Cultural Scholarships Established by China
Chinese cultural scholarships have been established at SC by the national government of China “to enable promising students to study the Chinese language and culture,” the department of Asiatic studies disclosed yesterday.
Providing an annual stipend of $750 to $1500, these scholarships have been established ln nine**-
US universities by China’s ministry
of education. Graduate and undergraduate students may apply for the scholarships.
Administration of the scholarships will be determined by the universities receiving the funds and not by the Chinese government.
“The Chinese government has attached no strings whatsoever to the awarding- and the use of the scholarships,” said Dr. Theodore H. Chen, professor of education and Asiatic studies. “Any student who has had some background in the study of the Chinese language and culture and can produce evidence of competency in such study may apply for the scholarship.”
Students receiving the scholarships are free to pursue a program which is “very broad and liberal in scope,’’ declared Dr. Chen. Students are under no obligation to the Chinese government, but they must observe the academic regulations established at the universities they attend.
“The Chinese cultural scholarships are an expression of a desire of the Chinese government to strengthen the cultural ties between China and the United States,” said Dr. Chen. “They were established in recognition of the growing interest in this country for a better understanding of China and its culture.”
New Book to List Honorary Croups
To enable students to know more about the honorary organizations on campus, a book will be published next fall containing facts about each of the honorary’ societies in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.
This book is designed to acquaint students with eligibility requirements of these groups and will list the purposes and requirements of each of the organizations.
Editor of the honorary book is Carol Kingsbaker, and working with her on the publication are Mary Ellen Ryan, Syd Handy, Lynn Gray, Don Henderson, and Freyda Wey-
Cal to Donate Shell for SC Crew Members
Traditional rivalry between SC and Cal has been overlooked for the time being, at least so far as the Trojan crew is concerned. Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, faculty adviser to the SC crew association, has received word from Ky Ebright, Bear crew coach, that Cal is donating a shell to Trojan oarsmen.
Boyd Case, publicity agent for the crew association, said yesterday that acquisition of the shell “will be a big factor in determining whether the crew will continue at SC, becoming, we hope, a regular varsity sport on this campus.”
WILL BE BROUGHT
According to word from Coach Ebright, the shell will be brought dowrn w’hen the Bear football team comes to Los Angeles to play SC next fall.
The SC crew was formed early this semester after two Trojans contacted Coach Bob Hillen of the UCLA crew and enlisted his aid in organizing a Trojan crew. Julian Wolfe, an SC law student, who doubles as jayvee crew coach on the Westwood campus, took over coaching duties here and built up the green Trojan squad so that they were able to beat both the varsity and jayvee crews from UCLA.
COSTS HEAVY
Case pointed out that Cal’s generosity must not be taken lightly, as a regular racing shell costs about $2000. and it will be some time before the Trojan crew will be in a position to purchase a new one.
So far, the SC crew has shown up well in speed trials, doing the 2000 meter course in 6 minutes and 25 seconds, “a very good time-average for a green crew,” according to Case.
The oarsmen will undergo a workout period in the fall, preparatory to the intercollegiate racing season next spring.
El Rod Honors 'Champ Maker/ Due Thursday
El Rodeo for 1948 is practically here.
Morey Thomas, editor of this year’s edition, announced yesterday that the yearbook will be ready for distribution Thursday at 10 a.m. in the central receiving warehouse, 925 West 35th street. To get the book, students must present activity book coupon No. 40 ATTACHED to the activity book.
According to Thomas, the new El Rodeo, which has been dedicated to Coach Dean Cromwell, is “packed full of pictures.’’ New features in the annual are eight pages of campus life sketches and a special Helen of Troy section.
Commenting on the yearbook, the editor said, “I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to everyone who has had a hand in publishing the ’48 El Rodeo. I hope it will be considered representative of the campus year.”
Assisting Thomas this year were Pete Clower and Pat Wright, associate editors; Jack Shaffer and Marty Litvin, assistant editors; Virgil Lubberden, copy editor; Paul Hinchcliffe, art editor; and Joe Mohl, business manager.

Wampus to Expose Gay Deceit ★ ★ ★ ★ Poll to Reveal Frauds
“How sure are you, Trojans, oi ie truth*
“How confident are you of spot ig a fraud when you see it? “You re wrong, fellow, because a bunch of sweet, innocent little blueeyed coeds have had you coming and going for a long time now— and you haven't even known it. They’ve put up a good front for you. but you can’t reUlv trust it.” This is the introduction to the Wampus Report, Wampus magazine's startling expose of how SC women have been gaily deceiving their boy friends and even one another for years now without being detected.
In an attempt to bring to light the hidden false-front movement which is daily gaining momentum. Wampus went to great expense having questionnaires printed and employed capable pollsters to investigate and report on the subject.
When the survey had been complete and all the data had been
I collected. Wampus asked the emi-| nent Dr. Liebeskind C. Kinsey, as-1 sistant dean of women at Tehacha-pi State college, to compile the results into a comprehensive treatise. The Wampus Report is the result.
“The results were amazing.” leered Lovewell Anderson, sex editor of the magazine. "There will undoubtedly be a number of disillusioned males with broken hearts and red-faced females with deflated —er—egos around campus after the Wampus comes out Thursday, but with an issue as pointed as this, we can’t let sentimentality or personal feeling enter into it.”
Lovewell added that one sorority had tried to bribe the editors not to print the report, but in spite of a very attractive offer they were refused. He said that an attempt may be made to buy up ail copies of the magazine as soon as they , hit the street, and warned prospec-j tive buyers to come early with their i quarters.
