Using Spanish in discussing current topics and in conversing, as they do at our Spanish fiestas, is undoubtedly one of the best ways to learn the language.”

Current facilities of the outpatient medical and dental services being performed here or those of the three veterans hospitals in the area are not expected to be affected by the reductions.
Staff Cut
Total employment in the Los Angeles regional office must be reduced to 2596 by the Aug. 1 deadline. A peak employment of 2978 was reached in May.

According to the contact office on campus, SC was relatively alone in enjoying the privilege of being able to purchase activity books on the GI bill. Few other universities in the country granted the right to veteran students.

Owner of stolen book located!
The Summer News went to the rescue of the Police department Monday when detectives had failed to locate the owner of a book as-sertedly stolen by Garrison F. Harris last week.

Detective Jack Flannery, of the University sub-station, said that the evidence on Harris was insufficient to w air ant prosecution on grand theft, merchandise.
The evidence was the testimony of two witnesses, Dorothy Glane and Howard Baishan, summer session students. Mrs. Glane said she saw Harris remove a book from an
automobile after he had tried the door handles of several other cars before finding one open.
Baishan, who followed Harris from the Science parking lot to the Student Union, said he saw Harris remove another book from ihe cafeteria bookrack before going upstairs to the Daily Trojan offices.

rack where Harris was seen by Baishan taking a book last week.
Harris, who had been a frequent visitor to the Daily Trojan offices for the last six months, gave his occupation as salesman and former war worker at Lockheed At’craft corporation.

The News also urges every student to take extra precautions and not leave books where they cannot be constantly watched by the owner.
