ontroversy Anticipated for Proportional Representation Measure; Dobkin Dissents
by Lloyd Hearn
(Conflicting viewpoints in minority groups presented by |e members of the constitutional committee will be con-red by the ASSC senate tonight when it meets to be-debate on the new constitution. Reports range from the i-conservative one of Norm Hawes to radical departures
from present procedures advocated by Alf Harrison, committee chairman. and Milt Dobkin.
Also up for review by the senate tonight will probably be the all-university forum which was voted | Monday to remain a functional organization without senate administrative control.
Dissenting opinions were submitted along with the proposed constitution at last week’s stormy I senate meeting when the committee’s document for student body
government was accepted for consideration.
P.R. CONTROVERSY
As the senate starts discussion tonight, probably, the first controversial matter it wrill encounter in the constitution is the article pro- I viding for elections by proportional representation of nine newly ere- j

Enthusiastic approval oi factual presentation of the A-bomb question in Tuesday s Daily Trojan was registered yesterday by students inter viewed on the Issue.
While many expressed their feel ings concerning Russia and the question of disarmament in connec tion with the bomb, the concensus was that the entire history and prospective future of atomic energy should receive more publicity.
Advocating a strong policy against Russia in determining the method of atomic control. Victor Figueroa, architecture major, felt that the issue should be forced now and that Secretary of State George Marshall's military background will bring that about. •
UNIVERSAL CONTROL
“I can’t see why politicians urge universal control of the atom." he added. “Humanity is too selfish.”
Figueroa, who has seen the effects of the atom bomb on Hiroshima, was convinced that* a present showdown with the existing danger of use of the bomb is far better than waiting for worse results after other countries have developed atomic power for their own use.
D. L. Whitman, engineering major, also believed that Russia's hand should be forced on the atomic control problem, but goes a step further in suggesting a break in diplomatic relations with that country.
Caution was stressed by O. W. Sternberg, engineering major, who said that "we shouldn't trust any country until we are positive of that country's attitude toward the rest of the world.”
Criticizing past policies of the United States, Tony Bruce, psychology major, theorized that we are too backward politically and are thinking in the 18th century morally. politically, and economically, and the Russians are in the 21st century in these respects.
NO LONGER SEC RET
The idea that the atomic bomb is no longer a secret wras expressed by Bernard Hutian, commercial aviation major.
“I believe it is a good thing to bring out in articles that there is no secret about the atomic bomb. Only manufacturing details remain to be developed in a majority of the countries,” he said.
Hutain felt that we should keep the information we have until the results of our present foreign policy are determined, especially in view of recent events in Greece and Turkey. There should be no hurry for international control as there is no danger of war at present, he added.
PUBLICIZE ISSUE
Michel Landa. pre-law student said:
“It is a very good idea to put the issue to the public. In our university paper a discussion of matters of current interest is much more important than fraternity news or women's activities. '
Landa expressed the views of a majority of other students interviewed in stating “the big advantage is that the subject is presented in an understandable fashion while most articles on the sane subject are filled with too deeply hidden meanings.''
Assailed as a “begowned expert on sex by Senator Jack B. Tenney speaking from the floor of the state senate Monday, Trojan Owl editor, Robert Fenton, remained an emphatic defender of academic freedom today after being informed by Associated Press dispatches of the senator's attacks.
“The senator's statement was cleverly twisted to convey the im-piession that I was defending the use of salacious literature in the education of school children. That impression is not true,” Fenton said.
“My editorial was directed specifi cally against the bill proposed by Senator Tenney which would prohibit sex education below the third year in high school. It was not a defense of the use of salacious books allegedly used at Chico High school as the senator inferred. My stand was precisely the same as that taken by representatives of between 50.000 and 75,000 students from 53 California junior colleges who have passed a resolution strongly opposing the bill,” Fenton added.
In his speech. Senator Tenney referred to the “sophisticated mouth-ings of some luminous authority” which Fenton had quoted in the editorial.
Of the authority, Fenton remarked. “Dr. Paul Popenoe is widely known throughout the country" as an educator in marital relations. Dr. Popenoe is a strong advocate of sex education.
“With me, the opinions of such an authority bear more weight than those of a mere 'politician’ in whose vocabulary the word ‘communist appears so frequently.”
The Feb. 24 Owl editorial is the one to w?hich Tenney took issue.
Secretary Requests Allied Nations’ Aid In Drafting Peace
MOSCOW. Mar. 25—<ILE>—Secretary of State George C. Marshall proposed today that the entire Ger man people—not merely their government—be made responsible for peace treaty compliance and that all countries which declared war on Germany be given some part in the treaty-making.
Presenting to the Big Four foreign ministers a United Stales plan for the German treaty, Marshall asked that the future German government be spared the onus of signing it and thus enabling some future Hitler to say that politicians, not the German people, were to blame for its acceptance.
POWER SUBJECT TO TREATY
“Since we required the unconditional surrender of the Germans, particular German officials should not be required to sign the treaty of peace or vote for its ratification/’ Marshall said.
•The German constitution should contain a clause clearly providing that all powers under the constitution be exercised subject to and in accordance with the peace settlement.
MARSHALL PROPOSES
Following the policy pursued by-former secretary James F. Byrnes on the A*is satellite treaties, Marshall proposed the following procedure for WTiting the German treaty:
1. The Big Four and China would invite all countries which declared war on Germany to take part, at some stage, in a formal German peace conference.
. 2. After this conference the Big Four would draft the final text of the treaty “on the basis of recommendations by the peace conference which received a two-thirds vote of those present and voting.” Consideration would be given, in writing the final text, to conference recommendations approved by a simple majority vote.
3.	The final treaty text would be submitted to all states which were at wrar with Germany.
4.	Representatives of Germany would be given a chance to present their views at the peace conference.

Editor Requests Lists
The following fraternities are requested by Hep Weyman, fraternity editor, to turn ln their list of new spring pledges today: Alpha Rho Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Chi, Tau Epsilon Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Delta Chi.
Appointment 6f Charles Boren, Trojan football letterman of late 20's, to the position of labor relations manager for the Motion Picture Producers association was announced this week by Eric Johnston, president.
Industrial relations manager for Paramount studios for the past two years, Boren, in his new job, will be in charge of contract negotiations and labor policy formulation for the association which includes 10 major studios. He was studio manager at Paramount from 1941 p until 1945.
Boren was a starting guard on the great ’28 eleven which beat Notre Dame for the first time, 27-14. gave Coach Howard Jones his first un defeated team at SC. and climaxed the season by earning national championship honors.
He earned a letter as end in 1925 on the first Jones-coached team at Troy. Out with injuries during 1926. Boren returned for the ’27 campaign, winning another monogram as end.
A member of Sigma Chi, he attended SC until 1929 as a pre-law student and was in charge of the University Employment bureau from 1929 to 1935.
His wife, the former Gwenvere Dennis, was a Pi Phi and was graduated from SC in 1928 writh a B.S. in education.
the campus.
“I have been working with the student committee for quite some time,” said Dr. Bennett, “with the hope that we may alleviate the tremendous parking problem that exists on the SC campus at this time.” COMMITTEE MEETS Under the leadership of Bill James, a three-man, AMS committee consisting of James. Jim Mitchell, and Paul Wildman has conferred with Dr. Bennett on several occasions.
As a result of these meetingr angle parking is being recommended on 36th street from McClintock to Vermont, on both sides of Exposition from McClintock to Figueroa, and on Hoover boulevard from Jefferson to Figueroa.
Hoover boulevard parking would make room for from 200 to 400 more cars, depending upon how the city decides to zone it, and is considered the most important of the proposals.
HAPPY PARKERS
On 36th street approximately 120 additional parkers could be made happy, and on Exposition, under an angle parking arrangement with no time limit, about 250 more cars could be accommodated.
R. T. Dorsey, city engineer, has conducted a survey on all the streets in question to determine W’hether the changes are advisable and to discover the reaction of the property holders in the area. On the basis of this survey recommen dation for the city to OK angle parking on 36th street and to mark the street with the necessary white lines has gone to the police commission for approval. Action should be taken on it today.
PAST POLICY In the past there has been a policy of not approving angle parking on any street which is less than 72 feet wide. Thirty-sixth street is only 55 feet wide, but Mr. Dorsey believes that this “unwritten law” will be invoked in this case.
Further meetings with the student committee are planned by Dr. Bennett, who promises to continue backing such recommendations in the city council where actions of the police commission may be appealed

GESTURING FOOL
