Posters announcing the dance are being prepared by the art committee. under the supervision of Al Weis, and will soon be posted around the campus.

Spring Fantasy is the fourth all-U dance of the current school year and follows the successful Winter Carnival held at the Palladium in February. , Publicity for the dance was withheld until this week so as not to interfere with the Independent Peasant festival. Hillel Prepares Sarong-Clad Girls New Quarters Do No Love' Hula Presenting a new retreat for all SC students, Hillel foundation will hold an informal open house at their new quarters, 1029 West 36th street, at 1:30 today. The strain on students' eyes produced by overexposure to ivy-covered buildings and ivy-covered professors is promised relief by the atmosphere of the newly decorated house. Open house festivities are scheduled from 1:30 to 5 this afternoon, and tonight from 7 to 10:30. Dancing and refreshments are on the agenda. Space is available in the house for all activities. The two-story structure houses a library, a reading room, and two committee rooms, in addition to the comfortable main lounge. Tlie lounge, furnished in a wine and sky-blue motif, will soon boast of a remote-control attachment to the juke-box in the house. A special room set up for classical record playing is in the development stage. Monroe Weinberg. Hillel president, announced that beginning today the house will be open from 10 to 5 p. m. each day. University avenue became a circus midway for a few minutes yesterday, complete with monkeys, dancing girls, Hawaiian singers, and a sideshow barker. The public became aware that something was up when the barker, Hal Lowe, appeared in front of Bovard shortly before 1 p.m., attired in a striped+ blazer and sailor straw hat. bellow- Today s Headlines by United Press JRA Cards Coed lage Tournament U‘ First round games in the URA omen’s basketball tournament mere announced yesterday by Ar-ith Frost, tourney chairman.

Apr. 8—The Arab higher committee of Palestine virtually killed hope for a UN truce in the Holy Land today. Jamal El Husseini, representing Palestine’s Arabs in private truce negotiations here, told reporters that* he had flatly refused to negotiate with the Jewish agency for Palestine. Army Rians Underground Blasts WASHINGTON, Apr. 8—The army today revealed plans for setting off a series of tremendous explosions to find out how far underground men must go to find safety from atomic bombing. The tests will begin at Dugway Proving Grounds, near Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 1. No atomic bombs will be used. Engineers will fire TNT charges. Dewey Calls for US of Europe LINCOLN, Neb., Apr. 8—Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tonight called for an American foreign policy which will speed formation of a United States of Europe as a guarantee to future world peace. Pressing his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination in Nebraska's “free-for-all” primary, Dewev said the world needs a “third, great peaceful power” in addition to America and Communist Russia if new wars are to be averted. ing through a megaphone and brandishing a cane. At about the same time, four sarong-clad girls dashed onto the scene, accompanied by Dancer Phlip Nasta. The other dancers were identified as Mary May Taylor, Violet Gale, Mildred van Gessel. Martha Strout, Alberta Wil-kenson; and Bill Keola. BARKER BARKS Barker Lowe mounted a platform which had been erected next to a palm-leaf hut in front of University library, and there proceeded to harangue the fast-gathering crowd with shouts of “step right up, ladeez and gentlemun!” and other cries peculiar to the carnival fraternity. * The dancing girls and Nasta squirmed onto the stage, where they proceeded to go through their sinuous paces as Dan Kubby, tomtom expert, beat out sensuous Polynesian rhythms on his jungle drums. After Miss Stout had been called back for three or four encores, partly for the benefit of the ogling, whistling males in the audience and partly for the three photographers who represented Look magazine, the Daily Trojan, and—hold everything —the all-U varsity show, “No Love Atoll.” PLUGS SHOW The show was plugged generously by Lowe during the course of his spiel, and by way of a climax, Lowe urged his hearers to “follow the wiggling dancers to yon palm-covered shack, and buy your tickets to the varsity show.” Lowe pointed out repeatedly that tickets are selling for 75 cents, $1, and $1.25 and that all seats are reserved. Yesterday’s sideshow stunt was another in a long series of publicity gags, advertising “No Love.” which have kept students alternately gasping, learing, laughing, and howling for Dave Wolper’s scalp. Wolper is the young man who has been responsible for the stunts, aided and abetted in his publicity-mad antics by Neal Blumenthal, Frances Gantz, Deidre Broughton, and, until yesterday, Jack Lindquist. Miss Broughton, who represents the YWCA, the organization that will reap the proceeds from the show for its building fund, appeared at yesterday’s performance in the company of two small, nervous monkeys, who appeared to be taking no interest whatever in what was going on about them—except, possibly, Miss Broughton. Coeds to Caper In Variety Skits “Coed Capers,” women's variety show tonight at 7 in Bovard, followed with a dance by Inter-Residence council, concludes “It’s a Woman’s Whirl” activities today. Events of the week have included a picnic, a hat designing contest, a fashion show, and vocational talks, all for women.

Colleges Plzri ^asart Rodeo Austria Consul To Address IR Club Breakfast Major speaker for the International Relations club breakfast at the Hollywood Knickerbocker hotel Sunday is Dr. Friederich Wallar, Austrian consul general in Lo6 Angeles. Dr. Wallar pointed out that the office he heads is the first general consulate established in the western United States since the imperial Austrian consulate in San Francisco was closed at the beginning of World War I. “This is an indication,” said Dr. Wallar, “of the growing importance of Los Angeles to world trade.” TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY The veteran diplomat is not a newcomer to Los Angeles, and his experience in the foreign service of his country has been widespread. After receiving his training at leading schools in Vienna he started his lengthy diplomatic service which has taken him to Africa. Latin America, the Far East, and the United States. He served as consul in Los Angeles before World War II, and received an honorary doctorate of foreign service from SC in 1930. Dr. Wallar is a close friend of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Probably the most outstanding occurrence of his tour of duty in Los Angeles was the visit of the Austrian foreign minister and the Austrian ambassador during which both men received honorary degrees from SC. WANTS FRIENDSHIP Uppermost in the consul’s mind is the desire to strengthen international friendship and to rekindle the friendly feeling that most Americans had toward the Austrian people before the war. M. Michele Varnous. French vice consul, who has served in Los Angeles for two years, will also attend the breakfast. M. Varnous was an underground worker with the United States forces during the war and has been in the French diplomatic service since 1944. The meeting is open to the public. Tickets at $2 may be obtained in the IR office in the Administration building. Breakfast will start in the Lido room at 9:30.

Rocky mountain, and Southwestern colleges are invited to compete in this second annual rodeo of its kind to be held. Wildman said.

Fagg Jr. will preside over the ceremonies during which the 110-foot steel laboratory ship will be launched.

Colleges Plzri ^asart Rodeo Austria Consul To Address IR Club Breakfast Major speaker for the International Relations club breakfast at the Hollywood Knickerbocker hotel Sunday is Dr. Friederich Wallar, Austrian consul general in Lo6 Angeles. Dr. Wallar pointed out that the office he heads is the first general consulate established in the western United States since the imperial Austrian consulate in San Francisco was closed at the beginning of World War I. “This is an indication,” said Dr. Wallar, “of the growing importance of Los Angeles to world trade.” TRAVELED EXTENSIVELY The veteran diplomat is not a newcomer to Los Angeles, and his experience in the foreign service of his country has been widespread. After receiving his training at leading schools in Vienna he started his lengthy diplomatic service which has taken him to Africa. Latin America, the Far East, and the United States. He served as consul in Los Angeles before World War II, and received an honorary doctorate of foreign service from SC in 1930. Dr. Wallar is a close friend of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Probably the most outstanding occurrence of his tour of duty in Los Angeles was the visit of the Austrian foreign minister and the Austrian ambassador during which both men received honorary degrees from SC.
