Baxter to View US School Aid
There are three angles to consider in viewing federal aid to universities, Dr. Frank C. Baxter indicated yesterday as he outlined problems to be aired today at a panel discussion on the subject.
“Should federal money aid public institutions, private schools, or students?” This question was posed by Dr. Baxter, professor of English language and literature, as the crux

of the subject to be covered at 3 p.m. in 145 Hancock hall.
WAR SHOWS NEED “World War II has shown for the first time that education is a necessity rather than a luxurious adornment. The public has a general respect for education, but it took the war to bring it out,” the English professor stressed.
If colleges are to carry out scientific research, federal grants become mandatory because of the large cost involved. This was proved by the jet propulsion and atomic energy research conducted by the government during the war, he stated.
MIGHTT NOT BE GOOD
Federal aid to universities might result in'government intervention in the school's curricula. This would not be good for either the government or the school, as has been demonstrated in Texas and Georgia universities, Dr. Baxter asserted.
American Association of University Professors is sponsoring the panel vrhich includes Dr. Albert Sydney Raubenheimer, educational vice-president; Dr. Osman R. Hull, dean of the School of Education; and Dr. Arthur W. Adamson, assistant professor of chemistry. Dr. Baxter will serve as moderator.
BROADENS HORIZONS “The program today is in the dilection of broadening the horizons of the SC chapter of AAUP and reflects the intention of this group to strive towards building the truly great university which SC should and can be,” according to Dr. Norman Kharasch, AAUP program chairman.
Other officers of the group Include Dr. Alan Nichols, professor of speech, president; and Dr. David D. Eitzen, associate professor of pastoral counseling, vice-president.
Gariss Renews U.P. Challenge
Jack Gariss today renewed his challenge for a Gariss-Johnson clash over Unity party policies.
The debate has been brewing since Gariss resigned as UP chairman last week and asked any Unity man to meet him in defense of the party’s stand. Leonard Johnson, independent council member, announced his candidacy as Gariss’ opponent on the UP ticket and said: “I would be only too glad to meet Gariss . . . and answer any questions with regard to my ability to represent the independent students.” Today Gariss replied:
“I would like to take up Johnson’s challenge and discuss the issues at the Unity party’s own rally. I am particularly interested in appearing at the meeting because I have several questions to ask other candidates regarding their support of their own candidates and platform.
“I should like to ask Wayne Chi-appe. UP’s entry for Engineering president, if he supports Joe Flynn. I should like to ask Chiappe and Grafton Tanquary if they support the No. 1 plank, opposition to discrimination and segregation, and if so how it is possible to run under IFC endorsement.

Mr. Brady, who has a collection of more than 500 swords and weapons. is offering the swerd to the Knights conditionally.
“I am willing to give this valuable sword to the Knights for Tommy Trojan if they will guarantee that it will not be stolen,” Mr. Brady said.
IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK Mr. Brady stated that if action was taken to w’ e 1 d, bolt, or braze
Police Foil Bruin Attack on Tommy
Alert university patrolmen Frank Thompson and Joe Benken early yesterday morning apprehended two UCLA men, identified as Buford Graham and John M. Goin, as they were on the point of defiling Tommy Trojan with paint.
The two Bruins, who claimed they were both Kappa Alphas, had three bottles of green and red paint with them. They were pouring the paint into paper bags when the officers happened along, and it is presumed that they intended to hurl the pain t-filled bags at poor unarmed Tommy.
All candidates running for student body offices on the Unity party ticket, or with the endorsement of the party, are requested to attend a meeting in 318 Student Union at 1 p.m. today.
“Committee chairmen and their workers must also attend this meeting.” Vernon Blake, publicity chairman, announced yesterday.
positive the party will be considerate enough to listen to me.”
Unity party officials did not reply to Gariss today, but they announced a party rally at 3:15 next Tues day, 305 Administration. The rally is part of an intensified campaign to acquaint students with the party, its policies, and its candidates.
All candidates for office on the Unity slate will meet the student body at the rally, and the party’s platform will be explained.
“The only criticism so far has been that the average student does not know our candidates or what they stand for. Our opportunity for meeting the student has been limited and we would like a big turnout on Tuesday,” Herb Riley, steering committee chairman, said.

Jea Morf. ASSC vice-president, returned to SC yesterday after a ; four-day stay in New York where t-he attended the Mademoiselle magazine's fifth annual college forum.
Outlining the activities of the forum. Miss Morf said that the convention stressed the humanitarian aspects of the Economic Recovery Administration. “It was very inspiring.” she asserted. “I never learned so much in my life.”
“I was surprised at the efficient manner in which the forum was conducted.*’ she continued. “The speakers, most of whom were from Harvard and Yale, seemed extremely competent.”
NAMED “OUTSTANDING”
Miss Mori was named by Mademoiselle magazine as one of the 50 most outstanding college women in the United States. The magazine invited her to attend the forum and I
furnished her round-trip flight ticket and hotel expenses while in New York.
Most of the speakers concurred with the idea that the ERA should be administered by the United Nations. Miss Morf observed. “Most students left the forum convinced that ERA is a must. It is essential to the morale and spiritual welfare of the European people.” she said.
SHOULDN’T STOP HERE “I don’t think that it should stop with the countries of western Europe. Some program to promote trade with those countries under Russian control should also be instituted as part of the plan.”
Miss Morf. who is a sociology major. found the Bowery’ and tenement sections of New' York beyond description. “I didn't realize that such a place as the Bowery existed only
a few blocks walk from the splendor of Fifth avenue.” she said.
Because the Constellation carrying her to New York was late in arriving in Chicago, Miss Morf was unable to visit Northwestern university as she had planned.
TRANSFERRED HERE A native of Tripoli, Iowa, Miss Morf transferred from Northwestern to SC at the beginning of her sophomore year. Since coming to SC she has attended the 1946 national Alpha Delta Pi convention, held in Estes Park, Colo., and the five-day Western College convention at Stan-lord university last November.
Miss Morf has served as president of her social sorority, Alpha Delta Pi. and is a member of the Amazons and Mortar Board. She is an initiate of the Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity.
Lady Wheels To Tell How
Three feminine wheels will lecture at 3 this afternoon in University library's art and lecture room on what it takes to make a campus leader.
The talks will constitute the fourth in a series of lecture meetings sponsored by the joint YWCA-AWS leadership training program, according to Nancy Winstanley, program chairman.
Today’s lectures will be given by Katie Connolly, speaking on leadership in Panhellenic; Astrid Carlson, who will discuss women’s work on the Daily Trojan; and Diane Lockhart, who speaks on leadership among women staff members of Wampus and El Rodeo.
“The turnout at the previous meetings w?as good,” Miss Winstanley declared, “and we hope today’s attendance will be even larger.”
She added that all women students are invited to attend and that there will be two more such meetings after this one.
the weapon into the statue’s hand, it would be sufficient guarantee that it would not be stolen.
“It will be practically impossible for anyone to break off this tempered steel sword,” Mr. Brady said.
Herb Hynson, Trojan Knight president, said that the Knights would gratefully and happily accept Mr. Brady’s offer.
“It is fitting,” Hynson said, “that a sword which saw service on the battlefields of Europe should be in the hand of Tommy Trojan, the Trojan shrine.”
DISPLAYED AT MUSEUM
The weapon is at present in a collection of Mr. Brady’s in the Los Angeles county museum.
Mr. Brady has been collecting swords and weapons since he was 9 and exhibited several pieces of his extensive collection at the New York World's fair in 1939.
Tommy Trojan's sword was replaced several months ago after it was retrieved by Trojan Knights from a souvenir hunter. Two weeks ago it was again mysteriously stolen, this time the sword being broken off just above the hilt.

Tanquary Vote Plan Passes Without Fight
President Fred D. Fagg Jr., in a letter to ASSC Prexy Paul Wildman, announced to the student senate last night that he had acted to veto the proposed affiliation of SC with the National Student association.
President Fagg’s move came as a surprise to the senate, which had approved the affiliation by a 17-11 vote in February.
The president announced that the decision not to affiliate was made on the recommendation of an administration committee consisting of Educational Vice-President A. S. Raubenheimer, and Profs. Frank C. Baxter. Sidney Duncan, Robert Kingsley, and Emery Olson. NO EVIL INFLUENCE The committee report stressed that the alleged benefits of NSA would not be commensurate with the effort required to join. It pointed out the fact that, although the NSA organization is presently without taint of subversive influence, such influence, should it arise in the future, would embarrass the university beyond the point where disaffiliation at that time would be effective.
Dr. Fagg. in his letter, told of his regret that he must turn down the first major request of the student legislature, but that the report of his advisory committee convinced him of the wisdom of the move. NEEDS STRENGTHENING In its report, the committee further stated that a group should be appointed to investigate means of strengthening student government at SC, and that such a measure should be taken before affiliation with any such “largely pol4tical* group as NSA w’ere considered.
The proposal by Grafton Tanquary that registration for student elections be carried out in conjunction with academic registration passed unanimously. The bri*»f discussion preceding the passing of the proposal failed to bring out the expected onoosition to the plan. WILL CUT TIME Tn support of this proposal Tanquary said it will “cut the period of working on elections in half.” and further added that it was not meant to limit voting to “those really interested in voting.” but rather to check qualifications of voters.
Elections Commissioner Jerry Jones, reporting on the recent registration for the student elections in May, said that 3303 students had registered and that “the elections

Dance to Honor Owl Club Men
Members of the Owl club, SC’s only local social fraternity, will hold their annual semiformal dance Saturday night in the Lido room of the Knickerbocker hotel, Glenn Tinder, social chairman, announced yesterday.
“The dance will honor members who ha\e been initiated this semester. Bids will also be available to friends of club members,” Tinder said. Prospective members of the Owl club are to be invited to the social affair.
Organized in 1945 by Trojan Marine trainees, the club later evolved into an independent fraternity. It is somewhat similar to the eating clubs of Yale and Harvard universities.
Affiliated with neither national nor local associations, the f?atemity Ls a social unit for men. The club, sponsored by the SC faculty under Cornelius Murphy, lecturer in mathematics, has a membership of 35
on campus for more than three years.
Among its functions are the monthly social coed get-together and stag banquets. The club expects to open a drive for membership later in the year.
Oil Firm Offers Engineering Jobs
Graduating engineers interested in jobs with the Stanolind Oil and Gas company may make an appointment to see the company’s representative tomorrow, according to Mrs. Florence Watt, director of the university employment bureau.
C. F. Bedford and S. B. Richards will interview civil, mechanical, petroleum, electrical, and chemical engineers, and also geologists for placement in the mid-western, southwestern, and Rocky mountain states.

The first plank urges intensified work for expansion of power und responsibility of student government on a university leveL This plan embraces administration of all funds collected in the name of tbe Associated Students and revision of activity book admission to build university community spirit.
The latter part of the program calls for activity book social events, artist series, and forums. Student representation on faculty and administrative committees which formulate student policy is also a part of the first plank.
