New Session Of Congress Considered
Roosevelt Wanls House Action on Crop, Wage Reorganization Bills
DENUNCIATION OF EXTRA ACTIVITIES' RECEIVES ACCLAIM
(Editorial on Page Tu o)
Reacting in quick measure to Fred Hall’s scalding denun-| ciation of campus figures who are “political heroes but inferior scholars,” various prominent student and faculty offi-
hyde park. n. Y.. Oct. 6—(l’.P)— cers yesterday were unanimous on one point—that so-called
President Roosevelt said today he is considering calling a special session of congress, starting between October 8 and 16. to consider crop control, wages and hours, government reorganization, regional planning—and possibly a new court bill.
The president made his thoughts knewn at a special press conference on the front porch of his country home here immediately after he returned from a 6.000-mile train and rutomobi’.e trip to the Pacific Northwest and back.
Mr. Roosevelt said his definite decision on the special session ques- | lion would be made between the time he arrives in Washington rbcard his special train Friday morning and when he comes back ! to his Hyde Park home the night of j October 12.
PEOPLE BEHIND HIM
The president made it clear that j he believed and that he felt the j people he talKed to on his West Coast trip backed him up—that I rongress should adopt an “ever-nor- ■ mal granary” farm bill, set minimum wages and maximum wage for Industrial workers, consider his program to reorganize the government, and divide the country into eight public works planning areas.
Mr. Roosevelt was less specific on his court plans. He said his trip convinced him the country wanted quicker and cheaper justice. He pointed to recommendations that from 12 to 24 judges be added to federal court lists as a possibility-for congressional consideration.
Asked if a bill increasing the number of lower court jurists would shut out possibility of another New Deal attempt to liberalize tiie supreme court, the president answered “not necessarily."
Hfe attitude pave the definite impression that he felt the cheering thousands who greeted his train and the crowd reactions to his speeches were evidence that his New Deal still is popular with the country.
C ROPS GOOD
He said the principle resuite of his “intake” tour from here to Seattle and back, through the nation’s “breadbasket” fanning area, wetf these:
1.	Crops ate better than they have been for four years. Farmers want a law' controlling surplus crops, however, because they realize agricultural prices wfll crash again in the future without such a permanent program.
2.	The nation understands and accepts the federal policy of cutting down work-relief project allotments through the public Works and works progress administration. President Roosevelt said curtailment of employment spending showed the job-making program was one based on economics rather than “handouts."
ASSOCIATE
extracurricular activities should and must not interfere with
cultural pursuit.
Leading the group of statements was that of Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the university, who stated, regarding Hall’s suggestion to raise academic eligibility for student body offices:
STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION
“Any step that places increased emphasis on the academic program is a step in the right direction.’’ Following Dr. von KleniSmid was ASUSC president. Gardiner Pollich, who stated in his offices yesterday that he “emphatically believes Mr. Hall, through investigation concerning student activities on the U.S.C. campus, has shown to all of us that extracurricular work does play altogether too important a part in student life.”
TWO SUGGESTIONS MADE
Hall, who is president of the interfratemity council, made his sensational report before the ASUSO senate in what was scheduled as ft routine meeting Tuesday evening. Basing his statements on a survey made during the summer months, he reported to the senate group that the outside activities are “undermining the scholastic intentions of our students."
Hall suggested to the group that some modifications m the present student government setup might be arranged by:
1.	Raising scholastic qualifications for student body office candidates to a 1.5 average.
2.	Encouraging freshmen to enter into a moderate amount of extracurricular work, rather than to jump headlong into the campus whirl.
CALENDAR OVERLOADED
He also condemned the practice 1

We should not countenance interference from any quarter with the possibility of fulfillment of these purposes. I am Continued on Page Two

FOLLOWS GAME
“Fight On” will call the Trojans to rally tomorrow when the first open air assembly of the year is staged in the middle of University avenue during assembly period.
Although the speakers will face the administration building, horns will be set up so that the rally may be heard all over the campus. University avenue and all the nearby streets will be roped off so that students may congregate on all sides of the platform. The move from Bovard auditorium to the new rally site was the result of last week overflow crowd.
PENNER CANCELLED Joe Penner, famous duck salesman. cancelled his appearance late last night when he found that he j would not be able to get away from work to attend tomorrow’s assembly.
After receiving notice that Penner could not appear. Bob Myers, yell king, and Coalson Morris, rally chainnan, opened negotiations with several other stars, but were not able to. get any definite promises yesterday. They do, however, expect to have another star lined up by rally time.
BAND TO MARCH One of the novel features of the rally will be the band march up University avenue to the assembly platform. The band will assemble in front of Mudd hall and will sound the call to assembly from there. They will then lead students up to the scene of the rally while they play various collegiate marches.
Another feature of the program may be the introduction of various grid players of the two teams. This plan has not been decided upon as yet and depends somewhat upon th-arrival of the Ohio State team. REVISION INTRODUCED During the rally.
