Would they be a beneficial influence? Are they necessary? These questions were asked sorority and fraternity members by a Trojan reporter yesterday in an effort to survey the opinions of campus social organization representatives.

Deedie Maurer, junior—I think the little boys need their mothers. Bob Pitt, junior—No. There are not enough fellows who live in houses to warrant housemothers. Frank Scott, junior—It isn’t a Newsreel Offers Campus Groups Film Careers' Do you want to be in pictures, huh? The. Trojan Review, campus newsreel, is offering any campus organization—fraternity or sorority— an opportunity to appear in the monthly issues of the SC film by simply applying for a place on the newsreel shooting schedule. “Any group that thinks a social event on their calendar would be of general campus interest may have it included in the Trojan Review to be released soon,” says Don Duke, producer. Every organization is requested to submit a complete list of their events planned for the semester. These schedules must contain accurate material relating the event, date, place, and occasion for the celebration. Since the newsreel will be issued a few extra times this spring, this new feature will have a favored spot on the program. Production schedules should be turned into Arnold Eddy’s office in the Student Union, or the Cinematography office located in the Cinematography and Music building. The following department heads of the Trojan Review are asked to be present this afternoon in the Cinematography exposition hall: Herb Farmer, Jerry Clifi. Mike Bell, George Kawamoto.

Leaders in the field of business education in the Los Angeles school system will be present at the meeting. Students at SC this semester who are interested in becoming members of the honorary professional fraternity are urged by fratemity heads to contact Dr. Blackstone or H.

Thousands of persons have aided in the drive, including stars of film, stage, and radio, who have participated in benefit performances. The national headquarters at San Francisco contacted university authorities, who chose Blue Key as the organization to carry out the campus drive.
