SC Stanford nines clash this afternoon at 2:30 on Bovard to officially knock the lid off CIBA league warfare, jrrow they will play the second of a two-game series, ie Trojans and the Indians come up for the contest at full strength. Pre-conference tilts have put both squads on edge for the opening match, each nine having posted topheavy marks in the win columns against professional and independent aggregations. TRIBE OS WARPATH Stanford’s Redskins have gone on the war trail in dead earnest this season, having been on top of the heap four times ln six contests, tying one and dropping one. Two of the wins were over such fast clubs as the Red Sox Rookies and San Jose State. Meanwhile SC s rollin’ Trojans, sporting the most impressive record of any of the six-team entry that oomprises the CIBA, have trampled on opponents to date to the tune of 10 victories as against 3 reverses. Saturday's triumph over the hapless j SFU Dons made it seven consecu- j tive wins for the locals. 8LAMMIN' MERRIMAN Stanford Coach Harry Wolter, picking up the baseball reins for j the 23rd straight season at the Farm, will field a far stronger bunch of baseballers than finished in Ihe CIBA cellar last year. In his attempt to build up Stanford’s first championship ball club since 1931, Wolter's long, acquisitive arm has reached over into the football fold and come up with no less than five pigskinners.

Blud-geonman Merriman covers center-field like a greyhound, is batting a current .421. and his powerful arm keeps enemy runners married to the bases. Last season he hit .387 in league play. (Continued on Page 3, Col. 1) Student Declares Professors Unfair to Intelligent Persons “Some of the professors at SC seem to teach only the ‘dumbest’ students in their classes, and in that way are unfair to the more intelligent ones. Others appear to have the attitude that they don’t care whether their classes meet or not. This attitude is evident in many laboratory classes.” Speaking as a member of a four-person panel discussing cheating and the honor system in universities, Maxine Hogue, blind international relations major, made this statement Thursday at a noon meeting of Phi Eta Sigma. The freshman honorary organization invited Miss Hogue and Paulina Salz, members of its sister group, Alpha Lambda Delta, to take part in the roundtable discussion with Willard Nichols and Jim McAree. “In addition, professors often treat their students like grammar school pupils,” Maxine added. “As long as people are denied responsibility and the dignity of being treated like adults, cheating will continue.” Health Service Head Lauds Plan to Build New Infirmary rkets. priced at 60 cents for and $1 general admis-are now available a the office. 218 Student Union, will also be sold at the gym |mbers of tne team are all ama-from various parts of Den-and many of them were ac-in the underground movement fir country during the Ger-occupation. team will be the first to have pmonstrations televised by the Jnal Broadcasting company, their local performances the specialize in tumbling and ing, while the women will precalisthenics and dances of their land in original costumes, sr arriving in Los Angeles last lay. the group was extended an Ial welcome to the city by lr Fletcher Bowron with the ig of the Danish flag in front |e city hall. gymnastic demonstration at till be given in the men’s gym Ining 7:30 Tuesday night. mmerce Ballot j ts Light Vote skies and the threat of rain majority of College of Com-smdents away from the elec-^r Presidential and vice-presi-k candidates last Friday, ac-to Norm Galentine, com-lection commissioner. >tter, unopposed candidate ssident, can be defeated only write-in candidate, according fralemine.

Mitchell Supports Housing Chairman by Paul Doermann Tactics of wait-and-see were advised by ASSC President Jim Mitchell in his prediction of the future operation of the revamped senate housing committee. He expressed complete personal confidence in his newly appointed chairman, Paul Wildman. and in Wildman’s plans to end the Lewis Retracts 'Red' Statement Fulton Lewis Jr. apologized to SC in his Friday afternoon and evening broadcasts for his error of Thursday fn referring to communistic activities taking place on the Trojan campus. In his Friday correction Lewis said. “I extend my apologies to the University of Southern California for an error in my broadcast of yesterday (Thursday). I told you that it was the University of Southern California at Los Angeles where the communistic activities are taking place. That word SOUTHERN should never have been there. There is a University of Southern California and it happens to be at Los Angeles. The one where the activity is going on is the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA.” Mystery Caller States He Saw Overell Killing PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 23— Police searched today for a man who told California authorities in a long distance telephone call that he saw a friend, now hiding in Philadelphia, kill Mr. and Mrs. Walter Overell aboard their yacht at! Santa Ana The bodies of Walter Overell, 62. Los Angeles finance company executive, and his wife, Beulah. 57 were found aboard a dynamite* yacht. Police believe they were beaten to death with a hammer and j the yacht dynamited to conceal the murder. In a S2 telephone call shortly before last midnight, a man who gave his name as Edward Pierce and spoke with a Germanic accent tele- . phoned Santa Ana police saying that the killer brought him to Philadelphia and was hoiding him captive. “I saw my friend kill the Over-ells,” the man said carefully. “He brought me here to Pliiladelphia. I am afraid he will kill me. I will write the Philadelphia police. I am calling so that the boy won’t be tried for something he didn’t dp.” School of Philosophy To Present Northrop Arriving in Los Angeles tomorrow j Bowne hall, night. Dr. F. S. C. Northrop, author, > “Foreign Policy," will be discussed educator, and philosopher, concludes b Dr Northrop Tuesday at 4:15 a 3000-mile trip to present four lec p.m. This subject takes on particular significance to most in view of recent developments and changes in tures sponsored by the School of Philosophy and the Olive Hill foundation. “We are grateful to Dr. Northrop, American foreign policy, for coming this long way to address i Dr. Northrop writes that he is us, and we shall certainly benefit by looking forward to his first trip to his lecture,” Dr. Ralph Tyler Flew- j California.

OPINIONS DIFFER Unruh has not as yet accepted Mitchell's offer “due to difference^ on the basic issues of action to be taken.” Unruh also stated that “I must l^ave another talk with Wild-1 man to find out if he is willing to work with me through the Los Angeles Citizens Housing council and how he stands on the question of rent controls. “Everyone is agreed on the problem to be tackled, it seems.” Unruh continued. "All we have to work out is how wTe’re going to go about it. In UK meantime people stUl need | ^ lncom's bet’,"n *100° , and $320,000. Dr. Anderson makes it clear that DR. HOWARD PARSONS . . . tells new plans Council of Religion Group Makes Wide Changes A sweeping reorganization of the Council of Religion, including the election of new members to the executive committee, commission changes, and expanded activities, I taken to insure the safety of other Atomic Adviser Will Discuss Bikini Project Says Student Move Gratifying; Cites Need for More Facilities “I was extremely gratified that the plan for building a new university infirmary originated with the students themselves.” That was the statement of Dr. Paul Greeley, directoi of the university health service, when questioned Friday about the student senate recommendation that a 20-bed infirmary be made an integral part of the SC building program. “A 20-bed infirmary would handle the situation nicely at present and a building to house such a project as we need would cost $500.00»." Dr. Greeley estimated. “We must aim at getting the administration to plan this infirmary as the first building in its future construction program. “The health service is a recognized function of the university as a campus set up. There shouldn't bt na tziere never w’lll be any conflict A'ith physicians in the surrounding ’ommunity,” Dr. Greeley explained. SHORT-HANDED Dr. Greeley is the only full-time ioctor on campus. Six part-time ioctors and two full-time nurses truggle daily to handle the average if 200 student patients who come ;o that department for aid. Besides directing the examination of some 8,000 new students every year, the health service handles campus sanitation problems, takes care of all first aid and emergen cies on campus, and performs minor surgery. ISOLATION WARDS All contagious disease cases would be isolated in the new structure until diagnostic measures had been Tax Decrease PlanOpposed Opposition to the proposed 30 pel j cent income tax reduction was voiced by Dr. William H. Anderson, tax expert of the SC economics department, who, holds that the reduction is too abrupt. Revising the old plan of 20 per cent across the board, the house Republican leaders have proposed a 30 per cent cut in the income tax on incomes less than $1000. and 20 houses.” COOPERATION EXPECTED Questioned on the possibility of friction between th two chairmen if Unruh accepts, Mitchell neither agreed nor disagreed. He anticipates “as much cooperation as can be expected from two such opposite factions.” Since the issues oi the motorcade are based on the amount of student demand involved. Mitchell contends that the representation needed is a function of the issues involved. Certain issues require more student demand than others. While a certain amount of votes are required to elect student officers, a still larger amount is necessary to put them in action, for example. he regards the move as favorable in that it attempts a return to the peacetime economy and provides relief for the little man. “The question is, how mijch in 1947?” said Dr. Anderson. From the point of view of the economist, it is far better to reduce the tax cuts over a period of a few years, he stated. Other campus economists justify continued high taxes by pointing out that it follows a deflationary policy. Besides reducing the national debt, they contend a high income tax will regulate inflated consumer expenditures. Having less to spend, the consumer will not be able to keep pace with the inflation and the economy will soon adjust itself. Shaw Play to Run Five Days “You have the soul of a servant,” uttered Major Sergius Saranoff to Louka in a romantic scene when Louka refutes his advances in the George Bernard Shaw comedy “Arms and the Man” opening Thursday in Bovard for a five-day run. Scenes of love, laughter, and mild tragedy revolve around the Petkoff family in Bulgaria with Nancy Sheldon and Steve Cardwell starring as Raina, Major Petkoff daughter, and Captain Bluntchli, a Swiss fugitive from the Serbian army, respectively. Secondary leads are played by Madgel Wolfard as Louka, Petkoff's lady servant, and James McCloskey as Major Sergius Sar- | anoff, suitor of Raina. The play deals with the period immediately following the war between Serbia and Bulgaria. Raina, whose love for Major Saranoff is superficial and strengthened by her mother Catherine's approval, aids Captain Bluntchl: when he hides from Bulgarian soldiers in he room. Dubbing Captain Bluntchli as ttu “Chocolate Soldier” she confides to her mother and both are a party in aiding hnrj ROBERT DOWNING . . . portray* Nicola I to escape. This situation ls perilous to both of them and provides numerous laugh* throughout the production after her husband, Major Petkoff, returns from war. Barbara Lynde and Joe Flynn act the roles ol Catherine and Major Petkoff, respectively. In the role of Nicola, Downing has a chance to portiay his ability which is supported by experience in the Long Beach Community players. Acting in seven plays there, he was Jerry Seymore in “Claudia’ and Lorenzo in “Merchant of Venice.” Previous to that he played Mewton Fuller in "George Washington Slept Here” at Long Beach Polytechnic high school. At SC Downing took the role of Mr. Jordan in ‘ Heaven Can Wait,” produced last fall under the direction of Miss Meblin. "Arms and the Man,” will be presented by the department of drama directed by Frieda J. Meblin. The play has been done i numerous times on Broadway since 1900. and has played extensively throughout the world as one of Shaw's best comedies, said Miss Meblin. was disclosed by Dr. Howard P. Parsons, executive secretary of the council. New officers of the executive oommittee are Miriam Crosby, president; William P. Truitt, vice-president; Betty Dunn, recording secretary; Lynn Craig, corresponding secretary; and Harold Short, treasurer. Educational, promotional, social-recreational, and administrative commissions have been organized to encompass a wide variety of activities. PROGRAM ANNOUNCED Lynn Hartzler. chairman, announced a full schedule for the outstanding program of the educational commission. The commission will sponsor a series of eight lectures entitled, “Panorama of Religion.” Under the direction of Irene Lewis, the lectures will be given by eminent religious speakers of various faiths, starting April 7. Active cooperation with the WSSF and association with other oollege councils of religion will be additional phases of the commission's functions. LEADERS N'AMEJ) Groups under the auspices of the educational commission include the peace committee, affiliated with the Committee on Atomic Implications, headed by Carl Blaubach; the all-U forum committee with Charles Antis, chairman; and group discussions of philosophies of life under the leadership of George Lorenzi. These organizations have informal get-togethers to discuss and work out common social, economic, and political problems from a religious point of view. Such problems may concern the campus and. community. In further fields for development, the education commission envisions organizing a campus church, taking social action in race relations, and assisting in student housing. It also will concern itself with personal student problems and ethics. MEMBERS NEEDED Greater membership is needed in these groups and leaders are sought for the discussions and practical applications of these problems. The promotion commission, under the chairmanship of Juanita Robinson. is responsible for advertising and publicizing of special events and parties. It maintains contact with the Daily Trojan and the Alumni Review. Jackie Smith, chairman of the social-recreational commission, has the task of planning and developing social programs with the university and within the Council of Religion. students. “The college group as a rule is not a hospital group.” Dr. Greeley admitted. “We don’t intend to handle acute surgical and medical cases. These conditions would be sent on to city hospitals.” Dr. Greeley contended that any planned infirmary would have to be equipped with X-ray facilities, blood examination equipment, an electro cardiograph, and basal metabolism instruments. STANFORD LAUDED “Every student would have a chest plate on file, costing him approximately $1.90 if we possessed our own X-ray machine.” the health service director declared. “As it is at present, students pay out of their own pockets about $14,000 a year to city hospitals for such plates.” The present university health servioe is adequate for only 3,000 students .according to Dr. Greeley. He cited the splendid organization of the University of Stanford health service, where a staff of six fulltime doctors on campus and a specialty group of 30 doctors handle all major medical and surgical cases in a university hospital on campus. People on campus who feel thal their atomic education has been neglected will have a chance to correct this situation Wednesday-night at 7:30 when Dr. Warren L. Stafford, chief of medical division of the atomic project, addresses the All-university forum at the University church. The Council on Atomic Implications is presenting Dr. Stafford in the first of the All-university forums to be conducted this semester. Dr. Stafford, chief radiological officer at the Bikini “Operation Crossroad” will present a movie of the underwater explosion in conjunction with his address. The movie, which he himself made, presents a graphic picture of the destruction and deadliness of the fifth A-bomb. “Our only defense is retaliation and that is no defense at all. II two A-bombs were dropped in the off-shore waters of the Pacific near Los Angeles, this city would become a ghost town for 50 to 100 years.” he told the News reporter. Newly appointed dean of to# UCLA medical school. Dr. Stafford, in a recent speech discussing the underwater test at Bikini, said that the radiological effects of the first four bombs were slight because they were exploded in. the air. "That second we at Bikini really ties this business up in a knot literally astronomical quantities at m-dioftctive material became in tana*-ly mixed with the sea water, miet. and spray which accompanied tee formation of the giant mushroom of water which rose from the la#oon This atomic mist will deposit huge amounts of radium—equivalent anywhere from a ton to 100 to**. When this moves to over a city yon have to evacuate or ewsryone win die of gamma radiation.’’ Dr. Stafford said. Friday Concert Praised Band, Glee Club Show Makes Hit in Bovard by Al Lalane Tlie only bad timing in evidence at the Trojan band and glee clubs concert Friday night was the fact that it and the Howard Jones memorial dance were held on the same night. Director William Gould paced his three organizations through two hours of light and semi-classic music and obviously delighted a sizeable audience which overflowed from the main floor of Bovard auditorium into a goodly portion of the first balcony. Keenly aware that a large number of those present may have intended to proceed from the concert to the dance. Mr. Gould kept things moving steadily, holding curtain calls to a minimum and flatly refusing the insistent demands for encores. Not only outnumbered by the men’s glee club, but also outshined, the women's glee club, which opened the program, sounded fine until the men took the stage. Then the contrast became very apparent, and it was all in favor of the males. Such a comparison is not strict!)’ fair, however. The women sang very well; they were thoroughly rehearsed and did a good job, but the men had several things in their favor. Men’s voices are more versatile than women’s; a group such as this has about twelve notes' greater absolute range, and the basses provide a solid foundation for the harmonies which is absent in the women's choral group. In addition, the men were aided by the excellent accompaniment of Bob Hunter, who stuck with Director Gould like glue and supported the singers every inch of the way. Soloists Dolores Peterson, Barbara Dupuy, Don Gustafson, and William Hoganson all did well. Honors for the best voice go to Gustafson. and best “put-across-the-song ’ personality to Miss Peterson. Hit of the band portion of thp concert was a previously unannounced program addition called “Caribbean Fantasy.’’ a rumba by George Morrison. Thoroughly prepared. eye-appealing in their bright uniforms, and playing cleanly and expressively, they pleased both eye and ear from start to finish.

Other campus economists justify continued high taxes by pointing out that it follows a deflationary policy. Besides reducing the national debt, they contend a high income tax will regulate inflated consumer expenditures. Having less to spend, the consumer will not be able to keep pace with the inflation and the economy will soon adjust itself. Shaw Play to Run Five Days “You have the soul of a servant,” uttered Major Sergius Saranoff to Louka in a romantic scene when Louka refutes his advances in the George Bernard Shaw comedy “Arms and the Man” opening Thursday in Bovard for a five-day run. Scenes of love, laughter, and mild tragedy revolve around the Petkoff family in Bulgaria with Nancy Sheldon and Steve Cardwell starring as Raina, Major Petkoff daughter, and Captain Bluntchli, a Swiss fugitive from the Serbian army, respectively. Secondary leads are played by Madgel Wolfard as Louka, Petkoff's lady servant, and James McCloskey as Major Sergius Sar- | anoff, suitor of Raina.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCED Lynn Hartzler. chairman, announced a full schedule for the outstanding program of the educational commission. The commission will sponsor a series of eight lectures entitled, “Panorama of Religion.” Under the direction of Irene Lewis, the lectures will be given by eminent religious speakers of various faiths, starting April 7. Active cooperation with the WSSF and association with other oollege councils of religion will be additional phases of the commission's functions. LEADERS N'AMEJ) Groups under the auspices of the educational commission include the peace committee, affiliated with the Committee on Atomic Implications, headed by Carl Blaubach; the all-U forum committee with Charles Antis, chairman; and group discussions of philosophies of life under the leadership of George Lorenzi. These organizations have informal get-togethers to discuss and work out common social, economic, and political problems from a religious point of view. Such problems may concern the campus and. community. In further fields for development, the education commission envisions organizing a campus church, taking social action in race relations, and assisting in student housing. It also will concern itself with personal student problems and ethics. MEMBERS NEEDED Greater membership is needed in these groups and leaders are sought for the discussions and practical applications of these problems. The promotion commission, under the chairmanship of Juanita Robinson. is responsible for advertising and publicizing of special events and parties. It maintains contact with the Daily Trojan and the Alumni Review. Jackie Smith, chairman of the social-recreational commission, has the task of planning and developing social programs with the university and within the Council of Religion. students. “The college group as a rule is not a hospital group.” Dr. Greeley admitted. “We don’t intend to handle acute surgical and medical cases. These conditions would be sent on to city hospitals.” Dr. Greeley contended that any planned infirmary would have to be equipped with X-ray facilities, blood examination equipment, an electro cardiograph, and basal metabolism instruments. STANFORD LAUDED “Every student would have a chest plate on file, costing him approximately $1.90 if we possessed our own X-ray machine.” the health service director declared. “As it is at present, students pay out of their own pockets about $14,000 a year to city hospitals for such plates.” The present university health servioe is adequate for only 3,000 students .according to Dr. Greeley. He cited the splendid organization of the University of Stanford health service, where a staff of six fulltime doctors on campus and a specialty group of 30 doctors handle all major medical and surgical cases in a university hospital on campus. People on campus who feel thal their atomic education has been neglected will have a chance to correct this situation Wednesday-night at 7:30 when Dr. Warren L. Stafford, chief of medical division of the atomic project, addresses the All-university forum at the University church. The Council on Atomic Implications is presenting Dr. Stafford in the first of the All-university forums to be conducted this semester. Dr. Stafford, chief radiological officer at the Bikini “Operation Crossroad” will present a movie of the underwater explosion in conjunction with his address. The movie, which he himself made, presents a graphic picture of the destruction and deadliness of the fifth A-bomb. “Our only defense is retaliation and that is no defense at all. II two A-bombs were dropped in the off-shore waters of the Pacific near Los Angeles, this city would become a ghost town for 50 to 100 years.” he told the News reporter. Newly appointed dean of to# UCLA medical school. Dr. Stafford, in a recent speech discussing the underwater test at Bikini, said that the radiological effects of the first four bombs were slight because they were exploded in. the air. "That second we at Bikini really ties this business up in a knot literally astronomical quantities at m-dioftctive material became in tana*-ly mixed with the sea water, miet. and spray which accompanied tee formation of the giant mushroom of water which rose from the la#oon This atomic mist will deposit huge amounts of radium—equivalent anywhere from a ton to 100 to**. When this moves to over a city yon have to evacuate or ewsryone win die of gamma radiation.’’ Dr. Stafford said. Friday Concert Praised Band, Glee Club Show Makes Hit in Bovard by Al Lalane Tlie only bad timing in evidence at the Trojan band and glee clubs concert Friday night was the fact that it and the Howard Jones memorial dance were held on the same night. Director William Gould paced his three organizations through two hours of light and semi-classic music and obviously delighted a sizeable audience which overflowed from the main floor of Bovard auditorium into a goodly portion of the first balcony. Keenly aware that a large number of those present may have intended to proceed from the concert to the dance. Mr. Gould kept things moving steadily, holding curtain calls to a minimum and flatly refusing the insistent demands for encores. Not only outnumbered by the men’s glee club, but also outshined, the women's glee club, which opened the program, sounded fine until the men took the stage. Then the contrast became very apparent, and it was all in favor of the males. Such a comparison is not strict!)’ fair, however. The women sang very well; they were thoroughly rehearsed and did a good job, but the men had several things in their favor. Men’s voices are more versatile than women’s; a group such as this has about twelve notes' greater absolute range, and the basses provide a solid foundation for the harmonies which is absent in the women's choral group. In addition, the men were aided by the excellent accompaniment of Bob Hunter, who stuck with Director Gould like glue and supported the singers every inch of the way. Soloists Dolores Peterson, Barbara Dupuy, Don Gustafson, and William Hoganson all did well. Honors for the best voice go to Gustafson. and best “put-across-the-song ’ personality to Miss Peterson. Hit of the band portion of thp concert was a previously unannounced program addition called “Caribbean Fantasy.’’ a rumba by George Morrison. Thoroughly prepared. eye-appealing in their bright uniforms, and playing cleanly and expressively, they pleased both eye and ear from start to finish. |
