Wildman Tells Fall Program

Reiterating his stand taken in the recent general elections, Paul Wildman, newly elected ASSC president, yesterday outlined his progrrjn for student body government during the coming year, saying he would not "under any cir cumstances offer a million and one things that can t be done.” but rather he would give the ASSC “good, decent student government.” Foremost on Wildman’s list of things to be done is the revival of school spirit. Already accomplished to aid in this drive is the attainment, through the efforts of Guy

“The growth of school spirit ls a long-range program," Wildman said. “It must be done through school leaders, especially class officers and their councils. If these are lax. the entire class is lax.”
Wildman plans to implement the program with a comprehensive orientation series under the direction of John Davis, past president of Squires. It is planned to include transfer students as well as freshman.
“New students must be made to appreciate what the university can offer them and what they can offer the university.” Wildman said.

Anthropologist Joins Scientific Expedition To Pacific Islands
Taking part in the larges, cooperative research enterprise in the history of anthropology, Dr. Joseph E. Weckler, head of the anthropology department, will leave next month for the south Pacific
with scientists from 22 institutions.
The project, sponsored by tlie Pacific Science board of the National Research council, will consist of a study of social, political, religious, and economic life of the natives in the Micronesian islands. The island group includes Guam, Saipan, the Marshalls, Carolines, Palau, and Yap.
SENIOR ETHNOLOGIST A total of 44 anthropologists will be stationed on the various islands, each conducting his own research. Dr. Weckler will occupy the position of a senior ethnologist on Ponape island, the largest in the Micronesian group. The island is mountainous, with tropical forests and several rivers.
“The area m^y hold the keys to important problems concerning the history of the native population of the whole Pacific area,” Dr. Week ler said while discussing the project. UNKNOWN AREA He stated that the area to be covered is almost unknown anthropologically, because little has been done in that field since the Japanese tock over the islands after the first World War.
At the present, tlie navy is ad ministering the island group under terms of a United Nations trustee ship.
‘ The navy has been extremely cooperative." Dr. Weckler said. “They furnish all the transportation, field equipment, and other facilities. The project is financed jointly by the navy, the Viking fund, and the cooperating institutions.*'
HAWAIIAN MEETING The group of scientists will meet in Hawaii during the latter part of June and depart for the south Pacific July 6. Dr. Weckler expects to be gone for about seven months and hopes to return to SC by January.
During his absence, the anthropology department will be taken over by Prof. Fay-Cooper Cole, who recently’retired as head of the department of anthropology at the University of Chicago. He has written many books, his latest entitled “Peoples of Malaysia,” on which he will teach a course here.

Takes Vacation In New DT
A great man once said that all
good things have to come to an end. And so it is with the Daily Trojan today.
There will be no more reading the DT during dull classes and no more waiting for the DT in front of the Student Union just before thc 8 o’clock classes. In accordance with Stop week, the Daily Trojan ceases publication with today’s issue until the fall.
Speaking for the average student we may say that this semester the DT has served not only as a means of bringing campus activities to Trojans, but also as an outlet of student opinion, humor, and current national and international problems.
Speaking for the staff of the Daily Trojan, Dick Eshleman. editor for the next term, promises that “we will not let down on our past activities, and we will strive experimentally to increase coverage.” See you in the fall.

Compositions by Mozart, Handel, Bach, and Brahms will contrast with the modern English and French pieces that are to be included in the combined recitals of La Verne Dayton and Margaret Christman being presented tonight in Hancock auditorium.
One number to be included in the combined recital is Schubert's “Shepherd on the Rock” which is being presented for the first time at SC. Assisting Miss Dayton is Merrit Buxbaum. clarinet; and Barbara Putnam and Matt Doran, flute.
A pupil of Mme. Ehlers vocal interpretation class and studying with Prof. Ingolf Dail's class in opera repertoire. Margaret Christman appeared as soloist with the university chorus last winter and in their spring program of “St. Matthew's Passion.”
In addition to her classes as special student, Miss Christman serves as soloist with the women’s symphony at Long Beach and with the First Methodist church of that city.
Beginning at 8:30. the program will be broadcast over KUSC.
Two new appointments were announv ; next fall’s Daily Trojan staff. Astrid Carlsoyesterday for lected to take over Shirley Barden’s post as was been se-and Forest Foster will follow Bob Perkins as t*!s editor, manager of the paper.
Enrolling at SC in the winter of 1944 as a journalism major, Miss Carlson has worked her way up thuogh the various steps of reporter copyreader, and desk editor. A member of Key and Scroll, Amazons, and captain in AWS freshmen orientation, she is vice-president of Alpha Omicron Pi and was recently awarded a ring by her sorority for being the outstanding junior in that house.
A clue as to how she finds time to keep so many irons in the fire might come from the fact that she unflinchingly admits not knowing how to knit. Her ambition is to write for the women’s section of magazines after being graduated next June.
Foster is a senior advertising major and a member of Alpha Delta Sigma, advertising fraternity. He has worked with Perkins in the business office for the past year. Both men are members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Young Journalists Win Scholarships
The two winners of the annual journalism contest for high school students were announced yesterday by the School of Journalism. Tht winners are entitled to free tuition for one year of undergraduate work at SC with possible renewal if the winner's scholastic record is satisfactory during the year.
The two winners. Evonne Berry. Kearney High school in San Diego, and James E. Deger, of Huntington Park High school, received their scholarships for composing the two best 500-word features explaining why they desire the scholarships.
Miss Berry. 18. was editor-in-chief, reporter, and feature writer and
row night.
The most unique play of the group is Foster Fita-Simons’ “Four on a Heath,” directed by Norman Linn. The action takes place by an English roadside in the early 1600s. The opening curtain reveals three men hanging from a tree.
Th# three men who were caught in a robbery and hung for their crime are dead, and their only action is the turning of their heads. Their dialogue oonsists of concern over the lad whom they raised from a foundling.
FIRST SHOWING
A novelty, the play depends on voice inflections to sustain mood. Thunder and lightning will be used on Touchstone stage for the first time and may prove to be one of the most effective factors in the play.
“The Still Alarm ’ by George Kaufman provides a definite contrast since it is a satire. Composed of an all male cast, the play is directed by Nancy Sheldon.
The plot is based on a fire which everyone takes as calmlv as an afternoon tea. Originality in scenery is obtained by using a huge indow to cover the front of the Age. The audience views the show

Wampus Dooms Semester Glooms
Hot ofi’ the presses, the semester’s last issue of the Wampus is being sold on campus this morning as a ray of sunshine in an otherwise drab and uneventful Stop week. Touted yesterday as “the cleanest issue ever.” the magazine lias even been accepted in Boston.
“As a matter of fact,” said Willie the Wampus bird, “the Issue is so clean that we got a sharp note from the administration saying that if we can’t get out a more risque issue next September tive magazine may not be allowed on campus.”
Some of the well-censored and purified items appearing in this good book are a verbatim transcript of a Stanford hot-doz’* telephone conversation with his chick, a fantasy about Rabbits bv Jim Dowis, and of course the ever sweet and complimentary itches ’n’ Razzes. The jokes are zua~an-teed to be free of all impurities.
