Agrees to Position As Co-Chairman With Paul Wildman
Jesse Unruh accepted the co-chairmanship of the senate housing committee yes-| terday and signed a peace pact with recently elected chairman Paul Wildman to work together with him in a new four-point plan for the student housing program.
Unruh immediately pledged : himself to cooperate with Wildman in every pha.se of the housing task. He stated to Wildman and the Daily Trojan. “I accepted this cochairmanship because privately I’m interested in acquiring housing and I think that this is an issue above partisanship, and I will cooperate to the fullest degree in any measure that promises to provide housing. I feel confident that something constructive can be accomplished.”
STOPPED BICKERING Both Unruh and Wildman shoved aside the controversial bickering and drew up four new propos-j als. They intend to set up a cen-| tral clearing house where records | will be filed to keep the students | informed on vacancies, new hous-: es, persons moving or planning to move from college area, and sale ! and rental prices.

Twenty barracks-classroom units lor placement on campus may be ready for use by September, according to Charles Macbeth, assistant business manager.
To expand classroom and laboratory facilities, the university made arrangements with the federal government to obtain the army barracks from Santa Ana air base. Ten barracks, each with a usable space of 4800 square feet, have already been acquired.
Occupants on the land for the barracks in each instance have to be consulted, and arrangements, complicated by the housing shortage, made f(* their moving. Next, the land has to be cleared so the barracks can be placed.

TAGGING ANOTHER violator in the daily search for careless campus drivers is Patrolman Edward E. Gilliland from the University avenue precinct, shown above. He and his cohorts issue nearly 40 parking tickets a day to university car owners.
Parking carelessness by SC drivers is being continued, according to Los Angeles police officials Who have tagged as many as 30 to 40 violators in daily checks on campus.
Favorite hunting grounds for the “taggers’’ is University avenue, where parking is prohibited because ! the thin “island” strip designates it as a park.
SC commuters also have hindered the driving facilities of nearby residents by parking in front of driveways. Trojans are cautioned by officials to refrain from this practice ! along with parking in “no standing”
I zones.
FREE SPACE OFFERED
Room for parking still is being I offered by the service station on the northwest corner of Vermont street and Exposition boulevard.
The police department also asked students not to leave keys in their cars. Recently three student automobiles were stolen from a campus, parking lot because the keys had been left in them. Valuables should be kept out of sight, preferably locked up in the trunk, according to the police.
PATROLMAN SPEAKS
One of the violation hunters. Patrolman Edward E. Gilliland, who works out of University avenue precinct. feels like the rest of the men who patrol the campus that all stu- j dents should do their best to prevent parking violations.
The Los Angeles police department, in connection with their recent road blockades and crime reduction plan, hopes to minimize
traffic violations all oved Los Angeles county.
Quake Equals 1933 Shock
Yesterday's earthquake was of shock magnitude comparable to the Long Beach quake of 1933, according to John M. Nordquist. research assistant in the seismological laboratory of Caltech, Pasadena.
‘The center of this earthquake was 100 miles northeast of Pasadena and southeast of Barstow in the Mojave desert.” said Nordquist. “If the center had been in a thickly populated section, the damage would have been appaling.” Nordquist said tnat the first motion was felt at Pasadena at 7:58 a.m and lasted for approximately 40 seconds.
Trojans described the quake as varying in intensity in different sections of the city.
Bob Mott, advertising major who lives in North Hollywood, said:
“I was sitting on the side of my bed at the time of the quake and was almost thrown to the floor.” Students living in the vicinity of SC did not feel as great a shock. Jackie Nowell said she was n sleep at the Alpha Phi house when her bed began moving slowly back and forth.
In the Beverly Hills section Jim O'Reilly, commercial advertisng major, stated he could not feel the quake but heard the chimes in his wall clock rattle considerably.

Truman Calls For Price Cuts
WASHLNGTON. Apr. 10 — (U.E1 — President Truman put responsibilit> for cutting prices squarely on business today, and said labor will be justified ir. asKing higher wage unless living costs drop.
He told his news conference that moral suasion is the only weapoi. now at nis command to halt the continued price rise, but that Attorney General Tom Clark is looking into ways to permit competing companies to make unanimous price cuts without violating the antitrust law.
He jumped at the chance to strike out once more at the coalition of Republicans, led by Sens. Robert A Taft, of Ohio, and Kenneth S. Wherry, of Nebraska, and Democrats which killed most of OPA's control powers in the last congress.
Mr. Truman, who held a long discussion of prices yesterday at a special meeting of his cabinet, members of the newly-created economic council, and high-ranking monetary advisers, said that business profits in the last nine months of 1946 and ♦he first three months of this year were very great.
These profits, he said, soon will justify wage increases unless prices are reduced. But he hoped that there would be no big industrial strikes this year similar to the ones which he said caused injury to the national economy last year.
Rabbi Magnin Speaks On ‘Judaism’ Monday

The SC Council of Religion, sponsor of the program, extends an invitation to interested students and faculty members.

SACRAMENTO. Apr. 10—The joint committee on housing problems reported tonight 743,568 dwellings are needed in California this year, and recommended giving “serious consideration" to proposals to offer subsidies to builders to spur construction.
Beach or Study? Troy Deliberates
Beach weather invaded iJm campus again yesterday afternoon making roads westward inviting and reluctant scholars more reluctant.
Wednesday’s parking -lot duai storms subsided, and soft breeaea cooled the sun-bathed lawna along University avenue. Beachward-} earning students could not desert their books in the carefree manner that an afternoon at tha beach demands, however. In every class they were depressed by announcements ot coming 10-weefc exams.
With non-orgs busily grinding away night after night driving grade curves upward, many rww-dwe 11 ers were forced to substitute backyard sunbathing for the real thing at the beach. It is doubtful that this sacrifice was worthwhile, as the sun makes for drowsiness and the printed page becomes dim when seen through sun glasses.
Wiser students will cut classes and pack off to the beach with carefree assurance. They figure It will probably rain over the weekend. and they can study then.
