Last Thursday Mayor Bowron announced the findings of a secret investigation by Wallace N. Jamie, of Los Angeles politics and underworld activities.

FORMER JUDGE
The office of John F. Dockweiler, recently elected district attorney on a reform program, will continue the investigation of “what is rotten in Los Angeles,” according to the mayor.
A former student of the SC School of Law and a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, Mayor Bowron sat' on the supreme court bench for 12 years. In spite of his judicial duties, he was able to take an active part in civic affairs.
STUDENTS INVITED
Dr Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the Graduate School, at the request of Mayor Bowron is serving on a committee to mediate a strike of drug store employees of the Los Angeles area.
“Those graduates who are new on the campus the council of the Associated Graduate Students extends a particular invitation to attend the meeting.” Paul Pauly, president of the student body, said. “These luncheons are social as well as academic affairs. Here students find ar. opportunity to meet the faculty in an informal manner,” he said.
OXNAM IN CHARGE
Robert F. Oxnam, vice-president of the AGS, is in charge of arrangements. According to Oxnam, the early sale of tickets indicates a large attendance of faculty members. Among those who will attend are:
Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, who will introduce the mayor; Dr. Frank Jonas, acting head of the political science department; Harry Silke, director of special foundations; Dr. Joy L. Leonard, head of the department of economics; and Dean Arlien Johnson of the Graduate School of Social Work.
CHAIRMAN NAMED
Paula George is chairman of a committee of hostesses for the occasion. She will be assisted by Margaret Brown, Eleanor Kuehm-sted, and the entire council.
Because of the general interest in city government, the meeting is open to upper division students, particularly those in political science government.
This program is one of a series given by the Associated Graduate Students to bring outstanding educators and leaders in civic affairs to the campus.
Tickets are on sale for 45 cents at 106 Administration and by members of the student council of the Graduate School.
Ennis to Play at Homecoming
Dance Scheduled for December 7
Preparations for the annual alumni Homecoming dance swung into action today with the announcement by Smokey Martin, student dance chairman, that the dance committee had secured the services of Skinnay Ennis and his band for the affair.
Martin said that the Homecoming dance will be held in the fiesta room of the Ambassador hotel Saturday night, December 7. Included on the entertainment program of the event will be the team of Six Hits and a Miss who will sing along with Ennis’s band, and during intermissions.
Tickets will go on sale the latter part of the week and will sell for $1.75 a couple, according to Martin. The dance will be informal.
Members of both the Trojan and the Notre Dame football teams will be present along with prominent alumni, Martin said. He expressed the belief that several former Trojan all-American greats would also be there.
Twenty-five thousand alumni invitations to the dance have been mailed, according to Dick Keefe, alumni promotion chairman. Keefe added that publicity for the dance will be presented to Trojans and alumni in the form of posters, bulletins, radio announcements, and newspaper stories.
Student members of the Homecoming dance committee include: Chairman Martin, Clark Liddell, John Gripman, Don Milligan, and Marsh Green.
How will that help? It’ll because the “ticket” you’ll need to get in at the dance will be either canned food or money that will go to the aid of those people who haven’t the money to go to a dance, tonight or any night.
Dave Gregg and his 11-piece orchestra are scheduled to play, and Martha Nan Collins, Trojan composer, will play some of her own popular songs, while Jane Eccles, another Trojane, will sing them. Mary Ruth Stagg. who is aiding in arranging the dig, announced last night that Tommy Dorsey is going to play some of Miss Collin’s popular compositions over the air sometime this week.
FOOD DISTRIBUTED
Miss Stagg requested that in bringing food it would be best if freshmen brought green canned vegetables, such as peas, string beans, et cetera; sophomores, canned fruit; and juniors and seniors, staple foods, such as potatoes, rice, and noodles.
The food or the money will be placec in cardinal and gold boxes for distribution to 30 Russian, Mexican, and Armenian families. The families who will receive the aid will be designated by the International Settlement house of Los Angeles.
SPONSORS LISTED
Plans for the distribution of baskets formed from SC contributions have been changed from the methods used last year. Last Thanksgiving students made the distributions directly to the homes.
Family pride caused the beneficiaries to object to the obviousness of charity donations given in this manner. Some families, sensitive to their neighbors’ opinions, even refused to accept the food, despite their need.
SCHEDULED FOR 7 P.M.
The International Settlement house, located in the Boyle Heights district, will endeavor to handle the matter with more tact this year, and it was predicted by students that the organization would have more success than student organizations had last year.
The dig. sponsored by the YWCA, World Friendship, and Social Service clubs, is scheduled to begin at 7 o’clock this evening.
Non-Orgs Crowd Student Lounge at First Dance
One hundred and sixty non-orgs attended the Lancer’s first dance Friday night in the student lounge.
“The dance was a success in every sense of the word,” reported Bob Moody, general chairman of the group.
He said the receipts totaled one-third more than the cost of presentation, including music, use ol the lounge, and refreshments.
“The Lancers have discovered what they believe—that the student’s want large-scale, on-campus activities offered at a reasonable price,” Moody concluded.
