MADRID. Feb. 18—(UP)—Nine persons had been killed and 66 wounded up to 11 o’clock tonight in fighting attending the riotous general election of Sunday in which left wing radicals were triumphant. Five were killed and 32 wounded during the voting. The remainder were shot in disturbances today and yesterday, with peace not yet in sight. The victorious radicals clamored for immediate power, instead of waiting for the new parliament to meet March 19. Spanish Jails FiUed Spanish jails are filled with political prisoners, most of them participants in the abortive revolt of October. 1935. Leftists claim there are more than 30,000 of these prisoners. A principal plank in the leftist’s pre-election platform was that amnesty would be extended to these political prisoners, most of the widespread disorders which followed the election involved rioting political prisoners demanding immediate freedom. Prisoners Mutiny The latest of the riots was in Ci-jon prison today when the prisoners mutinied and set fire to the jail when amnesty was refused. Council Discusses New Election Plan Program Cards Are Due To Registrar Permanent program cards must be turned into the registrar within the seven day limit set by the registrar’s office if students expect to keep from paying a late registration fine of $3.00 according to the notice sent from the registrar’s office last night. Registrar Theron Clark also warns every student who is registering for the second semester work to have professors in every course ta which the student is entered sign the permanent program card before it is returned to the registrar’s office. lie Claim Prevails revolutionary chiefs an- novjiced the* complete calm prevail'd throughout the country.

Dolores Ibarruri, woman communist elected to parliament in Asturia. came to the prison accompanied by two male deputies to persuade the prisoners to abandon the mutiny. The guards refused to allow the woman, called “La Pas-ionaria,” (The Passionate), to enter the Jail. — Fourteen Wounded Fourteen prisoners were wounded when inmates of the Valencia jail mutinied. They fought guards and soldiers for hours before surrendering. Other prison riots occurred at Barcelona and Zaragosa. They were quelled. Martial law was declared at Zaragosa where a general strike is in progress, at Alicante, where celebrating radicals freed lepers, and at Valencia. A “state of alarm.” the government step preceding martial law and a “state of war,” was in effect throughout Spain. Political circles are agreed that should a left wing cabinet be formed. as seems inevitable, its policy will be extremely liberal as far as the proletariat is concerned, although someone will have to “pay the piper” and that someone will be the great land owners and other wealthy persons.

That Wampus cat, indicative of another edition of the University of Southern California humor publication, is prowling around campus today, casting aspersions upon everyone, sparing no one from the scratch of its bared claws. With a host of salesmen on cam-4 ture are not exactly ethical, mem- pus at points of vantage, the February “Leap Year” number of the Wampus is being sold today to Trojan students, with the established price of 15 cents still prevailing for the Trojan literary creation. Leap Year Theme With the one year ta four, leap year, gaining the dedicatory remarks, the edition follows the theme throughout, offering advice, baring startling disclosures, containing the usual features which are now associated with Dick Nash’s undergraduate humor effort. From the three-color cover to the cartoons and gags in the back of the magazine, plenty of humor, subtle and otherwise, is guaranteed. “Leap Year Comes But Once in Four,’' helpful little rendition explaining to Trojan coeds the proper methods of proposal, is one of the feature articles of the magazine, it has been pointed out. Although the Dracticea so advised ln this fca- bers of the editorial staff of the Wamp are asserting their belief that they wUl be adopted by S. C. women who are being bothered with any tinges of anxiety. Exclusive Revelation “Let’s Get Organized,” exclusive expose of a nationally-known organization ta its quadrennial session, follows the theme of the edition, while an accurate transcript of the meeting of the 57 campus leaders on cribbing is also included. Two pages of candid and posed pictures of leading senior students are also in the magazine, while articles on music and rhythm, current S.C. athletics, and a “signalized” consideration of the Santa Anita handicap take up space. Eloise Davies yesterday signed up several salesmen for the magazine, but any other student wishing to sell the Wampus at the established commission may do so by contacting ber this morning, she said. Debate Judges Are Chosen for Thursday Night Two high school debate coaches and an economics instructor will Judge S. C.’s debate with University of Hawaii speakers ta Bovard auditorium tomorrow night, Manager James Kirkwood disclosed last night. W. H. Head, Venice high school. W. D. Root, Jefferson high school of Los Angeles, and Will T. Newton, instructor of economics at Manual Arts high were named. Unusual feature of the debate will be its all-Trojan personnel. Hawaii’s representatives, Jack Casstevens and Bob North, being formerly active in S. C. forensic circles. Each is attending the island university on an exchange scholarship arrangement. Casstevens was winner of the Bowen cup for extemporaneous speaking, and tomorrow night he will be given the award in a special, belated ceremony. The Hawaiian team wiU arive ln Los Angeles harbor this morning. They will spend part of the day on campus with S. C. debate men. Homer Bell and Arthur Groman will represent S. C.. and have been allotted the affirmative burden. Larger Sale of Activity Books Will Be Urged Legislators Recognize Two Groups; Representation On Body Elxplained Following the change ln the eleo* tion date, a second major chang* ta the A. S. U. S. C. constitution was proposed last night to the legislative councU by Art Groman, chairman of the constitutional committee, calling for functional representation, rather than direct election for members of the council. Three other important pieces ot business were also considered during the meeting, which was one o< the longest of the year. Book Sale Stimulated In an effort to bring about a greater sale of student activity books, the council gave ita approval for the committee to work out a plan whereby members of the student body will be differentiated from mm members of the associated students, and anyone ; participating in I* associated student body affairs and function s will have to purchase an activity card. Mason Rose put a plan before tbe council whereby Mary Fran Allen the non-organis-. . to be replaced atlon wUl be organized for the purpose of giving chese students the opportunity to participate more ta extra-curricular activities. The recognition of two groupa. the Secretarial club and Delta Kappa Alpha, founding group of a cinematography fraternity, was up-proved by the council.

Showing the development and steady advancement of California, the picture portrays the diverse business and industry carried on ta this state. Dean Reid L. McClung urges that all commerce students plan to attend the assembly, as lt is to be of special benefit to them. er. The activities to be represented would include men’s athletics, music, panhellenic council, interfr*-temity council, and the non-organization students. The student body president, vice-president and secretary, would also be members. Each of these groupa would hava its own council and would elect one member to be the voting member on the executive councU. It was brought out by Willis Stanley, president of the College of Engineering, that the various colleges and schools upon the campus would be deprived of their representation on the council, and this problem will be taken into consideration by the constitutional committee and reported upon at the next meeting. This form of student government is used at Berkeley. Oregon, Washington, and is being installed at Stanford. The legislative body gave its approval to the committee to work out an appropriate change. Bishop Makes Proposal During the interim between semesters, Bishop, president of th* associated students, went to Berkeley to study the plan used at the University of California for the sale of student activity cards. Bishop made the proposal to the councU that the present student activity books be done away with as well (Continued on pag« four) Damp, Cool Isle Reached By Utopia-Seeking Nudists BOCA GRANDE. Fla., Feb. 18.—(UP)—Weary, disconsolate, and exceedingly damp, 20 bedraggled nudists waded and swam to uninhabited San Pedro island tonight, marking another milestone in their Utopian argosy.

Off-shore, high but not so dry on a sand bar. was lodged the good ship Fleetwood, her rudder damaged and the seams on the underside of her 50-year-old hull opened. Allard wUl attempt to re-float the Fleetwood with high tide tonight. Captain Lowe of Gasparillo was standing by ta a launch, ready to lend a hand. Cynical fishermen, however, were doubtful how long the schooner would float with opened seams. San Pedro was not an ideal site for the practice of nudism tonight. Fishermen here said they believed some of Allard’s followers might be wUling to trade their interest in Utopia for a greatcoat and a stove, The mishap which sent the Fleetwood plowing up on the sandbar wai one of a long series which hav* dogged the Vana Vana group Engine trouble, a stripped clutch, a broken rudder and navigation difficulties have hampered the party.

MADRID. Feb. 18—(UP)—Nine persons had been killed and 66 wounded up to 11 o’clock tonight in fighting attending the riotous general election of Sunday in which left wing radicals were triumphant. Five were killed and 32 wounded during the voting. The remainder were shot in disturbances today and yesterday, with peace not yet in sight. The victorious radicals clamored for immediate power, instead of waiting for the new parliament to meet March 19. Spanish Jails FiUed Spanish jails are filled with political prisoners, most of them participants in the abortive revolt of October. 1935. Leftists claim there are more than 30,000 of these prisoners. A principal plank in the leftist’s pre-election platform was that amnesty would be extended to these political prisoners, most of the widespread disorders which followed the election involved rioting political prisoners demanding immediate freedom. Prisoners Mutiny The latest of the riots was in Ci-jon prison today when the prisoners mutinied and set fire to the jail when amnesty was refused. Council Discusses New Election Plan Program Cards Are Due To Registrar Permanent program cards must be turned into the registrar within the seven day limit set by the registrar’s office if students expect to keep from paying a late registration fine of $3.00 according to the notice sent from the registrar’s office last night. Registrar Theron Clark also warns every student who is registering for the second semester work to have professors in every course ta which the student is entered sign the permanent program card before it is returned to the registrar’s office. lie Claim Prevails revolutionary chiefs an- novjiced the* complete calm prevail'd throughout the country.

Dolores Ibarruri, woman communist elected to parliament in Asturia. came to the prison accompanied by two male deputies to persuade the prisoners to abandon the mutiny. The guards refused to allow the woman, called “La Pas-ionaria,” (The Passionate), to enter the Jail. — Fourteen Wounded Fourteen prisoners were wounded when inmates of the Valencia jail mutinied. They fought guards and soldiers for hours before surrendering. Other prison riots occurred at Barcelona and Zaragosa. They were quelled. Martial law was declared at Zaragosa where a general strike is in progress, at Alicante, where celebrating radicals freed lepers, and at Valencia. A “state of alarm.” the government step preceding martial law and a “state of war,” was in effect throughout Spain. Political circles are agreed that should a left wing cabinet be formed. as seems inevitable, its policy will be extremely liberal as far as the proletariat is concerned, although someone will have to “pay the piper” and that someone will be the great land owners and other wealthy persons.

That Wampus cat, indicative of another edition of the University of Southern California humor publication, is prowling around campus today, casting aspersions upon everyone, sparing no one from the scratch of its bared claws. With a host of salesmen on cam-4 ture are not exactly ethical, mem- pus at points of vantage, the February “Leap Year” number of the Wampus is being sold today to Trojan students, with the established price of 15 cents still prevailing for the Trojan literary creation. Leap Year Theme With the one year ta four, leap year, gaining the dedicatory remarks, the edition follows the theme throughout, offering advice, baring startling disclosures, containing the usual features which are now associated with Dick Nash’s undergraduate humor effort. From the three-color cover to the cartoons and gags in the back of the magazine, plenty of humor, subtle and otherwise, is guaranteed. “Leap Year Comes But Once in Four,’' helpful little rendition explaining to Trojan coeds the proper methods of proposal, is one of the feature articles of the magazine, it has been pointed out. Although the Dracticea so advised ln this fca- bers of the editorial staff of the Wamp are asserting their belief that they wUl be adopted by S. C. women who are being bothered with any tinges of anxiety. Exclusive Revelation “Let’s Get Organized,” exclusive expose of a nationally-known organization ta its quadrennial session, follows the theme of the edition, while an accurate transcript of the meeting of the 57 campus leaders on cribbing is also included. Two pages of candid and posed pictures of leading senior students are also in the magazine, while articles on music and rhythm, current S.C. athletics, and a “signalized” consideration of the Santa Anita handicap take up space. Eloise Davies yesterday signed up several salesmen for the magazine, but any other student wishing to sell the Wampus at the established commission may do so by contacting ber this morning, she said. Debate Judges Are Chosen for Thursday Night Two high school debate coaches and an economics instructor will Judge S.

The Hawaiian team wiU arive ln Los Angeles harbor this morning. They will spend part of the day on campus with S. C. debate men. Homer Bell and Arthur Groman will represent S.

Larger Sale of Activity Books Will Be Urged Legislators Recognize Two Groups; Representation On Body Elxplained Following the change ln the eleo* tion date, a second major chang* ta the A. S. U. S. C. constitution was proposed last night to the legislative councU by Art Groman, chairman of the constitutional committee, calling for functional representation, rather than direct election for members of the council. Three other important pieces ot business were also considered during the meeting, which was one o< the longest of the year. Book Sale Stimulated In an effort to bring about a greater sale of student activity books, the council gave ita approval for the committee to work out a plan whereby members of the student body will be differentiated from mm members of the associated students, and anyone ; participating in I* associated student body affairs and function s will have to purchase an activity card. Mason Rose put a plan before tbe council whereby Mary Fran Allen the non-organis-. . to be replaced atlon wUl be organized for the purpose of giving chese students the opportunity to participate more ta extra-curricular activities. The recognition of two groupa. the Secretarial club and Delta Kappa Alpha, founding group of a cinematography fraternity, was up-proved by the council.

The activities to be represented would include men’s athletics, music, panhellenic council, interfr*-temity council, and the non-organization students. The student body president, vice-president and secretary, would also be members. Each of these groupa would hava its own council and would elect one member to be the voting member on the executive councU. It was brought out by Willis Stanley, president of the College of Engineering, that the various colleges and schools upon the campus would be deprived of their representation on the council, and this problem will be taken into consideration by the constitutional committee and reported upon at the next meeting. This form of student government is used at Berkeley. Oregon, Washington, and is being installed at Stanford. The legislative body gave its approval to the committee to work out an appropriate change. Bishop Makes Proposal During the interim between semesters, Bishop, president of th* associated students, went to Berkeley to study the plan used at the University of California for the sale of student activity cards. Bishop made the proposal to the councU that the present student activity books be done away with as well (Continued on pag« four) Damp, Cool Isle Reached By Utopia-Seeking Nudists BOCA GRANDE. Fla., Feb. 18.—(UP)—Weary, disconsolate, and exceedingly damp, 20 bedraggled nudists waded and swam to uninhabited San Pedro island tonight, marking another milestone in their Utopian argosy.

Allard wUl attempt to re-float the Fleetwood with high tide tonight. Captain Lowe of Gasparillo was standing by ta a launch, ready to lend a hand. Cynical fishermen, however, were doubtful how long the schooner would float with opened seams. San Pedro was not an ideal site for the practice of nudism tonight. Fishermen here said they believed some of Allard’s followers might be wUling to trade their interest in Utopia for a greatcoat and a stove, The mishap which sent the Fleetwood plowing up on the sandbar wai one of a long series which hav* dogged the Vana Vana group Engine trouble, a stripped clutch, a broken rudder and navigation difficulties have hampered the party. |
