“Unless these rules are complied with,” said Clarice Thurman, editor of the yearbook, ’ the date of publication will have to be held up.” This would mean that the date ol issue might well be delayed.

poor
road. The entire cast did a commendable job and Arthur Blackburn, who is wily 10 years old, handled his role like a veteran.
“El Christo” was the second on the program and cCMinued in an Easter spirit by centering the plot around the crucification of Christ.
The acting was well done and the use of a huge cross heightened the effect of spiritual emphasis.
“Dust of the Road” completed tlie program and had a very unusual twist to its plot. Tony Polma did a fine job as Judas, and was well supported by the rest of the cast. The set was unusual ln that it was very deep with recess in the background.
The plays, which were well received by the audience, will be presented again tonight in the Touchstone theater at 8:30.
Decorations centered around the Greek organizations will give the appropriate theme to t’ne annual Panhellenic formal, scheduled for Saturday night, 9 to 1, at the Riviera Country club.

Allotments of bids have been made in proportion to the size of the houses and arrangements for the individual houses can be learn ed from the Panhellenic representatives. While some houses have assumed full obligation of the dance others plan to assess members part of the cost of ,the bids.
Refreshments will consist of ice cream, cake, and coffee and will be served in the dining room On the main floor.
Attire will be formal and flowers are permitted.
“We regret that the problem ol limited capacity has arisen and we hope that the sororities will understand ,the situation,” commented Pat Luer, Panhellenic president “The Riviera is the largest ballroom available for the dance.”
The decoration committee, Pat Luer, Jane Lutz, Betty Jo LeSieur, and Carol Moss, will decorate the club Saturday morning.
In the oratory division of the tournament, Dobkin placed first with his selection “Tribute and Prediction” which was a tribute to the famed American Lincoln battalion- in .the Spanish CivX war and prediction of the downfall of Spain’s Generalissimo Franco.

ISA Calls SC Senate Defedive
Hesse Proposes New Plan of Representation In Student Government
Suggestions for a sweeping reorganization of SC’s student body government last night were made from the floor of the ASSC Senate by representatives of the newly-organized political group, the Independent Students Association.
Hurling charges that the present senate inadequately represents the student body as a whole, Sieglrled Hesse, chairman of ISA, brought forth a plan which would replace the present functional representation with a proportional representation system. PREFERENTIAL BALLOT
Under the system voiced by Hesse 15 voting members of the senate would be elected from the general student body by preferential ballot and the present system of voting members being selected by classes and colleges would be abandoned.
In stinging denials of the practicability of Hesse’s proposals, several members of the senate rose to contest his arguments. Joe Holt, president of Knights, outlined the belief that the present senate most nearly represents all elements of the student body; Don Blank, president of the junior class, pointed to the fact that the present senate membership is composed with the idea that groups will be represented by separate individuals who can represent them and speak specifically on their problems. EXECUTIVE BODY
Phil Burton, president of Blue Key, stated that the senate is intended as an executive as well as a legislative body and thus the problem is one of assembling student leaders from the various elements of campus life rather than electing representatives at large who would be unaware of specific problems of scattered groups, such as the different classes and colleges.
William McElroy, representing the College of Pharmacy, defended the present senate on the grounds that it effectively achieved its aim of integration. He attributed the fact that unaffiliated students have a small proportion of their number represented in student body offices to their disinterest in campus affairs. McElrcy also raised the question of financial support of independent student running for campus office with the monetary aid of either college, school or fraternity groups.
The meeting was adjourned following postponement of action on a petition brought by ISA that an unnamed member of the present senate be recalled.
Al Cutler, elections commissioner, announced that registration for the election would be held May 1 to 8 and that 10,000 registration blanks will shortly be available. Petitions will be opened May 9, nominations assembly will be held May 15, and voting has been scheduled for May 16 and 17.

Poland Lashes Spain
NEW YORK, April 17.—(TIE)—Poland, denouncing Spain as a threat to world peace, charged in the security council today that German scientists were conducting atomic energy research under Spanish auspices and demanded that the 51 united nations brea* relations with the Franco regime.
Calling Spain the last surviving partner of the Axis and citing evidence, much of its provided by Spanish republican intelligence operatives, of German scientific, military, financial, commercial and industrial activities there, Dr. Oscar Lange ot Poland called the Spain of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
“. . . a jumping off place for war which may spread all over the world.”
SIDES TAKEN
By the end of the session, France and Mexico had lined up behind Poland and the United States and the Netherlands had warned against taking action which might "be merely interference in the private alters
and Holland argued that Spain was not a danger to peace.
France and Mexico vigorously supported Poland’s demand for action. The Netherlands vigorously apposed, warning against setting a dangerous precedent by interferring in internal affairs.
United States chief delegate Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., said this country opposed Franco, liked the Spanish people and could do nothing for the people so long as Franco remained.
The United States, he said, wants 1) the Spanish people themselves to oust Franco; 2) to do so peacefully. This country will give sympathetic consideration to whatever action can be taken within that scope, he said, and the council adjourned un til 3 p.m. tomorrow.
Lange, outlining his anti-Franco charges, asserted there were 100,-000 Germans and French Vichy militiamen in Spain and that they maintained a headquarters near
the French frontier whe» Franco’s

Describing the University News bureau as a liason between ,the university and the public, Franklin R Skeele, director of the bureau, yesterday addressed the weekly meeting of .the Men's Faculty club.
The media through which this is accomplished, Mr, Skeele stated, includes the use of the local and suburban papers, the various news services, and many trade journals. At times, the work of the news bureau assumes an international character, when newspapers in for eign countries seek information concerning the university.
SCIENCE STORIES FEATURED
The type of story which Mr. Skeele classified as being particu larly newsworthy was the science story. Recent stories on the centrifuge and jet motor research work done at SC are examples of this.
Mr. Skeele declared that he is constantly faced with' the problem of whether to release a >tory to either a morning or afternoon paper, and that consequently he tries to keep both happy.”
NEWS LINKED WITH SC
The speaker asserted that the bureau is on a constant search for national events which can be linked up to SC. He cited as an example of this the stories pertaining to the appointment of Dr. Kenneth Emery of the geology department to serve as one of the geologists on the atomic bomb test to be held in July.
Constituting the major problem of the news bureau, is the shortage of news print which now besets all newspapers. This necessitates a premium being placed on space, and consequently competition for news coverage by the many news-seeking groups Is very keen, he explained.
PULP SHORTAGE
“The situation is worse now than before the war,” Mr. Skeele said. He continued, stating, “Before the war the daily copy of the Los Angeles Times contained 38 to 40 pages. Now it has only 18 to 2Q which is a reduction of 160 columns daily.”
Although faced with this cut in news space, SC still received more “inches” in local papers than any other educational institution in the southern California area, Mr. Skeele added.
“It a lot of fun sharing the enthusiasm of youth which is found on campus,” Mr. Skeele stated.
He concluded his address by answering questions of those in attendance.
and Nora Wallace, soprano, who will sing three operatic arias from Delibes’ “Lakme." Verdi's “La Traviata,” and Mozart’s “Magic Flute.”
Miss Putnam is a member of Phi Beta, national music sorority, and is a university orchestra member of long standing. Her performance with the Philharmonic during its summer session in the HoUywood bowl won her recognition with Los Angeles critics.
This is Mr. Dahl’s second term with the orchestra. A native of Switzerland, he has had extensive experience in radio work, notably as arranger for Tommy Dorsey’s RCA Victor show.
TRADITIONAL CONCERT
“The annual spring concert is a tradition of the orchestra,” said Gloria Arthur, property and publicity manager of the organizaztion, “and tonight’s program promises to be one of our best. The orchestral selections range from the severely classical Mozart to the modem Copeland with the distinctive, romantic harmonies of Grieg closing the program.”
The orchestra has increased greatly over last term in both membership and quality of performance. Blue Key president Phil Burton said. "This orchestra and the coming concert have been heralded by local critics as having an exceptionally talented group of university students.”
VARIETY OFFERED
The performance will open with the overture to the opera. “The Secret Marriage,” by Domenica Cimoraso. and will then offer “Suite for Flute and Strings.” Georg Teleman; “Outdoor Overture.” Aaron Copeland; three arias, Delibes Lakme,” “Violetta’s Farewell” from Verdi’s “La Traviata ~ and “Oh Tremble Not” from Mozart's “Magic Flute.” and finally. “Symphonic Dances,” Opus 64, Edward Grieg.
Admission to the concert is free, and all university students and visitors are invited to attend, according to Doug Corbin, president of Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity.
Burton announced that all Blue Key men will meet in front of Botard auditorium tonight at 7:20 to usher at the concert. They are
requested to wear suits.
“This performance is another event in Blue Key’s plan to acquaint the SC student body with all phases of university life,” Burton concluded.
