Bruins Hide Pates, Disturbances Halt
Bruin heads were treated with vaseline yesterday, former enthusiasts nursed bald spots and wore colorful caps to hide the results of Monday’s fray on the local campus.

Facts Refute Field Wetting
No watering of Coliseum grounds was done by SC.
No students were inside the Coliseum to do any damage.
No waterhoses were turned on the field Friday night before the game.
These facts were revealed by Franklin Skeele, director of the university news bureau, in discussing the story of pregame vandalism in the Coliseum which appeared in a local newspaper Saturday afternoon.
Tlie story featured a supposed brawl between SC and UCLA stu-oents on the football field after one of the schools had turned on the waterhoses “to help nature along.”
Investigation of the charges by Bill Ackerman, UCLA graduate manager, and William Nicholas, manager of the Coliseum, revealed that the story was without foundation.
“Editors of the paper are checking the facts of the story, and they may print a retraction." Skeele said.
“However, it is unfortunate that a news service picked up the story and that the false information was printed and broadcast over the country,” he added.
sides to prevent further rioting.
With one eye on Tommy Trojan, who still displayed some of the results of pre-and-post game vandalism, university police are patrolling the campus with instructions to “prevent any further violations and mistreatment of persons and property.’’

both sides, and as a whole, everything remained quiet yesterday.
A statement from Carl Hancey, dean of men. said, in effect, that both campuses should be satisfied with the damage done, and that students must halt the demonstrations.
Stern warning came at the same time from the dean's office, to report any further damage done by SC students, found on the UCLA campus, will be met with strict disciplinary action.
SITUATION IN HAND “We think the situation is pretty well in hand, and we do not expect any further disturbances,” Dean Hancey said.

Students Count SC Blessings
This is the time of the year when every newspaper in the country comes out with a long list of the things for which the American public can be heartily thankful.
It has become a tradition. Not even a two-page shopping news in Bayou Bottom, La., would think of omitting this feature from its November issue.
For this reason, and as a service to Its readers, the D.T. has compiled a list of things over which SC students can wax gleeful this Thanksgiving.
For instance, aren’t you thankful that the annex wasn’t built west of Vermont? Or that 5000 more students didn’t enroll this semester? Or that Old College is post-Renaissance? And especially that there is no school tomorrow or Friday and no more room to continue this article?
Y Fund Drive Begins Monday
“Make this drive build it.” the pledge of the Y building fund committee, was reaffirmed at its meeting yesterday. Julia Millikan, chairman. outlined scheduled events and made last-minute plans for next week’s campaign.
As many groups as possible are asked to take part in the drive toward the $100,000 goal. Many campus organizations, including all Y clubs. wrill sponsor drives throughout the week. Funds were boosted last week with the AWS donation of Taxi day proceeds, Miss Millikan pointed out.
“With increased enrollment and student activities the present building has become very cramped,” said Mrs. Ruth Grant, Y executive-sec-retary, in a statement following the meeting.
The new building will serve the entire campus with meeting rooms, a chapel, and the only banquet room on campus. Floor plans and a watercolor of the proposed structure will be on display at the Y all during next week.
Other events definitely slated are the Sophomore-Junior club apple sale Monday and Tuesday, the Freshman club candy sale Monday, and the Faith club sale of popcorn balls on Thursday. Support is assured from Phrateres, AWS, Troeds. and other women’s organizations.
Mildred Hyde was appointed to supervise distribution of boxes around the campus for contributions.
The drive will cap years of plans and preparations for suitable Y-housing on campus.
Lewis to Face Federal Judge In Strike Trial
Prosecution Promises Action Forcing UMW To Kill Coal Walkout
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26— 'UP)— The government presents Its case against John L. Lewis to a federal court judge tomorrow determined on a course of “no retreat” in its offensive to force the United Mine Workers boss to call off the crippling strike of soft coal miners.
The walkout, which has resulted in shutdowns in major industries, curtailment of freight shipments, dimouts in cities, and disruption of normal activities every where, has been in effect six days. No end is in sight.
LARGE COST It is costing the country 1,885.865 tons of coal a day, government experts reported. The solid fuels administration said the few remaining open mines are producing only 300,939 tons daily. It reported that 3,613 mines are idle east of the Mississippi river, involving 318,940 miners, while only 562 are remaining open, involving 27.648 miners.
Lewis goes before Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough at 10 a.m. tomorrow to stand trial on contempt of court charges growing out of his failure to obey a temporary restraning order requiring him to withdraw notice of termination of the UMW's contract with the government. This notice resulted in the walkout of 400.000 miners, since the UMW has refused consistently to send its members into the pits without a contract.
SOUNDING OUT While attorneys for both sides assembled evidence for what they hoped would be a speedy trial, reports circulated here that some government officials and mine operators were sounding Lewis ou; informally on the prospects of bringing him and the mine owners together in an effort to hasten settlement of the strike.
The mines now are being operated by the government, which has indicated willingness to return them to the owners for direct negotiation with the UMW.
Norcop Nabs Speech Championship Event
Editor Betrays Secret: El Rod Hiding in Union
“How can I get my copy of the El Rodeo?”
“Come to 212 Student Union Monday,” advised Diane Lockhart, editor of the yearbook. “Distribution will begin at 9 a.m.” Students who desire their copy of last year’s edition and who no longer attend the university, should mail their yellow activity * book plus 50 cents for postage, to Ken Stonier, manager of publications.
“Would you pu-leez remind everyone to keep their appointments with the university photographer? If they don’t, they cannot have their picture in the 1947 El Rodeo,” Mlss Lockhart warned, with emphasis.
Dress regulations for appoint* ments include tie, coat, and shirt for men. Women students should wear black date dresses, simple styles, and no jewelry, including rings.
R.C. Extends Date on Gifts For Sawtelle
Dahl to Direct Choral Group
ner hour last night.
The sirens, however, emanated from the bright red trucks of the Los Angeles fire department, and their target was the School of Law. Students in a first-year property class therein blithely studied on until they heard the hoards of firemen thundering up the stairs, then went out in time to see the smouldering remnants of a broomcloset right across the hall from their classroom.
While no statement could be obtained frcm the police department, police officers were guarding the approaches to both schools Mon-cay night and yesterday with instructions to turn away cars with either SC or UCLA stickers.
In the meantime, officials from both sides are predicting a quiet Thanksgiving.
ASSC Senate
. . . will not meet tonight, Jim Mitchell, ASSC president, announced.
Plan Attacks Bridge Jam
In an effort to alleviate the congested traffic situation at the entrance to Bridge hall, the greater university committee will execute a plan to control the between-classes flow of students, according to Chairman Pat Hillings.
Knights. Squires, and other campus service groups will be stationed at the main entrance to Bridge hall next week to direct incoming traffic through the main entrance and outgoing students through the side doors.
Other - projects under consideration by the committee are veterans’ housing, upon which it hopes to get action “in the near future,” and revision of the student handbook under the direction of committee members Dick Eshleman and Hal Hodges of the Daily Trojan staff.
A small library of student handbooks from other schools has been collected, and the handbook, which Eshleman described as being “badly in need of being brought up to date,” is going to get a “complete overhauling.”
A plan-forming body, whose projects are executed by campus service groups, the committee handles the annual high school advisement day and promotes closer relationship between school and alumni.
Consisting of four veterans and three coeds, committee members, in addition to Hillings, include Jake Gardetto, Norman Gallentine, Jea Morf, Sylvia Lovell, Libby Jeffries, Hodges, and Eshleman. Committee meetings are held twice monthly in the student senate chambers.
UMW to Win,
Says Lecturer
“John L. Lewis will emerge winner in his conflict with the government over the present coal strike,” Adamantios Th. Polyzoides, lecturer in international relations, stated yesterday before the regular meeting of the IR club.
“Lewi# and the operators will get together and settle the contro\ersy, continued Mr. Polyzoides. “The cost, as usual, wiU fall on the consum-ers.”
The government does not have a strong legal case in this dispute, according to Mr. Polyzoides.
“The present agreement was made last May, and the government has done little to work out a satisfae. tory agreement,” he said.
“Lewis’ behavior during this dispute reminds one of the attitude of Stalin,” added Mr. Polyzoides. “It is just as hard to contact Lewis about the present affair as it is to get into the Kremlin.”
“The closing down of the coal mines during the strike will have international repercussions,” said Mr. Polyzoides. “If Europe cannot get coal from us or Great Britain, the conditions of its countries will grow steadily worse. This will bring about a trend to the left, because it is hard to convince a cold and hungry man that there is no hope in the promises of Russia.”
Spurred by lack of response, both from organized and independent women students, Margaret Crawford, chairman of the Red Cross Christmas drive, yesterday extended the deadline for submission of pac1'- ^“c ages for veterans in the domiciliary wards at Sawtelle to Dec. 6.
Designed to bring some measure of Christmas cheer to-veterans who might otherwise be forgotten during the holiday season, the drive is an attempt to provide 450 packages containing such smoking equipment ac pipes, tobacco, cigarettes, and cigarette lighters. No package is to exceed $2.50 in value. \
Contributors are asked by Miss Crawford to wrap each item separately and to indicate the contents on a slip of paper attached to the outside of the package. Red Cross representatives will collect gifts from sororities and dormitories. Other organizations and indepen* dent students are asked to leave packages in the boxes provided for that purpose at the main desk, University library, and 226 Student Union.
Cards to be attached to the packages are being distributed to organizations by Miss Crawford and Elouise Hoff. Tags for the gifts from individual students will be affixed by the Red Cross.
Six Other Trojan Debaters Enter Finals at San Jose **
Anita Norcip) out-tal£e<? all w^n!in "entries in the speech and debate tournament at San Jose college yesterday to capture the western states championship as six other SC debaters rode triumphantly into the finals in almost all
events.
Speaking without preparation. Miss Norcop and Louise Shahan downed opposition to become finalists in the women’s extemporaneous field, with Milt Dobkin and Eph Konigsberg also entering the senior men's extemporaneous finals.
Among the juniors, Alex Googoo-ian’s going strong on the last lap of the junior men's extemporaneous race. He is also a finalist in the impromptu speaking competition.
Dobkin and Konigsberg, stellar debaters in last year's contest, have entered the finals in the senior men's forum panel, while Googooian and Anita Norcop duplicated their success in the junior men's and senior women’s panel discussions.
Rae Hansen is a finalist in after-dinner and interpretive' speaking matches for women. Konigsberg has climbed one step from the top in senior men's after-dinner speaking.
Skillful impromtu talks have placed Konigsberg and Gerald Nordland as finalists in this classification. Dobkin is also on the last lap in oratory competition.
Phoning in tournament results last night, Kenny Gabriel, debate manager, said that final matches would be run off tomorrow. There were no results from debate at time of going to press.
“Te Deum laudamus!” (“We praise Thee, Lord!”)
This musical work, the concluding selection of the combined or chestra-chorus concert on the eve ning of Dec. 6, will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Composer Anton Bruckner.
“It is strange that we at this uni versity are the only ones who are observing the anniversary of one of the greatest symphonists.” Ingolf Dahl, director of the university orchestra, said yesterday. “Bruckner is being neglected by all, although this year would have been an occasion for the symphony orchestras to reacquaint music lovers with his majestic and deeply moving sym phonies.”
NOTES COMING
Mr. Dahl, at the same time, re leased short program comments on each number to be played on the concert. As there are five principal compositions on the program, one of these short comments will be published each day beginning next Monday, Dec. 2, so that by Friday, Dec. 6, the day of the concert, the full program will have been covered.
Orchestra selections on the program will include works of Beethoven. Tschaikowsky, and Copland, compositions ranging chronologically from 1800 to 1942.
SONATA FEATURED
Lillian Steuber and John Crown, faculty pianists, wii perform Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, Bartok. and the orchestra and chorus will conclude with the Bruckner “Te Deum.” Soloists with the chorus in this work are to be Margaret Christman, Florence Green, Robert Vaughn, and Carl Yaeger.
Starting at 8:15 p.m. in Bovard auditorium, the concert is open to the public, free of charge.
Scripts . . .
.. . and music deadline has been extended from Nov. 30 to Dec. 15 for all contestants. Bill Gould, general director of the varsity show, announced last night.
India VS. Maharajahs
Red Cross Gives SC Needle Work
Women students who are handy with a needle can acquire activity points by assisting in the task of hemming baby hands for civilian foreign relief.
Women students interested in this project should see Christian Deming, Red Cross production chairman, in 226 Student Union.
Civil Liberties Extinct, Says Bourke-White
Maharajahs of the princely states of India have only a few more years to go, said Margaret Bourke-White as she presented a picture of India almost as graphic as her photographs, on Monday night at the Modern Forum lecture in Philharmonic auditorium.
“The maharajahs, who have been kept in power by the British, are hated by the people. No civil liberties exist in the princely states, and the record of brutalities is unbelievable,” she said.
Miss Bourke-White, who has recently returned from an eight-months assignment in India for Life magazine, believes the Moslems and Hindus in India will resolve their differences once they have been given responsibilities for the future of their country.
SLOGANS INCITE RIOTS She asserted that communal rioting is the result of use of religious slogans used to inflame the uneducated, sensitive masses.
Although the official number of
Indians killed during the Calcutta riot was given as 8000. Miss Bourke-White said that an unofficial and more accurate figure is 15,000.
She said that she had reached no conclusions about Gandhi, who “seems to some as a simple old man, •but is really too complex and difficult.” ^
“If Gandhi is a simple man, he has a quality of simplicity which is found only in India,” she added.
Gandhi is so simple now, that he travels third class, according to Miss Bourke-White.
LEADER TRAVELS WITH GOAT
“But, when he travels third class, he takes over a whole third class train or three or four third class cars. He takes his family, his office crew, and a goat with him,” she remarked.
Orthodox Hindus do not drink cow’s milk. Miss Bourke - White pointed out, and Gandhi is extremely orthodox.
He is so simple, she ad<}»<£'that
Debate Snags ASSC Croup
Hampered by the absence of two of its members, the constitutional committee yesterday limited debate to consideration of definitions of the terms “college” and “membership” within the meaning of the ASSC constitution.
Now engaged in discussions which are to lead to eventual rewriting of the document, the committee deferred a request by Anne Pearce that a vote be taken on the ad visibility of proportional representation and the use of the preferential ballot.
Agreement was reached on thc inadequacy of the present definition of the word “college” in its relation to membership in ASSC. Confusion results because of lack of clarification of students in the Schools of Law and Medicine.
Identification cards of students in the College of Music still bear LAS designations. Miss Pearce alleged. The position of part-time students as members of ASSC was also questioned by Miss Pearce.
Action on both questions was deferred pending an official opinion from the university administration.
“The committee would welcome the participation of members of the student body in discussions being held,’’ Alf Harrison, chairman declared. We would prefer to have suggestions in written form before each meeting of the committee, and we ask such students to apear at our metings to argue in favor of their suggestions.”
The committee meets each Tuesday afternoon at 3:15, 229 Student Union.
