Longer Easter Remote Till '51
Possibility of a longer Easter vacation is very remote before 1951.
A longer vacation was proposed Wednesday at a meeting of the Greater University committee. Members approved a proposal that the University be requested to extend the present period of two days to a full week with the time lost to be made up by ending the semester later in June.
Dr. Hugh Carey Willett, director of admissions and registration, and chairman of the University Calendar committee, said such a change would entail a great deal of work.
The university calendar through 1950 has been published. Any possibility of changing the schedule before the calendar has run out is very remote.
-Many problems would have to be solved before such a change could be made.” Dr. Willett said. "There must be a certain number ol class days and a certain number of lecture minutes each semester. That means the extra vacation time must be made up.” he said.
Troy Debaters To Meet UCLA Aces
Kureishi and Faruki Seek Revenge Over Bruin Forensic Team
Trojan debaters Omar Kureishi and Kamal Faruki will be up against two former regional champions in the SC-UCLA intercollegiate debate tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. in Hancock auditorium.
Bruin Lester Ziffern, political science and pre-law student, will speak first. He is a transfer from the University of Iowa. In 1942 he won the Iowa state debate championship and was a finalist in the same contest the following year.
Gordon Ringer, who will team up with Ziffern, has competed in intercollegiate forensic competition on the West Coast for the past three years.
Last year he and Gene Wianco defeated Kureishi and Faruki in the western states championship debate at Stockton. SC squad Capt. Potter Kerfoot and Milt Dobkin, present graduate manager of the squad, defeated Ringer and Wianco in the final round. Since each of the three teams had lost one ot the contest rounds, the contest ended in a three-way tie.
Dr. Max T. Krone, dean of the Institute of Arts, will act as chairman of the debate, which will be open to the public.
Participants will argue on the question. ‘Resolved, that the federal government should adopt a policy of equalizing education in tax-supported schools by means of! annual grants.”

UCLA Hamburger Champion Sneers at Posner's "Snack1
n
When it conies to eating hamburgers, “I can do anything you can do better,” challenged UCLA student Jimmy Waldegg Friday.
A senior anthropology major, Waldegg claims he ate 18 burgers with lettuce and relish, but minus tomatoes and onions, at one sitting.
Waldegg weighs only 135, but says he always eats that way. “In the Army they used to call me ‘chow hound,’ ” he said.
“No tomatoes and onions!” snorted SC student Charles Posner, ex-title-holder with a record of 13. “That’s the trick,” he said. “Why, it’s child’s play without onions.”
Posner’s record was also recently beaten by Dave Dobrow, UCLA football player, who claims he downed 14 Wimpys.
Waldegg further scoffed by saying that he ate his 18 in 45 minutes, whereas Posner took three hours to consume a measly 13. He swore he wasn’t aided by a tapeworm, and said he would produce medical affidavits if necessary.
Though Posner claims he had no ill effects from his recent stint, he says he is not too anxious to try it again. “Anybody who can eat 18 is undisputed champion so far as I’m concerned,” he said.	__

“Basketball at its best” will be the cry Wednesday when Cedric Gerson’s accomplished crew of courteous School of Commerce cagers tangle with Jack Silverstein’s hopeful LAS hoopmen at 4:15 p.m. in Court No. 2, men's gym.
“In the past two years,” boasted the modest Gerson, “the

Trash Mars Campus As Students Sloppy
Newly redecorated buildings not only are being defaced, but the whole campus area is marred every day by paper and trash thrown down by thoughtless students, according to the campus maintenance crews.
Paper sacks, old newspapers, candy bar wrappers, empty
cigarette packs, and other rubbish #-
dot the campus lawns and streets	across instead of using the side-

and residential streets. Last November this practice brought a protest from eight residents in the area in the form of a letter to City Councilman Don Allen. A parking restriction threat stopped the practice for a while, but now it is being carried on again.
A check with university oiliciais disclosed that cleaning crews have to sweep municipal streets that run through the campus early every morning to clean up the litter.

Parking Laws May Be Eased
Two-hour parking restrictions in Exposition park probably will not be enforced for tw'o or more weeks as a result of the presentation Thursday of the parking petition to the Recreation and Parks commission, it was learned last Friday.
George Hjelte. general manager of the Recreation and Parks department. said Friday that the board would not order the restriction to be enforced until the petition has been considered by the commission.
Due to a heavy schedule of business on the commission calendar, the petition cannot be considered immediately, Hjelte said. Also, the petition will not be presented until all commission members are present at a meeting, and that will not be possible for at least two w^eeks, he added.
Members of the Greater U committee presented the petition, signed by 10.101 students, faculty members, and residents of the campus area, Thursday morning.. At that time Tony Pereira, commission member, suggested a compromise for Exposition parking.
Pereira's proposal would allow unrestricted parking until 11 a.m. In eifect this would allow students to leave their cars on park streets until 1 p.m.
Maurie Luxford, president of the commission, objected to unlimited j parking on the grounds that “the J average citizen cannot visit the park i or use its facilities because stu- j dents take all the parking space.” i
A -proposal that parking space be alloted, some for two-hour park- ! ing to accommodate park patrons, and some for unlimited parking to accommodate students, was rejected by Hjelte.
The annual women's variety show, Coed Capers, to be held this evening at 7 in Bovard auditorium, is open to men for tlie first time.
Featuring skits by 16 sorority groups, the show is open to all students and faculty members. Members of various women's groups will be on hand selling balloons. | noisemakers, Chinese fortune I cookies, and bubble gum.
The skits have been limited to 10 minutes each, with two-minute intermissions. Three prizes will be given on the basis of presentation and originality, by three judges chosen from the faculty.
Final dress rehearsals for the show, which is held annually under the sponorship of AWS. will be this afternoon from 3 to 5.
In the past the show was for women only, and a few men dressed as women usually came in and stole the show. It remains an interesting possibility this year.
Skits of each group, in the order of appearance, are as follows: Alpha Gamma Delta. “Sidewalks of New York”; EVK hall, "Melodrama in Ye Olde Lighthouse”; Troeds, “It Happens Every Day”; Willard hall, “Dr. Whimsey Reports”; Chi Omega, "Tlie Boogie Wedding”; Zeta Tau Alpha. “Frankie and Johnny”; Alpha Epsilon Phi, “Sub Conscious”; Gamma Phi Beta, "The Spectrum Fantasy.”
Alpha Omicron Pi. “The Night After the Day Before”; Delta Delta Delta, "Tri Delta Toyland”;' Alpha Delta Pi. “You Name It”; Alpha Kappa Alpha, “Blue Moods"; Kappa Alpha Theta, “Portrait of Pen-nie”; Alpha Phi, "Wheelology lb”; Pi Beta Phi, “The Death of the Blues”; and Alpha Chi Omega, ‘‘Al-phalulia.”
Padgett Move Stirs Up Few Officia Words
Official comment on Bob Padgett’s anti-“race and descent” clause motion was sparse Friday.
Director of Admissions Hugh Carey Willett said that Padgett
should have checked with the office of admissions to find out what he was talking about before he spoke up.
“I challenge anyone to offer evidence that the "race and descent” clause on the application for admission is used for discriminatory purposes.” Dr. Willett declared.
NO OFFICIAL NOTICE
Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer. educational vice-president, had no comment. "Dr. Raubenheimer only knows what he has read in the Trojan,” his secretary said. “He has had no official notice from the Senate.”
Padgett's proposal is that the Senate urge the university to drop a “useless” question from the application for admission blank.
The item asks applicants to mdi- : cate their race or descent. A series of races is listed to be checked. 1 writh a blank space to write in any
not mentioned.
The list includes such groups as Anglo-Saxon. Nordic. Germanic,> Hebrew, Negro, and Asiatic.
NOT PERTINENT
Padgett asserts that this information is not pertinent in judging | a student’s merit and academic ability. His plan is that the Senate recommend to the administration that the "race and descent” information be deleted from the appli-j cation form.
No action has been taken by the ASSC Senate yet. since Padgett j raised the matter in the closing * minutes of last Wednesday’s ses-i sion.
Teaching Staff Adds Seven
Seven members have been added to the SC faculty.
They are Lewis L. Fulks. teaching assistant, drama: Herbert I. Kup-per, lecturer, psychology; Jerrold M. Seehof. laboratory assistant, chemistry-; Janet Marshall Stevenson. lecturer, drama; Harold P.

South Pacific Tour Over
Two SC Professors Return From Survey
Two SC professors have recently finished touring New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji, and Tahiti as representatives of the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Research council. Dr. K. O. Emery, assistant professor of Geology, has returned to SC. j and Dr. John F. Kessel, head of the department of bacteriology and parasitology, is homeward bound alter remaining at Tahiti to further his study of tropical diseases. He is j expected to resume his duties here next Monday.
The tour was arranged by the (
Seventh Pacific Science congress and began on Jan. 29. It is held every three years al a different place but has not been hela since 1939 because of the war.
The U.S. furnished a DC-4 ior its delegates, and flew them to Hawaii. After a flight around the islands the group continued to the Fiji islands and to Canton, Chuia.
Tlie first week’s lectures were hela in New Zealand at Auckland University college. More than 200 delegates from all over the world attended.
After the first w-eek of lectures the New Zealand government took delegates to North island to observe what had been discussed. Here eruptions of the volcano Ngeurahoe could be seen from 50 nuies away.
Following the North island tour the delegates moved to Canterbury college, Christ church, on South island.
During lectures here Professor Emery submitted a paper on “Submarine Geology of the Northern Marshalls.” The lectures proceeded
again for a week, and then a tour of this island began.
South island's Fox and Franz Josef glaciers were studied. A cloudburst in the mountains furnished a miniature flood which delayed the group for a few days.
On the wey home the delegates visited the biological institute ot Francois Oceanie on New Caledonia. Admiral Ramsey furnished a naval staff plane to observe the eruption of Mauna Loa at Honolulu. The delegates’ plane landed m the U.S. Iast Wednesday.
