Found
Show
Producing an all-U varsity show is not all greasepaint and leggy dancing girls, it is Iso an endless series of red-tape, clerical detiils, and other assorted headaches, according Johnny Langdon, producer of “No Love Atoll.”
Langdon and his production assistants, Mort Diener and Dorothy Eisenberg, have been restling with the many knotty problems involved in getting the show ready for public
-♦presentation ever since the begin-
ning of the semester.
“It was one thing and then another,” Langdon stud yesterday.
“First we had to select directors, musicians, dancers, singers, public relations people, set designers, stage crewmen, plus dozens of other peo-

SCRIPT CHOSEN
Choosing the script for the show was the biggest chore Langdon faced after he was appointed producer by a faculty committee consisting of Dr. Max T. Krone. Arnold Eddy, Dean Helen Hall Moreland, Dean Neil D. Warren, Prof. William deMille, and Prof. James H. Butler.
Langdon. a Trojan Knight and member of PiKA, declared that the toughest problem facing the production staff has been that of coordination. He pointed out that the various people in the cast and in the directorial and technical staffs represent nearly every school and college in the university and that their class schedules, as a result, seldom coincide.
MEETING ARRANGED “It is a major job.” he said, “to arrange a suitable time and place of meeting for everyone who is working on the show. After all, there are about 250 of them.’’ Production Assistant Mort Diener, a fine arts major, has served as a script writer for radio station KUSC and at present is working on three comedy scripts for presentation in the near future.
ASSISTANT ANGUISHED Dorothy Eisenberg. Langdon’s other assistant, has what the producer calls “a mental anguish job.” She not only helps solve the major production problems of “No Love” but also handles the show’s voluminous clerical work. Miss Eisenberg, a psychology major who claims San Diego as her home town, danced in last year’s varsity show and appears in “No Love” as a member of the corps de ballet.
Langdon also hands a production staff credit line to Sonya Chenkin and Bayla Shimon.
Grant Will Tell Club of Africa
Dr. Locke Will Give Race Talk
Migration of a different group into an area increases the racial tension.
This is one of the facts to be explained in a lecture on “Racial Tensions” in America” by Dr Harvey J. Locke, professor of sociology, tomorrow afternoon at 3:15 in the art and lecture room of the University library.
The sociologist will discuss the speed of migration of Negroes into northern cities. He is also to point out that Detroit’s Negro population increased 54 per cent from 1940 to 1944. During the same period the Negro population jumped from
149.000	to 230,000.
San Francisco’s Negro population
increased 225 per cent, rising from
20.000	in 1940 to 65,000 in 1944. Los Angeles had a population of
75.000	Negroes in 1940 and in 1946 the population had increased to
133.000	or by 77 per cent. Emphasizing the Detroit riot, Dr.
Locke will point out that southern whites migrating to northern cities have rigid views on the Negro-white question.
Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco might anticipate racial tension, added Dr. Locke, and formulate plans to control or alleviate it.
Dr. Adele L. Grant is what is known as a “botanical taxonomist.”
This was enough for the Botany club, which goes in for such things, and the group has invited her to speak today at its meeting in 269 Science building at 4 p.m.
Despite the fact that she teaches a course in birds of California in University College, Dr. Grant has announced she will discuss her experiences in Africa and let the birds of California shift for themselves temporarily. All persons interested in her African experiences are invited to attend by the group.
The meeting will also take up the proposed field trip to the US soil salinity laboratory at Riverside.

Library Receptacle Helps Book Drive
Designed to receive the increasing flow of donations by Trojans to the YMCA-sponsored book drive, a decorative receptacle has been set up in the university library.
Located at the entrance to the main floor of the library, the book bin suggestively confronts students entering the main doors. It is symbolically*--—	~
adorned to represent the bonds between the University of the Philippines, beneficiary of all the books collected, and SC.
FLAGS DISPLAYED
Flanked by the flags of the United States and the Philippine Republic, a black marble table draped in white linen and holding a vase of Easter lilies forms the background of the display. A small card at the side of the table bears a message denoting the purpose of the drive, which is to furnish a Trojan library with books in the war-ravaged university at Manila.
The card reads “Give a Book in Memory of a Buddy.” The proposed library will be a memorial to the former Trojans who died in the Philippine battle for liberation.
Dave Evans, chairman of the drive, said the response of students since the first book bin was set up Monday has been more than satisfactory.
“We are especially gratified to find so many new books among the contributions." he commended.
Anyone having books at home in such quantities as to make it inconvenient to bring them to school
\
may have them picked up by calling at the YMCA office just off the student lounge between 2 and 4 in th afternoon, according to the chairman. Transportation will be provided.
“If a student or faculty member wishes to dedicate his contribution to a certain person, he may do so by contacting members of the executive committee in the YMCA office,” Evans said.
BINS SET UP
Another special book bin will be set up by the executive committee today near the trophy window at the side entrance of the Student Union. In the window, action photographs of famous Trojan athletes who died in the liberation campaign will be displayed.
Book bins around the campus are located in the lobbies of the engineering and law buildings, entrances to the engineering building and the Student Union cafeteria, and in the hallway of Old College. All men and women residence halls and sorority and fraternity houses also have facilities for receiving donations.

Learn or Die, Says Wegener
“We must in one generation, through the use of every conceivable educational device, advance the knowledge of man to cope with problems of atomic energy or perish in the failure to heed the dangers or our own creation.’’
This paragraph evaluates the essence of Professor Frank C. Wegener’s lecture and discussion on “Educational Implications of Atomic Energy” yesterday at 4:15 in Bowne hall.
An assistant professor of education at SC, the educator explained the dual purpose of education and philosophy “working hand in hand toward an atomic utopia.” He emphasized that a utopian world is an imaginary world, but with these principles in mind people are provided with an incentive for working toward solving the problems of atomic energy.
Discussing the utopian society, he stated that conquest of nature has eliminated the problems of man. people have overcome their fears and exist in a world which requires only a minimum of work, and education is necessary only to uphold the knowledge which its citizens possess.
