beauty, whether she is on a lec-ture platform or on Safari. In fact, the natives of Africa call her "Mu", which means "the lady with the compact".

And scarlet pajamas, royal blue pajamas,. cocoanut cream pies, powder and lipstick�these are as much a part of her daily travel tricks as her camera shots, which probably explains why the John-sons think their many expedition. a much fun.

CALIFORNIA DESERTS TOPIC OF Illustrated Science Lecture

BY DR. PICKWELL OF FACULTY The Mojave desert in the blos-

som of early spring; plants, ani-mals, birds, and insects which are famous inhabitants of the desert�all these were graphically des-cribed by Dr. Gayle Pickwell of

the college faculty at the first

Science Seminar of the quarter

Monday evening.

From material gathered during

frequent visits to the deserts of

California in company with other

members of the Science depart-

ment faculty, Dr. Pickwell selected

some of the most interesting fea-

tures, ilustrating his talk with a

number of attractive slides. Tom

Rodgers, a science major who ac-

companied Dr. Pickwell on his des-

ert trips, operated the projector.

’HE-MAN’ DESERTS

"We have in America real ’he-

man’ deserts," Dr. Pickwell stated.

"The Mojave is as large as some

of the eastern states."

He then proceeded to prove his

assertion by showing a compre- Five water color paintings de- Spartan Knights hensive collection of pictures. Picting scenes of California

color. Another Another slide showed Dr. Carl Duncan and Tom Rodgers

exulting over the capture of a

plump Chuckwalla lizard.

This reptile, Dr. Pickwell ex-

plained, puffs himself up in his

hiding place when in danger of being caught and thus gets con-

veniently stuck. The Indian method

of conquering this little trick of

nature is to stick a cactus thorn

promptly into the lizard, deflate

him, and pull him out as a choice

delicacy.

’ From Name Made President MacQuarrie Attends Meeting Of

College Heads

5 Mendelowitz Water Colors Hung at Exhibit

A bill effecting the much discus-

sed name change of this college, omitting the word "teacher" from the title, was proposed by the Cal-ifornia State College Communi-ties Association, at its 1st meeting In the Supreme Court room, Sac-ramento, last Thursday, which was attended by President T.W. Mac-Quarrie and heads of six other state colleges.

The basis for the change to be jointly introduced by several leg-islators is that the colleges in

question are now generally refer-

red to as simply state colleges and

the communities prefer it to the

state teachers college title, declar-

ed Dr. MacQuarrie.

The bill will be the old law with the word "teachers" struck out.

Other presidents who took part in this decision were those from the colleges at Chico, Humboldt,

San Diego, San Francisco, Santa

Barbara, and Fresno.

Mr. Charles F. Crothers, chair-

man of the San Jose Association,

was elected chairman of the group

with Mr. A. J. Holland of Fres-

no as executive secretary. The ob-

jective of the Association is to

make available the combined pow-

er of the communities, and it was

decided that it would be called in-

to activity whenever needed. The

question of budgets WAS the sec-

ond important subject discussed.

While in Sacramento Dr. Mac-

Quarrie also attended a meeting of

the presidents of state colleges,
