No longer outside the realm of the university field dramatics, music, journalism, aeronautics, and other specialty fields have been included in the curriculum of the regular session. NROTC ADDED The naval reserve officers corps is the newest addition to the campus in the promotion of rational defense. Members of the unit are terested in becoming members of the varsity. The School of Music offers opportunities for those interested, whether enrolled in the school or not. to take part in the activities of the a cappella choir, glee clubs, and orchestra. Under the direction of Max Krone the vocal groups give concerts in various parts of the city. Dr. Lucien Caillet who directs the orchestra is a com- enrolled in naval science and will j poser and well-known director in his own right, as well as contributing his services to the university. SERVICE GROUPS AID The Associated Women Students, the Associated Students of the University of Southern California, the Young Women’s Christian association, tb' Young Men’s Christian associati and the Student Council on Religion with its supplementary clubs composed of members of the various faiths, all offer opportunities for the orientation and activity of the freshman and transfer students. Ontstanding organizations that base their existence on service to the university and rfho actively participate in every university function are, for the women, the Trojan Amazons, who require both high scholarship and active service before election in the junior Allan Nichols whose teams for the year; for the men, the Squires for past 15 years have won national sophgmores, and the Knights for prizes in forensics all over the juniors and seniors are also select-country. Women also participate, ed on the basis of scholarship and as do freshmen men who are in- i activity on campus. become regular members of the reserve corps of the United States Navy upon graduation. Also in the aid of national defense is the Civil aeronautics authority which trains young men and women to fly and otherwise train for entrance into some part of the army air corps. Those enrolled receive credit in the university as well. In harmony with their major in speech, those dramatically inclined may participate in the drama workshop or in the National Collegiate players for practice and experience both in front and behind the scenes. DEBATORS PARTICIPATE Debators may receive credit in speech for participation on any of the various squads healed by Dr. 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.

SC to NROTC to Begin Training Course Welcomes Seniors Advisement Day Troy Shows Opportunities % at University 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. rooms and lecture rooms, the Phys- fornia ceU That shows in wavy lines the other structures which culminated ! ical Education building also houses training and sound of the human voice, a set finishing of the Allan of weather bureau instruments Hancock Foundation in 1940.

Mudd hall of philosophy received the certificate of honor from the southern California chapter of the American Institute of Architecture for its outstanding architectuial beauty of design. 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. Designed primarily to acquaint graduating seniors and those in junior colleges throughout southern California with university activities, the event has been planned to afford these students with a complete picture of college activity. Highlight of the morning program is an address by Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid who will discuss “Youth's Role in National Defense.” Included in this 9:30 assembly is a concert presented by the SC orchestra under the baton of Dr. Lucien Cailliett. CHOIR PERFORMS Assisting the orchestra will be the university A cappella choir directed by Dr. Max Krone, professor of ihe School of Music. Registration and reception of visitors starts at 8:45 a.m. in Bovard auditorium, and is followed immediately by the general assembly. At 10:30, visiting students are invited to attend special round-table discussions to be presided over by outstanding educators and faculty members of the university. Such important problems as securing Jobs, finding the right college career. and what to expect as a student, will be discussed in these conferences. CONSULTATIONS HELD Individual consultations will be held at 11:15, and students are asked to consult their programs for exact departments and room numbers. A luncheon awaits Advisement day visitors at 12:30 p.m. in the Foyer of Town and Gown. Entertainment for the affair is under the auspices of the Associated Students of the university. Highlight of the afternoon's activities will be special exhibits prepared by departments and divisions of the university.

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.
