Arthur said he was going to ask permission from Kenneth Stonier, manager of student publications, to print 1000 more copies of the Wampus. He said that besides prospective cash sales, there are many students who bought advance-sale tickets but failed to pick up their copies yesterday. Additional copies are also needed to fill anticipated night school sales, he said, v Resales Salesmen at the booths in front of Founders hall and Student Union reported that many students who bought the rejuvenated humor sheet even came back later to purchase more copies.

Conflict Cancels IR Council Dinner
International Relations council dinner tomorrow night which was to honor Dr. Antonio Corea Do Lago, the first Brazilian consultant to Los Angeles, has been called off.
Tickets Still Available for CTC Play
Tickets for Saturday night's performance of the Crescent theater production of Eugene O'Neills, “Strange Interlude,” are sold out, according to Jim Norcop, producer.
“Plenty of tickets still are available for tomorrow night’s performance acid that of Mar. 28,” Norcop pointed out, “although the Mar. 29 performance is almost sold out.”
Curtain »time for the nine-act play is 5:30 p.m. with an hour and a half dinner break at 7:30. The production will be held in the student lounge.
“Ticket sales for the Friday night performances have been sluggish, probably because people get home too late to make the 5:30 curtain time,” Norcop explained.
Performances are scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 28, ana Mar. 29. Price of tickets is 50 cents.
Starring in the play is Beth Beatty who plays the role of Nina Leeds. The play traces through 25 years of her life, opening with Nina at the age of 20, when she loses her fiancee, a pi'ot who is shot down during the war. After she marries an ordinary man, Sam Evans, she names their first child Gordon, after her first love, whom she is never able to forget.
Throughout the play, the characters express tiheir thoughts to the audience, similar to the asides employed by Shakespeare in his plays.
Fred Beck, Farmers market columnist in the Los Angeles Times, will give Wampus a plug in her column,
he said.
The magazine not only sold well, but also received favorable comment from students.
“I liked the part about ‘Westwood’,” said Marty Schiller, radio-TV major. “The pictures were cute and really add a lot to the magazine,” she said.
Bruins IJnhappy Not everybody had Miss Schiller’s opinion of “20,000 students under the ‘C’,” especially the editor of the humor magazine at UCLA. He ' phoned Arthur yesterday morning and vowed that he’d massacre SC in his next issue.
Phil Marantz, pre-law major, said, he enjoyed the letters in Wampus. “I thought the jokes were terrific and I was pleased with the selection of Miss Wampus,” he said.
Joan Saunders, Wampus girl, will be interviewed by Hawthorne on his KNX radio show tonight at 12.
At last Wampus has humor on the college level, said retailing major Marilyn Simon. She said this was the first time she ever laughed at a joke in the magazine.
Dick Kappes, marketing major said, “The jokes are new, refreshing, and haven’t been swiped from someone else for a change.”
Color in the magazine scored a hit with Pete Peterson, engineering major. “I thought the table of contents was clever,” he said.
“It’s the finest Wampus I ever read,” said ASSC President John Bradley. “With a little more practice and a couple additions, it should compare with the best in the country.”
The faculty was also aware of Wampus coming back to campus. G. Preston Martin, instructor in finance, dismissed his 10 a.m. class yesterday to go have coffee and read the Wampus.
Compliments Arthur “The magazine was well thought out,” said Dr, Alex Aloia, student activities adviser. “It has humor, and at the same time does not degrade anyone. I think Allen Arthur did an outstanding job,” he said.
John E. Nordskog, professor of sociology, was told by students in one of his classes yesterday to “buy a Wampus and laugh yourself sick.” Tfcking on a serious look. Prof. Nordskog replied, “I don’t want to be sick.”
“There’s no reason why Wampus won't be on campus from now on,” said Arthur. “We not only have talented writers, interest and great support, but also we have a staff with the initiative to go out and sell the magazine.}’ he said.
Jim Paul, assistant circulation manager (whose name was left out of the staff in the Wampus) had charge of building the little “outhouse” sales booths.

Y Fiesta Day To Be Hashed At IFC Meet
Whether or not there will be a YMCA Fiesta day, a celebration designed to raise funds for the the proposed YM building, will be decided tonight at the IFC meeting, Gus Miller, YMCA publicity chairman, said yesterday.
Unofficially the affair is in their hands. Miller said, “if the IFC doesn’t support the event, neither will the individual fraternities that make up IFC,” he added. Row participation is needed to make Fiesta Day a success, according to Miller.
City’s OK Needed
Another hitch in the plans could come from the city of L.A. Miller said that plans for the affair call for a dance in the streets near campus. “We need the city's permission to block off the streets,” he explained.
If all the details are straightened out, the event will take place Apr. 19, on 28ch street between Hoover boulevard and University avenue.
IFC to Hear Ripley
“Ed Ripley, chairman for Fiesta Day, will introduce a proposal at the IFC meeting tonight,” Miller said. “We need their support to put the affair over,” he added.
“On the day of the Fiesta we plan to have food concessions and carnival booths—each one built by, manned by, and representing a fraternity or another campus organization,” Miller said.
The chairman also announced that there will be a trophy awarded to the organization that raises the most money.

A simple majority would convict a house ,and the accused fraternity would not be allowed a vote.
Punishment Outlined Punishment would consist of a warning for the first or minor offense to be followed by monetary fines, social probation which would eliminate the fraternities social activities for a semester; temporary or permanent expulsion from IFC, or suspension which would cancel the house's social and rushing privileges for a semester .
The proposed constitutional revision will be discussed today, said Flandrick, and further amendments will be made if necessary before the IFC votes on it at their next meeting. A two-thirds vote is necessary to approve it.
“The constitution was completely changed with the exception of the preamble,” said Flandrick.
to maintain its national and technical supremacy. SC engineers are making the most of it. according to Dr. George Harness, of the School of Engineering.
Shattering an old idea that there were too many engineers in the United States, the severe shortage of men with the technical know? how was brought to light Tuesday in an address given by Dr. Lee Du-Bridge, president of the California Institute of Technology. He spoke at a meeting of the Los Angeles Institute of Radio Engineers at Cal Tech.
Grads Cash In
When questioned on how SC engineers have been effected. Dr. Harness said, “The shortage has grown increasingly worse, and our graduates are caching in on it.” He is chairman of the administrative conjmittee for the School of Engineering during Dean Robert E. Vivian’s absence.
“It isn’t the least bit unusual for our four-year students to receive as many as seven or eight job offers even before graduation,” he
said, “And tgese are high salaried jobs..’ •
Nationally" the trouble stemmed from a statistical report published three years ago by the U. S. Office of Education, he explained. Graphic charts showed a projected high surplus in the field of engineering.
Bad Advice
“Naturally, when national magazines printed this information, high school counselors began warning students to avoid the overcrowded fields, he said - “This was a terrible mistake, .and only now are steps being initiated to correct it.
Giving a picture of the, present national prospects are these graduate and projected graduate totals: ’49—50,000; ’50—50.000; ’51—38.000; ’52—26..000; '53—20.000; '54—17,000; This does not allow for military requirements.
