Fruit pickers move with the sea sons and according to the crops; Phi Psis move with a van and according to the feuds—or so it would seem from what happened yesterday.
It was about 9:30 a.m. yesterday, when a large Ace moving van pulled up at the corner of 35th place and University avenue, and two truck drivers jumped doUn and began to unload the truck. THOROUGH CLEANING
They spoke to no one but casually began to take out furniture— two beds, two bureaus, two dressers, two tables, four chairs, springs for the beds, covers, books, paddles, shaving mugs, and all of the equipment so necessary to the average college male’s university life.
Curios crowds of students gathered. “What are you unloading that stuff here for?” one asked. “There’s no place to put it.”
“I dunno,” one truckman answered. “We’re just following orders. We were told to put it here, and here’s where we’re going to put it.”
Unhurriedly they unloaded the furniture, and after arranging it exactly as it should be in a room they left.
CARTER ABASHED
Crowds of students quickly gathered. No one could identify the furniture, but everyone was interested.
Then, along the campus with a companion, came Chuck Carter, Trojan student, hurrying to see why the crowd had gathered.
“What’s up? Is somebody hurt?” Then he broke through the edge of the crowd. “Yipes! That’s my bed!” he shouted. “And my dresser! And my bureau!”
TRUCK DRIVERS SPEAK
After a hurried inspection, Carter found that the rest of the furniture belonged to his two roommates, Syd Barton, and Kendall Jones.
Students queried, “How did it get (Continued on Page Twelve)

Bolton, Frasher Start Extensive Forensic Tour
Off on the first lap of a barnstorming debate tour that will take them to Chicago, Earl Bolton and Wallace Frasher leave Sunday night for Stanford.
The two seniors are entered in the Pacific forensic meet that draws speakers from all major colleges west of the Mississippi. Only two SC representatives are sent to this tournament since the entry list is restricted. Bolton and Frasher will participate in extempore, oratory, and debate-discussion.

Accompanied by Coach Alan Nichols, professor of speech, Bolton and Frasher will continue on the road through Middle Western states where they hold speaking engagements at numerous colleges.
Fuller to Give Forum Lecture on Epicureans
‘Pleasure Philosophy' Discussed Tuesday in Bowne Hall Talk
The Greeks had a name for the life that holds pleasure, or happiness, the supreme good and chief end in life; they called it epicureanism, after the philosopher Epicures.
Dr. B. A. G. Fuller, professor of philosophy, will comment on this belief, in his lecture “The Epicurean Limitation of Desires,” Tuesday, in Bowne hall at 4:15 p.m.
AVOID DISTURBING CONTACTS
“Epicureanism is essentially a philosophy of salvation,” Dr. Fuller explained, “motivated by an interest in defining and securing human happiness rather than by speculative curiosity regarding the nature of truth.”
He brought out that it is characteristic of its age, which was an epoch of disintegration of the old Greek theology and of authoritative traditional moral standards.
“Epicureanism proclaimed salvation by attaining and preserving peace and comfort of mind here and now in this world,” Dr. Fuller observed. “To be saved, one first of all avoided disturbing and vexatious external contacts witli the world.”
DON’T WORRY
This meant minimizing social relations, duties and responsibilities, and assuming a temperate, courageous, and cheerful attitude towards such disturbing situations as could not be avoided, he explained.
“The philosophy of Epicureanism also holds that disagreeable and worrisome ideas must be avoided as far as possible,” Dr. Fuller continued. “Among the most disturbing ideas were those of a providential government, and of immortality.”
Byram, Eberhard, Reordan Enter Race
Syd Barton, Phi Kappa Psi, and Guy Halferty, non-org, will shine as the chief political luminaries on the election horizon next week when they compete for the ASSC presidency.
Vote Machines Rejected for Elections
Last-minute action on the part of university officials yesterday cancelled the use of voting machines in the coming election. Marvin Shapiro, election commissioner, explained that the additional expense of their use precipitated this move.
Using these four machines would increase the cost of the election approximately $120, he explained
Officials were also influenced toward their decision by the fact that the machines are difficult to transport to and from their place of storage.
In place ,)f voting by machines stuc ents will use the traditional7 Australian ballots The cost of printing ballots for seven polling stations will be no greater,
Shapiro said, than it would have been for three.
Psi Chi Holds Banquet
Alumni and undergraduates of Psi Chi, honorary psychology fraternity, will gather Sunday evening at 7 p.m. in Carl’s restaurant, comer of Crenshaw and Vemon, for their annual banquet.
Dr. Joy Paul Guilford, professor of psychology, will speak on the psychological approach to personality (factor analysis).
