Dancers Hear Grossman Band
Al Grossman, the SC student whose 8-piece band is supplying the music for the College of Pharmacy's all-U dig tomorrow night, has been in the music-making business since 1S37 when he traveled around the country with a show band in order to pick up experience.
Grossman, a pharmacy major himself, formed the nucleus of his present group back in 1938. The following year the band was featured on the KMTR radio show, •'Youth on Parade.”
VETS IN COMBO
Until the war sent most of the members of the combo into the armed services, they played short engagements at most of the well-known hotels and country clubs in and around Los Angeles.
With the war over and the point system in action, Grossman was fortunate in being able to bring most of the old band back together again. They were introduced to SC students last May when they played for an SC dance at the Beverly Wilshire hotel.
‘LIGHTLY, POLITELY*
Featuring his original “Lightly but Politely” music, the Grossman organization consists of piano, drums, bass, trumpet, trombone, and three saxophones. Members of the group have been with such name bands as those of Stan Kenton. Jimmie Grier, and Ken Baker's early band.
As a special feature for Friday night's dance at the Alexandria hotel, Boyd Dorton is scheduled to present a novelty number called A Day at the College of Pharmacy.”
Hero Knows Boxing Game
by Dick Eshleman
Most stage and screen portrayals of prizefighters are done by middle-aged Hollywood gentlemen with sagging biceps and flabby chests. Rarely does the dramatic gladiator seem able to do so much as lift his heavy boxing glove to arm level.
Steve Cardwell, who plays hero Joe Pendleton in tonight's “Heaven Can Wait,” is a welcome exception to the unhappy rule. Fact is, the boy is really built. When he hits the bouncing bag, it stays hit. He knows his way around a ring and can conduct himself with all the aplomb of the fighter. All he lacks is a cauliflower ear. ATTENDED SANTA CLARA
Cardwell, who is now doing graduate work at SC. once did a little nose-flattening on the side while attending school at Santa Clara. Those feints and uppercuts he throws at both earthly and heavenly opponents during the play are the real thing.
Cardwell is well content with his role as Pendleton, a sad young pug who toots a sax and flies a plane and who gets mixed up with some of the second-level officials up in heaven.
“It's been a great experience,” Cardwell says, "and I'm pretty lucky playing a lead under an understanding director like Miss Frieda Meblin.”
Miss Meblin, for her part, lauds Cardwell's work and claims he should score a knockout in the first.

Oriental Economy Topic of Seminar
Dr. Eugene Staley, director of the institute of Pacific relations, will discuss the “Economic Development of the Orient” with the teacher’s institute of economics seminar this afternoon at 4 in 339 Bridge.
Dr. Staley is one of a series of outside speakers who supply pertinent information to the seminar's problem study. This fall the group is considering the question of the effect of loaning funds to foreign countries on our domestic economy.
Skitch Henderson, pianist on the Crosby show, and Betty Russell, radio-singing star, made a visit to Bovard auditorium yesterday to participate in the Community Chest rally, but their talents were wasted when the program was suddenly cancelled.
Cancellation of the “over-the-goal” rally was primarily due to the unexpected illness of the well-known ABC star Tommy Riggs. Lack of authority to use Bovard auditorium's concert grand piano and stage also proved a serious handicap to the performers, Paul Wildman, chairman of the SC campaign, explained.
Wildman announced that Chi Omega sorority had passed the 100 per cent mark in their donations to SC’s S5000 goal. The Chi Omegas have donated more than $1 per person.
Experts Will Debate Proposition No. 11
The fair employment practices act, proposition number 11, will be debated this noon in Bovard auditorium by Avir- j ell Berman, KLAC news commentator, and Carl Gould. Los Angeles corporation lawyer. This debate, the first of its kind to be held at SC, is being sponsored by the joint services groups on campus.

BERMAN FAVORS BILL
“One hundred per cent for the bill” is Mr. Berman s stand. He was educated at Manitoba in Canada and took his master's degree at the University of Minnesota. Berman feels that management, operating under a governed entrepreneur system will still be able to secure all of the necessary talents that it needs.
"The fact that the cpmmission will be appointed by the Warren administration, which is favorable to management, should indicate that decisions rendered by the commission will not favor labor,

U.S. Approves Molotov Plan
UN ASSEMBLY HALL, Flushing Meadows, N. Y., Oct. 30. (U.P) —The United States today welcomed Russia’s disarmament plan but offered a sweeping arms reduction program of its own backed by a system of International inspection and other means to prevent violation and evasion.
Warren R. Austin, United States chief delegate, offered the American plan in a reply in the UN general assembly to criticisms made by Russian Foreign Minister Viacheslav Molotov yesterday.
“The United States urges disarmament.” he said. 'The United States believes that Mr. Molotov's proposal should be placed on our agenda and fully considered and discussed.
“The United States Is prepared to cooperate fully with all members of the UN in disarmament. It advocates effective safeguards by way of inspection and other means to protect complying states against the hazards of violation and evasion.” U. S. PLAN But Austin warned the assembly as regards the United States: “After the last war we made the mistake of disarming unilaterally. We shall not repeat that mistake.” Austin also, tn a retort to the Russian demand for a statement of the disposition of allied troops in non-enemy countries, challenged the Soviet Union to join in a general allied statement of the total armed forces mobilized at home and abroad.
In this connection, Austin said tartly in welcoming Russia’s disarmament plan:
RUSSIAN PLAN APPROPRIATE
“The initiative of the Soviet Union in this matter is appropriate, because of its mighty armies, just as the initiative of the United States was appropriate in proposing measures to prevent the manufacture and use of atomic weapons.” Austin emphasized that the United States wants, as part of an atomic energy control plan, full safeguards against nations and evasions.
The United States condition that in both disarmament and atomic energy control, there should be full safeguards against evasion runs directly against Russia’s refusal to permit inspections of any sort on her territory.

Byrnes Risks Russian War, Says Wallace
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30— (UP)— Henry A. Wallace, former Democratic vice-president and cabinet member, tonight charged that Secretary of State James F. Byrnes had been “needled” into risking war with Russia by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenburg and the war and navy departments.
In a speech prepared for delivery at a political rally for Democratic -Farmer-Laborite candidates here, Wallace said he “refused to believe that Secretary Byrnes is happy with the way in which Senator Vandenburg, the army and navy are making foreign policy.” Earlier, *in a luncheon speech at McAllister college in St. Paul, Wallace charged former British Prime Minister Winston ChurchiU with leading the “mischief making.” and of being the world's “greatest Red baiter.”
CHURCHILL ‘DISCORDANT*
“Since I left the government, a trend towards modifying our position has been evident. However, discordant voices such as that of Winston Churchill still speak up.” “Certainly Secretary Byrnes was not responsible for navy fliers writing the initials F.D.R. over the skies of Royalist Greece,” Wallace said in his speech tonight.
“Certainly Secretary Byrnes did not authorize Admiral Halsey to say that our navy would go where-ever it damned pleased.
“It is hard to believe that Secretary Byrnes is pressing for outright U. S. ownership and fortification of the Ryuku Islands in such a way as to be a definite and distinct threat to the free access to the seas by the Russians from their only warm-water Pacific port.” MILTARY PREPARE FOR WAR The military necessarily think and prepare to meet the “next possible enemy,” Wallace said, while the state department thinks about that enemy and plans for peaceful relations.

Navy Reserve Plans Cruise For Weekend
Local naval reserve units are swinging into action with an overnight cruise to Santa Barbara scheduled for November 2, it was announced today. Featuring shore leave in Santa Barbara and two full days pay, the trip is on a strictly voluntary basis for reservists.
Other developments in the naval reserve program include announcements that former air corps officers are now being accepted in the 0-6 organized reserve, and that plans are being made to hold dances on the last Friday of each month.

Troy Knights Circulate D.T.
Many of the students at SC have been missing their copy of the Daily Trojan (horrors) because they have been unable to get to the Student Union before all of those hungry readers bore them off. Rumor has it that subsistence-checkless vets are the chief offenders. One man says that, properly salted and peppered. DTs served to fill that aching void very nicely.
Stepping to the fore in their customary role of service to the university, Trojan Knights have announced that they will put a stop to such practices by distributing the DT over the campus.
New points of distribution to be added to regular Student Union boxes are under the bulletin hoard in the east wing of the annex, under the bulletin^ board in the Engineering building, and under the bulletin board in Bridge hall
‘ Furthermore, this seat shall be fi’led by a general veteran election before Nov. 27, 1946. and shall extend untU the termination of the present ASSC elective offices. At this time the selection shall be included in the general ASSC election procedure and shall run as long as the veterans comprise at least 20 per cent of the student body.”
WITHDRAWS AMENDMENT
Withdrawal by Anita Norcop. AWS president, of an amendment submitted by her at a previous meeting which would have given Trovets a nonvoting seat on the senate opened the way for the new proposal. The withdrawal was agreed to by Joe Holt, AMS president, who had previously seconded Miss Norcop’s amendment.
Laying to rest, at least temporarily, the oft-repeated charge that the senate is faction-ridden, the amendment will be debated at the next meeting of the senate and voted upon at a subsequent meeting in accordance with the ASSC constitution.
Following a report by Bill Stella, chairman of the Student Union committee, on the availability of offices for student organizations, Bob Peck, senior class president, proposed that the senate request offices for all recognized student groups and that the senate further request that no further changes be made in the allocation of Student Union office space without approval of the senate.
Backed by Connie Wahlquist. Knights president. Holt, and Dobkin, the motion passed without a dissenting vote.
Immediately after approval of Peck's motion, Bill Winn, sopho-(Continued on Page Four)
