LET’S CRITICIZE
No article on a college yearbook would be complete without a little adverse criticism but trite as this last phrase may sound I have one good beef about the 1942 El Rodeo. Where is the index? After an hour of tedious search I decided there was none.
Now how are poor stags like me going to find out what a girl looks like when some well-meaning fra temity brother tells me that he has a dream with whom to fix me up?

HEADS and TALES
The United States army airforce has a new and already tested unit of airpower, the 23rd pursuit group. Just in case the 23rd sounds new to you, let’s call it the flying tigers.

fAlbert M. Hill, publicity director for the Los Angeles ity Chamber of Commerce, will be the first speaker for ie summer Pan-American league meetings which will be ild every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock in the Student mnge of the Student Union building. kHill, a graduate of Texas Christian university, has special -r on Pan-American articles and subjects. For the past six rs he has taken a keen interest in the foreign trade de-tment of the Chamber of Commerce.

As Americans celebrated July 4th, the Chinese sadly gave up this unit of American pilots that have so nobly defended the last vestige of free China.
As a part of the American volunteer group was entertained at a pr.rty in the Chinese provisional capital—at which Mme. Chiang Kai-shek was a guest—the Central News Agency of China called it “a sad day.”
JAPS MOVE IN
The wily little Jap, peering through thick lensed glasses thought that this would be an ideal time to take a crack at the bothersome American unit; however, the little gentlemen met with unexpected resistance. It seems that only apart of the AVG went off to the party and ceremonies. The group that remained, in constant vigil, met the enemy and drove them off with a score of five Japs downed. In this llth-hour attack by the enemy, the American armed forces served notice that there was just one sleepy day for free Aimricans— Dec. 7th—there will not be another! PLANS FOR FEEDING
This year the Department of Agriculture plans on feeding some 10,000,000 British on American meats, milk, eggs, and vegetables. Short-rationed Britons might call this a windfall; yet it is representative of the concentrated effort of the allied nations t> gain reciprocal strength from their union.
But, from the continent of Europe the sad tale of hunger need is beginning to the outside world. It three things have

It will be easy to learn .these things in the new jiu-jitsu class now being formed under the direction of Prof. William LaPorte in the department of physical education. Professor LaPorte, director of the physical education program, has announced that persons interested in the new course should inquire at 200 Physical Education building today and the rest of this week to enable organizers to plot class meetings and to work out a weekly program.
There will be no credit given for enrollees and there will be no en-
rollment fee. The jiu-jitsu course
has been started for the purpose of assisting the new accelerated physical education program, and meetings of the clacs will be informal.
It is planned. Professor LaPorte said, for the Classes to begin immediately, and he asks students to indicate their willingness, one way or another, so that the program can get underway.
The jiu-jttsu class will be open to all students, and will meet today at 2:30 p.m., 202 P.E. building, for the first session.

University to Begin Musical Aid Course
For parents who would like frank, competent advice and assistance with respect to their children’s musical education the University of Southern California has announced a musical aid plan whose first class will convene Saturday, 9 a.m. in

Unknown Scribe Analyzes War
Do you do a day’s work before your eight o’clock class each morning? Do you take down the blackout curtains, gather the wood, get breakfast, and rush to class? Do you take care of some evacuees or their children? Do you rush from class to do the day’s marketing? Undoubtedly you do not do all of these things, for you are an American.
Yet in England the college ‘girls
\
or girls of college age have many more responsibilities than do the Americans. Life takes on a much more serious aspect than buying a few defense stamps now and then, taking a first aid course or donating a scrap of rubber “to the cause.” British are all out for defense; there is no half-way mark about it. Are Americans? Let’s see.
First you say, you don’t understand what to do? Alright here’s the rubber situation. Your first question . . why? Did you know that rubber is used for airmen’s rubber dinghies, for oxygen masks, and for Mae West’s life jackets? It is used for the landing wheels of bombers, de-icing equipment, and self-sealing tanks.
One battleship alone takes 75 tons of rubber. A soldier’s tin hat is padded with rubber. Yes, and that is only a mere part of what rubber is used for in this war. Commandos (Continued on Page Three)

ents who desire advice in the development of their children’s musical education, and stress has been placed on enabling the parent to determine the degree of ability, ,the type of instrument that should be studied, and the correct age at which the child should undertake instruction.
METHOD TOLD
The musical aid plan provides the answers in these ways;
1. By consultation with one or more of three outstanding teachers of the School of Music faculty who have won national reputations in the instruction of children in piano, stringed instruments, and wind instruments.
2. By 10 free class lessons for beginners on the instrument chosen, under one of these experts. These are taken over a period of three weeks.
3. By candid recommendations at the end of this trial period to the parents, based on the aptitude and interest shown by the student.
NO OBLIGATIONS
As to the obligations, there are none. At the end of the trial period the parent is at liberty to discontinue his child's lessons or to have him continue with any teacher he chooses, anywhere.
Concerning the instruments, the university has a limited number of (Continued on Page Four)

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. Griffith, after whom the municipal park has been named. Atop the hill rests the planetarium containing many exhibits, photographs, and mechanisms of interest to sightseers and students of astronomy. .
PENDULUM DI5 \LAYED '
In the main foyer a large bronze ball swings from the ceiling by means of a steel wire. This device, the Foucault pendulum, illustrates the rotation of the earth. f
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. PHYSICS COVERED
Spectacular electrical equipment illustrating in & 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 primary colors and thereby enable scientists to analyze the elements of the various planets of the solar system are also shown.
Asctronomy students may fulfill part of their class requirements by
visiting the planetarium on this tour.

exhibition extends from early legendary reference of California to the development of the modem city of Los Angeles.
Supplementing the manuscripts and printed books in the cases are numerous maps, views, and drawings. Among the last-named are two series of special interest. One ic the work of J. Goldsborough Bruff, who traveled from Washington, D. C., to California on the Overland trail in 1849. En route, he made many sketches which were later the basis of pastel and water-color drawings.
Twenty of theje are shown, along with 10 drawings by Willirun Rich Sutton, who made his sketches, from San Diego to San Francisco, ni the years 1947-52.
Hutton's drawings have been reproduced. by collotype, in a volume published by the library this autumn.
OILS EXHIBITED
Many famous oil paintings are displayed in the Huntington library. However, some enjoyment has been taken away from visitors since war conditions have forced directors to close the new gallery, a division of the library containing many of the masters’ works. Now shown in this section are works of contemporary artists.
The “Blue Boy” and some 20 paintings of the 18th-century masters have been retired during the war emergency. Gainsborough, Reynolds, and Rcmney, however, are well represented in paintings that - remain on exhibition.
STUDIO VISITED
Later in the summer. Stonier will guide students to the Columbia Broadcasting studios and to several other points of interest. Last year ! persons were permitted to visit Catalina island, the San Pedro docks, and other places that will not be opened to visitors this year because of the war.
Persons desiring to make reservations for Friday’s tour may do so in

Chiang Kai-shek was a guest—the Central News Agency of China called it “a sad day.” JAPS MOVE IN The wily little Jap, peering through thick lensed glasses thought that this would be an ideal time to take a crack at the bothersome American unit; however, the little gentlemen met with unexpected resistance. It seems that only apart of the AVG went off to the party and ceremonies. The group that remained, in constant vigil, met the enemy and drove them off with a score of five Japs downed. In this llth-hour attack by the enemy, the American armed forces served notice that there was just one sleepy day for free Aimricans— Dec. 7th—there will not be another! PLANS FOR FEEDING This year the Department of Agriculture plans on feeding some 10,000,000 British on American meats, milk, eggs, and vegetables. Short-rationed Britons might call this a windfall; yet it is representative of the concentrated effort of the allied nations t> gain reciprocal strength from their union. But, from the continent of Europe the sad tale of hunger need is beginning to the outside world. It three things have (Continued It will be easy to learn .these things in the new jiu-jitsu class now being formed under the direction of Prof. William LaPorte in the department of physical education. Professor LaPorte, director of the physical education program, has announced that persons interested in the new course should inquire at 200 Physical Education building today and the rest of this week to enable organizers to plot class meetings and to work out a weekly program. There will be no credit given for enrollees and there will be no en- rollment fee. The jiu-jitsu course has been started for the purpose of assisting the new accelerated physical education program, and meetings of the clacs will be informal. It is planned. Professor LaPorte said, for the Classes to begin immediately, and he asks students to indicate their willingness, one way or another, so that the program can get underway. The jiu-jttsu class will be open to all students, and will meet today at 2:30 p.m., 202 P.E. building, for the first session. First Annual Summer Tour Reservations Now Available Students should begin making reservations at the ticket office in the Book store of the Student Union today for the first Summer Session tour to the Griffith observatory Friday evening at 8:30, Kenneth K. Stonier, director, announced yesterday. Two hundred reservations have been made available for this opening trip, and persons are asked to purchase their 25-cent tickets before the end of the week.

University to Begin Musical Aid Course For parents who would like frank, competent advice and assistance with respect to their children’s musical education the University of Southern California has announced a musical aid plan whose first class will convene Saturday, 9 a.m. in the School of Music building. The course is designed for par- Unknown Scribe Analyzes War Do you do a day’s work before your eight o’clock class each morning? Do you take down the blackout curtains, gather the wood, get breakfast, and rush to class? Do you take care of some evacuees or their children? Do you rush from class to do the day’s marketing? Undoubtedly you do not do all of these things, for you are an American. Yet in England the college ‘girls \ or girls of college age have many more responsibilities than do the Americans. Life takes on a much more serious aspect than buying a few defense stamps now and then, taking a first aid course or donating a scrap of rubber “to the cause.” British are all out for defense; there is no half-way mark about it. Are Americans? Let’s see. First you say, you don’t understand what to do? Alright here’s the rubber situation. Your first question . . why? Did you know that rubber is used for airmen’s rubber dinghies, for oxygen masks, and for Mae West’s life jackets? It is used for the landing wheels of bombers, de-icing equipment, and self-sealing tanks. One battleship alone takes 75 tons of rubber. A soldier’s tin hat is padded with rubber. Yes, and that is only a mere part of what rubber is used for in this war.

METHOD TOLD The musical aid plan provides the answers in these ways; 1. By consultation with one or more of three outstanding teachers of the School of Music faculty who have won national reputations in the instruction of children in piano, stringed instruments, and wind instruments. 2. By 10 free class lessons for beginners on the instrument chosen, under one of these experts. These are taken over a period of three weeks. 3. By candid recommendations at the end of this trial period to the parents, based on the aptitude and interest shown by the student. NO OBLIGATIONS As to the obligations, there are none. At the end of the trial period the parent is at liberty to discontinue his child's lessons or to have him continue with any teacher he chooses, anywhere. Concerning the instruments, the university has a limited number of (Continued on Page Four) Second All-U Dig Scheduled Monday Harry Anderson, director of the university’s recreational program, reminds students that the second summer dig will be held in the gymnasium next Monday from 7:30 until 9:30 p. m. An orchestra will provide music for the occasion, Art Whiting having supplied the melodies last night at the first ail-U dig, and refreshments will be served in the foyer connecting the two wings of the gymnasium. As all Trojan digs, the affair will be informal, and students may attend with or without dates. Admission fee will, be 25 cents. nbe 25 & bers with interest spots in and near Los Angeles. They are of an informative nature and are synchronized with the greater university educational program. 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. Griffith, after whom the municipal park has been named. Atop the hill rests the planetarium containing many exhibits, photographs, and mechanisms of interest to sightseers and students of astronomy. . PENDULUM DI5 \LAYED ' In the main foyer a large bronze ball swings from the ceiling by means of a steel wire. This device, the Foucault pendulum, illustrates the rotation of the earth. f 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. PHYSICS COVERED Spectacular electrical equipment illustrating in & 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 primary colors and thereby enable scientists to analyze the elements of the various planets of the solar system are also shown. Asctronomy 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 DR. CLARENCE E. CLEMINSHAW — Faculty member connected with Griffith park observatory. Ralph George Injured During Gym Workout Ralph George, engineering major, suffered concussion and a possible skull fracture when he fell in the men’s apparatus room yesterday during a workout. His condtiion was reported as being good by Dr. Herman Epstein who placed George in the Methodist hospital for further observation and examination by a specialist. Trojan Solicits Campus Letter Writers' Copy What is the difference between a bulletin board and a‘ campus newspaper? Plenty, if students have enough energy jthe student Union Book store at exhibition extends from early legendary reference of California to the development of the modem city of Los Angeles. Supplementing the manuscripts and printed books in the cases are numerous maps, views, and drawings. Among the last-named are two series of special interest. One ic the work of J. Goldsborough Bruff, who traveled from Washington, D. C., to California on the Overland trail in 1849. En route, he made many sketches which were later the basis of pastel and water-color drawings. Twenty of theje are shown, along with 10 drawings by Willirun Rich Sutton, who made his sketches, from San Diego to San Francisco, ni the years 1947-52. Hutton's drawings have been reproduced. by collotype, in a volume published by the library this autumn. OILS EXHIBITED Many famous oil paintings are displayed in the Huntington library. However, some enjoyment has been taken away from visitors since war conditions have forced directors to close the new gallery, a division of the library containing many of the masters’ works. Now shown in this section are works of contemporary artists. The “Blue Boy” and some 20 paintings of the 18th-century masters have been retired during the war emergency. Gainsborough, Reynolds, and Rcmney, however, are well represented in paintings that - remain on exhibition. STUDIO VISITED Later in the summer. Stonier will guide students to the Columbia Broadcasting studios and to several other points of interest. Last year ! persons were permitted to visit Catalina island, the San Pedro docks, and other places that will not be opened to visitors this year because of the war.

And this Summer Trojan is a student newspaper. From today on, letters to the editor will be printed on the feature page, as written—if they pass the board of censors. Personal complaints, complimentary words, criticisms of campus life, cynicism, exuberance, comedy, tragedy—all emotions will find ink at the Trojan nightshop through this letters-to-the-editor column.

Those who find time may bring them to the Trojan offices on the fourth floor of the Student Union. Also desired by the Trojan staff are feature articles, human interest stories, and personal interviews. The paper can become a billboard of SC’s passing parade, or it can fall back into a bi-weekly bulletin board—and no one wants that to happen, Editors heartily seek the (Continued on Page Four) the cashier’s window.
