time, Asa V. Call, president of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., was named board president. The president is the active, guiding officer of the board. The post of chairman is more or less an honorary one.

Architect Frank Wright to Talk Here June 29
Sharp - tongued Frank Lloyd Wright, 85-year-old dean of American architects, will give a lecture in BoveJW Auditorium June 29 at 8:15 p.m. It was announced Friday by the SC School of Architecture.
Wright’s talk, co-sponsonod by the L. A. Municipal Art Patrons and Municipal Arts Department along with the School of Architecture, will be open to the general public.
Tickets are on sale at the SC ticket office, second floor Student Union, for $2.75 and $1.75. Wright is donating his services as lecturer, and net proceeds from the event will be used to defray costs of his life’s work exhibit which is currently being displayed in Barnsdall Park, Vermont at Hollywood Boulevard, in Los Angeles.
This exhibit, now playing to some 700 persons daily, has been shown in six foreign countries and to 75,000 persons in New York last fall. The West coa6t showing will last through July 11.
Wright’s lecture in Bovard auditorium comes on the heels of his biting remarks about Southland architecture and Los Angeles life made here several weeks ago.
In his lecture Wright is expected to amplify his critical comments on freeways, decentralization, and architectural trends and "borrowings.”
In addition to being one of the world’s leading architects and a severe critic of modern-day architecture, Wright is also noted for his modesty.
Recently, when on the stand in a courtroom, Wright was asked who the world's greatest architect was. He replied, “I am.”
When later asked by a friend why he failed to show any modesty in his answer to the question, Wright said, “I couldn’t tell a lie. I was under oath.”
General Assembly Scheduled Tomorrow
Some 7000 students took their first trek to classes this morning as the first day of the 1954 summer session began what should be an event-packed week.
Tomorrow at noon in Bovard Auditorium the first general assembly of the session will take place, with Phillip M.
Hauser, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, speaking on ‘‘The Lag Between Social Science and Social Engineering.” Lillian Steuber, professor in the SC School of Music will add lo the program with piano selec-. tions.
