In Clef n Caper, we have a ready-trained group of show people who can develop the groundwork of our new production with a minimum of delay and confusion.” TROPICAL MOTIF The varsity show, slated to be staged sometime in April, has a “south sea island'’ motif and will be a full-dress musical comedy, providing ample opportunity for the display of a wide range of amateur theatrical talent.
Although a name for the show has not yet been definitely decided upon, it is reported that it will be called “Non Amour Atoll.”
Langdon announced yesterday that a meeting of Clef ’n’ Caper is to be held Wednesday afternoon, and urged all persons who took part in the show “G.I. Bill” to be present whether they intend to try out for the new show or not.

The decoration plan for the structure is in line with suggestions made last semester by President Fred D. Fagg Jr., that certain buildings on campus be repainted.
The project is the first of its kind in the peacetime program of the university to modernize buildings that have had heavy wear due to the increased number of students.
Work will be under the direction of C. Raimond Johnson, university supervising architect.
“We’ll start painting In a very short time,” Mr. Johnson said.

Mr. Murman came to the United States first in 1905 from Leningrad. Russia, to become a banker. Upon his arrival here he discovered the American system of banking differed greatly from that of Russia. He then sailed to Germany to study art. The following year he returned to the United States intending to settle in San Francisco but was diverted from there by the disastrous fire. Mr. Murman then settled in Los Angeles.
Por 34 years he was custom designer of interiors and his work is featured in many movie colony homes.
He retired in 1940 to devote all his time to the preparation of hand-colored transparencies.
Wamp Pin-Up Excites Cops
The police department has announced that its vice squad has been doubled for next Monday, in anticipation of the Wampus Pin-Up calendar. Several law enforcement agencies are cooperating in keeping j Wampus from appearing, but the SC publication will be on the stands according to the editors, who are now in hiding.
Besides the vice-squad, the Children's Aid Society, Legion of De- I cency, and the Mothers of the Russian Revolution, have voiced protests.
The United States Post Office has showed more than a casual interest in the Wampus when it was revealed 50.000 copies would be smuggled overseas to our armed forces.
Nothing definite could be learned as to the nature of the calendar except that nothing like it, in the United States or Paris, has ever j been seen before.

Southerners Rap Truman
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—The revolt of southern Democrats flared anew today with threats to block the election of President Truman coming soon after a White House denial that t he might placate the rebels by modifying his civil rights program.
The threat was raised in a long and virulent speech by Sen. James O. Eastland, D., Miss. He called the president’s anti-discrimination program “racial demagoguery” like that of the “carpetbaggers” of post-civil war days.
