State Junior College Finals Begin Tonight Center's Greatest Need: NEW AND MODERN a3teton BUILDINGS Vol. X. No. 9 UCLA Soph Leaves Cares Behind, Goes On Ocean Voyage Until not so many months ago, Bob Ivers was an undergraduate at the University of California, at Los Angeles. Then the economies forced on him by his GI veteran's stipend began to make Bob a bit restless, a bit harassed. Before he knew it Ivers had become a radio operator on a merchant ship bound from Texas to Japan. Added to the radio-op salary that he's saving for his return to scholas tic life is the commission that he's receiving from Varsity, the young man's magazine because Ivers is now the publication's foot-loose cor respondent. His first report is a college man's humorous look at the merchant ma rine. "It seems to be traditional," he says, "that chief engineers must complain about excessive water con sumption. Every ship of every na tion probably has a sign that says, `Too much water used on last trip. Water will be turned off except for certain hours if this practice contin ues.' However," Bob points out, "These signs are evidently put up as soon as the ship is launched. They are always brown with age."

The college classes will end at noon Thursday, March 25, and will resume with the eight o'clock classes on Wednesday morning, March 81. There have been no plans by any of the Undergraduate Center's or ganizations to hold an Eastertime function. end, the Hazleton Undergraduate Center squad has flashed the outstan ding season's record with 15 wins and one loss. York, the quintet picked to oppose Hazleton to the fi nal whistle, has a record of 11 wins and one defeat. The loss was handed the YUCmen by Syd Rudman's com bination. East Cage Teams Fear West, He Says Why is it that a certain group of Eastern colleges and universities still prefer to stay in their own back yard meeting Western and Far Western basketball teams only on home boors? Are Eastern basketball teams afraid to go' West ? That question is asked by Douglas R. Mills, athletic director of the University of Illinois, in the current issue of Varsity, the- young man's magazine. His answer is two-fold: it's the fear of losing to Western op position. And it's the fear of losing big box-office. By keeping their eyes on the juicy bait of dollar signs, Mills declares, Eastern metropolitan teams may cripple intersectional basketball for good. That's the only result possible if schools like St. John's, FOrdham, New York University, Manhattan, City College of New York ? ' Tem'ple, and Canisius continue their 'course. Mills pointed out that in the four teen years that Western teams have journeyed to the East for occasional games, they've won over sixty per cent of their encounters. Similarly, when stars 'of both coasts net last March in a benefit match, that record was underlined by a West Coast win. March 5, 1948
