Commercial tutoring in the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Southern California has been death a death blow by the inauguration of a tutoring system copied from Phillips Brooks House's Undergraduate Faculty, according to reports received.

"The purpose of the undergraduate faculty system, which was conceived at Harvard and has since spread over the nation, is to help Freshmen and new students with scholastic difficulties and to offer teaching experience to the regular student," the U.C.L.A. Daily Bruin commented in a front-page article.

Daily Bruin Backs Plan

Editorially, the Bruin pointed out that "The only persons who might conceivably be opposed to the plan are those who tutor students for money on this campus. The effective operation of this idea will undoubtedly cripple the business of such tutors who will be faced with competition which works gratis."

Started at U.C.L.A. by Fred Koebig and at U.S.C. by Dexter Fox, the movement is receiving the full cooperation and backing of various student and faculty organizations.

The P.B.H. idea has been slightly modified in its new application. Whereas Harvard's Undergraduate Faculty is designed to meet the needs of school students who want free tutoring, or high school graduates financially unable to go to college, the groups in California exist solely for undergraduates, though they may later be extended to include extension students.
