AMS CONSTITUTION
In the discussion of the AMS constitution, copies of which have been studied during the past week by senate members, two points were raised by Senator Phil Burton, president of Blue Key: (1) Would there not be duplication of representation in that the president of Knights and the rally committee head both would have voting seats in AMS as provided for in the constitution being considered?
<2) Provision should be made that AMS cabinet meetings be open
Can of Food Per Person Set As Coal
SC's Famine-Relief drive will gain momentum Monday when students rally round to support “We Can day." A truck will be parked in front of Bovard auditorium throughout the day to collect Trojan contributions of canned goods. Volunteer students will assist in loading the truck, and it is estinu^-ed that if each of the 12.000 students on .the SC campus brings one can of food, there will be enough to load the truck at least twice.
Support of the drive is urged by chairman Merle Carrona, ZTA; who is asking each student to do his share, and to decrease the amount of wheat and fats consumed as much as possible. The cafeteria and sorority houses have agreed not to serve these food items on Tuesdays and Fridays until the European starvation crisis is alleviated.
"SC is beginning its drive two weeks in advance of the national famine-relief program,” explained Miss Carrona, “and we are hopir** that other universities will follow our example in conserving as much I foodstuff as we possible can.”
All ,the canned goods collected on Monday are to be sent to Europe to relieve the nutrition situation there, and SC's part in the campaign will be acknowledged.
“Every can the students can give, and every article containing fats or wheats we can save will count ! toward easing this universal emerg-I ency,” she concluded.

FROSH ELECTION
In answer to a question raised by Abbott concerning the frosh class, ASSC President Bill Armbruster stated that freshman class elections will be held concurrently with ASSC elections, according to pre*?nt plans. Armbruster also suggested that a regular permanent annual date for frosh-soph brawls be set up.
In other business on the agenda, Jim Mitchell, Blue Key, was named co-chairman of the food conservation drive with Merle Carrona. Jane Lutz and William McElroy i were appointed to represent the j senate at the counting of ballots at .jthe ASSC election.
The first radio transmitter to go | to any station from the factories of Western Electric came to tne SC campus last week. Because of a | high priority due to ordering the j equipment over two years ago, KUSC has received the long awaited materials that will enable the station to begin operations sometime this summer.
According to Dr. Max T. Krone, associate director of the School Oi Music and director of tlie department of radio for SC. plans for the station are now waiting arrival of a radio educator to take over the operation of KUSC. Krone said that the expert expected to assume the position is a highly capable person with good qualifications in the field.
AWAIT RADIO OFFICIALS
The administration is waiting for his official acceptance, expected I this week, before revealing liis
I name. The director will be assisted in his duties by a committee made ; up of faculty members.
Studios of KUSC are in the Han-l cock Foundation building. Carson Donaldson, sound and radio techni-j cian for SC, is installing the new P. M. transmitter in the projection booth overlooking the auditorium of Hancock hall.
Donaldson reveals that the frequency and channel that KUSC ?/ill use has been cleared with the Federal Communications Commission for over two years. The frequency is to be 91.7 megacycles, and the channel will be No. 219, which is directly related to the band alloted to commercial stations.
Power of KUSC is to be 1000 watts with the transmitting tower j to be built on top of the Hancock building thus giving KUSC good J coverage of the Los Angeles area.
Donaldson is now working on a mobile unit which will contain audio-amplifying and recording equipment. With the mobile unit and the facilities of 26 pair of telephone lines available, KUSC will be able to cover many remote broadcasts.
CONFORMS WITH FCC
Donaldson said further that KUSC would go into operation under the guidance of a professional engineering staff to assure quality broadcasting accetpable to Federal Communication's standards for educational broadcasting.
While Dr. Krone declined to make any statement upon the future programming hours of the station or upon the particular types of programs to be used, he asserted that good quality was to be the deciding factor. The number of hours will depend upon how much the radio staff can do and still maintain high standards.
Exile Describes Mixed Feelings
Filled.with the contrary emotions of an exile, Dr. Ludwig Marcuse, visiting associate professor of German, will aid his feelings in “Affection and Bitterness of a German,” second speech in a series of six lectures sponsored by the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, this afternoon at 3:15 in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Conscious of the greatness of German culture. Dr. Marcuse is unable to desregard the tragedy of the Hitler regime which placed the masters of German art, literature, music and other forms of culture in so precarious a world position. The world has come to look ypon German tradition with distain even as Marcuse, a German, has experienced pangs of bifterness toward his fatherland.
BOOK BURNING
A portion of Dr. Marcuse’s sadness can be attributed to the burning of some of his books. Both the biography of Ludwig Boeme, Revolutionary and Patriot, and “A Life Between Yesterday and Tomorrow,” biography of Heinrich Heine, were destroyed by the Nazis during .their reign.
The most German of Germans were those who censured their country with the greatest bitterness and violence,” Professor Marcuse remarked. “A person who is mGirid-ed by a given culture cannot divorce himself from that culture, even thought he denounces a political regime,” he continued.
In today’s lecture, Dr. Marcus* will attempt to show the struggle resulting from the great 1/ve and the bitterness he and other Germans felt for Germany.
Author of seven published books and four unpublished works, as well as editor of two manuscripts, Dr. Mancuse gained recognition in his country. Biographies include works about Ignatius Loyola, soldier of the church; George Buechner, famous German playwright; Richard Wagner, Strindberg and Hauptmann, and other outstanding Germans.
PLATO VS DIONYSUS
“Plato versus Dionysus,” is the account of the fight of the Greek philosopher against the powerfvl tyrant. It is slated for publication in America this year. He also has achieved recognition as an essayist. “The World of Tragedy” contains a series of essays about the great authors of tragedvs.
Following Dr. Marcuse's lecture this week. Dr. Harold E. Briggs, as-sistent professor of English, will deliver a talk entitled “What Killed John Keats,” Dr. David HSroTd Fink, Los Angeles Psychiatrist, offers “Is Nervousness a Disease,” Dr. Richard E. Vollrath, profes&)r of physics, will talk on “Atomic Energy: For Good or Evil?” ar.d Dr. Edmund V. de Chasca, assistant professor of Spanish, will conclude the series with “Jose Rodo: Prophet of Latin American Idealism.”
