JOE FLYNN makes comeback
Flynn to Play As Handyman In Years Ago
“Years Ago." slated for Bovard presentation Apr. 1 through 6. will present campus personality Joe Flynn and coeds Jacquie Holt and Barbara Wisner in supporting roles in the play of whimsy and nostalgia.
The action takes place about 1910 and deals with the difficulties of a stage-struck young girl whose father opposes her choice of profession, preferring instead that she become a physical culture instructor.

Any-who fails to do so will automa-^c&lly be placed on 15 days’ leave. A veteran placed on 15-days’ ive will receive subsistence allow-lnces for that period. His period of ning at government expense will len be reduced by that amount. VA explained that veterans are )laced on subsistence rolls from the late of enrollment until 15 days fter the close of the semester. This lutomatic 15-day leave policy makes possible for veterans studying linder an accelerated program to ?ive unbroken subsistence payments between semesters.

tion to resolving students’ economic difficulties through cooperative action.
COSTS DROP Under the leadership of the unofficial Association of SC-Co-ops, enthusiasts of the plan have made important strides in the improvement and expansion of existing cooperative facilities, as well as in planning for the future. Through the efforts of this group, large numbers of students whose university careers are threatened by soaring living costs are discovering in jointly-owned-and-oper-ated housing and dining establishments a means of continuing their educations.
Four official cooperative groups are active on campus at tne present time: the luncheon co-op. Woolman house. Friends house, and Moreland hall.
PARTICIPANTS WORK The luncheon co-op meets daily in the basement of the University Methodist church and is an organization of students who prepare and serve complete noon meals to members on a cooperative basis. Each member of the group pays 35 cents per meal and devotes one hour a week to cooking and serving food, washing dishes, or cleaning the dining room.	,
Woolman house, a women’s residence hall accommodating 10 students, is operated under the auspices of the American Friends Service committee. Directed by former missionaries Mr. and Mrs. Robert Simkin, the house is cooperatively operated. Women residents pay low. monthly rents and prepare and serve their own meals, for which they pay 70 cents per day. As evidence of the success of their endeavors, a patronage rebate of 15 per cent was returned to co-op members at the end of last semester.
WANT OWN HOUSE Friends house, also operated by the American Friends Service committee, is the outstanding men’s cooperative dining organization on campus. Here men pay a flat rate of $35 monthly for
Dances Lead Campus Whirl
SC’s social whirl moved into high gear this week as students began celebrating the arrival of spring and balmy beach weather.
High spot in the current student entertainment scene is the forth coming Peasant festival at the Riviera Country club.
Herb Riley, chairman of the Independent dance committee, said yesterday, “Even the weatherman is cooperating to make the festival a success.’’ Local rain prognosticates, he pointed out. have promised nothing worse than soft, caressing zephyrs on the night of the dance, Apr. 3.

SC will be pipelined into the United States state department at noon today when Clark Eichelber-ger, current consultant to the Palestine commission for the security council, appears as guest speaker for the international relations student body.
Speaking in 418 Student Union, Mr. Eichelberger will present to students and faculty of SC his views on the .past accomplishments of the United Nations and how that organization will rise to meet its current and future problems.
“Eichelberger is a disciple of peace,” said Don Robertson, IR student body president. “He is on a flying tour of the West Coast to extend every effort in making the United Nations work.
“Three other colleges are included in his itinerary,” he continued. “He will appear at UCLA, Occidental, and Compton junior college before returning to Flushing Meadows and his work on the hot Palestine issue.”
Editor of the United Nations News, Eichelberger spoke in Hollywood last night coincident with the Geneva conference of Freedom of Information.
Brother of Gen. Robert Eichelberger of Philippine fame, he is director of the American Association for United Nations Inc. and is consultant for nongovernmental agencies to the UN. He also serves as publicity chairman of the World Federation of UN associations, of which the late Jan Mssaryk was a member.
“All students and faculty members are invited to attend this meeting as guests of the international relations student body,” said Robertson.
Einsteins
. . . who have been notified of their eligibility for membership in Phi Eta Sigma are asked to report to Jim McAree in 318 Student Union at 1 today for a meeting which will not last more than 15 minutes.
“The YWCA clothing drive will continue over Easter vacation to allow students a chance to gather up old clothes at home,” Marilyn Esslinger, chairman of the drive, announced yesterday.
The drive, which began Sunday with the distribution of duffle bags to all sororities, fraternities, and dormitories, was originally scheduled to end today. The committee decided to hold it over until after the holidays, explained Miss Esslinger, so that students living on campus would have an opportunity to rummage through their attics at home in search of old, outgrown, or out-of-style clothing.
SEND OLD LOOK'
Women advocates of tne "new look’’ are especially requested to donate their now out-moded short | skirts, and all types of snoes are desperately needed. Any kind of wearing apparel that ls ln good condition and can still oe worn will be accepted by the Y for the needy people of Europe and China.
The Y is sponsoring this drive in conjunction with the American Friends service committee, a Quaker group, which has charge of distributing the clothing abroad. The collected clothing will be distributed to the various countries on the basis of need.
BOOST HOUSE QUOTAS
As originally scheduled, a truck will pick up the 50 duffle bags with donated clothing from the dbrmi-tories. sororities, and fraternities this afternoon. Before being shipped abroad, the collected clothing will be checked, mended, and sterilized.
The collection station for the drive is located ln front of the YWCA house. 854 West 36th street. Students not living on campus are requested to turn in their discarded clothing there unless they are members of campus social organizations and wish to help boost their house quotas.
A request for sewing kits and knitting wool has also been issued by the American Friends committee. This agency has been carrying on humanitarian drives of this type for many years and last year received a joint award of the 1947 Nobel Peace prize for its work in alleviating the suffering of the needy people abroad.
Dahl to Conduct Musicians In Annual Opera Rendition
Want to Make Better Marks? Change Name
The University orchestra, under the direction of Ingolf Dahl, associate professor of music, will present the fourth in a series of annual concerto and opera programs tonight at 8:30 in Bovard auditorium.
A scenic, one-act cantata, “The Prodigal Son,” Debussy.
will be featured on the program,*----
with three students singers taking the solo parts. Mr. Dahl will lead} the orchestra in numbers by De-i bussy, Mozart, and Milhaud, a modern French composer.
Mr. Dahl who has been with the University since 1945, received his musical training in Europe, grad uating from the Academy of Music Cologne, and the University and Conservatory of Zurich.
The orchestra will open the pro gram with Darius Milhaud’s Con certo for percussion and orchestra Forrest Clark will solo in the work Now teaching at Mills college, Milhaud is considered one of the foremost contemporary French composers.
SOLO PARTS TAKEN
Concluding the first half of the program the musicians will play Mozart's Symphony Concertante for Four Wind Instruments and Orchestra with solo parts to be played by Ray Weaver, oboe; George Hyde,
French hom; Merritt Buxbaum, clarinet; and Eugene Lehrmann, bassoon.
“The Prodigal Son,’’ sung in Eng lish, will be presented in the last half of the evening. Ingeborg Linden, soprano, will sing the part of Lia; Raymond Baird, baritone, will interpret the role of Simeon, Lia’s husband; and William Galen, tenor, will take the part of Azael. the prodigal son.
COMPOSER ESTABLISHED Frieda J. Meblin. speech instructor, is managing the stage production of the work which won Debussy the Frix de Rome and established him as a composer of major importance.
The 19th century opera was the first major work of the French composer, written while he was still a young man.
The entire performance is to be broadcast over station KUSC. All students and their friends are welcome to the admission-free program.
That all-important problem ot how to make upper-bracket grades in school may have been solved last week by Norman Evans, a member of Phi Eta Sigma. According to some primary observations made by him. the answer may be to change your last name.
Evans spent a good part of last week looking through a set of books in the registrar’s office picking out those SC freshmen who had managed to scrape together a 2.5 or better grade-point average, thus qualifying themselves for initiation next month into Phi Eta Sigma, frosh honorary scholarship society.
“The set is divided alphabetically — A-E F-J. and so f o rt h," Evans related, “and we were surprised to notice, after we had searched through all of them, thpt each book averaged more than 10 persons with the necessary grades, with the exception of the T-Z book, which produced only three eligi-bles.”
Evans has promised to test the validity of his hypothesis with more investigation. If his theory proves true, it may not be possible for Miss Ybarra to become a Phi Beta Kappa merely by marrying Mr. Aard-vark, but it certainly will provide John Z’lch with an excellent excuse if his grades are low.
The 53 students chosen as eligible for membership in Phi Eta Sigma will receive their initiation instructions today at 1 in 318 Student Union and will be formally initiated into the society on Apr. 8.
