Doheny Fire Doesn't Alarm. Studious T rojans
No one can say that SC students don’t concentrate when they study!
Evidence of this concentration came Friday at 8 p.m., when a number of students, studying in Doheny library, blissfully studied their way right through a fire alarm that saw seven local engines rush to Doheny to put out a “fire” in the upper extremities of the building.
Even the entrance of a group of firemen with axes readied went unnoticed, as did their efforts to force a door in the basement to get at the source of the only smoke that was pouring out of the chimney.
Even when the firemen trouped out the front entrance a mere handful of students glanced up, w hile outside, crowds were already gathering.
As it turned out, the fire was merely a back-fire of the library boiler, so the firemen went back to the station and the students continued their studying. No damage was reported.

Film Series To Present Early Talkie'
The “man of a thousand faces Lon Chaney, can be seen tonight in his last film — “The Unholy Three,” in Hancock auditorium, 8 p.m.
The picture is the third in a series of 13 film classics to be shown by Delta Kappa Alpha, national cinema honorary fraternity.
First and Last
“The Unholy Three” was the first and last sound film made by Chaney. Completed in 1932, it marked the introduction of new sound techniques into the film industry.
It was in this film that Chaney, known in the silent era as “the man with a thousand faces,” tried to establish himself as ‘The man of a thousand voices.”
Before this movie was made, he had fought sound movies for four years because his make-up had prohibited him from speaking in pictures.
In this picture he uses five different voices, one of them being that of an old woman that he impersonates.
Short Shown
The evening’s program includes a short documentary which will precede the feature film. It is directed by Willard Van Dyke, and it is about Edward Weston, one of the nations lamous “still” photographers.
Tickets for this evening's performance and the 10 to follow may be purchased for $3 at either the ticket office, second floor SU or at the performance tonight.
(No single tickets will be sold for separate movies.
by Stan Wood
The final curtain came down and though neither Hamlet nor Macbeth had been played, nonetheless—to Trojan followers—the spectacle just witnessed was stark tragedy.
A standing-room-only kudience, wilting from the sweltering humidity and the torrid action, saw a company of UCLA sharpshooters, under the direction of Johnny Wooden, completely devastate a troupe of dogged SC basketeers.
Proceeds of the two-night stand on the Westwood stage, showed profitable 66-51 and 63-57 wins over Troy for the Uclans and the opportunity for the Bruins to crash the big time—a two-out-of-three game playoff with the Washington Huskies for the PCC title.
No Stage Fright Here
It appears doubtful that the Uclans will be afflicted with stage fright when they meet the nationally-ranked Huskies at Westwood this weekend. At least, not if it’s true what they say about experience. Coach Wooden’s players have assumed the role of southern division titlist for the fourth straight year.
The Bruins won this current conference race with exactly the same 8-4 won-lost record they posted last season when they tied SC for the division lead. UCLA then defeated a flu-ridden Trojan team to gain the playoff slot. The Trojans conversely, reversed their 1951 standard to wind up in the loop cellar with a 4-8 mark.
Five Straight for Uclans
Troy dropped its last four league starts, and the double loss to UCLA made it five straight setbacks to its crosstown rival. This is the second time in history that SC failed to win at least one game in the yearly series against the Uclans.
Should the Bruins harbor any thoughts of running a record string of cage victories over the Trojans, they have an unsurmounatble task facing them. In a series of victories that lasted from 1932 to 1943, SC defeated UCLA on 42 occasions.
The stories of last weekend’s games bordered on plagiarism, so similar were the scripts for each evening. On both nights, the teams t/attled fairly even for the first act, and then UCLA’s Westwood players would get a commanding lead at intermission time.
Westwood Bit Players Enter
UCLA would increase its advantage after the rest period and then its stars were retired to the wing. The bit players would then make their entrance and would attempt to maintain the margin the stars had built up. The Bruin extras lost ground in the final act but managed to uphold a superiority at the final curtain despite the ceaseless and valiant efforts made by the Trojan players.
This same pattern of play prevailed despite the fact that SC cage director, Forrest Twogood, made three changes in his starting cast for the closing game. Twogie benched senior forward Bruce Bennett and starting guard Dick Ham-

Free X-Ray Offered By Health Center
Trojans can get a free X-ray starting today from 12 to 2 p.m. and every day this week except Saturday and Sunday at the Student Health center, 34th and Hoover streets. This is the first all-university X-ray campaign since
the pre-registration physical students last fall. Prior to this( X-rays have been taken on mobile X-ray units.
Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the health service, expressed the hope that everyone will take advantage of this service.
“Seniors especially should make use of it as a fina’ check on their condition before they are graduated,” he said.
The service is free to anyone on campus—students, faculty, and employees of SC.
X-rays will be shot in the special section of the Health Center devoted to X-ray work, said Dr. Greeley. One room has been especially set up for taking chest X-rays.
After exposures are developed they are put into an illuminated viewer which magnifies the film for interpretation. The findings are reported to Dr. Greeley who will then notify by mail the people who have been X-rayed.

Film Series To Present Early Talkie' The “man of a thousand faces Lon Chaney, can be seen tonight in his last film — “The Unholy Three,” in Hancock auditorium, 8 p.m. The picture is the third in a series of 13 film classics to be shown by Delta Kappa Alpha, national cinema honorary fraternity. First and Last “The Unholy Three” was the first and last sound film made by Chaney. Completed in 1932, it marked the introduction of new sound techniques into the film industry. It was in this film that Chaney, known in the silent era as “the man with a thousand faces,” tried to establish himself as ‘The man of a thousand voices.” Before this movie was made, he had fought sound movies for four years because his make-up had prohibited him from speaking in pictures. In this picture he uses five different voices, one of them being that of an old woman that he impersonates. Short Shown The evening’s program includes a short documentary which will precede the feature film. It is directed by Willard Van Dyke, and it is about Edward Weston, one of the nations lamous “still” photographers. Tickets for this evening's performance and the 10 to follow may be purchased for $3 at either the ticket office, second floor SU or at the performance tonight. (No single tickets will be sold for separate movies. by Stan Wood The final curtain came down and though neither Hamlet nor Macbeth had been played, nonetheless—to Trojan followers—the spectacle just witnessed was stark tragedy. A standing-room-only kudience, wilting from the sweltering humidity and the torrid action, saw a company of UCLA sharpshooters, under the direction of Johnny Wooden, completely devastate a troupe of dogged SC basketeers. Proceeds of the two-night stand on the Westwood stage, showed profitable 66-51 and 63-57 wins over Troy for the Uclans and the opportunity for the Bruins to crash the big time—a two-out-of-three game playoff with the Washington Huskies for the PCC title. No Stage Fright Here It appears doubtful that the Uclans will be afflicted with stage fright when they meet the nationally-ranked Huskies at Westwood this weekend. At least, not if it’s true what they say about experience. Coach Wooden’s players have assumed the role of southern division titlist for the fourth straight year. The Bruins won this current conference race with exactly the same 8-4 won-lost record they posted last season when they tied SC for the division lead. UCLA then defeated a flu-ridden Trojan team to gain the playoff slot. The Trojans conversely, reversed their 1951 standard to wind up in the loop cellar with a 4-8 mark. Five Straight for Uclans Troy dropped its last four league starts, and the double loss to UCLA made it five straight setbacks to its crosstown rival. This is the second time in history that SC failed to win at least one game in the yearly series against the Uclans. Should the Bruins harbor any thoughts of running a record string of cage victories over the Trojans, they have an unsurmounatble task facing them. In a series of victories that lasted from 1932 to 1943, SC defeated UCLA on 42 occasions. The stories of last weekend’s games bordered on plagiarism, so similar were the scripts for each evening. On both nights, the teams t/attled fairly even for the first act, and then UCLA’s Westwood players would get a commanding lead at intermission time. Westwood Bit Players Enter UCLA would increase its advantage after the rest period and then its stars were retired to the wing. The bit players would then make their entrance and would attempt to maintain the margin the stars had built up. The Bruin extras lost ground in the final act but managed to uphold a superiority at the final curtain despite the ceaseless and valiant efforts made by the Trojan players. This same pattern of play prevailed despite the fact that SC cage director, Forrest Twogood, made three changes in his starting cast for the closing game. Twogie benched senior forward Bruce Bennett and starting guard Dick Ham- Continaed on Page 3 Education Notice Free X-Ray Offered By Health Center Trojans can get a free X-ray starting today from 12 to 2 p.m. and every day this week except Saturday and Sunday at the Student Health center, 34th and Hoover streets. This is the first all-university X-ray campaign since the pre-registration physical students last fall. Prior to this( X-rays have been taken on mobile X-ray units. Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the health service, expressed the hope that everyone will take advantage of this service. “Seniors especially should make use of it as a fina’ check on their condition before they are graduated,” he said. The service is free to anyone on campus—students, faculty, and employees of SC. X-rays will be shot in the special section of the Health Center devoted to X-ray work, said Dr. Greeley. One room has been especially set up for taking chest X-rays. After exposures are developed they are put into an illuminated viewer which magnifies the film for interpretation. The findings are reported to Dr. Greeley who will then notify by mail the people who have been X-rayed. examination given entering Students who expect to complete the requirements for obtaining teaching or administration credentials with the university recommendation in June should make application at once.
