Smoke blackens office— no fire
With billows of grey smoke forming behind .the closed windows of the anthropology office yesterday morning, the prospects of a good fire seemed relatively certain.
The timely arrival of the Los Angeles fire department, however, saved the day. Disregarding the door around the comer, the firemen set up a ladder to the second floor of the building, and merrily climbed in through .the window.
Students who had gathered around the structure which houses the University of Southern California photographer thus witnessed a brief blaze plus a visit by two very shiny red fire trucks.
Incidentally, .the “blaze” consisted of a minor fire, ignited by a lighted match dropped into the departmental wastebasket.

Gallery offers mural exhibit
Offering an unusual opportunity to SC art enthusiasts, a collection of undersea murals by Edna Rein-del, local artist, is on exhibit as a visiting group in the Fisher Art gallery.
The group, painted on commission for the dining room of ,the governor of the Virgin islands, consists of five pieces: a seven-foot center panel, two side panels, and two over-door panels. According to Miss Winifred Poingdestrsr director of the Fisher gallery, Miss Reindel spent several years of research in libraries and aquariums in order to portray the marine life accurately. She has taken some liberties, however, in changing the relative size of .the objects and has painted them in their natural brilliant colors. Supplementing the oils is a series of corals and shells from Pago Pago, including a SO-inch, half-grown clam, loaned by the Los Angeles museum.
The murals will be moved after tomorrow to Washington, D. C., where they will await shipment. The two wings of the gallery house permanent collections of the old masters, donated by Mrs. Elizabeth Harris Fisher.
Tuesday through Friday the gallery is open from 12 noon to 5 p.m., from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and is closed on Mondays.

Malay course begins tonight
With an eye toward developments in the postwar Orient, a University College class in the Malay language will hold its first meeting tonight at 7 p.m. ln Bridge 205.
Dr. Eduard Winckel, who will conduct the course, has lived the greater part of his life in the East Indies among the natives of Java and Sumatra, the cradle of the Malay language. His knowledge of Malay dialects, customs, and life is very thorough, according to Dr. Theodore Hsi-En Chen, professor cf education and Asiatic studies.
More .than 80,000,000 people in East Asia speak the Malay language, and the course is being offered because of an anticipated increase in trade interest.
“America is becoming more and more aware of the unlimited commercial possibilities which will develop in tbe Orient after this war,” said Dr. Chen. “Undoubtedly our trade and commercial interests in that area will be greatly increased, and the person who is alert to the opportunities of the future will prepare himself for it”
Guest cards, obtainable in Administration 203, will admit any interested persons to the first meeting of the class.
Marine promoted
Miss Helen Hopkins, who joined the marine corps two months ago, has just received a rating as second lieutenant it was learned today. Lieutenant Hopkins is the former secretary of Robert E. Vivian, dean of the college of engineering.
postponed until tryouts can be held for the office.
The senate confirmed the Wiese appointment with but one dissenting vote. Miss Wiese, a senior, is a Delta Gamma, a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, scholastic honorary, and is on the YWCA cabinet. She will be in charge of coordinating the war effort on the campus. At present her board has jurisdiction over the casualty station, Red Cross activities, and the Victory Hut.
On the suggestion of Bob Fiske. Knights president, it was decided to appoint a committee to revamp the War Board constitution. Serving on the committee will be Bob Fiske, Leta Galentine, ASSC vice-president, and Don Shaw, junior class chief.
The action on Oliver’s appointment as elections commissioner was unanimous.	•
After Caldwell suggested the appointment of Thompson for head yell king, he admitted upon questioning by Mickey Heeger, LAS president, that Thompson technically was ineligible for the post because he had not been a student at SC for two years.
After a short discussion, Fiske suggested that a constitutional amendment be drawn up setting aside for the duration the present qualifications for the yell leader position and allowing the yell king to be chosen ‘In a way deemed sufficient and proper by the senate.”
The senate set July 15 for the freshman election.
Tentative plans have been made for an all-U dance to be held next Monday evening in the gymnasium. Caldwell, George McPherson, and Dorothy Smith are in charge of making arrangements for a joint dinner with the student governing bodies of UCLA and Occidental.

The next meeting to which everyone is welcome is a lecture on biographies and autobiographies, to be given in the art and lecture room in Doheny library at 11:30 to 12:30 Thursday morning.
The students in this course are required to choose five books from a list of fifty for their study. On this list are included works of American and English authors and translations from the best in foreign books. The list of books classifies into four groups—fiction, autobiographies and biography, travel, world problems—the 50 most desirable current books.
These books and other outstand-
ing recent ones are on display in the treasury room of Doheny library, the only place in the library where an “open shelf" room is maintained which enables not only students registered for the course but others as well to become acquainted with the excellent collection of recent books the SC library has to offer.
