AEC Job Extended For Cordon Dean
President Truman last week extended the appointment of Gordon E. Dean, former SC professor of law, to the Atomic Energy commission for another three years.
Professor Dear, selected 13 months ago to serve on the strategic board, received the second longest term in the President’s list of time-staggered appointments. Sumner T. Pike, acting chairman, was appointed for a four-year period. Thomas Murray of New Jersey and Henry DeWolff Smyth of New Jersey were also reappointed.
Significant gaps in the roster of appointees indicate that a successor to David F. Lillienthal, who resigned from the chairmanship early this year, has not yet been found. A vacancy in the commission also went unfilled.
Before accepting a professorship at SC, Dean had served on the staff of War Crimes prosecutor Robert H. Jackson, and had been chief of the appellate section of the Jusitce department's criminal division. He was graduated from the School of Law in 1930.
1950 Class SC's Largest; 5500 Grads
SC's largest class, 5500 strong, was graduated in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during the University’s 67th annual commencement exercises on Saturday, June 17.
The group was larger than the total enrollment of the University's first 40 years. By comparison, it took SC 40 years from its first class in 1884 through the class of 1924 to graduate 5409 persons—a figure it exceeded by 41 persons this year.
GURLEY SPEAKS Fred G. Gurley, president of the Santa Fe System lines, was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by President Fred D. Fagg Jr. Gurley gave the commencement address in which he said that personal liberty must be maintained in the United States if this country is to continue to create jobs and produce wealth. He advised the graduating class to:
“Keep in mind the relation between personal and economic freedom on one hand, and the creation of jobs and contributions to a better life on the other hand.
“Does it just happen that America has more ice cream, more “hot dogs,” more movies, more radios, more television, and more automobiles than any other country?” “The answer, of course, is that nothing just happens. It is brought about. You would just happen to keep the personal liberty you have. You can lose it. But don’t do it!” Asa V. Call, president of the SC board of trustees, delivered the Charge to Graduates in which he urged the graduating class to shoulder as individuals the responsibilities that go always and inseparably with freedom.

Africa Sings Thurs. Night
South African folk songs by Joseph and Marina Marais Thursdaj night will open the full concert and recital slate scheduled by the Institute of the Arts.
Their concert, “Folk Songs of the World,” which has packed theaters all over the world will be presented at 8:30 in Bovard auditoruim.
Marais, raised on a South African prairie farm, began a career as a folk singer when he entered and won an audition that the English Victor Phonograph company held during a search for a vocalist who could fill a South African market demand for records in the African dialect.
i In 1939 while working for the Ofiice of War Information radio j news service, Marais met a young Dutch girl, Marina, who had a voice suitable for the folk songs he had been singing over the air. They began singing duets.
Husband and wife now. they live in a pleasant home in Hollywood. They both appeared in Hal Wallis’ “Rope of Sand,"
Not content to be called folk singers, Joseph and Marina believe their function is that of ancient minstrels—and enforce old songs with new life and cloak them in fitting harmony so that they will emerge as act songs. Thus they attract tlie mass public for whom such songs might have been merely inconsequential ditties of a past and forgotten age.
