The gangplank is going up for the navy relief all-U dance tomorrow night on the USS Troy, better known as the Town and Gown foyer. Bids are on sale in the bookstore for $2.20.
The dance is being on campus for the convenience of the Flight Preps. Informality will be the keynote and khaki or dark suits will be the proper dress for the men and date dresses for the women.
This is the first time an NROTC dance has been open to the general student body and it is the last dance before finals. One feature of the affair will be the giving away of two $25 bonds to the holder of the lucky tickets. Leta Gal-entine, ASSC vice-prexy, will do the drawing.
Music will be provided by Paul Martin and his orchestra. Martin, noted for his “soothing music” has just finished an engagement at the Florentine Gardens.
Town and Gown will be transformed into the USS Troy through the aid of the RKO studios who are furnishing the nautical sets.
Committee chairman for the dance include Carl Sharpe, decorations; Norman Dahl, bids; Henry Rose, chaperones; Bill Ryan, orchestra; Bob Carter, location; and Evan Koppe, refreshments. Chaperones for the evening will be Commander R. E. Kerr, NROTC executive officer, and Commander Philip R. Baker, professor of naval science and tactics.

On the campus fronts
Caldwell returns from conference
by Bob Weide
Back from the Pacific Student President’s association meeting in Reno, Bill Caldwell, ASSC head at SC, revealed that “the major problem confronting west coast universities is to atempt to bring servicemen stationed on the campuses into student body activities as far as possible.”
Caldwell said that several schools on the coast, including Stanford university and Oregon State college, give servicemen full student body privileges. • “At UCLA, it was found servicemen were not particularly interested in student affairs. A survey showed they didn't have time for extra-curricular activities,” Caldwell pointed out.
Plans are currently being formulated for allowing the navy men stationed on the SC campus to enter into student activities, Caldwell divulged.
One of the most noticeable trends, according to Caldwell, is the repealing of laws allowing women to run for the office of student body president. Approximately one-third of the student heads attending the convention were women. UCLA now permits
juniors to hold the student body president’s office.
A new set-up was adopted at the conclave, dividing PSPA into three conferences, the northern, central, and southern. This new division will be in effect for the duration
Decoding courses to begin May 18
Classes in cryptography and cryptanalytics will be offered at SC for 12 weeks, beginning May 18, according to Dr. Ernest W. Tiegs, dean of University college.
Cryptography, the study of secret communications with the aid of a known key, and cryptanalytics, the breaking of unknown codes or cyphers without the knowledge of a key, will be taught twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 353 Administration building by Ivan Stone of New York.
Many possibilities of employment for trained decoders are in the state government, federal government, FBI, and many other agencies.
and was adopted to cut down traveling such long distances for conventions.
Conference delegates chose Caldwell to head the southern conference and Joe Mixer, UC, to serve as central head. The University of California will act as the co-ordinating school for the entire conference.
Caldwell divulged that “it was the consensus of opinion that the most important campus group is the war board. Most schools are granting their war boards more power all the time.”
At Mills college, the war board sponsored classical music programs for soldiers, .and it was found the soldiers “really appreciated it.” Attendance at these programs was large.
Entertainment for soldiers at army camps is provided by the San Jose State college drama department. Caldwell stated that many Pacific coast universities now use dance bands from the armed forces for their school dances.
It was unanimously agreed at the convention that, if at all possible, colleges should continue printing yearbooks, at least for the seniors.
in counselling and guidance rehabilitation. Students will receive vocational counselling, interpretation of psychological and vocational tests, occupational information in all occupational fields, principles of placement, job analysis, labor legislation, principles of industrial management, and actual experience on one or more nonprofessional jobs.
Prerequisites for enrolling in these classes are a degree from a recognized university or college and two years of paid experience in vocational guidance or social work. Those interested should register in 253 Administration building and may come to the first class meeting without charge. Two hundred of these agents are needed immediately by the state.
