persons who are interested in photography work on the i pus are requested by Editor Jean Tobias to attend a short .ng today at 12:45 pjn. in the
attending throng.
According to Chuck Brohammer. Squire president, a large variety of school and fraternity songs will be featured on the program. “Song requests will be honored if turned in to Norm Hawes, sophomore president, or to me. before Wednesday,” stated Brohammer. “If you have the arrangements for the song, please turn them in with the requests.” added Brohammer.
Bids were distributed to fraternity houses last night, and as there are only 300 left to be sold at the Student Union cashier’s window, Brohammer urges those planning to attend to get theirs early to avoid disappointment. They are $3, including the federal tax.
“We are particularly anxious to have the new students attend, so they can get off to an early start in the new social schedule,” comments Hawes.
“At the first Cal game this year,
we who were up north for the game, attended their dance following the SC victory, and they really showed us a good time,” declares Brohammer, “and we should show them we have a fine school spirit and give them the time of their lives.”
Suits, sport coats, and ties will be the accepted dress for men. and date-dresses for the women. There j wiU be no corsages for this affair.
1 This is the first postwar all-U func-j tion of the current term, and according to Brohammer it should j prove to be one of the finest.
On the dance committee are Brohammer, chairman; Gordon Person. Squire member; Pauline Tevis, secretary of the sophomore class; Hawes, and Tom Cosgrove, Squire member.
“The dance promises to be a good chance to see your old friends again, and also to be a swell social affair,” adds Bill Armbruster, ASSC president. “Let’s try to show those Cal students a great time.”
El Rodeo chief urges early picture dates
Troy students should make appointments with the university photographer as soon as possible to insure an early issuance date of the Trojan yearbook, El Rodeo, according to Clarice Thurman, editor of that publication.
“The earlier everyone gets his pictures taken the earlier El Rodeo will be distributed.” Miss
Thurman stated. She emphasized that the deadline for appointments is Dec. 31 and “absolutely no appointments will be made after that date.”
The photography office is located across the street %from Doheny library.
Dress regulations for this year will be as follows:
Women are asked to wear black date dresses, simple hairstyles, and simple jewelry.
Civilian men should wear suits and ties.
Trainees will pose in dress uni-' forms and hats.
In order to make the 1946 yearbook a ‘‘return to prewar standards.” Miss Thurman asserted that help is needed. “Staff positions are still open and we need workers of almost every description,” she said. “We can use an artist to draw sorority and fraternity pins, indexers, typists, office girls, copyreaders. and messengers.
Positions are open on the business staff, particularly for men and women interested in selling advertising.
“The person who is willing to work and keep at it is certainly going to be remembered for an important position whenever vacancies occur,” she said.
Debate squad
* * W 7/-»vL- mrr f miro r
eason
Working towarcT their first debate of the current season at Pomona college the first wgek of next month, SC’s debate squad will hold a preliminary planning conference tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. In 405 Student Union.
All members of last year’s debate squad and all students interested in participating in the current speaking schedule are asked to meet at that time with Dr. Alan Nichols, coach of the varsity debate squad.
Practice will be launched by old members of the squad on this year’s debate subject, "Resolved, that the policy of the United States should be directed toward the establishment of free trade.” Maurice Gould, captain, will lead the discussion by Anita Norcop and Mildred Carman, old members of the team.
Prospective members will be permitted to audition before Dr. Nichols. Students who have interest or practice in original oratory, interpretive reading, extemporaneous speaking, and inpromptu speaking are especially asked to attend by squad officials.
The wanton disregard of no-parking signs was brought to a head during the recent visit to the university of President Rios of Chile when Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid embarrassingly enough could not find a proper space in which to park the cars bringing the distinguished fcarty.
Although declining somewhat, parking violations are still a major thorn in the side of the university according to Buzz Forward, Trojan Knight president, whose organization has been given the distasteful but necessary task of cracking down on offenders.
Students have been given ample warning and new or old should by now be cognizant of the fact that red curbings are functional and not decorative. The following fines should emphasize the point.
A first offense will cost students $1, the second time double that amount, and if when they are completely foolhardy, $5 for the third offensive. These fees must be paid in the office of the dean of men within 43 hours of receipt of ticket.
A .trial before the men’s council awaits those culprits failing to report within the required time.
Red curbings are not the only source of violations. Blocking driveways, obstructing fireplugs, and carelessly slanting cars at other .than a 90-degree angle to the curb are equally offensive.
Funds collected from violators are to be used to set up a Trojan Knight scholarship fusid. While it is a worthy cause this is one time contributions are not solicited. The less collected, the more successful will be the campaign, said Forward. v
In case there is someone who doesn’t yet know, there are four parking lots provided by the university for student parking. They are located behind Bridge hall, east of Von KleinSmid hall, behind the Wheel and Horse and behind the science building.
Declaring this condition a serious problem. Jerry Hoytt, Knight vice-president, warned. "There will be absolutely no let-up in this drive to clear University avenue of illegally parked automobiles.”
Hoytt further reminded that this is not strictly a school problem but is receiving the attention of the Los Angeles police department who have thus far generously allowed the students a chance to do their own housecleaning. But unless the condition clears up immediately students may find themselves also in trouble with the men with the long black sticks.
