Barbara college will be given the opportunity to actively participate in the shaping of the world for future generations, starting May 5 and continuing until May 10.

Scholars in foreign countries which have been torn and dev­astated by war need help to ob­tain clothing, textbooks, lodging, and urgently needed medical sup­plies. The medium through which this will be brought about is the World Students Service Fund, an organization dedicated to assist people throughout the world in their search for education.

Our concept of war is radically divergent from that which left an indelible impression u pon th e

A total of $2,000,000 has been set as the goal for the W SSF this year, half of that amount to be donated by America, since it was least affected materially by the war. It is up to the students of America, as the future leaders of this country, to take the initiative in aiding these students with whom they have a common bond, the desire for an education.

flowers were much in evidence at the recreation center last Friday night when the Associated Student Body sponsored a formal dance from 9 to 12 p.m.

Attended by a capacity crowd, the affair featured the announce­ment of engagements at intervals during the evening by master of ceremonies Ed Morris. The newly- engaged couples were in the spot­light for a few minutes, and the girls were presented with a nose­gay corsage.

the awarding of a gold cup by Morris to Elsie Tatum, president of Delta Zeta Delta, for having entered the best decorated um­brella in the contest. This soror­ity’s entry was covered with white lacy crepe paper, red roses and green leaves completing the dec­orative effect. Billie Kneeland

In the center of the dance floor was a quaint little wishing well built of white picket fencing cov­ered with flowers. A big sign in­vited guests to make a wish for one cent, and apparently many students took advantage of the well’s mystic promise for the fu­ture. In the lounge, cherry punch was served to the many students and to the patrons attending.

A huge beach umbrella decorated on the underside was in the patio. According to social chairman Wil­lie Wigger, the success of the dance was due in large part to her hard working committee, consist­ing of Bee Gee Zink, Barbara Brown, Barbara Balthis, Minnie Belle Holver, Gloria Morgan, Hel­en and Jerry Terres, Shirley Cook, Eileen Dismuke, A1 Anderson, Laura Goetke, and Lois Vedder.

Roadrunner Aims At Former Peaks

Santa Barbara College’s tra­ditional ROADRUNNER REVUE, originated in 1931, elicited the following simple paragraph in that year’s La Cumbre:

“The Roadrunner Revue” was an evening program sponsored by the College Players and included besides dancing and songs two one act plays: ‘The Killers’ and ‘Rosencrantz and Guildernstern’.”

O ff Cam pus ProductionBy 1935, however, the annual

musical event had risen to prom­inence. Amid pages of pictures and glowing descriptions of the various events of the program, appeared the paragraph:

“With enthusiastic applause as the dazzling moving band plat­form rolled forward playing the overture, ‘Hell’s Bell’s,’ the an­nual Roadrunner Revue was of­ficially opened on May 9, 1935, in the spacious Fox Arlington Theatre, the first time a student production had been taken o ff the campus.”

The program included “beau­tiful orchestrations, O r i e nt a 1 tal chorus, the Lollypop Chorus, the Anemic Acrobats, the hilarious team of Gammil and Williams, etc.”

P eak a t 194 0By 1940, the Revue had reached

its peak; it presented original music, an original script, and was the “newest and most unusual in years.”

One feature of the Roadrunner Revue which is a perennial “must” is the introducing of past direc­tors of or participants in other Revues.

This year, the ROADRUNNER REVUE will appear on May 15 and 16, in the Riviera auditorium, acording to Stan Schwartz who is handling the show. The theme for the production has not been an­nounced, but the staff is aiming at that 1940 popularity peak.

The theme for the 1947 Road­runner Revue will be “Gay Nine­ties.” According to Stan Schwartz, director, the show will feature familiar sights, familiar faces, glimpses of familiar places.

hands above the table” Morris blushed, and hastily changed the subject. Pressed once again for an inkling as to the nature of the pictures, Master Moms swallowed hard and stammered, “It’s hard to say, but I guess they’re educa­tional . . . if you know what I mean.”

G reat P erfo rm ersThe entertainment will include

top-notch performers of both local and national fame. On the pro­gram will be Johnny Romero, a comedy juggler and pantominist; Bedt Henderson, impressionist and impersonator from the Golden Gate theater in San Francisco; and Maldo the Magician, famous Santa Barbara juggler and magi­cian.

Comedy skits wall be given by the board members, and Bill Adaza will introduce the cham­pionship intra-mural basketball team. Larry Sanchez and his or­chestra will furnish the musical entertainment.

D oor P rizesThere will be twelve door prizes

given, ranging from free tickets to local theaters to two free dinners at Mom’s Italian Village. Also two $5.00 cash prizes will be awarded.

General chairman of the smoker is Bob Shipman, social chairman of the AMS. Ed Morris will pre­side as master , of ceremonies. Danny “the duke from party time all the time” Alcala and Chuck Roberson have founded up the en­tertainment. Cal R e y n o l d s is handling publicity. . Bob “Alpha Thete” Bowman is also rumored to have assisted in some minor capacity. Bob Moreland has been relegated to the position of chief cuspidorian, while Bill Kiggins and A1 Schab will comprise the clean­up details.

All men are invited to come out for an evening of fun by Owen Van Buskirk, AMS president.

Dr. Christy Attends Utah Conference

Dr. Van A. Christy has just re­turned from a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he attended the California Western Music Educa­tors Conference and gave an ad­dress on “Choral Music.” He served also as a member of a panel on Teacher Training for Musicians.

Dr. Christy is the chairman of the music department at the Uni­versity of California, Santa Bar­bara college, and has been for the past two years vice-president of the California Western Music Ed­ucators, southern section.

A delegation of music instruc­tors from the Santa Barbara pub­lic schools also attended, consist­ing of Miss Josephine Murrey, Mf. and Mrs. Roderick Mount, Miss Viola Barak and Miss Virginia Sa­ber.

slumbering beast is slowly, how­ever hestitatingly, turning over after a ̂^ ive

his views for publication.

Since returning to the editorial desk a year ago, I have been the receipient of a stream of meaning­less banter, shallow caustic com­ments, and unconstructive crit­icisms from a host of “wheels” on campus, concerning my manage­ment and editorial policies of El Gaucho. I apply the above adjec­tives to such small talk because the speakers make it obvious it has been nothing but small talk by being afraid of being quoted. None have felt their challenges valid enough to put them in writ­ing.

On the face of the issue, Gaucho tradition is a question . . . no one has any intention of dictating or enforcing it under the present day campus conditions. The letters which the controversial editorial incited will save space on that subject being used in future El Gauchos, since the opinions of the “naturalized” Gauchos have now been heard.

Last spring a series of these school spirit editorials was run, with the object of perhaps arous­ing action on the part of old-tim­ers, returned Gauchos to whom the old spirit and traditions might still be memory-fresh. But there was no response. Our allegation that Santa Barbara College is dy­ing still holds true when applied to pre-war status. This, in effect, is a rank understatement . . . pre-

war Gaucholand is not dying . , . it’s dead.

The reason has become very ob­vious during the past year. The spirit of Old Gaucho is dead be­cause intra-campus opposition is dead. Democratic government, ap­plied to a country, state, or school, is non-functional when all opposi­tion spirit dies with the counting of the election ballots. Since the war began no one has ever heard again from a candidate after be­ing defeated at a student body election.

While a functioning opposition party is found in the legislative bodies of every present day effec­tive democracy, there is no op­position bloc in the Gaucho stu­dent council. Truly, issues of con­troversial nature are presented for cautious discussion, with some at­tention paid to all sides. But dur­ing this discussion, furtive glances to the right or left seek signs of opinion from other members pres­ent. As soon as it seems evident that 51 percent have made up their minds, skulls are cracked and limbs broken as the other 49 percent stampede to get on the bandwagon in time for a 100 per­cent vote, either for or against, as the case may be.

I feel there will be no valid challenge to the statement that at the present time sororities and fraternities wield the control over campus activities. They hold di­rect and effective control over student council and even El Gau­cho. Yet, among these twelve groups there is actually one in power, with eleven satellites . . . “compromise” has been the watch­word for five years now . . . and effective opposition will lie dor-

“Revive Tradition, a recent ed­itorial cries. Green beanies for freshmen, no smoking in the Quad — perhaps an occasional splash­iest in the pool, with paddling of recalcitrant individualists— or per­haps a goldfish-swallowing _ con­test or an annual flagpole-sitting — wouldn’t it be fun?

“Sure it would; but so was cow- boys-and-indians and hide-and-go- seek. A fter all, we’re grown up now; college students are sup­posed to be possessed of some de­gree of maturity. Then why not act in accordance with that ma­turity? Why act like a bunch of pre-adolescent children?

“Of course, there are also tradi­tions not involving tomfoolery and horseplay: a reverence for certain old buildings and objects; an adherence to old customs; a re­vival of old ceremonies. But why? Why such a reverence o f the past simply because it is the past? If there were intrinsic value in such traditions, something to be learned from them, they would be worth­while. But on the whole, college traditions are nothing more than a worthless mirror held up to an empty past, and— what is worse-;- blinding the view to that which is certainly much more important, the future.

“And as for enforcement of such traditions— can’t you see the

Builders Denounce Housing Legislation

Denouncing state public housing legislation now pending in Sacra­mento as “communistic in theory and practice” to the extent that it would spell “chaos for housing,” members of the Building Contrac­tors Association of California in a wire dispatched today called upon Governor Earl Warren to use his authority in an effort to prevent such legislation from becoming law.

“In the interest of veterans’ groups and the general public in ■the state who, if such legislation becomes law, would find them­selves burdened with a commun- istically-operated public housing program that could end in chaos for housing,” the message read in part.

Six New Members Formally Initiated Into Key-Scroll

F o r m a l l y initiating six new members, Key and Scroll, honor­ary women’s junior service or­ganization, met Thursday night at the home of Miss Jean Bybee, sponsor. Gertrude Gaily, presi­dent, presided and led the initia­tion ceremonies.

Newly “tapped” women wel­comed into the group were Bettie Moore, Dorothy Eichelberger, Alice Chard, June Hellewegen, Annie Lee Clements, and Betty Perkins. Brown and gold, the colors of Key and Scroll, were used extensively in carrying out the decoration theme for the initiation ceremony.

In choosing new members for Key and Scroll, a system of “tap­ping”' is used. Only outstanding college women of junior class standing who maintain a grade average of B minus are tapped or chosen for membership in this organization.

It was decided during Thurs­day’s meeting that Key and Scroll women will wear the official uni­form of the group every Wednes­day on campus. This consists of a dark brown skirt, a white blouse with “Key and Scroll” embroid­ered on the collar, and a white coat sweater.

Other business of campus-wide interest discussed during the meet­ing Thursday concerned future monthly meetings of the- three charter chapters of Key and Scroll. The Key and Scroll chap­ter on the campus o f Santa Bar­bara is one of the three charter chapters; the other chapters are on the campus of the University of Southern California and at UCLA.

Active members of Key and Scroll present at the Thursday night meeting were President Gai­ly, Jean Calderon, Sally Herbert, Jean Wright, Margaret Wheeler, Willie Wigger, June Freer, Helen Kipf, and Mary Lou Gustafson.

BASEBALL M ACH INE SPLITS TW IN BILL

A guy named Bob Elliott per­sonally pitched and batted the Gaucho baseball team to a 7-2 vic­tory in the second game of a twin bill at Cal Poly Thursday after the hosts had sneaked off with the opener. 7-3, by virtue of a 5-run blast in the first frame. The chunky right-hander had set the enemy down without a hit going into the last inning, and his ring­ing triple to deep right-center with the bases loaded in the 4th had accounted for what proved the winning margin of the game; but the Mustangs finally found the range and shelled him from the hill with four singles which, bunched with a walk and an er­ror, produced the only Poly scores. Cecil Neal came in to put out the fire without further damage.

Dale Scott started the opener for the Gauchos but was touched for four hits and five runs in the first inning. He scattered 5 more hits and gave no runs after the 3rd but the game had already been won. It was Scott’s 2nd loss of the year as against 5 wins. Mark Steinberg and Hal Abbott were high at the plate with 2 for 4. This same duo, along with Elliott

and Day, lead the stickmen in the second game also.

Traveling northward to Stock- ton for single games Friday and Saturday, the Gauchos traded wins with COP. taking the second game, 14-3, with a 17-hit barrage off three Tiger pitchers after drop­ping the preliminary contest, 5-3.

Bob Mathew chalked up his first win of the season, scattering 9 hits and walking only 2 in going the route Saturday. Bushman, Al- house, and Steinberg each pound­ed out 3 blows to lead the hitting attack. Cecil Neal lost a pitcher’s battle to McFarland Friday, the Mustang chucker giving up but 6 hits to Neal’s 9 as his mates ral­lied with a 3-run burst in the last of the 8th to come from behind for the win.

Eijeincj The SportDAMN IT, MEN, something is

drastically wrong up here on top of the hill. I don’t want to start hollering about lack of spirit, or start preaching, but UCSBC has an enrollment of about 2300 struggling students. When you go anywhere and say you are from Santa Barbara, you’re an un­known. “Oh, that’s where that teachers’ college is,” is the usual answer.

HOW DOES A COLLEGE get known? By the students of the

Relay Events Held Sat. Nite

The largest gathering of track and field athletes ever presented in Santa Barbara will meet at the La Playa Stadium for the Santa Barbara relays on the afternoon and night of Saturday, April 29.

Acceptances from 15 colleges and 15 high schools have been re­ceived raising the number of ath­letes participating to approximate­ly 60Ö. Replies to invitations sent are yet to be received from Cal Tech, Fillmore High, and Los An­geles City college.

Sponsors of the relays, the Jun­ior Chamber o f Commerce, feel that their efforts to put this track event on equal footing with other famous meets (Penn., Drake, FVes- no relays) will be rewarded.

College and high school entries thus far are:

Colleges— UCLA, Santa Barbara college. Occidental, Whittier, Ven­tura JC, Pepperdine, Riverside, E. Centro JC , Santa Ana JC , Hunt­ington Park (unattached), West­mont college, Santa Maria JC , Cal Poly, E. Los Angeles JC and San Diego.

High schools—-Santa Paula, Bon­ita (La Verne), Santa Barbara, Compton, Lompoc, San Luis Obis­po, Wilson (Santa Barbara), San­ta Maria. Long Beach Poly, Santa Vnez, Ventura. C a r p e n t e r i a , Downey, Anaheim, and Oxnard.

college making it known, and one of the easiest ways is through athletics. The sports program here at Santa Barbara college seems to be woefully lacking in material sufficient to impress even the Santa Barbara News-Press;

ONE OF THE MAIN troubles seems to be lack of funds— a change must be. made somewhere. All of the money garnered by the athletic program is put into the student body general fund, not the athletic fund. How do schools like USC and brother Bruin turn out terrific teams and get nation­wide publicity? Through a ter­rific sports program. There is no reason why Santa Barbara cannbt be a big gun in the sports picture.

TO QUOTE THE COACH of the UCLA baseball squad— “How you fellows (SBC baseball nine) keep out of the Pacific Coast League is beyond me . . . you beat all of us now. . . .”

DID YOU KNOW, MEN, that after beating the Terrible Trojans and Battlin’ Bruins there was very little publicity about the upsets by the “mediocre” Gauchos in metropolitan papers. . . . There is something wrong somewhere.

AS FOR A SOLUTION, you, the students, the athletes, the fans, should get on the ball and take some action on it. Drop into the Gaucho office and tell us your thoughts concerning the sit­uation, or leave a note for us.

5B Trackmen Break Records at San Jose, Fail to Win Meet

Although sparked by four rec­ord breaking performances, the Santa Barbara College harriers were unable to nab enough sup­porting points to garner a victory in the double-dual track meet held at San Jose last Saturday. Seven meet records- were broken and three more tied as the San Diego, San Jose, and Santa Bar­bara teams tangled in this thrill­ing meet. The numerical scores were: San Jose 87%, Santa Bar­bara 43%, and San Diego 79%, Santa Barbara 60%.

Wally Cole again broke a record when he set a new meet standard for the half mile run. He sped the distance in 1:59 sec. Ed Gra- bast, outstanding Santa Barbara weight tosser, nabbed a new meet and Santa Barbara record when he heaved the shot 49 ft. 2 in. Earl Engman also copped a record by making a leap of six feet on the high jump. The other out­standing Santa Barbara perform­ance was turned in by Gaucho mile relay team composed of Stan Moore, A1 Deline, Dick Kampman, and Wally Cole. They covered the four laps in the fine time of 3 min 27.3 sec.

SBC SW IM M ERS SWEEP C A L POLY PADDLE MEET

The postwar version of Santa Barbara College’s swimming team, under the guidance of Coach Ter­ry H. Dearborn, came through with flying colors in its first test of thp season when it defeated the Mustang Mermen by the lopsided score of 49 to 26 Friday afternoon at the Cal Poly pool in San Luis Obispo.

High point man for the victor­ious Gauchos was Jack Jardine, who won the 50-yard and the 100- yard crawls, and swam one leg of the 400-yard relay, to amass 11% points. Dave Russell and Don

Free Cigarettes THE BASEBALL GAME that

A BOX W ILL BE PUT in the “ca f” for predictions, or they will be taken in El Gaucho office. Just put the winner of the game, your guess of the score, and your name and address on a slip of paper and turn it in.

Undefeated Netmen Face SJ Spartans

The Dearborn racket wielders, so far undefeated in conference play this season, play host this af­ternoon to the San Jose State col­lege team, runners-up in last year’s conference championship.

Matches are scheduled to begin on the Municipal' Stadium Courts at 2:30, and all students are invit-, ed to witness the play. The Gau­cho’ line-up is expected to include Bob Wright, Morton Dewhirst, Captain Alan Cobbe, George Man- set, Bob Slover, and either Don Tully or Bob Blake.

Humphreys tied for second honors with 8 points each, for a win and second place in tire 440-yard and 220-yard races respectively. All three of these men are freshmen.

F iv e F irstsOf the nine events in the dual

meet, Santa Barbara College won five first places, two second places and four thirds, while Cal Poly won four firsts, two second places and four thirds. The Mustangs’ breaststroke winner, August Mott- man, had his first instruction from Coach Dearborn at Palo Alto ten years ago.

A return meet between the Gau­chos and the Mustangs will be a feature of Cal Poly’s annual festi­val, “Poly Royal,” to be held the evening of May 2nd. They will no doubt be gunning for the Gau­chos and an avenge of Friday’s defeat.
