Troy 'barefoot boy1 revealed as Brohammer
KFI program to feature Rodee, Goldner in support of fair employment commission
I*st week the United States senate was the scene of a j ltter filibuster that resulted in the shelving of the FEPC bill1 hich had precipitated the filibuster. Tonight, radio station :g 9:30 program. “The American Way,” will feature a dis-ussion on the bill which created such a furor in the senate. !

Emergency structure erected to make room for incoming students
Troy’s newest edition in building Pictures, dubbed the “Pentagon the architects and the ‘ Annex’’ the Registrar'* offioe in their ’ass schedule Just released, is well th» way to beating its Mar. 4 adline, date of the new tenn.

a permanent fair employment policy commission” will be the topic of discussion, and Dr. Carlton Rodee, head of the political science department, Will uphold the affirmative.
Dr. Samuel Goldner, research director of the Los Angeles CIO, will add his exhortations to those of Dr. Rodee. Dr. Goldner, who is well known in Labor circles, has appeared on the program before, but most of the time he has represented a different side of the question than Dr. Rodee.
The opposition will come from the Rev. Dr. Dan Gilbert, Baptist preacher, who is a ledding fundamentalist and has been preaching ] at the Church of the Open Door, and William Borders, a member of the southwest branch of the com- | mittee for economic development. Like Dr. Goldner, Borders is not new to “American Way” listeners. Dr. Rodee intimated that he would contend that a fair employment policy commission would be in line with the United States j constitution and democracy which ! supposedly abolishes and discrim- ] ination against race, color, or °°n" | creed in the world of labor.
The Rev. Dr. Gilbert recently stated in one of the local newspapers that he did not believe there should be any compulsory law that prohibits discrimination on the part of the employer in respect to race, creed, or color. He stated that this is a contravention on the right of contract between employer and employee.
Por the information of “American Wav” listeners who were perplexed at not hearing the program over KFI last week, it was postponed because of a national program.
Grads urged to get regalia
Graduating seniors will be able to rent their caps and gowns beginning tomorrow, and are requested to obtain them as soon as possible in order to avoid the last-minute rush.

If you have seen a blond young man going around the campus barefooted and holding up his drooping pants the past couple weeks, you have probably been looking at Chuck Brohammer.
On Feb. 7, that individual was initiated into the Trojan Knights, and that day at noon he was dunked, along with other new Knights, in the University library pool.
He took off his shoes, a pair of brown sandals, his brown leather belt with a sterling buckle, and a pair of wool socks.
Brohammer hasn’t seen his clothing since, and although he has made numerous appeals for D.T. publicity about his plight, the stories about his troubles have never appeared. But today was a slack day for news, so
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the lost clothing should bring them to the Trojan Knight office, 229 Student Union.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 18—(U.E)— The greatest telephone strike in history appeared likely tonight. A union-by-union survey of National Federation of Telephone Workers affiliates showed the larger and more powerful members in favor of a walkout.
“The larger unions definitely tended in the direction of strike action,” Joseph Beirne, NFTW president, said in announcing results of j the survey in which affiliates were | asked to give a “concise expression [ of opinion on the strike issue.” |
The meeting of NFTW member union heads adjourned shortly after the survey, Beirne said, and will meet again at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow morning to resume discussions. Beirne said a vote on the strike issue | probably would be taken tomorrow morning.
