During his three campus appearances this week, John Jacob Niles, specialist in singing American folk music, entertained his audiences with ballads, carlos, and folk songs.
Niles tells stories about the songs he sings, comments on their histories, and even criticizes in some instances.
The song which is always associated with his name, “I Wonder as I Wander out Under the Sky,” brought loud applause. Other favorites included “Seven Joys of Mary,” “Cherry Tree,” “The Curse on the Willoto,” and his two folk tales about the return of the dead.
During his Wednesday afternoon program, Niles began with an old English folk song, “Carian Crow.” Niles plays the dulcimer as accompanist to his singing. It is an instrument belonging to the zither family and dates back to the time of Henry VIII.
This is the ballad singer’s first western tour. He has recently been written up in Life magazine.
Prom bid sales to commence next Monday
Bids for the Junior-Interfrater-nity prom are to go on sale Monday for $2.85. each. Men not affiliated with a fraternity are to contact their barracks representatives. Others may buy them through their fraternity houses, according to Jack Sorenson, junior class president.
With Bob Crosby and his orchestra playing, the dance will be held at the Los Angeles Breakfast club Friday, June 2, from 9 pm. to 1 a.m. All SC servicemen who buy bids will be given leave until muster Saturday morning, said Sorenson.
“We wish to emphasize that no corsages are to be sent to women attending,” pointed out Sorenson. Due to wartime restrictions, flower decorations will be limited to the ballroom. In charge of decorations are Patty Parke, Delta Gamma; Bud Rudolph, ZBT; and Buzz Forward, Theta Xi.
Arrangements for the formal have been made by Jo Neal, ADPi; Jack Balzer, Phi Psi and Interfraternity president; and Sorenson, Kappa Sig.
“We have invited the president of the UCLA junior class to attend and have made arrangements whereby any members of his council may buy bids from us if they would like to come,” Sorenson stated.
Representatives in barracks are Roger de Young. E. von KleinSmid; Frank Hunting. Newkirk; Easy Slo-man, Henderson; Clarence Swartz, Reynolds, and Elmer McKeever, Williams.
Russ clothing quota named
The two-week drive to collect clothing from SC students and faculty members for Russian war relief is well underway, according to Eetty Hoskins, chairman.
Carried on in conjunction with the nationwide campaign for 1,000,000 pounds of clothing, the campus goal has been - set at one article of clothing from
Plasma donors rules listed
Trainee appointments for the June 7 visit of the American Red Cross mobile bloodbank will be made through barracks representatives, according to Sallie Unmack, chairman of the bloodbank.
Anyone desiring to donate plasma is advised to contact the representative in his barracks and make a definite appointment, in order to avoid all possible confusion during the short time that the unit is on the campus.
To make a deposit, trainees must (1) be 18 years of age, (2) weigh at least 100 pounds. <3) not have tuberculosis, past or present, (4) not have diabetes, (5) not have had malaria within the last 15 years, (6) not have had jaundice within the past six months, (7) not have an acute cold or other infectious diseases, (8) not have organic heart disease or undulant fever.
Due to the brevity of the unit’s visit, its use will be excusively for servicemen. Civilians who desire to donate blood are urged to contact the main office of ttie Red Cross to make an appointment.
Fourth estaters will meet today
A special meeting of all women students in journalism will be held today at 12:45 p.m. in the Trojan city room. “This is an important meeting and all women in the School of Journalism are urged to attend,” stated Nora Paredes, Theta Sigma Phi president.
each student and faculty member.
All types of garments are acceptable and should be taken to either the YWCA house or the Alpha Gamma Delta house. Clothing may also be deposited in the box in front of Administration.
Sponsored by the War Board under the guidance of Patty Wiese, the drive will continue through May 26. Any type of clothing suitable for shipment overseas is acceptable, only stipulation being that it be clean, Miss Wiese stated.
Girls who live at home and are not in any organization are especially urged to bring extra, discarded. or out-of-style clothing to one of the depots, declared Miss Hoskins.
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid, a member of the war relief council of Los Angeles, is backing the campus campaign.
Desperate need of Russians for all type of garments has arisen because war has brought to a standstill the manufacturing of all civilian clothing in the Russian factories, declared Miss Wiese.
Trojan radio show seeks new talent
A complete SC radio show is now being cast and all students interested are eligible to participate, according to Mary Kay Damson, chairman.
Anyone interested in writing, acting, announcing, typing, sound, music, or directing may contact Miss Damson in 326 Student Union, today from 2 to 5 p.m.
Decrease of V-12 program seen by Jacobs
“Curtailment of the V-12 program is now in sight, but present quotas in all colleges and universities will be maintained until November,” stated Vice-Adm. Randall Jacobs, chief of naval personnel.
Over-all requirements of the navy are growing less and will probably result in a decrease of approximately 25 per cent beginning with fall terms, but no units will be eliminated unless a college requests it or is unable to fulfill its obligations under the navy contract, it was stated in Admiral Jacobs’ address to the conference recently held at Columbia University.
“The NROTC will not be affected by curtailment of numbers in the general program,” stated Capt. Reed M. Fawell, commandant of the SC unit. “It is a permanent statutory organization authorized by congress, and as the program is reduced, NROTC quotas will probably be increased.’’
Captain Fawell and Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of LAS, attended the parley which was held recently on the Columbia

university campus, and called together delegates from all units and colleges where the program is in force.
“It has also been decided that no unit will be decreased below a minimum, roughly 200, necessary for efficient operation,” said the admiral. “The V-12 program will continue as long as the navy needs additional young officers to fight, and the size of the program will depend on the magnitude of the need.”
The reason for placing marines, medical trainees, aviation students, and other specially classified men in an all-inclusive V-12 program is to enable the navy to interchange personnel as needs arise. If men are given practically the same scholastic background, this change is facilitated, Admiral Jacobs pointed out.
In the naval college training program, the proportion of officer candidates with previous active service is steadily rising as men who have served with the fleet? in various war theaters are sent back for officer training.
Bell returns-or did you knowr
The tarnished hunk of brass now reclining’ on its brilliant red chassis in the Student Union hall is, as almost everyone knows, the stolen but returned Victory Bell.
No sooner did Wednesday’s edition of the Trojan appear on campus than up chugged our dis-appearable gridiron charmer, escorted by a Trojan Knight and a sturdy member of the paper’s sports staff.
Previous to the return, the chassis was found investigating the intricacies of the alley behind Science hall. It was returned to th© Union to await its better half.
What happened to the bell? UCLA did not borrow it, and the Trojan did not remove it for a publicity stunt. What happened to the bell? Figure it out for yourself.
The fact remains that ye olde belle has returned and is evidently quite tired from its excursion, to judge from its reclining attitude and smudged visage.
