Commons Trip Brings Surprise Birthday Cheer
The world is full of surprises . . . and without them, life would be a mere pittance of existence.
Roy L. French, director of the School of Journalism, will put his stamp of approval to that.
Wednesday as he made his way to the roof of the Commons for a mid-morning snack, he found all of the waiters and waitresses in the dining room lined up singing “happy birthday” to a fellow employee.
His spontaneous outburst brought looks of amazement to the singing troubadors . . . but they turned into smiles when Director French reached into his pocket and displayed his driver’s license. It was his birthday too.
And so to top off his salad order, the still-smiling French received a personal birthday cake of his own . . . with best wishes from the still-smiling personnel in the dining room.

At the University of Southern California, 34 men solemnly marched into a banquet hall one evening last week for a special commencement ceremony. They were trainmasters, paymasters, auditors and public-relations men. Their ages ranged from 28 to 54. Employees of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, they had just finished a rugged new six-week course: how to think clearly about the society in which they live.
This ambitious project was the brainchild of Fred G. Gurley, 63, Santa Fe president and a USC trustee. Boss of 65,000 employee#
and 13,000 miles of track, Gurley had watched his railroad prosper, but with the uneasy suspicion that it was failing in a primary duty: to help its personnel understand the free-enterprise economy in which they operate. Last spring Gurley suggested that USC’s President Fred D. Fagg Jr. organize a new course just for the Santa Fe.
Headed by Dean (of Commerce) Lawrence Lockley, a six-man team of professors worked out the curriculum. They avoided specialized courses in business practices, concentrated on broad social problems. Students attended classes from 8:30 to 4 each day in subjects ranging from child labor to civil rights to Communism. They
held mock business conferences, practiced public speaking.
Three times a week, after dinner, they attended a lecture, spent weekends touring industrial plants and ranches. They also had to find time for a heavy load of reading: Karl Marx, Paul Hoffman’s “Peace Can Be Won," Norman Thomas’ “A Socialist’s Faith,” and the “Wall Street Journal."
To the students, it seemed something of a lark at first — six expense-paid weeks in sunny South-ernCalifornia. But last week, as one by one they marched up to receive their graduation certificates, Dean Lockley happily noted that they all looked “five years older . . . We hRve tried.” said he, “to turn out men who can think."
Saucer" Furor Hits the Seas
The “flying saucer” furor of the skies has reached the bottomless reaches of the ocean.
An unmanned automatic camera (a benthograph) weighing 3000 pounds was submerged from SC’s Velero IV, to depths of a mile to photograph sea life.
Some of the photographs made automatically every 30 seconds caught pictures of rare animals which look like flying saucers equipped with delicate tentacles.
Dr. Kenneth O. Emery, professor of geology, reported that although the benthograph has been lost, plans have been initiated to construct an improved type of camera for photographing greater depths.
Two-Year Research
The “flying saucer” discovery is a result of two years of research with the benthograph.
Clearness of the water and the variety of ocean scenery make the sea oft California one of the best regions in the world for submarine photography. Dr. Emery said.
Another result of the research work was the discovery of a living cloud of unknown creatures which spread over the ocean at depths of 800 and 1500 feet. This mysterious cloud moved in rhytm-ic fashion, rising to less than 500 feet of depth at dusk and sinking again before dawn.
