Bruin Is Just Paper in Hands Of Tom Trojan
Tommy Trojan’s little Bruin friend has departed, with the assistance of Don Killian, Knight president.
The tattered crepe paper Bruin, a remnant of UCLA’s political campaigns, was taken down from his perch on Tommy Trojan's sword yesterday afternoon when Killian, after failing to re-i ceive help from O and M, shinnied up the statue and unhooked the Bruin.
The Bruin was found attached to Tommy Trojan yesterday morning, and it was learned yesterday afternoon that pledges of Beta Theta Pi lifted the little rascal from the Westwood cam-. pus Monday night. It was an advertisement on the UCLA Row to vote in their elections.
The figure, composed of a wooden frame, chicken wire, and > crepe paper, was attached to j Tommy's neck and right hand by a wire. He wore blue pants, and a yellow cap. and looked a little worse for the wear after his jaunt from Westwood to University avenue.

EL ROD PREVIEW is given Hugh Carey Willett, director of admissions, by Fred Harper, editor of the yearbook. The '51 El Rodeo, dedicated to Dr. Willett, made its appearance today, one month ahead of time at which it normally appears. There are 460 pages in the book, all but 100 pages in two colors.
Improved El Rod Out Today
The El Rodeo—Troy’s event recorder—will make its yearly appearance today.
Holders of activity books may obtain the El Rod at the service office, next to the information office.
Highlighting the 460 pages of the El Rodeo are sections devoted to organizations, sports, student activities, and candid photos.
Emphasizing the “new look" in year books, the El Rod has angled cuts, pastels, more pictures, and less copy. According to Editor Fred Harper, all except 100 pages are in t^o colors.
Work was begun last June by Harper and Layout Editor Dave Durst. Contracts were signed in August and full staff work was begun in September.
Art work was completed in December and the layouts finished in March. The completed dummy was sent to the print shop in April.
Students who have lost their activity books will have to wait until June 1 to obtain their El Rodeos. On that date ,a form accredited by the credit office may be shown to get El Rods, according to the ticket office.
Available a month ahead of the schedule, the El Rod was delivered a day late because the business office deemed counting of the books necessary.
Samples of modern layout work of the book, which is dedicated to Hugh C. Willet, retiring director of admissions, have been on display for several weeks in Doheny library.
