J fore the traffic committee of the Men's council and may be subject- ' ed to suspension from classes, ac- j cording to an announcement made yesterday by Pud Medbery, chairman of the traffic committee of the Trojan Knights.
Although summoning of violators i before the council was considered last semester, it was not decided j to put the system into efTect until this week when it was discovered that traflic violations had doubled In number for the same period last year. Traffic tickets will be issued ! by the traffic committee of thc Trojan Knights and Squires.
This committee includes Medbery as chairman, Irv Harris, Fran Bushard. Earl Stillman, Fred Leix, Fred Smith, and Bill Meyers. It will meet at noon today in Student Union 203 to discuss further plans for stemming traffic violations.
Tickets will be given for double parking, parking in the wrong zone, parking In front of a driveway, parking too near a fire hydrant, parking at a wrong angle, and parking too close to a corner.
Summoned the flrst time before the council traffic committee, the student will be warned against retpetitlon of the offense. The second time he will bo placed on probation, which means that he will not be allowed to participate in any extra-curricular activities. On bis third appearance before the committee, he will be suspended from the university. The committee, which will meet at noon every Monday of the semester, includes Frank Smith, Bushard, and Medbery.
Previously, it has been the system of the Knights to issue tags to traffic violators which did nothing more than warn them. New tickets will summon miscreant students before the council.
Medbery declared that because of the severity of penalities, he did not believe that violators would appear before the council more than once or twice, thus making for a minimum of suspensions.
Doctor von KleinSmid and Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, are sponsoring the Men’s council in helping to put an end to traffic lr-egularities.

Agreements Proposed In Congress For Drought and Veteran Aid Bills.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5- (UP)-Compromises, tentative arrived at to provide food for drought sufferers and cash for needy veter ans, today considerably lessened the threat of an extra session of congress.
A $25,00fl,0oo fund for •'rehabilitation loans,” which the adminis tratlon controlled house could accept without losing face, and which would be used for food purposes, was proposed In a compromise drafted In closed-door conferences. President Hoover’s ap proval of tho proposal and Its Interprtation was being sought as a final step, but such approval was not immediately forthcoming; nnd the situation overnight was considered still Indecisive In this respect.
The Republican members of the ways and means committee mean while drafted a $600,000,000 bill to Increase loan facilities on adjusted service certificates issued to world war veterans. They expected to bring out the bill and pass It in the house next week. It would reduce the interest rate on all veterans’ loans from ti to 4 percent. At present, veterans can borrow only 22Vi per cent of the face value of tho certificates which mature in 1945.
Alt hough the senate and house both gave final approval and sent to the president their first regular appropriation bill, the $120,-000,000 first deficiency bill, the aenate rejected by the decisive vote of 22 lo 47 the conference report on the billion-dollar treasury poslofflce bill.

in June, 1931.
This trip ls planned as a friendly gesture towards the Latin American countries and will cover approximately 18,000 miles.

Comptroller D i s c o u nts Rumoi^; Survey Shows S. C. Fees Low.
No raise In tuition rates at Southern California has been effected nor has any even been mentioned in any councils or committee meetings this year, H. W. Bruce, comptroller, said yesterday Flatly contradicting all rumors of a "$50" or "$75" increase in tuition. Druce said that such a change would have to be voted by the board of trustees, and that the board has never discussed the matter of tuition during the past few months.
Willie it Is, of course, possible that thc board may decide to raise the fees in the future, such action is considered very improbable at this time.
A survey made by the comptroller's office indicates that Southern California's tuition rate of $270 per year compares favorably with those of private Institutions of a similar rank throughout the country. Southern California charges a registration fee of $10 per year, plus library and miscellaneous fees. Other institutions require similar payments, but their regular tuition fees, to be compared with the $270 charged at H. C., are as follows:
Amherst $400 Boston $325 llllnknell $300 Buffalo $350 Brown $400
Cal Tech (freshmen) $250 Other classes $300 Chicago $300 Columbia $320 Cornell $400 Dartmouth $400 Harvard $400 Lehigh $400 Mills $400 New York U $360 Northwestern $300 Occidental $250 Ohio Wesleyan $260 Pennsylvania $400 Pittsburgh $300 Tomona $300 Princeton $460 Redlands $230 Stanford $300 Smith $400 Syracuse $255 Wesleyan $400 Whittier $250 Williams $400 Yalo $460 Southern California goes even further in its consideration of students than many eastern universities do in that lt grants credit to needy students. It also refunds up to the seven week mark, whereas in many universities a student who pays his tuition In full and who withdraws in oue week gets no refund, legally, a university is nol required to make auy refund.
