The newspaper scorebook forwarded to the Trojan contained criticisms and suggestions about all departments and features of the Daily Trojan. The critics commented on the sports page saying “good cropping and use of art work. Pictures show life and action and add greatly to the display.” TERMED PROFESSIONAL
“Your paper is* professional even to having poor headlines. They are not up to your own standards of coverage and writing,” was the comment from the critics on the Daily Trojan’s headlines.
The critics praised the Trojan for its excellent crusade on the parking problem, saying the stories were well written and contained good angles.
This is the first time in the past several years that the Daily Trojan has won the Pacemaker award, regardless of the fact that it is usually on the all-American list.

At Long Last— Student Card File Available
Better late than never and better orderly than early. Such is fhe verdict of the LAS council, which, announced yesterday that due to their efforts the studant card file will now be available to woitf«d-be name hunters.
A bit belatedly, the card file now appears in the foyer of the Student Union, next to the bookstore, with all students’ program cards, names and addresses filed alphabetically and permanently (due to wooden rods through them — something new that has been added through the work and persistence of the council.)
Although the ♦construction of the new boxes and other production delays, such as Tirebiter’s illegible paw mark, resulted in F te delivery of the finished product, the new boxes should result In future security for the cards, since they can not be removed or mixed up.
Proud of their achievement, and hoping that it is not too late in the term for black-book fillers to complete their files, LAS council-, ors bade farewell to the cards forever, and proceeded to their the projects with the firm conviction that a service organization should assume the filing job next term.

The question as to what action would be immediately taken received more controversial opinionating than any of the resolutions the committee enforced. Al Kotler, president of ZBT, stated that he was under the impression that the group was formed for the sole purpose of investigating the defacing activities brought upon his house. However, the majority of those present supported a plank not only to give direct action to one definite investigation, but to arouse and form a student organization to work for the downfall of all anti-democratic elements on campus.
“It is necessary that we form a concrete organization in an intellectual fashion, not an emotional one,” stated Mitchell... Dean Hancey suggested that the heaping of free Ku Klux Klan publicity should be frowned upon, for “publicity and emotion is not the way to fight this.” He advocated refraining from any sensationalism.
Jim Mitchell, president-elect of the ASSC, and Bob Peck, newly-elected prexy of the senior class, were elected co-chairmen of the group, and Jo Kliner, executive head of the local Hillel, took over the secretarial duties.

Stamp Features Ruptured Duck
The “ruptured duck” or the golden eagle discharge emblem of veterans will soon be seen on a United States 3-cent postage stamp. According io Mrs. Nell Luethke, clerk in the University park post office in the Administration build, ing, the new stamp issue, which honors discharged veterans, was released last May 9 to the philatelic trade. It will not be released to the general public for about two weeks.
The main moti: of the stamp is the golden eagle, as seen on the honorable discharge emblem. Be-neath the eagle are the words, “Honoring Those Who Have Served.” In addition, there are five gold stars, commemorating those who died ir the five services of their country during the war.
Mrs. Luethke stated that she has already had many calls for 'the stamp but that for the time being they can be had only at the main post office, at the philatelic window.
Of additional interest is the fact that the United States has now ex. tended air mail service to almost every country in the world. Rates will be quoted upon application to Mrs. Luethke.
Gendarme Warns Impetuous Drivers Of Hasty Parking
Warning to SC drivers:
Don’t park your means of transportation m front of driveways.
One red-faced Trojan yesterday afternoon rescued his equally red convertible from the hands of the law midst a group of between-class spectators.
A 35lh street resident, unable to gain exit from his driveway, placed a hurried call to the local gendarmerie. Soon a radio car and a tow. truck were on the scene.
And, before the eyes of student kibitzers, the rec! convertable was hoisted into the air and was on its way to the middle of the street.
The embarrassed owner, nonchal. antly fumbling w: th a cigarette, approached, the oi>eration, failed to notice a leaking radiator, and gave out with the necessary viial statistics to the cops.
The two-truck operator set the convertible back on its recaps and moved off.
Properly tagged and disciplined, the red convertible and its owner did likewise.

Memorial Ball Fetes Mellow-Rooney Music
Gaillard’s ‘Be-Bop,’ Martin’s ‘Boogie’ Blended ‘ With Savitt’s ‘Smooth Sax’ for Lavish Event
Enchantment via the “Bumble Boogie,” the staccato rhythm of Slim Gaillard’s “be-bop” music, and the “man with the smooth saxaphone,” have stirred a good percentage of SC’s student population into the “swing of things” for the Howard Jones Memorial ball Saturday night.
----- With only three days left to buy
r............-	..........................- bids, Joe Holt, president of the
Knights, disclosed late yesterday that the “dance was over the ‘hump’ and from now on all the bid money taken in will be clear profit—the proceeds going toward the building of an athletic field house.”
There will be' no lack of entertainment at the Glendale Civic auditorium Saturday night, Holt pointed out, not with the line-up of music masters like Freddie Martin’s orchestra, Jan Savitt’s band, the Slim Gaillard trio, and a host of university entertainers.
GAILLARD COCKTAIL Even those few SC students who don’t speak Greek may be able to understand the picturesque Gaillard treatment of such works as “Atom Cocktail” and the more outstanding “Yey-Roc Heresay.” Downbeat magazine maintains that “even those who doubt linguist Gaillard’s musical ability admit his musical humor sends.”
BID BONUS
From another comer of the campus came the report that 200-pound Ray Hayden, engineering major and the swimming team's breast stroker, still searching for his veteran’s sub-sistance, sold a pint of blood in order to secure funds for the affair.
At $5 per bid, Hayden still has $15 left for a corsage and some after-the-dance nourishment.
A campus key-toter pointed out that it was certainly fortunate that Freddie Martin’s soft, slow music would feature the ball because “that guy Hayden won't be able to ‘jump with Savitt’ or ‘be-bop’ with Gaillard.
TALKING FINGERS
One of the feature's of Martin's band is seated at the piano. He’s Jack Fina. the “talking-fingers” boy who has educated the “bobbie-sox-ers” on Tschaikowsky with his arrangements of such tunes as “Piano Concerto.” Pina leaves the Martin aggregation June 1 to front a group of his own, so SC dancers will get a last chance to catch the “Bumble Boogie” arranger.
Bids for the Saturday night Memorial ball are on sale in the University bookstore, in 208 Student Union, in front of the Student Union, or may be purchased from any Knight.
GIVEN TECH FOUR Along with the “name bands” will appear the “Given Tech” varsity show quartet composed of Art Welles, Johnny Greer, Charlie McCarthy (no relation to Edgar Bergen), and Johnny Green.
Holt had a lot more to say about the ball—especially that if the guys and gals didn’t hurry up and buy their bids they might find themselves on the outside peeking through the window.
Iran Reports On Russians
NEW YORK, May 21. —'' (UP) —’ Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala, acting in accordance with new instructions from his government, today prepared a report to the United Nations Security Council confirming the complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Iran by May 6.
Ala’s new report retracted earlier charges of continued Russian “interferences” in Azerbaijan.
The new Iranian report, expected to be made public in a few hours, appeared likely to clear the way for the UN Security Council to close its books on the long-standing Iranian case when it meets tomorrow morning.
A member of the British security council delegation said that if the new Iranian report is a “clear categorical statement” that the Russians have completely pulled out of Iran, the council might well decide to drop the matter.
Ala had filed a report with the council last night asserting that “Soviet interference” in Iran's internal affairs was still going on two week% after the May 6 deadline for final evacuation of Red army occupation troops. He was instructed today to withdraw this assertion.
When the council meets tomorrow, Soviet delegate Andre A. Gromyko will almost certainly not be in his seat, since he has declared his intention not to take part in any further discussions of the situation in Iran. He boycotted the council's May 8 meeting, the last time Iran was on the agenda.
Although there was a possibility that Australia or some other council member may ask tomorrow for a formal investigation of the Iranian case, British and American officials said such action would be “embarrassing” to the council since Iran has actually withdrawn her appeal for UN intervention to halt Soviet
“interferences.”
Knights
. . . will meet today at 4 in the Senate Chambers, according to Joe Holt, president Plans for the Jones Memorial ball ‘will be discussed.
President's Office Notice
