Volleyballers To Seek Funds
Funds for sending the SC volleyball team to the national championship playoffs in Knoxville, Tenn., will be solicited today from campus groups.
“If the student body can raise $6:0. I have been promised that certain other groups will match that sum,” Don Gevirtz, URA chairman, said Friday.	v
The SC volleyball trip must be financed by student groups because volleyball is an extra-mural sport under the jurisdiction of the University Recreation association. It is not recognized by the athletic department, Gevirtz said.
The team, comprised of Hap Pitkin, Bob Duron, Jack Gaudino. Bert Hughes, John Brame, Don Patterson, Ed Colburn, and Don Miller, won the state championship this yeair under the coaching of Hans Vogel. Last year the SC team won the national volleyball championship.
If the $1200 needed to cover the trip expenses is raised, the team will participate. Gevirtz said.
Both campus political parties. Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and the Independent council have already contributed, he said. There is also a possibility that profits from the LAS Catalina trip and the senior prom may be added, he said.
The Senate was enthusiastic at Wednesday’s meeting about the fund-raising. Gevirtz said there is a possibility the social committee fine fund may be used. Ellen Potter, ASSC vice-president, volunteered the money at the Senate meeting pending final approval. Gevirtz said.
“It is very seldom that the student body actually gets the opportunity to get directly behind its athletic representatives with its financial and moral support,” Gevirtz said. “This is an excellent opportunity to bring publicity to the university by showing its athletic diversity.” he added.
Design Show In Harris Hall
A Fine Arti Design exhibit, including student work in the field of general and intermediate design, is on di-play this week. Harris hall, gallery 103.
Examples of stenciling, freebrush design, block printing, travel brochures, magazine covers, stained glass windows, abstract mural designs .and research work will make up the main part of the exhibit.
Catalina Trip Offers Frolic At Low Cost
An economical package deal has been worked out for students who plan to go on the LAS-sponsored Catalina trip May 14.
Tickets, which go on sale Wednesday, will cost $5, and include roundtrip transportation via water-taxi, admission to a faculty-student baseball game, and dinner at Amo’s restaurant on the island.
“Normally all this would cost the participant at least $8,” trip chairman Bill Kennedy said.
Last year's jaunt to the island, 20 miles off San Pedro, drew 400 students, and Kennely promises “a more complete dinner” this time.
Social chairmen are requested to pick up Catalina tickets immediately at the ticket office, Kennedy said. Arrangements to charter individual water launches may be made with Kennedy.
The motor launches are scheduled to leave 9:30 Sunday morning from the Harbor Water Launch company docks located next to the Catalina Steamer terminal in San Pedro. The boats will leave from Avalon on Catalina island at 7 p.m.
“This trip is not just fcr LAS students,” Kennedy emphasized. “The entire student body is invited to participate.”

GOOD PROSPECTS
Opportunities for specialists are often better than for lawyers in general practice. These poitiens are few and are usually found with big firms jn large cities. Specialists | fi^ht.
County Supervisor Leonard Roach, self-styled “lone wolf” in the battle which has waged for two ! months over County Oourt house plans, is no longer alone.
A group of SC women law students, members of Phi Delta Delta, national legal sorority, ditched ! their books last week to join the

The best opportunities for new lawyers are in medium-size and smaller cities, especially those with prospects of economic expansion. State capitals and county seats may also offer relatively good opportunities.
OTHER FIELDS
Many young lawyers will probably be forced to turn to other fields of work in which their legal training may be an asset. Competition for employment has greatly increased since 1947, and it ^’ill probably become keener in the twc.
The students allied themselves with members of the Women Lawyers club in approving a resolution which charges county supervisors with “insufficient study” of plans for. two new court houses and a law library, all to be erected as separate buildings.
The women favor construction of only one building. Heavy initial and maintenance costs for three buildings was the basis of their objections.

George Woolery, GUP publicity manager, announced that Dave Durst has been placed in charge of the GUP campaign headquarters.

Reaction by two campus political factions was voiced recently when the Senate defeated a measure which would allow the party affiliation of a candidate to appear beside his name on the ballot.
Jack Shaffer, Unity presidential candidate, said Unity party members who were voting on the Senate proposition voted 100 per cent “yes.” He said GUP party members in the Senate voted 100 per cent “no.” Since there were more GUP members voting, the proposition was defeated.
“Those GUP senators,” Shaffer said, “who voted against having party affiliation on the ballot seemed to feel that elections are a popularity oontest rather than a vote on what a man stands for.’’ “Unity has always been proud of what it stands for as a party,” he continued. “All our candidates are selected cn the basis of th« type of program they stand for and their qualifications.
