Scientists Make Electric Violin
Modem science, moving into the musical field, has developed an electrically-operated instrument that can single-handedly take the parts of a whole string quartet, and that instrument will be demonstrated in today's exhibition of the physics department.
The electronic violin, as the invention is called, will never oust the artists, however, for it can produce the sound of but one instrument at a time, but It can actually imitate the violin, viola, cello, and bass viol.
With this electronic violin, the purpose of which is the scientific study of the tones of stringed instruments. a graduate student at SC hopes to perfect a new musical tone.
Among the other physics demonstrations are a photo-electric
SC Buildings Grow From Barren Plains
From a two-story white-frame building standing ln the midst of a plain covered with wild mustard where the cattle from the neighboring farms grazed during the day to a 45-acre campus covered with more than 15 brick buildings and standing in the center of a great metropolis — that is the story of the 60-year growth of SC,
The university and Los Angeles ,-
grew hand in hand, for on September 4. 1880, the anniversary of the establishment of El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles. 500 or so spectators witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of the first building, which has since become the School of Music building.
EXPENSES EARNED
Many old timers have said that some students paid their expenses at the new university by keeping cows in pasture on the surrounding fields.
The young university made rapid progress and in 1884 laid the cornerstone for the building of the middle section of what is now Old College. The wings of this building were added in 1905.
Construction of the Administration building in the Italian Romanesque architectural style in 1919 of red brick set the model for the
fices. and the offices of the School of Journalism the Student Union building has also provided a student lounge, book store, and restaurant since its dedication in 1928.

Charles Johnston — extends greetings.
In behalf of the students of SC I welcome you high school and junior college seniors to our 13th annual Advisement day.
The purpose of this day is to show you what college is like so that you may reach a decision regarding your higher education. To achieve this we have arranged faculty consultations, roundtables, and exhibits of actual work going forward in the various departments of the university.
I think you will profit by the hours you spend here.
Charles Johnston, ASSC President.
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid —
welcomes visitors.
We are pleased to extend to you a sincere welcome to the campus of the University of Southern California.
It is our hope that you may find this day one of enjoyment and profit. Never has it been more important for students to consider carefully the manner in which they can best prepare themselves for the future. The facilities of the University have been placed at your disposal in order that you may seek answers to your questions and problems.
R. B. von KieinSmid,
President.
University Assists in Finding Work
“Line up a high school track team against a college track squad and you’ll have much the same results as when students leaving high school are in competition with college graduates for worthwhile jobs,” explains John R. Haile, director of the university employment bureau, in discussing job opportunities.

The naval reserve armory will receive applications for V-7 reserve {midshipman training, Capt. Reed M. Fawell, head of the NROTC unit, announced yesterday.
Only seniors and graduate students are eligible and must have a B.A., B.S. or engineering degree.
I and have completed two one-semester courses in college mathe-wom- matics.
The quota for the southern Cali-area is 56 for engineering 50 for deck training and deck duty applications are now in excess. Capt. Fawell advises that men who enter the engineering department will have better opportunity for placement.
All men Interested in applying may obtain information in 105 Physical Education building.
Mr. Haile believes that this example typifies rather accurately the differences in equipment, training, and experience that exist between a properly-equipped college man and a person seeking employment immediately after leaving high school.
WORKERS DEMANDED
“The demands of defense Industries for added workers and the effect of the draft on the employees of smaller industries is creating demands for men to fill part-time jobs,’’ Mr. Haile declares.
“This makes it much easier for college students at the present time either partially or wholly to support themselves while attending a university and preparing themselves for better positions in the future.
“The opportunities and abilities of the person that has graduated from college are immeasurably greater than those of the untrained person, no matter what occupation he is engaged in.”
QUESTION ASKED .
In answer to the frequent question, “What will I get out of a college education?” Mr. Haile said:
“The ability to grasp relationships and opportunities that those without an adequate background often entirely fail to see.
“The superiority in this respect of a college graduate over the average high school graduate usually becomes apparent and puts the college man on top within from three to six months.”
American Way Performance Held Tonight in Bovard
Graduate Artists Exhibit Originals
Fifty-five paintings and drawings by seven SC graduate art students were first exhibited yesterday in the Fisher art gallery.
A two-week showing of works in oil, water, pencil, and crayon, each student is required to exhibit a score of original creative pieces for his master of fine arts degree.
“The American Way,” with alluniversity cast of 80. will end its first West coast production in Bovard auditorium at 8:15 p.m. today after two successful performances on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Tickets for the all-U show are 25 cents with a student activity book or 55 cents to the general public. The price of general admission is 40 cents without the activity book privilege.
Whipped into a production in five weeks by Edmund Evans, drama coach, “The American Way” utilizes more than 80 persons in its 19 scenes. Evans overcame the seeming indifference of a blase student body by begging and haranguing the group into attending the rehearsals.
The Kaufman and Hart story of the two German immigrants who seek their fortune in the United States, is an American cavalcade that roots out the worst and the best in a democracy. The plot laughs while it speaks of tragedy and pathos.
Almost every group on the campus has some representation in the show: Bob Earle, and the members of the Trojan band appear in several sequences of tht. show; the speech and drama departments carry the main weight of the show with the radio division furnishing the needed equipment for recording and sound effects.
Troy throws open wide its gates today to welcome more than 1500 high school and junior college students who are the guests of the university for SC’s 13th annual Advisement day.
