There shall be music! No jumping jive or campus “corn,” but solemn, dignified classic and semi-classics.
Meanwhile, the ivory keyboard for the Mudd hall of philosophy chimes gather dust, for there is no one to play them. When former chime artist Wanda Elvin did not enroll this semester, the daily 1 o’clock chime recital was discontinued and a search started for another player.
For twelve years the chimes have sounded out their melodies to a distance of two miles.
The 30-foot pipes, hung at the top of the 150-foot
tower, are electrically struck from the control room located on the second floor.
On the keyboard are 25 keys, providing a range of only two octaves, in comparison with eight on the standard piano keyboard. Only one note can be played at a time and a half-second elapses between striking the key and the resultant sound.
Every quarter-hour of the day, week, and year is tolled out by means of an automatic device, which sets the clappers in motion with a force powerful enough to crush a man with ease.
“For whom the bell tolls,” it tolls for a player.

Following the decision, the student, Barney Land, graduate in the School of Education, began a move to secure the immediate lifting of parking restrictions on Hoover between 34th street and Exposition boulevard.
COURT RENDERS DECISION
The court ruled that the Los Angeles ->lice commission had exceeded its authority in defining Hoover boulevard as a business street, subject to the posting of one-hour time limits.
Existing status list the area only as ‘ residential," not subject to business district parking bans. TTie classification of the district, according to the court, is the function of the planning commission, and the arbitrary posting of the signs by the police commission is illegal. EMPOWERS POLICE
Section 28 of the municipal code, in which legal refuge was sought for the recent wholesale issuance of citations by police, empowers the police commission to post signs only in business districts. This section, passed in 1924, has since been superseded by new ordinances.

Bomber Crashes Enroute to East for RAF Delivery
EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 19—
A Lockheed bomber enroute to the East Coast for delivery to Great Britain crashed at the El Paso Municipal airport today after striking a radio tower. The pilot and co-pilot were killed.
The bomber ripped through the mesquite brush and gouged a deep hole in the sandy wasteland beside the airport.
The large, olive colored, twin-mctored ship bearing the British insignia, flew from the West Coast with two others. It was believed that Pilot Marino Guglielmettl might have tried to bank around the 132-foot steel tower in an attempt to land.
A two-way investigation of the crash was underway tonight. Federal bureau of investigation agents Joined Edward R. Yurovich, supervisor of safety regulations for the civil aeronautics authority who happened to be in El Paso today in probing the crash.
