LAS decals are to go on sale today for 15 cents and at the last minute it was discovered the council hadn’t made provisions to get rid of money expected from the sale. So it huddled.
Results of the meeeing are not known, but on the word of LAS Chairman Elliott Wolfe, you can expect proceeds of the sale to go to a charitable cause.
The decals can be bought from LAS councilmen, today or tomorrow, at a booth set up in front of the Student Union.

THIS YOUNG LADY does not go to SC, but she couldn’t resist the temptation to join the beach-bound throngs seeking escape from yesterday's heat wave. Many Trojans followed Actress Corrine Calvet's ¡¿sad in beating the heat if today's sunburned faces on campus are any indication.
86° Heat Drives Students' to Surf
It was “Lets go to the Beach” day yesterday.
The sun burned down, the temperature went up, and the more fortunate students fled to the beaches.
The weatherman, in a special dispatch to the Daily Trojan, reported an 86 degree high—the hottest Mar. 23 since 1926—in Los Angeles and a 64 degree high at Santa Monica. The water was “real cool”—54 degrees.
Ray Hopkins, freshman gave a first hand account of beach conditions and reported the water to be “cold,” the weather to be
“nice,” and the beach “full of college kids.”
Other students, who were unlucky enough to remain on campus, also expressed their views of the weather.
Dick Chapman, sophomore yell leader, expressed the general feeling on campus' when he said, “It’s hot.”
Perhaps the most startling statement, however, came from two drama co-eds, Sue Brown and Kathy Adams, who, when asked about the weather, an-ewered, “It’s frosty, man!”
APX Tops Fraternity Grade Point Averages
Grade point averages released yesterday by Ken Shanks, interfraternity coordinator, revealed that the average for all men was 1.36 as compared to an average of 1.24 for fraternity men.
Phi Delta Chi had the greatest improvement, two-tenths of a grade point, and will receive the Sigma Chi scholarship trophy. Alpha Tau Omega won this honor last year. Alpha Rho Chi, with a 1.501 average, will receive the IFC award for the highest house average. _
Following are the fraternities listed in the order of their averages.
Alpha Rho Chi, 1.501; Alpha Epsilon Pi, 1.44; Phi Delta Chi,
1.42; Tau Delta Phi, 1.39; Delta Tau Delta, 1.39; Zeta Beta Tau, 1.39; Phi Sigma Kappa, 1.37; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1.33; Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1.33; Acacia, 1.32; Kappa Sigma, 1.30; Phi Delta Theta, 1.30; Theta Xi, 1.29; Beta Theta Pi, 1.29;* Sigma Phi Delta, 1.29.

Official
Notice
Students who plan to qualify for admissions to the School of Pharmacy in September, 1953, are requested to file application with the office of admissions by Apr. 15.
D. P. Ketenn Assistant Director of Admissions
Sir Frederick Charles Bartlett, j director of the psychological laboratory of Cambridge university, England, will give a public lecture tonight at 8 in 226 FH.
He will speak on “Psychology i in the United Kingdom” before a | meeting of the Soufhern Califor-! nia Psychological association.
He is the former editor of the 1 British Journal of Psychology and I author of numerous books in his field.
Science Enters Field “Many changes have taken place in the field of psychology since the end of World War II,” Sir Frederic said. “The science has assumed a far more important role.”
“As one of the biological sciences, psychology has been developed to a point where it is as scientific as physics or engineering,” he said.
There are three main psychological research groups at Cambridge;
1—Scientific research;
2—Medical research;
3—Problems of the aging.
“Major gains have been made
in this third category,” he said, “principally in the problems of the middle-aged groups.”
Although this category includes a study of individuals from the ages of 20 to 70 years, most of the Cambridge research to date has been in the age area of 45 to 60.
Receives Award
Sir Frederic is the only psychologist to have received the coveted Royal Medal for outstanding achievement. It was aawrded for personal research and for his work in building up the Cambridge psychology department. The department is regarded as part of the Medical school.
His current visit to the Southland universities is being sponsored by the Air Research Development command of the U.S. Air Force.
of Wordsworth and Coleridge.
He will report on the general impressions acquired while living in England from August to November of last year. He also spent a number of.months on the continent, returning to the United States this February.
“I noticed considerable construction was in progress,” he said, “and I w-as told the food situation is better than any time since the end of the war.”
Meat is the only major item on England’s ration list, he said. Sweeps and- eggs were taken off rationing c.r.ct he returned to this country.
“The general spirit in England is good,” he said. “The average Britisher seems to quite appreciate American aid and interest in England and the countries of Europe.”
There is little talk of the possibilities of a third world war, he said.
“When they do discuss it, it is quickly dismissed. It is so uncertain and unpredictable,” he concluded.
Final Hay Fever' Staging Tonight
“Hay Fever,” the three act Noel Coward comedy which has been playing at Bovard this week, will close its five-night run tonight. The final performance begins at 8:30.
Tickets are available at the box iffice for $1 and 50 cents'. Activity book holders may attend admission free.

‘Broken Arrow,’ Indian Epic, to Be Seen at Film Classics Tonight
Cochise and Geronimo, Indian chiefs who spread terror and death in the West of 1870, don their war paint and ride again tonight as “Broken Arrow” flashes on the screen of 133 FH at 7:45.
Considered by critics to be one of the best Westerns to come out of Hollywood in recent years “Broken ^rrow” is the fifth movie to be shown in the film classics series.
The film, made in 1950, stars James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget.
According to Roger Caras, program chairman,xit is in the recent-trend to bring Western films back up to a high adult level. “High Noon,” winner of several academy awards for 1952, is an example of this trend to restore Westerns to the position they once held.
“Broken Arrow,” based, on Elliott Arnold’s “Blood Brothers,” was filmed at the White River Apache reservation in Arizona, and is one of the few movies treating the Indians with authenticity.
“Irishmen, Scots, Negroes, Indians, Italians, and all other nationalities have been stereotyped in motion pictures,” Caras said, “but this film shows the Indian as he actually was.
“As for authenticity,” he said, “Debra Paget even wore contact lenses to make her eyes the correct color.”
Club to Hear PR Officer
Kenneth F. Temple, public relations officer of the Los Angeles district Immigration service, will speak before the Intercultural club this afternoon 3:15 to 5 in the International Lounge, SU.
Temple will inform international students of their responsibilities, opportunities, and visa necessities. plus a clear explanation of the McCarran Act.
The Immigration and Nationality act, generally known as the McCarran act, is an extensive document which brings within one comprehensive statute all laws relating to immigration and naturalization, according to Dr. Michael Saleh, chairman of the program - sponsoring education committee of the Intercultural club.
“Many people are interested in educational exchange programs and would like to have a real guide to the new law (McCarran Act),” said Saleh. The act, which is Public Law 414, touches on different phases such as its relation to students, their eligibility for study and industrial training.

Extempore Speakers to Meet Today
Speech students from nine Western states schools will air their views again today as the Pacific Forensic league moves into the second day of competition.
The speech battles for today are iri the extemporaneous division and each of the nine league schools have submitted a contestant. The topic for yesterday’s debators was whether Congress should enact a compulsory fair employment practices law.
Forensic
In last night’s competition, the University of Oregon ¿earn of Donold Mickelwait and Phil Cass placed first. Stanford was second. SC tied for third with Arizona, Oregon State and Washington.
Extempore speakers will compete this afternoon in th epre-liminary match, with the finals being held tonight in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library.
The oratorical contest will be held tomorrow and the conference will wind up Thursday with the After-Dinner Speaking contest.
Annual Meet
The members of the league gather annually and discuss problems of forensics as wen as conduct the contests. The winning speaker in each event and the school which places the most finalists will receive trophies.
Student discussion groups will also be conducted today, tomorrow, and Thursday on the subject, "How can we most effectively combat the threat of communism?” Faculty members will listen in on the sessions and criticize discussion methods.
The speaking activities will be climaxed by a banquet Thursday evening at Ciro’s and the highlight of the program will be the finals of the After-Dinner Speaking contest.
29th Renewal
Dale Drum, SC speech teacher and secretary of the league, said that the convention was the 29th, and that the meeting site rotates yearly among the members of the league.
“Although our annual contest isn’t actually so important, it is more of a prestige event,” he said.
Two SC speech students, Dean Pic’l and Mohinder Bedi, last year made a clean sweep of the conclave by placing alternately first and second in every event, a feat which has never been equalled in the history of the league.
Nine Representatives
The nine representatives in the extempore speech contests today are Richard Segal, University of Arizona; Donald Sherinian, University of California; James Cost-ley, University of Idaho; Stephen Stewart, University of Nevada; Paul Ward, University of Oregon; Marvin Blace, Oregon State university; Darrell Essex, SC; Chandler Meyers, Stanford: and Terry Muliln, University of Washington.
Dr. A. E. Whitehead, Idaho, will supervise the contest.
Culture Ignored, Says Caldwell
The threat of materialism to classical studies will be discussed by Dr. RusseU L. Caldwell, associate professor of history, tomorrow noon in the -^Argonaut room of Mudd hall.
Dr. Caldwell will speak before the Classical Language club on the topic “The Classical Tradition in Modern Life.” He will attempt to show the many errors in the modern-time disregard for Greek and old world culture.
Ignores Classics “With the United States becoming so mechanized and industrialized.” Dr. CaldwellJsaid in a pre-speech interview, “the prevalent school of thought is one of specialization — almost ignoring the classics.”
“This, he said, “is a grave error.”
To prove this, he cited the de-4
mand by industrialists for graduates of Wabash college in Indiana.
“A strong emphasis on classical training is offered at this institution,” Dr. Caldwell said, “and industry can’t seem to hire its graduates fast enough.”
Better Trained
Industry is beginning to realize that the classically trained scholar is better competitively than one who is specifically trained in a business field, he maintains.
“Scholars, as such, are proving of more value to industry,” he said. “This helps to disprove the importance of specialization in universities.”
As another example he will teU of the spécialization in the field of law.
“It would be difficult to find anyone in the present century
who is trained as a lawyer-states-man,” he said. “There is no present day equal to the great lawyers of the classical period of American law”
He refers to the period from the American revolution to the American Civil War.
• Classic Lawyers “The lawyers of today are trained specialists,” he said, “and have not taken the time to study the classics.”
This is necessitated by the types of questions on bar examinations, he said.
“In California, for example there is a tendency for the scholars to fail the bar examinations.’ he said. “Those with ability* for details are passed.”
Present examinations are frequently the enemy of scholarly enterprise, he said.

Considered by critics to be one of the best Westerns to come out of Hollywood in recent years “Broken ^rrow” is the fifth movie to be shown in the film classics series. The film, made in 1950, stars James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget. According to Roger Caras, program chairman,xit is in the recent-trend to bring Western films back up to a high adult level. “High Noon,” winner of several academy awards for 1952, is an example of this trend to restore Westerns to the position they once held. “Broken Arrow,” based, on Elliott Arnold’s “Blood Brothers,” was filmed at the White River Apache reservation in Arizona, and is one of the few movies treating the Indians with authenticity. “Irishmen, Scots, Negroes, Indians, Italians, and all other nationalities have been stereotyped in motion pictures,” Caras said, “but this film shows the Indian as he actually was. “As for authenticity,” he said, “Debra Paget even wore contact lenses to make her eyes the correct color.” Club to Hear PR Officer Kenneth F.

Caldwell, associate professor of history, tomorrow noon in the -^Argonaut room of Mudd hall. Dr. Caldwell will speak before the Classical Language club on the topic “The Classical Tradition in Modern Life.” He will attempt to show the many errors in the modern-time disregard for Greek and old world culture. Ignores Classics “With the United States becoming so mechanized and industrialized.” Dr. CaldwellJsaid in a pre-speech interview, “the prevalent school of thought is one of specialization — almost ignoring the classics.” “This, he said, “is a grave error.” To prove this, he cited the de-4 mand by industrialists for graduates of Wabash college in Indiana. “A strong emphasis on classical training is offered at this institution,” Dr. Caldwell said, “and industry can’t seem to hire its graduates fast enough.” Better Trained Industry is beginning to realize that the classically trained scholar is better competitively than one who is specifically trained in a business field, he maintains. “Scholars, as such, are proving of more value to industry,” he said. “This helps to disprove the importance of specialization in universities.” As another example he will teU of the spécialization in the field of law. “It would be difficult to find anyone in the present century who is trained as a lawyer-states-man,” he said. “There is no present day equal to the great lawyers of the classical period of American law” He refers to the period from the American revolution to the American Civil War. • Classic Lawyers “The lawyers of today are trained specialists,” he said, “and have not taken the time to study the classics.” This is necessitated by the types of questions on bar examinations, he said. “In California, for example there is a tendency for the scholars to fail the bar examinations.’ he said. “Those with ability* for details are passed.” Present examinations are frequently the enemy of scholarly enterprise, he said.
