Keep Eye On Spain, U.N. Told
U. S. Warns Council Group to Investigate France Peace Threat
NEW YORK, Apr. 25—(UP) —The United States proposed today that the United Nations Security Council keep a constant watch on Franco’s Spain, ready to take action at any time if it threatens peace, through a continuing investigation committee.
Russia, dissatisfied with mere investigation, talking and watching, retorted with a demand for real action against the Franco regime even at the cost of a new Spanish civil war.
Poland, France and Mexico joined with Russia in trying to force a resolution which would commit the council—in advance of an investigation—to some sort of action against the Franco government.
But the Council, after more than three hours of debate over resolutions, amendments and revisions or resolutions and amendments, adjourned until 11 a. m. tomorrow in hope that backroom conferences during the night might result in unanimous agreement.
It was decided that the chief delegates of Australia Poland and France—all of whom had advanced together and try to draft a joint resolution on the basis of Australia's demand for a five-man factfinding investigation of the Fresno regime.
The three delegates got together in the lounge at U.N. headquarters after the meeting.
Council debate degenerated, on the surface, into a battle of commas. semicolons, and phrases. But as it dragged on it was apparent, under the surface, that more was at stake.

Health. Officer Warns of Sol's Harmful Rays
With the advent of simmery, summery days, the university health office has been treating rases of sunburn for students who have sought Mie healing rays of King Sol in lieu of their books or the usual smoke-laden atmosphere of the Cellar.
To prevent swamping of the limited health service facilities, Miss Margaret K. McMorrow, university nurse, has divulged some timely information on the prevention of this seasonal ill.
A popular misconception that has led the discomfiture of many an unwary sun-worshipper has been that you can’t get sunburn on a cloudy day. On the contrary, according to Miss McMorrow, that is just the time when you are most likely to get a bum as you will forget to take the normal precautions, and the sun’s rays, sneaking through the overcast, will get In their most damaging effects. *
The use of lotions is no cure-all either as some of them are only effective for as little as 10 or 15 minutes, and none of them will give adequate protection for the lengthy periods that most people choose to remain in the sun, she said.
Some lipsticks contain substances that actually sensitize the skin to the sun’s rays, »o women bathers should refrain from wearing this beauty aid while on the beach.
Rotary Backs Speech Battle
Local speech majors are polish -ing their forensic abilities, aiming for competition with Occidental and Pepperdine contestants in the Rotary International annual speech contest founded by Crombie Allen, former Rotarian, newspaperman, and world-traveler.
Speaking on “The advancement of international understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the ideal of service,” the contestants will be vying for a first prize of $75 and second and third prizes of $37.50. Inasmuch as there are to be only three finalists entered in the contest, which has been resumed for the first time since 1942, each of the final speakers cannot help' but win one of the prizes.
The May 31 contest speeches will ^>e limited .to 10 minutes and will be held in the ballroom of the Biltmore hotel during the regular Rotary luncheon. Rotarians attending the function will decide the winner of the contest.
BEGAN IN GREECE
In 1932 Crombie Allen set up the first foundation for a speech contest in Athens, Greece. Subsequent contests have been held throughout the United States, South America, and the Orient. Allen later settled in Ontario, Cal., where he died in February, 1946.
Missing from this year's contest will be UCLA and Loyola, the other colleges included in the local area.
Speech majors interested in participating in the contest are advised that source material for the contest can be obtained from Rotary club files, 1325 Biltmore hotel.

Greeks Denied ISA Entrance, Backing-Peck
ISiA's stand on backing Greek candidates, allowing Greeks in as members, and allowing new members into the executive council were further clarified yesterday with announcements on these and other issues following an exefcuive council meeting.
It was announced that Greek candidates would not be backed by ISA in the coming election, nor will they be allowed in the formal membership.
INCONSIST ANT
Bob Peck explained that it would be as incongruous to allow Greeks to run on a non-org slate as for Greeks to run a non-org on their platform.
Lute Shaw and Kay Mancusi were both added to the ISA executive council at yesterday's meeting.
Other additions to the executive council were Bob Peck and N. J. Manzani. Hesse declared that the council would be greatly extended to include anyone genuinely interested in ISA and its platform.
PROPORTIONAL
Hesse expressed a desire to clarify the proportional representation that ISA advocates. He said that under such a procedure candidates are listed on a ballot and voters Jtote _for_ them ^n order of choice. The votes are then tabulated on a basis of so many points for first, second, and so on, with the candidates receiving the most points elected.
By this manner, he explained, any interested group that votes solidly for one, or perhaps several candidates, would be sure ,to get him elected.
Housing Main Vef Problem, Educators Told
SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 25.— (IJ.R>—Lack of housing and classroom facilities are main stumbling blocks in the veterans education program. John A. Sexson, Pasadena superintendent of schools, today told a conference of California educators.
Sexson pointed out the conference had failed to schedule living accomodations on its program. He forecast that the state’s higher educational system, which is trying to brace itself to meet an estimated enrollment of 120,000 veterans this fall, has “not way in which full, adequate care can be taken of the veteran immediately.”
Gov. Earl Warren, who called the conference of state department of education and California veterans commission officials, opened the meeting with a recommendation that central clearing bouse for information on colleges and universities be established.
Program Emphasizes Land, Water Agility
Radically changing the present program of physical training, William R. LaPorte. head of SC’s department of ' physical education, revealed yesterday that a new curriculum will be adopted next semester, designed to encourage and
recognize individual achievement.
"We plan, in two general courses.

Libby Urges Yets To Depart Legally
Warning veterans against the far reaching results that may be engendered by unofficial withdrawal from classes, Dr. Philip A. Libby, veteran coordinator, reiterated today the necessity for departing students who wish to retain their privileges under the G.l. Bill of Rights to withdraw from college through official channels.
Withdrawal without cancellation of enrollment automatically gives the student a grade of F which in turn renders him ineligible for further educational benefits under the Bill of Rights, Dr. Libby explained. If such a student desires reinstatement of eligibility at a future date he may expect to find his path blocked by a barrier of red tape.

YWCA to Start New Building
Climaxing a fund-raising cam-pjign for a new YWCA headquarters, ground-breaking ceremonies for the $35,000 structure will be held next Tuesday with Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. members of the Y board, and students taking part.
Starting with an assembly in the art and lecture room of the University library at 2 p.m., Vincent Palmer, architect for the project and Trojan alumnus, will address the meeting on the interpretation of Y needs which will be filled. The final plans for the building will be shown at this time.
The program will include groundbreaking ceremonies on the proposed site at 36th place and Hoover street. Taking part in turning the first spade will be Chancellor von KleinSmid; Mrs. Emanuel Jungquist, building committee chairman; Mrs. Alvin W. Ault, finance chairman, and Mrs. C. E. •Millikan, co-chairman of building
activities.
CHANCELLOR GIVES TEA
The event will be followed by a tea in the Chancellor's suite. Ruth Holley, student Y president, will direct a group of women students assisting in the event. Acting as hostesses at the tea, the women will also be available as guides through campus for visitors. The old Y building will be open for inspection, and women of the Y council and Social Welfare club are to be present to show the house.
To be known as the “House of Hospitality” the °w building for 1200 campus Y members will include many essential features.
Built around a central patio, the headquarters is provided with lounge and assembly rooms which may be used either separately or in combination and will accommodate groups of 200 persons. A small worship room is included to which students may come for quiet personal meditation qt in which small groups
may meet for religious worship and study.
OFFICE QUARTERS
Space has been allocated for adequate office quarters and committee rooms for the Y workers and club groups. A kitchen will be equipped to handle banquets and dinner meetings and also small groups wishing only light refreshments. Quarters for a permanent housekeeper are included in the plans.
In 1945-46. the YWCA at SC has 1200 members, 600 of whom are active in 8 club groups which meet each week to discuss public affairs, social welfare, religion, and world friendship. Twelve other campus groups use the Y building regularly. Over 100 women come daily to the Y for an inexpensive lunch prepared by the Y hostesses.
Such activities have rendered the old house crowded and inadequate to meet the daily demands, according to Mrs. Ruth Grant, executive campus secretary.
