ated since 1937, is a central information agency for government
units throughout the world and promotes effective government administration.
The SC School of Public Administration, with a student body of more than 1500, is the largest of its kind in the nation. It offers both professional training for careers in public service and in-service study for employees wishing to complete their education. A Civic Center division is maintained to make classes easily available to the 50,000 public employees of this area.
Special Studies
A municipal management training program includes special studies for city managers and trainees in public works, health, law enforcement, and fire administration. SCs Delinquency Control Institute for officers dealing with juveniles is the only one of its kind.
SC faculty members have served as consultants in establish-
ing public administration pro- I Port Author
grams in Brazil, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and the Philippines.
Two deans have headed the school in the past 25 years. The first, Dr. Emery E. Olson, left SC in 1953 to become executive vice president of Sterling Electric Motors Inc. of Los Angeles. He was succeeded by Dr. Henry Reining Jr., a member of the faculty since 1947.
Went To Turkey
Dean Olson was a member of Barker economic Mission to Turkey in 1950 for the International Bank for Reconstruction. He is a former president of the California State Personnel Board.
Dean Reining wras for ten years educational director of the National Institute for Public Affairs in Washington, D.C. He formerly was on the faculty of Princeton University, was a management consultant in New York, and was an executive of the New York
were Stafford L. Warren, dean of the School of Medicine at UCLA; Dr. Walter MacPherson, dean of the School of Medicine at the College of Medical Evangelists, and Wilton L. Halverson, associate dean of the School of Public Health at UCLA.
In the statement the deans volunteered the services of their medical faculties to “assist the city administration in every possible way to cope with this urgent situation.”
The medical authorities advised the city that the continued unprecedented and unforeseen population growth in the Los Angeles area has overloaded many of the sewage line and disposal plants, and other municipal facilities.
The deans spoke of this hazard as “matter of increasing concern to the entire medical community.”
“In rapidly growing sections of the city, sewage has overflowed into dry river beds, low places, and even onto the streets where children play nearby. This situation is of grave concern to everyone who recognizes the danger of the spread of intestinal diseases,” they said.
The statement was submitted to Mayor Norris Poulson ,City Health Officer George M. Uhl and the City Council.
DR. HAWLEY
. . . "the 4th R"
dent life was a main facet in his Oxy talk, she said. He pointed out that the YWCA gives students the opportunity to see the purpose of life.
“People need to determine a vocation rather than a profession,” Hawley told Miss Crawford. His definition of a vocation is “one’s total aim in life,” while profession he says is “one way of expressing an aim.”
A Privilege
Representatives from the Pacific Southwest Regional Student Council, YMCA-YWCA, said it is a privilege to make available to colleges and universities in the area the services of Dr. Hawley.”
“Dr. Hawley is deeply concerned about the divorce of tht mind and the spirit,” they said.
“He has a way of hitting you right between the eyes,” said a Cal-Tech student who recently heard him.
It’s fun to talk to people and see how they think he will develop his topic, according to Y-advisor Ruth Grant.
“I’ve never heard a speaker recently that speaks student language and who speaks to the needs of students as much as Dr. Hawiey,” she said.
“I’m sure hearing Dr. Hawley will be a stimulating experience,” said Counselor of Women Edwarda White.
Exciting Discussion
“Having had experience in classwork at the Chicago School of Divinity, I know what kind of exciting discussions the students there hav^” she said.
Chaplain Clinton Neyman feels “we are privileged to have him on campus today.”
Nelson Wants
SC Rooters To Back Team.
Harry Nelson, student activities advisor, asked Trojan rooters to “back our team and not tear down UCLA’s team” in tonight’s basketball game with the Bruins at Long Beach City College.
“Yell just as hard as the next guy,” he said, “but in order to keep our good relationship with the Bruins be courteous.” He said the association between SC and UCLA is one of the few good relationships between any two rival universities in the country.” Any poor conduct at an athletic function would completely sever our athletic relationship,” Nelson said. ----------------------;—
