r. Alice Ehlers o Give Recital
Dr. Alice Ehlers, noted harpsich-rdist and Bach authority, will play free public concert in Hancock uditorium Thursday at 8:30 p.m. She will offer Bach’s “Goldberg ariations" as her faculty recital for he summer.
These variations were composed by Bach for his contemporary and colleague Goldberg, a harpsichordist who played for a patron who suffered with insommnia. The patron requested Goldberg to play hour after hour, and the assignment soon became tiresome to Goldberg as harpsichord compositions were limited.
In turn Goldberg asked Bach to ontribute compositions for the arpsichord, and the Goldberg var-tions, numbering 33, resulted.
Teachers, All Kinds, Wanted
The demand for teachers in Lx>s Angeles county—especially in the elementary grades—continues to grow, according to Dr. C. C. Trillingham, county superintendent of schools.
Increased birth rates, and the influx of out-of-state defense workers have combined to create the need for more teachers.....
“Our greatest shortage of teachers,” said Dr. Trillingham, “is still in the lower elementary grades and we are still faced with the fact that California teacher-training institutions are training only two elementary candidates for every five that are needed, but they are training five secondary teachers for every two that are needed." But as the wave of increased school population reaches high school, more secondary teachers will be in demand.
“The schools,” said the super-
DR
C. TRILLINGHAM much demand
intendent, “have made a phenomenal growth and will continue to expand in enrollments and need for teachers, according to the best estimates based upon population trends.”
Over 30.000 teachers and administrators were certified and employed in Los Angeles county during the 1949-50 school year, according to Dr. Trillingham. Thus represents an increase of nearly 3000 over the preceding year;-Only 1508 teachers were employed in Los Angeles county during 1950 with emergency credentials. This is the lowest figure in recent years. To head off a return to more serious shortages, the superintendent indicated that salaries and working conditions must be improved to keep pace with living costs, as well as lucrative offers of employment by business and industry.

HARRIS-ed SC coeds aren’t only fleeing from the fumes last Friday morning.
by Alice Katem
Eighty-three residents of Harris Plaza, campus dormitory, discovered early Friday morning that there can be worse things than making an 8 o’clock class. Sulphur dioxide fumes and the clanging of fire engines routed them out of their beds at 6 a.m.
There were a few minutes of consternation and panic, but with the realization that everyone was safely out of the building and that the fumes escaping from a basement refrigeration unit were being battled, the incident turned to one of mirth.
There was a general survey of the states of dress and undress on Exposition boulevard, and a quick patting of hair when a battery of newspaper reporters and photographers descended on the crowd to make hay of the situation.....
The four-storied apartment house is used by graduate women during the regular semester, and houses visiting faculty members in the summer.
Heroine of the day was Mrs. Alice Gelwicks, housemother, who after attempting to descend to the
