Literary fiends seek inspiration for humor mag
Humor hounds haunt the campus feverishly in search of information for future Wampus editions. Poet laureates are on the loose, quoting blank verse freely in hopes that some eager talent scout for the campus publication will hear their Inspirations.
Heed the call of the news fiends and humor your enthusiastic friends by quoting the literary efforts they have made to assistant editor Donna Knox, who is frantically planning to strangle herself because of lack of copy.
Everyone can indulge his secret yen for publicity by subtlely turning in pictures of special events in which he himself has participated to the editorial offices of the Wampus, 404 Student Union. For the sake of those few modest souls, pictures may even be slipped under the door anonymously.

Assistantships offered to vets
Professional experience and financial assistance are two advantages of the half-time assistantships offered to veterans desiring to become candidates for a master of science degree in public administration.
Sponsored by the School of Public Administration, under Dean Emery E Olson, this program is to enable students to receive directed work experience in governmental units in the Los Angeles area while taking 10 hours of graduate work.
Jobs in such fields as public personnel admnistration, financial adminlstraton, governmental research, and administrative planning will be open to the selected veterans, stated Dean Olson.
“Welcome to any veteran will be the salaries for these positions which will range from $60 to $90 a* month,” he added.
Veterans interested in this work I who are graduates in public ad- j ministration should apply at Dean Olson’s office, 252 Administration.
“Students should come in and state what type of work they are interested in, for we have new openings every day,” Dean Olson said. Positions with the Los Angeles board of directors and the Pasadena and Glendale civil service commissions are examples of available openings.
Civil service examinations are required for some of the positions, and veterans will receive five to ten points preference over other applicants in these.
Non-veterans interested in the half-time assistantships should also see Dean Olson, for similar opportunities are available for them.
Keysters form posse to hunt missing dancers
As the result of an oversight on the part of the Long Beach department of streets and highways, Blue Keysters were forced to organize several searching parties early yesterday morning which were dispatched post haste, pronto, and on the double to the western outskirts of the beach city in an effort to locate several would-be Valentine bailers who got all balled-up trying to find the Lakewood Country club, rumored to have been the site of the Blue Key-sponsored Valentine ball.
The debacle of the disappearing dancers was percipitated by the fact that, in laying out the city of Long Beach, city planners failed to take into account the fact that at some future date Blue Key would be holding a dance in the confines of said municipality.
In a word, the traffic artery officially dubbed Carson street does not, as many dancers had been led to expect, run straight as an arrow from Figueroa to the Lakewood Country club.
In fact the redoutable Carson transforms itself, in the vicinity of San Pedro street, Into a lane, and a block further on, into a cowpath. Beyond that, even the cows haven't ventured.

It is a selfish point of view, but I don’t think the audiences, which have been knd enough to come hear me. have suffered from this fact.”

D.T. staff to climax work with banquet
Starving journalists, minus their typewriters, will have their first square-meal in months next Friday night when the Daily Trojan staff takes over Scully’s restaurant for the regular journalism banquet.
After signing the list on the bulletin board outside of the city room, fourth floor Student Union, and grudgingly handing over $2.50 to Bobby Jo Scott, each victim will be entitled to a dinner of seafood cocktail, green salad, swiss steak, ice cream, and coffee.
“Dinner will begin at 7:30 or 8 p.m.,” decreed Lois Stephenson, coordinator, “but it’s traditional to get there about 7. Gives you a chance to get acclimated.”
Those wishing to go have been urged to make their reservations as soon as possible There will be room for 60 people, but this number can, in case of necessity, be extended to 100

Knights warn lane blockers
“Motorists who continue to block the lanes and entrances of the university’s parking lots will be issued tickets by the Trojan Knights,” warned Jerry Hoytt, chairman of the parking drive and vice-president of the men’s service honorary.
A campaign to prevent motorists from parking on University avenue has been under way for many weeks. Recently the parking-lot situation has become so serious that the Knights are now concentrating on this phase of the traffic problem.
Hoytt expressed some satisfaction with the drive’s progress thus far, but stated that there is still much to be desired. Several tickets were given out yesterday, and offenders will continue to be tagged until the situation has cleared up completely.
Students are reminded by the Knights that, as the university enlarges, it will become increasingly necessary for motorists to park farther away. “Four or five blocks is a short distance compared to wjiat students at most universities are forced to walk,’’ Hoytt pointed out.
The money collected in fines will be turned over to the university scholarship committee to be used in September by some SC student.

Ghosts of Spirit’ will walk at Troy
“Elementals” and “poltergeists” will perhaps swarm over Troy on the opening of “Blithe Spirit” at SC drama department’s latest production, Thursday at 8:30 p.m.
This farce of the supernatural by Noel Coward stars Barbara Willcox, Janet Lees, and Ray Scott, while Barbara Lynde, Shirleymae Spaulding, Joan Martin
and Prank George are in the supporting cast.
“Elementals” and “poltergeists” are inhabitants of the supernatural world, and there is a slight chance that some of them will be released during one of Madame Arcati’s seances during the performance.
Madame Arcati is a famous medium who performs her first seance for the purpose of furnishing novelist Charles Condomine with material for his mystery book. The importance of the mystery novel, however, is submerged by the results of this seance.
Elvira, tlie ghost of Charles’ first wife, floats in from the other world to make things rather complicated in the Condomine household. She is a spirit of the poltergeist type.
In an attempt to take Charles back to the other world, Elvira succeeds only in taking Ruth, his present wife.
With the advent of Ruth’s spirit, Charles is harrassed no end by the two haunts, but Madame Arcati and her spiritual apparatus are of no avail in dispelling them.
If Trojans are curious as to the outcome of this unusual situation and meaning of supernatural terminology, they need only be at Bovard in time for the opening curtain, next Thursday.

Diamonds pave way to Oxford
A Boer farmer stubbed his toe on a chunk of crystalized carbon in 1867. As a result 32 young Americans, chosen for qualities of leadership, will matriculate at Oxford university in October, 1947, for a three-year course of study.
Any male SC student who is ambitious to become famous — and whose cumulative grade average is 2.5—is eligible to compete for the scholarships awarded to American college students for the first time since the outbreak of World War II by the fund left by the British empire builder, Cecil Rhodes.
Rhodes arrived in South Africa in 1870, about the time somebody discovered that the chunk of carbon, which the Boer farmer had given his baby daughter to play with, was a diamond. The young Englishman made his fortune in helping to exploit the Kimberly diamond fields, richest in the world.
Rhodes also played an important role in creating the nation now known as the Union of South Africa, and almost single handed added to the British empire two colonies which bear his name: Rhodesia and Northern Rhodesia.
When he died he left his fortune to the English-speaking world as a public trust. His home at Cape Town was left as the “white house” for the prime minister of South Africa, now occupied by
Nations. His estate in England Jan Smuts, co-founder with Woodrow Wilson of the League of was left to his family with a safeguard against any “loafer” inheriting it. In Rhodesia his vast estates were left in trust for the settlers, including provisions for a university.
Rhodes is best known throughout the world, however, for his fund which established scholarships at Oxford for worthy and ambitious students who “esteem the performance of public duty as his highest aim.” All English speaking nations benefit by the fund, 32 scholarships I being assigned annually to the United States. World War II, how-i ever, temporarily suspended the I awards.
Rhodes scholarships have often been attacked by anti-British newspaper publishers in Chicago and elsewhere as merely a clever scheme to finance pro-British, and hence anti-American, propaganda in the United States under the guise of an educational bequest. Such charges, however, have found little support in responsible circles.
Former Trojan students who studied at Oxford under the Rhodes bequest are John Golay, editor of the Daily Trojan, 1937-38, who later assisted Sir William Beveridge in preparing the now famous “Beveridge Plan," and Gerald L. Brown,
now an attorney in South Dakota.
Dr. Frank Baxter, who received his Ph. D. from Oxford’s ancient rival, Cambridge, is chairman of the Rhodes scholarship committee at SC. He asks that candidates for the scholarship communicate with him at his office, 315 Bridge hall, for additional information.
“It was the carefully considered idea of Cecil Rhodes that the men who were awarded these scholarships should be men who had already shown promise of leadership,” Dr. Baxter stated Friday.
“He hoped that the scholarships would constitute a link between England and the rest of the English speaking world and help towards better international understanding.
“The intention was not primarily to make teachers and scholars, but to educate men who would enter a’.l phases of public life: politics, statesmanship, the press, the church, the learned professions, and business, as well as teaching. Because of this, the scholarships are not based on grades alone,” Dr. Baxter emphasized.
According to the application the contenders must sign, the most important requirement for a scholarship is “some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, character or personality, or in any combination of these."

Alan Grahm and Cloyce Bump led John Schoenherr, Don Parrish, Irving Cunsby, and Steve Consldine through two hit showings of George Kaufman’s comedy, “If Men Played Cards As Women Do.” Exaggerating and stressing woman’s traits with a male twist, the quartet of performers claimed howls of laughter from their audience.
It was the chiller, “Monkey's J Paw,” which stole the show, however. Paced by Anthony Palma and Bill Adrian as sergeant-major, Morris, the play moved rapidly to a climax. Lawrence Richard, young Herbert, sceptical of the power the sergeant-major attributes to the paw, j becomes its victim when his father | wishes — against the shouted warn- Dr. Louis H.

The audience shares the sobbing grief of Mrs. White, Judy Socher, at the news Sampson, Ted Lundigan, brings in th? morning. Herbert is dead, torn beyond recognition by the machinery he forgot to watch while telling the story of the paw to his fellow workers.
“Two hundred pounds!” screams the grief stricken Mr. White as Sampson hands him the money given in recognition of Herbert’s faithfulness.
Terror is pitched to its highest key when Mr. White’s wish seems about to be fulfilled — Herbert is returning to life. Fearful of what they might see, Mr. White makes his third wish and the convincing knocks at the bolted door cease.
