Ditch Day To Be Combined With Election
Action on Amendment To Limit Campaign Funds Postponed
Alton Garrett Is Named Chairman for All-U Holiday Program
Establishing the precedent of an all-university ditch day on the afternoon of the day of Associated Students elections, the legislative council decided last night that the first annual affair will be held on Friday, May 5, this year. At the same time the council referred the constitutional amendment drawn up to regulate expenditures in student body campaigns back to the constitutional committee for further consideration.
Acting on a report submitted by Bill Baxter, the council voted that on the annual ditch day morning classes will be held as usual and polls will be open for voting from 7:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. All afternoon classes will be dismissed and students will gather at a beach club to enjoy a program of sports and await election returns.
Ends Confusion
Under the new all-university ditch day plan the special class-cutting days of the smaller schools and colleges will not be affected. The main change will be the abolishment of the separate ditch day of the College of Commerce. This adjustment was made because of the confusion caused when commerce students and professors cut classes in which a large number of student* from the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences are enrolled.
Alton Garrett was appointed chairman of the first all-university ditch day. His committee will arrange an elaborate program at a prominent beach club, which will feature inter-college and fac-ulty-student sports events in the afternoon, and a buffet supper and dance in the evening when election returns •Rill be announced.
Argue on Rules
The decision to refer the amendment covering regulations on student body elections back to the constitutional committee came after a lengthy argument over rules for disqualification of candidates breaking the rules, and over the amount set for campaign expenditures. Many members of the legislative council expressed the belief that $150 is too high an amount to allow for a presidential campaign fund.
Stanley Levine, chairman of the committee, will revise the amendment and submit it to the next meeting of the council.
Kenneth Smith was approved as chairman of the student organizations committee. He then advocated recognition for Nu Alpha society, local pharmacy organization, and temporary recognition to the General Engineering society. The engineering society will be given full recognition upon completion of the 10 weeks probationary period. The council approved his report Christy Welch, vice president of the Associated Students, acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence of Orville Mohler, president

Urging Southern California students to drive more slowly and carefully on University avenue near 32nd street, Pres. Rufus B. von KleinSmid yesterday made public a letter he received from Chief of Police Roy Steckel and James E. Davis, deputy chief of traffic division.
After explaining that the police department had received many complaints of reckless driving on the part of university students in the vicinity of the 32nd street elementary school. Deputy Chief Davis urged that Trojans use more caution in driving along University avenue north of Jefferson boulevard so that the lives of school children will not be endangered.
Urge Stop Signs
According to Deputy Chief Davis, many residents in the neighborhood of the school have asked that stop signs be installed so that students driving to and from the university would be forced to come to a full stop on University avenue at, 32nd street After investigation traffic officers found that such drastic measures would not be necessary if students of the university would use caution in driving by the elementary school.
Upon receipt of the letter President von KleinSmid urged students to drive slowly and carefully along University avenue and thanked the police department for its action in allowing the university to solve the problem rather than having the traffic division take drastic regulatory measures.
The complete text of Deputy Chief Davis’ letter to President von KleinSmid follows:
Children In Danger
“The reckless driving on University avenue in the vicinity of the 32nd street school, has been the cause of many complaints to the police department. Citizens complain that school children are endangered and Insist upon some sort of regulatory measure that will compel traffic to come to a complete stop before crossing 32nd street
"This department feels, after observation of the traffic at that point, that drivers would be too much inconvenienced by such a regulation for the protection that would be afforded and that no such regulation would be necessary if the drivers who are the cause of the complaints would mo-; derate their speed and stop when school children are in the crosswalk. Nearly all the drivers using University avenue know that school children cross at 32nd street and approach the intersection with their cars under control. University students, however, apparently do not realize the seriousness of fast driving there and the necessity for having their cars under complete control.
“I hope, therefore, that the students can be brought to a realization of this fact and that by careful driving they will avoid the annoyance and inconvenience that the regulatory measures will cause them. Any action that you can take to bring this matter to the attention of the students will be very much appreciated by the police department.”
President Will Urge Modified Deposite Laws
Money for Necessities Available in Many Parts of Nation
WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.—(UJ)— Democratic congressional leaders were advised tonight that President Roosevelt would recommend a modified bank deposit guarantee bill and measures to ratify his bank holiday when the special session opens Thursday noon.
The tentative plan is to enact these bills by Saturday and adjourn congress for two or three weeks while committees prepare a permanent legislative program reaching all problems intensified by the depression.
Action Planned In numerous conferences, leaders of congress were swinging rapidly toward some form of modified guarantee of bank deposits.
Income tax officials announced that returns must be made as usual by March 15. Taxpayers were urged to include cash or postal orders for at least the flrst quarterly payments. If this cannot be done checks should be enclosed even though the banks are temporarily closed.
Throughout the country banks were reopening on a limited basis. Some were paying out funds for payrolls, food and other necessaries.
Forbid Gold Payments In all cases payment of gold or gold certificates was forbidden.
Detailed operation of the whole plan Is being delegated as fully as possible to local banking authorities. Arrangements vary with different localities depending upon conditions and the judgment of federal reserve banks, clearing house officials and bankers. Appeals to Washington concerning such matters are being referred back to the localities.
As fast as hard-driven treasury officials could draft the orders, a rapid-fire series of special authorizations were issued throughout the day.
Postofflces were authorized get money from local banks.
