Connie Kivari, student recreational chairman, announced yesterday that Jack Man-son and his seven-piece orchestra will provide music for the second all-U dig in the gymnasium Monday night from 7:30 until 9:30.
Harry Anderson, faculty director of the summer recreational program, said that plans are being made for a larger attendance Monday night.
Refreshments will be served to guests in the hallway connecting the two divisions of the gymnasium.
MANSON TO PLAY In the selection of a band for this second all-U dig, it was decided to obtain the services of an SC graduate. Manson attended this university for three years and received his degree in February.
While a student here he participated in football rallies and en-j tertained at student assemblies.
As a sophomore he worked with friends in the composition of music for a varsity show which played in Bovard auditorium.
Manson has done much orchestral work and has sung with local bands for several years.

dig.
[ “His music will be smooth as the dance floor,” Miss Kivari said.
This second dig will be informal like the first affair last Monday night. Men and women are invited to attend with or without dates—“anything to get an all-out attendance.” Anderson remarked.
The purpose of these dances is to provide an opportunity for out-of-town students to become acquainted with members of the summer student body. Besides the three digs scheduled for the six-weeks session, there are scheduled 12-week proms, hayrides, and a summer field day to be held late in August.
Admission 25 cents
Admission fee for Monday’s dance will be 25 cents a person. Stags are asked to break in on partners during each number, one of the evidences of informality.
"The only thing you have to know before you cut in on a pair of dancers,” Miss Kivari chortled, “is how to dance and how to recall your name.”
Chaperones for Monday’s dance have not yet been named, Anderson said.

Major Maytorena Announces Aviation Class for Teachers
SC aviation coordinator, Maj. Claude M. Maytorena, announced yesterday that the aviation department will offer a special seven-week free course in “air conditioning” which will include navigation, meteorology, operation of aircraft and engines, and civil air regulations.
“Registration is limited to persons holding: secondary teaching credentials and only 25 students will be admitted into the course,” Major Maytorena revealed. “It is important to note that there is no tuition charge, as these studies are sponsored by the government through the civil aeronautics authority.”
Prospective students will be interviewed by Major Maytorena all day Monday, July 13, in the aviation department offices in Old College.
In addition to its important function as a training school for students interested in aviation, Major Mayto-rena’s instructing unit teaches ground school courses to several classes of army aviation cadets from local training bases. These courses are designed to include many military, as well as mechanical aspects of aeronautics.
In an effort to portray cinematic-ally the means whereby an outstanding peacetime medium of entertainment may be speedily converted into a successful educational and morale instrument in wartime, the department of cinematography will offer a special program in Hancock auditorium on Tuesday evening, July 14, of wartime service films made by Walt Disney productions.
Designed to illustrate the work of animated films in the war effort, the showing in a sense will be a laboratory session, with an open forum planned betweeen each of the films to be screened. Robert S. Carr, member of the Disney business staff, will be chairman for the evening and will keynote the discussion with a talk on “The Animation Medium and the War.”
OUTPUT DISCUSSED
Seventy-five per cent of the total production output of the Disney plant in Burbank is at present devoted to the preparation of training and morale films for the government and war department. The films to be shown on Tuesday are representative of the best animated films produced in this category.
Highlights of the evening will be the showing of a restricted studio “Bambi Story Reel.” This film will serve as an explanation of each technical step in the making of animated pictures, including the pencil animation reel, the initial color reel, and the final release “trailer.”
PICTURES SHOWN
“Bambi,” Walt Disney’s newest production, is the synthesis of five years of painstaking preparation and represents the last word in animation.
Although many other animated films will be shown, the program will not definitely be announced until next Tuesday.
The next issue of the Summer Trojan will carry the complete program in addition to further information in regard to the showing.

The Griffith observatory, situated high on a mountain top overlooking Hollywood and west Los Angeles, was a gift to the city by the late Griffith J.

the Foucalt pendulum, illustrates the rotation of the earth.
It is a duplicate of the original device invented by the French
scientist.
Seismographs showing how earthquake tremors are recorded, are displayed in the west foyers of the observatory along with television
receivers of the latest type which operate when there are regular programs being broadcast from the Don Lee television station.
Spectacular electrical equipment illustrating in a simple manner many of the intricate principles of physics, is displayed under glass in the east foyer of the building. Spectrographic devices which break down the rays of the sun into pri-
mary colors and thereby enable scientists to analyze the elements of the various planets of the solar system are also shown.
Astronomy students may fulfill part of their class requirements by visiting the planetarium on this tour.
The second tour will be to the Huntington library and art gallery in San Marino, July 18. This
library gained international recognition as a storehouse of artistic beauties. The scope of the main exhibition extends from early legendary reference of California to the development of the modern city of Los Angeles.
Supplementing the manuscripts and printed books in the cases are numerous maps, views, and drawings. Among the last-named are
