Instructor Flays Class Stragglers
Two students arriving a little late yesterday morning for Robert W. Oliver's crowded economics 53b class were thoroughly squelched by their genial instructor, who probably has been saving this one for months.
As the tardy Trojan and Trojane stood undecidedly at the door, surveying the rear of the room filled to capacity, Mr. Oliver noted that they were obviously about to leave.
“Come on up front,” he invited them. “There’s plenty of seats, and I know you won’t mind sitting here, as there won’t be any exam today.”

Senate Croup to Investigate University Housing Problems
Senator Ball Introduces Bill To Outlaw Closed Shop Rule
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—(UP)—Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R„ Minn., quarterback on the Republican team seeking to tighten controls over labor, today introduced a bill to outlaw the closed shop on the grounds that it violates “fundamental principles of American liberty.”
His measure would outlaw all contracts which make union membership or non-membership a condition of employment.
Under its provisions the closed shop, union shop, and maintenance of membership would be barred. The closed shop requires that only union members can be hired. The union shop demands that all employes join the union. Maintenance demands that all members keep in good standing with their union unless they withdraw during a specific escape period.
One section of Ball’s measure would eliminate a Wagner labor relations act provision which permits closed shop contracts. Another duplicates the prohibition of the Norris-LaGuardia act against “yellow dog contracts” which outlaws non-membership in as union as a prerequisite of employment.
Ball is the floor general for Republicans who seek to tighten labor controls in the 80th Congress. As such he is the lieutenant of Chairman Robert A. Taft, R., O., of the senate committee on labor and pu-

State Urges Payment Of Auto Fees Now
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 8— (CE) —
The department of motor vehicles tonight urged car owners to pay their 1947 license renewal fees to avoid the rush which is certain to I v.-ouId not be committing itself to
t»cipate in the foundation of a national students organization.
Embarking on his maiden voyage or. SC's troubled political waters, Unruh initially proposed the immediate appointment of a committee to survey all housing needs on the campus, to investigate all housing bills now before the 80th congress. and to report to the senate at the first meeting of the legislative body following registration for next term.
AFFECTS ALL STUDENTS
“The housing problem affects all students,” Unruh said in support of his motion. “For this reason, it should be acted upon by as broad a representation as possible. The need has been recognized in congress, and this is the most propit-icus time to carry plans forward for the alleviation of the current shortage.”
Jim Mitchell, ASSC president, who would have been required to appoint the committee under provisions of the constitution, immediately voiced oppostion to the appointment of a committee without aue consideration of prospective candidates. A compromise was effected when Unruh agreed to withdraw his motion on Mitchell’s promise to appoint within three days a temporary committee to work on the problem until such time as the senate can approve permanent appointments.
STUDENT ORGANIZATION
Emphasizing that the recent meeting of college delegates in Chicago only provided a basis for discussion of founding a national students organization, Dobkin pressed for ratification of SC's participation on the ground that the university

SC Doctor Dies During Research
Possibly a victim of his experiments in medical research. Dr. George Edwards, instructor in physiology at the SC School of Medicine, was found dead in a General hospital laboratory Tuesday.
Failure of Dr. Edwards to keep an appointment with his wife Naomi resulted in her visit to the hospital where she found the body.

NEW CONSTITUTION
In that year began a series of legislative events in the senate which can only be compared to the Congress of the United States suddenly deciding that the constitution under which our national government functions is hopelessly out of date, writing a new constitution, and implementing that document without the “consent of the governed.” «
For. it was by just such a proce-Icnt lur.g infection, poeeibly brought 1 thLa.t the senate, then called on by clicnucals with which he was ! legislative council, in 1DC6 abro-working in the development of a gated a constitution written in 1928

Dr. Edwards, a native of Santa E^r'oaia, received his.B. A. degree ir biochemistry for the University of California at Berkeley in 1939 and his M. D. from SC in 1943. He served as a general surgeon in the European theater of war for 11 months and in a State-side orthopedic hospital for four months prior to his discharge from service.
which hed bean approved by a majority vote of the student b;ay, and substituted a document which had as its sole support the fact that the group responsible for writing it, the senate, approved of it. Thus, we have the spectacle of a governing body writing the law, passing the law, and executing it—all without the acquiesence of those it governed.
These statements require proof of
custom seemingly as prevalent then as now. It required that “this con-minate the necessity for revision, a stitution shall be submitted for ratification to the qualified electorate of the several colleges and shall be considered adopted upon receipt of a majority vote in a majority of colleges.”
Complying with this provision, the document was submitted to the student body, and the lead story appearing in the Daily Trojan on April 27, 1928, reported that the constitution received a majority vote of 1112-112.

Discussion arose over the fact that only one of four panels at the meeting in Chicago had been approved in plenary session.
MOTION APPROVED
The way was paved for final approval of Dobkin's motion when Anita Norcop. AWS president, one oi SC’s delegates at Chicago, explained that ratification meant merely that the university would take part in regional activity and a more permanent decision could be made following the constitutional convention which is to meet before Sept. 30.
Dick Gilson, independent representative, requested that a report be made on recent investigations into the status of ASSC funds, and Mitchell promised action would be taken at the first meeting of the senate next semester. Ronnie Johnson, financial manager, was appointed by Mitchell at the beginning ol the semester to spearhead the investigation.

Giant Wampus Goes On Sale
Information straight from the linotype indicates that the issue of the Wampus which Is coming out next Monday has more than 250 pages.
This reliable tip comes from a Wampus reporter who was seen making his exit from a nearby pub.
“There’s no doubt about it,” he insisted. “I saw the page proofs for page 250 and there were more than that.”
There are cartoon and jokes galore scattered throughout the pages. And as a special feature Gargantuan Gandy has done a hilarious basketball program for the center four pages.
