“Because of the combined drive, we will have a larger goal to reach this year,” Nace warned.

Year
Mar. 25, 26 Set As Closed Nights
ASSC Vice President Joan Price reminded all campus groups yesterday that Friday and Saturday evening, Mar. 25 and 26, are closed nights for all social events.
The YWCA Carnival is set for Friday night and the Panhellenic Formal is on Saturday.
A 64-page booklet containing the home address and local telephone number of every SC undergraduate student is planned for the fall semester, the student directory committee of the Greater University Committee revealed yesterday.
Headed by cochairmen Caroline Wilson and Carl Strobel, committee members are currently collecting advertising for the booklet, which is expected to sell for a quarter.
Supplement Address Cards
“This booklet should supplement the often inaccessible student address cards in the Student Union,” Strobel said. ‘The home address, something the address cards do not generally have, will be valuable for mailing Christmas cards. It will also permit one student to contact another during vacations or over the summer.”
The booklet will carry the student’s year in school to permit easier identification.*
Miss Wilson started work on the booklet last semester after several elected ASSC officers had included it as part of their platform.
Should Sell Well
“We feel there is great enthusiasm for such a booklet,” ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne said.
He added that it should sell well because of the number of people that approved of the idea in the last ASSC election.
‘It should certainly make it easier for Trojans to get dates since they won’t have to ask for phone number,” Van Alstyne mentioned in listing the benefits.
The Greater U is also making} plans for a party for the Variety Boys Club.
The club, made up of boys of all ages from the Boyle Heights area, will be treated to food and games by the GUC. About 40 boys are expected to attend.
