IDYLLWILD MEET URGES UNITY ON ROW
(Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series on the fraternity president’s conference held at Idyllwild retreat this past weekend. The heads of nearly 30 houses met with administration officials and IFC officers to work out answers to basic problems plaguing fraternities. Today's article tells of conclusions reached by the officers in the field of scholarship and finance.)
Need for the two intangibles of unity and cooperation among SC fraternities was doubly stressed at the Idyllwild conference last weekend. Presidents from nearly every house on the Row had a chance to compare notes, both formally on scheduled panels and informally in late evening bull sessions. The conclusion seemed to be that ail 33 houses face the sr.me basic problems—problems which can best be mot with concerted action.
Aided by keynote ta:!;s by administration officials Dean ol Students Clinton Neyman, Counselor of Men j Robert Gordon and Inter-Fraternity Coordinator Larry
Courtney, the bulk of the work was done on a fraternity-to-fraternity level. Four panels, composed of seven men each, hassled over common problems of scholarship, finances, rushing and public relations. Their answers will be presented to the administration and to the Inter-Fraternity Council as a guide for action.
With the announcement by the university that new and stiffer scholastic requirements will go into effect this fall, fraternities have acquired a new awareness of their responsibility to members as to grades.
Scholarship should be developed both on the house level and on an individual level, representatives felt. Fraternities are currently rated on grades, but several panels felt competition scholastically should be broken down into divisions.
Arguing that houses with 90 or 100 members feel they don’t have a chance competing with small houses, it was suggested that divisions be made into houses under 30,
houses between 30 and 50 and houses more than 50. with trophies and recognition going to winners of each group.
Similar awards within houses, perhaps involving a small scholarship as already practiced by at least one fraternity, would supplement the first plan.
Many houses already have study hours for pledges, with enforced quiet hours during the study time. Stricter enforcement, and the expansion of some such plans to actives, was offered as another way to emphasize studying on the personal level.
The newly initiated graduate scholastic adviser plan came in for praise by the several fraternities which hjrve adopted it. Under the program, a graduate student lives in the house and helps undergraduates with their studies, receiving compensation both from the house and the university.

ORIGINS REVEALED
Campus Buildings Boast of Tradition

By GAYLE MOSS
Who were the people after whom many of SC's buildings were named? Why have they received the honor of having their names associated with an outstanding library, school of philosophy or administration building?
Standing at the northern end of University Ave. and gazing down its shaded, tree - lined paths, one may notice that most of the buildings along SC's main thoroughfare are named for specific persons. This article 1 will tell the stories behind those names.
Founders Hall
Immediately to the right can be seen a modern, functional four - storied structure called Founders Hall. This classroom and faculty office building was dedicated in 1950 to the three men who gave the first plots of land to the university, Ozro W. Childs. John G. Downey and Isaias W. Heilman.
Halfway down the avenue and also to the right is Bovard Administration Building. This large edifice with its imposing tower was built in 1919-1921 and was named for George Finley Bo-* one of the most beautiful cov vaid, the fourth president of lege buildings in America. Mudd SC.
Directly across the avenue and set back of a large square of park highlighted by a cen-, tral fountain, is the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library. Marble-trimmed and filled with thousands of books and other information sources, it was dedicated and opened on Sept. 12, 1932.
The building was given to SC j by the Doheny family in memory of Mr. Doheny, w ho was the j first president of the modern Alumni Association of SC anu a member of the Board of Trus- j tees.
Steel Tower Crown
A large building, crowned . with a steel tower is on the , left, just past Doheny Library. | This is the home of the tele- ! communications department and many science courses, and is called the Allan Hancock Foun- j dation Building.
Hancock Foundation
It was donated by Capt. Allan Hancock, who has been a member of the Board of Trustees for many years and still supports the Allan Hancock , Foundation for Scientific Re- 1 search. The building dates from 1939-40.
Also on the left and near the j end of the street stands Bridge I Hall, the School of Commerce. This structure dates back lo | 1928, was dedicated in 1930 and was named in memory of Dr.' and Mrs. Norman W. Bridge, who gave SC many gifts.
Mudd Memorial Hall
At the end of University Ave. ! and on the right can be seen
Memorial Hall of Philosophy.

Alumni Name Review Head
Veteran Newsman Brings Wide Experience to Position
By ANDY ARLOTTO
Thirty veal's ago. George C. Jordan sat behind the editor’s desk of the Daily Trojan. Today he s editor of the SC Alumni Review and an advertising-public illations consultant.
The years spanning Jordan's return to SC have been full ones —full of adventure.
Veteran newspaperman Jordan stretched back in his chair and reminisced about a Troy of 30 years past. He noted. “The Daily Trojan i* vastly superior to the paper we put out in ’27. The journalism vlmol wasn’t nearl\ the si/e it is now.”
Upon graduation from SC, Jordan went to work for the Ventura Star and from there, on to the copy desk of the Wash-
ington Star. “I've always had an] the Spanish Revolution,” Jordan
i reflected, “and almost met the I tiring squad.” He explained that { he* was sent by the AP to inter-* view the Communist leaders of the “International Brigade” at Albacete. From there he was to go to the siege of Madrid. Returns to California “Hearing this.’’ he frowned, “these farmers were all for ! shooting me on the spot." A bit of fast talking saved him. The ^ next day Jordan was on his way ; back to Valencia. He finally 1 reached MadriJ \ia car from the American embassy.
“The Spanish Revolution \vs* an idiot's nightmare, a revolu- I
affinity for Stars." he grinned.
The Associated Press and Byron Price was Jordan's next whistle stop. "Price had the idea that the AP's Washington Bureau was the finishing school for journalists,” he recalled.
Keds Gum I p Plans Familiarity with the Spanish language swept the young reporter on to the coverage of Latin American representatives in Washington. His facility with .Spanish was finally to gainer for Jordan the position of AP Chile Bureau Chief in '33.
The \ear 1936 found the cor-
respondent covering the League j tion and civil war all packed in of Nations.	j one,” Jordan commented.
“From there I went to report' Jordan left Spain, journeyed
to Italy for two years and then returned to the U.S., just in time for World War II. During the war he worked as an AP editor, Minneapolis Star editor and ventured into public relations and advertising. For eight years he had his own advertising-publicity agency.
In 1953 Jordan returned to California for the first time since 1929. He set up his own agency which he operated for three years. Pasadena Play House was his principal client its enrollment doubled in its drama college while he handled the account.
Leaving Pasadena Play House in 1956. the SC journalist returned to Trov and became editor of the Alumni Review.
The Trojan Young Republi-can Club will begin its activities j for 1957 tonight when a del3ga- ' tion of members, which is the -largest ever to come from a student Young Republican group, meets with the YR County Executive Committee at the Statler Hotel.

Japanese Geologist Studies Sea Shelf Deposits at Troy

This is the Japanese scientist’s second trip to the U. S. He worked at Scripps’ Institute of Oceanography two years ago.
Dr. ‘ Niino is working on the largest scale study of the epicontinental shelf in histon fore coming to the U. S 1956, he gathered 2000 samples of epicontinental sediments marking the point on a geological map w here each sample was taken.
He will leave the U. S. May of this year to do marine geology in research off the coast of Argentina. Before the end of 1957 he will have taken samples off the coast of Antarctica also.
Although he spends a great deal of his time traveling about the world. Dr. Niino is associated with the University of Tokyo, the University of Tokyo Fisheries and the Hydrographic Office.
He says that only one in 20 students in Japan goes from high school to college and that the examination to enter a university is extremely difficult. He "will make up the entrance exam for next spring.
