The special interest club will place heavy emphasis on cultural activities such as the study of elephant history, religious rites, racing records and comparisons between African and Indian elephants. At present, consideration is being given to the proposition of a sit down strike to protest the use of ivory in piano keys, chess sets and lady's combs. The club was formed under the leadership of Everett Moore for the purpose of protection and advancement of elephant racing. Moore states that he felt there was a great need for elephant racing to fill the educational gap in that area at OCSC. Receiving official recognition at the April 2 meeting of Student Council, the club is presently making plans to hold elections to fill the positions of Bapu Mahout (president), Ek Mahout (vice president), Do Mahout (secretary), and Tien Mahout (treasurer). Club founder Moore is serving temporarily as Bapu Mahout. Special dress for this club will require a turban. Members have also been asked to bring either pillows or rugs because the ancient rites of the elephant forbids the use of chairs. Ernest A. Becker, dean of students and club advisor, said that the club will be open to anyone interested in elephant racing, students and faculty alike. Dean Becker emphasized that there will be no political or religious aspects to the club. He hopes to help the club out by writing to his friends, the Maharaja of Patiala and the Mir of Hunza, spiritual representative of Aga Khan IV, to obtain pointers to use in the purchasing of club elephants. After purchase of the first elephants, the 50 club members intend to challenge other colleges in California to races. If the races prove to be successful, the organization will enter nation-wide competition.

WHAT'S DOING America's first space-age world's fair opens this month in Seattle, Washington. Its theme is Century 21, an exciting look at the year 2000 against a background of our present space accomplishments. Tying in with this theme at the fair is the Bell Telephone System's "Space Communications Spectacular." It shows many Bell System space projects, including the proposed satellite communications system. It also features up-to-the-minute developments in home and business telephones. If you plan to visit Seattle's Century 21 Exposition, we hope you'll stop in at the Bell System's exhibit building for a very interesting look at what's new for you in telephone service.

And this air pistol is one way we attack our house-cleaning job. You see, even tiny specks of dust in telephone equipment could interfere with good service. By using compressed air to blow dust away, we're able to do a really thorough job fast and cut cleaning costs. By practicing economy with good housekeeping, we can maintain good service and give you the most for your telephone dollar. Ready on the spot to give the latest in modern telephone service is Bill Favreau. Bill is typical of the experienced crew of telephone installers in the Anaheim area. See your telephone man or call your telephone business office for that colored telephone or Princess set you've been wanting.
