Ordinance Passes; Submitted to Mayor for Final Approval
The Los Angeles city council announced its intention of closing 36th place to public use from Exposition boulevard to University avenue by the passing of an ordinance Wednesday.
The small street, entirely on the SC campus, has the College of Dentistry, a parking lot. and the law building on the south side, and a parking lot, Town and Gown, and Hancock hall on the north side. The university owns all property along the street. SUBMITTED TO MAYOR
The ordinance, now in the hands of Mayor Fletcher Bowron for approval, is similar to the one which closed the street previously running between the Physical Education building and Bovard field.
Legal procedure requires a minimum of 60 days before the final ordinance may be passed. The street will be posted with improvement notices, and the 60-day period allows for any protests or objections to be heard.
After the period, if there are no objections, a final ordinance will be passed by the council restricting the street to university use.
PLANS ready •
The university administration has had the request before the council for several months, and plans are being readied for improvement if the ordinance is passed.
A driveway will be built from Exposition to the entrance to the Foyer of ToWn and Gown with a circular turnaround at the entrance. Neither parking lot, north or south, will be affected except for the closing of 36th place entrances.
Grass will be planted along the area with gravel paths similar to those between Old College and Administration. Bushes, trees, and other appropriate landscaping will also be added.

Haile Requests Job Applications From Graduates
Gym Instructors Convene in Reno
Physical education teachers from five southwestern states convene today at Reno for the annual convention of the American association of health, physical education, and recreation.
Three delegates from the instruc-toral staff of SC, Prof. Pauline Frederick, Miss Bernice Finger, and Miss Lois Ellfeldt, are in attendance at the conference. Dr. Frederick will deliver an address on “Teacher Prospects in the Physical Education Field.”

Luftwaffe Avoids London in Raids
To aid job placement after graduation and to avoid the usual summer rush in collecting references, John R. Haile, director of the bureau of employment, requests that June graduates file employment applications immediately.
The employment office is receiving numerous calls for graduates with various types of training and experience. Many of these go unfilled because of a lack of qualified applicants. Students expecting to find work either this summer or in the future should have applications, references, and records of training available to prospective employers through the university files.
A registration fee of $1 makes a student eligible for placement through the bureau for a period of one year. This covers the costs of collecting references from professors and previous employers, setting up and maintaining files, and making local telephone calls regarding employment.
Jugoslav Army Capitulates to Nazi Forces
Balkan Army Quits After 12-Day Battle; Greek Forces ‘Next’
BERLIN, April 18 — (U.E) — Jugoslavia has surrendered ‘•unconditionally” to Germany’s Balkan blitzkrieg, effective at noon today, .fter only 12 days of assault thav shattered an army of more than 1.000,000 men, the high command announced last night.
The German war machine, it' was said, is now ready to 'turn its full fury upon Greece where armored columns smashing “deep into the enemy line” are reported to be swiftly entrapping the British army at Mt. Olympus
QUIT ‘UNCONDITIONALLY’
A special high command communique, jubilantly blared over the radio, announced that “the entire Jugoslav army to the extent not already disarmed” had “unconditionally laid down its arms” at 9 p.m. Thursday.
“The capitulation is effective April 18 at noon,” it was stated.
The last guerilla-like gasps of Jugoslav resistance were said to have been wiped out in the Bosnian mountains around Sarajevo, the “birthplace” of the World war where the entire second Jugoslav army previously had capitulated.
FLANK MANEUVERS
A series of “flanking maneuvers” by German tanks and other armored equipment in the mountains around Sarajevo was said to have forced the capitulation of the still resisting Serbian troops.
“The belief of the Serbs that they could hold out in the wild mountains of Hertzegovina was shattered by the fighting spirit of our forces,” the German radio said.
After announcing the special high command communique, over all German radio stations, the stations observed three minutes of “victory silence” followed by Nazi anthems.
Adolf Hitler and his advisers already are re-drawing the frontiers of Jugoslavia, bom of the last great war to exist for barely 20 years, like Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Greeks to Vie in Songfest
Winners to Receive Gold Cups at Dance
Hopes of winning two gold cups are keeping fraternity men busy practicing for the interfraternity songfest Monday at 7:30 p.m. in Bovard auditorium. To date 17 fraternities have entered one of the two groups.
•
Winning teams will be announced at the interfraternity formal dance at the Cocoanut Grove next Thursday evening. At that time the victorious teams will receive their cups.
Each team will enter two songs in either the classical or novelty division, but no house may enter both groups. Each fraternity has pledged at least 50 per cent of its membership to sing on the stage Monday night.
Individual solos will be permitted only if they are a part of a group of voices explained Tom Eddy, chairman of the event. This ruling prevents experienced singers from winning the competition themselves.
“Just so the men sing the songs, almost anything will be permitted, said Eddy. “They can even act them out if they want to.”
Judges will base their decisions on novelty of songs in the novelty group, and excellence of perfor mance in the classicial division.
Auditions for the parts of a I guitar player and a popular vocalist in “The American Way” will be held in the Student Union lounge at 3:30 p.m. today. The Hong Kong had been made from
