Parking patrol continues vigil
Although some improvement has been shown as a result of the intensified drive against student traffic violators, there are still many motorists parking in prohibited areas, acoording jLo Knight president Buzz Forward.
As was announced yesterday the police department will now assist the Trojan Knights in an effort to stop further offenses. Another statement has been issued by .the president's office ordering that parking on the red lines between the 6tudent Union and the Administration building must oease. The confusion resulting from motorists leaving their cars for hours at a time in these restricted areas is causing unnecessary hardships, the Knight head said.
“Students must realize that these rules are for the good of the whole student body and if everyone doesn’t cooperate it is impossible for a smooth flow of traffic at any time,” stated Forward. "The problem is especially bad at noon time when it is imperative that violations be at a minimum.” Students are causing undue hardships by stopping their cars at all restricted areas on University ave. thus making it impassible for pedestrians and drivers alike to obey the rules.
Another problem has come up concerning parking in the legal areas. Many motorists Insist upon parking three and four deep in many places, blocking the exits in others, and generally making parking a great problem.
As Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid stated in the welcoming assembly, “There are far more than enough places to park all within two blocks of Bovard and there need be no serious problem nere." Yet it is nearly as difficult to park as school progresses as it was during the rush at registration time. Forward said.
In particular, Dr. Flewelling will deal with the problems that have been facing modem civilization since the advent of the atomic bomb and similar developments of modem technology.
“The world of parochial thinking is lost,” maintains Dr. Flewelling. “The world of segregated races, religious, and cultures has passed away. If we are to continue to live It will not be by virtue of Maginot or Siegfried lines of any kind, nor by plane-filled stratosphere or atomic bombs, but by virtue of living in love and charity with our neighbors.”
The remaining five of the lecture series, all based on the general topic of “The New Tasks of Peace," will be presented in Bowne hall on successive Tuesdays. Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor of philosophy, is next on the agenda vath a talk entitled “Philosophic Bases of Peace,” which is scheduled for Nov. 20.
On Nov. 27 Dr. Herbert L. Searles, associate professor of philosophy, will present “Social Conditions of Peace,” followed on Dec. 4 by Dr. M. M. Thompson, professor of education, who will speak on “Educating for Peace.”
Fifth in the series will be “Implementing Religion for Peace,” by Dr. Paul R. Helsel, associate professor of philosophy, on Dec. 11.
; Due Dec. 18, Dr. Matila Ghyka, vis-I iting lecturer on aesthetics, will speak on “The Concept of Harmony in Eastern and Western Philosophy” in the final session of the 15-year-old forum. Dr. Ghyka is a recent arrival in the United States from Europe.

KFI to feature Baker, Rodee
Thurman beckons yearbook helpers
Advertising agents, artists, indexers, office girls, copyreaders and messengers are needed to work on the El Rodeo staff, according to Clarice Thurman, yearbook editor.
Students wishing photographers’ appointments should make them as soon as possible. The studio is located across the street from the university library. Deadline for appointments is Dec. 31.
Students having photographs made should observe dress regulations: civilian men. suits and ties; trainees, dress uniforms and hats; women, simple black date dresses, plain hair styles and little Jewelry.
“Should the Government Intervene in Labor Disputes?” will be discussed over station KFI tonight at 9:30 by Dr. C. C. Rodee, head of the political science department, and Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in political science and general studies.
The Tuesday night KFI feature. “The American Way,” is arranged by Mr. Baker each week. Mr. Baker is a regular member of the four-man panel that each week discusses pertinent current events. The rest of the panel members are also acquainted with the topic under discussion and will represent organized labor and management.
Dr. Sanford Goldner, associate research director for the California CIO, will represent labor. The management spokesman has not been selected. Dr. Rodee and Mr. Baker will take the affirmative side of the question.
‘‘Labor and management stands are not definitely known but it is expected that their delegates will advocate unrestricted collective bargaining, free from government intervention,” said Dr. Rodee.
“While collective bargaining Is > thoroughly desirable, machinery should be provided to cope with those situations where that method breaks down and, most important, where the welfare of the American public is seriously threatened,” he continued.
“No economic group should be permitted to deprive society as a whole of necessary goods and services, for at this point the rights of either labor or management to bargain collectively can become inconsistent with the rights of the community,” stated Dr. Rodee.
The head of the SC political science department, who was a member of the local War Labdr Board panel for almost two years, further stated that he will not oppose labor and management’s right to collective bargaining but would advocate the establishment of governmental machinery to arbitrate those cases where other methods had failed.
“Ample time should be allowed for all disputes to be settled without government intervention, but

•

Recent recipients of a distinguished service citation, the Hancock Ensemble will be featured in an all-university music assembly in Bovard auditorium this morning at 9:40.

Victory Chest drive closing date extended
Falling short of its $5000 quota, the Victory Chest drive has been extended from last week’s closing date, until 9 a.m. tomorrow. Ray Prochnow, member of the drive committee, urges all students to contribute now to this cause in order that
it may reach the goal.
when the disputes continue, when labor or management fails to clearly state its desires and aims, then legal machinery should step in,” commented Dr. Rodee.
Dr. Rodee inferred he would favor an arbitration board for these disputes composed of delegates from labor, management, and the public. If labor and management could not settle their difficulties after a reasonable lapse of time they should be brought before the board and-^ made to issue an open statement of their case.
The board would help them choose an arbitrator and then, if the problem coulcl not be coped with, the board would take final and conclusive action.
Senior council

Band expands size to 150
Encouraged by its success in reaching a goal of 100 members for the Cal game, the Trojan band today begins a drive to increase the band to 125 pieces for the Oregon State contest scheduled for Nov. 24.
Bill Gould, director of the band, is urging all interested student? to come to a rehearsal to be held Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the Cinema and Musical Activities building.
Mr. Gould said, “I feel that there are still more musicians on the campus than have not yet reported for the band, but lack of time has prevented their turning out. But now that schedules have been ironed out, more people are Tree to participate in school activities. We should have 150 members for the UCLA game.”
Quite a number of veterans have already joined the band, according to Gould, and have found it valuable experience in getting back into the swing of campus life.
The band made a fine showing at Saturday’s game with California, performing seven different stunts requiring precision and teamwork. One of the most impressive Mas a tribute to the Marine Corps on its 170th birthday in which they were augmented by a detachment of marines from the university under the command of Capt. Odell.
Doug Corbin, band secretary, remarked. “The spirit and enthusiasm in the band is running very high, and cooperation in preparing stunts for the Cal game was exceptionally fine.”
Mr. Gould pointed out that it is no easy task to build a band in a short time, but it can be done if everyone will adopt the spirit of “do it now, not next semester.”
Gould praised the cooperation of the rooting section at the Cal game when he said, “The singing of the cheering section was very fine and I want to thank the students for the unity of their work with the band.”
Total amounts received up to 4 p.m. Friday were 'faculty and staff members, $1086.15; non-organization students, $890.67; sororities, $781.00; fraternities, $58.74; total cash contributions. $2816.56, and faculty pledges, $175. $2991.56 was the grand total.
Representatives contacting all fraternities and sororities before the deadline should turn the money in to the sociology office on the second floor of Administration.
According to Anne Pearce and Dody Yale, sorority chairmen, all sorority women have pledged at least $1. Checks for the total amounts for sororities should be given to Miss Yale, or deposited in the “Y” mail box at the Kappa Alpha Theta house.
All coeds who have volunteered to work in the Victory Chest boo tri are urged to be present for their alloted times. This booth, located in front of Administration, will be QDen all day for students wishing to contribute their donations.
Founded by Capt. Allan Hancock, president of the board of trustees and director of the Hancock foundation, the ensemble gave approximately 150 concerts to service camps, hospitals, and educational groups during the war. Previously the music group had toured from northern California to the Andes.
Two soloists, Catherine Jackson, harpist, and Lisa Minghetti, violinist, will be presented on the program with Captain Hancock appearing as cellist. The latter has played under some of the world’s most famous conductors and is well known to SC students through his many appearances with the ensemble and more recently through his work as director of the SC School of Aeronautics.
Miss Jackson, regarded in music circles as one of the best known concert harp players in southern California, was graduated with honors from the Oberlin College of Music in Ohio. She has made extensive tours of the east, and was once on tour with Anita Louise, who was at that time her pupU.
Miss Minghetti. the Vienna-born violinist, has toured with the great singers Richard Tauber and the late John McCormack. She hM also played with many famous orchestras of pre-war Europe.
