federal state, and local officials and employees
INDUSTRIALISTS ASSIST
With leading film directors and technicians supplementing Trojan faculty, the department of cinematography offers instruction in many phases of the industry. From color to sound, script writing, technical phases, production, and directing. the student is kept informed on current developments of one of the nation’s leading industries.

Afternoon SC Welcomes Seniors Exhibits jQ Advisement Day
Reviewed
Twenty-Four Schools Contribute to Program In Gymnasium Today
By BILL NIETFELD
The whir of a generator ... the clicking of a teletype machine ... the steady hum oC a motion picture camera ...
These will be pa*t of the multiple sounds coming from the SC gymnasium today as visitors on the Trojan campus visit the exhibits of Advisement day.
With 24 schools and departments represented in. the huge panorama of displays, even the old-guard of SC, the students who have seen ancf* heard almost everything on campus, will be slightly amazed at' the wronders of science and imkistry which confront them. It wrill be with some surprise that they will see the actual results of a baseball game rapidly being printed on a teletype exhibit by the School of Journalism. They will be even more chagrined when they sit down at a Western Union sending-receiving wire machine and w'atch the fruits of their typing labor appear on a machine set across the room from them.
MACHINE RECORDS VOICE
Many will be the startled looks and the gasps of "Oh!” as students hear the sound of their own voice as it is played back to them on a recording machine set up by the radio-television department. Dictaphones will receive no small amount of attention when students discover j that' “just by pressing a button,” j they can also hear their voices and the voices of friends.
From the practical standpoint, many will be surprised to see the beautiful oil and water paintings displayed by the College of Architecture. To add realism to the scene, life-models will pose through- j out the afternoon and evening for art students working on a canvas.

.. . stresses importance oj day
The modem world recognizes trained leadership balanced with a sense and an appreciation of the high values that distinguishes man from the other forms of animal life. The purpose of Advisement day is to help high school and junior college students to make one of the most crucial decisions in their lives. The facilities of the university are organized to aid and counsel each student in order that he might make that decision for which in later years he will have no regret.
We welcome you to the campus this day and trust that, regardless of what institution you eventually attend, your life will be richer because of this experience. We welcome you as Trojans for the day.
Faithfully yours,
R. B. VON KLEINSMID.
President.
NEW JOB DEMAND SEEN FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
University graduates have reason to be happier in June. . . Their chances of finding a job are better, especially those J^1 ..™,	I who have had professional training. Too, the attitude of
business toward the college man has changed.
These were the opinions expressed recently by President
Rufus B. von KleinSmid in sum-
the affair with several figures on display.
FEATURES LISTED
It will take a steady hand and a sharp eye in the psychology department exhibit as students diligently match tw'O sticks in a depth pre-ception test of try at the eye-hand coordination appartus. Time reaction machines will be popular as students attempt to find the time in w'hich it took them to speed reactions.
On the material side of the exhibits will go plant and animal displays of the botany and zoology departments. The floral prizes of California, the feathered friends of thc coast region, and the animals, both wild and tame, will be exhibited in ail their greatness.
Students athletically inclined will find a source of interest in the men's and women’s physical education display. Gym equipment ranging from boxing gloves to track shoes are exhibited. Topping off rhe display is a water-tight canvas boat suitable for ocean or lake canoeing.
L. A. Teachers Join Staff
Joining the staff of approximately 850 faculty members at SC this week were three outstanding teachers trom the Los Angeles city school system and one from the county for the summer session wiiich opens its first term June 17.
Miss Helen Estill, librarian of John Muir junior high school, will conduct a course in “Library Service in the Modern School.” Miss Louise Roewekamp. lecturer in li-trar: science and librarian of Manus « Arts high school will present •Organization and Administration of School Libraries.”
William C. Hartshorn of the Los Angeles city schools will assist teaching “Music Education in the Secondary School.” Dr. Tillingham, assistant superintendent of schools and director of secondary education of Los Angeles county, has been named to the staff which will teach courses in secondary education.
Dr. Baldwin Will Demonstrate Biology Work
The changing of sex in fish from male to female and vice versa can be accomplished by a comparatively simple scientic process with a few weeks.
Such is the announcement by Dr Francis M. Baldwin, professor of zoology at SC, w'ho will participate in the exhibitions today. He has just published for the first time the results of his research in the proceedings of the Society For Ex-i perimenta Biology and Medicine.
“In upsetting nature's balance we chose the fish because of its low order genealogically. Its characteristics are not as fixed as in mammals or in higher forms of life”, said Dr. Baldwin.
To the scientist his paper “Effects of Testosterone Propionate on the Female Viviparous Teleost”, done with the assistance of Howard S. Goldin, graduate assistant, means just that. To the layman it refers to changing the sex of fish by means of a hyperdemic injection of synthetic fluid called testosterone propionate.
New Pneumonia Cure Exhibited
How pneumonia was conquered by scientists only in the last three years will be graphically depicted in the bacteriology department at the Advisement day program today.
“The Conquest and Control of Pheumonia Up to the Present Day”, is the title of this scientific display, which has been arranged by the department under Dr. Carl C. Lindergren. head.
Added t& the graphs will be pictures and charts with microscopic slides under each exhibit to illustrate the point of the pictures.
ming up prospects for Trojan members of the class of 1940.
“In a number of fields the university cannot supply the demand for trained students, in spite of the increased number of those studying the professions.” he said. STUDENTS ARE “CHOOSEY”
“This is particularly true in the fields of architecture, engineering, accounting, and pharmacy. Not only does this indicate better times, but it shows a change in attitude of business in recent years toward the college man.”
Qualified students are being “choosey” toward the positions offered. according to Muivey A. White, director of the SC employment bureau. “They do not accept1 the first positions open. Rather, they want to know the background of the firms seeking workers, information as to personnel, prestige, and future promise,” said White.
DAYS RIVAL 1929
“Not since the boom days of 1929 have we had as many requests for applicants. We cannot supply ail the calls from our department. Although the trend has been spos-matic in past years, it shows a definite upturn now.
‘Likewise, we are receiving many requests from eastern organizations. Their ‘scouts’ are scanning this
field stating that qualified graduates are trained as well in the west as those in eastern universities. The westerner has a different point of view and lends a well-rounded personnel to a national organization.” said the SC director.
