Natural Science Lecture Series Begins in Hancock Tonight
One of the most famous bird photographers in the United States will show some of his kodachrome slides in a program entitled, “Native Birds and Bird Songs,” tonight at 8 in Hancock auditorium.
The program is the first of the Natural Sciences series this semester.
Dr. John S. Garth, the speaker, is a research associate of the Allan Hancock Foundation. He studied ornithology at Cornell university with Dr. Arthur A. Allen, a noted ornithologist.
“Whenever possible, recordings made by Ccrnell experts of bird sounds will be synchronized with the films,” Dr. Garth said.
“There is great difficulty in recording bird sounds in that outside noises easily interfere with the birds’ voices. To help overcome this problem, a sound truck equipped with a special microphone is used. The microphone has a parabolic mirror at the center to concentrate the bird sounds,” he said.
A motion picture depicting the life span of the broadtailed hummingbird is also on the program. This color film was made in the Colorado Rockies and received honorable mention as one of the best non-commercial films produced in 1940.
Although Dr. Garth was requested to present the program specifically for life science teachers in public schools, the public is invited.

Bumper Baby Buggy Crop!
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—<U.R>— Wartime and postwar increases in marriage and births have caught up with the baby-buggy business, the Census bureau said today.
Manufacturers of children's vehicles reported that their production increased about 450 per cent in dollar volume from 1939 to 1947. Part of that was due to increased prices but a boost in the number of births helped.
There were 44 manufacturers of buggies, tricycles and strollers in 1939. Eight years later the number had jumped to 120, the census said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—(UP)—Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex., of the Senate Foreign Relations committee today introduced a 5 billion dollar bill to continue the European Recovery Program until June 30, 1950. But he warned that “Europe must do its part” to make the project succeed.
Rents Zoom in Some Areas
Colleges Lose Titles in Switch
Standardization of names of schools has been revealed by the Board of Trustees as a result of a recent addition cf new by-laws.
The Los Angeles University of International Relations will be called the School of International Relations under the College of Let-ttrs, Arts, and Sciences. Schools of Journalism, Music, and Philosophy are included in LAS.
The word “college” has oeen dropped from every school except LAS and the University College. Newly named as schools are Aeronautics, Architecture. Commerce, Dentistry, Engineering, Music, and Pharmacy.
Henceforth the word “graduate” will be applicable only to the Graduate School. This change affects the Schools of Library Science, Religion, and Social Work, formerly graduate schools.
No change was made for the Schools of Education, Law, Medicine, and Public Administration, or for the curricula an entrance requirements of any _ of the schools involved in the renaming.
Commerce
. . . council members of last semester meet in 251 Administration, 3 p.m., to discuss a proposed constitutional amendment and pick up
keys.
attempts to beat the ram or create a proper impression in their prots’ minds by reaching class on time <the first day at least) were rewarded with yellow directives from the Los Angeles City police.
S10 EACH
The directives—parking tickets— call for an early appearance of the recipients at the City hall. Cost ot such an appearance is usually $10 per person when the ticket is lor a violation of red zones.
Parking on University avenue was j prevalent yesterday, reaching its ! height at noon when both sides of each lane of the street from Bridge hall to the ruins of Old College were in the shadows of a continuous line of parked autos.
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Cause of the great numbers of violators was apparently a human i tendency to foljpw the leader.
Asked why he had parked in an obviously illegal zone, one student i replied that he had just followed the others, although he knew such i parking had always been frowned ! upon by members of the police cte-j partment.
j Andy Pounds, who this semester transferred to SC from Bakersfield.
; said he was told by a student "to go ahead and park on the avenue . . . the police would overlook the violation for the first two or three days of the semester.” Pounds flexed his fingers and mumbled unprintable words about the giver of this “friendly” advice.
DRIVEWAYS BLOCKED
“Extremely hazardous to pedestrians” was the reason for the Police department’s strict attention to University avenue parking, said Ot-ficer W. S. Hendra, who had the task of filling out and delivering the many tickets. Hendra also noted that students had blocked driveways used by delivery trucks, caus- I ing complaints by university officials.
SITUATION GETTING WORSE
Students, themselves, had some complaints about the parking situation. Heretofore merely trouble-merely troublesome, the shortage of parking space promised to become acute with the restriction of the Exposition park area to two-hour parking.
The restriction was effected by the Parks department which had received numerous complaints from citizens wanting to use the park facilities but who were unable to do so because of a student “monopoly” of the parking area
Permits to park in restricted areas near their classes were promised by the Office of Veteran Affairs for veterans with severe disabilities. Any PL-16, who has not received such a permit and feels entitled to one. should contact the office of Dr. Phillip A. Libby.
Scavenger Hunt?
Pledging Caper Offends Dancer
A redheaded dancer at the Colony club in Gardena restrained a bouncer from "working over' three SC fraternity pledges who
“insulted” her Friday night.
Officials of the nightclub saia that three men from Delta Tau Delta insulted Ginger Bristow when they sought her help in obtaining several items on a scavenger hunt list.
Last night the DT contacted representatives from the fraternity. Bill Parker, president: Ken Childs, and Hugh Greenup, admitted tha. there had been trouble when the fledglings, who were engaged in hell week activities, confronted the dancer with the list.
‘‘They’re just pledges and have to do what they are told.” Miss Bristow said when the former Marine who serves as bouncer preparect to eject the men.
“The fraternity regrets the who.e incident and will assume responsibility.” said Parker.
“We will send a representative down to apologize.”
The injured parties indicated that such a move would be appreciated.

Royall Ends Japan Tour
TOKYO. Japan. Feb. 7—<U.P)— Army Secretary Kenneth Royall left by plane for Korea toay after compltting a one-week inspection tour of Japan and predicting a triumph of Democracy over Communism.
Before he left, the United States Chamber of Commerce recommended to him that control of civilian business in Japan “be returned to civilian authority as soon as possible.”
Dennis McEvoy, president of the organization in Japan, said the US Army is not an adaptable agent in buying and selling. He said the commercial system must be turned over to civilians if trade is to flourish.
Assistant Secretary of Labor John W. Gibson, who is accompanying Royall, told newsmen there was a feeling in high American quarters that the Japanese Public Service act had “gone too far in some fields.”
The Public Service act. passed by the Japanese Diet at the suggestion of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. prohibits collective bargaining and strikes by civil servants.
Gibson said attempts to amend certain aspects of the measure were underway in the Army, State, and Labor departments.
Royall, in his farewell address tc a Chamber of Commerce luncheon given in his honor, warned that people falling under Russian domination will learn that they have nothing to gain by such an association.
Royall also repeated his charge that Russia is holding millions of laborers in Soviet concentration 1 camps.
