Willard hall, at present a women's residence, 942 West 34th street, will be converted to accommodate the residents of Casa de Rosas. The women students who have planned to live at Willard hall will be housed in Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall, Harris plaza, and the graduate cottages.
Rooms in Willard hall are singles and doubles with adjoining baths for every two rooms.
In the past Casa de Rosas has been leased by the university and variously used as a women’s residence hall, tearoom, and quarters for the Nat’onal School’s trainees during the war. James F. Clark, director of commons and residence halls, is facilitating the transfer of these dormitories.
Present residents of Casa de Rosas will be given priority for rooms at Willard hall. They may make arrangements in the housing bureau in 230 Student Union.

T House Group Plans to Organize Association Today
A recommendation for the organization of an International House association will be made today before a meeting of interested students, said M. S. Malik, chairman of the Senate “I” house subcommittee.
According to Malik this association would be given authority, and possibly funds, to either take an option on or to sign a lease for an “I” house. When the house has finally been established, the group would manage it.
Need for such an organization became evident, said Malik, when the sub-committee did not have funds or authority to take necessary legal action.
The “I” house, as recommended by the committee in a Dec. 14 Senate report, would be set up with a few minor changes along the lines of the one now existing at the University of California at Berkeley.
The recommendation will be discussed at 1:30 p.m. in the Senate chambers.

Screedig Helps Lay Cemedt on New Roof Angle
The sidewalk engineers who were wondering how the angled concrete roof was put on the new Commons building need wonder no longer. It was screed -ed on.
This is not a typographical error, but is thc trade term for the method by which the roof was poured.
William Cruiekshank. construction inspector, explained that a dry concrete mixture was used in small section applications. The pourers worked clockwise around-the roof, allowing the concrete on the bottom to get partially set before another section was added. Through this method, an even layer of concrete may be applied and the amount of the mixture in the form at one time is not great enough to collapse the form and cause overflow.
The concrete reinforcement will aJIow lucky Trojans to dine on the roof and bask in the California sunshine and smog.

The houses not directly in the path of the freeway would be stranded, and the entity of the Row would be destroyed.
State highway engineers told Robert D. Fisher, financial vice-president, and C. Raimond Johnson, university architect, that they did not realize the effect of this tentative location for the freeway, and are willing to abandon the plan if a suitable alternative route can be mapped out.
“They were making an honest effort to cause as little damage as possible to pub^c institutions such as hospitals, churches, and the university,” Fisher said, “but didn’t realize what the real effect on SC would be.”
WILLING TO COOPERATF A spokesman for the locating engineering department of the city who wished to remain anonymous said his bureau was willing to cooperate with SC in every way.
“I believe we are making some The DT s pre-vacation safety engineering changes now, but I am campaign paid off with a dividend not sure about it,” he said. “This of human lives.

Schafer was injured while ski-at the Alta resort near Salt City when a ski pole ran through his groin as he fell. Arteries to his right leg were severed. Three other SC skiers gave him emergency treatment and transported him on a toboggan to the Alta Peruvian lodge. From there he was taken to the Hcly Cross hospital in Salt Lake City where he is now.
TWO-STORY buiiding pictured above is to be the new permanent home of SC's fCA. The building is expected to be completed in about five months, and will serve a hospitality center for women students. Bids for construction were asked of 15 contractors yesterday.
ids Asked on Y' Building

Harpsichordist Begins Bach Concert Series Sunday Night
reported.
Lt. Paul W. Freestone, University Police station, said that he feels that the safety drives conducted by the DT and other local papers were more than instrumental in bringing about the no fatality accident record in the University division during the holiday season.
He added that the total number of traffic deaths in this division had threatened to run higher in 1949 than for the previous year. A sharp decrease in the number of fatalities during December, however, kept the year’s total at 34, the same as in 1948.
Lt. Freestone estimated that from six to eight probable deaths had been prevented as a result cf the campaigns and intensive police work.
Artist-faculty member Mme. Alice Ehiers will present the first program in a series of Bach festival concerts at 8:30 Sunday evening in Hancock auditorium.
Mme. Ehiers, recognized as one of the world's leading harpsichordists, will present the concert with six local artists. Soprano Margaret Dayton, bass William Vennard, and oboist Lloyd Rath bun of the SC faculty will be heard with Los Angeles Philharmonic flautist Dorio Anthony, MGM violist Virginia Ma-jewski, and UCLA faculty member, viclist Frieda Belinfante.
The concert series will be sponsored by the School of Music and will be under the direction of Mme. Ehiers who is an authority on Bach and 18th century music.	•>
SC’s Bach festival will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the German composer's death.
This series of 10 concerts, which will be given throughout the year, will give Bach's admirers an opportunity to hear many of hit. works that are seldom performed.
Although it will not be possible to play even a small part of his music in the course of 10 concerts, at least one representative work of his varied music will be performed so that listeners will have at least an idea of Bach's greatness and versatility.
Sunday evening's program will include Sonata in B Minor, No. 1, for flute and harpsichord; Sonata in D Major, No. 2, for voila da gamba and harpsichord; and Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue and Cantata 152 for flute, oboe, vioia d' amore, viola da gamba, figured bass, sop'rano, and bass.
The program will be open to the public without charge.
Tickets
... for the Stanford and California basketball games will be available today and tomorrow in the Student tickct office to all activity book holders.
He said that the map showing the engineer's route is now in the hands of the state highway engineers who will determine the ultimate route of the freew'ay. The plan must have public hearings and then go to the Los Angeles city council for approval.
It must then be approved by the state highway commission and the city planning commission before the city and state can agree on a contract for construction.
If the present route is approved, the Row wili be divided with Sigma Nu, Gamma Phi Beta, and Delta Gamma stranded on one side of the freeway toward Figueroa street.
Those which will be forced to move elsewhere are Delta Zeta Alpha Epsilon Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Theta. Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha. Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Alpha Omicron Pi.
For the rest of the houses, the slogan will be “watch the Fords go by.”

Four Architect Seniors Honored in Ceremony
T
Four G.I. senior students of the SC School of Architecture were I honored yesterday with the dedication of a $16,500 home which they designed as a class project. They are Jerald King. Jack Strick-land, i Paul Tay, and Harry Wilson.
Known as “Villageaire,” named I by Bill Hines as the winner of a ! student contest, the ranch-tj pe ! home is located in Baldwin Hills Village Gardens. It was designed on the theme of creating a home from the desires of a group of home seekers, rather than from the architect’s point of view.
Ceremonies of the press preview' showing yesterday were presided ever by Art Baker, radio commentator, with participants including President Fred D. Fagg Jr., Neil Petree, president of Barker Bros.; which furnished the home; Walter H. Leimert, realtor; and Howard ■ Edgerton, president of the California Federal Savings Loan association, which sponsored the lot , and construction of the home.
“The boys are to be congratulated,” Dr. Fagg said, “on the outstanding project "which shows the results of practical thinking and lively imagination. It is an example, in the best tradition, of combining theory with practice, and is a thrill to the university as I am sure it is to the boys who did the designing.”
Dean cf the School of Architecture Arthur B. Gallion said “The heme is unique in architectural education and we see in it the training for developing talents of youth. Its prime lesson is in helping these students to learn to work with others; to learn to give them what they want as buyers and as builders.” The new home is built around a gardened patio. Its features were gathered by the student architects from interviews with prospective home buyers.
After a period of display the home will be scld with profits going to the SC school for research work.
