The Red Raiders, after leading 43 at the end of the first quarter, suc­ cumbed in later periods to a consis­ tent and hard-fighting California team, losing their first league home game by a 31-37 score. A disastrous second quarter, in which Edinboro was outscored 15-7, gave the invading team a half-time lead 18-11, which the Raiders never topped throughout the remainder of the game. Don Remaley, forward, and Kuzna, guard, each contributed a trio of field goals to California’s at­ tack in this period. Don Reichel, Edinboro forward, led the scorers with four field goals and a pair of fouls for a total of ten points. Fred Case broke into the Raider lineup in the second half to score seven points. Mussioux, flashy California guard, led his teammates with nine points.

STEVENSON I LaBounty Resigns PROGRAM REVISED (Continued from Page One) In the fourth group they placed the people holding major offices. Such persons theoretically need all their time in preparing their work and it ;s unfair to burden them with extra work. They are not requirde to par­ ticipate in any etxra-curricular activity. A tentative schedule has been drawn up which places the required activities in the first group on Monday night from 7:30 to 9:00. This scheduling has caused a great deal of discussion among the commuters who are supporting themselves from work outside of school. The fratermties are to follow their present schedule. Other organizations are scheduled very much as at present. S' : semesters of one extra-curricu­ lar activity are required by each stu­ dent. More than one activity may be chosen if the student’s scholastic record warrants it. No one can hold more than one major office. Six emesters of this work are required: yet if a student’s record in participat'on and scholastic work is not satis­ factory, he may be dropped from any organization. The organization within the clubs is practically the same as it was two years ago when we had active clubs on the campus. Anyone who was not present at this assembly should get a copy of the new set-up from the President’s office. • \ I ' i ■ ■ ; : ■ ; ; j I ’ | I ■ • ? Bud’s Barber Shop i i*- X I i DUNDON BROS.
