Whether your interest in the stars has been purely decorative in the way that a parked car always comes equipped or if it happens because you plan to make Copernicus look like an amateur, the Griffith observatory offers to introduce you to that currently succssful planet, Mars.
Just make your way up into the altitude of Griffith park and watch Mars right in the midst of its private existence at any time between dark and midnight on any night but Monday in the dome room’s telescope. The charge is no dollars, no mills, and no tax.
NEIGHBORLY PLANET
Mars is being pretty neighborly this year. It is 4,000,000 miles farther out into thed istance than it was two years ago, but you can see it even bettr than then. Because in 1939 Mars was bashful. It stayed down close to the southern horizon and hid behind earth’s atmosphere.
When you look at planets or stars that aren't high up in the night sky the atmosphere gets in your way. It’s like looking at something through the wiggling air that writhes over a hot road in summer. Our heckling atmosphere trembles where warm and cold air art trying to get together, and it also absorbs light, to make things that uneasier.
Mars is riding high in opposition this year, 30 degrees upper than on its last visit; which means better peeking for you.
CHOOSE YOUR SPORT
When you look through the telescope at Mars you can decide just where on which polar cap would be the best skiing. But if you like swimming you’d better not consider rocketing up. There aren’t any oceans. You’d have more time for fun there, though. Mars has days a few minutes longer than ours. Or is it nights that matter?
It gets a little cool out there. At the equator the temperature ups to 40 ev£ry afternoon; but it drops a few degrees at night—to about 200 below.
If you are still considering the trip, it might be wise to warn you before you leave that pesimists maintain you’ll live only a fraction of a second exposed to the inhospitable planet.
Union Coffee Hour Resembles English Custom
Reminiscent of England’s 17th and 18th-century coffee-house disregarded for reportorial accuracy is the SC Student Union attitude of 1941. Between classes cam/pus critics order their mugs of hot steaming coffee, settle back comfortably in hard, oaken chairs, and proceed to analyze the latest issue of the Daily Trojan.
Old Samuel Johnson and his coffee-house statelites used to castigate the up-and-coming authors of urban London. Contentedly they removed from the “literary 400” the name of various offenders who dared write in styles not consistent with the dictates of the great Johnson. Goldsmith and Boswell quaffed their coffee under the bellicose influence of their master.
WORD WAS LAW
Supinely they accepted his ges-ticulative lectures and pontifical mutterings as though his every outburst shattered innovation. Uncouth, gruff, and ugly, his thoughts were the literary law.
Today the situation is not otherwise. The same coffee from year to year stimulates the same critical attitude. Each student is a Sam Johnson while he has the floor. ONE DIFFERENCE
His increased affability as a result of drinking coffee encourages further vituperations. There is, however, one minor deviation
mg that UCLA’s ill-fated vanishing Victory bell has been seen along SC’s fraternity row, a story appearing in a recent issue of the Daily Bruin pleads, by way of its headline, to someone to “Do Right by Our Knell.”
“If it wasn’t our bell, it was a dead ringer for it” was the statement, according to this story, coming from Doug Harrison, chairman of the UCLA rally committee, when he commented upon the reputed glimpse of evidence.
It seems that, as a result of the bell’s mysterious disappearance two weeks ago, there is a feud on, not only between two local educational centers but between the rally committee and the Daily Bruin as well, for each accuses the other of being slack in endeavoring to recover the bell. After the first spat over the matter broke out, Chairman Harrison is reported to have haughtily departed from the Bruin office whistling “I’m a Ding-Dong Daddy from Dumas.” TRAINS EXPERTS
That annual “confession period” that is such a headache for John Q. Public—the time when he fills out his income tax returns— will no longer be a worry-Jerker for at least a part of the country’s population now that the University of Minnesota is planning to devote a postgraduate course solely to a study of income taxation.
To the tune of “jolly well-played,” 25 young British refugees cheered at their first glimpse of a real American football game when Columbia university entertained them recently at the Columbia-Brown game.
LEARN THE ROPES
After a pre-game campus tour, the youthful Britishers were informed of the difference between the English game of rugby and the American sport of football, in order that they might go to the game “knowing all about everything.”
Students with a yen to fly are in luck if they go to the University of Georgia. Reason: that school offers a course in student flight training to all men who have had one year of college work and who are interested in flying.
ARMY PREPARATION
The course is designed as a stepping-stone to the army air corps, and more than 500 men have taken the training at Georgia since the program began.
A style review of latest bedroom apparel, or “What the Well-Groom-ed College Joe Will Wear Beddy-Bye,” was the climaxing feature of the annual loud pajama contest sponsored by Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Northwestern university.
Preceding the nocturnal fashion parade were the pajama relays run on campus between the gym and the Bible institute. Then came the style show, in which the participants passed in review before the discriminating eyes of seven comely sorority girls.
After presenting the winner of the race with a cup, the 1941 pajama queen, chosen from among the seven coeds, bestowed • a kiss upon the brow of the wearer of the loudest pajamas.

Tocatta and Fugue in D
minor (Request) ____________Bach
This is one of the most dramatic of all Bach’s works for the organ. The Toccata is brilliantly rhapsodical, with rapid passages alternating .with massed harmonic effects. The Fugue, developed from a roljing subject, closes with an extended coda in the style of the opening Toccata.

As ice cream makes apple pie a la mode, as a bathing suit goes with Miss America—that’s the effect of the Trojan marching chorus with the Trojan band.
If you’ve been to the football struggles, you have seen it. Otherwise you will be clever to call a convention of optometrists, opticians, and oculists and let them go to work on you.
The men—it’s a strictly stag matter—appear pleasantly and color -fuly clad in cardinal pants, yellow coats, felt hats, and white shoes. PROFESSIONAL DIRECTION
Dudley Chambers of Warner brothers studios directs the chorus in Troy’s songs, old and new, and ballads of the afternoon’s opponents. The group is also busy injecting a little well-deserved vigor into “The Star-Spangled Banner,” hoping to stir the multitudes’ cooperation in presenting the national anthem.
The Trojan marching chorus, which sang the “Alma Mater” honoring President von KleinSmid at the Ohio State game, has been made cheerful by the approval of the populace.
ON TO CAL—!
So now the singers are planning for a public future including vocal action at the Cal game and at Homecoming. They are also out with enthusiasm to introduce new school songs and novelty numbers.
The marching chorus rehearses every Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Cinema Arts building. It is anxious to double its number to 100 so that even the folks in the top seats of the coliseum will know that singing is occurring, singing
for old SC.
‘Little George* Proves Useful to Fraternity
Eighty-three pounds of human machinery with a soul; that’s “Little George,” the Sigma Phi Epsilon house boy.
This little Japanese whirlwind has given many hours of enjoyment to his employers in the year that he has been with them. His real name is Eto Hoshina, but the contraction of “Little George” is more suitable to his American tastes.
For Instance, to George everjv thing is ten cents. “Gimme dime” he says in requesting the price of matches, candies, furniture polish, and other household sundries. If one figures it closely it might be noticed that a slight profit is made on his investments.
When the little fellow came into the house last year he took the place of “Old Jim,” antiquated Negro who had served as a zealous house coordinate until he collapsed with age.
RETIRED ON PENSION
“Ah jus can’t work no mo,” claimed the decrepit darky upon his departure. He was put on a pension at the termination of his services ... old age pension.
Then the employment agency sent around the diminutive Nipponese representative to fill the vacancy. Upon arrival his only comprehensive words were, “One tly, one tly,” mingled with a vast amount of meaningless jargon.
He received the job and was given his “one tly.” In this day of grace he cleaned the house so thoroughly that a majority vote kept him in the position. FOREIGN JABBER USEFUL
The fact that George speaks In almost completely foreign chatter has proven to be an asset to him. Not so long ago the house manager, was talking to him and pleasantly agreeing with him although he was ignorant of the context of the rambling.
Suddenly Eto burst out laughing. Why? He had just completed a series of arguments talking himself into a raise. The house manager was nonplussed.
With his own quaint sense of humor, the little servant made the

The next time someone asks, “Do you hear?” after having given me instructions, I’m going to answer, “Yes except at frequencies of 4096 in m^ left ear and 4096 and 8192 in my
right ear.”
People will doubtless be astonished until I explain to them
what I am talking about.	-
It’s all very simple.
I took the audiometer test which is given at no charge to all students.
GREETED BY EXPERTS
Audiometer tests are not as bad as they sound. You go to 30 Old College where Mrs. Florence Browne and Mrs. Lucelia Moore, vice-president of the American Society for the Hard of Hearing, greet you and show you into the testing room. After you are seated, Mrs. Mildred Kennedy hands you a paper on which are 8 columns of blank spaces, and questions on past history of illnesses: colds, sore throats, ear aches, tonsilectomies, etc.
Mrs. Kennedy shows you how to adjust an ear-phone which you place over your left ear; then someone with excellent diction reads numbers to you. Gradually the volume of the voice diminishes, and you write as many of the numbers as it is possible to hear. The same process is repeated with the right ear. Thus, your hearing is measured.
I was lucky. My hearing is normal, according to the first test.
I wanted to try the second test which ascertains a hearing deficiency. So, I took the pure-tone test, which measures the lowest point of hearing ability.
In this test, tones of various pitches come through an ear phone which you place over each ear. In this manner the lowest hearing point of each ear is discovered. FURTHER CARE GIVEN
Had I been found with a serious deficiency, I would have been referred to Dr. Victor Goodhill, SC autoiogist, who would have given me advice and a prescription.
Airs. Kennedy’s case is unusual. As a child, she was hard of hearing. With the treatments from the Phipps unit, a powerful bone conduction machine which trains residual hearing—the hearing which is left in partly deaf people—she has developed her auditory abilities to an exceptional degree.
If you aren’t sure of your own auditory powers go down to Old College and find out.
New Egg Parasite to Rid Section of Black Widows
Do you have any lactrodectus mactans you have to get rid of? If so, baeus californicus Pierce can do the dirty work
for you.
After many months of study and research on the black widow spider, Dr. W. Dwight Pierce, Los Angeles county entomologist, has prepared a summary '	" describing a campaign carried on in this section and in Hawaii for the elimination with the introduction of the egg parasite baeus cali-fornicus Pierce.
This egg parasite lives only on the egg sacs of the deadly spider, which yearly becomes more abundant and has in some places reached alarming proportions.
“Its rapid spread is no doubt due to lack of proper checks and balances,” says Dr. Pierce.
The entomologist found that in the dune bowl on the shore side of El Segundo where the egg parasites abounds there has been a
4
great dimunution of the spider. He
also found that the baeus cali-fomicus Pierce does not occur anywhere else.
‘‘How it got there and whence it came is still a mystery,” Dr. Pierce said, explaining that it cannot get out of the dune bowl because of the barren sands surrounding it.
