Burglary Wave Strikes Row While Students Take Holiday
s telephone exchange, a sort of island in the paral-ystem. will continue in operation, despite the nation-elephone strike, for a time at least, Mrs. Afton Yer-ief operator, said yesterday.
hough limited to local calls that do not require rout-
j ing through a city or long distance ! operator, the exchange will function | approximately as usual until lack of maintenance facilities gradually closes off service. Outside dial calls ! will go through normally.
Mrs. Yerger stated that the 400 telephone stations on campus would \ probably remain open if the strike j is not unusually prolonged, depend-j ing upon how long the dials system j holds out. No repair work will be i possible during the strike, she said. NON-UNION OPERATORS The campus exchange's four op-i erators, university employees, do ! not belong to any of the striking ; unions and are not required to join | the strike. None are personally af-j fected by it.
Mrs. Yerger labeled the strike a "fight to the finish” and declared ames. chairman of the uni- her opposite to it. An employee

Tlie philosophy, life, and writings of the much-criticized German Nobel Prize winner for literature in 1946. Hermann Hesse, is the topic set for discussion by Dr. Stanley R. Townsend, assistant professor of German, during the fifth of the weekly LAS-sponsored lectures tomorrow. The meeting is scheduled for 3:15 in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Selection of Hesse by the Nobel Prize committee last year was bitterly opposed by American critics, according to Dr. Townsend, since, even though being strongly influential throughout northeastern Europe, he was literally unknown in ■ America. Even after being ac-i claimed one of the top writers of i the year as the Nobel Prize winner,
1 one ieading American newrs magazine led the attack on Hesse with “Who is he?”
The Hesse philosophy, however, has been widely influential, especially in the youth movements of the pre-Hitler Germany. Bitterly opposed to Germany’s entanglements before both World wars, Hesse left Germany in 1912 and became a Swiss citizen^ From there he became a spokesman for German youth in a "youth vs. society” movement.
Hesse has written more than 50 books, only four of which have been widely translated. The most important of these, “The Wolf of the Steppes,” has made little headway on American reading lists because j of its strictly European style and topics.

Alvarez Freed By Jury Split
Chico Alvarez, accused of the Feb. 1 armed robbery of a naval enlisted man, was set free last Wednesday night after a jury of 12 law students were unable to render a unanimous verdict in the mock trial held in the School of Law auditorium. The jury became hung with a 10-2 vote.
accused by an equally mythical John Banks, radioman 3. c of the Long Beach air base, of robbing him at the point of a gun after offering him a ride back to the naval base.
Under regular legal procedure when a jury cannot agree to a unanimous verdict in a criminal trial a new jury must be picked and a new trial held.
However, since time was limted in this practice trial, and since both the student defense and prosecution got a grade from the affair, and since the whole thing wasn’t legally worth a tinkers, the court decided to be lenient and awarded the Azusa nightwatchman his freedom.

Driver Slugs Drunk As Students Cheer
Students in the vicinity oi the Student Union late yesterday afternoon witnessed a one-punch fist fight as a tipsy driver met his match on the comer of University and 36th street.
The affair started at the corner of Hoover and Adams as one of the drivers, coming to SC to pick up his wife who works here, first no-; ticed the other weaving in front of his car. He finally passed the other i car with a few words in passing on what he thought of the driving.

He termed it a tentative plan designed to “restore justice in relations between employers and employes." But it was drafted with the help of several committeemen after a month’s study, and there was every indication that it would receive widespread support, at least among the Republicans.
The new bill, which contains a “national emergency” clause giving the government limited powers to deal with such strikes as the current telephone walkout, is expected to reach the senate sometime next week. Taft said the committee will start voting on its 62 pages cf varied
provisions Friday. He declined to guess whether a majority will support them.
Taft and other GOP leaders told newsmen that congress probably will proceed as scheduled on labor law revisions, and not attempt to jam through any quick remedies for the telephone and coal mine controversies. A high ranking house Republican said that neither President Truman nor any federal agency has asked for help, and there would be no point in enacting emergency measures without knowing whether Truman would accept them.

Misrepresentation and confusion rising out of attempt* of campus organizations to secure prominent public speakers on controversial matters led members of the executive council of the Los Angeles University of International Relation* last week to instruct John Bonk, president, to ask the AS9C aarmtm to reaffirm and guarantee constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly.
The resolution will probably be presented to the senate tomorrow night when article 7, concerning freedom of speech and assembly on the campus, comes up for discussion in debate on adoption of the new ASSC constitution.
NEW CONSTITUTION Article 7 of the proposed constitution, now being: considered by tfce senate, prohibits certain powers to 1 all ASSC organisations. These pro-! hibited powers are legislating or directing any act or policy which ha* a race, creed, or religious qualification; legislating or directing any act or policy which prevents freedom of assembly; and legislating or i directing any act providing for censorship of ASSC publications.
