AH Absent Greeks Will Be Suspended
Any fraternity which is not represented at any two meetings of the Interfraternity council will be suspenied. with no voice in the meetings for the rest of the year, according to the constitution of the organization passed last night.
International day. when each fra ternity will entertain five foreign studen's at luncheons will be held once a month, it was also derided.
Exchange luncheons will be held every wo weeks. Each house will send five men to the exchanging house, according to a new plan adopted at last night’s meeting.
A petition of Sigma Phi J)elta, professional eacineering fraternity, for membership in the social council, was denied. Other professional houses recently decided against amalgamation with the social group.
Other constitutional amendments adopted provide that 12 semester units of ”C” average work, taken during a single summer of two sessions is acceptable for initiation and that the president of the counci’. comptroller of the university, cean of men. head of employment bureau, and one other admin snrstive officer of the uni-versitj will decide on loans made by th* council.

ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 12.—(U P)—Determined to use every resource at his command in opposing extradition to Chicago, Samuel Insull today made plans to go either to Bulgaria or Yugosalvia, where his lawyers feel he would be safe from prosecution on charges of embezzlement.
While officials of the American legation moved with equal determination to obtain the 72-year-old former millionaire’s return, Insull remained at his hotel, consulting with his attorneys and friends.
M. Ladas, one of Greece’s fore i most criminal lawyers, w ho was ! retained by Insull, discussed the legal points involved, in an inter-! view. If the Greek government orders Insull deported as an undesirable alien, he said, the former utilities czar will appeal to the j Supreme State council.
If the council approves his de-! portation, Landas said. Insull will manage to arrange that he be sent i to either Bulgaria or Yugoslavia. And since the United States does not have extradition treaties with ; either of those nations, the attor | ney said, Insull would be safe.
Attaches of the legation ex-j pressed deep surprise that the government should have given Instill his unconditional release yesterday, after having placed him under arrest. The American offi cials felt that they should have been asked to resume full responsibility before the release was granted by the minister of the interior.
Later the minister said that it is possible Insull will be rearrested, since he was released only because the American legation did not furnish documentary evidence that he was wanted.
U. S. Takes Up Insull’s Passport
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—(UP) —The American consulate at Athens was instructed by the state department today to take up Samuel Insull’s passport.
The action will make it virtually impossible for the Chicago utilities magnate, wanted in this country on charges of larceny and em-bezzlemen tin connection with the collapse of his vast interests, to leave Greece.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—(UP) —President Hoover tonight defended the economic program of his administration and attacked “false prophets of a millenium'’ in an address before the American Bar association.
The president, speaking in his-
■	toric Constitution hall, asserted that “often in history the people’s j interests had been betrayed” by false leaders offering “unworkable and disastrous theories of government,” adding:
Hits Democratic Campaifln
“The menace is doubled by the fact that these vain allurements are today being offered to our harassed people by men of public reputation in economics and even by the men in public life.”
The reference was generally regarded as an attack on the campaign pronouncements of his Democratic opponents, particularly Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York, Democratic candidate for the presidency.
The chief executive told the attorneys and legal leaders that “the pressure of public clamor” for change menaced good government. The changes demanded, he said, often “would destroy personal liberty and sweep away the security of savings and wages built up by centuries of experience.”
Less Centralization
Turning from his political attacks, the president spoke for less centralizaiton of government under federal authority. He declared states should protect their rights and that even if some failed, or a community within a state failed, this should not cause their rights to be delegated forthwith to the central government.
“Diversity within unity,” Mr. Hoover said, “is the essence of government and progress in our country.”
State Responsibility
He described the relations a-mong the states and between them and the federal government as “one of the most delicate relations of our republic. He said a “sense of responsibility” must be retained in the states, but admitted:
“We must be courageous in providing for extension of these regulatory powers when they run beyond the capacity of the states to protect their citizens.
“It is the local communities that can best safeguard their liberties. W£ must therefore impose upon the states the maximum responsi-i bility in these regulatory powers over economic functions.”

Cislini, Trau To Supervise Annual Balloting of Legal Students
Bob Allen and Donald Brent, candidates for the presidency of the senior class in the School of Law, will head the list of nominees for class offices in the Southern California Bar association in the election today to be held from S a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Crossley, Bob Gardner, and Maurice. Hindon, secretary-trea-surer; Irving Baum, Ray Brown, Larry Israel, and Ted Zucker-man, governor.
\Vallie Trau, president of the student body, stated that polling this year will probably set a new mark due to the fact that all students are required to join the Southern California Bar association. Membership comes with a subscription to the Southern California Law Review, a portion of which fee goes into the association treasury.
Members of th© A.S.U.S.C. elections staff who are appointed to be on duty today are as follows; 8 to 9 a.m.—May Kroeger, Cleva Badham, Maxine Adams; 9 to 10 a.m.—Phyllis Morris, Draxy Tren-grove, Lucille Bohlinger; 10 to 11:25 a.m.—Helen Townsend, Clarion Modell, Bettie Maas, Margaret Wilson; 11:15 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. —Aileen O’Connor, Margaret Gray, Diane Wagner, Kathleen Murphy; 12:15 to 1:05 p.m.—Ruth Coine, Jane Reynoldson, Elizabeth Bastanchury; 1 to 1:30 p.m.—Barbara Gerardi, Dorothea Jarecki, Murrieta Bergery; 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.— Jane Reynolds, Jane Barwick, Velma Ferraris; 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.— Ellouise Steckel, Helen Townsend.
by women. 37 men, slightly more than eight per cent, had some impairment, while only one per cent of the women were so handicapped.
“A noticeable feature of this year’s survey,” said Dr. Hutchinson, “is the abnormally large number in class “C”. Under normal conditions class “B” Is the larger group by a considerable margin. A possible explanation is that even university students have attempted to economize by delaying proper attention to their visual needs.” He added:
“A college group makes larger demands on the eyes than almost any other class In the community. Vision is the sense most easily cared for and the one whose loss is most keenly felt.”
Irish Troops Fight Unemployed Gangs
BELFAST, Ireland, Oct. 12 — (UP)—Troops were moving into Belfast tonight after a second day of rioting and terror in which unemployed men battled police from hastily dug trenches and behind street barricades.
Curfew was enforced throughout the city. Lorries of Royal Fusil-liers, equipped with machine guns, patrolled main thoroughfares. The sombre, sullen silence of the shuttered town was broken only by the challenge of sentries, the occasional crack of a sniper’s rifle from rooftop or alleyway as th9 guerilla warfare lapsed with the coming of night.
Fiery hand to hand fighting had occurred in York street in early hours as unemployed, demanding an increased dole, clashed with officers in a second day of disturbance. Trenches and barricades were thrown up by beleaguered unemployed groups as lorryloads of troops were reported massing in the east end of the city, with barbed wire and other equipment.
By mid-morning this disorder had quieted, but few persons dared to appear on the streets, where police patrolled constantly, alert against bombs or brickbats thrown from housetops.

Drama Group To Broadcast Play Program
“Streets of New York” To Be Released from KFAC Tonight Performance Will Replace Weekly Speech Radio Hour at 9:15
Presentation of “Streets of New York” in kaleidoscropic form to radio audiences throughout southern California will be Drama Shop’s means of introducing its revival production to theater-lovers tonight over KFAC.
Thirty minutes of scenes from the five-act play in their logical order, with a synopsis serving to connect one scene with another, will comprise tM«>rogram. Cut tings and synopsis^rere made by Norman Wright and Les Koritz.
Replace Speech Hour
The program, replacing for one week the regular School of Speech radio drama hour, will begin at the customary hour of 9:5 and continue to 9:45. Incidental music and an introduction to the play will be included in the presentation.
Capacity audiences are expected for both Friday and Saturday performances, Val Jean McCoy, ticket chairman, reported last night.
Seats in the first four rows of Touchstone theater are selling for 40 cents, the next five for 30 cents, and the last six for 20 cents. Although in keeping with the tradition of the “10-20-30” play, thia price range represents an innovation for Touchstone theater. Heavy costume and setting expenses made the traditional pricts impracticable.
Heading the cast are some of the most experienced and popular actors and actresses on the campus, according to Drama Shop officials, who believe that much of the credit for the large ticket sale is due to the presence of these names on the program.
Experienced Cast
Mary Cianfoni, president of the School of Speech, N.C.P. member, and versatile actress; Jack Swarthout, often featured in campus dramatics; and George Ordansky, acclaimed one of the finest character men S.C. has ever seen, have the elading roles. Norman Wright, director of the play and Drama Shop president, was credited by critics last year with “stealing the show” in the underclass play.
Tickets are on sale at the cashier’s office in the Student Union, the School of Speech office, and from Drama ‘Shop officers, and ticket committee members.

U. S. Approves Project Which Will Benefit African Nation
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—(UP) —A five year plan for virtual supervision of the Liberian republic by the League of Nations was tentatively approved today by the state department.
Execution of the project appears to hinge on approval of a plan drawn up by the “International Committee on Liberia" by the League council and the Firestone rubber interests, holds a virtual veto power over the plan because Its approval is necessary before Liberia can obtain a $250,000 loan to put the scheme into effect.
Text of the plan, together with messages exchanged between the state department and Geneva, on the one hand, and between the department and the finance company, on the other, were made public here tonight. They revealed that the state department had been victorious in its fight for extensive powers for the foreign advisorship to be set up under the league.
Several years ago the United States cooperated with the league in investigating forced labor in Liberia. It found that “virtual slavery” existed there. Present efforts tend toward ending forced labor and improving economic, political, and social conditions.
La Tertuila Will Convene Tonight In Olvera Street
Good-will ambassadors-at-large of German youth, nine members of the famous Wandervogel organization will greet S. C. students at the daily student assembly thia morning.
The 18-month tour of the world that brings the young Germans to Los Angeles is of a two-fold purpose, according to Dr. Wilhelm Schmidt, educator and philosopher who is their leader.

Dr. Bruce Baxter wll introduce them and speak briefy of the nature of their organization and its work. Williard Smith will play two selections on the organ to open and close the program: "Concert Overture,” by Faulkes; and “March of the Brillianti,” by Low-den.

Welfare Group Is Active In Acclimating Freshmen
“How do I ‘break in’ around here?” may be the cry of the new student, but his question is now answered.
In an effort to aid new students on the campus in entering into extra-curricular activities, the student welfare committee of the Associated Students has this year started a drive to contact all newcomers. With the scheme only four weeks old, 20 students have availed themselves of the opportunity to mix in Trojan activities.
Lawrence White, executive chairman of the group and promulgator of the scheme, says that students’ not knowing where to go and whom to see, usually deters them from entering the fields in which
their interests lie.
The committee holds regular office hours on Mondays and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. in Student Union 234. During these hours members give their time to interested students, finding what they wish to do and what they are able to do, explaining the nature of S.
C.’s extra-curricular activities, and attempting to find a place for them in the fields they wish to enter.
The fact that the plan is new and that many students doubtless are unaware of its existence may have given it a slow start, White opines, but he is very optimistic about its future success, t
