NORCOP REACTS A typical reaction to hearing the good news was related by Anita Norcop who, as one might have guessed, was studying at the time. She threw down the book in her hand with the thought of forgetting study, but after a second's reflection she picked it back up and resumed her study. Anita is a member of Alpha Chi Omega, Mortar Board, Amazons. Delta Sigma Rho, and Phi Sigma Alpha.
“To attend all classes and to listen attentively to all that is said is of primary importance after knowing how to study,” said Anita.

ASSC Changes In Constitution Set Off Debate
by Jerry Maher
Outcome of the proposed new ASSC constitution will hang in the balance tonight when the ASSC senate meets to consider controversial articles dealing with the manner cf representation and the method of election.
Heart of the controversy, which senators were beginning with every indication of hot debate at the last meeting two weeks ago, is a proposal by Jim Mitchell, ASSC president, which would amend the draft now being considered, to perpetuate seats for representatives of the Interfratemity and Panhellenic coun- t cils, independent, and veteran stu- ! dents.
SEATS IGNORED
The constitutional committee, headed by Alf Harrison, ignored seats for these representatives in an apparent move to avoid the duplication of representation in the present constitution which has caused much of the friction among senate members in the past.
Leading proponent of Mitchell's j wishes of the United States and amendment is expected to be Al j Great Britain. It was the first ma-Kotler, Interfraternity council president, who served notice on senators more than a month ago that he intended to fight loss of the seat.
MOVE OF FORCE It has been indicated by the opposition that Mitchell's insertion of seats for independent and veterans representatives will be taken as a move to force compromise on the matter of the two organizational seats and the new provision for senators-at-large.
Second point of controversy, the use of the Hare proportional ballot in elections, rests upon passage of the article providing for senators-t-large. with opposition again expected from the faction headed by Mitchell.
Mitchell predicted yesterday that differences between the two factions will be ironed out and indicated he confidently expects the six-month-long Job of writing the constitution to be completed at tonight’s meet-g.

Chapeaux of Wildman, Flanagan In Ring as Greeks Square Off
Interfraternity council members will meet tomorrow night to select either Paul Wildman or Wally Flanagan as their candidate in the coming ASSC presidential election.
Only one of the two men may be placed on the final ballot. The fraternity houses voted between the two last Monday and have issued definite instructions to their representatives on how to vote tomorrow night.
A spot check of eight houses yesterday revealed preference of four for Wildman. One went for Flanagan and the other three voted discretionary powers to their representatives.
Contrary to a recent article in the Daily Trojan, Sigma Chi will support neither of the two men, but the vote will be left to individual members in the final election. The organization chose last Monday to remain clear of the forthcoming battle between the two men.

Russia Demands Palestine Debate

jor big-power clash since the assembly met in a special session to tackle the Palestine problem.
Soviet delegate Andrei Gromyko told the committee that “it would be difficult to object” to full debate on the independence question. He conceded, however, that the assembly might not reach a decision at the current meeting.
He spoke a few minutes after Herschel Johnson of the United States warned against widening debate to anything except establishment of a committee to study the Palestine problem. The committee would make recommendation to the regular session of the UN assembly in September.
Johnson advised the slow, cautious approach on grounds that “this is the last chance to solve this problem by peaceful and fair means”.
Johnson, in a second speech to the committee, explained that American opposition to immediate debate on independence “does not by any means preclude independence as an ultimate solution.”
“All league of nations mandates and UN trusteeships envisage ultimate independence, and we all are here in UN looking forward to the day when Palestine can be a free and indeepndent state.” he said. “But there are differences in the form of independence.”

Maj. Gen. M. D. Taylor, superintendent of the U. S. military academy at West Point, paid a courtesy call to SO yesterday in an effort to better incorporate the broad educational programs offered at civilian universities into West Point training.
Welcomed by Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-presi-; dent, General Taylor, and his aide, Maj. H. L. Hogan, discussed educational theory and curricula. ACADEMY INTERESTED
“Contrary to general belief the academy is very interested in all i phases of education,” the West

is the result of a year’s work by the then Major Miller of the army signal corps and his staff of 10 men, who were assigned the task by Herbert Lehman, former governor of New York, and Director General of UNRRA at the time of the filming. PLANE TO PARIS A captain at the time he received orders to make the picture. Miller, and Arthur Arthur, writer of the film, left Ft. Tatten, N.Y., by plane for Paris.
While in Paris. Miller selected nine cinema trained American soldiers who were to complete his staff for the filming.
The staff traveled through France. Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czech-' oslovakia, Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy. a.nd Egypt, recording on celluloid I the atrocious scenes they witnessed.

General Taylor asserted that “during the war we concentrated on producing a front-line officer thereby cutting social science courses out of the program. Now we are returning to the well-rounded education curriculum.” he conr tended.
VETS IMPORTANT
The returning veteran is playing an important role in West Point classrooms, the superintendent said.
“Our plebe class has 41 former officers, including a major who holds a permanent commission as a first lieutenant.” General Taylor admitted that present day cadets are more mature men with an average age of 23.
The general is on a tour of several west coast universities. He was commanding general of the 101st
Carroll Peake. VA public relations director, disclosed that the Los Angeles and San Francisco offices were more than *1,500.000 short of funds to pay subsistence checks of *65 to single veterans and $90 to married veterans for the period beginning Apr. 30.
He pointed out that the veteran s administration in Washington announced that 1,600.000 veteran students over the nation would be affected by fund shortages, but added that “out here we are better off.” A toial of 18,000 veterans m northern California and 3.000 in the Los Angeles district will be affected by the suspension.
Outside of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the offices in the Branch 12 area—including Phoenix. Ariz.,
Dr. Philip A. Libby, coordinator of veteran affairs, said last night that he believed the pressure which would be exerted on thc senate by veteran organizations would insure a quick passage of the bill.
“No official news of this shortage has been received by the office of veteran affairs. If true that only 3.000 in the Los Angeles area will be affected, very few students here should be inconvenienced since there are over 80.000 vets m training in this area.
“We will endeavor to find out which, if any, students here will be affected and whether or not this will apply to the check due May 1.”
“Further information as obtained will be announced In tb«
D.T.”
Dr. Libby expressed concern for some students living away from home who depend heavily upon the subsistence and would have to borrow money from the Red Cross or some other organization in order to continue in school.
Honolulu, San Diego, and Reno apparently have sufficient funds to carry on, he said, “since we have heard nothing from them.”
He said he did not know what the situation was in Branch 11. out of Seattle.

tirely nothing to do with the ability to participate in society.
“No group can be called superior or inferior on the basis of biological differences,” Dr. Weckler said. “It is really to the advantage of our society to have people of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds since each contributes its own particular complementary traits.”
The more flagrant reactions of minority groups in such situations as the Palestine question and even in our own south differ only in degree with the scene around Los Angeles, according to Dr. Weckler. One of the primary causes of inter-) group tension is “the prevention by economic scarcities of a minority from attaining advantages similar to those of a more fortunate group.” Working with the American Council on Race Relations. Dr. Weckler has conducted a number of detailed studies on group conflicts, both locally and in other parts of the nation. With this council in 1943 Dr.

‘Dealing principally with the underhanded male-stealing methods of “Choo-Choo” Trane and “armpits” O’Hara, two BAGs, the startling story by “Wind” Shield is so controversial that efforts were made to suppress it for fear it would cause open warfare between the two schools.
Since the Wampus came out this morning, the guard around Tommy Trojan has been doubled.
Saleswomen will be tripping gaily into the Wampus office throughout the day and niching out onto thc streets to sell another armful of the popular magazine at 25 cents a copy.
