A mazed Weathermen Find Willie Makes Smog Flee
The Los Angeles weather bureau and faculty members of SC’s School of Meteorology were astounded yesterday morning to note a low pressure area in the vicinity of 36th street and University avenue, over which there was neither fog nor smog. The temperature in this area seemed to be considerably higher than normal.
The affected zone covered an area of approximately one-half a city block and extended upward completely through the surrounding smog layer.
Meteorology students, under the supervision of their professors. converged on the area with anemometers, hygrometers, and barometers. Poets brought their iambic pantameters.
An investigating committee checked the no-smog zone with blue litmus, which immediately turned red. The Geiger counter rushed in from Caltech recorded extreme radioactivity.
The center of the disturbance was finally narrowed down to 404 Student Union, where Willie the Wampus bird was found reading page proofs for the October Wampus.
Shoving the protesting Wampus mascot out of the way, the group of puzzled scientists set to work checking and analyzing the proofs he had been reading.
It was found that the copy and cartoons for the October Wampus are so hot and full of energy that they had completely evaporated all traces of smog within range. A plan is now being formulated to supply lead-lined gloves to stu-

With 10,000 tomorrow how it can cooperate to j Picards circulating among students, the survey got off to hold the price line at home and! a fast start Monday when 1500 selections were turned in.
Western enthusiasts will be grieved to hear that Roy Acuff is being nosed out for top spot by Bunny Berigan’s “Can’t Get Started,” “Near You,” and Frankie Laines recording of “Thats My Desire,” Mr. Ware stated yesterday.
Acting as a proving ground for percentage returns, SC is the first of three universities to be included in the record survey. “Campus Comer” has its next stop at Washington State college and then will cover selections from the University of San Francisco.

Senate Session Will Consider Anti-Red Rule
by Jim Longcrier
The anti- Communist amendment to the Bill of Rights in the new ASSC constitution, which was proposed by ex-President Jim Mitchell, comes up for debate tonight at 7:45 in what promises to be the hottest session of the senate this year.
Mitchell made his proposal at the last regular meeting two weeks ago and since that time the atmosphere surrounding local politicos has beea tense.
BY-LAW TO AMEND
The proposed by-law, which would be an amendment to Article VII of the new constitution, states that the article “shall be interpreted to exclude and have no application in regard to any member of the Communist party, any Communist ‘front’ organization, or any doctrine or policy detrimental to the best interests of the United States.”
Article VII, as it now stands, prohibits any ASSC organization from directing or legislating any policy or act wiiich has as one of its conditions qualifications as to rac£, creed, or color. Section 2 of the same article says that no ASSC organization shall direct or legislate any policy or act which would prohibit freedom of assembly.
PET PROJECT Mitchell said at the last senate ’ meeting that he had been trying tc get the amendment he proposed ratified since last year. He also said that since he was unable to accomplish this last year, he had returned aad asked for the floor of the Senate in order that he might attempt again to get his “pet project” voted on favorably.
Another item of business due to be brought before the senate tonight includes a report on the recent United States National Student association convention. This organization formerly operated as the National Student Organization.
CONVENTION REPORT Milt Dobkin, Pat Hillings, John Houk, Diana Lockhart, and Paul Wildman, ASSC president, went to the University of Wisconsin last month to attend a constitutional convention of NSA. and will make a report to the senate tonight on their conclusions and impressions.
Dobkin said yesterday that the issue of joining NSA will not be voted on at this meeting because copies of the national NSA constitution have not arrived from Madison, Wis„ headquarters for the student group.
Series of Similar Events to Acquaint Students With Troy Team, Opponents
Athletic experts, football stars, managers, and sports writers will be among those participating at the informal smoker sponsored by the campus YMCA Thursday evening.
Launching an ambitious fall program, the YMCA plans a series of smokers designed to better acquaint men students with the Trojan football team and the opponents it will meet during tiSe coming season.
Featured on the programs win be explanations of plays by coaches and players, previews of the games to come, panel discussions on foot-) ball terminology and rules, and motion pictures of the previous week's game.
Emcee of tne smoker will be Dick Nash, athletic news director and authority on Trojan football tradition. He will conduct interviews with Walt McCormick, captain of last week's game, Jim Powers, sophomore star, and senior football managers Harold McDaniel and Norm Shultz. Assistant Coach Roy Engle, just returned from Baton Rouge. La., where he scouted the Rice-Louisiana State game, will make predictions on this week's forthcoming game with Rice.
“The smokers are only one of I many activities planned by the YMCA cabinet for the pleasure and entertainment of men students on campus,” said Dave Evans, chairman of the group. “The cabinet is working to establish an organization on j c a m p u s comparable to YMCA groups at other schools, and we have an unique situation here in ; that we have a great many foreign students, many of whom wish to participate in the school activities,

The possibility of Great Britain drifting toward a dictatorship was discounted by Dr. Frank Baxter, professor of English, in an interview yesterday.
“The love of liberty is too much a tradition in England for it to be unsafe to risk a temporary centralized government,” voiced Dr. Baxter. “Neither the people nor the leaders want a dictatorship, but under the present situation what can they do?”
Clarifying the definition of dictatorship in this case. Dr. Baxter summarized it as a coalescense of authority rather than a change in the English philosophy of government.
To the critics who contend a dictatorship once in cannot be dislodged. Dr. Baxter answered. “It wrould be better to risk a temporary dictatorship over the people of England than over any other people in the world. The people under Hitler liked to be led and pushed around. The people under Attlee
DR. FRANK BAXTER , “always be an England'
like being led. but they will not tolerate pushing around for long.” Even the people of the United States, he pointed out, accepted temporarily the economic centralization of the New Deal in the interest of the country’s health.
“When we think of Britain today. we can’t think of normal living as preceding the present crisis,” Dr. Baxter reminded. “The recent history of England has been a series of crises.” He went on to review the losses, both material and human, suffered in the first and second world wars. He told of the lost leadership in the brightest and i best of Britain's young men.
“The tremendous tragedy is that | the vitally necessary social and eco-i nomic readjustments had to come ; after war,’’ he added.
“The end will be a national coalition,” predicted Dr. Baxter. "There will be a strong central authority | in reserve, and all parties will be drawn upon according to their ability.”
Taft Picketed By Collegians
PULLMAN, Wash.. Sept. 28—<l\£) —Washington State college students, who denied affiliation with any organization or pressure group, picketed Sen. Robert A. Taft, R. Ohio, in protest to high prices when he arrived here today on a western speaking tour.
Pour youthful pickets, two of them wearing college sweaters, paced back in forth in front of Taft's hotel headquarters with signs reading:
“Taft and inflation cover the nation;” “Bacon 96 cents — had enough?”; “Taft is in town — ask him about high prices.”
Tne pickets said they were “jui? students” and belonged to no organization or pressure group.
Taft drove 90 miles from Spokane to speak at a luncheon attended by Republican leaders at the Washington hotel.
Earlier, Taft told a breakfast audience at Spokane that he was opposed to all present proposals for , universal military training because j they were not the “best method” of ; supplying reserves for the new-style i United States army.
In his first direct statement on ! universal military training. Taft indicated he would not support an? of the current proposals for UMT because they do not suit needs of I the nation in building an atomic-1 age defensive force.
