“If that allegedly salacious pinup calendar in the February Wampus isn’t shown to me for censoring, there may not be a February Wampus,” the man in charge of blue penciling the humor magazine declared unequivocally yesterday.
He was referring to a plan, brewed up by Willie the Wampbird, to insert secretly a calendar of scantily clad pinups into the next issue of the magazine and put the issue on sale Monday without having the calendar censored.
The matter has apparently evolved into a battle of wills between the stub-
born Willie and an equally obdurate censor.
“What’s the use of showing it to him?” the little bird sulked.
Meanwhile, business manager Howard Lindhoffer was tearing his hair and counting (sans shoes) the profits he would lose if the magazine failed to hit the Monday publication date originally announced.
“On the other hand,” he said thoughtfully, rubbing his hands together and beginning to smile, “if we could just sell out in a hurry and then take a little fishing trip to Ensenada

ADDRESS CHANGES
Brown lists five reasons for which students may register or re-register:
1.	Have met all of the above requirements.
2.	Have decide** *o change party affiliation.
3.	Have changed their legal name through marriage or court action.
4.	Have changed their home address within Los Angeles county.
5.	Desire to vote in the 1948 regular primary or general elections or both after failure to do the same in 1946.
The following additional facts should be noted by students who wish to register:
Those who register in the Democratic. Republican, or Prohibition parties will be permitted to vote in its primary on June 1, 1948.
NON PARTISAN PRIMARY
Those who register in either the Commonwealth. Communist, Independent Progressive. Labor Socialist, Progressive, Socialist, Townsend, or ether non-qualified parties will vote in a non-partisan primary on June 1, 1948. unless before that time any or all of these parties gain status as “qualified parties in the state of California."
Registration under the party classification “decline to state” will qualify voters for the non-partisan ballot in the June 1, 1948. primary.
PARTICIPATION GOAL
If you should change your party affiliation, name, or address after registration you should re-register before Aprii 22. 1948.
“Active participation in federal state, and local politics should be a goal for all students. Qualification for voting through registration is the first step to effective citizenship,” Brown asserted.

Prices Plunge On All Fronts In Fourth Day
CHICAGO. Feb. 10—CE>—Grain and cotton prices plunged the permissible limits and livestock prices slipped lower today, paving the way for further retail price cuts rt groceries and butcher shops.
Almost all com. wheat, oats, and soybeans sold on the nation’s grain exchanges nosedived in the fourth big grain price break within six days.
Stocks and bonds also hit the skids and the New York stock market touched the lowest level since mid-June. 1947, on losses of one to around three points. Cotton at New York dropped the permissible limit of 200 points—$10 a bale—for a day’s trading. Light buying just before the close advanced cotton prices a • few points above the extreme lows.
The stock market break wiped out more than a billion dollars in valuation of listed issues.
The tumbling prices were good news for housewives. An imposing list of retailers across the nation already had cut prices on pork, beef, flour, bread, butter, lard, and many other food items.
On the Chicago board of trade, the world’s largest grain mart, all grain futures dropped the limit except November soybeans, in which there was no trade. In Kansas City all wheat futures dropped the full 10 cent per bushel limit, and all com futures dropped the 8 cent limit. In Minneapolis, wheat, oats, and rye were down the limit.

Chaos Reigns Again in Troy Parking Area
by Vernon Scott
Lost: one parking lot system.
Chaos once again reigns in the huge lot behind the Science building. Cars, jeeps, and bicycles are parked in a helter-skelter fashion that wafts nostalgic memories of last spring semester.
Last September Jack Shafer, independent representative to the student senate, organized a special crew to regulate parking facilities in the lot.
The lot was neatly lined for approximately 1500 automobiles allowing harried students to park with ease and dispatch. This precluded the hilarious game of ring-around-the-campus looking for a parking place.
TURN FOR THE WORSE
Unfortunately things have taken a turn for the worse, as can be attested by the unfortunate miscreant who parked in the middle of an exit only to find a fender missing on his return. Once again we have returned to “the good old days.”
It is rumored that an overzealous freshman parked his 1918 Stutz Bearcat in the center of the lot Monday and, being unable to extricate the relic, has remained there awaiting the day of his graduation.
CHANNELS OF ESCAPE
There remain two channels of escape from this alarming situation. First, and probably most workable, would be to petition through the city council of Los Angeles a subway system whereby students could ride to school and overlook the parking situation entirely. And or second, which may soon become a reality, revamp last semester’s excellent parking system in the lot behind the Science building, restoring sanity and enchantment to the unhappy wretches that drive automobiles to school.
One of the most important projects ever to be discussed by the student senate will be analyzed tonight at 7:15, in the senate chambers, 418 Student Union. The possible affiliation of the SC student body with the National Students association is the heavy topic scheduled for debate.
The national organization for colleges and universities was formed last summer and the constitution was voted into effect by representatives from over 400 United States schools. SC was represented at the NSA convention in September by Paul Wildman, Milt Dobkin, John Houk, Diane Lockhart, and Pat Hillings. Their approval of the constitution at that time is expected to influence the senate in tonight’s roundtable. The 29 senators will also consider methods of presenting the plan for aff liation to the student body for amroval.
TWO PHASES The main topic will be broken down into two phases, affixation with NSA, and approval of the national constitution. The results of the senate decisions will be channelled through the region?! branch to the national office in Madison. Wis., at the University of Wisconsin.
Benefits to be derived from NSA are facilitation of student exchanges, particularly foreign students, student housing plans, broader academic freedom, and a possible NSA seat on the UNESCO The NSA will send delegates to the International Union of Students. meeting at Prague next summer, to investigate the possible international affiliation with that organization. With the granting of scholarships in foreign nations to American students under development. the NSA will become very useful to its members.
UNITY FAVORS PLAN An indication as to the trend of the talk in the senate was formed in a meeting of the Unity party yesterday. In considering the affiliation plan, the party was generally in favor of it.
Walt Brown, independently elected senator-at-large, expressed the opinion of some members of the senate when he said that action on NSA had been delayed too long already.	•
“UCLA affiliated with NSA more than two months ago and there seems to be little reason why SC should linger any longer. The excuse given for not voting on this matter before has been that sena-

Wives to Hear Criffith Speak
The Faculty Wives club of the university will meet at 2 p.m. in the Foyer of Town and Gown. Miss Beatrice Griffith will talk on the problems of second-generation teenage Mexican youth in Los Angeles and the responsibility of the community toward them.
A tea will be held after the regular program.
Music during the tea is to be provided by the College of Music.
I nex. After filling out a tentative program students are required to have the schedule signed by their advisers. The final change, if “R” cards are involved, must be stam,ped in Owens hall annex and taken to building 20 for verification and fee reading.
Classes in which a student is doing passing work may be dropped until the end of the seventh week without charge. Ihereaiter lees will not be returned for classes dropped.

DeMilles See Daughter Direct Musical Allegro'
Registrar's
Notice
The special examination for the removal of IE’s in General Studies 54a will be given Saturday, Feb. 14, 9 a.m.. Room 113, Building Q. Application should be made at the Registrar’s office by Feb. 13.
Prof. and Mrs. William C. de Mille of the ©C drama and cinema departments saw nine stage plays, including two directed by their daughter, and witnessed New York city's biggest event since the World’s Fair in 1939, 26 mches of delayed white Christmas.
“It was an interesting sight to see New York stopped in its tracks without a wheel turning,” Professor de Mille commented on his return. “Transportation on the ground level was completely tied up, and the crowds riding the subway made it worth your life to try that.”
Professor and Mrs. de Mille saw “Medea.” “The Winslow Boy.” “Command decision,” ‘•Allegro,” “A
Streetcar Named Desire,” “Man and Superman,” “The Heiress,” “John Loves Mary,” and “Bridgadoon.”
“As a whole, it’s one of the best seasons I’ve seen for a long time,” Frofessor de Mille stated. “The Winslow Boy” is one of the best new plays I’ve seen for a long time.
“ ‘Streetcar Named Desire’ left me unmoved. It was beautifully produced, beautifully acted and well directed, but the play started with an inauspicious situation, and dramatic craft only succeeded in making it worse.”
Asked if he thought Judith Anderson’s performance of “Medea” was the tour de force many critics asserted it to be, Professor de Mille
agreed it was, and remarked, “There was some comment to the effect that Miss Anderson’s role was overacted, but if you don’t overact Euripides to some extent you don’t act him at all.”
Robinson Jeffers’ script, he added, is a very fine adaption for modern theater with great beauty in writing.
“Maurice Evans gives one of the best performances of his career in ‘Man and Superman.’ The production employs just the right amount of stylization.
Paul Kelly in “Command Decision,” Basil Rathbone and Wendy Hiller in “The Heiress” rated high with Professor de Mille in their respective roles. “Kelly was extremely
good, restrained, powerful; Rathbone excellent. Miss Hiller is a good actress, but quite mannered in articulation and delivery.”
Of “Allegro” and “Brigadoon,” two current Broadway musical hits which list the de Milles’ daughter Agnes de Mille for directorial credits, Professor de Mille said, “I was naturally particularly interested in my daughter’s work, especially in ‘Alegro’ for which she handled her first full directorial job.”
“I liked ‘Alegro’ very much. It works with a new form, sets new patterns involving music, rhythmic motion and drama in a new way. ‘Brigadoon’ ic a charming little
fantasy, but less striking than ‘Allegro.’ ”
Professor de Mille declined to comment further, “since both play* are somewhat in the family.’’
“My wife and I have some of our family in the East,” Professor de Mille stated, “acid between the family and the theater, we didn’t have a minute we coud call our own from the time we got there until we left. ’
Professor de Miile is himself a Broadway playwright and former motion picture director for Paramount and MGM studios. Mrs. de Mille is an author and motion picture scenarist.
