Real emphasised the new university policy of selling these bids and all ensuing all-U bids through the ticket office in the Student Union. It has been found that this expedites sales.

BUY TICKETS
"The idea, of course, is to buy a ticket and board a dapper taxi for a tour around the campus. But as in past years, the tickets will no doubt be utilized for more practical purpose^ such as a ride to class,” said Betty Lou Miller. She attended a luncheon given by SC alums at the Wilshire Country club last Wednesday, where arrangements for the homecoming activities were made.
According to Miss Miller arrangements are being made for the taxis to participate in the victory parade to be held Friday night. All Taxi day proceeds will go to the Y building fund.

Raymond Johnson, supervising architect of tne university, revealed Wednesday.
The two structures will be of the same type as the 20 structures recently erecteo on campus and now in use as laboratories, classrooms, and otfices.
Mr. Johnson also said the two large buildings that have been erected adjacent to the Foyer of Town and Gown and the Dental building are near completion and will be used for large classes.
Another large building from the former Santa Ana army air base is to be erected on 35th street between Hoover street and McClintock avenue to be used as a warehouse by tlie operations and maintenance department. It will be built on the site of a number of outdoor basketball courts.
TRACE DEVELOPMENT
Dr. Adamson will trace the development of nuclear chemistry and will discuss the use of cyclotrons and other instruments used by nuclear scientists.
He will emphasize the use of tracers, radio-active elements, and their application to agriculture, industry, and medicine. Dr. Adamson will also discuss radiation and its effect on individuals exposed to atomic energy.
A DIFFERENCE
Distinguishing between atomic energy and nuclear chemistry, the chemist said that atomic energy deals with only a part of the whole field of nuclear science and atomic energy’ deals with the whole of the field. Nuclear chemistry is concerned with the reaction of nuclei, and atomic energy applies itself to uranium.
