Tirebiter Escapes Again In Vain Westwood Chase
by Dan Bagott
Westwood was the scene yesterday of a monstrous game of hare-and-hounds, but with the roles reversed, as the hares, in the form of a slavering pack of Bruins and Trojans, yelped in pursuit of that cunning hounds George Tirebiter.
The chase started when SC freshman Fred Harper, who was patronizing a Westwood photo shop about noon, saw the missing airedale in the possession of a Uclan.

Local Debaters Battle British ^
In typical American fashion, two British debaters were welcomed last night to the Southern California campus.
It was extended for Troy by Kamal Faruki, Indian member of the SC debate team.
“Five hundred years ago,” he said, ‘‘a gentleman set out from Europe for India—and found America. Two weeks ago two gentlemen set out from England for America—and seem to have found India.”
FIND SOLUTION
Debating the question, “Resolved, that world government is the only solution for world peace,” SC debaters Faruki and Omar Kureishi began the affirmative argument with the position that the UN is no more effective than a “glorified tea party,” and must be replaced by a more vigorous body.
Visiting British Debaters Reginald Galer and J. Anthony Cox, began their arguments on the negative, declaring that regionalism is the most practical basis for world peace.
Condemning the UN for its lack of power, the Trojan team said that world government must be placed on a federal basis and given those powers which are essential to a sovereign state.
POWER NEEDED
First, a world government must have power to restrict the ability of any nation to wage war, and second, it must be able to regulate international trade in every country, they said.
Keynoting the negative side, Reginald Galer, Birmingham university debater, said that “since at least a third of the world would not be able to participate in a world government” for many years, such a plan is impractical.
This third oi the world, said Galer, includes millions of people who are cut off by a “very real Iron Curtain” as well as other millions who are so tied up with their own affairs that they have no interest in any other government.
Harper rushed to question stranger, who ignored him. The Tro-jan then grabbed the leash, and during the ensuing scuffle the dog escaped. The two students gave chase but were quickly outdistanced by the fleeing mutt.
Returning to the * Theta Chi house, Harper sounded his horn, and his Portland street buddies answered the clarion call to the hunt by mounting their motorized steeds and speeding to the west woods.
By the time they arrived in Bruinville, a mob of inhabitants were already in full cry after the quarry.
Late yesterday afternoon the “yoicks’ ’ and “talley-ho” of the eager hunters were still ringing around Sonia Henie’s ice palace.
Drama Tryouts
. . . will be held this afternoon at 3:15, in Touchstone theater, Old College in “School for Wives.” The Moliere comedy will be the second production of the drama department this semester, and final cast for the play will probably be chosen Friday, said Virgil Bergman, faculty director.
Ticket Deadline Relaxed by SP
Southern Pacific announced yesterday that the time limit for Palo Aito train ticket purchases has been extended to Friday noon.
Reservations are still available on both Daylights, as well as Pullman space on the Trojan Special leaving Los Angeles at 9:20 p.m. and Glendale at 9:40 p.m. Friday. The Special will arrive in Palo Alto at 10:15 a.m. Saturday.
Students who have made reservations but have not yet paid for them are requested to do so as soon
Evans Evades 'Necktie Party
Because Dave Evans, angelic YMCA president at SC, proudly sported his Cardinal and Gold rooter’s cap and a red sweater last weekend as he thumbed his way to the football game at Portland, he was picked up by the law and foully accused of criminal attack and murder.
Evans was held for questioning by police at Myrtle Creek, Ore., after a man, reported as wearing a baseball cap and a red sweater similar to Evans’, had shot and killed a local woman the previous night.
Plans of local lumberjacks went awry when the Trojan’s subsequent release disrupted a contemplated “necktie party” for the upstanding “Y” head.
“He looked like a bum,” the Oregon gendarmes remarked sadly.
Weather Swami Sees Sun at Tilt
Old Sol probably will be among the thousands witnessing the SC-Stanford grid tilt in Palo Alto Saturday, although the weather bureau has predicted moderate rain will fall in that area Thursday.
Clear skies with above-normal temperatures are scheduled for Friday, according to the bureau, thus insuring a pleasant trip for Trojans trekking northward. No official forecast for Saturday afternoon was available yesterday.

Stanford Says Finds at Troy Led to Theme
“Indians Destroy Troy’’ will be the homecoming theme at Stanford Saturday.
Take-offs on Greek myths and the destruction of Troy by Indians will decorate Stanford Row houses and dormitories.
The theme grew out of discoveries made by Stanford archaeology students, who have proof that American Indians overthrew ancient Troy, reported the Daily Stanford.
The Daily Stanford stated that students digging around Old College unearthed relics, such as tomahawks and arrow heads, proving that Indians sealed the doom of Troy.
In answer to the Stanford charge,

CAI Will Show Race Film Today
“Boundary Lines”, a movie short dealing with racial and other types of prejudices, will be shown at 1:15 today, in 309 Bridge hall, as part of the weekly meeting of the Council on Atomic Implications.
Dr. Jorge Tyre-Byter, former SC faculty member, said:
“No evidence will ever convince me that American Indians were even remotely connected with the destruction of Troy.
“If there is any truth in the Stanford findings, perhaps the Trojan horse really was a Palomino pony, and maybe Venus de Milo was an Indian maid,” concluded Doctor Tyre-Byter.
Besides the usual homecoming activities, Stanford is sponsoring two contests with Trojan themes.
One is a Venus de Menlo contest for women. They must finish this sentence in 25 words or less. “I like to eat with my toes because . . The other is a Cyclops contest for all men with one eye in the middle of their foreheads.

words explaining that it was presented for naming the 1948 slogan.
. MANY ENTERED
“Because of the large number of entries which were submitted in the contest, it was difficult to pick out a slogan,” said Homecoming Chairman Ralph Townsend yesterday.
He added that the slogan was chosen by a unanimous vote of the committee members.
Townsend said that students should now start formulating ideas for floats. He emphasized that floats are definitely not restricted to fraternities and sororities, but that any group on campus, organized or not, may enter floats in the homecoming parade.
Floats and other decorations will be built around the slogan, “Cardinal Threads Among the Gold.” The homecoming committee this year worked to release the winning slogan early to enable organizations to plan their decorations.
PAST POOR
“In the past,” Townsend said, “the winning slogan was held back until a short time before homecoming week. This gave groups little time to prepare their floats and other decorations to celebrate the event.”
Brooks if on the ASSC Social committee, Senior council, Commerce council, and is a member of the AMS, men’s student organization.
The slogan committee included Granny Abbott, Bill Bretz, Betty Brown, Roger Craddock, Ron Crawford, Dave Evans, Don Evans, Bob Flower, Jack Graves, Diana Griffin, Alice Herzog, Matt Lemer, Cal Schmidt, Jerry Shephard, and Ed Verheilig.
Parnell Curry was contest chairman. and Arnold Eddy, Virgil Pinkley, and Albert Zech the judges.
Just back from a sabbatical leave tour of the Orient, Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science. will lecture on “UNESCO problems in Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines.” today at 3:13 in the art and lecture room of the University library.
Dr. Harley will discuss effects of the world dollar shortage on th# work of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural or* ganization.
IN GOOD POSITION
He says that America is in goo<J position to send educators and students abroad under the Fulbrighfc plan for international exchange at students and teachers. Other countries, however, are hampered by dollar shortages. Students and teachers coming to the United States must exchange their money for dollars from a central fune, and often there are no dollars available.
The Fulbright plan was Installed by an American Rhodes scholar after World War IL I* operates with a (20 million budget financed by the sale of surplus war material in China. Burma, Greece, and the United Kingdom, all participants in the educational exchange program.

Trojans Don't Believe in Hell
by Philip Adamsak
Most Trojans do not believe in Hell.
According to a Daily Trojan student opinion poll either the forces of iniquity have control of the campus, or the light of reason is shining triumphantly, depending on the point of view. *
“Do you believe in Hell?” was asked of a number of students yesterday afternoon. Fifty-four per cent did not.
Twenty-four per cent did believe in punishment after death. These were then asked if their Hell was the traditional one of fire and brimstone, devils, and eternal roasting. Two-thirds of these did not, but had their own conceptions of
Hell or no idea at all. They just believed in it.
Indecision was recorded by 13 per cent of the persons interviewed. Some of these harbored frank doubt. Others had given no thought to the subject. Still others refused to state their beliefs.
“I really don’t think it's important,” said one. “I don’t live in fear of what will happen when I die.” The most pungent answer was made by a man who, on being ask-
ed if he believed in punishment after death, replied, “Only maggots.”
“Hell, no,” was the most common answer.
A strong interest in the subject was revealed by the person who said, “That’s a pretty hard question to answer. I’ve studied a lot
of science, and cut up a lot of cats, but that doesn’t help any. A person usually gets punished enough here on earth.”
Several of the persons questioned took the seemingly contradictory stand that while they don’t believe in Hell, they do believe in Heaven. When pinned down they did admit that Hell might easily be the absence of Heaven.
Doubters to the idea of a classical Hell defended their stand with, the argument that, since a soul has no physical substance, they could not see how a fire-bathed eternity could make much difference.
It was interesting to note that more women than men believed in Hell. In addition, freshmen questioned were predominantly in the ranks of the believers.
