Engineers Hide Behind Beards
Male members of the College of Engineering will spurn the use of their razors today and remain in a bearded condition until Mar. 10. Engineers whose frail character allows them to weaken in the face of lengthening bristles will be promptly jailed in a makeshift hoosegow on the parkway in front of the Student Union.
Judges, among them the homecoming queen, will consider design. opulence, and texture of the chin-wjiiskers and award a perpetual plaque mounted on taxi-dermised beaver to the owner of the fairest hair.
Few Openings Left in Chorus
Latest announcement from the office of Dr. Charles C. Hirt, director of choral organizations, indicates that enrollment in the university chorus soon will be closed.
Spring activities Include the Easter Sunrise service at Forest Lawn to be broadcast to the nation over CBS, and the St. Matthews Passion.
Enrollment in the chorus is open to all students of the university. Rehearsals are held each Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. in Bowne hall. Applicants are asked to come either to tomorrow's rehearsal, or to see Dr. Hirt at his office in 6 Music building.

Why and Wherefore
Editor, Daily Trojan:
Inasmuch as I am not an aspiring politico and do not believe in being subservient to any small group not representative of the whole group, I hereby resign my seat as president of the College of Commerce.
In my short duration in office, I have been maligned and charged with many things, including fraud, by pressure groups on campus, all this behind my back.
ASSC officers on the senate have been vague as to the objections of my holding a seat thereon.
Self-appointed political bosses, not enrolled in the College of Commerce, are hurling charges that my election, as provided for in the College of Commerce constitution, was fraudulent, that I had packed the council. Such is not the case. None of us on the council had any idea that an election of officers was to take place on that date (Jan. 7, 1947) or any day, since we had no idea that the then president, Bob Harbison, ‘was graduating after the January finals.
I sincerely accepted the office because I thought that I was qualified and that I could do the job honestly and efficiently, since I was a council member for the past four semesters and held councU offices for the past year. I didn’t ask for the office; I was elected to the position by the council, which, in cases of vacancies in the offices, is qualified to fill them.
My motives were solely for the betterment of the College of Commerce and to improve the efficiency of the council.
I am resigning, but not due to the suggestions of this group; rather because I am disgusted with the politics involved.

Prexy Hits Politicians
by Jerry Maher
Charging members of “pressure groups” on campus with attempting to prove fraud in the conduct of his election and to interfere with the functioning of his councU, Dusty Rhode, in an exclusive interview and letter to the DaJIy Trojan Friday announced his resignation as president of the College of Commerce.
Rhode, whose election was challenged by Dick Gilson, independent representative, at a meeting of the ASSC senate Feb. 19 and subsequently referred to the rules committee for action, told a story of “behind the back” political machinations by “self-appointed political bosses” whose sole concern was to pack the senate with “stooges.’*
APPROACHED
Pressed for clarification of charges made in his letter, Rhode refused to name the individuals or organizations involved, except to say that he had been approached by members of fraternities and the ISA. and that a person, purporting to represent Milt Dobkin. chairman of the senate rules committee, had questioned his right to the commerce chair.
“Self-appointed leaders in both fraternities and the ISA came to me and asked me to resign for the good of their respective parties,” Rhode accused. “These persons are not enrolled in the College of Commerce; they are law and political science majors who should have no concern in the matter.
“Last Wednesday night a person claiming to represent Milt Dobkin called my house and left a message requesting --j	(Continued on Page Four)

“The plight of the German people is not worse than that of many other European nations,” he declared. “I believe that she should receive no more than the living standards provided for the rest of Europe.”
“Germany Is responsible for much of the hardship now being endured over there, and we should not favor that nation but rather give relief first to victims of nazi aggression," he added.

HUNGRY BERLIN—While the opinion of the United States is divided over Herbert Hoover's recommendation for a relief program for Germany, these Berliners huddle around a communal stove. Like food, fuel in Berlin is strictly rationed; only 100 pounds of coal a month is doled to each house, regardless of number of families there.
