' Are people huma*? With 15 blocks of Exposition boulevard in our wake, we had not only asked ourselves this question, we had answered it. No! Did motorists think we were walking in the middle of the street to see what we could find in the gutter? Didn’t they realize that we were two of the thousands of southern Californians stranded by the transportation tie-up?
With hope in our eyes, smiles on our faces, and pains in our feet, we had been standing at the corner of University avenue and Exposition boulevard.
Soon desperate plans formed in our heat-crazed minds. Could one of us hide behind a bush while the other smiled seductively at the drivers of convertibles and station wagons? Could one of us stretch out on the highway? At least then the cars would have to stop even if only to pick up the pieces.
Finally we decided that there was only one alternative. With one thought in mind we looked at each other and started down the road. After the first 15 blocks we cheered ourselves with the idea that there were only
75 more to go.	*
Suddenly, a screech of brakes, a blare of a horn, a beckoning finger: an aircraft worker with a car! No questions asked, we raced for the door. How were we to know that he was going the wrong way? We kept telling the man we didn’t live in Watts.
Five miles south of our goal, we hit Crenshaw boulevard, hooked a ride from the holder of an A card who was returning from a shopping trip, and rode for 10 minutes among onions, tomatoes, canned food, and a southern accent.
Finishing the trip on foot, we muttered farewell and went to our respective homes to soak our feet and curse humanity.

Fun-seekmg Troy crams gym Friday
The third in the series of all-'/ digs—this one in the SC gym Friday night—marked another triumph for the student body servicemen’s entertainment program.
Trojan coeds and navy, marine, and army trainees filled the gym to its rafters. Activity seethed everywhere from the beautifully lighted swimming pool to the jive-invested dance floor.
Taking up the main gymnasium room were violent volleyball games—girls and trainees energetically popping the leather ball to and fro across the net. Even as the 9:30 deadline approached, this type of activity continued its popularity.
Liquid refreshment was among the most popular entertainment; cokes, literally thousands of them, flowed in a steady stream to thirsty Trojans. Even those who had spent the evening swimming and diving in the downstairs pool strolled up to the second floor to partake in the pause that refreshes.
Most popular of the evening’s activities was dancing as usual. Some couples took to the rustic theme—girls sporting calico dresses and pigtails as they joined in a series of square dances.

Anatomy lab presents parade of wax stiffs
by Lois Stephenson
One man who really leaves his job behind when he goes home at night is Harry Griffin, embalmer, corpse caretaker, and the anatomy department’s mainstay in the school of medicine since 1929. “It was during the depression, and I applied for a job, any kind of a job. I thought maybe they’d make me a professor or something,

Postwar meetings begin this morning
In cooperation with the office of war information a two-day conference on war and postwar problems and inter-American affairs begins at 11:15 today in Bovard auditorium under the direction of Dr. John W. Studebaker, commissioner of the U. S. office of education.

but instead I wound up doing the embalming. I was glad to get any sort of work then, but now I don’t know.”
So related Griff to the cub reporter while we sat in the embalming room in the fourth floor of the science building in the presence of a four-day old cadaver being preserved for science. The corpse, who looked as though he were getting a transfusion, was a young man with a peculiar appearance. He was in a horizontal position on a piece of marble commonly called a slab.
His mouth was stuffed with cotton, likewise his nose. His eyes were taking in both sides of the room at once. His chest was swollen with embalming fluid, and his stomach was tinged with green. “He was a little ripe before I got him,” commented Griff.
“Griff,” I asked, “what do you like most about your job?”
“Well, I guess you could say it was going out to (nameless institution) to pick up the stiffs. I really enjoy those rides in the country.” The cadaver, whom I shall refer to as Oscar, was in the meanwhile still taking the fluid. And could he take it!
“What do you like least about embalming?”
